She can't hide no matter how hard she tries Her secret disguised behind the lies And at night she cries away her pride With eyes shut tight staring at her inside All her friends know why she can't sleep at night All her family asking if she's alright All she wants to do is get rid of this hell Well all she's got to do is stop kidding herself She can only fool herself for so long [x3] I'm too weak to face me (she can only fool herself)
I never know just why you run so far away, far away from me [x2]
When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told Says he's got it all under control Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with But in reality it'd be a problem to just quit An addict and he can't hold the reins The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same Tries to slow down the problem he's got But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop He can only fool himself for so long [x3] I'm too weak to face me (he can only fool himself)
Fly with me under the wings I gave you, Try to be closer to me and I'll save you

I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin in space Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits Mastered numerology and bigbang theology Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology Invented the mic so I could start blessin it And chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist Many men have tried to shake us But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them what I'm made of I buckle knees like leg braces Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the emcees that hate us So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on From now to infinity let icons be bygones I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this I've tried threats but moved on to a promise I stomp shit with or without an accomplis (Mixed media) The stamp of approval is on this
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones Never satisfy my rhyme jones Sprayin bright day over what you might say Blood type krylon Technicolor type A On highways right with road rage I'm patient to win The cage and the tin to bounce all around In surround sound devouring the scene Subliminal gangrene paintings Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy madness Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics Fourth dimension, combat convention Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (Attention) Meant to put you away with the pencil Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile While you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws Spin, blah blah blah blah You can say you saw

Part of me won’t go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted against the consequences Can’t live without it so it’s senseless Wanna cut it out of my soul And just live with a gaping hole Take control of my life And wash out all the burnt taste I made the problems in the first place Hang my head low ‘cause it’s part of me Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me Heard of me the routine scar New cuts cover where the old ones are And now I’m sick of this I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade on my sanity I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the mirror through me
Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me
I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside Swallowing me
Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it Once it’s been dealt with you feel like you’ve been touched by something angelic And then melted down into a pool of peace Cease to be the animal you used to be Remove the broken parts you know were wrong And feel the karma when the problem’s all gone And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can’t let be Memories of the last fight to free yourself Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart Where your insides bruised You can live if you’re willing to Put a stop to just what’s killing you
(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently This part of me won’t go away, part of me won’t go away Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be Every time I see myself I see there’s always something wrong with me)
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me
Watch as the room rocks Mentally moonwalk Mixed media slang Banging in your boom box verbal violence Lyrical stylist In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an MC With your lack of skill and facility You’re killing me And a DJ in the group just for credibility I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck So how does it stack up? None of it’s real You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy With a tendency to make up stories Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40 And your record company is completely missing it All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate So in a battle you can't hack it React with whack shit And get smacked with verbal back flips Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts It's taken decades for emcees to establish this You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious But not on the mic Leave that to the experienced
Where should I start Disjointed heart I’ve got no commitment To my own flesh and blood Left all alone Far from my home No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I
Keep it locked up inside
Cannot express To the point I’ve regressed If anger’s a gift, then I guess I’ve been blessed, I
Keep it locked up inside Keep my distance from your lies
It’s too late to love me now You helped me to show me It’s too late to love me now You don't even know me
Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me) Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep it locked up inside Keep my distance from your lies
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me) Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep my distance Keep my distance Keep my distance Keep my distance
Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midrift Dark all I do embark the shadows Involved with my thought catalog, analogue, rap catalog Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistance The twisted web of tangled lies Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste And I'm forced to face these hate crimes Against the state of being Feeling the weight-less-ness pressed between the ceiling Reeling around room Riding a bubble of sound proof It's the frequency making you Sha-Shake with every boom Involuntary muscle contraction Ignoring and drinking musical gas fueled euphoria The sound pounds to make the dead flush To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said stuff
I heard that you're leavin - this sleepy little town The bright lights must have caught your eye cuz you ain't hangin' round Ya know people been talkin' - they say you're makin' a mistake Gotta get on that greyhound and forget about what they say
Just walk on by - walk on by Don't look over your shoulder - keep your head up high Just walk on by
I've heard bad things about the city and i'm told that they're true Better watch out for those guys out there they're gonna hit on you So don't talk to no strangers - no it ain't your style Don't give up when the chips are down - just turn around and smile
Just walk on by - walk on by Don't look over your shoulder - keep your head up high Just walk on by - ya walk on
You're old enough to know why - you're old enough to know why
Now you're standing at the station - got a ticket in your hand Guess you got you're mind made up - gotta get out while you can Don't say I never told ya - now the rest is up to you Those streets can be like a battlefield - when it's hard to make it thru...
Just walk on by - walk on by Don't look over your shoulder - keep your head up high Just walk on by
Walk on by - walk on by You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy Just walk on by
Walk on by - walk on by Don't look over your shoulder - keep your head up high Just walk on by
Walk on by - walk on by You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy Just walk on by
She was the girl in the very front row Always waitin' after the show She was the queen of the hollywood hills Knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills Somebody's climbin' on a greyhound tonight Too much lipstick and her dress real tight Looks like a woman but she ain't quite No, not quite
She's somebody's baby She's somebody's mother's child She may look like a lady But she's just a flower grown wild
They never knew you by your childhood name But they were drawn to you like moths to a flame Nobody saw the tears in your silk n' lace Or the scarred little kid behind your face Just remember when you hold her tight What you're holding in your arms tonight She's no angel, but that's alright Ya that's alright
She's somebody's baby She's somebody's mother's child She may look like a lady But she's just a flower grown wild
Just another little pretty thing Another angel with a broken wing Who fell to earth 'neath the hollywood hills Amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills
Just like the girl on the movie screen She played it up until the very last scene The picture faded and the day was done Went home to nothin but a loaded gun
Somebody's climbing on a greyhound tonight A little angel flyin' out of sight Looks like a woman but she ain't quite No, not quite
Just when I thought I had it figured out Just when I thought I had the answers You came along so full of promises Full of grace and second chances
For awhile I tried to shut it out For awhile I tried to fight it But now I see that there just ain't no use There ain't no reason to deny it Oh - ya just never know, no you don't
The world is full of mysteries Full of magic and of wonder There's so much more than what we see Can't explain the spell I'm under Everytime I look upon your face I'm constantly amazed And love moves through my days In mysterious ways
They say the heart is shaped just like a fist Holding in its feelings I say the heart is like an open hand Holding out and healing Oh wherever you go - don't ya know
It's funny what goes through your mind When you think of times you spent together Funny but when I think back why we broke up The reasons seem so small One day she's with me everything's fine Sayin' somethin' sounded like I love you The next week I see her walkin' down the street with someone else Probably sayin' the same thing It's doin' my brain in...
I got nothin - goin' nowhere Tired of under achieving I keep searchin' - nothin's workin' It's not enough just to be breathin' I need somethin' to believe in
It's funny what goes on in your head When you think about the way things come together But now I think back why things had to change The reasons seem so small Cruel twist of fate keepin' me awake When I need to sleep to take away the hurtin' But now I got time on my hands tryin' to understand But there ain't no explainin' It's doin' my brain in...r
My hands are shakin' - my heart skips a beat I can't focus - I can't speak It's like i'm underwater And i'm going deep - I need ya around me
Oxygen - every moment Oxygen - everyday I can't live without it - don't take it away I need to breath you in - like oxygen
Losin' cohesion - I'm losin' my mind I'm tryin' to resist it - to stay out of the light It's like I'm drownin' - in the deepest sea I need ya around me
Oxygen - every moment Oxygen - everyday I can't live without it no - don't take it away I need to breath you in
Oxygen every moment - oxygen everyday I can't live without it - don't take it away I need to breath you in - over and over again
My pulse racin' - my heads in a spin I need to see you darlin' - cuz you're my oxygen
How come the best ones are always taken What I see when I see ya - is love in the makin' Something about timin', something about fate Gotta go with the feeling - not a moment too waste
Bring it on bring it on -ya - I was born ready I'm a son of a strong man - i'm rock steady Everything you throw - I can see it coming Ain't gonna be no TKO just a lot of lovin'
Cuz opposites attract this way If day is night and night is day If loving you is wrong then babe - wrong is right And I ain't losin' the fight
Take it on, take it on, take it on - no second guessing Dressin' up a situation - we should be undressing Hear the bell ringing - seconds out round two I got my eyes on the prize, and the prize is you
I like the way we are - I love what we've become When i'm in your arms - I know i've found the one I love your kiss me mouth - and your static touch Its just the way you are - that makes me feel so much
No one could ever know - what we're like alone Rollin' round like rain - we're a midnight storm Like a river rising - I feel it thru your skin When we're together - I never want it to end
I thought I'd seen everything - til I saw you I thought I'd been everywhere - til I'd been with you I thought that everyone knew what I knew I thought I'd seen everything - til I saw you
I like the way we are - like a raging fire Burning up the night, burning with desire You're such a sweet temptation - you know I can't resist Electricity, hey every time we kiss
We'll save ourselves a bottle Of California red We'll drink it on a Tuesday Let it go straight to our heads
And we'll eat from good china And make love on linen sheets Just like there's no tomorrow No surrender, no retreat
I can feel it in my bones And I know it in my heart Tomorrow may be rainin' but tonight we have the stars We may always be together Or miles and miles apart Tomorrow may be rainin' but tonight we have the stars
We were young and we were foolish We were easy to deceive Said we'd be in love forever And it was easy to believe
Well you and I we had our moments Our devils and our doubts But the time we spend together We gotta make it count
[Chorus]
So let's hold on to this moment Cause it's all we've really got
She's got a way - of getting inside your soul She'd breach the walls of jericho Make you fall like virgin snow She's got a smile, makes you forget the things You were only just thinking about It kind of turns me inside out And if I try to conceal, she's got a way to reveal
I feel so naked - I feel so totally exposed It's such a mystery, how she seems to know, every part of me I feel so shaken - and it's like everybody knows Whenever she touches me, no one else can feel, as much as me Ya she's got a way
She's got a way - of taming the wild in me With patience and serenity I'm drowning in her revery And I can't run away she's got a way to make me stay
She comes to me like rain falls down my window Sure as night will follow day - i'll surrender Ya she's got a way
You always say the things I can believe in Always say the things I wanna hear I believe them all - the stories short and tall I believe you, ya I believe you
You give me love When love is all I need to live You gave your word, when words were just superlative When I was blind, you came and opened up my eyes Now I feel I can believe in anything You taught me how to fly on broken wings
You always do the things I can depend on You're always there every night and day Everytime i've fallen down - you've always been around To lift me up again To set me straight again
Sometimes I find myself on my own And can't find the road that leads me back home But you made believe I can do anything Even fly on broken wings
We found our strength - we found our way at last We found tomorrow - by building on our past We paid our dues - we stick together - come whatever
We're still standin' - didn't fall to pieces Never lost our reason - never stopped believin'
We found our wings and now we fly above the wind You and me - we found what we're looking for
We gave it all - gave our very best With every fall - we withstood the test We broke the rules Had to do it - to get thru it
We found our wings together we found everything You and me - we found what we're looking for You made me shine - picked me up when I fell behind With you - I never need to search no more
We're still standin' - didn't fall to pieces Never lost our reason - never stopped believin' Ah never stopped - believin'
We found our wings and together we found everything You and me - we found what we're looking for You made me shine picked me up when I fell behind With you - I never need to search no more You and me we found what we were looking for
Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night Get it out - check it out I'm on my way and I don't feel right I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact It's OK - I'll find a way You ain't gonna take me down no way Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it Dont' push me - I'll fight it Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride You can't come uninvited Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no You can't take me I'm free
Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on And what's this holding me? I'm not where I supposed to be I gotta fight another fight I gotta fight will all my might I'm getting out , so check it out Ya, you're in my way So you better watch out
I hear the wind call your name It calls me back home again It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns Oh it's to you I'll always return I still feel your breath on my skin I hear your voice deep within The sound of my lover - a feeling so strong It's to you - I'll always belong
Now I know it's true My every road leads to you And in the hour of darkness darlin' Your light gets me through
Wanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun Bathe in your waters - cos you are the one I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone I can't wait to see you - Ya I'm on my way home
Oh I hear the wind call your name The sound that leads me home again It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns Oh, it's to you - I will always return
Well you think that you can take me on You must be crazy There ain't a single thing you've done That's gonna phase me Oh, but if you want to have a go I just want to let you know Get off my back and into my game Get out of my way and out of my brain Get outta my face or give it you best shot I think it's time you better face the fact Get off my back
You know it's all just a game that I'm playing Don't think that you can't find a way in That's what I'm saying Oh if you want to have a go I just want to let you know...
