if its love

While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it

My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an idle singer
Remember winger
I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life

But I'm afraid when I hear stories
About a husband and wife
There's no happy endings
No Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me

[Chorus]
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That's enough for me

Took a loan on a house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy ya everything
Except cologne
'cause it's poison
We can travel to Spain where the rain falls
Mainly on the plain side and sing
'cause it is we can laugh we can sing
Have ten kids and give them everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face

You can move in
I won't ask where you've been
'cause everybody has a past
When we're older
We'll do it all over again

When everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you

If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
Then the rest is just whenever

If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me

mehserle's two years

There isnt quite a word...or maybe im not just not as eloquent as I previously thought. But seeing the NY Times headline, 2 Year Sentence, speaks volumes. That is the amount of time, minus the 146 days served that former BART officer, Johannes Mehserle, will receive for executing and yes that is the verbage I will use, an unarmed Oscar Grant on an Oakland train platform. So he will be out in a year's time. One single year. New Years Eve 2009 a man's life was taken by the carelessness of an officer, whether careless because he meant to pull his "taser "(bullsh..sneeze) or just because he didn't care. It was reported that Grant said after being shot, 'You shot me! I have a 4 year old daughter". He died seven hours later. From a single shot to the back as he was laying face down. Countless videos and images were uploaded to various social sites, sent in to local news stations and of course countless was seized as 'evidence' by the BART officers. Being black in America, or any country for that matter, this scenario isn't new nor surprising. But one would hope that in 2010 we would have reached a new place. One not so scary. So you mean to tell me, justice for the the life of a human being is two years, while Michael Vick got a steeper sentence for his dog-fighting ring and Plaxico Burrus for shooting his own damn self. Ok, America. Thanks.
