PRETTY'S NO EXCUSE...by Talile Ali

SEEN ALL KINDS OF UGLINESS DONE BY FOLKS THESE DAYS
JUST CAUSE THEY'RE PRETTY THEY SEEM TO THINK IT'S OK
TO RUN AROUND WRECKLESSLY AND DESTROY WHAT THEY MAY

FOR SOME REASON NO ONE WILL PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE
THEY LET THEM RUN AROUND AND RUIN THE SPACE
BEING PRETTY IS THEIR LICENCE TO DEFACE

PRETTY IS NO EXCUSE
FOR PERPETUATING SELF-SERVING ABUSE
RAGING BULL ON THE LOOSE
PRETTY IS NO
PRETTY IS NO EXCUSE

WHEN AN ARGUEMENT COMES WALKIN THRU THAT FRONT DOOR
PRETTY WILL BE USED TO SHUT IT DOWN AND WHATS MORE
IT NEVER GIVES A DAMN OR WHAT THE HELL FOR

SAD TRUTH ABOUT IT IS THAT WE ALL PLAY
AROUND WITH PRETTY HOPING TO BE RUBBED RIGHT THAT DAY

SHIPPIN BLUES...by Talile Ali

LOOKIN DOWN THE RIVER

TRAVELIN THRU THIS CITY

LETS BE SO INVITING
DISH THESE SHIPPIN BLUES

myth and abuse...by Talile Ali

we all are human
what is the use
all are victims
of myth and abuse

humans like to mess around
we don't think we're sluts
only when it's women,
then we soil all they touch

add to that the reality of
old men with young girls together
we accept it like that as lust and love
older women and young boys together
we see as cougars out slumming with thugs

myth and abuse
myth and abuse
so much insanity
based on lies and misuse

RETURN TO WONDERLAND...by Talile Ali

RETURN TO WONDERLAND
RETURN TO WONDERLAND
I SHOULD HAVE CHANGED MY PLANS
RETURN TO WONDERLAND

I MET A YOUNG GIRL
AS CUTE AS SHE COULD BE
BRIGHTER THAN A BUTTON
GOT THE BEST OF ME

MAMA WAS A HOE THOUGH
MESSED AROUND A LOT
NEVER KNEW HER REAL DAD
SEX IS ALL SHE GOT

HER MOM LIKED HER PLAYIN'
BABY LEARNED REALLY WELL
BETTER TO DO SOMEONE
THAN LIVE IN THIS HELL

Save The Peace

Children safe out in the street
Free to walk and play and eat
Parents talking with their friends
Neighborhoods where shopping blends
Innovation everywhere
Creating jobs for all to share
Never needing to receive aide or welfare
Because the work is everywhere
Musicians, Artists, Craftsmen too
Making a world all fresh and new
Never needing to be controlled
And a fair tax to uphold
Our officials in the land
Passing laws we understand
Healthcare free to everyone
It's just right in a world that's one
And industry that's green and clear
Providing products free of toxins and fear
This is what peace means for all
Criminals will get help when they fall

I'M WASTIN MY TIME...by talile ali

HERE I AM IN SUCH A MESS
HAVING EMOTIONS I CAN'T ADDRESS
LOVIN A WOMAN WHO'S SO CONFUSED
RUIN FOR DISASTER, BORN TO LOSE

EVERY DAY DISS HER OLD MAN
TALK BOUT THE LOVIN FROM SOME STRANGER'S HAND
GUESS SHE'S DOING THE BEST THAT SHE CAN
RULIN' IN HELL AGAIN

LOSSIN ALL MY MARBLES, NEED TO GO
NEVER'LL KNOW HER LOVIN, THIS I KNOW
SHE WONT BE THE WOMAN I CAN SHARE
ALL LIFE HAS TO OFFER AND TO SPARE

I'M WASTIN MY TIME ON YOU
I'M BEING A DRESSED UP FOOL
SHE SAY'S SHE LIKES OTHER MEN
AS IF THOSE WORDS DON'T OFFEND

Peace of Mind

Living in a world of greed
Seeing so many I know in need
Where's the hope and helping hand
When will we all take a stand
Laughing at the one's in woe
how could we ever sink so low
with out love or compassion
we are only living in sin
deep inside our heart we're scared
Never going where they've dared
Listen to the propaganda
Just like some old docile panda
Are we humane beings at all
Why don't we hear the clarion call
Of a society that bleeds
From the wars upon our seeds
Charity begins right here
In our reach, and In our ear
listen to the chime of sighs
Of the babies as they cry

I am ANIMAL...by talile ali

For the longest time
I have aspired to
so many high minded
humane goals.

Unfortunately,
I have not attained any of them
for any real amount of
time

Why?

Its not from a lack of commitment,
I don't think.
It is more about
something else.

Some would say its lust,
desire, greed, envy, fear

Relation Ship...by talile ali

I use to believe that love could get you thru anything.
I now know love really isn't enough

I loved my wife, as she was, with all of my heart
But her hate of me was of sterner stuff

She says she doesn't, but I know thats not so
She fights me at every decision

She always tells me I don't know what I'm doing
She always tells me I am wrong with precision

She seldom encourages me in anything I'm pursuing
In fact she's never seen one thing my way have done

I don't know why I ever believed that she loved me
I must have been some kind of fool to some

She was only biding her time and hoping I would get lucky
Then she'd take me for all of got.

Mamma's Baked Chicken And Rice

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SPECIAL AND NICE
I FELT ABOUT MAMMA'S CHICKEN AND RICE
BUT FOR ME AT THE TIME IT WAS BEYOND PRICE
EVERY DAY MAMMA'S CHICKEN AND RICE

WHEN I WAS SICK AND NEEDED YOUR CARE
WITHOUT GATTING A LASH CHICKEN AND RICE WAS THERE
THE DOCTORS TOLD YOU BLAND, AND THAT WAS FINE BY ME
CHICKEN AND RICE MADE BLAND SPECIAL FOR ALL TO SEE

AT FIRST AFTER DAY'S OF HAVING THIS SERVED TO ME
I WAS PISSED AS HELL TILL I HAD A TALK WITH MY BUDDY
EVERY DAY HE'D COME OVER TO GET ME TO PLAY
AND HE'D SEE ME FINISHING MY CHICKEN AND RICE EVERY DAY

HE SAID THAT YOUR MOMMA MUST REALLY LOVE YOU
SHE MAKES THAT EVERY DAY, AND ON THE WEEK ENDS TO
SHE GOES IT SO QUICKLY AND IT SMELLS SO GOOD
YOUR MOMMA MUST REALLY LOVE, I WISH MY MOMMY WOULD
