rooftop harmonies

Little bro, here's another song. I'm writing an original so you can sing along.
So I'm fresh like a rookie just getting off home plate.
My first base is a hit and run, so I gotta do time for a line so sick,
You'll pick it up like mono at midnight on New Year's Eve.
And you know I luh you like a fat kid loves to eat cake
But my affection for pastries makes my love seem fake
When you think about the choice our Savior had to make:
For our sake he took up the cross and defeated the grave
And all them things you could bake don't seem so great
When you look at his face, arms stretched out wide,
Cuz they nailed to the pine where he took our place,
Now what you know 'bout grace, fam?

i miss...
  saturday morning, watching the world go by
  xbox, loud music, and touching the sky
  your arms around me, your hand in mine
  your sleepy eyes and long sighs
  mountains of pillows piled high
         the tears that i cried, all the ways that i died
         the anger i couldn't erase from your eyes
                  you stole the sun from my day
                  you turned my skies gray
                  left me nothing to say
                  gave me hope one day
                  and then took it away
                  i'm still lost in your gaze
                  i had nothing to gain
                  but you gave me your pain
                  and you took me away
         the fire inside, you stealing my pride
         your lies wrapped up in their truthful disguise
  climbing that hill to see the skyline
  your crazy blue eyes piercing my mind
  my hair in your hands and your dreads in mine
  the way that you made me feel so alive
i miss...

I called you back, but the phone just rang
We seem to miss each other a lot these days
May be bogus to you, but I need some boundaries
And I know it hurts us both, but I think
It could push you to be the man I know you could be
Maybe that sounds weird, cuz I know
Not a lot of people's putting these expectations on you
But they don't know you like I do
They don't know that your heart is true
That you feel deeply about all you do
Yeah, you got a mouthpiece that you gotta control
Or maybe it got control of you, who knows? (lol ;-)

But forget about that, it's not so much about
You and your problems as it is my doubt
That I can make it at this time
In certain situations in which we often found ourselves
I'm strugglin with all these changes
That I'm trying to make to make my life better
To get through this cold weather
I'm not talking about snow as much as the aftermath
It's like Katrina tore through my life
And now I'm tryna get it back

So don't feel so bad.Ya sabes I love you
Don't think that I'm not always thinkin of you
I know that today is your big day
You twenty-two, yeah, do you!
But remember who knew you, the true you
When you was new, takin your first breath
Cuz I'm thanking Him for makin you
And for puttin us through all that we went through
And I'm praying that He'll make me and you
Something brand new in everything we do
Happy birthday, bro, I love you!

I started writing this a few weeks ago and finished it early this morning at about 1 am. So if it stops making sense 1/2 way through, that's way. I'm not tryna hate on anyone either. Everything I say is because of God's love and grace, so don't miss that. Hopefully I said it with love. If not, God forgive me and help my efforts! 
~But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8~

Years in your eyes, you put on your disguise
I can't hide or deny these tears I done cried
As I'm watching you, you're slippin
Tyrna hold on to your existence
My heart is breaking for you, bro
But it don't annihilate the distance

You tryna reach Pluto
But this astronaut is trippin'
Got them stars up in your eyes
But they obstructing your vision
Get your head out them strange clouds
Let gravity pull you back down

You think that true life is won in the streets?
Or it comes between the sheets (get it)?
Well then you would be mistaken
It's not something that can be taken
Like watchin a disaster, it's a lot to take in
But all that garbage is just fakin'

I already told you, you already know
You wildin' out, you outta control
And I love you man, but you gotta grow
It feels so strong to say I gotta let you go
But you were never mine. (you feelin my flow?)
God's your Father, bro; you're not on your own

Gotta step away from this life I been leadin'
And follow that path that started in Eden
Leading to a cross where Jesus was bleedin'
Don't you see bro, we need him?
You can't get faded enough to fade out his blood
He didn't die for the just (who's that?)
He died and rose for all of us.

Dear KB man, I love your new album!
Your songs encourage me an have helped me some.
Especially the one that you called Open Letter.
This life is a battlefield and I want to get better.
While I'm not to the point of the girl in the song,
But I've been looking for love so long but I've got it all wrong!
I've been trying and failing and falling and crying
To God for some strength but I feel like I'm dying.
I've been used and abused and left empty and lonely.
Where are the good men who don't want to use me?
Why does love in this life gotta be so hard?
I wish I could just drop down my guard
But every time that I have has been a time
When I fell, went through hell with these guys
Who just wasting my time, feeding me lines
Using my insecurities to get next to me
Breaking me down, push me around
My heart is open, I'm broken, I'm asking you please
Pray for your sister, send me some hope
I got this disease! I need a cure or a vaccine
So help me, please. God, help me, please!
