A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form today is known as a residential garden, but the term garden has traditionally been a more general one. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoological gardens. Western gardens are almost universally based on plants, with garden often signifying a shortened form of botanical garden.
The etymology of the word refers to enclosure: it is from Middle English gardin, from Anglo-French gardin, jardin, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German gard, gart, an enclosure or compound, as in Stuttgart. See Grad (Slavic settlement) for more complete etymology. The words yard, court, and Latin hortus (meaning "garden," hence horticulture and orchard), are cognates—all referring to an enclosed space.
The term "garden" in British English refers to a small enclosed area of land, usually adjoining a building. This would be referred to as a yard in American English.
May Hashimoto (橋本芽生, Hashimoto Mei?), better known by her stage name May J., is a R&B and pop singer from Yokohama, Japan. Born to a mother of Iranian descent and to Japanese father, May J. made her major label debut under Sony Music Japan on July 12, 2006 with her first mini-album All My Girls.
May J. was born on June 20, 1988 in Yokohama, Japan. The "J" in her name comes from the common Persian girl's name "Jamileh," meaning 'beautiful'.
May J.'s Iranian mother refused to acknowledge her Persian roots due to perceived negativity towards Iranians in Japan and May J. grew up unable to speak the Persian language. Believing she was American, she discovered her true identity on a chance overhearing of a conversation between her mother and grandmother. During her formative middle school years she began listening to Iranian singers Googoosh and Afshin and has later said she hopes to debut in Iran.
At the age of 14, May J. was successful at a Sony Music Japan audition and soon signed onto Sony Music. While waiting to make her major label debut, May J. was a dancer for Aaron Carter's Japanese concert and was featured on the track Luyva: Another Episode from Sphere of Influence's album Big Deal, credited simply as May.

She walked into the garden
What has she found
Oh sorrow
Untold sorrow
There would be no groom
She left him as she
Found him
Empty inside
But this time it was
Much too late
Nothing to hide
Oh her soul
Never left the garden
Black ribbon
Long black gown
She's walking through
Her memory
She's so alone
white ribbon
wedding gown
she walked into the garden
what has she found
oh sorrow
untold sorrow
there would be no groom
she left him as she
found him
empty inside
but this time it was
much too late
nothing to hide
oh her soul
never left the garden
black ribbon
long black gown
she's walking through
her memory
she's so alone
Confused and contagious
Out of rages
Oh sinner, you're my saint
You say I'm a devil You always was to rot in hell
Oh baby no you aint
Come inside my Garden
It's your one way ticket into the Promised Land
Come inside my Garden
I've got your hand oh baby right here in my hand
Bite it
Bother your men
Up and Saint
I'm the original bitch always on your brain
In '75 I ran away
I'm still here and ready to play
White Magic Witch evil incarnate
Devil got your tongue, boy you love to hate
Come inside my Garden
It's your one way ticket into the Promised Land
Come inside my Garden
I've got your hand oh baby right here in my hand
I don't bite
Slithering through the fire
It's no secret your heart's full of desire
There's a bad moon rising and there's nothing you can do
Devil who cares Devil whos right
I dont care, just come, just come tonight
Come inside my Garden
It's your one way ticket into the Promised Land
Come inside my Garden
I've got your hand oh baby right here in my hand
rom the day my love began, I began to change
when I was just staring at you
you were always standing in that garden, looking lonely
as you stared at nothing but the scattering flowers
my unfulfilled wish made another wound in my aching heart
this reality bound up before my eyes still haunts me all the while
so that only the stifling atmosphere will
not forget me now
GARDEN wishing that someday I'll be able to meet you always
GARDEN in the midst of this passing season, forever... you will...
the sorrowfully withering flowers that have seen a thousand nights
in sepia your figure pictured
I want to forget, I don't want to forget, these contradictory feelings
subdued, I stand here all by myself
lonely, with only the snow to colour the scenery, but
still, always, so that I will not forget
I want to forget, I don't want to forget, these contradictory feelings
subdued, I stand here all by myself
time passes quickly, vanishing from reality, so that I will not forget
standing over my garden i look down
and disappointment overcomes me
the tears that formed are
now falling from my eyes
and watering the ground around me
lost inside this dissolution
i hear You say my name
i hear You calling
i hear You calling to me
i hear You calling
faith, like a flower, needs water and room to grow
placed in sunlight, not in shadow
hope that the seed that is
hidden will rise and bloom
from the heart of one forgiven
love runs in the Living Water
i've heard You say my name
In the cool of the day
You come and meet me
All the blue fades away
The stars are winking
Your love's so strong
I can't recall
What was this thing
They called the fall?
And You walk with me
You never leave
You're making my heart a garden
Oh, why would I hide
Away from Your face
When the light of Your love
Illuminates?
Your hand in mine
A steady line
Drawn on my heart
And deep in my mind
And You walk with me
You never leave
You're making my heart a garden
All the broken are mending
The mournful rejoicing
Seeing through tears
Of peace overflowing
And You walk with me
You never leave
You're making my heart a garden
Yeah, You walk with me
You never leave
Standing over my garden I look down
And disappointment overcomes me
The tears that formed are now falling from my eyes
And watering the ground around me
Lost inside this dissolution
I hear you say my name
I hear you calling
I hear you calling to me
I hear you calling
Faith, like a flower, needs water and room to grow
Placed in sunlight, not in shadow
Hope that the seed that is hidden will rise and bloom
From the heart of one forgiven
Love runs in the living water
I've heard you say my name
I hear you calling
I hear you calling to me
I hear you calling
I hear you calling
I hear you calling to me
I hear you call
I hear you calling
I hear you calling to me
I hear you calling
On the way near a truck stop
That's behind my evil haven
There is a garden, he is a garden
Are you mad yet? Can't connect it
When you try to do you know?
He is evil, you are mad
Are you mad yet?
Known a comfort, known a mia
Known a scary ancient feeling
He is a garden, he is a garden
Are you mad yet? Separate it
Do you know what they do?
When they say it feels like comfort
I can't find it, tried to run
But I'm the only one
Sedentary, lonely contact
No connection, fee or feeling
He is a garden, he is a garden
Scrap it all before summer
Kill the person that you fight with
Remain single there your strength is
Live for freedom not for struggle
He is a garden, he is a garden
Scrap it all before summer
Kill the person that you fight with
Remain single there your strength is
Won't you take this cup from me
'Cause fear has stolen all my sleep
If tomorrow means my death
I pray you'll save their souls with it
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
In this hour of doubts I see
But who I am is not just me
So give me strength to die myself
SO love can live to tell the tale
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
Father let my heart be...
For you
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the worlds I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
I lay my head upon your chest
Bones of iron bones of lead
And death is rattling the cage
Like a bird that would escape
But there's no room for thoughts like these
In the garden where we sleep
And I am on a burning ship
Clothes all flying in the wind
But I am beautiful like this
When you hold me in your hands
But there's no room for thoughts like these
In the garden where we sleep
Always searching for those breasts
Pumping morphine
Always searching for--
Don't you fly to them
Don't you fly to them
You can fly to me
I'll take the moment in my hands
Pull it open 'til it sings
Before the motion of this place
Where nothing stops to have a name
Come and take me I know your name
It's been the same, insane...
I'll wave to you goodbye
Come and save me I know your name
It's been the same a game
I'll play with you somehow
The answer to
The answer to my lonely questions
How?
Now kill
This nothingness you've left me
Here, I'll close my eyes
And the emptyness is still
With me and you
Now kill
This nothingness you've left me
Here, I close my eyes
And the emptyness is all
I feel and know
Come and take me I know your name
It's been the same, insane...
I'll wave to you goodbye
The answer to
The answer to my lonely questions
How?
Now kill
This nothingness you've left me
Here, I'll close my eyes
And the emptyness is still
With me and you
Now kill
This nothingness you've left me
Here, I close my eyes
And the emptyness is all
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
In it's corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark
Open the gate, it's the rigth time
Let the wind makes a ring the trees
Let the shadows move on the ways
I'm entering the tomb of tales
Here you find revived puppets
One of them is you
I'm coming to everyone like the trees and feelings
Here you find - maybe yourself
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
In it's corners
I walk through the garden
Touching rain like sparkling diamonds
Walking next to you
In the garden of innocence
Standing alone in the circle of insanity
The voices circle in your head
The next step leads you to the darkness
Oh please let me forget
Once there was a child in the garden
Her innocence so pure
Her ominous fragile soul
They are mine to keep
Standing alone in the circle of insanity
The voices circle in your head
The next step leads you to the darkness
Oh please let me forget
Protect your body against insanity
You will think it will not come
But before you know, you'll wish it wasn't me
Protect your body against insanity
You will think it will not come
But before you know, you'll wish it wasn't me
They circle in your head
So many words for me to
You know that you're a?
Someday, we'll be eyes in the garden
So many times we were the ones to reach the hallowed walls
Cause if you don't, they tie you up and pull you into fault
Aw man
Damn
Right back at 'em
Way better
Volume 3
[Verse 1:]
Way more smarter than my last tape
I get way more harder when that ass shake
With my shit in that
I get in that
With the thought in my head like I hope it lasts
Real young boy that's making cash
I'm realizing I can make a stack
For a rainy day when they coming back
We young niggas
We fresh swag
Got the whole world in the bag
Roof in the grass now the speakers on blast
Whole shit made it to the news stands
I grind hard in these new jeans
I never ever stop where the weather really hot
Where the homie ran the streets and that's why he got
shot
Used to bang on my nigga
That's life on the block
That's peer pressure for your ass
Girl, tell me how I can destroy your past
You growing up, didn't know no better
And I'm blowing up, my show got better
You create some shine you know what's next up
Streets start talking, name getting brought up
Hop on now cause the train ain't stopping
Used to try my hardest
Still wanna be an artist
Never was a rapper didn't wanna be trapped in
At school, no work, just a black pen
Composition pad where the kid wrote raps in
That's where I got sleeping in class
Never really dozed off but we dream so fast
Leave my past and stay in my dome
At the hotel I just stay in my room
Stuck in my zone
Answer my phone
Say I'm a catch my flight and I'm coming back home
[Chorus:]
Please don't let me go
I just wanna know
Told you not to leave
And I promise we will grow
Life is like a garden
Don't end where you started
Remind me of that feeling
When I wake up in the morning
[Verse 2:]
Take you out to eat
Bring out the freak
Can't tell you everything it's about to be
She know a young nigga stunting
Only dumb niggas fronting
Never run from the money
Give you a run for your money
Customized Greatly
Same young Casey
For a number pen
I'm about to cop everything
Enjoy wins and the things that life brings
She go to school & church, that's wifey
Young Veggies, Young Veggies
It's Young what? I'll say it again
You'll fall in love if you gave me a chance
Trying to make me a man but I already am
Love of the game
Don't put trust in the fame
Full of wack ass lames throwing salt in your name
That was just to let you know
Watch what you get into
Cause these fucking streets ain't what they cracked up
to be
Hate in my heart
Never been scared
Got another thing coming if you matching up with me
On my way to stardom
Never was about problems
So my cousin going to handle that ass for free
I shaded up and I got better
New whip
I dropped cheddar
That new joint
I'm going to met her
And I'm just ignoring my phone ringing like...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Let it go then let me know
If you find out what your mind about
Ain't nothing better than a brand new mindset
Plus a rolex and spot to spend time at
Buying that if you figure where your grind at
I speak about it a lot because I'm about that
In the back of the check she wasn't out here
Boy, I need your respect? I swear we don't care
Real come at your neck to get the whole spread
Break it down and inspect to get it whole sale
Got cash in my pocket at the hotel
Having fun living life like oh well
She got the arc in the back
So I know it ain't flat
Girl show me where it's at
So I can go on and attack
She inspire me
High off life, man
The hit of that irony worth a whole lifespan
Real young black nigga from the hood
Getting money from the white man
And my girl light skin
Lot of rappers say all that good music doubting
Then my whole city been holding me down proudly
Might press CD's and I'm outie
Bottle of Moscato and me and my girl about it
Whole world yours
Learned that on Illmatic
Swear I been had it
Just had to grab it
I'm a sinner
And I know it
But God made me feel so heroic
Niggas be talking
Never even show it
Got something to say?
Feel free
I'm open
Roll with my music
Taught a lot of niggas how to move quick
Since I made up my mind I'm gonna do it back in '06
Shout out to my niggas that are no longer here
That don't mean them dudes died
They just no longer here
Got to learn to do it for yourself
And no longer fear
All the negative shit that people throw in your ear
If I'm a do it I'm a be great
Just tell me if you relate
You punchline ass rappers represent the shit that we
hate
Cause everything I spit helped me cop new Prada
Got new flows and I got new money
Young'n on his shit
And my brother need a whip
And he had half of his
Here go $2200
Bro I got you
[Chorus]
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo
There is a garden, my brother started months ago
Though he prayed for harvest, it now lies over-grown
Cause he shuffled earth, but never sowed a seed
Only his doubts took root, they choked his faith like weeds
But when his nerves were turned he went to face those empty beds
And found the earth had given birth, despite his promises unkept
Oooo, Oooo
Oooo, Oooo
Brother Micah, feed the seeds he'd sown
And he prayed for mercy, for crops he knew would surely grow
But there's no way to hide the shame we plant at night
They may lie dormant, but blooms will always find the light
If there was only justice in this world, he would be alone
With his heart still left in parts that he could never hold
But now I ask you of his bride; friend do you see that rose?
She is the loveliest crop failure he will ever know
We plant, water and worry
But we don't have any control of the harvest itself
But oh, the messiah
He's not like us
His power is endless and he won't break his promise
And there is still a garden, sowed at the foundation
It's wrapped with redemption and spreading it's roots
Bless the storm for the rain, bless the Lord for the proof
That the harvest is soon
And I know that it's true
Cause I've seen the first fruits
banks coming down
they're taking all our hard earned pay
lord giveth, but he taketh away
i pay our debts
but works getting hard to find
these are hard times
i built this house
with my own two hands
now their gonna take it and five acres of land
and all of our children
are growing up way too fast
in these hard times
but wait, oh wait
see how the morning breaks
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take
and though we lose our stake
heaven is where we make it
even in the smallest places, can a garden grow
i took this job
in part as a sacrifice
for my unborn children and my beautiful wife
i always worked hard
on all of these sad estates
with no hard times
but wait, oh wait
see how the morning breaks
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take
and though we lose our stake
heaven is where we make it
even in the smallest places, can a garden grow
In the court of rose and lily,
I see your face appear.
And though the night is chilly,
I wait for you to be near.
The dreams and schemes of all mankind
Have all been laid to waste.
But in the garden you can find
A love we both can taste.
To see and believe I believe in you,
And all of the things you set out to do,
To think and to feel what you want me to,
And hoping our dreams will see us through.
The night is not forever,
The sun will rise again.
But when the night surrenders,
The morrow will be our friend.
To see and believe I believe in you,
And all of the things you set out to do,
To think and to feel what you want me to,
It's You and me alone God You and me alone
Here it's You and me alone God You and me alone
You've hedged me in with skin all around me
I'm a garden enclosed a locked garden
Life takes place behind the face.
So come into Your garden
Come into Your garden.
Here O Lord! Have I prepared a place for You!
I'm no longer my own I'm Your garden
I don't want to wasted my time living on the outside
I'm going to live from the inside out
I don't want to waste my life living on the outside
When will it end?
This looking for food
I scavenge the ground
and eat rotten fruit
that falls outside Your walls
When will I simply love You
and move into the garden?
What I refuse
You will use to surround me
I spit out Your seeds
and You grow all around me
even my poison flowers in You
When will I simply love you
and move into the garden?
When will it end?
You keep looking for food
I should be shrinking
to fit in Your palm
I should be rising
up to your lips
lucky for me
You scavenge the ground
