Poem: The Gully by GeorgeLife

Down a steep and weedy slope, was a place the parents said "do not go!"

A tall wall of shrubs and trees, but if you squeeze...

You can get through the grove.

Where the air is different, with the fresh smell of dew.

And the only sound is the creek and you.

There's rocks, water, and small critters,

So much timber the sun barely shines through.

The dogs bark, the teens laugh,

Long ago in times past,

My best friends we grew up too fast,

Down under the canopy, the mother's tummy, of the gully.

Meant to Be Lyrics

(Chorus 1):

If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.

I love the road, I love doing shows,

I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.

I love the road, I love doing shows,

I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.

I love the road, I love doing shows,

I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.

I love the road, I love doing shows,

I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.

(Verse 1):

I cross that threshold ha, spit like I got a chest cold and I, sometimes I gotta let go of my, anxiety, cause I’m trying to fly. I fly by no matter the weather I, get high lets get high together, I’ve survived and I’ve survived better, while all my friends are only getting deader! So cheers to the ones that remain, and here’s to you all that came, and thanks to you at least one soul has been saved, this debt can never be repaid. This present is gift, this moment we only get once, so let’s stay up and let’s have some fun!

CHORUS REPEAT

(Verse 2):

I’m that couch surfer, city to city I mic-murder, beyond burger, dedicated server, wander-er, I’ve come so far, but I’ve gone further. I showed them all, said I wouldn’t go nowhere, I got a show tomorrow, I got a show today, I’m on tour right now, hitting the radio, flying over seas I got shows to play! And I love seeing my peeps, everywhere I’m stickering streets, home cooked meals every night, every city is a home town to me. Never been about the money to me this life has been about spreading art, and making memories sharing a feeling that you get from the heart! I got a minivan, and a gas card, and a passport, I got mad skills, and everywhere I go I can rap for money, I can hustle merch and I can pay bills. I’m a made man, self made but no 401K, I’m already old and I’m gray, but I’m not retiring today hey hey!

If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.

Too Good Lyrics

“Too Good” by gLife from the album “All I Know” by gLife guitar and keys: Taylor Richards of Royal Bliss produced by LAM and Taylor Richards
ERIN: Hi babe it's me, I'm just calling to say hi, and to tell you how much I love you. And... I can't imagine my life without you, ever. I want to be with you forever and ever. Call me later, bye.
gLife: [CHORUS] Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[VERSE 1] She's too good, she's too young, I heard a lot of “too”'s from.. I'm too sprung, too high strung, but we come as one on the futon. Now who's wrong, when they said that nice girl ain't going to fall in love with me, She deserves a family, not somebody who went from chasing dragons to dreams. She does nice things, helps the world. Met her at “the J” with the boys and girls, hug her everyday gave her toys and pearls, mud on my face when she chose him first but... Someone like her worth trying twice, every single night 'till we got it right. Now our time came back around, You and me going to have a wonderful life.
[CHORUS]
Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me, you're too damn good for me.
[VERSE 2] Everything that, everyone told me, never turn back, you always hold me down when the clouds turn brown and gray, and every single clown is wearing a sad face you're always there to turn around and say that everything will be okay. And I know that I been for so long, waiting for you just to hold on, you and me together, we so strong. And we'll be together forever, but I know that's so wrong.
[CHORUS] Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[BRIDGE] You're too damn good for me, you're amazing when you breathe, everything you do and all you be, you're too damn good for me.
You're too damn good for me, you're too damn good for me...
[GUITAR SOLO by Taylor Richards of Royal Bliss]
[CHORUS] Now I can see, (I can see) what everyone else has seen (what they see, what they see), and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[BRIDGE] You're too damn good for me, (and now.....) you're amazing when you breathe (I can breathe...), everything you do and all you be, you're too damn good for me.
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) You're too damn for me, you're too damn good for me. (Come on, come on, come on, come on) You're too damn for me, you're too damn good for me.

Man of Stone Lyrics

(Chorus 1):

I am the man of stone, all my friends have died or they left me all alone, there was once a heart here, now it’s gone, I’m just the man of stone.

I am the man of stone, they can’t break me down and take my flesh and bone, I stand strong as a mountain, if I stand alone, I’m just the man of stone.

(Verse 1):

I watched my best friend pass, Matt did, put my hand on his head in a casket, had so many questions I asked him, but he didn’t answer them. I see him in my dreams, like I always did, ever since I was a kid cause me and him we were best friends. And Brazie too he was a crazy dude and mad bold, but the world got mad cold and they both died at like 32. And we all miss them but I understand that this life sucks, and I’ll see em soon enough if I can’t shake all this bad luck.

(Bridge 1): Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye. Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye.

It isn’t getting any easier, it isn’t getting any easier… it’s been a long long life…

(Verse 2):

Now, some might say I suffered heart break, but I say that’s karma, it doesn’t mean that it’s not trauma, but I don’t need pharma, and my momma, just beat cancer of the third kind, she didn’t deserve any of it, now she’s on borrowed time. Sometimes I think the world’s too much and I can’t breathe, I get so angry I don’t eat so lonely I don’t sleep. And it hurts that so many people purposefully hurt me, so I dig my grave and decorate it beautifully worthy.

Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye. Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye.

I am the man of stone, all my friends have died or they left me all alone, there was once a heart here, now it’s gone, I’m just the man of stone.

Voices Lyrics

Voices Lyrics - Off the 2017 album "My Rise"

“Voices” by G-Life - off the album "My Rise" available HERE
(I gotta go right now)
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
I can't stand still and I can't stand pills, I smoke an ounce a day for reals now I can't pay bills add that shit to the list of shit I want to kill I'd pull that trigger for real but it'd give me no thrill I'd feel nill I'm too fucking broke to buy an ill grill but I have the smarts and skills to have life insurance and a will quill cause all I need is a meal and some steel wheels but I ain't afraid to Holyfield like the real deal cause I be fighting all day and night in my nightmares and I'll be coming to your house if the fight's there my might's rare I might need eyewear cause I see no fear hand me that lighter lets cheef right here
crack that beer cause I like to drown my emotions in poison and liquor it makes me sicker and sicker and quicker and quicker they see in my eyes the pain but the passion don't flicker, and I should be dead but momma didn't raise no quitter
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
Can't stop pacing my minds racing these dudes that are hating man I can't even blame them I'm raging I'm hating myself I don't know why I want to die I'd commit suicide right now if it weren't for family that survive (life is hell) some things I've done I can't take back I'm sorry I forgive you I can't say that It's a wrap it's been ruined I laid traps I said screw it I'm trying to make things right but it'd take like a million years to do it I blew it I don't even know who it is in my reflection I want to forget and press reset but I cant because it ruined my whole fucking life I want punishment I want the knife I want it twice I want to make things right so I fight every night and I hate saying I hate myself but it's true and I hate fucking up all the time but I do that's why I drink and do drugs and I screw there's no excuse that's why I lose
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed I'm so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
