She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Thinking stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
'Won't you lend me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine.'
The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says 'I've thought of you too'
She whispers 'Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs
That I'd rather forget
Like feelings I longed for
You haunt me inside
Sometimes I recall
Question mistakes
Who grew to nothing at all'
I hear voices that cry
And one of them's mine
All the things I could say
Are the reasons I can't
She says 'I've seen you before
In thoughts I call 'son'
Like an old film with sound
When the link comes undone'
The waiter is me
And the woman is you
And we are the story
Just like others I knew
Yo Fiend, what up man? (Yo, yo)
You rollin' with these Legit Ballaz right? (Whomp)
Aight, well check it out
Won't you tell these muthafuckaz a lil' bit about where you come from
Fire arms, sounds of alarms
Consistency in bodily harm
Where I'm from that's the norm
Fiend the ?
Lil' nigga ain't no man of creaton
Once we encounter the killin' spree we on
My defects have G's bet on
Niggaz dollars get they rep on
Speakin' with heat ? could bring death on
Nigga I'm called the killa
Cause every time he get it, it brought chills
Lead that's what made 'em take his ass for real
I done ? survivor
He never wrote the name of his drivers
And wondered that the man can deprive ya
It's there in black ink
With millions in dirty green had to think
Lives depreciated over drinks
Call me twisted
Rope burns to the neck was insisted
And all his hope turned to "I guess should I risk it?"
And that's why the law is laid down
You know what I'm sayin'?
From Fiend to N.O. to Chi, Twista
Pimp run it now
Now to my hustlaz slangin' cain
I said some survive the game
Some just get they names in the stories to be told
Why the young never make it old
Now to my hustlaz slangin' cain
I said some survive the game
Some just get they names in the stories to be told
Why the young never make it old (Why the young never make it old)
I live my life drownin' in homicide
Never let the drama slide
We killaz quick to let it ride
Send a nigga beddy-by when I let it fly
Niggaz be yappin' but they scared to die
Talkin' plenty shit till I cap off with the .45
Look into these smoke red eyes, feel me starvin'
Feel me shakin' up that dope in my apartment
And picture me on top of the world and still servin'
Blessin' all my shorties with birds to keep 'em workin'
As long as my hood is tight, my mind is right
Look at the dope line tonight, just doin' aight
For the nugs
Y'all got paper, I got paper so let's find some ass to jug
This struggle for power keeps us all up to no good
With constant heat, we cruise the streets like cops on D's
With the itchy sittin' dead on the seat
For the wicked and weak, tryin' to get down on what we put down
For this grid-ound, that's why we stand firm with these rid-ounds
Never thought that the cries of my people would get louder
When Chief first came home with that glistenin' white powder
But it gave us power
Never thought them ? packs that had us buyin' clothes and pullin' hoes
Would have our new Starter jackets filled with bullet holes
(That's how it goes)
And who would have ever thought that when we would rock this shit
That we would end up gettin' our whole block lit
By-standers got hit up
And who would have ever thought that women would be up on silent nights
Lightin' pilot lights
I would be crept on my a mask on silent nights
Now I'm wonderin' and thinkin', how can a man make a sack ??
Flip a new Lac with his work
End up in the back of hearse
Then be packed in the dirt
? over turf, can you hear the Mack when it burst
He get cracked where it hurts
Feel the automatic when it jerks
Comin' up in the land where the white and blue Dracula's lurk
Is that what it's worth naw, niggaz got the chrome in ? in the whip
Never let the law get the low on the licks
Bet they got a mob and they mob full of tricks
You ain't on yo P's, you gotta be
Fuck a ? strategy, don't be punked like no lame
You just a Bone in the game
When we were young stories were told
That I would kiss you sweet like
People said there was a connection between us
Now that we're older stories are told
Of how I hold you tight
Whenever I see those people
I tell them were right
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
We must have been a blessing from above
Stories will be told, oh
Until we're old
Stories will be told
Until the end of time
Stories will be told
Until we're old
Stories will be told
Until the end of time
Until the sun won't rise, oh
Let me tell you mine, oh
Let me tell you mine
It all started on 77th Street
When we were just thirteen
I had no cares at all
Until I saw you from the corner of my eye
It changed my views
It changed my whole life
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
We must have been a blessing from above
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
Get into the car and keep it down
City lights look like warnings nowShe‘s got someone that pays for thingsTrust me she won‘t miss a thing
Come with meAnd believe me
Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)

I heard one today about the one I love
I heard one earlier that shook me up
I heard one the other day,cant believe it's true
I heard one by accident wish I had it
Who will buy a glad story
That a young man has to tell?
Come into my house of glory
And I will treat you well.
Who will buy a sad story
That a widow has to tell?
Come into my house of lonely
And I will treat you well.
Young and old, we all have stories
That we all must try to sell
Tales of how you get to heaven
And how we been through hell
Who will buy a perfumed story
That a young girl has to tell?
Sleep with me on satin pillows
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Stop comparing but is so hard
When I [?] around me and I still got no job
Best friend a doctor other friend a lawyer
Other friends famous oh my god
And they all [?] If you just see it more hunger
They are playing hard and sometimes I wonder
[?] is affecting my flight
Where the hell is my wife or at least misses right
Or at least for tonight can I least take you home
Cause I need the [?] of something more than songs
I am more that was shown more that was known
[?] flows in my bones recording a song at night
It [?] my soul on ice [?] I am a man suppose to fight
To dream you are right
[Chorus:]
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Can't get a script from the bloggers
Can't get a script from the labels
[?] slipping on me now [?] unstable
Got to [?] though I got my eyes on the clock
Never drink but I swear right now
I may use a shot of scotch
A little [?] just a little something to blaze
[?] for this uncomfortable [?] right now I am on tour
And I think that might cure at least I [?]
Moments have been sent chasing my dream [?]
Tell me why I still feel pain
Tell me why things don't change
Try to make it to the top
But it stay [?] I probably miss my aim
[?] can't even look to the sky
Cause I got to much pride
Wanna know the story of my life
Look in my eyes
[Chorus:]
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Bet that I am right or I am wrong
This is the story of my life got to be known
Hope you know more with every song
So many stories
Bet that I am right or I am wrong
This is the story of my life got to be known
Hope you know more with every song
I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
I felt so empty and now I'm fine
But still it's burning, when will you be mine?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I no need to stay
The same old picture, tried and true
Been through there, let's look for something new
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you,
All the songs that I have wrote for you
(For you)
I remember,the way you made me feel when I was with you
I remember,the smile that always brought me back to you
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
(Untrue
Do do da da
do do da da
do do da da
do do da da
Stories told through your life
So many meanings held inside
There for you to see
Beyond the doors of broken dreams
Are they real or fantasy
You may never know
Tales on your TV... in papers, magazines
All you see is pain, to spike right through your brain
Stories, Stories, Stories...
Now inside this living hell
The fires burn... the violence swells
Is it destiny
Time to face judgment day
On your knees, time to pray
To the lord above
Sure he's heard the lies
The twisted truths... the cries
They fall on his deaf ear
His punishment we fear
Stories, stories... They will somehow find you
Stories, stories... There to remind you
Stories, stories... Beware which ones you follow
Stories, stories... Here today, gone tomorrow
Stories, stories... True-false, we always listen
The cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure so he'll put himself to sleep, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish come on and let me hear it, go on
Go ahead and tell your story
She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time
But there's no use waiting there for him
But she's not in the world alone
But she wanted to put herself to sleep
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Go on, go ahead and tell your stories, your stories, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear
You got to speak, oh, and use up all the time you're given
Another second passes faces flash before my eyes.
No happy endings when you're left alone to die.
The way the words come out they contradict what I believe
so don't say and suffocate take these chains that I will break.
Fall out fall back on another way.
Some how I know there is another side.
Silently show me how
I'm going to get there. I couldn't get there if I tried.
Is this a means to an end
or just a dying trend?
And when the moments passed I try to think of words to say
to break the silence in this place of hypocrisy.
False explanations why we're made to live the way we do
and why we're taught to follow twisted and outdated rules.
Fall out fall back on another way
for every opinion there's another side.
Silently show me how
I'm going to get there. I couldn't get there if I tried.
The wind changed and your face stayed
Mild and motionless
As we swayed with memories
And I am waiting and wasted
I'm trying to fight my way through
I've doubts about me and you
I don't know what to think
We came so quick
And hope its not gone wrong
Questions are always boring
Just wanted to hear that story
About how your weekend all went wrong
And how they played your favourite song
I can pretend this dream of you died with summer
But as we both know that's not true
So again I'll try for
Conversations that stay strong
Jokes that don't go wrong
But forcing smiles never worked against stopped clocks
You're already gone
Questions are always boring
Just wanted to hear that story
About how your weekend all went wrong
And how they played your favourite song
Questions are always boring
Never wondered if you heard that story
I found out "He's so great" and you're "So Happy"
She was black as the night;
Louie was whiter than white,
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar,
Louie fell in love overnight.
Nothing bad, it was good,
Louie had the best girl he could.
When she took him home
To meet her mama and papa;
Louie knew just where he stood.
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie Lou I
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie you're gonna cry.
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right.
He took her home to meet his mama and papa,
Man, he had a terrible fright.
Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream.
Ain't no diff'rence between black and white,
Brothers, you know what I mean.
Louie Louie Louie
