Confusion In Life
[Verse 1]
Dear Lord you show me the best of times
Show me the worst of times
And I fight for what I want
But I die for what I need
As I'm going on, through this life
I keep myself off the ice
I will hide from all strife
Dare, would I look back twice
Couldnt care what people say
Hell, I keep my head up any day
Travel through, the stormy way
Imma finish my way
[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean
I don't have this free time.
What I mean, is what I mean
Can I still drop you a line?
[Verse 2]
The pool of lies
Innocent lives just hides
Waters of hate
Have you ever learned how to appreciate?
You isn't cool
Playa, yous just a fool
Yup shua, just bomb in that pool
You aren't ever going to rule
Now you have heard my take
Can I please get a break?
A five, a ten
Then we'll start it up again
[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean
I don't have this free time.
What I mean, is what I mean
Can I still drop you a line?
Dear Lord you show me the best of times
Show me the worst of times
And I fight for what I want
But I die for what I need
As I'm going on, through this life
I keep myself off the ice
I will hide from all strife
Dare, would I look back twice
Couldnt care what people say
Hell, I keep my head up any day
Travel through, the stormy way
Imma finish my way
[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean
I don't have this free time.
What I mean, is what I mean
Can I still drop you a line?
[Verse 2]
The pool of lies
Innocent lives just hides
Waters of hate
Have you ever learned how to appreciate?
You isn't cool
Playa, yous just a fool
Yup shua, just bomb in that pool

Now you have heard my take
Can I please get a break?

Then we'll start it up again
[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean

Confusion In Life Reflection
The song that I presented was good. The reason I wrote it is because I wanted to show how I wanted to stay away from drugs throughout my life. I wanted to show people that I actually have a life set out in front of me, instead of doing drugs. I want to live a happy life with children and no drugs or gang life involved.

Confusion In Life Analysis
I wanted to write a story that related to my life and I go through it each day. I thought that my life related to me the best and that it would define my song perfectly. I sang my song about how there is all this confusion on mind however, that I am still able to make it through each day. I wanted to make this song a rap so I tried to think of how it would be in Gang Violence places in Los Angeles. However, I know that's kind of harsh but I tried to relate my life into the Gang Violence place. So in my song it's not so harsh it is more on the lesser side of the story. I also talk about how I don't have all this time to waste because sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel like I just want to stop time and hide from the stress.
I started of my song singing about how the Lord shows me the best and the worse of the times while I proceed through life. When I smile I basically smile to make it look like that whatever is hitting me hard I try to hide the feelings that I am producing. The feelings that I produce are gained through the actions that either I produce or that others reflect upon me. As though I hate the worse of times the best of times are when the real smile comes out. I also say how I fight for what I want but I die for what I need. This is all true because you wouldn't fight for what you need because you don't know what you until you it comes to you. You would rather fight for what you want than die for what you want.
I started to sing about how I am going to try and keep myself away from drugs such as ice. However, I really am trying to stay away from all drugs because I don't want to mess up my life but get addicted to something dumb that's worthless. I also said how I am trying to hide from all strife. Which basically means that I am trying to stay away from fights, such as vigorous conflicts. I am trying to become friends with people and getting to know them instead of getting into fights with my friends over stupid conflicts. I am saying that I don't want to even look back at it twice because I don't. Once something bad happens I am always trying to be forgiving or asking for forgiveness. However, my friends and I have grown closer together from getting into a strife but I don't want to loose any of my friends from using fists in any kind of situations.
I did sing about how I don't care what people say and how I am going to try am travel through my life my own way. That isn't really how I think but sometimes it is because when I get mad I just don't care. However, when I need help I care what people say and how they help me react to the situation. I also show this through helping people and asking for other people to help me.
In my second verse I start it off saying how there are pools of lies just hanging around waiting for people to get sucked in by Satan's wrong doings. In Los Angeles innocent people die everyday because they get into things and try to stop things from happening but then the accomplice shoots the person that tries to stop then from proceeding with the actions they are trying to perform. However, I said now how innocent people are trying to hide because they don't want to be killed from something dumb. I also talk about the waters of hate that is also produced by Satan's wrong doings. I say has anyone taught how to appreciate. The meaning behind this is has anyone taught you how to appreciate the life that you live because you never know when you last day will be.
In conclusion, this analysis that I just wrote is saying that I am relating my song to my personal life and rapping about how I think my life is and what I am trying to do to fix my life. And just to end it off good the name of my song is called "Confusion In Life".

Da Aina Sonnet
Flying between the sunshine and the sea
And now with trees sway in the clearly breeze
Hawaiian islands why can't we just be
The eight islands of the Hawaiian chain
With tons of haoles bringing their sunscreen
Number fifty in the line, which is the state
The taro and the poi that is so clean
The sun and beach oh baby it just waits
Leave the Hawaiian country lands alone
The poly's are the founders of the land
Queen Liliuokalani had the throne
The lava rocks cooled and turned into sand
Kamehameha was the noble king
All in all we are under his noble wing
And now with trees sway in the clearly breeze
Hawaiian islands why can't we just be
The eight islands of the Hawaiian chain
With tons of haoles bringing their sunscreen
Number fifty in the line, which is the state
The taro and the poi that is so clean
The sun and beach oh baby it just waits
Leave the Hawaiian country lands alone
The poly's are the founders of the land
Queen Liliuokalani had the throne
The lava rocks cooled and turned into sand
Kamehameha was the noble king
All in all we are under his noble wing
Sonnet Analysis
The reason behind Michael Zane and I writing about "Da Aina" is because we thought that soon people are going to forget the real meaning of the Hawaiian Islands. The real meaning behind the Hawaiian Islands was that basically only Hawaiians were supposed to live here and keep the country, country but now that technology is getting better more housing is being built leading to new possibilities in life. So as I grow older I want to remember a poem that will always tell me that there is a lot being left behind about Hawai`i. For example that history of the Hawaiian Islands and the important people that played important roles in making Hawai`i a better society for all of us.
A day in Hawai`i is different compared to the mainland because in Hawai`i you can see the trees sway in the wind when the wind is barely even blowing. The day in Hawai`i is also different because some days I think, to myself there is so much things that some people don't know about that happened here, that I might know about. Like all the soldiers that died in battle. For instance the warriors that were linked to Kamehameha and the soldiers that died in Pearl Harbor. As I know I know that I would be pretty freaked out by all the spirits that rome this island.
The history of Hawai`i because today we still talk about the history of Hawai`i and how it affected our community. Kamehameha the Great reigned for a long time. Kamehameha the Great then died in 1819. After Kamehameha died Liholiho took his position until Kamehameha the II was old enough to reign his father's position. Five years later Kamehameha the II was assassinated and Kamehameha the III reigned his positions. So as you can see the Kamehameha dynasty reigned for pretty long. The Queen of Hawai`i back in the day was Queen Liliuokalani was one of the last reigning monarchs of Hawai`i. She helps annex the state of Hawai`i into the United States.
The volcanoes that erupted in Hawaii such as Diamond Head, Kilauea and etc. The lava that cooled then formed the land and started to grow plants and things that created the island of Hawaii. The plants that were made created the country that today is being consumed and built on. Then on the beach the waves used to crash on the lava rocks which turned the lava rocks into sand, which now we can walk on. Basically the reef in the ocean is the lava rock that didn't reach the surface of the water to make the land larger. For example in Makapu'u the reef out there didn't fully reach the surface that caused the land to not be larger.
If you look at the Hawaiian Islands they each have their own uniqueness that makes each island different. Some islands are larger than the others. The size of the islands doesn't matter. However the thing and history that goes down in that is the thing that counts. If you have a bad government that isn't backed up by good reigning kings or government leaders then your government and society will fall to the ground. See in Hawai`i we have good leaders that support our every move, which just makes our states more positive. The positive ness is from the actions that they perform. The positive ness gives our congress and government the confidence to make new laws and pass laws that makes our state become less destructive and better in helping the civilizations wise.
The taro plant that we used and turn into poi is Hawaiian favorite. The poi gives the Hawaiians the big bodies because the taste of poi is so sweet and delicious that even I could eat poi forever. I love to make poi as well because for the tourists that don't know what they are doing try to just eat the taro plant straight for the root. However if you do that there is this thing in cleaning process that has to be performed. The reason behind this is because if you bite right into the taro plant at the root you get this itchy scratchy feeling in your throat that makes you want to drink water. However, it starts to get worse and worse like when you swallow it feels like your swallowing with knives in your throat.
