Latin Soul - Lyrics - Masterpiece Theatre - En Vogue

Title: Latin Soul
Album: Masterpiece Theatre
Artist: En Vogue
Composer(s): Thomas Mcelroy, Densil Foster, Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones

Lyric:
Me and my friends, we went out last night
To a small simple club on the nights
It didn't have much room, but hell they never do
Just chairs, a few tables and some food

A small cramped band started playing
And all the room was swaying
Soon I found myself dancing with a tall dark man
I was in a trance, a sort of romance
Between the rhythm and my soul, oh

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

After that night, my life had changed
I had no control and now I would behave
Every chance I got, I was at the club
Wining and dining like there was no tomorrow

Oh, oh, so free
Oh, oh, so me, yea, yea
Oh, oh, so lifting
And I don't want it to stop, no

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

If your life can't seem to get going
Hopelessness is showing
To your soul and to Latin
Get into the sounds of the rhythms beating out
'Cuz when your dancing, your spirit will be free, yea

Oh, oh, so free yea
Oh, oh, so me, yea, yea
Oh, oh, so uplifting, yea
And I don't want it to stop, no

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

Oh, I wake up in the morning
And it's all me, I can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my Latin love was oh, so strong

Even in the middle of romancing
Really love the rhythm when I'm dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the Latin soul

A Song For Assata - Lyrics - Common

Title: A Song For Assata
Artist: Common
Composer(s): Thomas Decarlo Burton, Rashid Lonnie Lynn, James Poyser

Lyric:
In the Spirit of God
In the Spirit of the Ancestors
In the Spirit of the Black Panthers
In the Spirit of Assata Shakur
We make this movement towards freedom
For all those who have been oppressed, and all those in the struggle
Yeah. yo, check it-

There were lights and sirens, gunshots firin
Cover your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot before she answered
One Panther lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryna hold on
To life. She thought she'd live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every word she got hit
'Who shot the trooper?' they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind raced till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her that's where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was buildin as they tried to destroy her
If it wasn't for this german nurse they woulda served her worse
I read this sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it, y'all

I'm thinkin' of Assata, yes
Listen to my Love, Assata, yes
Your Power and Pride is beautiful
May God bless your Soul

It seemed like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies cracklin, I see 'em when they takin her
Though she kinda knew
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middlesex Prison about six inna morning
Uneasy as they pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, facing hell
Put in the basement of a prison wit all males
And the smell of misery, seatless toilets and centipedes
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two years inna hole. Her soul grew weak
Away from people so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered frredom is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to mother the Revolution
And lactated to attack hate
Cause federal and state was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places that didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free, so dig it, people-

I'm thinkin' of Assata, yes
Listen to my Love, Assata, yes
Your Power and Pride is beautiful
May God bless your Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her grandmother would bring
News that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they needed them to mean
What made them real was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always came true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna shot the gun
It's time for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mother's side
Time for this Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the pain
How she broke out of prison I could never explain
And even to this day they try to get to her
But she's free with political asylum in Cuba

I'm thinkin' of Assata, yeah
Listen to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're molded from the same mud, Assata
We share the same Blood, Assata, yeah
Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful
May God bless your Soul
Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful
May God bless your Soul
Oooh

Freedom! You askin me about freedom. Askin me about freedom?
I'll be honest with you. I know a whole more about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been free
I can only share my vision with you of the future, about what freedom is
Uhh, the way I see it, freedom is-- is the right to grow, is the right to
Blossom
Freedom is -is the right to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you wanna be, to do what you wanna do

What Can I Do? - Lyrics - The Fix - Scarface

Title: What Can I Do?
Album: The Fix
Artist: Scarface
Composer(s): B Jordan, T Jones, K Price

Lyric:
Oh what can I do
What can I do
To make it better, yeah, yeah

I thank the Lord for every morning he allows me to rise
And though the sun is shining there's a cloud in the sky
Letting me know that at any moment there could be rain
And as beautiful as life is there still could be pain

Down the block I hear the sirens just-a screaming away
And then the inevitable happens the ending of days
Sad as it sounds, that's the price we've all got to pay
And the whole world knows the Lord give it and take it away

Live and I learn, I sit and watch my cigarette burn
Down to the ash, reminds me of the now and the past
I save me a prayer it's eventually I'll stand in the path
Of the souls on the dark roads that leads to the man

Do you hear them crying?
Waiting for someone
To come and dry these tears
Take away their fears

Another child is born bloody naked, clinging to life
Unaware of his surroundings or if breathing is right
In the arms of his mother as he looks in her eyes
He takes his first breath and he screams
The baby's alive

And at the same time another mother murders her kids
And the unbearable thought of this here just brings me to tears
It's hard enough we got to raise our kids to live in this world
So full of hate with no fate, and you're killing your pearls

And sometimes I got to sit it down and wonder myself
But then again I ain't Jesus and I couldn't help
But all I can do is hope I never live with the fact
That I hurt one of my seeds, 'cause dealing with that

Would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do in my time
I'd have to take my own life too and I couldn't climb
That stairway that you hear me sing about in my rhyme
And a parent hurting his kid ain't a sign of the time

I know there's truth in that statement we just living to die
But I believe if you live it right, you'll live in the sky
Looking down on the good and the bad, the world as a whole
Now hopefully you did what you did 'fore you had to go

Do you hear them crying?
Waiting for someone
To come and dry these tears
Take away their fears
Can I make it better?
Can I ease the pain
That they are going through?
What can I do? what can I do?

I say goodbye to you cruel world, I see peace in the red sky
I see the beast when the dead die, relief when my head's high
Hear the streets up ahead cry, when the heat from the lead fly
Felt the grief when I said bye, before the sheets on my bed dried

The turn of the table, the tale of the tape
The destruction of human flesh of the not so great
The long list of the John Doe's that accompany the spirit
As the yells of the souls lost with hopes that god hears it

The resurrections of empty hearts crowd in the room
Muffled sounds of the outside echo the tomb, but I'm cool

Do you hear me?
The crying

Do you hear them crying?
Waiting for someone
To come and dry these tears
Take away their fears
Can I make it better?
Can I ease the pain
That they are going through?
What can I do?

Do you hear them crying?
Waiting for someone
To come and dry their tears
Take away their fears
Can I make it better?
Can I ease the pain
That they are going through?
What can I do?

Goodbye To You - Lyrics - Spirit Room - Michelle Branch

Title: Goodbye To You
Album: Spirit Room
Artist: Michelle Branch
Composer(s): Michelle Branch

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears from behind my eyes but I do not cry
Counting the days pass me by

I've been searchin' deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old
It feels like I'm startin' all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closin' my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right, ahh

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And it hurts to want everything
And nothin' at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you but I'm not givin' in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

One thing that I tried to hold onto
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

Cradle Rock - Lyrics - Tical 2000 Judgementday - Method Man

Title: Cradle Rock
Album: Tical 2000 Judgementday
Artist: Method Man
Composer(s): R Dorsey, Elmer Franklin, Lisa Lopez, Clifford Smith

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
All the children come into the light

There will be
Rock a bye baby from the rooftop
When the guns blow your cradle gets hot
When the earth quakes and the sky starts to fall
Down will come emcees, fake shit an' all

On top I be the show shot, the bomb drops
After shot blow your bumba clock to smithereens
Time stop, flyin' guillotine comin' for your flock
What you mean you spilled the beans, ah?

Blacked out an' thought I seen pop lazer beam glock
What's a bird to a brother with a flock, wha'?
They got some nerve to even try and share the turd
On John J, flap a nigga gate with the wordplay
Hot Nik shoot you with the gift, it's your birthday

God hatin' ugly in the worst way fuck 'em like the earth say
From first day I survey the hassle
Death knockin' at your door in the Big Apple
Meth rotton to the core

Shackle in the sound castle, the dungeon with vermin
In the form of emcees determined to step foot on God soil
Not knowin' that these egg heads come hard boiled
And heavy handed, the aliens we just landed and you in the way
Overthrow these niggas, planet Independence day

Felons get split melons homicide
Buck niggas get the bug repellent, insecticide
Johnny 5 take it worldwide as long as I
Pledge negligence to the dark side, I'll never die

Who ya know with a flow like this? Bring 'em in
What clan you know blow like this? Bring 'em in
Take that nigga

There will be
The sound of gun burst put the foul in this dirt
(Foul in this dirt)
You can't fake plannin' from the mind control theory
(Mind control theory)

Murder in the first bring 'em back down to earth
(Back down to earth)
Y'all niggas don't hear me prepare for the worst
(Prepare for the worst)

Times gon' change, nottin' will remain the same
Million dollar broke niggas still fucked up in the game
Make me wanna choke niggas shittin' on my name
Tuck your chain when I approach, nigga, go against the grain now

Niggas stand in the rain now
Die Hard fan call me John John McClain now
Snake vs the crane style death to the enemy
Wu brother number one the centipede
Trouble some, send 'em all to kingdom come

Sun still shine one time for your crooked mind
Drunk off of cheap wine, son I'm into street crime
Every word, every line got choose very fine
Turn me loose on mankind, detonate the land mine
Funk gets me goin' now, never sell, never sold
Live by the code now never tell, never told

Darts I throw like Clyde with the finger roll
Clut shots an' what not this is where the buck stops
Still can't eat and y'all still can't sleep
I elect myself as presidential emcee
Wu-Tang killa bee, the bee high facility
In love with the blunt smoke even though it's killin' me

Bad vibes fillin' me with thoughts of conspiracy
White water scandals with Bill Clinton 'n' Hilary
Too hot to handle, well put together to dismantle
Fucker, you heard me? Fucker

There will be
Excuse me as I kiss the sky
Catch me when I fall son I'm too young to die
Me and Lefty that be the eye come test me
If you don't know me you never know me, boost the birdie

Rock a bye baby from the rooftop
When the guns blow your cradle gets rocked
When the earth quakes and the sky starts to fall
Down will come emcees, fake shit and all

Ayyo, I got 360 degrees of self
That's mind body and spirit, a 120 degrees a piece
We gon' break it down into simple terms
That's nine nigga nine, highest level of change

It's too many niggas sittin' on they ass
Waitin' for shit to just happen, shit don't just happen
Don't fuck around and miss the boat
If you take away the negative, make room for the positive
Thats addin' and subtractin' on the real

Niggas betta learn they math
'Cause if my calculations serve me correct
I'ma fuck around and have all this shit
I'm on yo' ass nigga, I'm on yo' ass

On The Border - Lyrics - Al Stewart

Title: On The Border
Artist: Al Stewart
Composer(s): Al Stewart

Lyric:
The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
And turns the rifles into silver, on the border

On my wall, the colors of the maps are running
From Africa, the winds, they talk of changes coming
The torches flare up in the night
The hand that sets the farms alight
Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border

In the village where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
Still you never see the change from day to day
No one notices the customs slip away

Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp-glow
I thought I saw down in the street
The spirit of the century
Telling us that we're all standing on the border

In the islands where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
It's just the patterns that remain, an empty shell
But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
And turns the rifles into silver, on the border
On the border, on the border, on the border

Man In The Moon - Lyrics - I Say I Say I Say - Erasure

Title: Man In The Moon
Album: I Say I Say I Say
Artist: Erasure
Composer(s): Vince Clarke, Andrew Bell

Lyric:
Stories from the deepest part of my heart
Delving under cause to wonder, why am I falling apart
Scattered all around this topsy turvy room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new found energy
So keep it within, delight as your garden grows

Whispered in some lonesome voice, too afraid to come out of the dark
Sinking down into the covers sleep to the beat of your heart
Spinning all around this most peculiar room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon

Do be kind and civilized
And don't descend into the dark abyss

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
(There's nothing there to be found)
And your will to survive's at an all time low
(Moon is shining)
The spirit will fly and return with a new found energy
(Keep your heart like a swan)
So keep it within, delight as your garden grows

Do be kind and civilized
And don't descend into the dark abyss

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
(There's nothing there to be found)
And your will to survive's at an all time low
(Moon is shining)
The spirit will fly and return with a new found energy
(Keep your heart like a swan)
So keep it within, delight as your garden grows

And the man up in the moon is shining
Good fortune down on me
And the man up in the moon is shining
Sweet love, sweet love

Rain - Lyrics - Mixtape Messiah 3 - Chamillionaire

Title: Rain
Album: Mixtape Messiah 3
Artist: Chamillionaire
Composer(s): Billy Cook, Khari Brad Jordan, Hakeem Seriki

Lyric:
I was sitting back and I was thinking man
I ain't even trying to deal with this shit no more you know
Cham' I don't know what to do yo, ya know
Seem like every time a nigga make one step man
Nigga take two steps back you feel me

They told me that pain was just in the frame, the irony of that
'Cause that was the slogan showing when they tried to see my tats
Never knew what was in the skin would finally be a fact
Feeling like mother nature's right behind me with a gat

Take that, the rain's loud on the window when it taps
To help with the time I thought that I could finally be relaxed
Tired of being po' yeah, trying to leave the rats
Walk out to see three of your tires that be on flat

And that one tire left a sign of hope
That helps you to keep on grinding when you kinda broke
That helps you to keep composure up around your folk
That keeps from trying to wrap a rope around your throat

Don't choke, you feeling like giving up
Life isn't a million bucks, you feeling like living sucks
God's telling you hear your boy but you don't wanna give Him trust
Mama telling you pay your tithes and you yell at her back for what

To the path took a ride fast to get some rims on his truck
I don't think that they'll miss ten percent of negative bucks
Put some Henny up in your cup your problems will start to drown
But soon as your buzz leaves then problems come back around damn

Keep your head up
Is what they telling me what it better be
Sorry but the world keeps stressing me
Rain drops round up the memories

It's gonna be alright is what they telling me
Don't let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me
Till my brain gets clouded by the memory

God knows, how I feel now
On the outside I'm smiling but inside a nigga know he hell bound
It's a dark road and I'm right here in the middle of it
Do I walk slow or if I run am I'm missing something

I took the time out to save a little bread
Now my eyes, got water in 'em
Why the fuck am I still standing here
Nobody love me I ain't happy here
My mama said, she can't handle him
But still, I'm looking at the bright side

But I view it through my other eye, 'cause it's a different color sky
Then the last one, my mind set on the prize that may never come
So do I try to stay alive or do I grab a gun

End it all, put a stop to the pain
That goes on in my head every time it rains
The Devil speaking so you listening to the thoughts
Of an evil spirit in demonic verses and every time I talk

I'm confused by my psychological set backs
In the storm watching out through the wet cracks
Looking for heaven off in all the wrong places
I've given up so all long faces, let it rain

Well keep your head up
Is what they telling me what it better be
Sorry but the world keeps stressing me
Rain drops round up the memories

It's gonna be alright is what they telling me
Don't let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me
Till my brain gets clouded by the memory

Your bills keep adding up to be alone you prefer
Bill collectors steady calling, starting to get on your nerves
Your rent due on the first but right now it's the third
Telling yourself it's gon' get better but ain't believing a word

Feel like it's hard to deal, tomorrow it's hard as steel
Not to mention the realest member of your family is getting ill
Tell me it isn't so, tell me it isn't real
In the mist of all the drama you take a lil' time to kneel

To deal you take a pill, just to deal with the drama
You thinking your life sinking and there isn't a plumber
They tell you what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
You'd have to be a Superman to lift as much as me partna

Could tell you stay strong
You're trying, but help is just what you doubting
'Cause the room is a monsoon, that's never gon' get to drying
The storm is moving on and you thinking these people lying
They saying they had it worse but how come they all keep on smiling

Well keep your head up
Is what they telling me what it better be
Sorry but the world keeps stressing me
Rain drops round up the memories

It's gonna be alright is what they telling me
Don't let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me
Till my brain gets clouded by the memory

Don't let stress take control, gonna be alright I know
I'ma make it through fa sho, fa sho yeah
Don't let stress take control, gonna be alright I know
I'ma make it through fa sho, fa sho yeah

Keep your head up
Is what they telling me what it better be
Sorry but the world keeps stressing me
Rain drops round up the memories

It's gonna be alright is what they telling me
Don't let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me
Till my brain gets clouded by the memory

My memory, hey yeah
Stressing me, stressing me my memories
That's what they telling me
I'm trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me
By my memories, yeah, yeah

When it seems like nothing but dark clouds
Are raining in on your bright sunny day
Remember the sunlight always comes after the rain
You should be thankful everyday, should be a celebration, of life

Tang Clan - Life Changes - Lyrics - The 8 Diagrams - Wu

Title: Tang Clan - Life Changes
Album: The 8 Diagrams
Artist: Wu
Composer(s): Lamont Herbert Dozier, Daphne Anne Dumas, Corey Todd Woods, Robert F Diggs, Clifford Smith, Brian Holland, Jason Hunter, Elgin Evander Turner, Gary E Grice

Lyric:
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Peace to the God, pour out a little liquor
'Shame On A Nigga', I heard the reaper done came to get ya
So I done copped a fifth of Vodka and in your honor
I've grown this fetish for loose ladies and baby mommas

Some say it's bad karma, what you do, man, it come back on ya
Music got us up off them crack corners
Now I'ma swallow this whole bottle for Ol' Dirty
Damn, it's hurts me, I hate it when brother's go early

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Word to my son, he gon' remember you, rubbing on a statue
In his lab, that resemble you, and what it meant to Wu
Us forming like a family, you just blew
You was the chess piece on the board, that made us look true

Watching your pen swish, you love frying king fish
You the pearl in the ocean, I'm up on the land, pissed
Now you moving more prestigious, me, hitting this reefer
I know it's real, guess I slept with the Black Jesus

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

I became weak when I heard, that his body expired
It was hard for me to believe my brother retired
Suddenly the clock stopped and the room started spinning
How can he walk off the field during the first inning?

I cried like a baby on the way to his place of death
Hate not being there, the minutes before he left
Now I'm in the booth, ten feet from where he lay dead
I think about him on this song and what he might've said

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

When I first heard the word, I needed air to clear my head
I know you didn't say what I thought you said, my brother's dead
You crazy, another Dirty prank to get the family cranked
Y'all niggas shouldn't play like that, I know how you feel

Lord, but it's real, and I still can't believe
And my heart still grieves the loss, there's no pretending
Ason Unique, loved wine and fine women
We singing on tour, "Ooh baby, we like it raw"

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

I popped a bottle on your born day, God
Tried hard not to cry, I still can't hide the scar
And I still ask, why to God, analyzing your form
As I stood there beside your mom

And I share the blame, 'cuz you was calling for help, kid
Should've, could've, would've, had the time, I was selfish
I carry on your struggle, each day it really hurts me
I really miss you Russell, hope you forgive me Dirty

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

These walls I wanna crash and put my fists through
Shout out to Dirty, let the whole world miss you
Reach out and kiss you in your coffin, my heart races
I dropped tears and watch my nigga fall from greatness

It's all wasted, flushed down the drain and
Soon as the news hit me, I bust out with pain and
Rivers I cried, my brother just died
I'ma see you, my nigga, on the other side

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Ah, man, how do I say goodbye?
It's always the good ones that have to die
It's hard to live without you, God, I shouldn't have doubt You
When You said that The Passion of Christ was all about You

From the God Mobile, to Linden Plaza, to Brownsville
Florida to Ohio, to Putnam, to Park Hill
You interrupt the Grammy's said, "Wu for the kids"
Took four or five shots when they rushed in the crib

Trey-five-seven cracked ya ribs, cops shot ya whip
You've been chased by the pigs, sold the four year bid
Crashed cars, still came out without a scar
They tried to keep ya free spirit trapped in a jar

So you'll keep ya mouth shut and not tell the world
Who's who and what's what and probably go nuts
How we treat them hoes? How we treat them hoes?
[Incomprehensible] Dirt

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
But those mistakes behind me
Cast shadows to remind me

Tent In The Center Of Town (Live) - Lyrics - Sara Groves

Title: Tent In The Center Of Town (Live)
Artist: Sara Groves
Composer(s): Sara Lee Groves

Lyric:
There's a tent in the center of town
And the people are losing their frowns
'Cause they think they'll go there and see lions and bears
In the tent in the center of town

But it's all about the winning of souls
Say the signs on the telephone poles
They say if you are blue, Jesus is calling you
To the tent in the center of town

And the preacher is preaching his best
And he barely takes time for a breath
And their hearts are complete in the bearable heat
In the tent in the center of town

And the gentlemen, all give up their seats
To the women who've been on their feet
'Cause it's standing room only when the Holy of Holies
Blesses the center of town

There's a tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of the good news crusade
In a tent in the center of town

And they say they're drawn in by the stripes on the awning
And the beautiful music inside
But they're drawn by the Spirit that's pouring down
On the tent in the center of town

And revival hits like a wave
And hundreds are joyously saved
And the thief and adulterer lay it all on the altar
'Cause there's grace in the center of town

In this tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of the good news crusade
In a tent in the center of town

And the time has come to move on
To the next hurting throng
And they hope as they tear it apart
The tent will live on in their hearts

I once was lost but now I'm found
Because of a tent in the center of town
A tent in the center of town
A tent in the center of town

54 - Lyrics - Smut Peddlers

Title: 54
Artist: Smut Peddlers
Composer(s): Berger Milo Jason Meltzer Erik

Lyric:
Kill that cat, watch me kill that cat
If it's your girl, I'm lookin' at
Then watch me kill that cat

I hunt cunts like these, with underground disease
In they yearly matin' spots, spawn a million MC's
They used to go to shows, drink dance get high
Then you click the mic the whole audience wanna rhyme

In '92 I let the Cage outta Alex
Through college radio demonstrate the fist, fuck the love ballads
Summon demons in my ad libs, fun triplin'
Vomit good shit, go feed off dead Christians

Red light in the Lincoln, from drinkin' Drencrom
The corpse in my eye can explain the thinkin'
While I lay behind a wall of flesh, engulfed by the homeless
If I escape, I might evaporate my whole state

Plus when Cage ripped in half on the concrete
Screamin', "That's my spirit running down the street"
The undead, writin' in gun lead
Liposuct' a fat bitch out her box with one hypo' jab

Inject tiger serum, I can't hear 'em, who?
Alex with the fuckin' loaded thirty-oh-two, 'cause

This is for the whores, and the kicked over stores
And fifty-four dollars in my pocket on tour
This is for the kid that said, "Oh, you dead"
And the fifty-four stitches that he caught in his head

This is for the clowns, I beat with no hands
And the two O-Z's, down to fifty-four grams
With two to the face, I'm a basket face
With fifty-four seconds to outer space

I love a bull mastiff ground up, make a pound up
With green Jesus, get in I'll drive you to seizures
Humanoid pause, before God, with cyborg dogs after me
Killin' these rhymin' Sigmund Freuds for the cause

Your whole life's a waitin' room for worms
Strangest occurs, you see Venus in furs
With toast out facin' Earth, avenge my sixteen
Your old shell talk to pistols like Starscream

My whole story lost on a wall in black marker
66 more flicks for Clive Barker
With a little message, for real research kids
Can you guess who the faggot DJ is?

My anti-commercial style will curse you
Say fuck so much, my airplay's like curfew
To third shift farm chemists, the senate scarred
Start killin' all the livin' like the Serbian guards

You supportin' communism buyin' majors so dub
Watch me put two rocks in Kurt Loder head, whassup

This is for the whores, and the kicked over stores
And fifty-four dollars in my pocket on tour
This is for the kid that said, "Oh, you dead"
And the fifty-four stitches that he caught in his head

This is for the clowns, I beat with no hands
And the two O-Z's, down to fifty-four grams
With two to the face, I'm a basket face
With fifty-four seconds to outer space

The undead, red light in the Lincoln
For Cage, ripped, in half on the concrete
Screamin', "That's my spirit runnin' down the street"
Runnin' down the street, runnin down, running down the street

Around The World - Lyrics - Aquarius - Aqua

Title: Around The World
Album: Aquarius
Artist: Aqua
Composer(s): Soren Rasted, Claus Norreen

Lyric:
I've been around the world, hey, hey
I've been around the world, hey, hey

In the kitchen where I'm cooking what is good for me
Spices from the globe
Little by little is the finest meal
It's half the type for hope, come and see

You mix it all together in your dreams
Ingredients from the seven sees
And I, I'm realizing things ain't what they seem
That's the riddle of it, that's the spirit of it, that's the power of life

I've been around the world and I've seen it all
I've been around the world, 'cause the wind will always rise or fall
I've been around the world and I wanted to see
I've been the only girl all surrounded by mystery

In the living room I'm cleaning up from top to floor
Place I love the most
Wall is covered up with all my souvenirs
I got from coast to coast, come and see

You mix it all together in your dreams
Ingredients from the seven sees
And I, I'm realizing things ain't what they seem
That's the riddle of it, that's the spirit of it, that's the power of life

I've been around the world and I seen it all
I've been around the world, 'cause the wind will always rise or fall
I've been around the world and I wanted to see
I've been the only girl all surrounded by mystery

I'm still coming around
I keep chasing dreams
Girl I keep coming around
Hey hey

I keep coming around
And I can never stop
Girl I keep coming around
'Cause if I do a lot
Around around
Around the world

I've been around the world, hey hey
I've been around the world all surrounded by mystery
I've been around the world and I've seen it all
I've been around the world, sun will always rice and fall

House Of Hits - Lyrics - Hip-Hop Lives - Krs One

Title: House Of Hits
Album: Hip-Hop Lives
Artist: Krs One
Composer(s): Marlon Williams, Lawrence Kris Parker

Lyric:
Yes, yeah, it's chief rocker, Busy Bee
Y'all don't know what time it is right now
I got my main man Marley Marl
My motherfuckin' main man, KRS-One the teacher
We gettin' ready to do a little history in here
Y'all don't know what time it is
History is in the makin', work it out

Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

I said, "Where's that place we work it out?"
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

And when it's time to work it out
We take 'em straight down to the house
And blow some, that jingle-jang, jingle
Yeah, chief rocker, Busy Bee

Check my lingo, check what Busy Bee brings you
Check out the lyrics I sing you
I fly through the hood like chicken wings do
Like a chef Marley likes mixin' things too

We came together just to change the weather
Busy Bee, he made this game remember?
These unoriginal rap flows, I don't speak those
Too many rappers just copy like Kinko's

Dressin' like they from office depot
Tryin' to be CEO's with whack weak flows
I teach those that flow how to be better
I train MC's to gain in any endeavor

But if you tryin' to diss, you'll get dismissed from the class
In other words, I'm kickin' yo' ass
Beats, bars and breaks, really that's it
And you get that sound at the House of Hits

Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

I said, "Where's that place we work it out?"
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

And when it's time to work it out
We take 'em straight down to the house
And blow some, that jingle-jang, jingle

Yo, look, look
KRS reportin' from the House of Hits kids
'Cause in the future you gonna doubt it existed
Comin' up the block your whole spirit gets lifted
The whole spot designed for the lyrically gifted

You walk in the spot, you walk in the history
This is where the greatest MC's spit it lyrically
I don't think you hearin' me today
Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, LL Cool J
Kool G. Rap, Roxanne Shante
Craig G, man, what else can I say?

The home of hits, where one spits and records
In the other room we live on the broadcast boards
The internet's hooked up with all these cords
And the outboard gear man you can't afford
You can rest assured we comin' out with it
KRS, Busy Bee at the House of Hits

Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
I said, "Where's that place we work it out?"
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

I said, "Where's that place we work it out?"
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out
Where's that place we work it out?
Hey, the House of Hits, we work it out

And when it's time to work it out
We take 'em straight down to the house
And blow some, that jingle-jang, jingle

And ba bah-ba bah-ba-da-dang-a-dang-diggy-diggy
Ba bah-ba bah-baba-da-dang-a-dang-diggy-diggy
Ba bah-ba bah-baba-da-dang-a-dang-diggy-diggy
Ba bah-ba bah-baba-da-dang-a-dang-diggy-diggy

Here With Me - Lyrics - Spirit Room - Michelle Branch

Title: Here With Me

Artist: Michelle Branch
Composer(s): John Shanks, Michelle Branch

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
It's been a long, long time
Since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind
Now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone
Things will never be the same again

There's not a minute that goes by
Every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away
Well, I'm not the same girl
You used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed

I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud
When all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly
Just to be a part
Of something strong and true
But I was scared and left it all behind

I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me

And I'm asking a on ah
And I'm wanting you
To come back to me please

I never will forget that look
Upon your face
How you turned away
And left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you

I know you had to go away
(Alright, I know you had to go away)
I died just a little, and I feel it now
(Ohh)
You're the one I need
(Ohh ohh)
I believe that I would cry just a little
(Just to have)
Just to have you back now
(Ohh ohh)
Here with me

I know you had to go away
(Alright, I know you had to go away)
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
(The one I need)
I believe that I would cry just a little
(Cry just a little)
Just to have you back now
Here with me

Here with me
Here with me

Artist: Michelle Branch
Composer(s): Michelle Branch

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I cannot help it, I couldn't stop it if I tryin'
The same old heart beat fills the emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain
'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me goin' on?

'Cause when there's you
I feel whole
And there's no better feelin' in the world
But without you
I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you

Turn out the lights now to see is to believe
I just want you near me, I just want you here with me
And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do, what?

'Cause when there's you
(When there's you)
I feel whole
(I feel whole)
And there's no better feelin' in the world
But without you
(Without you)
I'm alone
(I'm alone)
And I'd rather be in love with you

And I feel you holdin' meee, eee yea
Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved, ohh loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough, to be loved
And I feel you holdin' meee, eee yea
Ohh ooo yea, ohh

When there's you
(When there's you)
I feel whole
(I feel whole)
I feel whole
(No)
And there's no better feelin' in the world
(Without you)
Without you
(I'm alone)
Alone
(Rather)
And I'd rather be in love

When there's you
(When there's you)
I feel whole
(I feel whole)
And there's no better feelin' world
There's no better feelin' in the world
Hey hey no
And I'd rather be in love
Just I'd rather be in love
Ohh I'd rather be in love with you

And I feel you holding meee, eee yea
Ohh ohh yea

Proud To Be A Dread - Lyrics - Supernatural - Des'Ree

Title: Proud To Be A Dread
Album: Supernatural
Artist: Des'Ree
Composer(s): Michael Graves, Des'Ree Weekes

Lyric:
Tafari tries to get a job
Ten letters behind his name
Born up in the cornfields
Tafari doesn't know the game
The game is no respect for life
Even less for rules
Winners only need apply
Sorry no rooms for fools

Tafari, looks up to the stars and
Wonders if there's life on Mars
Some say, he should shave his head
But he's proud to be a dread

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the Wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

Selassie, tries to find a home
To rest his weary head
A place where he can take his girl
To share this spiritual bed
When he's greeted at the door
The sign has changed his tune
Though the queen is full of child
Sorry, there's no room

Selassie looks up to the clouds
He curses hard and shouts out loud
Remembering his father's words
A whisper from the dead

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

'Cos in this life, you have to take a chance
Why else live at all
'Cos in this life, to climb a mountain
Sometimes expect to fall
'Cos in this life nothing comes easy
If it does, it has a price
'Cos in this life a martyr suffers
Look at Jesus Christ

Leo, faces many trials
But hold hid head up high
He won't allow the hatred
To Make his spirit cry
Leo looks up to the moon
Sitting in its silver spoon
Maybe I should change my job
Be an astronaut instead

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I'll be a seeker
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
In my dealings I'll be honest
To myself I make this promise

Fire On The Water - Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Title: Fire On The Water
Artist: Chris De Burgh
Composer(s): Chris De Burgh

Lyric:
When I touch you I can feel you shivering
I can feel your heart is beating fast
We are alone in this crowded room

Oh, tonight there is something happening
And it's something that should never be
But there's a flame over you and me

And I can see the fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun

There's a place in an ancient fortress
High above the worries of the world
I'd love you there for a long, long time

And we'll discover all our deepest secrets
And let the spirit go flying free
Until the dawn breaks over the sea

It's burning like fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Oh, let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Oh, let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water
Can't stop it now

And I can see the fire on the water
