I have avery nice teacherFor my 4th period classHis name is Mr. PattonAnd he stays on my grassHe can be smart, intelligentAnd all of the aboveAnd when push comes to shoveMe Patton always spreads loveHe changes my poemsBut it's okayI'll stick at it faithfully'Till my dying day

GIRLSWhy do girls treat us the way they do?They treat you good one minuteAnd the next one they treat you likecrapI think it's very unfairAnd it's not even rightIlearned the hard way

Girlies ain't nothing but tricks andscandalousThat's why I trust none of themNow I'm a player for life

FACESThere are many ways a face can comeIt can come as a frownIt can come as a smileIt can look desperateOr maybe it can be wildIn every placeThere's a different kind of faceI doesn't even matter

what kind of race

MY DESTINYWhat will ever become of me?Will I make it and succeedOr will I die trying?Sometimes I sit and think about itBut there's only one thing to doSit back, and let time tell the story

A GLOOMY RAINY DAYI hate gloomy daysWhen the sun doesn't shineIalso hate days with lots of rainIt drives me wild 'till I think I'm insaneThese types of days are always boringWith no time for funAnd it is on these daysI wish for the sun

A HAPPy DAYI like a day when the sun shinesIt makes me feel warm and radiantWhen the beams from the sun shine downThey make me so happy I jump around

Sunshine, so light and so bright,Can make you feel like a bird in flightFlying high above the landTo distant places with clean brown sandAll these thoughts I keep in my mindI hope the sun still shines

LIFEWhy, oh, why is life so hardThese thoughts come to me all the timeSome people live wellSome live a life of crimePeople of all typesGet caught up in the gameSome people wish for luxurySome people live for fameThere's barriers to overcomeAnd plenty of decisions to makeSome people want a sliceOthers want the whole cakeBut all inall we have a lot to learnTake your time in life'Cause if you don't you might get burned

THEWINTERI hate it when it's cold outsideIt makes me hate walkingAnd makes me want a rideI cruise through the streetsWith my Ale pumping out heatBy God, oh, my, it'd be neat!I'd stop at lights and flirtWith all the pretty womenIt wouldn't be called sinningThen I would just chillAnd wait for the summer'Cause when winter's hereMy days are filled with slumber
