Saturday
Afternoon, the sunshine
Pours like wine
Through your window
And I know
Golden June can turn
An empty gray
Against your window
And I feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
If I walk
(If I walk, if I walk)
By the trees
I'll catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But I know
(But I know, but I know)
All this means
Is whiling on the hours
Watching side shows
And I feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
Will I turn my coat to the rain
I don't know
But I'm goin'
Somewhere I can
Warm my bones
Fare you well
(Fare you, fare you well)
Carry me away
And sing for those
I know upon their birthdays
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
I've been here for a million years
Through the joy, through the tears
But when I am gone this will go on
And the circle starts again...
I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust
I had cried when the oceans died
And the circle starts again...
Ohhh...
Ahhh...
I was here when the world began to turn
Kissed the sun as it started to burn
The whispering at the reckoning said
"The circle starts again"
The moon was rising from above
I caught her eye and thought it was love
But she turned her back, the sky went black
And the circle starts again...
Ohhh...
Ahhh...
I danced through castles made of stone
Walked the desert sands alone
In the midnight hour you feel the power
And the circle starts again...
Now the question falls to you, my friend
No begining has no end
Will we ever learn, will the world still turn,
Will the circle start again?
Ohhh...
you turn
just to spite me
you run
where i can not see
you walk
all over me
but you won't
you won't
you know
what you'll never be
you show
all your pleasantries
you'd love
to lash out at me
but you won't
no you won't
everytime i hear the sound
of footsteps walking up to a door
i turn around and i don't see your face
inside my mind anymore
the circle is now complete
the loser admits defeat
they're taking us by surprise
no one will realize
you want
what you can't posses
you love
for me to confess
you said
that you were the best
but you're not
no you're not
turn the spinning wheel
and tell me i'll do it
it's nothing at all
slipping through my fingers
losing grip and i
can see that you fall
the circle is now complete
the loser admits defeat
they're taking us by surprise
and no-one will realize
the circle is now complete
the boundries are obsolete
they read in between the lines
no-one will realize
the circle is now complete
the loser admits defeat
they're taking us by surprise
no one will realize
the circle is now complete
the loser admits defeat
they're taking us by surprise
no one will realize
turn to spin the wheel
The Circle
Here in the East I bring in Light and Air
To call the breath of life into my lair
Here in the South I bring in Light and Fire
To give me now the warmth that I require
Here in the West I bring in Light and Water
My Goddess will wash clean her daughter
Here in the North I bring in Light and Earth
In the dead of the night, there's something calling to me
I can see all these visions of insanity, insanity
There's no way to control it, feel adrenaline rise
All these things that I see, what are they telling me, telling me?
Will they set me free, set me free?
Yes, I've got to believe, got to believe it's unreal
'Cause I'm back in the circle, the circle tonight
All around me, the faces reflect in my mind
I turned the page, now I'm back in the circle
Back in the circle again, yeah
As I walk through the shadows filled with uncertainty
I get lost in this moment of insanity, insanity
I have tried to make sense of the things that I see
I follow the light 'cause it's my destiny, destiny
Will it set me free, set me free?
And I've got to believe, got to believe it's unreal
'Cause I'm back in the circle, the circle tonight
All around me, the faces reflect in my mind
I turned the page, now I'm back in the circle
Back in the circle again
I've got things going on inside my head
Seems so long I've been gone
This road has led to everywhere
I'll never be the same at all
You got to believe
I can't see, yeah
You got to believe, got to believe
What you're hoping to see, hoping to see
What you want to believe, want to believe
Is what you want it to be, want it to be
Yes, you got to believe, got to believe
What you're hoping to see, hoping to see
What you want to believe, want to believe
Arms start flying and fist start swinging
Music starts ringing the circle is formed
Heat starts building sweat starts pouring
Tension is mounting in the circle beware
In the middle of the circle you're all alone
Look for familiar faces none are around
Locked in a circle surrounded by lines
The point of departure cannot be found
In the circle you cannot escape
The vicious circle captures small and great
In this world we all know
The only thing certain in life
Is that it is ended by death
Find some meaning to it all
The absurdity what can it mean
Can reality be just a dream?
Or nightmare never ending
And we re pawns in the game
Resign yourself accept the fact
The circle can't be broken you know you are trapped
Faith in yourself is the only thing you've got
We made the circle and we can make it stop
Believe you've got the power it s something to see
Know you've got the will to set you free
From the circle you must escape
From the fucking circle I'll break it all when
Everyone gets tired of all we have made
Through these years somehow, time is stocked somehow
Suddenly my lips spoke of death and red wine
Suddenly your hands find my skin but my mind
Wasn't there but you don't care
And no one seems to care of all this shit of life we dream about
Don't you ever tell me I've been waiting for
Some kind of quiet world, or so, that doesn't exist at all
Don't you blame the illness of world to be stopped
Cause that was in the real world now I'll try to find out my own way
Crossing through the fields where nobody can see my face...
Throwing up your words all over your velvet
Will you turn your back on me when you are nothing
Will you be the same when I came into the fire
Don't you ever tell me I've been waiting for
Some kind of quiet world, or so, that doesn't exist at all
Don't you blame the illness of world to be stopped
[Singing]
I'll always spit this gangsta shit
I'm always G'd up gansterish
I'll always have a gangsta bitch
That loves my gangsta ways
Now and ever
[Romero]
Some call me a dreamer,and it seems it's very hard to achieve 'em
Some said its impossible, I find that hard to believe
See I was starvin' wit this hunger to sharpen my stees
We all come up from a circle, surrounded by gees
Fully equipped,money,drugs,bullets, and bitches
Everything I ever wanted I would hustle to get it
Bustin' my knuckles on punk motherfuckers that wanted to chunk 'em
Bullshit ain't nothin' till someone says says somethin'
To someone ain't have it, grabbin' the heat up peelin' the hammer back
Don't look so happy to see me when I come blastin back
I counter attack on coward ass rappers, who can't even rap but can act
Y'all still need practice
My story is told and sold on the slums and street corners
Bangin' beats full of funk you bums are sleepin on us
Ill just keep those names anonymous, keep away from y'all piranhas always
biting and shit
And my so called homeboys they didn't even buy my shit
While my mothafuckin haters still alive for it
It's the L to the O-B-O and the low-low minded for 'sho
Armani cologne and some barbershop bout to get blowed
[Bad Boy]
Don't approach me dude, I'm not in the mood
Im fightin' the mind and if I lose I'll be out of my noose
I left school just to ride with the crew, lighting a few
Tryin to do whatever life tries in cube
Im not you so you can't be me I'm MVP, you ain't scarin nobody with your
MVP'S, I'm high grade the ice alone dipped in the grave
The prosgrade and I put that on life that I will not change
I'm not the same cat, witness the power of the brain cat
Only the wise willing to stare me when I say that
Only the light will teach me what the brain can't
The only prize stays in the same man
My name tatt it's all related to the same crap
I know I'm not a killa and I don't intend to change that
Don't make me have to bring the game back
You fuck around and get your plates tapped or get your plates capped
[Romero]
We all came up from a circle surrounded by Gees
Killaz,dealers, and ballers playin parts in your dreams
All in a circle all of our anger, all of our verses
All for one purpose, to this mob that will hurt you
[Kishwah]
The way I grew up was rough, mobbing homies was my circle
Used to handle blocks with 'em until my knuckles turned purple
But they gave me game at a very young age so I'd survive
That's real, no lie, its cuz of them that I'm still alive
They showed me to be cold,inhumane and cruel
The knowledge obtained in the streets wasn't explained in school
Like how to use game as a tool against some fool the same as you
I'm the flame and fuel proving there's no change in rules
We were here before you came and we'll be here when you leave
City game won't ever change
That's so playas please believe
Hates like a disease, it can't be treated or cured
That's so you take heed to my word, that's why I need to be heard
I need the whole world to listen up and pay attention
To the lesson I'm about to teach your ass, class in session
Welcome to How-To-Keep-It-Real-101, first thing is keep a steal
Never leave without your gun, trust no one cuz no one should be trusted
Seen the hardest fool, admit to the crime when they got busted
Never let your gun get rusted, busta you should learn to clean it
You don't want that shit to jam, understand man I mean it
Throw a condom on your penis, before you decide to hit it
When It comes to the AIDS if she's got it, trust me you'll get it
If I said it, I meant it and I hope you learn something
Like to you soldiers with no stripes it's time to earn something
[Ese Brown]
I live my life right out on the page, read dawg
These are my days
These criminal ways they got us criminal cases
We gots to hold gauges and smoke 0's ain't no changes
We in the motherfuckin same places
The same thugs, same gangstas the same drugs
It ain't no secret where we from, this Clik to da 1
Circle of guns, sicker than fuck looking for any funds
We spit this shit in front of everyone
Every word is meant how I said it son
You motherfuckers ain't ready for it, but here it comes
This shit is thicker than 1, cuz all my dawgs sleep in the same slums
Doing licks with the same guns, and we ain't ready to run
The game is all but a game to some, the game is fun
Until your brains laying out in the sun
You motherfuckers need to stay calm, you see what happens to fools
That was talking they getting bombed on
[Singing]
I'm always G'd up gangsterish
I'm always kickin this gangsta shit
I'll always have a gangsta bitch
That love my gangsta ways, now and ever
Saturday afternoon the sunshine pours like wine through the window
And I know golden June can turn an empty grey against your window
And I feel like I'm on the outside of a circle
If I walk by the trees I'll catch the falling leaves if the wind blows
And I know all this means is whiling on the hours watching side-shows
And I feel like I'm on the outside of a circle
Will I turn my coat to the rain but I don't know
I'm going somewhere I can warm my bones
Fare you well I'll carry me away
And sing for those I know upon their birthdays
And I feel like I'm on the outside
I won't feel like I'm on the outside
condemn before they understand
Censorship is out of hand
Quick to judge and slow to learn
Afraid to the let the wheels turn
Look to the past
Your superstitions didn't last
and all your words
They seem so foolish now
(Pre-chorus)
The screams never heard
Their dreams are never understood
(Chorus)
The circle will never change
The circle will never change
Unheard of then
Accepted now
and all you hypocrites
Have forgotten youth somehow
Are we really so different from yesterday
The more we know the more that we portray
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Denounced by society
And it's foolish hypocricy
Why must you be so naive
Shut out things, see what you want to see
Your lawsuits with intent to maim
are useless scapegoats to shift the blame
You close your mind
It's the blind leading the blind
What does freedom mean?
(Pre-chorus)
Fuck me teenage I'm electric
Times are hard getting so more hectic
Man your brain's square you better get with it
You can wash me down your antiseptic
Toss it away
Toss it away
Toss it away now
Buried in a magazine
And you're not even dead yet
Everything gets said
Goes straight to your head
Toss it away
Toss it away
Toss it away now
Toss it away
Toss it away
Toss it away now
Fuck me teenage I'm electric
Man, your brain's square you better get with it
Wash me down you antiseptic
Toss it away
Toss it away
Toss it away now
Toss it away
Toss it away
Toss it away now
Twist flip bang those feet on the ceiling, yeah
Stop standing still, gotta grab this feeling now
Six strings sizzles like a burning fire
And you're verbal trash, man, you're growing tired
Toss it away
Toss it away
I've seen the circle within the circle
Spinning endlessly
And when the people fall, the people fall
In the scheme of things
Understand this, understand this time within eternity
We are the circle, we are the people
Spinning endlessly
Cold is the sky
Dull, dull white
Gone are the birds
Silent as night
And as we're standing on the edge
Embraced in mystery
We are creation and we create
