Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye
I come up hard, baby, and that ain't cool.
I didn't make it sugah, playing by the rules.
I come up hard, babe, but now I'm fine.
I'm shaking trouble sugah, moving down the line.
I come up hard, but that's OK.
'Cause Trouble Man, don't get in my way!!
I come up hard, baby!
I mean for real, baby!
Gonna keep movin', gonna go to town.
I come up hard, and now I'm gettin' down!
There's only 3 things that's fa sho,
Taxes, death and trouble
This I know, baby.
This I know.
Yeah, don't let it sweat you baby
Got me singing, yeah, yeah,

I come up hard, baby, I had to fight!
To keep my dignity, with all my might!
I come up hard, I had to win!
Then start all over. And win again!!
I come up hard, but that's OK!
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way
Hey, Hey!
Now I been some places, and I seen some faces
I got my connections, they take my directions
Don't care what they say. That's OK, they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care what the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
No laughin', no cryin', my protection's all around me
I come up hard, baby

There's only 3 things for sure

Hey now, let it sweat, baby
I've come up hard, but now I'm cool
I didn't make it, baby, playing by the rules
I've come up hard, baby, but now I'm fine
I'm shakin trouble, hey, moving down the line

A Word to Husbands by Ogden Nash
To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.

With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.

1967 Parole Hearings Man: Ellis Boyd Redding, your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
Red: Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.
1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society...
Red: I know what *you* think it means, sonny. To me it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?
1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, are you?
Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Lyrics 6
Say It To Me Now by Glen Hansard
I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm picking up a message Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm picking up a message Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now

Poem 4
Always by Pablo Neruda
I am not jealous
of what came before me.
Come with a man on your shoulders,
come with a hundred men in your hair,
come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,
come like a riverfull of drowned men
which flows down to the wild sea,
to the eternal surf, to time!
Bring them all
to where I am waiting for you;
we shall always be alone,
we shall always be you and I
alone on earth
to start our life!
I am not jealous
of what came before me.
Come with a man on your shoulders,
come with a hundred men in your hair,
come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,
come like a riverfull of drowned men
which flows down to the wild sea,
to the eternal surf, to time!
Bring them all
to where I am waiting for you;
we shall always be alone,
we shall always be you and I
alone on earth
to start our life!

Lost and Found by Ledisi
Always alone
Someone come for me
Here on my own
Feels like the pain lasts an eternity
Tears come no more
I wanna smile again
Love again
Please someone find me
Souls pass me by
Why can’t they see me here?
Touch me one time
Just like magic I will re-appear
Sadness like the rain it showers over me
I wanna feel again
Please someone find me
Lost not yet found
Breathing in misery
Hope looks around
When will the sun ever shine on me?
I need love to come and carry me
Take me away
Please someone find me
Oh you've saved my soul
Maybe I'll scream and shout
Please someone come
I don’t wanna live without love
Hear my plea
I have love to give
I wanna live
Please someone find me
Always alone
Someone come for me
Here on my own
Feels like the pain lasts an eternity
Tears come no more
I wanna smile again
Love again
Please someone find me
Souls pass me by
Why can’t they see me here?
Touch me one time
Just like magic I will re-appear
Sadness like the rain it showers over me
I wanna feel again
Please someone find me
Lost not yet found
Breathing in misery
Hope looks around
When will the sun ever shine on me?
I need love to come and carry me
Take me away
Please someone find me
Oh you've saved my soul
Maybe I'll scream and shout
Please someone come
I don’t wanna live without love
Hear my plea
I have love to give
I wanna live
Please someone find me

About Me
- AKIP
- I'm the fun, sarcastic, slightly bored and over it woman you saw at the other end of the bar. And yes, I am laughing at you and your friends. I've got a crazy sensitive BS detector, but I still have a beautiful smile. My friends come to me for advice, tough love and attitude to spare. I get along well with most folks, though I'm never quite sure why. There's a good chance I was mocking them just a few moments earlier. I'm over 30 and a voracious traveler, though I love my house to a startling degree. I still play video games, can probably drink you under the table and my family matters more to me than anything. I'm honest, mostly straightforward and hard to know really well. I've been called judgmental, and I'm working hard to not judge the idiots who said that. I learn from my mistakes, but that's no guarantee that I won't repeat them. I am an incredible friend, a decent worker and (apparently) a terrible girlfriend. But you'll love me anyway. Everybody does ... except those who don't.
