Lyrics to Give Yourself Some Slack

Sometimes life get you down
You make bad choices, but don’t let that make you frown
Put on rose colored glasses to get better look
You got to
Give youself some slack and get off the hook

Don’t bite off more than you can chew
I learned that lesson from my wise old pal Mr. Fu
Now I rate my men by their size in my little black book
You’ve gotta
Give yourself some slack and get off the hook

If we can do it then you can too
See, I’ve forgiven myself for taking part in all the fucked up shit that I put Charlie through
Whoa, yeah

Love and sex can make you bats
I screw this whole city
And I swim in a sea of cats
But now I don’t need to shake what I once shook
You gotta
Give yourself some slack and get off the hook

We’ve learned to look to our friends
We’re all bound to screw up and start hating ourselves again
But, with their help we’re in shape in half the time that it took
You’ve gotta
Give yourself some slack
Everybody now
Give yourself some slack
Oh lord
You gotta
Give yourself some slack and get off the hook

Lyrics to Despair by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Don’t despair, you’re there
From beginning to middle to end
Don’t despair, you’re there
Through my wasted days
You’re there through my wasted nights

Oh despair, you’ve always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all my lonely fears, no tears
Run through my fingers, tears
They’re stinging my eyes, no tears
If it’s all in my head there’s nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside

Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/yeah-yeah-yeahs-despair-lyrics.html ]
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun

Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days
You’re there through my wasted nights
You’re there through my wasted years
You’re there through my wasted life

You’ve always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all of my lonely fears
Run through my fingers, tears
They’re stinging my eyes, no tears
We’re all on the edge, there’s nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside

Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise

My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete Trailer

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete Trailer

During a sweltering summer in New York City, 14-year-old Mister’s hard-living mother is apprehended by the police, leaving the boy and nine-year-old Pete (Ethan Dizon) alone to forage for food while dodging child protective services and the destructive scenarios of the Brooklyn projects. The coming of age story follows two inner city youths as they fend for themselves. Faced with more than any child can be expected to bear, the resourceful Mister (Skylan Brooks) nevertheless feels he is an unstoppable force against seemingly unmovable obstacles. But what really keeps the pair in the survival game is much more Mister’s vulnerability than his larger-than-life attitude.

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete is a beautifully observed and tremendously moving film about salvation through friendship and the way transformation sometimes can happen just by holding on long enough. Director George Tillman, Jr. draws indelible performances from a fantastic cast, which includes Jennifer Hudson, Anthony Mackie, Jeffrey Wright, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Jordin Sparks, all led by Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon.
