my people always telling me
be careful what i do
not everyone knows you like we do
i give my half blank stare and wonder
what it is they think they know
how arrogant to think others dont know me so well
how could they know when i dont know
is it merely a reflection of them that they fear
or is it that they really care
i dont think so
nothing counts so much as blood?
a bond based on chance
is that all they got to give me
man they dont know me at all
all my people just dont know
and they dont want to
i sure know that.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    Yet, don't you think there is something to blood relationships? At it's best it has to do with DNA and personality and bonds of concern doesn't it?

    ah a.m. you know i'm not a people person. sometimes blood doesn't matter. but my children? now that's another story altogether.

    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    i should have said he's not blood biologically. :) blood as we know can have many meanings.

    let's hope not. :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
