Chorus
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there’s a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oh

Verse 2
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then

Chorus
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there’s a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Oh

Interlude
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now

Chorus
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there’s a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Come home

It’s only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning
The breathe before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You’re whole life waiting on the ring to prove you’re not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It’s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breathe before the kiss
And the fear before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La Laa

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lasooed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight

(Repeated in background along the song)
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard

Jay-Z
This is black hoodie rap,
There’s no fear in my eyes where they’re lookin at.
betta look a map
be-sides me not like ta eye fight
me not think such a ting is worth a man’s life, right!
but if a man tests my style,
I promise he won’t like my reply
boom bye bye, like Buju I’m crucial
I’m a Brooklyn boy, I may take some gettin’ used to
change snatchin, ain’t have it, gotta get it
same itd from Brownsville to Bain bridge
fatherless child, mama pulled double shifts
so the number runners was the only one to hang widdeth
before u know it, i’m in the game bang fiddeth
feel no orang utans pid-eel kid-aps like orangeses, i’m dangerous
Please tell me what the name of this

B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!

Jay-Z
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I Jack, I Rob, I sin, I man, I’m Jackie Robinson
‘cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, Luckily they didn’t get me
Now when I bring the Nets I’m the black Branch Ricky
From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn hippie
I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T
with no his-story, in my borough, they borrow
With no intentions of returning tomorrow
The Sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
half orphan, mama never had an abortion
papa sorta did, still I managed to live
I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
now please tell me what the f@#k harder than this?

B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!

Santogold
Well I’m doin my time due to circumstance
Crossed that bridge, face the consequence
Once bid 10, now I payed my dues
Risk takers we break the rules.
Gets so dark, but I see good.
Bedstuy stay high in my neck of the woods.
Now let it rain now, it’s a warning
Brooklyn let it be sworn in
Gotta make you think workin like we blue collar
rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder
right until we quit, bring it to the floor
One step, one step, give it up more
the road is rough and the streets a mess
got big cash dreams and a sick death wish
robbin out the commercial stash
to kill the voice screamin in my head

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard

Go hard, go hard, go hard, go hard … (fade out)

I don’t know why you love me
And that’s why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that’s why I love you [3x]

I neglect you when I’m working
When I need attention I tend to nag
I’m a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I’m a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I’m a queen
You see potential in all my flaws
and that’s exactly what I need.

[Chorus]
I don’t know why you love me
And that’s why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
and that’s why I love you [3x]

[Repeat Chorus]

Where were you
when everything was falling apart?
All my days,
spent by the telephone.
that never rang.
All i needed was a call
that never came.
The corner of First and Amistad…

Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor,
surrounded, surrounded.
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
just a little late…
You found me, you found me

In the end,
everyone ends up alone.
Losing her,
the only one who’s ever known
who i am, who im not, who i wanna be.
The way to know
how long she will be next to me…

Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me.
Lying on the floor,
surround me, surround me.
why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late,
You found me, you found me.

Early morning,
city breaks.
I’ve been calling
for years and years and years and years.
You never left me no messages;
you never send me no letters;
you got some kind of nerve
taking all of our love.

Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
L ying on the floor,
Where were you? Where were you?

Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me.
lying on the floor,
surround me, surround me.
Why’d you have to wait?
Were were you? Where were you?
Just a little late,
you found me, you found me.

Why’d you have to wait,
To find me?
To find me?

Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Tryin’ not to let it show!

I tryed to call you collect
You said you would not accept
Your friends are laughin’ cause
No body uses pay phones

Gave me quarters to select
So I’m on the jukebox again
People dancin’
Shoulda never chose “Girlfriend”

Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
How was I supposed to know?

Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
I’m trying not to let it show!

Crash into the people who’re
Sleepin’ late into the evening
Reach behind they can hardly find their spines

Crash into the people who’re
Sleepin’ late into the evening
Reach behind they can hardly find their spines

Crash into the people who’re
Sleepin’ late into the evening
Reach behind they can hardly find their spines

You said did you lack a cause
I try to feel like I can
It was smokey but it died in your front yard

You find out who’s datin’ who
But when it comes to you
Hope is pullin’ punches
With different ways in my mind

Joe: Dude, they’re totally lookin’ at me.
Kevin: Joe, they’re not lookin’ at you.
Joe: She looked over at me again.
Kevin: No, she didn’t Joe.
Joe: She just waved at me.
Kevin: No, she didn’t.
Nick: Does Joe look obvious staring?
Joe: Why do you think that, dude?
Big Rob: Hey guys, I got a new video shoot for you.
Joe: Oh, awesome.
Nick: Finally.
Kevin: Cool.

[Verse 1]
I’m hot
You’re cold
You go around
Like you know
Who I am
But you don’t
You’ve got me on my toes

[Chorus]
I’m slippin’ into the lava
And I’m tryin’ to keep from going under
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter
‘Cause I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for you baby

C’mon girl

[Verse 2]
I fell (I fell)
So fast (so fast)
Can’t hold myself… back
High heels (high heels)
Red dress (red dress! )
All by yourself
Gotta catch my breath!

[Chorus]
I’m slipping into the lava
And I’m tryin’ to keep from going under
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter
‘Cause I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for you baby

[Bridge]
Walk in the room
All I can see is you
Oh, starin’ me down
I know you feel it too

[Chorus]
I’m slippin’ into the lava
And I’m tryin’ to keep from going under
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter
‘Cause I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for you baby

[Chorus]
I’m slippin’ into the lava
And I’m tryin’ to keep from going under
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter
‘Cause I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for you baby

We’re burnin’ up in the place tonight
Gonna sing it loud

Get up and dance don’t try and fight it

And that’s no lie
[Big Rob]
Stop, drop, and roll

[Chorus]
I’m slippin’ into the lava [Big Rob: Yeah]
And I’m tryin to keep from going under [Big Rob: Yeah]
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter[Big Rob: Yeah come on Nick]
‘Cause I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for you baby
Burnin’ up for you baby

Nick: Wow!
Kevin: Sounds a little dangerous.
Joe: I can’t grow a mustache.

You warned me that you were gonna leave (leave, leave)
I never thought you would really go (go, go)
I was blind but baby now I see (see, see)
Broke your heart but now I know ( now I, now I know)

That I was being such a fool (oooh)
And I didn’t deserve you (oooh)

(CHORUS)
I don’t wanna fall asleep
Cause I don’t know if I’ll get up
And I don’t wanna cause a scene
But I’m dyin’ without your love
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
‘Cause I’d rather just be alone
If I know that I can’t have you

Looking at the letter you that you left
[the letter that you left, will I ever get you back]
Wondering if I’ll ever get you back
[ooh aahp, ooh ahh, ooh aahp, ooh ahh]
Dreaming about when I’ll see you next
[When will I see you next? Will I ever get you back]
Knowing that I never will forget
[I won't forget, I won't forget]

That I was being such a fool (oooh)
Now I still don’t deserve you (oooh)

(CHORUS)
I don’t wanna fall asleep
Cause I don’t know if I’ll get up
And I don’t wanna cause a scene
‘Cause I’m dyin’ without your love
Yeah!
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
‘Cause I’d rather just be alone
If I know that I can’t have you

So tell me what we’re fighting for
Cause you know that truth means so much more
Cause you would if you could, don’t lie (don’t lie)
Cause I give everything that I’ve got left
To show you I mean what I have said
I know I was such a fool
But I can’t live without you (without you)

I don’t wanna fall asleep
Don’t know if I’ll get up
Don’t wanna cause a scene
But I’m dyin’ without your love
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
‘Cause I’d rather just be alone
If I know that I can’t have you

Yeah!

I don’t wanna fall asleep (don’t wanna fall asleep)
Cause I don’t know if I’ll get up (who knows if I’ll get up)
And I don’t wanna cause a scene
‘Cause I’m dyin’ without your love
Yeah!
Begging to hear your voice (let me hear your voice)
Tell me you love me too (tell me you love me too)
‘Cause I’d rather just be alone
If I know that I can’t have you

I’ll Pick you up at 7
We can drive around and see a movie
Every scene will have a Meaning but you’ll be the one That moves me
I’ve been hurt before so baby Promise that your gunna be true

It’s just a sad picture,
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it’s all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history, and your getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I’ll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It’s a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We’ll sing hallelujah
We’ll sing hallelujah
Oh

So you’ve been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair
We’re getting stronger now
From things they never found
They might be bigger, but we’re faster and never scared
You can walk away and say we don’t need this
But there’s something in your eyes, says we can beat this

These things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It’s a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We’ll sing hallelujah
We’ll sing hallelujah
Oh

Tonight we’re standing on our feet
To fight for what we worked for all these years
The battle was long, it’s the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?
It was the night things changed
Can you see it now?
When the walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It’s a revolution, throw your hands up, cause we never gave in
We’ll sing halleluiah
We’ll sing halleluiah
Hallelujah

(People chatting)

Called her for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
Felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say

(CHORUS)
Now I’m speechless, over the edge
I’m just breathless
I never thought that I’d catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I’d get hit by this love bug again

(people chatting)

I can’t get your smile out of my mind
[I can't get you out of my mind]
I think about your eyes all the time
You’re beautiful but you don’t even try
(You don’t even, don’t even try)
Modesty is just so hard to find

(CHORUS)
Now I’m speechless, over the edge
I’m just breathless
I never thought that I’d catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I’d get hit by this love bug again

Kissed her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wished that it would be
Suddenly I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, breathless
Baby can’t you see?

Now I’m…

(Guitar solo)

YEAH, OH

Now I’m speechless, over the edge
I’m just breathless
I never thought that I’d catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I’d get hit by this love bug again
[ohhh]
Love Bug again
[woo!]

(Snaps)
Girl: Omg, did you hear I’m dating a Jonas Brother
It’s SOO hot

That didn’t work you shoulda known better
It’s gonna suck when the camera stops rolling
and you find out soon
that the treatment wasn’t worth it

They’re all the same, they all want the money
They’re all insane, they live for fame, honey
They laugh at you when you’re not even bein’ funny

Well I’ve been
Here before
And I’ve seen
First hand and front row seat
This little thing they call
A video girl (girl, girl)

Video girl who rocked my world
For a whole two seconds
And now I know
I’m not about to be another victim
Of the video girl (syndrome)
Get out of my face
Get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
‘Cause I’m not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Know it bad when your momma doesn’t like her
All your friends are saying she’s a lair
Never ending phone calls aren’t enough
(it’s not enough, it’s never enough)
Move to L.A
Got no talent
Not even like you won a miss teen pagent
Daddy pays your bills but you still whine

I’ve been here before
And I’ve seen
First hand and front row seat
What happens to a man
(what happens to a man)
When he gets in the hands of a

Video girl who rocked my world
For a whole two seconds
And now I know
I’m not about to be another victim
Of the video girl (syndrome)
Get out of my face
Get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
‘Cause I’m not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

You are never gonna see me missin’
(video girl syndrome)
I’m not gonna be another victim of the video girl syndrome

Yeah Oh Woah Oh

Video girl who rocked my world
For a whole two seconds
And now I know
I’m not about to be another victim
(I won’t be a victim)
Of the video girl (syndrome)
Get out of my face
Get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
I’m not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

I won’t be a victim
Of the video girl syndrome

She’s such a flirt
And I am the lonely heart
Give it a chance
For our love to start
But you’ll never see
If you don’t give me a shot
To show you what I’ve got, but

(CHORUS)
It’s too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf
Always someone else
The next guy who will
Make your cold heart melt
I’m gonna give my love to someone else

I held your hand (ah ah)
It felt like a movie
I made some plans (ah ah)
But you were already moving on
Now, I’m stuck under a rainy cloud
But you don’t seem to care
But it’s alright ’cause

(CHORUS)
It’s too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf (yeah)
Always someone else
The next guy who will
Make your cold heart melt
I’m gonna give my love to someone else

I’m tired of wasting all my time
My heart is hanging on the line
Is it me girl or someone else
Please take it off the shelf

(CHORUS)
It’s too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf

La la la la la
La la la la la

Everybody!

Always someone else
The next guy who will
Make your cold heart melt
I’m gonna give my love to someone else
Yeah

Woo oooo

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can’t be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads - heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won’t catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that its all for the best?
Because it is
Mmmm whacha say?
Mmmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whacha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a (you don’t care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
oh no, you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit

It’s not a silly little moment,
It’s not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we’ve been working on.

Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody’s gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw.

I’ll make the most of all the sadness,
You’ll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can’t understand.

We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don’t you?
Go cry about it - why don’t you?
Go cry about it - why don’t you?

My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?

but i have to get what’s mine
oh
i don’t get what’s mine
and you get yours

cos i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
oh i know better than that i know better
you play the victim and i’ll be the bad guy
i know better than that, i know better
(oh) X2

When I thought it’d all been done
when I thought it’d all been said
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine
But you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
And you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low
And every time you smile you laugh you glow
You don’t even know (no, no)
You don’t even know

All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine

Waiting on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine
But you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
And you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low
And every time you smile you laugh you glow
You don’t even know (no, no)
You don’t even know (no, no)
You don’t even know (no, no)

Yeah!

But you don’t what you got till it’s gone,
And you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low, yeah
And every time you smile you laugh you glow
You don’t even know! No!
(come on John!)

So I’ll wait till kingdom come
All the highs and lows are gone
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine
I’ll be… fine

CHORUS:
Caribbean queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run

I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can’t ignore
And passion burns you like never before

I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind

REPEAT CHORUS (3x)

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don’t come knocking around my door
I don’t want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hanging around my door
Don’t want to see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be

I gotta go
I gotta getta away
Think I gotta go
I wanna fly away
I’m gonna leave you woman
I’m gonna leave you woman
I’m gonna leave you woman
I’m gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
American woman
You’re no good for me
I’m no good for you
Looking at you right in the eye
Tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna leave you woman
You know I gotta go
I’m gonna leave you woman
I gotta go
I gotta go

I gotta go
American woman
Yeah

Oh oh i really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won’t you bring
All the flowers you
Find out in the garden
Don’t tell me the truth
That your heart has hardened

But you don’t want me anymore
How can it be
Look what you’ve done to me

Oh oh
Oh oh the bee does quickly sting
I was wondering
If you could maybe darling
Think? I’d give everything
If you’d grant my love a pardon
And all the fruits
Again would fill the garden

But you don’t want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you’ve done to me

Oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh (and so on)

So here we are again
Throwing punch-lines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise
We’re fading fast
We wanna work this out

(CHORUS)
No we’re not gonna work this out tonight
No we’re not gonna make this right
So I’ll give a kiss and say goodbye
[give a kiss and say goodbye]
Cause we’re not gonna work this out tonight

To single words been said [woah oh oh]
Broke each others hearts again [woah oh oohh]
As the starlit sky begins to shine
We’re breaking down
She screams loud

(CHORUS)
No we’re not gonna work this out tonight
No we’re not gonna make this right
So I’ll give a kiss and say goodbye
[give a kiss and say goodbye]
Cause we’re not gonna work this out tonight

We don’t have to fight [tonight 3x]
We just gotta try [tonight 3x]
We’re gonna work this out
We don’t have to fight [tonight 3x]
We just gotta try
TONIGHT

(CHORUS)
No we’re not gonna work this out tonight
No we’re not gonna make this right
So I’ll give a kiss and say goodbye
[give a kiss and say goodbye]
Cause we’re not going to work this out tonight

And to all this fighting, we’re just wasting time [Tonight]
We’re gonna give it a try and get it down and baby your gone [Tonight]
since you’ve been wrong

And all that ends
Tonight.

One day when I came home at lunchtime,
I heard a funny noise.
Went out to the back yard to find out if it was,
One of those rowdy boys.
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter,
And a Flux Capacitor.

He told me he built a time machine.
Like one in a film I’ve seen,
Yeah… he said…

I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

He took me to the future in the flux thing, and I saw everything.
Boy bands, and another one and another one … and another one!
Girls there with round hair like Star Wars float above the floor

We drove around in a time machine,
Like the one in the film I’ve seen..
Yeah… he said…

He said, I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed but they lived under water,
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

I took a trip to the year 3000.
This song had gone multi-platinum.
Everybody bought our 7th album.
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson.
I took a trip to the year 3000.
This song had gone multi-platinum.
Everybody bought our 7th album, 7th album, 7th album.

He told me he built a time machine.
Like the one in a film I’ve seen,
Yeah…

I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

He said, I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

He said, I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

He said, I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine).

[Verse 1]
Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
Take me away like I overdose from cocaine
Take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobaine
Suicide, I’m from a windy city, like “Do or Die”
From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
That was Brooklyn’s jesus shot for no ******’ reason
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces
‘Cause that’s Jesus people and Game needs the equal
Hated on so much, “Passion of Christ” need a sequel
Yeah, like Roc-a-fella needed Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle
I need some meditation, so I can leave my people
They askin’ “Why?” Why John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hood ***** feed of evil?
Answer my question for this bullet leave this Desert Eagle

[Verse 2]
We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my phantom doors with caution
You see them 24’s spinnin’? I earned ‘em
And all the pictures of me and Em - I burnt ‘em
So there ain’t no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile
And since there ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile
Sometimes I think about my life with my face down
Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile
Damn, I know his moma’s proud
And since you helped me sell my dream, we can share my momma now
And like MJB, no more drama now
Livin’ the good life, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack and ****** could drive it outta town
Gotta Chris Paul mind state, I’m never outta bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds

[Verse 3]
Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
With the hot beams on, me and the devil sharin chronic blunts
Listenin’ to the “Chronic” album, playing backwards
shootin at pictures of Don Imus for target practice
My mind ****** up, so I covered it with a raider hood
I’m from the city that made you motherfuckers afraid of Suge
Made my grandmother pray for good
And never made her happy, when I bet that new Mercedes could
Ain’t no bars, but ****** can’t escape the hood
They took so many of my ****** that I should hate the hood
But it’s real ****** like me that make the hood
Ridin’ slow with that Phantom just the way I should
With the top back in my Sox hat
Im paid in full, the ***** alpo(?) coudnt stop that
Even if they brought the ***** ‘Pac back
I’d still keep this ************ ****** back

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn’t feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I’d be wishing you were here
To be everything that I’d be looking for
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again

Oh Oh Ohhhhh

How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it’s everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You’re beside me
I’m so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don’t really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you’ll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you’ll never see me again
(like you’ll never see me again)

Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Every week’s the same
Stuck in school, so lame
My parents say that I’m lazy
Getting up at 8, is crazy
Tired being told what to do
So unfair
So uncool

Day’s too long
And I’m holding on
Till I hear the bell ring
Cause it’s the time when, the time when

We’re gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We’re gonna stay out,
Gonna break some hearts,
We’re gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-Oh! all over again,

We’re gonna wake up,
Everyone we know ,
We’re gonna have some fun,
Gonna lose control,
Feels so good, to let go-oh-oh

Hangin’ out is just something we like to do
With my friends and the mess we get into,
These are the lessons that we choose
Not a buck for the things we’ll never use

The day’s too long
and I’m holding on
Till I hear the bell ring
Cause it’s the time when, the time when

We’re gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We’re gonna stay out,
gonna break some hearts,
we’re gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-Oh! all over again,

We’re gonna breakout,
Everyone we know,
We’re gonna have some fun,
We’re gonna lose control,
It feels so good,to let go

I wish it would never end
Spendin’ time with my friend
Oh, with my friends

We’re gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We’re gonna stay out,
gonna break some hearts,
We’re gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-Oh! all over again,

We’re gonna wake up,
Everyone we know,
We’re gonna have some fun,
We’re gonna lose control,
It feels so good,to let go

We’re gonna breakout,
Let the party start,
We’re gonna stay out,
gonna break some hearts,
We’re gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart,
Uh-Oh! all over again,

We’re gonna wake up,
Everyone we know,
We’re gonna have some fun,
We’re gonna lose control,
It feels so good,to let go

Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine

And fall off the table, get swept under

Denial, denial

The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight

Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine

Fall off the table, get swept under

Denial, denial
Denial, denial

Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning

Verse:
Yo. Lil girls in the city. Dress up pretty.
Go out and get messed up and shitty.
Girls by the sea, dress like hippies. And write love beads and go skinny dippin’.
Girls in the hills, go day trippin. To get their nails done, and hair straighten.
Lil girls in the 818. Get hot when I roll over laurel canyon.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
She walk slow down the avenue.
I ain’t met her, but I get her when I do.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
She stay at home cause she hate the club.
Baby but, pretty little features.
I ain’t met her but I’ll get her when I see her.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don’t like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Girls in New York look like giraffes.
Long neck, long legs, tiny tits and ass.
Girls from L.A rock oversized shades.
And chill all day cause they already payed.
Girls in Miami. Street bikinis.
Bump techno by Dj Tiesto.
Girls from Detroit Like electro. And dance all night till they break they neck, yo.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don’t like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.
And if your brother don’t like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Now if you lookin for love, won’t you put you hands up.
(if you lookin for love, won’t you put you hands up.)
If you lookin for love then I’m lookin for love.
(If you lookin for love then I’m lookin for love.)
Now if you lookin for love, won’t you put you hands up.
(if you lookin for love, won’t you put you hands up.)
Now, if you lookin for love then I’m lookin for love, huh. And this is what I’m lookin for.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
She walk slow down the avenue.
I ain’t met her, but I get her when I do.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
She stay at home cause she hate the club.
Baby but, pretty little features.
I ain’t met her but I’ll get her when I see her.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don’t like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your sandy beach.
And if your brother don’t like my style.
We could could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street

Chorus:
Pushing me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
You try to stop now but it’s already to late
Pushing me away
If you really don’t care just say it to my face
Pushing me away
Push push pushing me away

Stop! Tell me the truth
Cause I’m so confused
Spinning round these walls are falling down and I need you
More than you know, I’m not letting go
I’m getting close, so take my hand
And please just tell me why

[Chorus]

Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away

[Chorus]

Pushing me away

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
