Woo, woo-woo-woo, wooo
Never seen a sun shine like this
Never seen the moon glow like this
Never seen the waterfalls like this
Never seen the lights off like this
Never dug anyone like this
Never had tasty lips to kiss
Never had someone to miss
Never heard a song quite like this

Fortunate to have you girl
I’m so glad you’re in my world (Hey)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you

Never had room service all night
Never took a trip first class flight
Never had a love affair so tight
I’ve never felt a feeling so right
Never seen a winter so white
Never had words to recite
Never had a flame to ignite
And I never sang a song with all my might

Fortunate to have you girl
I’m so glad you’re in my world (I’m so ecstatic, baby)
Just as sure as the sky is blue (Ooh)
I bless the day that I found you (It’s all about)

Fortunate to have you girl (Hey, lady)
I’m so glad you’re in my world (So, so, so glad)
Just as sure as the sky is blue (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I bless the day that I found you (Can you hear the silent shouts?)

Silent shouts I hope you hear
I’m callin’ out to your body
(I’m calling out) Letting you know just what to do
Close the door no interlude
(Put your hands together, now)

Fortunate to have you girl (Let it sing)
I’m so glad you’re in my world
(That she, she’s my girl, my world, my pearl)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you
(And I’m so mighty, mighty proud about it)

Fortunate to have you girl (No shame in my game)
I’m so glad you’re in my world (Oh)
Just as sure as the sky is blue (No)
I bless the day that I found you

(I wanna know you are)
Fortunate to have you girl
(I wanna know you are)
(I wanna let them know)
I’m so glad you’re in my world
(Let the whole world know why)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
(Let the whole world know why)
(Lovin’ my baby, now)
I bless the day that I found you
(Lovin’ my baby, now)
(Lovin’ my baby, now)

Fortunate to have you girl (Ain’t nobody)
I’m so glad you’re in my world
(I said ain’t no lady, lady, lady, better than my baby)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you

(See I’m so mighty, mighty proud ’bout it, ’bout it)
Fortunate to have you girl
I’m so glad you’re in my world
(Babe, it’s making me dance)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you
(Making me dance)
(Making me dance out loud)

(Making me dance) Fortunate to have you girl
I’m so glad you’re in my world (Making me dance)
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you (Making me dance)

Fortunate to have you girl
I’m so glad you’re in my world
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you

(Shh)
(Don’t say nothing)
(I know you understand)
(I know you…)
(You’re the only thing I’m thinking about, now)
(You’re the only thing that makes me wanna come outta these walls)

Yeah, it’s crazy
It’s crazy, come on, come on
Yeah, hee-hee-hee hey-hee
I wanna tell you, really
Oh, yeah, wanna know, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I wanna know, yeah, uh-huh

Hey, baby, how you doing tonight?
I wanna let you know, I wanna tell just how I feel
Don’t wanna love you, baby, and it’s going so right
I wanna burn a candle, turn the darkness to the light

With the fire we make, it’s getting hotter and hotter
Like a moth to a flame, I can’t stay away
From the fire we make, it’s getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day, I can’t stay away, no, no, no, no

(Yeah, oh, yeah)
No, no stay away
(Yeah)

Hi, baby, won’t you tell me the truth?
You wanna be the one, you can’t stay away
Oh, hey darling, don’t you make no excuse
We can chase the sun and burn a hole inside you

From the fire we make, it’s getting hotter and hotter
Like a moth to a flame, I can’t stay away
With the fire we make, it’s getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day, I can’t stay, I can’t stay away

This invincible pull and it takes us to the stars
It’s getting higher and higher
It’s the fire we make
(It’s the fire we make)
Getting sweeter and sweeter
Like a night to a day
(‘Bout to make up these flames)
I can’t stay away, say it, no no

(Yeah, yeah)
No, no
(Oh, you know it’s bad)
No, no, can’t stay away
No, no, no
(Baby can’t stay away)
Oh, you, no, no
(No you can’t)
No, no
(Baby, baby, baby)
No, no

Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I wanna tell you, baby
I gotta love you, no, I just wanna stay with you
(Saw you waiting there, babe)
I can’t be done, I just can’t stay away
(I’m ’bout to make all, make all these flames)
I wanna make so much fire with you, baby
I wanna go, gonna go, to you, darling, oh
I wanna say, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, that’s right)
I, I, I, I
(Fire We Make)

CEO Motivation: Strengthen Your Core

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.“
– Tim Notke

Develop your entrepreneurial talents like an Olympic weightlifter. Olympic weightlifting is a highly technical sport composed of the snatch and clean & jerk. Both lifts challenge the athlete’s ability to overcome inertia explosively, while maintaining core stability. Beginners are taught the complexity of the lifts in phases. Most coaches will not allow a beginner to use any weight. A single training session can focus solely on one phase of a lift, using only bodyweight. Weight is added proportional to improvements in skill level. Each lift requires decades of practice to perfect. And expert lifters will continue to practice drills that they learned as a novice. After many, many years of hard work and dedication, weightlifters become very-powerful, highly-skilled athletes capable of making these complex lifts an extension of their core muscle groups.

Like weightlifters, entrepreneurs should develop their entrepreneurial talents in phases. Embrace your natural tendency to get lost in a task. That is your core talent, but be able to explain your process in steps for others. Dedicate yourself to performing those steps on a daily basis. That talent will become a strength. Also, practicing these steps will help you identify your other talents. Adding additional talents to your daily routine is equivalent to the Olympic weightlifter increasing weight during their training session. Your hard work and dedication will make you a very-powerful and highly-skilled businessperson with a business that is an extension of your core strengths.

Talk to you soon,

See me, I’ve been an officer for 17 years
It was popular when I started up
Kids wanted to be us
But now I’m watching them offer up middle fingers when we pull up
You would think I was harming them
But we still come when they call us up
Put my life on the line
Every night I’m behind this badge
And I ride through your hood to prevent the crime that’s inside
You want justice and peace and that’s what we try to provide
But when we try it you pick the criminal side every time
Until it’s one of mine, that’s like the only time you comply
But any other time you look me in my eye and you lie
You only want accountability when it’s me
But other times you lie to keep your dealers and killers free
You act like we the ones causing chaos in the streets
Like if we leave the killing ‘ill cease and it’ll be sweet
But we both know that that ain’t the truth
Imagine protecting those that hated you
Well, I guess in your own way you do

I just feel misunderstood
And if you could take a minute just to see it my way
And even if we just agree to disagree at least you see why I’m thinking this way
I got a family at the crib
I’m just tryin’ to make it home tonight
We just out here tryin’ to live
Man, I gotta make it home tonight

Dear mister officer, if i could get a minute to talk to you
Maybe offer some insight, or bounce a couple things off of ya
It’s a disconnect
I feel like you get a check to disrespect
To me, my ‘fit is fresh
I guess to you, my image is a threat
Maybe I remind you of some sucker that you busted once
Or maybe you’ve been at it for so long that you’re becoming numb
You uphold the law, but tell me what’s that supposed to mean to me
For once upon a time that law punished me for being me
Yeah, you got your good cops and bad cops
But if the good cop don’t check the bad cop, to me you both black ops
You’re covering for that cop
So why should I believe you
You living by the same no snitching rules that we do
Now, who’s protecting evil?
Or does that not apply to you?
Maybe you different
Maybe I should stop profiling you
You judging me
I’m judging you
My color black
Your color blue
Guess now you know how it feels to be judged by your color too

I just feel misunderstood
And if you could take a minute just to see it my way
And even if we just agree to disagree at least you see why I’m thinking this way
I got a family at the crib
I’m just tryin’ to make it home tonight
We just out here tryin’ to live
Man, I gotta make it home tonight

Why You Hurting Me – Single

Composer

What if I told a lie?
What if I held your heart in my hands?
What if I just loan my love?
What if I?
What if I didn’t care too much?
What if I dropped the ball on us?
What if I found somebody better instead?
If you don’t love or care no more
Deep in your heart like you use to
Just let me know, I’ll be gone
Gone this time for sure

I need you to hurry up and get over here
‘Cause my mind and my body’s, slowly fading
I’m trying not to be so impatient
But you hurting me
When you say you care
But you don’t understand
My time is precious, and I’m not waiting
I’m with you, next day, it’s like we’re strangers
Why you hurting me?

You don’t gotta apologize
I’m not trying to start a fight
I just want to reconcile it
Baby, let me all inside
Tired of trying to read your mind
This time, won’t you just be honest?

Baby, don’t lie to me
Promise you’ll never leave
Baby, don’t let these feelings pass
What’s it gone take for you to see
That you’re the only one for me?
There’s no place I’d rather be, yeah
If you don’t love or care no more
Deep in your heart like you used to
Let me know, I’ll be gone
Gone this time for sure

But I need you to hurry up and get over here
‘Cause my heart and my body’s, slowly fading
I’m trying not to be so impatient
But you’re hurting me
When you say you care
But you don’t understand
My time is precious, and I’m now waiting
I’m with you, it’s like we’re strangers
Why you hurting me? Yeah

Why you hurting me?
Why you hurting me?
