(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Days of yellow saffron.
Nights with purple skies.
Melting in the sunbeams
from my maker's eyes.
Mountain-colored lilac
in the distant haze.
I would like to lie here,
timing all my days
Move past my window,
sunshine is shimmering
jack-o-lanterns glimmering,
giant moths are flickering around.
See, the moon is hiding
underneath the sea.
Pretty soon he'll venture
to take a look at me.
So I humbly stand here
beneath his golden glow.
Doesn't he remind me
of somebody I know?
I must be leaving,
back to reality.
Don't you just pity me?
I could so easily stay here.

Migra Migra pinche Migra dejame en pas
Migra Migra pinche Migra dejame en pas
Malicia veo en tus ojos desprecio en tu corazon
Malicia veo en tus ojos desprecio en tu corazon
Es hora de reconocer que todos somas una voz
Abrasa el concepto venimos de la misma voz
Me necesitas tu a me mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a me mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a me mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a me mas y mas que yo a ti
People people letÚFFFF92s start together letÚFFFF92s do it right
People people letÚFFFF92s love one another I know we know how
Me necesitas tu a mi mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a mi mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a mi mas y mas que yo a ti
Me necesitas tu a mi mas y mas que yo a ti
Migra Migra pinche Migra dejame en pas
Overflowing senses, heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow, I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos talking right to me
Unlimited, endless, God breathing through me
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation
Thundering rhythm pounding within me
Driving me onwards, forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening, right there before me
Brilliantly shining intricate beauty
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
I know we've got a lot to say
Between now and forever
But I'd be a game if you would play
And my dear you get better
All throughout the day
You smile and walk away
All I can think to do
Is follow you
If you leave I'll be crawling back for more
If you need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you'd be my cure
Wherever you think I am tonight
Just know we're miles from a heartbreak
Beacause in the blink of a pretty brown eye
I'll be right where you are baby
Sometime along the way you take my breath away
Distracted by he view
I fall right into you
And if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you would be my cure
They say I need to see all the people out there waiting
But you take one look at me
And I know the mistake I'd be making
Cuz if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love I'm standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you be my cure
Our love is dead but without limit
Like the surface of the moon
Or the land between here and the mountains
Well, it is not these hiding places that have kept us innocent
But the way you taught me to just let it all go by
And so we've learned to be as faithless
Stand behind bulletproof glass
Exchangin' our affections through a drawer
And it was always horribly convenient and happening too fast
You should count your change before you're even out the door
Yes, you should
But please return, return to the person that you were
And I have to do the same
'Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone
My compass spins, the wilderness remains
Once too often I've retreated into the depths of my despair
I built a barricade to block you on the road
But standin' there with all of my possessions
Piled higher than a house
I felt closer to you than you ever would have known
So let these tiny acts of charity
Be common ground on which to build
A monument to commemorate our time
And though you say you've found another
Who will surely speed you on your way
Don't let the forest grow over that path you came there by
But you will
So, so hurry up and run to the one that you love
And blind him with your kindness
And he'll make war, oh war
On who you were before and claim all that has spoiled in your heart
Now I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky
There's still a few holes that let in a little rain
And so it's crying on my shingles
My floorboards moan under my feet
The refrigerator's whinin' so I got reason to complain
But I'm not going to bless you with such compliments
Some degrading psalm of praise
Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago
Because the truth is that gossip's as good as gospel in this town
You can save face but you will never save your soul
And that's a fact
So hurry up and run to the one that you love
And tie him up in your likeness
And he'll become, become the prisoner I was
And know all that has spoiled in your heart
He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart
So hurry up and run to the one that you love
And blind him with your kindness
And he'll make war, oh war on who you were before
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
Yeah, he'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart
So hurry up and run to the one that you love
And blind him with your kindness
And he'll make war, oh war on who you were before
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
Listen, theres a lot of special people come through your life
At times, and Im just willing to talk about mine right now.
If ya'll can bair with me. This is something for you.
Every night Im on my knees
Praying that we would stay
One for years and years
I said one who happened
Willing to and anything
Life has to offer
You're strong
And I can't see myself without you baby
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality, sugar
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality
Listen, no Im not a psychic
And I can't see, what the future holds for you and me
But I, hope we can stay like this
I will try my best
Cos what we have, is special
Something that should carry on
For ever and ever and ever
Through all of the stormiest weather
Even through rights and wrongs
Im willing to hold on
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality, sugar
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality
I can come and talk to you
When all when my burdens get heavy
We can communicate
When I'm not feeling so well
Cos you love me, my pain will be your pain
My tears will be your tears
You'll stay until Im ok
This is what I have to say
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality, sugar
You're the reason for me breathing
You're the reason for this song
You're the truth, you're the light
And nothing can ever replace you in my life
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
My equality
You're my maker
My sanity
My everything
I walked outside one day,
The sun wouldn't look my way,
Only darkness,
I felt alone yet safe with you,
I felt the promise to be true,
Swollen teardrops drowned,
The wind was blowing down.
I felt His presence all around,
A voice came through black thunder clouds,
Tell me you're scared.
The rain kept drumming fast,
(Such guilt)
The devil tried to make it last,
But to no avail.
I prayed and cried that night,
I hope that God can make this right,
Just like He always did,
I know I am Your son,
My life has only just begun,
To praise Your Holy Name,
We praise Your Holy Name,
Now, not alone,
This can be made alright. You know my life,
I'll give it back to You,
I know we are Your sons,
We know are lives have just begun,
To let the world know where we stand,
All because of my car
All because of my car
All because of my car
I'm in my car, cruisin to the beat
Trippin off, off these money hungry freaks
Wanna be down, wit a super star
Cuz you know I got money an a cold blooded car
Must be the Beamer (Must be the Beamer)
Thats turning you on
Must be the Benz (Must be the Benz)
I ain't takin you home
{All because of my car}
Must be the Cruiser (Must be the Cruiser)
Got you flaggin me down
Must be the Rover (Must be the Rover)
Makes you wanna be around
{All because of my car}
I hits an run like an accident
Mr. hit em fast an slow is back again
If you don't believe me go an ask a friend
I got more hoes than the O-Zone
I hits em wit they close on
(Why's that Silkk?)
So they can go home
I rolls up on a bucket, she got a man
But when I rolls up in a Benz, das when she hops in
An thas how its gon' happen to her
I don't mean to be like mackin to her or rappin to her
But I'm jus askin to her
Now back up in the days I run game on em
They wanna play games so I bought a Lexus from my homie
An the next day after that, game don't stop
(Where ya car at)
I be like man, its in tha shop
But now I'm on top now
Put the......top down
See how many number I can jot down, how many girl I can knock down
An plus up on my block, now it ain't gon' stop
Now, since I got a little cash
Now I dash down the block but I keep my game tight
When Im in the Rover, I gets the guests the same night
You try skeezin me, should be try pleasin me
Alizay to get the draws off easily
Thas when I switch my game over
You blame it on a hang over I blame it on the Range Rover
An I ain't tryin to hear that
(Oh it's like that, huh?)
Like that, like that
When I'm flossin on these ghetto streets
Can't see how I get stopped by those crooked police
I can't understand, why they player hate
An they ask me these question, like how much money I make
Now it's none of their business, how I make my ends
An you can't get a piece of my funky dividends
I guess you could say, I got it goin on
Cuz I keep seein girlies an they wont leave me alone
I guess the PD is tryin to see me in the State Pen
Behind me tryin to run my license plate in
Im checkin my rear view, but I ain't gon' trip, bruh
Waitin for me to slip up, show me some ID wit yo' picture
I guess they wanna see my bank statement
See how much money that Im makin
But I guess they just be hatin
They need to start missin me, stop trippin G
I guess they mad cuz I got more gold than Mr T
An all these freaks wanna get in my gangsta ride
Cuz I got it front to back, an side to side
But I ain't got time
I gotta do my thang
An if you wanna front you know I can hang
Now you know that I never wanna perpetrate
Cuz y'all playa hate
you fools better recognize
That a No Limit Soldier is on the rise
Must be the Bentley (Must be the Bentley)
that's turnin you on
Must be the Lex (Must be the Lexus)
that's why I'm takin you home
{All because of my car}
Must be the Caddie (Must be the Caddie)
got you flaggin me down
Must be the Cutlass (Must be the Cutlass)
why you wanna be around
Pull up to the parking lot 84's they pokin out
Lil momma wanna see my rims
Can't wait till I pull them out
Talk about em to her friends
They tellin her don't ask me out
Cause they know just how I roll
Plus those hoes wanna ask me out
I take... when I hit that script
So I'mma do this to the casket drop
Risk... am I...
Damn, just like the...

Chorus:
I know you like my car,
I know you like my ring
I'm living like a star baby money ain't the thing
She says she loves my rims

N-gga grippin wood grain pussy dripin candy paint
Your girl wanna f-ck me cause the way that I swang
Your girl wanna f-ck me cause the way that I swang
Your girl wanna f-ck me cause the way that I swang
Shit, these girls wanna f-ck me cause the way that I swang

Pay me better than you paid the momma when I hit the block...
... that other shit, that's why I'm getting...
Them ladies say they want it, I catch me for my opponents
I'm growing at a level that you haters never seen
My worst day of my life is probably better than your dreams.
... I'm the n-gger...
I'm appealing to the bitches cause them whores love a pimp
Keep 'em hot an exotic cause I...
Chorus:
I know you like my car,

Fifty on a ring couple hundred on a chain

Man now I'm cool watch me do damn fool
Breaking boys out homestead avenue
Coming through!

Repping for the team
And ever single one clean
Not me your girl watching
Baby momma popping, I'm about to get what they want
Cause they won't stop me
Drop it, it's time to go and...
Chorus:
I know you like my car,

[Cheeks]
Yo yo now now now now
When I wake up before I gather up my pens
I shine up my fronts I give a Dutch for all my mens
throw on some Marvin Gaye
I smoke my weed and clean my kitchen dishes
Tec to the sky see how mom's is always bitchin'
I'm done buffin' got my cheese my pen & paper

it's my nigga Spigg Nice he tellin' me he in the zone
Yo I got the liquor the grain fool let's make a tape
I'm caught up in my own zone can't really escape
I ran it down the line as Easy Mo played the song
He checked my five he said to me yo later on
about an hour passes
about my loosey deuce deuce & my tinted glasses
I got the bike that I copped from my younger cousin
cause that cat is up in class like a nickel & he wasn't
I'm concentratin' on these moves that I'ma soon be makin'
and once I break then I'ma show my peeps that I'm not fakin'
See my man Pop or Die from the block
niggas wearin' ? reverse as we handle barred it to the block
See certain situations happen
when you caught up in the 'hood in the game of rappin'
You see scrappin' now leads to cappin'
we used to have each other's back
what the fuck happened? Stupid
Yo fuck it
Anyway Mary ?Easter? record store
walked to the back now let me get a four
Exit from the spot everybody know what's hot
you get yours on & soon as you see 'em
the thieves turn the block
Jump on them right now when niggas chillin'

Cracked open my St. Ides took a squig

You got it this time
He represents my Crew

Represent your Crew
He represents my Crew
You represent my Crew
We represent my Crew

get crushed by the stampede of the elephant tusks
We LB families niggas don't understand us
lyrical scanner diagnosin' niggas with cancer
you got a problem I got the answer
Twin Glocks goin' bananas
buckin' innocent bystanders son
the total sum is a mathmatical function
I used to get suspended for keepin' the class jumpin'
Had the blackboard with the chalk in my hand
Mr. Cheeks snatched the thieves off the Canibus plan
watched the crowd get amped
while they scream & chant
it's ill hot they can't keep still like a fire drill
We desire mils from 97 until
firin' high caliber steel on this battlefield

[John Piper]
I hear so many christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make war!
[Tedashii]
Bang with me
Ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me
No more playing games man
Cause this thang can get risky
So man if you in christ
Take up!
Your cross quickly
Stand fearless on the frontline
Time to come with it
Do the right thing
Wake up!
And lets get it
I ain't even in the ring
They throwing bows like riddick
Persistently attacking me
They're even in the back of me
It's either fight or loose my life and I can't take this passively
So what you think I'm bout to do
I'm bout to do what I can do
Trust the one who got me through
And fight like it was after school
Never giving up
Steady, standing on the battle field
Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on chappel hill
Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me
Satan cheers me on
Guilt followed by conviction
It's the same ol' trap
And we fall like we defenseless
Work your senses
Grow in wisdom
Stand firm and be relentless
[Chorus]
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death
Every breath
Like I beat my chest
I make war
Sun up
I make war
Sun down
I make war
Time in
I make war
Time out
I make war
Against lust
Against pride
Against me
Until I die
[Flame]
Do you even have a clue
What happened to you when he died
When that tomb got rolled when he rose in the sky
I think we emphasis sin so much
That it makes us paralyzed
And glorify struggle so much
That it makes us terrified
And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus
We gotta snap out of it
We aint in no straight-jacket
We free
When jesus died in our lives something strange happened
He gave us power
Yeah I know that we sinners but since he rose he's renewing the image of god in us
Now, we gotta start making war
Now we can start saying no
To them fleshy impulses that jesus christ is paying for
Now we can start taking the lead
Just like the dalai lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber
Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder
By his grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no tomorrow
[Chorus]
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death
Every breath
Like I beat my chest
I make war
Sun up
I make war
Sun down
I make war
Time in
I make war
Time out
I make war
Against lust
Against pride
Against me
Until I die
[Verse 3]
I'm a christ representer, fin to stand and deliver
Cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda
So I dropped this on an adat
Just so you could come play back
A hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back
So listen up to it asap
Like you do a lecrae track
I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap
Sinning, nawl we don't play that
Cause that's the way that a slave acts
I'm filled with the spirit so tell them dog this is pay back
As you begin to copy the carbon copies of christ
And conform to his written image you should be shinning a light
If you not, why is that?
Is it fear that's been grippin' you
Cause you scared they'll be dissin' you
Flipping birds while that spit at you
If you not, why is that?
It don't matter so bump it
Perfect love cast out fear and he ain't save us for nothing
This is a privilege (privilege)
Your life to give to him (give to him)
So stand firm for him dawg and lets get it in
[Chorus]
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death
Every breath
Like I beat my chest
I make war
Sun up
I make war
Sun down
I make war
Time in
I make war
Time out
I make war
Against lust
Against pride
Against me
Until I die
Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
I'm looking for my pack of cigarettes
I'm thinking back on things I've done
I can't forget the stupid ones
It seems I do my best by accident
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I miss her feel, her touch, her taste
I feel the distance everyplace
This distance can't be taken casually
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take is comforting
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I'll take a break from all their big plans
My first mistake was listening to them
I made a mess it's all been proven
Over and over again
Over and over again
Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
Looking for some face I can't forget
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take's an accident
My brother, my sister, my lover, my maker
Did someone here fade it, someone here fake it?
Did someone here take it, someone here make it?
Someone here steal it, someone here lease it
Under the table where we used to take it
The briar, the bracken, the ebb
The ebb flow the cold shoulder
Trilogy
I've been seen crossing
Somebody else's mind
So I'm dreaming, let's start at the endings
Of love and sex
It's a strange one, often a staged one
Oh, maybe we can get it on the run
The story is a new one, it's based on a re-run
You wouldn't have known it if I hadn't brought it up
Oh, maybe we should just let it go
Oh no
I've been seen crossing
Somebody else's mind
Nothing is sacred and I cannot shake it
This feelin' of loss when the daytime is crossed
By the sight of night, the sharp moonlight
Dyes the sky
And I'm wonderin' now if you got my last call
Or was the music too loud when you let out the hounds?
Oh, maybe you should come and see my show
I hope not
I've been seen crossing
Somebody else's mind
I love you so
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
I love you so
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
Let it be known
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
Let it be known
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
I love you so
Oh, but I've been sad
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
I love you so
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
Let it be known
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
Let it be known
(Boiling some water to kill myself)
Oh, but I've been sad
You went across my heart
You've been crossing my mind
Nothing is sacred and I cannot shake it
This feelin' of loss when the daytime is crossed by
This feelin' of loss when the daytime is crossed by
This feelin' of loss when the daytime is crossed by
I, I got my new transmission fixed, now it kicks
and I, I got my 5.0 V6, I am slick
Me and you go driving down the street
Waving to the people that we meet
We will drive it far like a shooting star
That is how we do it in my car...
Sing, sing along to my cassette, gonna make you sweat
Sit back, 'cause this is my favourite track, the racecar track
Me and you go driving to the park
Me and you go driving after dark
We will drive it far
Like a shooting star
That is how we do it in my car...
Carbon monoxide's a thing of the past
I only fill up with high octane gas, gas, gas...
(Let's go!)
I, I got my kenwood system fixed, that bass sure kicks
and I, I got my 5.0 V6, I am slick
Me and you go driving down the street
Waving to the people that we meet
We will drive it far
Like a shooting star
That is how we do it in my car
That is how we do it in my car
Oh, oh, deep water
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
I could not see
For the fog in my eyes
I could not feel
For the fear in my life
And from across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Of John Baptist
Walking to me with the Maker
My body, my body is bent
And broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham
And turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
Brother John, have you seen
The homeless daughters
Standing here with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
There over East of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
My core! Steady following rising in footsteps along,
just like everyone that's what they demand I can't believe this
is real it feels wrong, to go after and be the same when you're
in a band We could be like them, play it safe for cash, betray our
own choice but I don't believe in following the trend, my music my
heart, my core, is not , not for rent everyday another one gets big,
one day forced to be the ideal of the record company, your market is
what consumes yours soul, don't you get it? it's a waste to play
without a.. (goal)Dancing millions at the show, you got something
to say but they don't know, nothing's left, you're now a product for
[Verse 1]
My family dream with me
Under city lights
Pump the light
The screamers rights
Just work it out but ya'll ain't hearin' it
Words Travel deep in your spirit alone
I cruise the block
And use the box
To serenade the moonlight with the speakers
Niggaz lean back, deep in your seats and feel me
Cliques and crews n' hoods and gangs who love it
I'm, lovin' you dearly
Keep hustlin'
Jugglin'
Pressure, life, and success
Those who made it
Debate it
Until another's deaf
We buried ourselves under the jail
Without shovels, and dirt under our nails
Bubbles with crime and trouble tales
And street violence turned extreme
(Calling out names)
To rippin' joints on stage
To cuttin' fame time short
To life supportin' nothin'
But just realize what ya'll done
We've given 'em reasons to scream on us
And it's just begun
What happened to us in the bigger picture?
Don't you understand when one of us falls?
Step and we're all fallin' with ya
C'mon yeah
[Hook]
If you believe
Then I'll sing
And you'll believe that
(All I need is the love of my crew)
(Yeah Right)
That maybe you will do what you're supposed to do
Don't even say
That you're better than this
[Repeat x1]
[Verse 2]
I represent for a nation, thought we was in it together
But I guess it gets strange when money rains in sunny weather
Tougher than leather
We're weaker than glass
And shattered on the side of the road
Trying to get a ride, but pass each other fast
Closed Aves'
Throw hash
Ice and Whips
Have blinded us
Never mind
How the mind just trips for glitch
Shit niggaz
Rich niggaz got us in tow
If it's not enough they gotta put us all on a show
Ya'll lost me
Somewhere between wakin' and coffee
That shit changed so quick
I didn't blink and it cost me
Fuck it, it costs us
Do you even know where we at?
Fuck you, and that we're here
You can't even open the map
Rap's dead
Rap sucks
But thanks to ya'll for
Killin' it
Grillin' it down
And spillin its guts
And fillin' it
Back up with trash
..Wait up I mean cash
Bangin (?) too synonymous
With media politics
(You know they love it)
[Hook]
If you believe
Then I'll sing
And you'll believe that
(All I need is the love of my crew)
(Yeah Right)
That maybe you will do what you're supposed to do
Don't even say
That you're better than this
[Repeat x1]
[Verse 3]
What ya'll fightin' for?
For the light of the raw battle
Naw!
Can't be the latter
Cuz music just doesn't matter right?
Maybe I'm pinchin' emotions
To broken ears
And livin in years
When shit was spoken clearly
Without all the bullshit
Pullin' Clips
Replacin' games with court gestures
Bought pressers
Proclaimed the best is paid
And just forsake the rest
Who made it possible to be spittin'
If you got the same type of us women
That's grinnin'
Then the joint will keep spinnin'
I swear
It's like swimmin' with sharks
In public pools in shallow water
And some of these artists are fuckin' your youngest daughter
Feel me?
Aint no real fam
Niggaz is playin you
Trust me I wouldn't let my brother have his way with you
I'm only stating facts
Shit is plain as flood lights
We drop 10
I wanna fuck you, maybe 2, 1 mics
I'm just tryna keep it done right
One to Unity
I want our crew to be
Just like it used to be
[Hook]
If you believe
Then I'll sing
And you'll believe that
(All I need is the love of my crew)
(Yeah Right)
That maybe you will do what you're supposed to do
Don't even say
That you're better than this
all these countless lifetimes
where you're more to me than life
all these dreams of soulfly
we'll be together when it's time
I don't want to miss you
and I will find you in each life
all our love together
is breaking every rule of life
when we would die
it wouldn't matter
because we'll someday be together
forever
my crow
all these nights of lightness
where you're too beautiful to live
you should be in heaven
where I'll take you when it's time
when we would die
it wouldn't matter
because we'll someday be together
forever
my crow
my crow
we'll fly forever
you can imagine
only the two of us
this is no dream
this is our reality
forever
my crow
when we would die
it wouldn't matter
because we'll someday be together
forever
