I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin' and the rain was gettin' deep
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
'Cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin' back to you
 
I don't know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now you're gone, and
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely I've got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing that's on my mind, is standing in your shoes
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
You'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
 
Ooh, you'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
 
And I'm so tired of gettin' nowhere
Wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin'
Tired of gettin', tired of gettin' nowhere
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, so real tired of gettin' nowhere
Tired of gettin' nowhere, tired, tired of gettin'
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, ooh yeah, won't you say it, ooh yeah
Tired of gettin' nowhere fast - get some rest!
 

Standing by the roadside
Old newspaper in my hand
Reading yesterday's headlines
Nothing new, I said it's all the same
Everywhere!
I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
Twenty five years of anticipating
I've seen changes in my land
 
People I'm here to tell you
I've been around since the world began
Well, mr. politician, reform me if you can
I'm an anti-establishment man
I'm tired of your treating
All of my children the same
Everywhere!
Spending all that money
On a stupid war in vietnam
(when we need it at home)
 
People I'm here to tell you
I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)
Well, mr. politician, reform me if you can
I'm an anti-establishment man
 

Well now the stars are falling

Walking all alone in the dead end, the gypsy wants us all around, yeah
I took your fare, I paid your party
There's a hell to spent above these clowns, oh hey hey
 
And nobody knows where we're going too far
Something for sure or we got it booted, oh hey!
 
Down to the tough sweet mountain, yeah
There's a psychic woman under in Old North
Do y'all wanna set this speed off, baby?
I persuade you don't I have my fill? Oh hey hey
 
And nobody knows where we're going too far, yeah
Something was sure or we gotta do, oh hey!
Maybe we got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no
She shoved all our batch end

We flew into town on Sunday
Had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport
Found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
Yeah
 
Saugatuck River's flowin'
Mother Nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do
Get on, baby
 
We met a young girl on Main Street
Wanted just to pass her by
She was homely but so lonely
She said, 'Can I make love to you?'
We shouted, '157 Riverside Avenue'
Alright
 
It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving
Such a pleasant stay, I must say
So nice, so easy
We hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue, yeah
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo, come on, babe
That's right, aw yeah
Move over, honey
 

I've played your game
And I've played it well
I'll be another fool
To hang upon your wall
I laid my heart out
Like an open book
It's a simple thing and don't take much
To crack it open and bleed
 
Lay me down
Lay me down when you're through with me
Lay me down
Let me bleed when you're through with me
Don't let me think you're wrong
Just let me fall down
I'll pick myself up again
It's the kindest thing you can do for me
So, woman, won't you lay me down
 
I lied to myself
Tried to believe in you
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
'Til my eyes can't see any good
Yeah!
 

Sophisticated Lady try'n to change my ways
Just because you're caught in your social maze
I think it's about time that you realize
Your money and your power's got you mesmerized
Pretty Lady
Get Back
Pretty Lady
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
 
Educated lady with your college degree
Amazes me why you just can't see
Learned ev'rything from your books on the shelf
But no one ever taught you how to think for yourself
Pretty Lady
Get Back
Pretty Lady, Sweet thing
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
 
Sophisticated Lady , take a lesson from me
I can help you be what you want to be
Together we'll see many brighter days
If it takes forever, gonna change your ways. Pretty Lady
Sweet Thing
Pretty Lady
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
 

Five men were killed today
Leaving five wives as widows
Six men they tried to kill
Maybe one will live to raise his son
I've tried so hard
 
To tell you what went wrong
Been fighting for so many years
For something so very wrong
When will man ever learn
That happiness is his to be earned?
 

Strumming down the river, the moonlight would shiver
Are hurting me with dance in my eyes
Im on the other side, theyre gonna have them videos
Back and back to their side
Like tears to a mouse, a biting to a clam
I was tracking to the opposite shore
A passion from a dead man, playing, burning, biting
Life from limping eyes, yeah
 
Theres an object of the story, dont mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, dont mess with the prison women
 
When momma wouldve done it, I tell ygon have to do me
Does dancin ever come again?
They came to decision and you got your body new yall
Cross that never lose it, oh
This going much too easy, all these women try to please me
Nothing seems to going wrong
Im on the other side

I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
Well there she is again
Standin' over by the record machine
Well she looks like a model
On the cover of a magazine
But she's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen
 
Meanwhile I was thinkin'
 
Well if she's in the mood
No need to break it
I got the chance and I oughta take it
If she can dance we can make it
C'mon queenie let's shake it
 
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
 
Won't someone tell me
Who's the queen standin' over by the record machine
Well she looks like a model
On the cover of a magazine
But she's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen
 
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
 
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin', hmmmm
Well if it's a slow one
We'll omit it
If it's a rocker, then we'll get it
If it's a good one, she'll admit it
C'mon queenie, let's get with it
 
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
 
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
 

[Verse 1]
I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again
Standing over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Meanwhile I was thinking...
Well if she's in the mood
No need to break it
I got the chance, and I oughta take it
If she'll dance, then we can make it
Come on queenie, let's shake it
 
[Chorus]
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
 
[Verse 2]
Tell me, who's the queen
Standing over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin' ...
If it's a slow song, we'll omit it
If it's a rocker, that'll get it
And if it's good, she'll admit it
C'mon queenie, let's get with it
 
[Chorus]
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
 
[Electric Guitar Outro]
 

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep, 'Don't let the morning take him'
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving
 
It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long, and now you're leaving
Oh please, don't take it all away
 
It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long, and now you're leaving
Oh please, don't take it all away
 
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep, 'Don't let the morning take him'
 

[Verse 1]
Can't spend another night alone
So I been out but I ain't been bad
You're the one I wanna come home to
But you're packed up, picked up, peaced out, man
Here's a little ditty just to keep you warm
And when it gets cold, drink your whiskey Coke
Could be a play keeping you satisfied
But I am another bruise you have to hide
 
[Chorus]
I'll be a good girl, I'll be your everything
Just give me one more try, just one more night
Give me one more try, just one more night (Ooh)
To change your mind
 
[Verse 2]
Your sensibility's all wrong
You take, take, take and then you get gone
Could follow your tracks to the ocean
Big body water of emotion
 
[Chorus]
But I'll be a good girl, I'll be your everything
Just give me one more try, just one more night
Give me one more try, just one more night (Ooh)
To change your mind
 
[Post Chorus]
I can change your mind
I can change your mind
I can change your mind
I can change your mind
I can change your mind
I can change your mind
I can change your mind (I can change your mind)
I can change your mind (I can change your mind)
I can change your mind (I can change your mind)
 
[Outro]
Mmh, mmh, mmh
 

[Verse 1]
In Paris they say good morning
In LA they say good night
Getting lost inside this city
Wishing you were here by my side
 
[Pre Chorus]
I hope you know where you're going, but you're just as lost as me
And you walk with such conviction and I'm eyes-closed following
 
[Chorus]
And it's a black coffee morning on the East Side
And you're smoking on the balcony
Talking some shit about a good time
And making me happy
 
[Post Chorus]
Oh, play it again for me
Big bright moon in the sky
And give me one more night with my baby
And that'll be alright
 
[Verse 2]
I can see from here
It's raining on my house
And it's windy on the mountain
Tastes salty in my mouth
 
[Pre Chorus 2]
Just too tall to comfort
Just too big to hold
But I'll fit you inside my future
At least that's the lie we told
 
[Chorus]
And it's a black coffee morning on the East Side
And I'm singing all the time today
Cause you're saying that you love me with your big eyes
But your words don't come out that way
 
[Post Chorus]
Oh, play it again for me
Big bright moon in the sky
And give me one more night with my baby
And that'll be alright
 
[Outro]
Oh, play it again for me
Big bright moon in the sky
And give me one more night with my baby
Oh, and that'll be alright
 

[Verse 1]
Someone's telling lies in the factory
I can hear them ticking down the line
Feels mean like gasoline
Kill the bad wolf and all his sheep
Build a rocket and see the sun
Leave out your toys, let them know you’re gone
Show your tongue through your broken teeth
No rules in emergencies
 
[Chorus]
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you're gone
Did you ever mean to be so mean?
There's red running through your cheeks
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you’re gone
Did you ever mean to be so mean?
These words bring me to my knees
 
[Verse 2]
Someones' telling secrets and breaking glass
Got myself a live wire here in the shower and
Do I even wanna ask?
Tilt one back, better talk real fast
Throw out your anchor and watch it catch
Salt screams, don't you know these things reveal themselves?
Oh sailor, don't you know you roam alone?
 
[Chorus]
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you're gone
Did you ever mean to be so mean?
There's red running through your cheeks
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you're gone
Did you ever mean to be so mean?
These words bring me to my knees
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you're gone
Did you ever mean to be so mean?
There’s red running through your cheeks
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you’re gone
Oh, you're gone
 
[Bridge]
It’s two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
It's two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
And only one survives
It's two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
And only one survives
Two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
Two of us all the way home
And only one survives
 
[Chorus]
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you're gone
I fought and I lost, I trusted but you’re gone
Oh and only one survives
 

[Verse 1]
Nicotine jaw (Aah) and cracks in the walls (Aah)
Don't touch me, I'm raw
I've got the words on the tip of my tongue but they're wrong
(Honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker)
I make up my mind (Aah) but I can't say goodbye (Aah)
I sink into my side
The words you spoke they're with me all night
 
[Chorus]
Oh honey, you're a heartbreaker
A pretty little persuader
Will you find your true flavor
Or sample 'til there's silence by your side
(Honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker)
 
[Verse 2]
It's not like before (Aah)
I wear out the floor (Aah)
I run 'til I'm sore
Can we learn a lesson we've learned before?
(Honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker)
Can I change my blood? (Aah)
Can I rise above? (Aah)
Can you wade through love and come out clean?
 
[Chorus]
Oh honey, you're a heartbreaker
A pretty little persuader
Will you find your true flavor
Or sample 'til there's silence by your side
 
[Outro]
(Honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker, honey heartbreaker)
 

('Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. You know what I say? I say, time is a crook.”)
 
I went out with my umbrella, it looked a little grim
The sky was black, the air was cold, the day was gray and dim
But as I strolled towards my goal, the sun burst through the clouds
I threw down my umbrella and then I cried out loud
 
Oh! The future is a past that hasn't happened yet
And everybody knows that what you see is what you get
But the movies in your mind is a place you cannot find
And if you see ahead, you are missing your behind
 
I drove out to the airport, I tried not to be late
But I was very nervous as I walked up to the gate
I dreamed I saw an albatross that soared across the sky
And then I heard our plane had crashed and everyone had died
 
Oh! The future is a past that hasn't happened yet
And everybody knows that what you see is what you get
But the movies in your mind is a place you cannot find
And if you look ahead, you are missing your behind
 
I learned I had a tumor, I knew that I would die
I made a will, I took a pill, and prayed to God on high
But when I walked toward the light, I learned the truth at last
I'd been born in my own colon and the world was up my ass
 
Oh! The future is a past that hasn't happened yet
And everybody knows that what you see is what you get
But the movies in your mind are a place you cannot find
And if you look ahead, you are missing your behind
 
I don't want no more of army life
Gee, mom, I wanna go back to Ontario
Gee, mom, I wanna go home
 

Bags in your hand as you kiss me
Tellin' me you're gonna miss me
Promise you'll be on your best behavior
Give me your flight information
Call when you land, say you made it
Sweet little me told you 'Go have a good time'
 
I didn't mean forget about me
Ridin' in a yellow taxi
Who the hell are you on your way to?
 
You said I was yours
Maybe just on the West Coast
'Cause as soon as you left home
You got wandering eyes
So I guess you lied
When you said I was special
You're not as smart
As you think you are
Baby, I know about the girl in New York
 
Who the hеll is she
Taking you from me?
Baby, I know about the girl in Nеw York
 
I know there's always temptation
Guess I'm a little more patient
Baby, I've been on my best behavior
Fuck you for making me crazy
While you buy her drinks out on Eighth Street
Sweet little you showing her such a good time
 
You easily forget about me
Ridin' in a yellow taxi
Back to your hotel, and she's coming with you
 
You said I was yours
Maybe just on the West Coast
'Cause as soon as you left home
You got wandering eyes
So I guess you lied
When you said I was special
You're not as smart
As you think you are
Baby, I know about the girl in New York
 
Who the hell is she
Taking you from me?
Baby, I know about the girl in New York
Who the hell is she
Taking you from me?
Baby, I know about the girl in New York
 

[Verse 1]
Sit where you please, baby I'm coming down
Take up the warm side of the room, for now
This is where I sleep and this is what I am
You don't know anything about what I, I can do
 
[Chorus]
I hope you like a liar with her eyes closed shut
I hope you like a lover with her hands drawn up
I hope you like the taste of how it feels to be wrong
'Cause you are and you don't know me at all
 
[Verse 2]
Walk on your way
And take all your second chances back
Learn not to say and just to do, oh you do
'Cause this world's alone
And we've closed the playground, please go home
Go on and watch your friends on the nightly news
 
[Chorus]
I hope you like a liar with her eyes closed shut
I hope you like a lover with her hands drawn up
I hope you like the taste of how it feels to be wrong
'Cause you are and you don't know me at all
(You don't know me at all)
 
[Bridge]
He said he really likes it when I lie, lie, lie
He said he really likes it when I lie, lie, lie
He said he really likes it when I lie, lie, lie
He said he really likes it when I lie
'Cause I could watch you lie, lie, lie
For my whole life, life, life
Lie, lie, lie
For my whole life, life
 
[Chorus]
I hope you like a liar with her eyes closed shut
I hope you like a lover with her hands drawn up
I hope you like the taste of how it feels to be wrong
'Cause you are and you don't know me at all
 

Recently I've been thinkin' about what I am and where my priorities lie
Gettin' it together on some future plan, decidin' what I need to get by
I tried workin' and schoolin' but they're just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
 
Well I could be pickin' bluegrass or singin' the blues
It doesn't really matter to me
As long as I'm playin' the music I just can't lose
And no one's gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin' right here in my hands, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
 
Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her I'm just goin' through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin' but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Yeah
 
Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her that I'm goin' through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin' but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
 
Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been tryin' to tell me what I am, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah
 

I've been on the road now for a day and a night
I've been lonesome and hungry for miles
I've seen how you people been lookin' your lies
I'm gonna kill y'all with your own smiles
But I wish that y'all could get a look at the news
And see what the man's puttn' down
Well I gotta hold a one yesterday night
And they threw me outta this town, oh yeah
Well it's gonna be awhile before I get home
But when I do that's the end of my roamin'
Cause I've been gone a lifetime and I can't believe
That the people I trust still can deceive
By the time I get back here things have to change
Cause if they don't there's gonna be alot of strange
Lookin' people marchin' round, clappin' their hands
And they won't stop 'til everyone understands
 
Oh yeah
Let me ride, let me ride
Let me ride now, let me ride now, yeah
 
Livin's just like sleepin'
Why is life not like a dream
Now the dawn is weepin'
Another sunlight sees
Oh I've been here too long now
I got to go outside
Ya people gotta let me ride
 
Let me ride, ride, ride
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
 
Ya people gotta let me ride
Let me ride, ride, ride
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
I got to feel free inside
 

[Интро]
И мы не помним (И мы не помним)
Она не боится (Она не боится)
Она танцует (Она танцует)
Сегодня только среда, а я уже в никуда
И только завтра с утра, я усну
И, да, я знаю места, где я мега звезда
И я поеду туда и проснусь
 
[Куплет 1]
О боже, помоги мне найти свой напиток
Где мои ключи? Я потеряла мобильник
Толпа танцует, лица размазаны
Кто включил мой любимый трек? Я не заказывала
Я прорываюсь среди сотни людей
На двух моих пальцах уже нету ногтей
Моя сумка лежит там, где играет диджей
Я должна её забрать, там миллионы рублей
 
[Предприпев]
Моя подруга говорит грубо
И мы не помним название клуба
Она не боится выглядеть тупо
Она танцует и на ней шуба
Для наших луков нужна цензура
Когда я на сцене — вверх температура
Она не стесняется своей фигуры
И мы кидаем на баре купюры
 
[Припев]
Сегодня только среда, а я уже в никуда
И только завтра с утра, я усну
Да, я знаю места, где я мега звезда
И я поеду туда, и проснусь
 
[Бридж]
Да, да, да
Я усну
И-И проснусь
 
[Куплет 2]
Завтра ей вставать на работу
Она ведёт себя так, будто сегодня суббота
Вокруг неё всегда куча народу
Ей по— на чужие доходы
За деньги да, эта она, она тусит тут до утра
Но всё изменилось, теперь она королева
Она сегодня отдыхает так
 
[Бридж]
Да, да, да
Я усну
 
[Припев]
Сегодня только среда, а я уже в никуда
И только завтра с утра, я усну
Да, я знаю места, где я мега звезда
И я поеду туда, и проснусь
И-И проснусь, и проснусь
 

Telephone girl talkin' to her mother's voice
Yet she knows these days will soon be gone
Cadillac crews take the band away tonight
Ain't it funny how the story goes
It's a dream I had playin' music in my band
It's a dream I had to be happy with the woman I love
Well the dreams came true
And I'm laughing at you
For saying I'm a fool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
Ain't it funny how the story goes
Hollywood queen lookin' from her lacy tomb
It's strange to know that I can laugh at you
Flash guitar instead of an architects tool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
It's a dream I had playin' music in a band
Well the dreams came true
And I'm laughing at you
For saying I'm a fool
For sayin' I'm a fool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
Ain't it funny how the story goes
 

A grey ghost night
On an Eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again
The towns top gun
Safe at number one
No man's will can change my life
Safe and certain
But now I'm hurtin'
So what can I do to get you
 
Back in my heart again
Blowin' through my life
Life a cold winters wind
Now in my mind I know I didn't win
I want you back in my heart again
 
Baby, baby
What can I say
I was wrong so I ran away
A million miles
Won't make me smile
I want you, want you, want you

Pickin' locks and, ditchin' cops
And robberies, goes on, robbin′ sprees
He′s the, he's the man, here′s the plan
Remember the bank, we met at before
Well, he headed back to make a withdrawel
 
[Chorus 2X: Savoy (Killah Priest)]
It's about to be a robbery (damn right, I′mma get it)
It's about to be a robbery (damn right, I′mma get it)
We about to catch a body (damn right, I'mma get it)
We about to catch a body (damn right, I'mma get it)
 
[Elephant Man]
Take the cash, take the dough like my nigga Robin Hood
Then me take the money, buy a big house in the Hollywood
It′s tally good, rob that nigga, be and say all good
Give back to the project, cuz we should
Eighteen, forty like, he met thee, only we make the money
We pilot off, pilot off, been at the bank, we not the money
We not bummy, roll ′em tree, I'm not funny
We climb it, y′all no homey, give thanks
Show me a car ruff, where we walk, the money that we make
Man off the chauffeur, not until we gettin' it
Know people, bilingual, we not to run we life, we wreck
The only thing can top off, knowin′ our thing is our debt
And my friend, Killah Priest, don't own a private jet
Because of friend, those and thousand
Droop it, that told me write rhyme, me write check
You not like, Killah Priest and the Elephant Man, come on!
 
[Chorus 2X]
 
[Killah Priest]
Told the teller, feel the bags
Had the mack, pointin′ at the glass
Hurry up, you're movin' slow
Time is money and I got to go
Grab the bags, head for the door
Backin′ out, clutchin′ the dog
We heard sirens, dashed to the ride
Any cop we see, open fire
Cop car, swung around the block
My man Rock, opened up shots
My homey Lace, real nutty case
Said let's get it on, fuck a chase
Women screamin′, grabbin' they kids
My homey Lace, flashin′ the shit
Laughin' and shit, homey is sick
Look at Sharod, said let′s go
Four desperadoes, holdin' the dough
Make a left, yo, make a right
Head straight, though, watch those lights
We're in the hideout, laughin′ it up
Watchin′ the news, about the bank we stuck (it's a robbery!)
 
[Chorus 2X]
 
[Elephant Man]
You know! You like an engineer warrior, laser beam carrier
We tear on any bank or done broke any barrier
Nuclear taxin′ like Whitney or Mariah
We either come together, one that never ponder
Any face the project loss and only cuz he get that
Better you felt on the navy, you felt on the army, the undertaker
Marine, agile list the, that this one, we be later
Killah Priest, boy, I heft it on, yup!
You rule it on them, them they know who we are
Plus we get the paper, we ready for Jaguar
Fly rim or swim, we drive me a car
Either you done a movie, or you a movie star
You can come again, or you can travel me again
Hire like them and then I did it again
 

[Intro: sample]
I know how tough it is *gunshot*
 
[Killah Priest]
My life flashes, I′m eight years old, my face stares cold
At the pastor, as he picks up the robe
He reads a chapter, his voice is like, grabbin' my soul
The seeds turn blacker and finally it fades out slow
The hearing after, a whole brand new screen show
I hear laughter, it′s my birthday, I'm eighteen years old
I'm on gates between Monroe, eight fiends and young hoes
The flake dreams with gun blows, wake screams and blunt rose
Up, they lit it, some hit it, I′m drunk
So much, that I can′t see straight
Another flash, I'm in a fancy place
A waiter walks over, hands me a plate
I trance it to escape, but it′s too late
I shoot my casket, my moms screamin' bastard
Ya′ll know who killed them, filled them with them lugers
Ruger, you God damn hoodlums
But it's too late, I see the king in the New Jerusalem
I can touch the gates
 
[Chorus 2X: Savoy]
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain′t no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day, I dream it feels like a nation, listen
 
[Killah Priest]
Was this my fate, to be judged in this place
Angels watchin' me, I step up to plead my case
I see his face in black space, okay let me back space
Somethin' went front between that gat and my waste
Somethin′ went wrong between the slow reaction when they were clappin′ my way
Is this the judgment, the place where every thug has been
After hearin' gun fire, and slugs go in
Are you the chosen, or the one known as the omen
The gates are open, I wanna know where I′m going
Is this the place I was destined to come, I slept in the slums
Next to a bum, saw death pestilence and guns
I was born cold naked and young
Mouth open, rings slashin' off of cardboard, wettin′ my tongue
We prayed for the shepherd to come
I was called a monster, I was a youngster
Crawlin' out the dumpster, toes were bloody, clothes we muddy
Eyes were crummy, peeped to the skies above me
Cried I′m ugly, found out this life don't love me
Despised by the country, paralyzed in my one knee
Talked to the most high, Priest, hug me, real, real
 
[Chorus 2X]
 
[Interlude: Savoy]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Priesthood, Savoy Murda
G-13, what's poppin′, oh, no, no, no
No, it′s real, it's real
It′s real, just sing it when it's real
It′s real, it's real, it′s real, it's real
 
[Chorus 2X]
 

[Intro: Killah Priest]
You know this beat is crazy, right
This the beat right here, yo
They gonna love this when they hear this, g
 
[Chorus: Killah Priest]
A lot of these rappers are indecisive
Ya′ll comin' to this game, like ya′ll the nicest
But, anyway, get rich, get brain
Get off the wall and do the damn thing
Get off the floor and do the damn thing
Get off the floor and do the damn thing
 
[Killah Priest]
Silly rappers, when will you learn
You play with fire and you will get burned
Cuz now, I've been low, lately, waitin' my turn
Turn off my radio cuz I′m not concerned with ya′ll
Weak rhymes, same topics
This one's for the streets, for the projects
For my g′s with the weed in the apartments
For my dogs in the law hit with charges
Fuck them, cuz I love ya'll regardless
For my chicks in the whips dancin′ bra-less
Hair done, nice face, lookin' flawless
I got that thing, bust off, lead objects
Ya′ll cats are lame, no threat, it's a promise
Name your favorite rapper, well, he's fake
And you fake, that′s why you fuck with his tape
I′ll take that thing and just bust in your face
You're not real, same flow, no style
I pop steel, lames, no know who go down
And I don′t give a fuck, who run the city or not
Cuz the streets is real, even Biggie got Pac
And I love those niggas, but I don't love ya′ll
Bust a slug for those niggas, but bust a slug at ya'll
And I get physical, visual, very artistical
Givin′ party people something, funky to listen to
Hizza, hey, my rhymes is blizza, blazed
Cross your fizza, face, down to your waist
Raps, I do this, since the music influence the truest
I shoot 'em with rhymes, execute 'em with lines
They knew since their kind is all stupid
Beats we loop it then they cue it, they foolish
And I stand to prove it this time, come on
 
[Chorus]
 
[Hook: Killah Priest]
Cuz it′s new year, best to come correct
I ain′t hear a style that I can't do yet
I ain′t hear a rapper, that I can't move yet
Get off the wall and do the damn thing
Get on the floor and do the damn thing
 
[Killah Priest]
I see it, then write it, believe it, I′m psychic
The nicest is here, the rest of those cats
They was last year, well do something...
I heard it, the beefs, the murders, the streets
The cursin', that′s weak, do something
Different, for instance, the Priest is brief
A technique, I proves my point, with the pen and some gin
Thoughts and beats, I'm blendin' it in
My records will spin, everybody knows the kid can flow
Rip a show, or lift a soul, but this time, I gets that dough
Plus I′m not, 50, or Biggie, or Diddy
I′m Witty Unpredictable, lyrical masterful mind
Chapters of rhymes, irresistible lines, metaphors is clever than yours
Sever your jaws, I'm ready for war
Like Pac in his Makaveli era, ready for ya′ll, with a glock
And rap to spread to deadly terror, I squeeze on this whole industry
Enemies please don't sit with me
I sit with these and cats with keys
Cash and V′s, black fatigues, smack M.C.'s, it′s over!
 
[Chorus]
 
[Hook]
 

[Intro: Killah Priest (sample)]
That′s it, it's war
Priesthood, Priest
(Mother Earth was pregnant from third thing
Your in lock with it, I have tasted
The maggots of the man, I was no up in this
But I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in all shit)
Priest, Proverbs, hahaha
Ya′ll cats think I was just gonna come off, and I don't get none
Thought ya'll wasn′t hear from me again, right?
That′s right baby, Killah Priest, Priesthood, Priest Stone
Knowhatimean? Priesthood, yeah, uh
Yeah, yeah, this is Priest, yo, Killah Priest, Priest Stone, Priesthood
Back for good, knowhatimean? Thought ya'll wasn′t gonna hear from me again
Now I gotta scream on everybody (family) everybody battlin'
Battlin′ in the street, whatever, check this out, yo
 
[Killah Priest]
It's Priest standin′ in his greatness, God's favorite
I rock the Star like King David, my Queens bath it
I walk past, they start wavin'
Each arm, a thousand bracelets, face it, I′m the greatest
Made women drunk from the royal fragrance
I rock the latest in fashion, my jewelry flashin′
In other countries, they can hear my magnums
When they blastin', I heard they sound like thunder clappin′
Hit you in your stomach, watch you start gaggin'
Who gives a fuck if you′re platinum?
If you're lyin′ in a wooden casket
For good, now that's Hood...
 
[Chorus: Killah Priest]
Yo, every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess
Enemies lie down while I'm clutchin′ my tech
It′s on, the Priest, the Prophet, the King, the God
The sun, you see him quickly when I'm poppin′ my gun
It's on...
 
[Killah Priest]
Thou shall fear me, only as thou′se been guilty
Feel me, sincerely yours, Priest, now industry tried to kill me
Before sat at tables, like the Savior at The Last Supper
Amongst nine rap lovers, three crack hustlers, with gats covered
Peep my last words, in the Proverbs, observe me
If you're worthy, I ′member your ass show
When ya'll was wet and cold, I cover ya'll with robes
Gave ya′ll flows, when ya′ll give ya'll soul
I gave ya′ll flesh, covered ya'll bones
Breathed in you, sat ya′ll in thrones
Now ya'll betrayed me, I raised thee from babies
To ya′ll were grown men
For your birthday, I gave ya'll your own pen
To write with, beware of vipers, and snakes and biters
I taught ya'll about the depths of words and dark sentences
Now ya′ll don′t remember shit, but try to mimic it
When I see my crown, just give me it, it's mine
Seek your own rhyme, it′s on, seek your own rhymes, come on!
 
[Chorus]
 
[Killah Priest]
I lay rappers down, with the mac or the pound
Pop 'em, stretch ′em out with they backs to the ground
Leave 'em lost in the woods, gotta find them with hounds
My four five′ll turn a nigga from fatigues to bow-ties, no lie
Put a nigga close by, the Most High
Or he's a Dream Catcher, the Indian myth, pick one
Semi or fifth, your shell get hit, ladies spell my shit
A-D-D, I-C-T, I-V-E, lick your lips, come try me
Contestants, hook 'em up to I.V.
In hospital, I pop pistols, fellas get ya hit like Hot Nikkels
Killah Priest, the Priest Stone, or High Priest, I pop three
Leave rappers in memory, the winner be me
Priesthood, A.K.A. Body, yo
 
[Chorus 2X]
 

When I run run run to the water my legs will carry me on
When I swim my search a little deeper the depth will make me strong
 
And I don′t wait for time to change
But your words are stuck in my head
And I can leave before I know
What you meant last night when you said
 
All that letters is in bold
I'm not sold
This is ordinary love
This is ordinary love love love love
 
Woah oh oh ... x3
Love love love
 
Love love love
 

You′re no slow,
But I took your time, took my heart.
Why won't you show me what you want? What you got?
It′s a long road, to be frank, I won't fade,
But something's pulling me away.
 
You just come and go, just as you please.
No don′t mind me, I′ve had enough,
To do with your incentives chasing my own tail and missing.
 
Back and fourth, I'm at your door,
And I′m waiting, for something.
24/7 I'm out here begging,
Well I′m done,
I'm done.
 
Back and fourth, you lead me on.
Am I crazy for waiting?
I can do better, baby,
I can see clear,
′Cause when I'm done,
Yeah I'm done.
 
High times, highly rollin′.
Make your move, for the game.
Don′t be shy to prove yourself to make another day.
It's a long shot,
I know we′re not the same.
But still I think I wanna play.
 
You just come and go, just as you please.
No don't mind me, I′ve had enough,
To do with your emotions.
Now I'm down the road to nowhere.
 
Back and fourth, I′m at your door,
And I'm waiting, for something.
24/7 I'm out here begging,
Well I′m done,
I′m done.
 
Back and fourth, you lead me on.
Am I crazy for waiting?
I can do better, baby,
I can see clear,
'Cause when I′m done,
Yeah I'm done.
 
Back and fourth, I′m at your door,
And I'm waiting, for something.
24/7 I′m out here begging,
Well I'm done,
I'm done.
 
Back and fourth, you lead me on.
Am I crazy for waiting?
I can do better, baby,
I can see clear,
′Cause when I′m done,
Yeah I'm done.
 

Sleeping on the subway,
I see your face in the dark
The minute that I′ll wake up,
I need your love
 
I feel like I can't go on
Chasing something that I know is wrong
You think that I woud have learned by now
All this time, should have worked it out
 
But it′s never enough, diamonds, dark minds
Can't never give up, stolen short knives
Too many, too much, to call off
Don't worry yourself, you′ll be o.k.
Nobody here knows about us, we got our own world
And they can never take it away
 
Laying in the sunlight,
I feel your arm underneath
When morning comes to take us
Back to where we′re supposed to be
 
Feel like I can't go on
Chasing something that I know is wrong
You think that I woud have learned by now
All this time, should have worked it out
 
But it′s never enough, diamonds, dark minds
Can't never give up, stolen long knives
Too many, too much, to call off
Don′t worry yourself, you'll be o.k.
Nobody here knows about us, we got our own world
And they can never take it away
 
Too many, too much, to call off
Don′t worry yourself, you'll be o.k.
Nobody here knows about us, we got our own world
And they can never take it away
 

I′m writing you again
I'm writing you again
So don′t you worry now
 
Just try to understand
Just try and understand
That it's all for us
 
Stay calm
Just say you'll be alright
You will see one day
 
Stay calm
The wait will be a while
But I know we′ll be okay
 
These are the times
You can′t deny
But there's no place like home that we will find
 
What′s in your eyes?
I feel alive
But there's no place like home we′ll realize
 
I'm dying in the hands
I′m dying in the hands of time
Can we pause it all?
 
Draw our lines in the sand
A line in the sand for us
Now I won't be long
 
Stay calm
And say you'll be alright
You will see one day
 
Stay calm
The wait is nearly done
And you will be okay
 
These are the times
You can′t deny
But there′s no place like home that we will find
 
What's in your eyes?
I feel alive
But there′s no place like home we'll realize
 
Sailing the northern lights to get here
I′m waiting all the night 'til it clears
Sailing the northern lights to get here
I′m waiting all the night 'til it clears
 
These are the times
You can't deny
But there′s no place like home that we will find
 
What′s in your eyes?
I feel alive
But there's no place like home we′ll realize
