In short, guy w/ XDR TB (extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis) got a quarantine order while overseas and, instead of going to the U.S. embassy to be isolated and flown back to the U.S. for treatment, opted to get on two planes for a trans-Atlantic flight to Canada before sneaking across the border back to the U.S. Oh yeah, he's a personal injury lawyer so you'd think he'd be able to understand the seriousness of a quarantine order from the U.S. government. And his father-in-law is a TB specialist at the CDC, so even if it's not dinner-table conversation, he must at least know what it is and likely know how serious it is! I try to give people of the doubt most of the time, but this guy is beyond me...
I was blown away What could I say It all seemed to make sense. You're taking away everything And I can't do without.
I try to see the good in life. The good things in life are hard to find. We're blowing away, blowning away Can we make this something good?
Well I'll try to do to it right this time around It's not over, Try to do it right this time around It's not over But a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me But you're the only one It's not over.
I've taken all I can take And I cannot wait We're wasting too much time Being strong, holding on Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything So I won't give up that easily Blowing away blowing away Can make this something good? Cause it's all misunderstood?
Well I'll try to do to it right this time around It's not over, Try to do it right this time around It's not over But a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me But you're the only one It's not over.
You can't let this get away Let it out, let it out Don't get caught up in yourself Let it out.
Let's start over Well try to do to it right this time around Its not over But a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me But your the only one It's not over.
Lets start over It's not over This love is killing me But you're the only one It's not over
That's something I didn't think I'd say. Not because New Hampshire sucks, mind you, but because I don't hear about it/talk about the state.. ever. But they're offering free HPV vaccines. I'm not quite sure I can understand why HPV vaccine's so taboo or why people make such a big hubbub about it. Yeah, HPV is sexually transmitted, but just you give kids the vaccine doesn't mean they're going to go on rampant sexcapades. Like if I weren't allergic to tetanus vaccine and had one I wouldn't be running over rusty nails all day long. It'd like not giving Epi-pens to people who are prone anaphylactic reactions to bee stings or peanuts or shellfish. It's just not smart in my book.

I hear Brenda's got a baby Well, Brenda's barely got a brain A damn shame Tha girl can hardly spell her name (another guy: that's not her problem, that's up tao Brenda's family) Well let me show you how it affects the whole community Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky Went in debt to his arms, it's sad 'cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know Just 'cause you're in tha eghetto doesn't mean you can't grow But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation Brenda got herself a boyfriend Her boyfriend was her cousin, now let's watch the joy end She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she Went out and had a church of kids As long as when the check came they got first dibs Now Brendas belly is gettin bigger But no one seems to notice any change in her figure She's 12 years old and she's having a baby In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever And dreams of a world where the two of them are together, whatever He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the bathroom floor And didn't know so, she didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap I guess she thought she'd get away Wouldn't hear the cries She didn't realize How much the little baby had her eyes Now the baby's in the trash heap bawling Mama can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling Brenda wants to run away Mama say, you making me lose pay, the social workers here everyday Now Brenda's gotta make her own way Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed So now what's next, there ain't nothin left to sell So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain "Prostitute found slang" And Brenda's her name.
Now little Lisa is only 9 years old She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold Why she's all alone and ain't neva met her family Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy Part of her is missing and nobody will listen Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen Bringing home men at different hours of the night Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight Sneaking in her room while her mama's knocked out Trying to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch' She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.
Little Nicole is only 10 years old She's steady trying to figure why the world is so cold Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her Alcoholic step-dad always wanna strike her Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises Teachers ask questions she making up excuses Bleeding on the inside, crying on the out It's only one girl really knows what she about Her name is lil Stacy and they become friends Promise that they always be tight 'til the end Until one day lil Stacy gets shot A drive by bullet went stray up on her block Now Nicole stuck up in the world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.
Little Erica is eleven years old She's steady trying to figure why the world is so cold So she pops x to get rid of all the pain Plus she's having sex with a boy who's sixteen Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love So there's no protection he's using no glove Never thinking 'bout the consequences of her actions Living for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction The days go by and her belly gets big The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid Knowing her mama will blow it all outta proportion Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion Erica is stuck up in the world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack She say she's about to run away and never come back.
[Outro - Ludacris:] Yea, I can only image what you're going through ladies, Sometimes I feel like running away myself, So do me a favor right now and close your eyes, And picture us running away together, when we come back everything is gonna be okay, Open your eyes...
