1.Twice the First Time
Lyricist:Marcus Jengkens, Saul Williams
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
I will not rhyme over tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
Don't drop the beat on me, don't drop the beat no, ah
I am not the son of sha-klak klak, I am before that, I am before
I am before, before, before, death is eternity after death is
eternity
There is no death, there's only eternity
And I be ridin' on the wings of eternity like
Sha-klak klak, get me the fuck off this track
As if the heart beat wasn't enough
They got us using drum machines now
The hums of the machines
Tryin' to make our drums humdrums
Tryin to move our magic
Instruments be political prisoners up inside computers
As if the heart were not enough
As if the heart were not enough
And as heart beats bring percussions, fallen trees bring
reprocussions
Cities play upon our souls like broken drums
Redrum the essence of creation from city slums
But city slums mute our drums and our drums become humdrums
'Cause city slums have never been where our drums are from
Just the place where our daughters and sons become
Offbeat heartbeats slaves to city streets
And hearts get broken and heartbeats stop, broken heartbeats
Become breakbeats for niggas to rhyme on top, but
I won't rhyme on top no tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
I won't rhyme over tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, no
Not until you've listen to Rakim on a rocky mountain top
Have you heard hip hop, extract the urban element that created
it
And let a open wide country side illustrate it
Riding in a freight train in the freezing rain, listening to
Coltrane
My reality went insane and I think I saw Jesus
He was playing hopscotch with Betty Carter
Who was cursing him out in a scat like gibberish
For not saying, 'butterfingers''
And my fingers run through grains of sand
Like seeds of time the pains of man
The frames of mind which built these frames
Which is the structure of my urban superstructure
The trains and planes can corrupt and obstruct your planes of
thought
So you that forget how to walk through the woods
Which ain't good 'cause you ain't never walked through the trees
Listenin' to nobody, beats the biz and you ain't never heard hip
hop
And you must stop that damn track from going
Please don't drop the beat, don't drop the beat, no, and
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
Used to do that, huh, way back
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, no
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, heartbeat
My heartbeat goes on and on and on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
2.Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Live Version)
Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Dave Fridmann, Michael Ivins
Her name is Yoshimi
She's a black belt in karate
Working for the city
She has to discipline her body
'Cause she knows that
It's demanding to defeat
Those evil machines
I know she can beat them
Oh, Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me
Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Those evil natured robots
They're programmed to destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins
'Cause she knows that
It'd be tragic
If those evil robots win
I know, she can beat them
Oh, Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me
Yoshimi
And your violin
You won't let those
Robots defeat me
Yoshimi
3.I Fell in Love Again Last Night
Lyricist:Paul Overstreet, Thom Schuyler
I fell in love again last night
You keep doing everything just right
You got me wrapped around your fingers
And every morning the love still lingers
I fell in love again last night
When you kissed me, the way you've always done
Like the first time you were with me
And my heart just came undone
Lying here this morning
Boy I know your still the one
I fell in love again last night
You keep doing everything just right
You're the reason my heart keeps beating
And every morning it keeps repeating
I fell in love again last night
We were talking, about some future plans
And how far we've come together
Since the night it all began
Then you reached out to touch me
And guess what happened then ?
I fell in love again last night
You keep doing everything just right
You're the reason my heart keeps beating
And every morning it keeps repeating
I fell in love again last night
In love again last night
I fell in love again last night

Lookin' out on the mornin' rain

Life was so unkind
Your love was the key
To my peace of mind

'Cause if I make you happy
I don't need to do more

8.Call It What U Want
Lyricist:Peter Bishop, Ron Brooks, George Clinton, William Earl
Collins, Arthur Goodman, Kevin Gulley, Gregory F Hutchison,
Dwayne Mcknight, Tupac Amaru Shakur, Bernard G Worrell
You've now entered the quest to the black triangle
Now, you know the reason for the Black Mafia theory, hahaha
Yes, it has many meanings, but no matter how you define it
It still comes out black, see, it's just a hair trim
So, you can call it what you want
Now, I clown around, when I hang around, with the underground
But, when I'm with the Mafia we droppin' ya
And, if you're a hoe, then I'll be knockin' ya, baby why not
You shouldn't jock me 'cause, I'm popular
The group with the glock, I love to pop the gun
Coppers get shot, they shouldn't try to stop the Mafia
2 Pac'll pack a person, pump the trunk
I'm bumpin' G Funk, but you can call it what you want
How many times I gotta tell ya, don't ignore me?
Either be my hoe or hit the do', you're nothin' for me, see ya
That's why, I love to go on tour G
Scores of whores behind the door, a nigga's naughty
Now, I'm sippin' on a forty, so you can call it what you want
Just pass the blunt and kick it Money
Well, I am the danger, the danger, similar to a killer
I rhyme for rounds of conflicts chomp and stomp 'em
While y'all chillin' in Tokyo
Check it as I choke a slow poke rapper, capped his ass faster
Than a half of pound of crepes'll go on Mother's Day
First and fifteenth, another way of sayin' it
I got new clips so trip but it's okay to get your crew
'Cause ooh' I'll send your team to the showers
They true and do and rippin' and got the Wonder Twin powers
I devour much venom, lunch breaks I shit em, I just stink
Whaddya think, this is a threat? Just forget about it
Come back, you're done black, see Cutty was the stopper
But you'll call me the Indo when I chop ya with the shopper
Sting ya with the stinger, flex the trigger finger
I blow you to bits and I be gettin' a kick
Out of grabbin' the mic and flingin'
Lyrics with the maximum security
I smoke a Spliff but I'm not Jamaican, so won't you let a
Yankee Doodle Doo what he hasta, raise my hand
And cast a hellafied spell, you can't tell you better ask a
Weatherman, he'll sigh and reply
'You shoulda stayed in the house'
'Cause, Mon is gonna rain on their parades
Now, clear the smoke, and grab a fool by his throat
And don't let him go, til he holla, holla billygoat
Now Money, Money, Money B, once said to me
'187 why you wanna be a G?' Well, I like to clock big G's
And hang out all night and never worry bout a bitch
'Cause she can't tell me shit
Plus, Money, Money is a pimp thang, what?
'Cause, see, if you was in my shoes, you'd be doin' the same
So, don't ever ever fuck with, I'm a G-er playa
'Cause, when I'm bustin' on a punk, I could never be a customer
Now peep this, 'cause when I'm goin' deep, the only customers
Gettin' served in the house, is the pussy I freak
They wanna pop that ying yang
I tell em, 'Sit down, shut up, bitch, and let me kick game'
y'know
'Cause, hoes always be sayin' they got it goin' on but if they
wanna
Get with a nigga like me, they gotta pay a fee
I am not the No Mack Nigga, from the planet called Silk
I'm from the planet Black Mafia Life, that freaks pimps
Yo, come take a sip of the psycho, mega
Pimpsome, hoesta, must be a playa
Now hold up, wait a second
Nah, I fucked you bitches on the last record, yo
It's like I'm high on a Ragamuffin Spliff
Me, the dope sound, what a man, the myth, come
Mon, they wanna see me fade shit, like I did last year
So I post on 'em, then I coast on 'em
No I never, never, never had a murder rap
And if you snitch you say
I did it you're bound to get your neck snapped
So there it is, and how it's gonna be
So I pass the joint, to my man K M G
Well, you can call it what you want, but if you don't
I'm still a nigga with a pimp strut, ooh, a Macadamia Nut
Ah, say what you want? I'm workin' for a cha oh
Well alright, you little silly ass hoe
Now, when you want to rhyme to boo and get tramped
Give a call to the clinic, ATL's the pimp camp
And see which playa, is up for the down stroke
'Cause you skeez in, 'cause you broke
So toast them hoes, like I said before
I fuck four bitches a day, and I'm lookin' for more
'Cause, cords of scores of hoes be leavin' my house
Like, bam, and I'm like, damn, now, my niggaz done labeled me
The dangerous neighborhood nastyman, 'cause they know I can
When you wake up in the morning, I only give ya five pushes
I'll be out by your garage, awaitin', behind the bushes
Drinkin' coffee, smoove waitin' to talk see
Like a true hoe, gigolo should be
See, I'm a giant and the rest of them are fakers
Especially, when it comes to the bitches and they moneymakers
A simp nigga hesitate to dish a tramp, but I don't
So ease back Mafioso on the corner, what you, want
9.Battle Hymn of the Republic
Lyricist:Oscar (arr) Brand, Tradtional
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are
stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on, His truth is marching
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on!
His truth is marching on! And on and on and on and on and on

Lyricist:Marv Johnson, Henry Williams
Thank you very much
Ladies and gentlemen
You know, we're mighty
Glad to be here today
And although we're
The stars of the show

Ain't all there is to it
Because behind every star
As behind every great man
There is a woman
And I want to tell you out there
That if you are a man
You've got a woman
And I think you should take
A little time out to salute that woman
And give that woman a
Great big round of applause

And as you walk around the stage of life
Don't it kind of make you feel proud

And you can rest assure, feel secure
She'll make you her only man
Give your baby a standing ovation
And she's sure to give a hand to you
Oh, give your baby a standing ovation
And she's sure to give a hand to you

And your world is full of gloom
She gives you strength and confidence
When she walks into the room
From the roar of a thousand voices
Comes a sound you've learned to know
When she calls your name
You can't feel no pain
You gotta smile and a standing, oh
Give your baby a standing ovation
And she's sure to give a hand to you
Oh, give your baby a standing ovation

Oh, stand up, yeah
13.The Old Rugged Cross
Lyricist:George Bennard
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners were slain
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it, the dark Calvary
That the old rugged cross I'll ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
14.Policy of Truth
Lyricist:Martin Gore
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
And now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
Deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
Delivering the proof
On the policy of truth
Never again, is what you swore
The time before
Never again, is what you swore
The time before, the time before
The time before, the time before
And now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
And hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
See the problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
This policy of truth
The policy of truth, the policy of truth
Never again, is what you swore
The time before, the time before
Never again, never again, is what you swore
15.The Yellow Rose of Texas
Lyricist:Don George, Traditional
There's a Yellow Rose in Texas that I am gonna see
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her we never more will part
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and starry skies are bright
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago
I promised to return and not to leave her so
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe
We'll do the things together, we did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forever more
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
16.Flash Light
Lyricist:George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell

Ooh, I just can't find a beat
Flash light, oh, I will never dance
Flash light, flashlight, flashlight

17.I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
Lyricist:Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, Michael
Way
Stay out of the light
Or the photograph that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you, alone?
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe
The kind of dirty where the water
Never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched by angels
Though I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe
I'd live this every day
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe
It ain't the money and it sure
As hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only go so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I tried
I tried
And we'll all dance alone
To the tune of your death
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
And never again and never again
They gave us two shots
To the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well, never again and never again
They gave us two shots
To the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well, I tried
One more night
One more night
Well, I'm laughin' out, cryin' out
Laughin' out loud
I tried, well, I tried
Well, I tried
'Cause I tried but I lied
I lied
I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll love again
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off
The sheets in my bed
And never again and never again
They gave us two shots
To the back of the head
And we're all dead now
18.Cemetery Drive
Lyricist:Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, Michael
Way
This night, walk the dead
In the solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
Way down, marks the grave
Where the search lights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss you, I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
Back home, off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrist
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying
If you want I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you, I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
I miss you, I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
When will I miss you?
When will I miss you so far?
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
Made it so hard
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down

Lyricist:Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, Michael
Way
Sister, I'm not much a poet
But a criminal and you never had a chance
Love it or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face but you do so carry on
And on and on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me
On and on and on and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like bleeding on the floor?
The floor, the floor
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you
One and one and one and one
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
So give me all your poison
(Fire at will)
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
(Fire at will)
And make me ill
You're running after something
(Fire at will)
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things
That you never ever told me
And all the smiles
That are ever, ever, ever
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms
She dies, she dies
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things
That you never ever told me
And all the smiles
That are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds
That are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts
That are never gonna catch me
If I fall, if I fall down
At the end of the world

21.You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison
Lyricist:Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, Michael
Way
In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant
They say, 'Come with your arms raised high'
Well, they're never gonna get me
And like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your faith in me
Your life will never be the same
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer
Say a prayer
Now but I can't and I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us
Well, I can't, well, I can
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cell mate's a killer, they made me do push-ups in drag
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself
Am I losing myself?
Well, I miss my mom, will they give me the chair
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare?
Ah, nobody knows all the trouble I've seen
Now but I can't and I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us
Well, I can't, well, I can
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again
To your room, what they ask of you
Will make you want to say, 'So long'
Well, I don't remember, why remember you?
Do you have the keys to the hotel?
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker
On fire, fire
Life is but a dream for the dead
And well I, I won't go down by myself
But I'll go down with my friends
Now, now, now, now
(I can't explain)
Now, now, now
(I can't complain)
Now, now, yeah, yeah
22.To the End
Lyricist:Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, Michael
Way
He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb
He's always choking from the stench and the fume
The wedding party, all collapsed in the room
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom
Let's go down, this elevator only goes up to ten
He's not around, he's always looking at men
Down by the pool, he doesn't have many friends
As they are face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens
If you marry me, would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye to the vows you take
Say goodbye to the life you make
Say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
She keeps a picture of the body she lends
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends
She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens
If you ever say never too late
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate
Lost in coma and covered in cake
Increase the medication, share the vows at the wake
If you marry me, would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye to the vows you take
Say goodbye to the life you make
Say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
And say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
Say goodbye to the vows you take
Say goodbye to the life you make
Say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
And say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
To the last parade, when the parties fade
And the choice you made to the end

Long ago
Just like the Hearse
You die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on
Just like a match
You strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst to take?
(Worst to take)
From every heart you break
(Heart you break)
And like a blade you stain
(Blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall
Brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take?
(Worst you take)
From every heart you break
(Heart you break)
And like a blade you stain
(Blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Well, if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Can you hear me? Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave
And then we'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Well, if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

25.Now You Know
Lyricist:Kara Dioguardi, Michelle Lewis, Charlton Pettus
In these eyes, more than words
More than anything that I've spoken
As the skies turn to gray
My heart's just about to crack open
So the story goes
There's something you should know
Before I walk away
And I blow the ending
I never want to be without you
Oh, no, here I go, now you know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no, there I go, no control
And I'm fallin'
So now you know
Feel so right, craving oxygen
All this truth's left me empty
When you run, can you handle it?
'Cause I need you to tell me
Maybe this is bold
But I'm hoping you will stay
For the happy ending
I never want to be without you
Oh, no, here I go, now you know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no, there I go, no control
And I'm fallin'
So now you know
No, I won't look back
When I tell you what I think about you
No, I won't look back
When I tell you what I think about you
So the story goes
Yeah, you already know
So don't be a fool
And go spoil the ending
I never want to be without you
Oh, no, here I go, now you know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no, there I go, no control
And I'm fallin'
So now you know
I never want to be without you
Oh, no, here I go, now you know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no, there I go, no control

Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
Don't you know you've got me mesmerized
With the beat I always fantasize
Don't stop the music 'cause it tends to soothe
I can tell you want to groove
Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
The beat keeps goin' 'round and 'round
Turns me upside down
I just wanna rock you all night long
I just wanna rock you all night long
I got a love song
Everything we do is right on time
The beat's so smooth it blows my mind
Don't stop the music, it's so satisfying
It feels so good to me, there is no denying
Just because it's two o'clock
Don't stop the music
Don't you feel like dancing and prancing
Don't stop the music
Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
You don't really wanna stop, no
You don't really wanna stop, uh uh
You don't really wanna stop, no

You've got me moving
You've got me grooving
Don't stop the music
Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
I just wanna rock you all night long
To my love song
I just wanna rock you all night long
To my love song, love song, love song, love song, love song
I can tell you wanna boogie
I can tell you wanna boogie
Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
Just because it's two o'clock

Just because it's two o'clock
Don't mean that we have to stop

A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come, Alabama

They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Lyricist:Richie Blackmore, Joe Lynn Turner
I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spellbound, there was someone calling
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down and I kept on falling
I've seen this place before
And you were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
There you stood, a distant memory
So good, like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Soemthing's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery
Do you remember me
On the street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are in every face I see
On the street of dreams
Soemthing's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery
Do you remember me
On the street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
On the street of dreams
I know you have always been
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
On the street of dreams
Do you know just what it means to be
On the street of dreams
Never know just who you'll see, do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be, oh no
On the street of dreams
I can hear you calling me
On the street of dreams
31.That Old Black Magic
Lyricist:Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
Same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire
For you're the lover I've waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Ooh in a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Oh, in a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Under the old black magic called love

Let's go
The needle on my record player has been wearing thin
This record has been playing since the day you've been with him
No more long rides home, no more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall?
Remember the time we realized 'Thriller' was our favorite song?
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone?
Have I waited too long to see you?
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone?
Have I waited too long to see you?
Maybe it's for the best, maybe it's not for anything
It wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me
No more long rides home, no more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall?
Remember the time we realized 'Thriller' was our favorite song?
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone?
Have I waited too long to see you?
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone?
Have I waited too long to see you?
How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
How many times I've tried
Blatant mistakes of your design
How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
Blatant mistakes of your design

Have I waited too long to see you
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone?
Have I waited too long to see you?

Lyricist:Martin Smith
Over the mountains and the sea, your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart and let the healer set me free
I'm happy to be in the truth and I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing of when your love came down
Over the mountains and the sea, your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart and let the healer set me free
I'm happy to be in the truth and I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing of when your love came down
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love
Oh, I feel like dancing, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy like we're dancing now
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I would sing of your love forever
I would sing of your love forever
I would sing of your love forever
I would sing of your love
Ooh, I'd sing, I'd sing, I'd sing, I'd sing to you, ohh
34.Gentle on My Mind
Lyricist:John Hartford
'Cause it's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
And it's not clinging' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or
forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Or I may dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
With my beard a rustlin', cold towel
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting on the back roads by the rivers of my
memories
Ever smiling', ever gentle on my mind, you're gentle on my mind

Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Roll another one

That one's just about burnt to the end
So come on and be a real friend
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me

37.Nightshift
Lyricist:Franne Golde, Dennis Lambert, Walter Orange
Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song his heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds and I still can hear him say
Aw, talk to me so you can see what's going on
Say you will sing your song's forevermore
Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night it's gonna be all right on the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Jackie, hey what you doing now
It seems like yesterday when we were working out
Jackie oh you set the world on fire
You came and gifted us, your love it lifted us higher and higher
Keep it up and we'll be there at your side
Oh say you will sing your songs forevermore
Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud oh I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night it's gonna be all right on the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night it's gonna be all right on the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Gonna miss your sweet voice that soulful voice on the nightshift
We all remember you, ooh, the songs are coming through
At the end of a long day it's gonna be okay on the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
38.Maybe It's Just Me
Lyricist:Butch Walker
Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow like a neon sign
And maybe we should be alone for ever after
'Cause even thought the nights are long at least I'll make it
another day
'Cause I can't live if you're not happy, I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And maybe things got weird after all that went down
The things were oh, so clear that I could never get the right
So tell me what your plans are and tell me what you're doing
The only thing I'll hold against me is a picture of you tonight
'Cause I can't live if you're not happy, I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise, and I can't wait for you to
shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time
For you to think things over
Time to talk the drama down
It's not a contest of who'll try harder
Or who'll cross the finish line
And I can't live if you're not happy, I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise, and I can't wait to see you
shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time
39.Mississippi Queen
Lyricist:Corky Laing, Felix Pappalardi, D Rey, Leslie West
Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg
Around Louisiana way
Lived a Cajun lady
Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes
Were gettin' their kicks
Boy I beg your pardon
I was getting mine
Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
This lady she asked me
If I would be her man
You know that I told her
I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes
Were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon
I was losing mine
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes
Were gettin' their kicks
Boy I beg your pardon
I was getting mine
Mississippi Queen
40.A Thousand Miles Away
Lyricist:William Henry Miller, James Sheppard
You're a thousand miles away
But I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
On my knees every day
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon
It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon
You're a thousand miles away
But I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
41.Doo Wop (That Thing)
Lyricist:Keith Diamond, Billy Ocean
Girls you know you better, watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
Remember when he told you he was about the Benjamin's?
You act like you ain't here him but gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you're really going to pretend
Like you wasn't down and you called him again?
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin' him
If you did it then, then you'd probably do it again
Talking out your neck, saying you're a Christian
A Muslim, sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who're you going to tell when the repercussions spin?
Showing off your ass because your thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it because I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just the minimum
Nigga's creepin' and you still defending him
Now, Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly been
It's silly when girls sell their souls because it's in
Look at what you be in, hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails up out Koreans
Come again
Yo, when when come again
When when come again
My friend come again
Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only, about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Tim's than his women
Him and his men, come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend, popping game
Let's stop pretend, the ones that pissed out by they waste men
Crystal by the case men, still the name of this basement
The pretty face men claiming that they be the big men
Need to take care of their three and four kids
But they face a court case when the child supports late
Money taking and heart breaking
Now you wonder why women hate men
The sleepy silent men, the punk domestic violence men
Quick to shoot the scene, stop acting like boys and be men
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?
Come again, yo yo come again
Bro straight, come again, sit straight, come again
Watch out, watch out, look out, look out
Watch out, watch out, look out, look out
Watch out, watch out, look out, look out
Watch out, watch out, look out, look out
Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
Guys you know you better watch out
'Cause girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
42.Heaven Is a Place On Earth
Lyricist:Rick Nowels, Ellen Shipley
Oh baby do you know that truth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
The say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
When the night falls down, I wait for you, and you come around
And the world's alive with the sound of kids on the street
outside
When you walk into the room you pull me close and we start to
move
And we're spinning with the stars above and lift me up in a wave
of love
Oh baby do you know that truth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
The say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone, I reach or you and you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea, I hear your voice and it carries me
In this world we're just beginning to understand the miracle of
living
Baby I was afraid before, I'm not afraid, anymore
Oh baby do you know that truth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
The say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
In this world we're just beginning to understand the miracle of
living
Baby I was afraid before but I'm not afraid, anymore
Oh baby do you know that truth?
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
The say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
Oh baby do you know that truth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
The say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Oh, heaven is a place on earth
43.Me and Mrs. Jones
Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Cary Grant Gilbert, Leon A Huff
Me and Mrs. Jones
We've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
We meet every day at the same cafe
6:30 I know, I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
We've gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so do I
Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We've got a thing going on
We've gotta be extra careful
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet and talk with you at the same place
The same cafe, the same time
And we're gonna hold hands like we used to
We're gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know, and you know and I know that it was wrong
But I'll make it strong
We've gotta let 'em know now
We've got a thing going on, a thing going on
44.Love Machine, Pt. 1
Lyricist:William Griffin, Warren Moore
Oh, yeah
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
I think it's high time you knew whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse
When I look in your eyes my meter starts to rise
And I become confused
My motor cranked electric goes
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
I'm gentle as a lamb I'm not that hard to program
There's no way that you can lose
Chassis fits like a glove I've got a button for love
That you've got to use
If you look into my power
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
Push it, push it baby, ah, ah
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A hugging kissing fiend
45.Barracuda
Lyricist:Michael Derosier, Roger Fisher, Anne Wilson, Nancy Wilson
So this ain't the end, I saw you again today
I have to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you Barracuda ?
Back over time we were all trying for free
You met with porpoise and me
No right no wrong, you're selling a song
A name, whisper game
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh Barracuda, oh yeah
'Sell me sell you'
The porpoise said
Dive down deep down, deeper than you
I think you got the blues too
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools
Silly, silly fools
And if the real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh Barracuda, yeah

But we can love oh, yes we can love
And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff

As the people turn to pray
From the mountains to the valleys

How glorious, how beautiful You are

50.Drink, Swear, Steal and Lie
Lyricist:Paula Carpenter, Michael Peterson
And I was twelve when daddy said to me
Don't take to drinkin' boy that road don't lead nowhere
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare
He told me stealing is a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay
So don't lie, then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey I've tried
But since I've met you girl I'm breakin' every rule
I must confess I'm just a backsliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup, swear I'll never give you
up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night I threw away your twelve step book
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
There's nothing more that I can do
Ain't no use
'Cause every time I see your angel face
My anger disappears without a trace
I swear, girl I admit I haven't got a prayer
But I don't care
Well I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup, swear I'll never give you
up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup, swear I'll never give you
up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal, lie
51.You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
Lyricist:Pino Donaggio, Simon - Engl Napier-bell, V Pallavicini, Vicki
- Engl Lyr Wickhan
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me
I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
Oh, you don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, oh, believe me
52.Easy Tonight
Lyricist:John Ondrasik
You were wrong, you were right
And you are gone tonight
You were free, so alive
You were wrong, you were right
And you were down, you could see
And you wore hearts for me
And you were sharp, sharp as knives
You were wrong, you were right
Shot down said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet but I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright, no it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright, no it's not easy tonight
You were bound, you were free
And you wear black for me
You were dark as dark as night
You were wrong, you were right
Shot down said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet, I'm going yet but I sure am
getting there
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright, no it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright no it's not easy tonight
She's in over my head
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight
She's in over my head
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright, no it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright

Lyricist:Nickolas Ashford, R Diggs, Valerie Simpson, C Smith
You're all I need to get by, ah
You're all I need to get by, ah
Shorty, I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin' make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin'
You made a brother feel like he was somethin'
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin'
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say, 'Baby, it'll be okay'
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my cootie away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a fat ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin' in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
You're all I need to get by, ah
You're all I need to get by, ah
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You are my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I got a love Jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone, I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around, you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin' your stuff off,
boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes, please
Be on another level of planning, of understanding
The bond between man and woman and child
The highest elevation 'cuz we above
All that romance crap, just show your love
You're all I need to get by, ah
You're all I need to get by, ah
You're all I need to get by, ah

Lyricist:Carlton Ridenhour, Eric Sadler, Hank Shocklee, Keith Shocklee
I got so much trouble on my mind
Refuse to lose here's your ticket
Hear the drummer get wicked
The crew to you to push the back to black
Attack so I sat and japped
Then slapped the mac
Now I'm ready to mic it
Hear my favoritism roll 'Oh'

Lazer, Anastasia, maze ya
Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
The way I'm livin', forgiven'
What I'm givin' up
X on the flex hear me now
I don't know about later
As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid
Man I've had it up to here
Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear
Rhetoric said read just a bit ago
Not quittin' though
Signed the hard rhymer
Work to keep from gettin' jerked
Changin' some ways
To way back in the better days
Raw metaphysically bold
Never followed a code
Still dropped the load
Never question,' What I am?' God knows
Cause it's comin' from the heart
What I got better get some
Hustler of culture snakebitten
Been spit in the face
But the rhymes keep fittin'
Respects been givin' how's ya livin'
Now I can't protect a paid off defect
Check the record
An reckon an intentional wreck
Played off as some intellect
Made the call, took the fall
Broke the laws
Not my fault that they're fallin' off
Known as fair square
Throughout my years
So I growl at the livin' foul
Black to the bone my home is your home
But welcome to the terrordome
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Subordinate terror kickin' off an era
Cold deliverin' pain
My ninety eight was eighty seven on a record yo
So now I go bronco
Crucifixion ain't no fiction
So called chosen frozen
Apology made to whoever pleases
Still they got me like Jesus
I rather sing, bring, think reminisce
'Bout a brother while I'm in sync
Every brother ain't a brother cause a color
Just as well could be undercover
Backstabbed, grabbed a flag
From the back of the lab
Told a rab get off the rag
Sad to say I got sold down the river
Still some quiver when I deliver
Never to say I never knew or have a clue
Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard
Lies, scandalizin', basin'
Traits of hate who's celebratin' wit Satan?
I rope a dope the evil with righteous
Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even
C'mon down
But welcome to the terrordome
Come on down
Come on down
Caught in the race against time
The pit and the pendulum
Check the rhythm and rhymes
While I'm bendin' 'em
Snakes blowin' up the lines of design
Tryin' to blind the science I'm sendin' 'em
How to fight the power cannot run and hide
But it shouldn't be suicide
In a game a fool without the rules
Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize
Every brother ain't a brother
'Cause a black hand
Squeezed on Malcom X the man
The shootin' of Huey Newton
From a hand of a nigger
Who pulled the trigger
Come on down
Come on down
It's weak to speak and blame somebody else
When you destroy yourself
First nothing's worse than a mother's pain
Of a son slain in Benson Hurst
Can't wait for the state to decide the fate
So this jam I dedicate
Places with the racist faces
An example of one of many cases
The Greek weekend speech I speak
From a lesson learned in Virginia
I don't smile in the line of fire
I go wildin' but it's on bass and drums even violins
Watcha do gitcha head ready
Instead of gettin' physically sweaty
When I get mad
I put it down on a pad
Give ya somethin' that cha
Never had controllin' fear of high rollin'
God bless your soul and keep livin'
Never allowed, kickin' it loud
Droppin' a bomb
Brain game intellectual Vietnam
Move as a team
Never move alone
But welcome to the terrordome
55.Your Precious Love
Lyricist:Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson
Every day there's something new
Honey, to keep me lovin' you
And with every passin' minute
Baby, so much joy wrapped up in it
Heaven must have sent you from above
Heaven must have sent your precious love
And I, I've got a song to sing
Tellin' the world about the joy you bring
And you gave me, you gave me a reason for livin'
And you taught me, you taught me the meaning of givin'
Heaven must have sent you from above
Heaven must have sent your precious love
To find a love like ours is rare these days
'Cause you've shown me happiness, yes, in so many ways
I look in the mirror, and I'm glad to see
Laughter in the eyes where tears used to be
What you've given me I could never return
'Cause there's so much, girl, I have yet to learn
And I wanna show, I wanna show my appreciation
'Cause when I found you, I found a new inspiration
Heaven must have sent you from above
Heaven must have sent your precious love
Heaven must have sent you from above
Heaven must have sent your precious love
Heaven must have sent you from above
Heaven must have sent your precious love

56.Oh, Pretty Woman (mono, CD only)
Lyricist:Bill Dees, Roy Orbison
Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?
Wow
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, gave your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come to me baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey
Okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait, what do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman
57.Halo of Gold
Lyricist:Alexander Lee Spence
Have you got a fine place to slip to
When you're feeling down
Have you had a week or two
Just to get your troubles down
Found a lot of life and laughter
With a grandfather in the Bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
She had a mind of forty
I met her on a cold day
In a city far away
With the worlds about zero
And I saw at once
Into her soul
She's gonna call me her hero
Never like a walk in the rain or the lane
I found a lot of death that day
With the grandfather in the Bowery
'Cause I like her like the world
She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life and the courage was sublime
Pantomime
I walk the line
'Cause you're blind
I walk the line
Have you got a fine place to slip to
When you're feeling down
Have you had a week or two
Just to get your troubles down
Found a lot of life and laughter
With a grandfather in the Bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
She had a mind of forty
With the worlds about zero
And I saw at once
Into her soul
She's gonna call me her hero
Never like a walk in the rain or the lane
I found a lot of death that day
With the grandfather in the Bowery
'Cause I like her like the world
She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life and the courage was sublime
Pantomime
I walk the line
'Cause you're blind
I walk the line
58.Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
Lyricist:Marvin Gaye
Mercy mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
My sweet Lord
My Lord, sweet Lord

60.Spent On Rainy Days
Lyricist:Britt Daniel, Conor Oberst
I wish I saved up for rainy days
'Cause they're the hardest to be dry
I got no self control
I'm always begging into telephones
And then I bought a little from my brother's friend
Well, just to get me by, I don't trust his cut
The effect is never as high
As the mark up
I think I'll print it in the personals
That I'm looking for a match
Someone to light me up
Someone to burn the proof
Of the things that I've done
Each day there are hours
I skip like a stone, I just crawl in a bag
I'm gonna live my life
Like somebody's shadow
I know I'm lazy with the little things
I mean I never held a door
But I still loved you more
Than anyone since or before
You are always saying that I owe you one
Well, let's consolidate this debt
Get on a payment plan, I'll pay you compliments
You can still treat me bad
But now it's easy, getting easier
To leave you and this town behind
I'll do some traveling
Once I'm gone tell all our friends you got even
I'm held like an object and then set aside
You know I'm back on the shelf
I'm locked in the drawer, I'm mint in the box
But you would still sell me for cost, wouldn't you?
I'll be anything, the cord of a parachute
I'll be anything, the blanket on top of you
I'll be anything, the window you are looking through
I'll be anything, the cord of a parachute
The cord of a parachute
61.Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Lyricist:Marc Byrd, Robert Robertson, John Wyeth
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious song it
Somebody pray me things above
Praise His name oh, fixed upon it
Name of God's redeeming love
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
62.Bring tha Noize
Lyricist:Joseph Bellardini, Frank Bello, Charles Benante, James Boxley
Iii, Carlton Ridenhour, Scott Ian Rosenfeld, Eric Sadler, Daniel
Spitz
Bass! How low can you go?
Death row what a brother knows
Once again, back is the incredible, rhyme animal
The incredible D. Public Enemy number one
Five-O said, 'Freeze' and I got numb
Can't I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
'Cause a brother like me said, 'Well
Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you
What you ought to do is follow for now, 'power' the people say
'Make a miracle D., pump the lyrical'
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
That the critics are blasting me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
Now across the country has us up for the war
We got to demonstrate, come on now
They're gonna have to wait 'til we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they play this
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock n' roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin' you call a band man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B, and L.L. as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Ever forever, universal, it will sell
Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Come on, come on
From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stan, my man, the beat's the same with a boast dose
Rock with some pizazz, it will last, why you ask?
Roll with the rock stars, you'll never get accepted as
We got to plead the fifth, we can investigate
Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor Terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you
Prima donna get wicked
Prima donna get wicked
Prima donna get wicked
...
63.Down at the Twist and Shout
Lyricist:Mary Chapin Carpenter
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the twist and shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
There's a Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the twist and thout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin' on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
But here up north it's a cold cold rain
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says, Beausoleil is coming into town
Baby let's go down
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the twist and shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock 'n roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the twist and thout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the twist and thout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
64.The Girl from Ipanema
Lyricist:Vinicius Demoraes, Norman (eng Lyr) Gimbel, Antonio Carlos
Jobim
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, 'Aah'
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, 'Aah'
Oh, but he watch her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smiles but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smile but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see and she doesn't see
65.Brass Monkey
Lyricist:Mike Diamond, Adam Horovitz, R Rubin, Adam Yauch
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie, that funky Monkey, brass
Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey here's how you feel
You put your left leg down, your right leg up
Tilt your head back let's finish the cup
M C A with the bottle, D rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet, we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go, we bring the Monkey with us
Adrock drinks three Mike D is D
Double R foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a castle in Brooklyn that's where I dwell
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie, that funky Monkey, brass
Because I drink it anytime and at anyplace
When it's time to get ill I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers, getting kind of funky
Me and the crew we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by, she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker, grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey, mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, yo baby, what's up
I offered her a sip, the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie, that funky Monkey, brass
Step up to the bar put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
You take a sip, you can do it, you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini, you're thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog' in a single gulp
And if you got beef, you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, Def, girls, girls, all y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record, I got my advance
I drink it, I think it, I see it, I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D it
We got the bottle you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get F
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey
66.Paul Revere
Lyricist:Adam Horovitz, D Mcdanials, R Rubin, J Simmons
Now here's a little story I've got to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history
With Adrock, M.C.A., and me Mike D
Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere
Just me and my horsy and a quart of beer
Riding across the land, kicking up sand
Sheriff's posse on my tail 'cause I'm in demand
One lonely Beastie I be
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beating down on my baseball hat
The air is gettin' hot the beer is getting flat
Lookin' for a girl I ran into a guy
His name is M.C.A., I said, 'Howdy' he said, 'Hi'
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed
Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst
The brew was in my hand and he was on my tip
His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry he asked me for a sip
He said, 'Can I get some?', I said, 'You can't get none'
Had a chance to run, he pulled out his shotgun
Quick on the draw I thought I'd be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said
'Now my name is M.C.A. I've got a license to kill
I think you know what time it is it's time to get ill
Now what do we have here an outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand I make myself clear'
We stepped into the wind he had a gun, I had a grin
You think this story's over but it's ready to begin
Now I got the gun you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It's not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me
I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border
The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this, I did it like that
I did it with a whiffle ball bat
So I'm on the run the cop's got my gun
And right about now it's time to have some fun
The King Adrock that is my name
And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne
We rode for six hours then we hit the spot
The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot
This dude was staring like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar
M.C.A. said, 'Yo, you know this kid?
I said, 'I didn't' but I know he did'
The kid said, 'Get ready cause this ain't funny
My name's Mike D and I'm about to get money'
Pulled out the jammy aimed it at the sky
He yelled, 'Stick 'em up' and let two fly
Hands went up and people hit the floor
He wasted two kids that ran for the door
'I'm Mike D and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect'
M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace
So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face
The piano player's out the music stopped
His boy had beef and he got dropped
Mike D grabbed the money M.C.A. snatched the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold
67.Twenty Five Miles
Lyricist:Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, Edwin Starr
Come on feet start moving
Got to get me there
Hey hey oh, yeah, oh
It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking a three days and two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh
I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms
Now when I kiss her lips
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin' hey
I got to walk on
I, I, I'm so tired
Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh, although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on let me tell you ya'll
I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got to walk on let me tell you ya'll
I see my baby just across the field
I got to walk on let me tell you ya'll
You got to take one more step

70.Moments to Remember
Lyricist:Robert Allen, Al Stillman
January to December
We'll have moments to remember
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
71.Since I Lost My Baby
Lyricist:Warren Moore, William Robinson
Sun is shining, there's plenty of light
(Oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
(Oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(Oh, since I lost my baby)
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(Oh, since I lost my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder
(Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her?
(Won't you please help me find her?)
Someone just remind her
(Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her
(Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta
(Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta, find her
Inclined ta, find her, inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere
(Baby)
Baby, I really, really care
Oh, determination is fading fast
(Oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past
(Oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby
(Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
(Oh, since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad
(Since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad
(Since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong this heart is hard to carry on
(Since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be
(Since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

73.Let's Chill
Lyricist:Bernard Belle, Teddy Riley, Raul Santiago, Keith Sweat
Sweetheart, I've been tryin' so hard to get over you, just
simply can't
â~Cause the love we shared through the years meant so much to
me
All I'm lookin' for is just a serious relationship
Someone I can hold all my life
Why don't you give me that commitment?
Let's settle down, let's chill, don't be afraid of me
I know I'm the one that is scared
But I promise everything will be alright
Come closer, let me talk to you
Let's chill
(Ho, ho, baby, hey, hey)
Let's chill
(Let's chill, baby)
From the first time I saw your face
Girl, I knew I had to have you
I wanted to wrap you with my warm embrace
Visions of your lovely face
All my love is for you
Whatever you want I will do
You're the only one I want in my life
For you I'll make that sacrifice, oh
Let's chill and let's settle down
(That's what I wanna)

(Let's chill, come here, baby)
That's what I wanna do
(That's all, that's all)
Just me and you
I'm so happy to have you here
Standing right by my side
Is it a dream or reality, if it's a fantasy
Please don't wake me
All my love is for you
Whatever you want I will do
You're the only one I want in my life
For you I'll make that sacrifice, so baby, let's
Let's chill and let's settle down
(Let's chill, settle down, baby)
That's what I wanna do

Just me and you

74.Rebel Without a Pause
Lyricist:James Henry Boxley Iii, Carlton Ridenhour, N Rogers, E
Sadler, H Shocklee
Brother and sisters
Brother and sisters
I don't know what
This world is coming to
Yes the rhythm the rebel
Without a pause I'm lowerin' my level
The hard rhymer where you never been I'm in
You want stylin' you know it's time again
D the enemy tellin' you to hear it
They praised the music this time they play the lyrics
Some say no to the album the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical, yes to make it critical
The only part your body should be partin' to
Panther power on the hour from the rebel to you
Radio, suckers never play me
On the mix, just okay me
Now known and grown when they're clocking my zone
It's known, snakin' and takin' everything that a brother owns
Hard, my calling card
Recorded and ordered, supporter of Chesimard
Loud and proud kickin' live next poet supreme
Loop a troop, bazooka, the scheme
Flavor, a rebel in his own mind, supporter of my rhyme
Designed to scatter a line of suckers who claim I do crime
Terminator X
Terminator X
Terminator X
Terminate
From a rebel it's final on black vinyl
Soul, rock and roll comin' like a rhino
Tables turn, suckers burn to learn
They can't disable the power of my label
Def Jam, tells you who I am
The enemy's public, they really give a damn
Strong Island, where I got 'em wild and
That's the reason they're claimin' that I'm violent
Never silent, no dope gettin' dumb nope
Claimin' where we get our rhythm from
Number one, we hit ya and we give ya some
No gun, and still never on the run
You wanna be an S.1, Griff will tell you when
And then you'll come again, you'll know what time it is
Impeach the president, pullin' out the ray, gun
Zap the next one, I could be you're Shogun
Suckers, don't last a minute
Soft and smooth, I ain't with it
Hardcore, rawbone like a razor
I'm like a lazer, I just won't graze ya
Old enough to raise ya, so this will faze ya
Get it right boy and maybe I will praise ya
Playin' the role I got soul too
Voice my opinion with volume
Smooth, no what I am
Rough, 'cause I'm the man
No matter what the name, we're all the same
Pieces in one big chess game
Yeah, the voice of power
Is in the house, go take a shower boy
P.E. a group, a crew, not singular
We were Black Wranglers, we're rap stranglers
You can't angle us, I know you're listenin'
I caught you pissin' in you're pants
You're scared of us dissin' us
The crowd is missin' us
We're on a mission boy
Terminator X
Terminator X
Terminator X
Kill the Terminator
Come on, come on
Attitude, when I'm on fire
Juice on the loose, electric wire
Simple and plain, give me the lane
I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley
See the car keys, you'll never get these
They belong to the 9 8 posse
You want some more son, you wanna get some
Rush the door on a store, pick up the album
You know the rhythm, the rhyme plus the beat is designed
So I can enter your mind
Boys, bring the noise
My time step aside for the flex
Terminator X
75.Goody Two Shoes
Lyricist:Adam Ant, Marco Pirroni
With the heartbreak open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup, makeup
Make sure they get your good side, good side
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token, token
Write it on a pound note, pound note
Goody two, good two
Goody goody two shoes
Goody two, good two
Goody goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
We don't follow fashion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to set them, set them
So everyone can take note, take note
When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs
Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green
Goody two, good two
Goody goody two shoes
Goody two, good two
Goody goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
Must be something inside
No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong or what's right
Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with
Or that I've won the big fight, big fight
Look out or they'll tell you
You're a superstar
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token, token
Write it on a pound note, pound note
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
Must be something inside
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
Must be something inside
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
Must be something inside
...
76.Rockin' Down the Highway
Lyricist:Tom Johnston
Got those highway blues, can't you hear my motor runnin'?
Flyin' down the road with my foot on the floor
All the way in town they can hear me motor comin'
Ford's about to drop, she won't do no more
And I smell my motor burnin'
Underneath the hood is smoke
Can't stop, and I can't stop
Got to keep on movin' or I'll lose my mind
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Highway patrol got his eyes on me
Know what he's thinkin' and it ain't good
Movin' so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man, I know I should, yeah
I gotta kick in my pedal
Make my Ford move a little bit faster
Can't stop, and I can't stop
Got to keep on movin' or I'll lose my mind, sing it to me
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
77.Willie and the Hand Jive
Lyricist:Johnny Otis
I know a cat named Way Out Willie
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie, you'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive have got to go
Willie said, 'Papa, don't put me down
They're doin' the hand jive all over town'
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Mama, Mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doin' that hand jive with Sister Flo
Grandma gave baby sister a dime, hey, hey
Said, do that hand jive one more time
Well, the doctor and the lawyer and Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way Out Willie gave 'em all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Well, Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and a-that ain't all
You know, the baby got famous in his crib, you see
Doin' that hand jive on TV, c'mon
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
78.I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Lyricist:George Cory, Douglass Cross
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars, climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
79.T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Lyricist:Jerry Chesnut
Yeah, I play an old guitar from a nine till a half past one
I'm just tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else havin'
fun
Well, I don't miss much if it happens on a dancehall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door
Well, hello T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Tell me what in the world you doin' A-L-O-N-E
Yeah, say hey good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E, yeah
I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
She told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
She did the best she could to try to raise me right
'Cause mama never told me 'bout nothin' like Y-O-U
Bet your mama must've been another good lookin' honey too
Yeah, hey, good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Well, you're a sweet talkin', sexy walkin', honky tonkin', baby
The men are gonna love you and the woman gonna hate you
Remindin' them of everything they're never gonna be
May be the beginning of a World War III
'Cause the world ain't ready for nothin' like Y-O-U
I bet your mama must've been another good lookin' mama too
Hey, say hey, good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
I said hey, I said hey
I said hey, I said hey, I said hey
Now, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E, yeah
80.What Becomes of the Brokenhearted
Lyricist:James Anthony Dean, Paul Riser, William Weatherspoon
As I walk this land of broken dreams
(Broken dreams)
I have visions of many things
(So many things)
But happiness is just an illusion
(Just an illusion)
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kinda peace of mind maybe
The roots of love grow all around
(All around)
But for me they come tumbling down
(Come tumbling down)
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
(Just a little stronger)
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
(Searching for light)
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
(No comfort in sight)
Hopin' and praying for someone who'll care
(Someone to care)
Always moving and going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
(Don't succeed)
But someone look, there's a growing need
(Such a growing need)
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
(No beginning)
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

82.Rainbow Connection
Lyricist:Kenny Ascher, Lee Norris, Paul Williams
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lover's, the dreamer's and me
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lover's, the dreamer's and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailor?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lover's, the dreamer's and me
83.Just a Closer Walk with Thee
Lyricist:W S Stevenson
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus is my plea
Daily let it ever be
Just a closer walk with Thee
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me to that peaceful shore
Let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus is my plea
Daily let it ever be
Just a closer walk with Thee
84.Baby Love
Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland
Ooh-ooh, baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh, how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missin' ya, miss kissin' ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissin' and makin' up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh-ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love
All of my whole life through
I've never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't leave me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh, how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh
Till it's hurtin' me, till it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away

86.For the Love of You, Pts. 1 & 2
Lyricist:Ernest Isley, Marvin Isley, O'kelly Isley, Ronald Isley,
Rudolph Isley, Christopher Jasper, Joe Tex
Drifting on a memory, ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, loving you, well, well, well
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candlelights and a song, soft and long, well
Glad to be here alone with a lover like no other
Sad to see a new horizon slowly comin' into view
I wanna be livin' for the love of you, oh yes, I am
All that I'm givin' is for the love of you, alright now
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me
My love and me, well
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Blowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well
When you're lovin' me
When you're lovin' me
Love to be ridin' the waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch it seems to me
We could sail together in and out of mystery, well
I wanna be livin' for the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin' is for the love of you, you got me girl
I wanna be livin' for the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin', givin' is for the love of you, oh yes, I am
Paradise I held within, can't feel insecure again
You're the key, well and this I see, oh I see
Now I'm there and I lose my way
Usin' words to try to say what I feel that love is real
Oh, love is real
I might as well sign my name on a card
Which could say it better, time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done
Just about all that I can do
I know that I'm livin' for the love of you, oh yes, I am
I know that I'm livin' for the love, love of you
Every, everyday, I'm livin' for the love of you
I'm livin' for the love, each and every day, oh yes, I am
I wanna say it one more time
I said I'm livin' for the love of each and every day, Lord knows
I
Write that down, I said that I'm livin' for the love, love of
you
87.Public Enemy No. 1
Lyricist:James Boxley, Carlton Ridenhour
Yo, Chuck, bust a move, man
I was on my way up here to the studio
Ya know what I'm sayin'? An' this brother stop me an' ask me
'Yo, wassup with that brother Chuckie D? He swear he nice'
I said, 'Yo, the brother don't swear he's nice, he knows he's
nice'
Ya know what I'm sayin'? So Chuck, we gotta fill in
You turn him into a Public Enemy, man
Now remember that line you was kickin' to me
While we was in the car, on our way to the Shot
Well yo, right now, kick the bass for them brothers
An' let them know what goes on, what goes on
Well I'm all in, put it up on the board
Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared
1, 2, 3, down for the count
The result of my lyrics, oh yes, no doubt
Cold rock rap, 49er supreme
Is what I choose an' I use, I never lose to a team
'Cause I can go solo, like a Tyson bolo
Make the fly girls wanna have my photo
Run in their room, hang it on the wall
In remembrance that I rocked them all
Suckers, ducks, ho hum MCs
You can't rock the kid, so go cut the cheese
Take this application of rhymes like these
My rap's red hot, 110 degrees
So don't start bassin', I'll start placin'
Bets on that? You'll be disgracin'
You an' your mind from a beatin' from my rhymes
A time for a crime that I can't find
I'll show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a ton
Because I'm Public Enemy number one
One, one, one
One, one, one, one
You got no rap, but you want to battle
It's like havin' a boat, but you got no paddle
'Cause I never pause, I say it because
I don't break in stores, but I break all laws
Written while sittin', all fittin', not bitten
Givin' me the juice that your not gettin'
I'm not a law obeyer, so you can tell your mayor
I'm a non-stop, rhythm, rock poetry sayer
I'm the rhyme player, the ozone layer
A battle, what? Here's a Bible, start your prayer
This word to the wise is justified
If they ask you what happened, just admit you lied
You just got caught a for goin' out of order
An' now you're servin' football teams their water
You messed with the master, word to Chuck
An' I'll wax cold tax, made sure you got dunked
You just got dissed, all but dismissed
Sucker duck MCs, you get me pissed
It's no fun, bein' on the run
Because they got me, Public Enemy number one
One, one, one
One, one, one
Don't you know, don't you know?
I got a posse of a force to back me up
Watch out, we got never the match
Ambush attack, on my back, double teamin', get creamed
So we have us, so you're okay?
Wanna hear it again, we got a force
Enemy down, the L.I. circuit sound
Ain't it Chuckie D, myself an' K.G., Flavor, DJ Melody
Oh yes, I presume it's the tunes that make us groom
To make all the ladies swoon
But it's also the words from our direction, a gold boy session
Kickin' like Bruce Lee's Chinese connection
On stereo, never ever mind, yo
All wax, yes, I'm talkin' about vinyl
They said, â½Stop, freezeâ, I got froze up
Because I'm Public Enemy number one
One, one, one
One, one, one
One, one, one
For all you suckers, liars, your cheap amplifiers
You crossed up wires are always startin' fires
You grown up criers, now here's a pair of pliers
Get a job like your mother, I heard she fixes old dryers
You have no desires, your father fixes tires
You try to sell ya equipment but you get no buyers
It's you they never hire, you're never on flyers
'Cause you an' your crew is only known as good triers
Known as the poetic, political, lyrical son
I'm Public Enemy number one
One, one, one
One, one, one
One, one, one
Yeah, that's right, Chuck, man, that's what you gotta do
You gotta tell them just like that, ya know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause yo, man, let me tell you a little somethin', man
These brothers runnin' around, hard headed
They get a little jealous, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Just like that, ya know, they try to bring you down with 'em
But yo, Chuck, you gotta let 'em know
Who's who in the world of beat
You gotta let 'em know that this is the 80's
An' we can get all the ladies
An' in the backyard we got a fly Mercedes
An' that's the way the story goes
That's just the way the story goes
88.Shop Around
Lyricist:B Gordy, W Robinson
When I became of age my mother called me to her side
She said, 'Son you're growing up now
Pretty soon you'll take a bride' and then she said
'Just because you've become a young man now
There's still some things that you don't understand now
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now'
My mama told me, 'You better shop around
Oh yeah, you better shop around'
'There's some things that I want you to know now
Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now'
My mama told me, 'You better shop around
Oh yeah, you better shop around'
'Try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find one who's gonna give you true loving'
'Before you take a girl and say, 'I do' now
Make sure she's in love with you now'
My mama told me, 'You better shop around'
Try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a girl and say, 'I do' now
Make sure she's in love with you now
Make sure that her love is true now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
My mama told me, 'You better shop around'
Don't let the first one get you, oh no
'Cause I don't want to see her with you
Before you let her hold you tight
Yeah, yeah make sure she's all right
Before you let her take your hand my son
Understand my son, be a man my son
I know you can my son

Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar
It sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really there
It's just the radio
Don't you remember
You told me you love me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back
This way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
And I can't hardly wait
To be with you again
What to say
To make you come again?
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember
You told me you love me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back
This way again, baby

Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem

A child like summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun

Hear me now cause I want you to know
That it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame

Shining bright in the sky

Lyricist:Thomas Carl Keifer
I can't tell you, baby, what went wrong
I can't make you feel, what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show, can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words, I
can't let go
If we take some time, think it over, baby
Take some time, let me know, if you really want to go
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got, it's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back, takes so long
I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love, it falls like rain
Ain't the same, I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul I just can't take another day, who's to
blame
If we take some time, think it over, baby
Take some time, let me know, if you really wanna go
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got, it's just this song
It ain't easy to get back, takes so long
Do you wanna see me beggin', baby?
Can't you give me just one more day?
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately?
I've been lookin' for the words to say
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got, it's just this song
It ain't easy to get back, takes so long
Yeah, you don't know what you got till it's gone, no
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got, it's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back, takes so long

Lyricist:Jimmie L. Cameron, Vella M. Cameron, Curtis Jackson
New York City!
You are now rapping with 50 Cent

And twist a lot, catch suns in my 745
You drive me crazy Shorty I
Need to see you and feel you next to me
I provide everything you need and I
Like your smile I don't wanna see you cry
Got some questions that I got to ask and I
Hope you can come up with the answers babe
Girl, it's easy to love me now
Would you love me if I was down and out?
Would you still have love for me?
Girl, it's easy to love me now
Would you love me if I was down and out?
Would you still have love for me, girl?
If I feel off tomorrow would you still love me?
If I didn't smell so good would you still hug me?
If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter century
Could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?
If I went back to a hoopty from a Benz
Would you poof and disappear like some of my friends?
If I was hit and I was hurt would you be by my side?
If it was time to put in work would you be down to ride?
I'd get out and peel a nigga cap and chill and drive
I'm asking questions to find out how you feel inside
If I ain't rap 'cause I flipped burgers at Burger King
Would you be ashamed to tell your friends you feelin' me?
In bed if I used to my tongue, would you like that?
If I wrote you a love letter would you write back?
Now we can have a lil' drink you know a nightcap
And we could go do what you like, I know you like that
Girl, it's easy to love me now

Are you mad 'cause I'm asking you 21 questions?
Are you my soul mate? 'Cause if so, girl you're a blessing
Do you trust me enough, to tell me your dreams?
I'm staring at ya trying to figure how you got in them jeans
If I was down would you say things to make me smile?
I treat you how you want to be treated just teach me how
If I was with some other chick and someone happened to see?
And when you asked me about it I said it wasn't me
Would you believe me? Or up and leave me?
How deep is our bond if that's all it takes for you to be gone?
We only humans, girl we, make mistakes
To make it up I do whatever it take

98.Cars
Lyricist:Gary Numan
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door in cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right in cars
99.Shine Your Light
Lyricist:Robbie Robertson
The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by
These are the streets
Where we used to run where your papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in, oh
Shine Your light down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine Your light when You're gone
Give me the strength to carry on, carry on
Don't wanna be a hero just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall
Lose hold your grip off the wall
Shine Your light down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine Your light when You're gone
Give me the strength to carry on, carry on
I thought I saw Him walking
By the side of the road
Maybe trying to find His way home
He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope He knows if I get lost, oh
Shine Your light down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine Your light when You're gone
Give me the strength to carry on, carry on
Shine Your light down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine Your light when You're gone
Give me the strength to carry on, carry on
100.Locked Up
Lyricist:Aliaune Thiam
Yo lemme hit that jail one mo' time for these people callin'
Prisoner, one-seven-fo'-nine-eight-six, dash-five-oh-fo'
Do you have anything to say for yo'self before sentencing?
Hehehe, yes, nigga I'm a Rottweiler, they call me dawg on the
streets
I never leave the house without my hand on my heat
I run with pitbulls, like Kirk, Boz and Jimmy
And we ain't takin' shorts, every dollar to the penny
Big cereal chompin, white granola
Got a bitch uptown with the dope in a baby stroller
Fuck with me, then you fucked in the game
Niggaz snitch to the Feds take two to the brain
We live the thug life, make money from the drug life
Flip a quarter ki, every day all night, ship me to Oz, I'm still
in it
Fuck the haters, No Limit we still winnin'
I'm a killer my nigga fool, check the rap sheet
Murder, armed robbery, kidnappin', conspiracy
This is for my niggaz that's locked up
(Locked up)
Gangsters, til they boxed up
(Boxed up)
Livin' the laws, everyday we ready for war
We soldiers hard to the core
This is for my niggaz that's locked up
(Locked up)
Gangsters, til they boxed up
(Boxed up)
Livin' the laws, everyday we ready for war
We soldiers hard to the core
I used to sling rocks, out on blocks, gun cocked
Thinkin' to myself all these dumb-ass cops
Night time I was cold with two things on my mind
Get that money, rock a nigga if he get out of line
Put two in his spine, a nigga just lookin' for crime
Heat it up, squeezin' off for even lookin' at mine
A basket case, tie you up, blast your face
Snatch the safe, closed casket at your wake
Two murders, three-time felon, catch the case
Facin' double life I made some bad mistakes
Courts, judges, bars, lawyers
Fam-o, wifey, sons, daughters
Freedom, need that, shanks, keep that
Eight o'clock lock y'all know where I be at
Ran 'til I couldn't run the slums with guns
Livin' straight wild, knowin' how the Jakes gon' come
Too many cats in my hood gettin' it good
Know what I did, shit they got me facin' a bid
This is for my niggaz that's locked up
(Locked up)
Gangsters, til they boxed up
(Boxed up)
Livin' the laws, everyday we ready for war
We soldiers hard to the core
Even as a little soldier, momma called me a thug
The block full of dope fiends, lookin' for drugs
And I never let the dirty money pass me nigga
No matter how much coke I sold it never last me nigga
They blast me nigga, three niggaz lookin' for ki's
Me and my kids duct-taped, layin' down on our knees
I said I'd bust them niggaz heads and believe I did
Now them bitches got me locked down, facin' a bid
This is for my niggaz that's locked up
(Locked up)
Gangsters, til they boxed up
(Boxed up)
Livin' the laws, everyday we ready for war
We soldiers hard to the core
