Ashes in the Fall

 

A mass of hands press on the market window

Ghosts of progress

Dressed in slow death

Feeding on hunger

And glaring through the promise

Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle

A mass of nameless at the oasis

That hides the graves beneath the masters hill

Buried for drinking

The rivers water

While shackled to the line

At the empty well

 

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

 

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over new ground

Listen to the fascist sing

Take hope here

War is elsewhere

You were chosen

This is god's land

Soon well be free

Of blot and mixture

Seeds planted by our

Forefathers hand

 

A mass of promises

Begin to rupture

Like the pockets

Of the new world kings

Like swollen stomachs

In Appalachia

Like the priests that f#&k you

As they whisper holy things

A mass of tears have transformed to stones now

Sharpened on suffering

Woven into slings

Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress

Taking today what tomorrow never brings

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over new ground

 

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

 

Is the new soundJust like the old sound?

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

 

Aint the new sound

Just like the old sound?

Look at the noose now

Over the, over the, over the burning ground

Aint it funny how the factorys doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that the doors of the jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

Aint it funny how the factorys doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that a hundred thousand jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

 

Ohhhh

Ohhhh

Oasis

This is no oasis

 

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

 

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

 

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

Like ashes in the fall (Ha Ha)

War Within a Breath

 

Every official that come in

Cripples us leaves us maimed

Silent and tamed

And with our flesh and bones

He builds his homes

 

Southern fist

Rise through tha jungle mist

Clenched to smash power so cancerous

Black flag and a red star

A rising sun loomin over Los Angeles

Yes for Raza livin in La La

Like Gaza on to tha dawn Intifada

Reach for the lessons tha masked pass on

Seize tha metropolis

Its you its built on

 

Everything can change on new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

Everything changed on a new years day

 

Cmon

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land

 

Their existence is a crime

Their seat, their robe, their tie

Their land deeds

Their hired guns

Theyre tha crime

 

Shots heard underground round the rapture

Worlds eye captured

At last is a Mexican pasture

Tha masked screaming land or deathWithin a breath

A war from the depth of time

Shot four puppet governors in a line

Shook all tha world bankers

Who think they can rhyme

Shot the landlords who knew it was mine

Yes its a war from the depth of time

 

And everything can change on a new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

Cmon

 

Uh

Wearin the masked scream

 

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

 

Its land or death (whispered)

 

Yeaaaaaah

Uh

Cmon, cmon, yes, yes, yes

 

Its war within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

Its land or death

War within a breath

People Of The Sun

 

Yeah people come up

 

Yeah, we better turn tha bass up on this one

Check it, since 1516 minds attacked and overseen

Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream

Wit their borders and boots on top of us

Pullin' knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis

But how you gonna get what you need ta get?

Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet

Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim

Tha spirit of Cuahtemoc alive an untamed

Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica

That vulture came ta try and steal ya name

But now you got a gun, yeah this is for the people of the sun

 

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around again! Uh!

 

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around again! Uh!

 

Yeah, neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back

Ya spine cracked for tobacco, oh I'm the Marlboro man, uh

Our past blastin' on through the verses

Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses

Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist,

Sailors blood on tha deck, come sista resist

From tha era of terror check this photo lens,

Now tha city of angels does the ethnic cleanse

Uh, heads bobbin' to tha funk out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica

That vulture came to try and steal ya name

But now you found a gun, you're history, this is for the people of the sun

 

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around again! Yeah!

 

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around again!

 

It's comin' back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's comin' back around!

Of the sun

People Of The Sun (Original, as on Bombs & Bullets)

Bastard son is in, swimin' in a sea of funk

Clear the lane, I'm gonna have to dunk ya

Up and down like a donut in a caffeinated drink

So take the sink, I'll take ya to the brink

Check the rugged style I flip (some versions say "bring")

If the price is right, I'll take you on a trip

In my old school '62, two-tone white and blue

One that ya never wanna step to

Face my baseline, feel the earth quaking

Sweat is on site at appamatox

Mistakin' for my culture

White boys who came and tried to steal my name

But now I got a gun, this is for the people of the sun!

 

This is for the people of the sun!

It's coming back around again!

Yeah it's coming back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

Yeah

 

I'm not a silent one, I'm a defiant one,

Never the normal one, 'cause I'm the bastard's son

Trip the way before the sky gives birth

And now I trip the way from mother earth

I'm tearin' off a, big fat chunk of the funk

Clear the lane I gotta dunk, never smoke the skunk

Or the cest

The Humboldt, the showman of the buddha

Gotta product six shooter, so f#&k the hoota

Face the baselines feel the earth quakin

Sweat is on site at appamatox

Mistaken for my culture,

White boys who came and tried to steal my name

But now I got a gun, this is for the people of the sun!

 

It's coming back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

It's coming back around again!

Yeah it's coming back around again!

This is for the people of the sun!

For the sun!

Come wit it now!

Come wit it now!

The microphone explodes, shattering the molds

Either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha f#&k off tha commode

Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop

Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt

Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons

That five sided fist-a-gon

Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger

Tha triggers cold empty ya purse

 

Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

 

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes

Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal

I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library

Line up to tha mind cemetary now

What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'

They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em

While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells

Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells

 

Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

Turn it off, turn on tha radio, nah f#&k it turn it off

Fear is your only god on the radio

Nah f#&k it, your saviour's my guillotine, crosses and kerosene

Up jump tha boogie then bang, let 'em hang

While tha paraniod try ta stuff tha void

Let's capture this AM mayhem

Undressed, and blessed by tha Lord

Tha power pendulum swings by tha umbilical cord

Shock around tha clock, from noon 'til noon

Men grabbin' they mics, and stuff 'em into tha womb

Terror's tha product ya push

Well I'm a truth addict, oh s@%t I gotta headrush

Sheep tremble an here come tha votes

Thrown from tha throat, new cages an scapegoats

Undressed and blessed by tha Lord

Tha same devil that ran around Managua wit a sword

Check out tha new style that Ollie found

I tune in wit a bullet ta shut down tha devil sound

Shut down tha devil sound

Shut down tha devil sound

 

Turn on the radio, nah f#&k it turn it off

Nah f#&k it, your saviour's my guillotine, crosses and kerosene

 

Flex tha cerebellum, fire, uh!

Somebody gotta shell 'em

These evil angels lists, hittin' tha AM playlist

Paid ta say this

That one inhuman, illegal, single woman

Tha one wit out a room

The transmissions wippin' our backs

Yeah, comin' down like bats from Stacy Coon

Terror's tha product ya push

Well I'm a truth addict, oh s@%t I gotta headrush

Tha sheep tremble an here come tha votes

Thrown from tha throat, new cages and scapegoats

One caution tha mics a detonator unwound

Ta shut down tha devil sound

Shut down tha devil sound

Check tha heads bow in vietnow

Shut down tha devil sound

Revolver

 

His spit is worth more than her work

Pass the purse to the pugilists

He's a prizefighter

And he bought rings and he owns kin

And now he's swingin'

And now he's the champion

Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?

Revolver!

Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?

Revolver

 

A spotless domain

Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more

Pictures of fields without fences

A spotless domain

Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more

Pictures of fields without fences

Her body numbs as he approaches the door

As he approaches the door

As he approaches the door

As he approaches the door

As he approaches

Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?

Revolver!

Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?

Revolver!

Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?

Snakecharmer

 

Satellites and, pair of mirrors and, and a man without a home

With a horse, and a rider, and a clever, cunning killer

Silent in error and vocal in spotlights

Lying always sucking on a bottle of, that sweet, indulgent fluid

Oh greed oh yes oh greed oh yes!

Oh greed oh yes

Yeah!

Yeah! (Left channel - 26 years in this stage

Yeah! you're 26 years in this stage)

Yeah!

Your frienship is a fog

That disappears when the wind redirects

You!

Yes you!

 

 

Father's expectations, soul soaked in, spit and urine

And you gotta make it where?

To a sanctuary that's a fragile American hell

An empty dream

A selfish, horrific vision

Passed on like the deadliest of viruses

Crushing you and your naive profession

Have no illusions boy

Vomit all ideals and serve

Sleep and wake and serve

And don't just think just wake and serve

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Your friendship is a fog

That disappears when the wind redirects

You! Interested in you, interested in you

Interested in you, interested in you (to end)

Who passed away with the truth

Amidst the eulogies of bliss

Who will know now what I know about you?

Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess

Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me

A mess!

Overbearing yes ya tryin' ta tire me

A mess!

Down Rodeo

 

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

 

Bangin' this bolo tight on this solo flight can't fight alone

Funk tha track my verbs fly like tha family stone

Tha pen devils set that stage for tha war at home

Locked wit out a wage ya standin' in tha drop zone

The clockers born starin' at an empty plate

Momma's torn hands cover her sunken face

We hungry but them belly full

The structure is set ya neva change it with a ballot pull

In tha ruins there's a network for tha toxic rock

School yard ta precinct, suburb ta project block

Bosses broke south for new flesh and a factory floor

The remains left chained to the powder war

 

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse

So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

Yes I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

 

(Guitar solo)

 

Bare witness to tha sickest shot while suckas get romantic

They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton

Still we lampin' still clockin' dirt for our sweat

A ballots dead so a bullet's what I get

A thousand years they had tha tools

We should be takin' 'em

f#&k tha G-ride I want the machines that are makin' em

Our target straight wit a room full of armed pawn to

Off tha kings out tha west side at dawn

 

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse

Make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

 

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

 

The rungs torn from the ladder can't reach the tumour

One god, one market, one truth, one consumer

 

Just a quiet peaceful dance!

Just a quiet peaceful dance!

Just a quiet peaceful dance!

Just a quiet peaceful dance!

Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we'll never have

Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we don't have

Without A Face

 

Uh! Got no card so I got not soul

Life is prison, no parole, no control

Tha jura got my number on a wire tap

'Cause I jack for similac, f#&k a cadillac

Survive one motive no hope

'Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope

Yes I know my deadline sire, when my life expires

I'm sendin' paper south under tha barbed wire

Tha mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave

It's my life for their life so call it a free trade

"Por vida" and our name up on tha stall

I took a death trip when I tried ta cross tha white wall

Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face

One motive no hope ah, born without a face

Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face

One motive no hope ah, yeah, born without a face

Without a face

 

Yeah, I tried ta look back ta my past long lost

A blood donor ta tha land owner holocaust

Pops heart stopped, in came tha air drop

Flooded tha trench he couldn't shake tha toxic shock

Maize was all we needed ta sustain

Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rain

Ya down wit DDT yeah you know me

Raped for tha grapes, profit for tha bourgeois (?)

War tape boomin' path is Luminoso

I'm headed north like my name was kid 'Cisco

To survive one motive no hope, ah

It's hard ta breathe wit Wilson's head around my throat

Strangled and mangled another SS curtain call

When I tried ta cross tha white wall

When I tried ta cross tha white walls

Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face

One motive no hope ah, born without a face

Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face

One motive no hope ah, born without a face

 

You say fortify, reaction, you divide

And you say fortify, reaction, reaction

Wind Below

 

Flip this capital eclipse

Tha vocal tone has got 'em sweatin' their own apocalypse

Yes, rebel of tha grains stand masterless

Tha masked ones cap one

NAFTA comin' with tha new disaster

And yes we in wit tha wind an tha plan de Ayala kin

Are comin' back around again

Tha slave driver saliva, one night power turns

Them devils mouths dry, now Mexico burns

So here they come one by one them killers of the new frontier

Occupy, causin' fear, come on

Wit the wind below

We in wit the wind below

Wit the wind below

 

Flip this capital eclipse

Them bury life wit IMF shifts, and poison lips

Yo they talk it, while slicin' our veins yo so mark it

From the FINCAS overseers, to them vultures playin' markets

She ain't got nothin' but weapon and shawl

She is Chol, Tzotzil, Tojolobal, Tzeltal

The tools are her tools, Ejidos and ovaries

She once suffocated, now through a barrel she breathes

She is the wind below

The wind below

She is the wind below

 

(Guitar solo)

 

And all the shareholders gonna flex, and try ta annex the truth

While the new trust is gonna flex, and cast their image in you

Yeah all the shareholders gonna flex, and try ta annex the truth

And while the new trust tries ta flex, and cast their image in you

And GE is gonna flex and try and annex the truth

And NBC is gonna flex and cast their image in you

And Disney bought the fantasies and piles of eyes

And ABC's new thrill rides of trials and lies

And while the gut eaters strain to pull the mud from their mouths

They force our ears to go deaf to the screams in the south

Yeah!

But we in wit the wind below!

But we in wit the wind below!

But we in wit the wind below!

Roll Right

 

Lick off the shot my stories shock ya like Ellison

Main line adrenaline Gaza to Tienanmen

From the basement I'm dwellin' in

I cock back tha sling to stone a settler

And breaks him off clean, call me the upsetter

Here comes the hands on the leashes

The cross, the capital, the pale families, the fear and the mouthpieces

The single sista lynch

The cell doors crash

And the master's drums echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo

Roll right! Roll call!

But now we're alright, we're all calm!

Roll right! Roll call!

And now we're alright, we're all calm!

 

This hits like fists bomb with the left and don't miss

With the sickest stilo I spark fear like pigs in the park

Head crack, I hijack the papers

The vapors caught fire up in your mind

Come back rewind one time

Here comes the hands on the leashes

The cross, the capital, the pale families, the fear and the mouthpieces

The single sista lynch

The cell doors crash

And the master's drums echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo

Roll right! Roll call!

But now we're alright, we're all calm!

Roll right! Roll call!

 

We gotta take 'em to tha seventh level

We gotta take 'em to tha seventh level

For their lives and my lives were never settled

Come on, don't freeze when zero hour comes

Come on, come on, don't freeze when zero hour comes

Come on

 

Send 'em to tha seventh level!

Send 'em to tha seventh level!

Send 'em to tha seventh level!

Send 'em to tha seventh level!

For their lives and my lives were never settled

Year Of Tha Boomerang

'Cause I'm cell locked in tha doctrines of tha right

Enslaved by dogma, talk about my birthrights

Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hell's gates

So I grip tha cannon like Fanon an pass tha shells to my classmates

Aw, power to tha people

'Cause tha bosses right ta live is mine ta die

Bombtrack

 

Ughh! Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...ughh!

Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!

It goes a-one, two three and

It's just another bombtrack

And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this

But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level

'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down

Hand out some beat-downs

Cold runna train on punk ho's that

Think they run the game

But I learned to burn that bridge and delete

Those who compete at a level that's obsolete

Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag

As I recall our downfall

And the business that burned us all

See through the news and the views that twist reality

Enough

I call the bluff

Manifest destiny

 

Landlords and power whores

On my people they took turns

Dispute the suits I ignite

And then watch 'em burn

 

With the thoughts from a militant mind

Hardline, hardline after hardline

 

Landlords and power whores

On my people they took turns

Dispute the suits I ignite

And then watch 'em burn

 

 

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Yes ya gonna burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

 

 

It goes a-one, two, three

Another funky radical bombtrack

Started as a sketch in my notebook

And now dope hooks make punks take another look

My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear

That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere

 

With the thoughts from a militant mind

Hardline, hardline after hardline

 

Landlords and power whores

On my people they took turns

Dispute the suits I ignite

And then watch 'em burn

 

 

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Yes ya gonna burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

 

 

Euurrrggghhhhh!

Uggh! Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...

Check it out...

 

Bombtrack (evening sessions version)

This version has an extra verse:

 

 

Yeah, I tried to look back to my past long lost

A blood-donor to the landowner holocaust

Pop's heart stopped, then came the air drop

Flooded the trench, couldn't shake the toxic shock

Maize, was all we needed to sustain

Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rains

Down with DDT, yeah you know me

Raped for the grapes and a profit for the bourgeosie

My war tape booming and my path is Luminoso

I'm headed north like my name was kid 'Cisco

To survive, just a profit loss and learn (?)

I gotta break 'em off and watch 'em burn

Killing In The Name

 

Killing in the name of!

Some of those that were forces are the same that burn crosses

Huh!

Killing in the name of

 

And now you do what they told ya (11 times)

But now you do what they told ya

Well now you do what they told ya

 

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

 

Some of those that were forces are the same that bore crosses

Some of those that were forces are the same that bore crosses

Uggh!

Take The Power Back

 

Spoken: 'Crank the music up'

 

Bring that s@%t in! Uggh!

Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry

Now check this out...uggh!

In the right light, study becomes insight

But the system that dissed us

Teaches us to read and write

 

So called facts are fraud

They want us to allege and pledge

And bow down to their God

Lost the culture, the culture lost

Spun our minds and through time

Ignorance has taken over

Yo, we gotta take the power back!

Bam! Here's the plan

Motherf#&k Uncle Sam

Step back, I know who I am

Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear

It's the beats and the lyrics they fear

The rage is relentless

We need a movement with a quickness

You are the witness of change

And to counteract

We gotta take the power back

 

 

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on!

We gotta take the power back

 

 

The present curriculum

I put my fist in 'em

Eurocentric every last one of 'em

See right through the red, white and blue disguise

With lecture I puncture the structure of lies

Installed in our minds and attempting

To hold us back

We've got to take it back

'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears

One-sided stories for years and years and years

I'm inferior? Who's inferior?

Yea, we need to check the interior

Of the system that cares about only one culture

And that is why

We gotta take the power back

 

 

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on!

We gotta take the power back

 

 

Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down

Awww s@%t!

Uggh!

And like this...uggh!

Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!

The teacher stands in front of the class

But the lesson plan he can't recall

The student's eyes don't perceive the lies

Bouning off every f#&king wall

His composure is well kept

I guess he fears playing the fool

The complacent students sit and listen to some of that

Bullshit that he learned in school

 

Europe ain't my rope to swing on

Can't learn a thing from it

Yet we hang from it

Gotta get it, gotta get it together then

Like the motherf#&kin' weathermen

To expose and close the doors on those who try

To strangle and mangle the truth

'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react

We gotta take the power back

 

 

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on!

We gotta take the power back

 

 

No more lies (8 times, building to a crescendo)

Uggh!

Yeah!

Take it back y'all

Take it back, a-take it back

A-take it back y'all, come on!

Take it back y'all

Take it back, a-take it back

A-take it back y'all, come on!

Yeah!

You and Me (Lifehouse)

 

what day is it

and in what month

this clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up

and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

 

cause it's you and me and all of the people

with nothing to do

nothing to lose

and it's you and me and all of the people

and I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

 

all of the things that I want to say

just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping inwards

you got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

 

cause it's you and me and all of the people

with nothing to do

nothing to prove

and it's you and me and all of the people

and I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

 

there's something about you now

I can't quite figure out

everything she does is beautiful

everything she does is right

 

you and me and all of the people

with nothing to do

nothing to lose

and it's you and me and all of the people

and I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

 

you and me and all of the people

"Out Of My League"

Stephen Speaks

 

it's her hair and her eyes today

that just simply take me away

and the feeling that i'm falling further in love

makes me shiver but in a good way

all the times i have sat and stared

as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair

and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,

with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

coz i love her with all that i am

and my voice shakes along with my hands

coz she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need

and i'm out of my league once again

 

it's a masterful melody when she calls out my name to me

as the world spins around her she laughs, rolls her eyes

and i feel like i'm falling but it's no surprise

coz i love her with all that i am

and my voice shakes along with my hands

cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea

but i'd rather be here than on land

yes she's all that i see and she's all that i need

and i'm out of my league once again

Happy Together

The Turtles

 

Imagine me and you, I do

I think about you day and night, it's only right

To think about the girl you love and hold her tight

So happy together

 

If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

So happy together

 

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

 

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

 

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

 

So happy together

How is the weather

So happy together

We're happy together

So happy together

Happy together

So happy together

So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)

COME WHAT MAY

Soundtrack: Moulin Rouge

 

Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

I want to vanish inside your kiss

Every day i'm loving you more than this

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change, winter to spring

But I love you until the end of time

 

Chorus:

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day

 

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather

And stars may collide

But I love you until the end of time

 

Chorus

 

Oh, come what may, come what may

I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

 

Chorus

"Pathetic"

- Lamb of God

 

Somewhere between an excuse and a lie,

You found something that you believe.

So proud, I guess I can't imagine why,

Three cheers for what we used to be.

 

Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised.

Sleep-walking the mine field.

Sh*t talking, it crumbles around you.

It comes back around.

 

Somewhere between delusion and denial,

You'll drown in your own sympathy.

Profound, at least you thought so at the time,

A ghost of who you used to be.

 

Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised.

Sleep-walking the mine field.

Sh*t talking, it crumbles around you.

It comes back around.

 

Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised.

"Lovers & Friends"

(feat. Usher, Ludacris)

 

[intro - Lil' Jon]

Usher...

Lil' Jon...

Ludacris...

 

[usher (with Lil' Jon)]

Yeah, man

Once again, it's on (It's on)

You know we had to do it again, right?

 

[Lil' Jon]

We had to do it again, boy

Want you to sing to these ladies, man

 

[usher (with vocalizing)]

(Ohh-oh-oh-ohh)

A'ight, so I'm up first? A'ight, lemme have it...

(Ohh-oh-oh-ohh)

Let's do it...

 

[1st Verse - Usher]

Baby, how ya doin'?

Hope that 'cha fine, wanna know what you got in mind,

And I'm,

Got me fiendin' like Jodeci, girl, I can't leave you alone,

Take a shot of this here Petrone' and it's gon' be on,

V.I.P. done got way too crowded,

I'm about to end up callin' it a night,

You should holla at 'cha girl, tell her you shake it the scene,

Pull off, beep-beep, shotgun in the GT with me

She said, "Ohhh-ohhh, I'm ready to ride, yeah,"

"'Cause once you get inside, you can't change your mind,"

"Don't mean to sound impatient, but you gotta promise, baby, ohh..."

 

[Chorus - Usher]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Ohh, I gotta know, baby, aw yeah)

Tell me again (Make sho' you right, ohh, before we leave),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Ohh, it's a good look, baby)...

 

[2nd Verse - Ludacris]

Sometimes wanna be your lover,

Sometimes wanna be your friend,

Sometimes wanna hug ya,

Hold hands, slow-dance while the record spins,

Opened up your heart 'cause you said I made you feel so comfortable,

Used to play back then, now you all grown-up like Rudy Huxtable,

I could be your Bud, you could beat me up,

Play-fight in the dark, then we both make love,

I'd do anything just to feel your butt,

Why you got me so messed up?

I don't know, but you gotta stop trippin',

Be a good girl now, turn around, and get these whippings,

You know you like it like that,

You don't have to fight back,

Here's a pillow - bite...that,

And I'll be settin' seperate plays,

So on all these separate days,

Your legs can go they separate...ways...

 

[Chorus - Usher]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Ohh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again (Tell me over-and-over-and-over again),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Make sho' you right, before you choose)...

 

[3rd Verse - Lil' Jon]

I's been know you fo' a long time (shawty),

But f#&kin' never crossed my mind (shawty),

But tonight, I seen sumthin' in ya (shawty),

That made me wanna get wit 'cha (shawty),

But you ain't been nuttin' but a friend to me (shawty),

And a nigga never ever dreamed to be (shawty),

Up in here, kissin', huggin', squeezin', touchin' (shawty),

Up in the bathtub, rub-a-dubbin' (shawty),

Are you sure you wanna go this route? (shawty),

Let a nigga know before I pull it out (shawty),

I would never ever cross the line (shawty),

Shawty, let me hear ya tell me one mo' time...one mo' time...

 

[Chorus - Usher]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Ohh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again (Make sho' you right, ohh, before we leave),

That we'll be Lovers and Friends (Tell me over-and-over-and-over again)...

 

[Outro - Usher]

Oh-oh-hoo

Oh-oh-hoo

Oh-oh-hoo-ohhhh-yeaaah...

 

[Ludacris (with Lil' Jon)]

Please tell your Lovers and Friends,

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again (Hey!! (Hey!!)

Please tell your Lovers and Friends,

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again, that's right (Hey!! (Hey!!)

Please tell your Lovers and Friends,

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again (Hey!! (Hey!!)...

Rage Against the Machine

 

Settle For Nothing

 

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home

Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on

A world of violent rage

But it's one that I can recognise

Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip

I tried to grip my family

But I slipped

 

To escape from the pain in an existence mundane

I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

 

Read my writing on the wall

No-one's here to catch me when I fall

Death is on my side....suicide!

Caught between my culture and the system....genocide!

 

Read my writing on the wall

No-one's here to catch me when I fall

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face

Yeah!

 

If we don't take action now

Bullet In The Head

 

This time the bullet cold rocked ya

A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika

Nothin' proper about ya propaganda

Fools follow rules when the set commands ya

Said it was blue

When ya blood was read

That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head

 

Blasted through ya head

Blasted through ya head

 

I give a shout out to the living dead

Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised

So serene on the screen

You was mesmerised

Cellular phones soundin' a death tone

Corporations cold

Turn ya to stone before ya realise

 

They load the clip in omnicolour

Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time

The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz

And mutha f#&kas lost their minds

 

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Yeah

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Run it!

 

(Guitar solo)

 

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

 

Check-a, check-a, check it out

They load the clip in omnicolour

Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time

The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz

And mutha f#&kas lost their minds

 

No escape from the mass mind rape

Play it again jack and then rewind the tape

And then play it again and again and again

Until ya mind is locked in

Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya

Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya

They say jump and ya say how high

Ya brain-dead

Ya gotta f#&kin' bullet in ya head

 

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Yeah

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

 

Uggh! Yeah! Yea!

 

Ya standin' in line

Believin' the lies

Ya bowin' down to the flag

Ya gotta bullet in ya head

 

Ya standin' in line

Believin' the lies

Ya bowin' down to the flag

Ya gotta bullet in ya head

 

A bullet in ya head (8 times, building to a shout)

A bullet in ya head (7 times, shouted/screamed)

Ya gotta bullet in ya f#&kin' head!

Yeah!

Yeah! (Sustained to end of drum roll)

just for you

i'd climb the highest mountain

just for you

i'll swim across the sea

just for you

i'll build a monument

so the world can see

what you mean to me....

 

Just for you

Gwen Guthrie

 

It never fails, never

 

Whenever you are near

My heart begins to glow

 

Feeling this way

 

Is so new to me

 

I hope it last forever

 

Cause I need you so.

 

Refrain:

 

Just for you

 

I'd climb the highest mountain

 

Just for you

 

I'd swim across the sea

 

Just for you

 

I'd build a monument

 

So the world can see

 

What you mean to me.

 

 

 

Darling you are

 

You are the one

 

That I've been dreaming 'bout

 

And waiting for so long

 

And I owe you all

 

And so much more

 

Cause you have released my emotions

 

And let them out the door.

 

(back to refrain)

 

 

 

Oh, oh, oh

 

Just for you I'd cross the sea

 

Just for you

 

I'd build a monument

 

So the world can see

 

What you mean to me.

 

Oh, oh,oh

 

I'd climb the highest mountain

 

I'd swim-I'd swim

 

I swim across the sea

 

Just for you

 

I'd build a monument

 

So the world can see

 

What you mean to me.
