1. Song title: To be or… to be the BEST
Genre: Rock
Explanation: This song really shakes up the ideas of young America’s problem with just getting by. Too many times I have seen people waste there god given talents. They throw them away as if they never wanted them to begin with. Young Americans truly live in a society were anything is possible, were no matter who you are if you work hard enough you can accomplish anything. What I hope people would take away from this song, is to not just sit around, and watch the world go by change the world, make your talents’ work for you because it will take you as far as you want it to. To limits that only people can imagine in their dreams.

Lyrics:
People walk by, and all they see Him
A poor homeless bum no shirt, no sleeves down on both knees
Dyeing in his sleep
Dead to the world with one eye open
If they only new
This poor homeless bum was once a king,
But they keep walking by they don’t ever stair
All any one wants’ is to imagine he wasn’t there
For fear of the thought that they too would turn it to homeless bum # 2
If they only new
Music Video: The music video would be one big flash back sequence.
Part1: You the old man a bum on a side walk sleeping with one eye open people passing him on the streets trying to avoid his stench at all costs as to not vomit. The man dreams sweet dreams of his younger days when he was a star athlete who had it all and was on a fast track to stardom. Until he decided he wanted fast money, and quit sports, and school to sell drugs, and gangbang with his so called friends.
Part2: He wakes from his dream only to realize that it was only that a dream, and that reality is much colder. He looks around thinking he is in someone else’s body but soon realizes that this nightmare is the reality he has woken from. He quickly tries to fall back asleep. To get back to the world which he is someone but he can’t it has already passed him by cruelly, and without remorse he has become wasted talent to the world.

CD title: Wasted… till you Realize
The CD cover would have a picture of an old man walking empty streets because people would be trying to avoid him at all coasts his torn clothing all matted, and discolored hanging off of him like tissue paper. While at the other end of the CD cover, you would see his former younger self a star athlete with everything he ever wanted just beyond his grasp almost touching the discolored old man but unobtainable because he has wasted his talent, and time has passed him by.


2. Song Title: Gangster’s Wanted Dead or Alive… But mostly DEAD
Genre: Rap
Explanation: This song deals with the lies, sex, and corruption that occur today in modern politics, and especially in politicians that run our country. It also helps people to understand that they hold power to. That as easily as we give politician’s, and CEO”s power over our country, we can just as easily take that power away. Open your mind is what I want people to see to the greed that occurs every day around them, and try, and fight back because when good people stop trying, that’s when the corrupt win.


3. Song title: Down the Empty Road of lost Souls

Genre: Pop/Rock

Explanation: This song speaks to the soldiers fighting over in the Middle East. These soldiers that are fighting for people aren’t appreciated enough toady. They sacrifice so much, family, their children, their wives, sons’ daughter, and brothers. Yet people sometimes don’t realize that they are just people like you, and me trying to defend what we take from granted freedom, rights, equality. This song is for them for the Fallen, and the ones still fighting on we love you all.

4. Song title: Rage of the Mind

Genre: Rap/Rock

Explanation: This song is about young teen’s today boys and girl’s. It’s about how each gender is faced with unimaginable expectations about their self image. It is hard enough today for teen’s to be happy with themselves without the added pressure of trying to look a certain way all the time. To have the perfect body, or the perfect girlfriend, the perfect everything in life. This song speaks to people to be happy with who you are, and that no matter what race, religion, or gender you truly are a beautiful person.

5. Song title: Piece is dead but Bullets aren’t

Genre: Rap/R&B

Explanation: This song speaks to the ever increasing amount of deaths each year in our country from hand Guns. It really shows how people today try, and solve conflicts not with their words, or their fists, but with bullets, and violence. That the days of walking away from a fight with a few cuts scraps, and at worst a broken bone, or too are long gone. Now people come home in body bags, and caskets.
