And so it was that you were born
Into this world one winter morning,
With a childish innocence you smiled at me
And I was born again.

PREACHER
What people want is a family life,
The strength of a home and a moat round the castle.
Pull up the drawbridge,
Staying at home with the family.
All people want is a family life,
Sometimes they find that it isn't so easy.
People can argue,
Life can be hard on a family.
BASSES
Mum's in the kitchen, she won't speak to Dad.
ALTOS
Uncle's ashamed of the good time he had.
TENORS
Brothers and sisters are lifting the roof
With the music they play all night.

But people still want a family life,
Nothing replaces the love and affection.
Pull up the drawbridge
Tempers are frayed, but it's like that.
ALTOS
Don't be dismayed if it's like that.

Like that.
PREACHER
You're not obeyed but you like that -family life.

From day to day throughout our lives.
MARY DEE
What can we do,
that's how it grows.
I am with you,
MARY DEE and SHANTY
Our love survives.
Are you saying love
Or are you saying nothing
Still life is a crime
That I can't ignore
Your perfect ways will follow
The temperature that's rising
All this time you never let me think
It was the hardest part to know
It was the fastest we could run
It was the farthest we could go
We are alive my angel
Carcerated
A tougher ending
It sounds so easy
But every time we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer, let the heat take over
Cut me away
Cut me away
Don't end it up and
I tried to love you like before
If this was a night
It was the best one of our lives
Are you saying now
Or are you saying never
The still frame in my mind cannot be ignored
And all I can remember
Is the way you moved your body
And how your lips never say no
But it was killing you inside
Cause you thought I was the one
And now it's out of your control
You have arrived my angel
Carcerated
A tougher ending
It sounds so easy
But every time we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer, let the heat take over you
And we're were drawing lines not to cross
So we would never feel a thing
And now it's breaking you apart
Just like it broke your heart
Carcerated
A tougher ending
It sounds so easy
But every time we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer, let the heat take over
Cut me away
Cut me away
Don't end it up and
I tried to love you like before
If this was a night
Reaching out
Can you hear me
I said I'm reaching out
But no one's near me
And through all this I've been reaching out blindly
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
Well here goes nothing yeah I'm standing up
And I'll get nothing if it's not enough
But they won't say what they're holding back from us
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
[x2]
I'll tell you this is something that you'll never hear
They knew it then and they've been holding back for years
And if you're not getting answers ask better questions...
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
Love.
They say she came from the wrong side of town.
They say you're white. She's brown.
They say you better keep it inside the race.
They say you should be ashamed.
But they're not gonna take this one away from me.
Love
They say it's wrong to be gay.
They say some god is gonna cast them away.
They say it's a disgusting thing.
They say you should be ashamed.
But they're not gonna take this one away from me.
Love.
Cold hearts want to suffocate love in a world that just can't get enough.
There's no purity, in a morality, that turns love into something dirty.
But I will not be ashamed.
When I was younger, I drank coffee to act grown up.
I'm older now, and I know that coffee sucks.
I don't want the sell out future the others are so quick to accept.
As time goes, so does my friends, and I wonder, who will be the next to forget.
Try to remember.
It's not just some phase that I'll give up or grow out of.
Caught in a rut of kids stuff? Maybe not.
I'm just doing what I love.
Yes, I fear the unknown, but I can't settle for what's already been done.
Try to remember what we're afraid of.
Afraid of never being somebody.
Afraid of losing our security.
Afraid of being lonely.
But what's the price? Our dreams.
Afraid of never relating to the outside.
Afraid of being the loser that the others left behind.
Afraid of never amounting to something but it's a whole lot of nothing you'll find.
I try to remember what I got.
Peace of mind.
[Q-Tip]
Shocka called me up to do this thing for Soundbombing
And I figured that I'd do it cause it wasn't no harmin'
Shine a little bit in case somebody was forgettin'
About that Queens motherfucker, y'all need to take cover
I'ma take position and y'all best to take sha-hida
Cause the shit that I spit is hot as hellfire, hotter
Sendin' this to Cross, Meniski, and Bay Vigi
Doug, Pretty Tone and the one that shoot the vidi
Y'all stay in my heart, while I dabble with the charts
Fuck the fame and my aim find the clarity in art
This cowards got it once cause he kept his lips zippin'
Now he in the news and he wettin' and I'm livin'
This Southern cowards life who I used to do my clues with
Subliminally this is me, I try not to assume shit
Let's not forget the king of Internet
Will assume another name while he tarnishes ya rep
And calls you Ziggy Starters but who the major charm
Who starts to elevate out the reach of his arm
[Short Pause]
[Q-Tip]
It's a great day fuck it
Ya probably hear the bundles overflowin' out of Ruckers
The name is Abstract don't confuse without description
Cause you lil' gremlins envy so just cut the fuckin' weak shit
Ride off in the night, V8 lost power
From a soundbomb killin' the lone ranger drillin'
You eager with ya mouth then just be a big proactive
Ya actin' with ya heart then start preachin' with ya fatness
The clear voyage psychic MC is a minion
You cornered and you bagged in so where you gon' run to
Used to get my mother's switches now I grant her wishes
Never superstitious breakin' mirrors with the pitches
Ya man is insane with that do-do on his chain
Funkin' up the joint he pain, that ain't a bling that's a blang
Besides can he rap about a real life vision
Success lies a struggle that's what most of y'all are missin'
Got so many sons I wish I had as many ones
Clown nigga's raps get converted into guns
Illuminati president it's a government official
They dogs and they henchmen is comin' out to get you
The age of Aquarius, the change is goin' on
We gotta keep strivin' movin' on
Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong
(Ya know ya wrong for that)
(Now why ya gotta go and do that)
Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong
And you know, you know you are ooh
I can't let go, but the memories that we use to share.
My heart use to be so strong, please come back.
I love you girl, you know i need your love.
I never thought that you would break my heart.
You said you loved me girl from the start, and now your gone.
And i don't know what to do.
I am alone, but still in love with you.

I don't never want to see you go away.
Tell me that you love me, and our love is true.

You said you loved me girl, right from the start.
And know your gone.

Hey buddy, you ain't gonna make that chic
Just sitting and running your mouth
Gotta get up, gotta get that feeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Gotta get up, get the guitar reeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Put down that drink and do it right quick
'Cause dancing's what it's all about
Gotta get up, gotta get that feeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Gotta get up, get the guitar reeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Say don't you know I've got that news
Straight from the horse's mouth
You know they're doing this thing up north
But it's started way down south
Hey, dancin' man!
You can stop and go find all that you want
But you gotta get out of your seat yeah yeah yeah
Gotta get up, gotta get that feeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Gotta get up, get the guitar reeling
Gotta get up, get it on
All she wants is a dancin' man
He knows how to move them feet
Gotta get up, gotta get that feeling
Gotta get up, get it on
Gotta get up, get the guitar reeling
Gotta get up, get it on

Comin from the maximum gain, the octane
that's on the radio it made me feel so low
It seems we gotta, brighten, the damp prison
I'm Nintendo 64 and you Mattel Intellivision
Bustin from no mo' trey-eights, now papi weight
This joint is like a Ruger, watch it roar like a cougar
And we gotta, move on the dancefloor
and work it out all night that's what you came here for
Just chem', I fills it to the rim, your shine is lookin dim
Daddy shine the light on him, ahem it's me
Leader of the Starfleet Force
Guaranteed to knock your joint off course, we took the loss?
Damn right, sure as Tina made Ike
We gonna put it in your noggin all night, and all day
The Trilateral Commision we dissin
Tellin citizens be straight, but like snakes they hissin
I'll be damned if I let his song fall to the side
Goin piggybackin shit, let's ride, c'mon
I put it down, now what you gonna do (8X)
Hey, now, what you gonna do, with yourself, hah? (4X)
When you hear this, recognize you hear love

Riding through the shit like Tron
Doesn't matter if you onboard, do you wanna get on?
Cause if you do, watch all the moves that we make
Gotta do the things right, ain't no time for mistake
It's the hip-hop cat that can't, fuck with Jake
Just because he wear a badge doesn't, mean he straight so
what you wanna swallow it down or let's take it
Disregard those who fake it, yo it doesn't matter
about the realm, hip-hop is to the helm
It's divine to hit the mind like slippery elms
So put it down man, put it on down
Put it down man, put it on down
Put it down woman, put it on down
Put it down man, put it on down
Put it down man, whatchu gonna do

No, I'm not missing a great time no matter how many ads you beat over my head.
And no, I don't want the taste in the back of my mouth.
It smells.
It's the smell of my mother's breath and it's the smell of my father's breath and I don't want a drop.
No, I don't want a drop.
No, I don't want a pain reliever.
No, I don't want a sedative.
And I definitely don't want to ever forget that smell.
No, I don't want to fill an image I detest.
And have the smell of broken homes and ruined lives on my breath.
It smells.
So let's raise a glass.
Let's tip the bottle.
Let's drink a toast to all the burnt out lives, left for dead.
Out on the streets under the signs that read,

Q-Tip:
Just feelin' things out for real, ya know?
Just wanna do me for real, ya know?
No reason to make it complicated, you feelin' agitated,
You love it or you hate it…fuck it
Desperation, jumpin' off of street corners here
Hustlahz lookin for buzz like "pop one in here"
Local state officials….yeah they out of touch
Getting money for some, aiyo, ain't nothin' much
But yo…let them tell it, we smoke it and we sell it
You don't understand, so don't tell it
You sneakin' souls just for phat diamond golds
Cuz our lady friends have likings for designer clothes
People in my hood think….if I'm lookin raggedy, then the cat is just a weak
link
In the very fake chain of oppression….if television taught me any lesson, it's
"Image is Nothing", but yo I got a thirst…Nothing, but yo I got a thirst
Nothing, but yo I got a thirst…what's first? Your rings or your purse?
Jonathan Davis (KoRn):
(Oh boy…oh boy! Make your wagers back there! Step lively…women and
children first! The world is coming to an end! Come on now…we're looking at
the end! We have to leave them…we have to leave all our paraphanelias
behind….{brought back…brought back….[repeated]} LET'S GOOOOO!)
It's kinda scary you see….
How fucked up things can be
Each time you take a bath
How it could have been your last
There's so much shit around us
Things we can't even see
Is this the end of our line?
That's where I wanna be….that's where I wanna be
That's where I want to be….that's where-I want-to be

lilke a little snotty dish of prodigy cookin'.
They called me Little Man all in the boulevard.
When I was young, my family used to party hard.
Gangs of uncatched kids turned to blood ketchup.
The illest niggas was Richard Pryor and Ronnie Bump.
Skinned knees from being bad-ass little boys.
Police si-re-ns and baby screams was average noise.
Hip-Hop came, the ghetto copped the soundtrack.
Street poetry to tracks, could you beat that?
Malik Taylor introduced it to me.
He said, 'Forget Benny Hill, nigga. Let's M.C.!'
Twelve years old, rhymin' in the backroom.
For echoes, we used to rhyme in the bathroom.
Run-D.M.C., Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh.
The Juice Crew rule but who's this nigga KRS?
Reference points, too many to wish for.
Battlin' niggas on trains, I stay raw.
Never let my dream die.
I was happy and high goin' to Alee's and Bed-Stuy

Jungle Brothers, De La, they gave me little light.
In Top, Three Feet, Buddy, that was aiiight.
One year later, the Tribe was initiated.
Bonita came, it was wild how she dominated.
Can I Kick It parled us to our next phase.
So drunk in those days, I truly was amazed
how I got up enough to make tunes. People
cheered me. It was Foreign, then came Low End Theory.
People quickly reconized who we are,
Phife is ill and Busta is a superstar.
Tours with P.E., Naughty, and the Geto Boys.
Arsenio Hall, women then were evil toys.
Whisperin' hate inside my brother's virgin ears.
Tryin to hurt but, yo, we stood amongst the tears.
Midnight was even tighter, now look at us.
Condoms is on the rida stored on the bus.
It got funky right here, I had to save my life.
In the snow after the show, I had a fight wit' Phife.
Moves to a land to get away but back home
job was urkin' us, it sent me throuh a danger zone.
The good thing, I found Allah in the process.
An angel appeared wit' sneaky ways and gave me stress.
Now what am I to do?
My album's platinum but I'm still feelin' blue. C'mon.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Makin' my way, the wilderness has grown fierce.
Redemption and my heart, both of them was pierced.
Crashed my truck, didn't think I'd make it out.
Had a hit on my life, he thought I screwed his wife!
Plus my house burned down, me and Ands was in it.
My crew was tired and I knew we had to end it.
But through all of this, I'm still here.
Take notes and let hope floats.
I'm still here. Take note and let hope float.

I'm still here. Take notes and let hope float.
You can do the same shit that I'm doin'.

Make you disappear quick, like you're part of wind
Then laugh, ah-ha ha, and laugh again
Shorty, move a lil bit, I'm looking at your friend
Let's get in there and shake for the beat, girl
Do a lil eye wink, throw a tongue twirl

[Q-Tip]
When the beat bang, and you're up in the club
When you listen and you feel a thug
When you hear my voice, understand the love
When the DJ spins it back, it's a friendly rub
But, when I'm behind, I cannot be kind
With your waistline, and the way you move
Like a old great beat, I'ma catch a groove
Or like a old hip-hop joint, you Nice & Smooth (Come on, girl)
[Chorus - Q-Tip]
This is just, for the nasty
A-yo, this is just for the sassy

Q-Tip:
Just feelin' things out for real, ya know?
Just wanna do me for real, ya know?
No reason to make it complicated, you feelin' agitated,
You love it or you hate it鈥uck it
Desperation, jumpin' off of street corners here
Hustlahz lookin for buzz like "pop one in here"
Local state officials鈥⌦㜱㬰.yeah they out of touch
Getting money for some, aiyo, ain't nothin' much
But yo鈥î›'et them tell it, we smoke it and we sell it
You don't understand, so don't tell it
You sneakin' souls just for phat diamond golds
Cuz our lady friends have likings for designer clothes
People in my hood think鈥⌦㜱㬰.if I'm lookin raggedy, then the cat is just a weak
link
In the very fake chain of oppression鈥⌦㜱㬰.if television taught me any lesson, it's
"Image is Nothing", but yo I got a thirst鈥othing, but yo I got a thirst
Nothing, but yo I got a thirst鈥î›
She work at Mickey-D's from 9 to 5, Wal-Mart 6 to 10
Saving up enough for school, her little girl is doing well
Daddy is a walking bum, smoking weed, drinking rum,
Couldn't leave her if I tried, I see her light is on inside.
Let's build.
She's in the back room, greasing up, Friday night is heating up
Young cats tricking up, dancing so they give it up.
The best girl working there and you know for what it's worth
She's working towards a better life, regardless if she's working nights
Let's build.
And the people go
bom-bom-de-bom-de-bom-bom (x4)
And even if she is
I dig her so
de-bom-bom-de-bom-de-bom-bom (x4)
And even if she is
I dig her so
She work at Mickey-D's from 9 to 5, Wal-Mart 6 to 10

The best girl working there and you know for what it's worth
She's working towards a better life, regardless if she's working nights
I'm just an arty music gigolo, life goes on with out me though
If you have some pay for me, I will come and play for thee
As long as I know she's there, I don't even really care,
cause even though our lives ain't right, I still see that better life
Let's build.

Stand up for yourself. Go!
Sit down, shut up.
No, then get the fuck up.
Don't let others always do for you.
Pampered into a coma by a world you hate.
Yet, you let it nuture you.
Stupid and lazy, right where they want you.
Coddled into complacency to give up and die.
To take a stand, it's gotta be your own feet, not the prepackaged newly improved ones they want you to buy.
Stand up for yourself.
Get up off the floor and get that welcome sign off your back.
It's time to get the taste of their shoes out of your mouth and stand.
[Q-Tip:]
Bodies in the street, killing over head
Marvel at the sky, as it turn blood red
Peelin' caps back til the white meat show
This is natural, for the little Afro
Pressure bust pipes, minds is feeling up
And when I lay it down, you ain't never getting up
Revenge is on my frequency dialing
Prayers for these fools, well it ain't worth wilding
You say that you a Samurai? Whatever
I'm fueled with my father, he's inside me forever
Ya'll ain't never seen this greedy young boy
Not constructed by girls, by games, by joy
See I'mma think for ya, I'mma think for me
Out think the enemy, constantly
It's murder on the rocks, slinging niggas on the roads
Citizens take cover as I shit on patrol
[Chorus x3: Q-Tip]
When they see me, they say 'Who that over there?'
Just a lil' dude with a head full of hair
Just a lil' dude, not a god damn care
Just a lil' dude, so you best to beware
[Free Murda:]
Phony niggas talk bull, but I know they don't kill
And they know it's for real, but I hope they don't squeel
They hold me bigger than a bull, to left my home alone grail
Only trigger that he pull, is on the hungry pope drill
Show you how the coke feel, four in yo dome, now go chill
He ain't never gettin' up like O did with no pills
V.I. pop stars, I'm strapped like Bokeem
Gettin' shot, pa, no turn back with those keys
Try'nna shop hard, bigger than obese
And I say I cop cars, I ain't talking bout the police
Nigga broke, pockets look like the ears of Odie
From Garfield, know how my heart feel
Winter Benz, stop the rims, do cartwheels
Now I'm the Man, like Meth from Park Hill
Bring a pound, cuz I smoke trees, a little hash too
Break ya down, so I can put weed in little capsules
[Q-Unique]
My world was a broken scene and a broken home
Broken dreams, and an open throne
My world my mother doing her best at avoiding doom
Me and my brother sleep on a cot in the boiler room
My world was a lineup for welfare getting food stamps
And moms working at shit jobs to feed her two champs
My world was my cousin leaving the earth in a Hurst
And my pops reappearing only to make matters worse
My world was watching dad beating up on mama
Brining his girlfriend to the house increase the drama
My world was divided once mom broke out
Took Jay with her and left me a mind full of doubt
My world was discovering the bullshit sittin broke
With dad smoking and sniffing coke with different folks
My world was stealing from grandma for dads bad habits
And my cousin John died a heroine addict
My world was a beat down for bad answers
And I plotted dads murder, God knows I had chances
My world was a stepmother three years older then me
God was at the door, the Devil was holding the key
[Chorus]
We all got a story to tell and here's mine
Told ma the rhyme, she was on the phone tears crying
Cant imagine why I'm against incredible odds
Wrote a complaint letter and sent it to god
I never asked to be born, but I've asked to die
Never asked for this shit, so I'm asking why?
What's the purpose of life if you can never prevail?
Tell me what should I expect when I was set up to fail?
My world became a planet in the dark sky
Blood opening the scenes of a shark's dark eye
Bad spirits is following the sun
I've got voices in my head saying “son you better run”
Nine different schools and nine different apartments
Made my mind dark but I'm a shine regardless
And that's when the thought of dealing crack came
I rhymed just to rhyme as a fan in the rap game
My gun in the innocent face that approached us
Now the cops surround the cafeteria like roaches
They found the .45 and the banana clip
But the bundle of crack was hidden under Anna's tit
Written letters to the judge, Mothers talk would work
A slap on the wrist and now I'm free to walk the earth
But she soon tired and thought that I was hopeless
So I had to sleep on D's couch, I was homeless
A peuto rock in a hard place, gotta drill through
With a stepdad saying spick I'm gonna kill you
I don't understand why God puts us through pain
Cast me in a storm and left me standing in the rain
Take a step to the left - and one to the right
And now turn round - do it on the other side
left hand on your hip - the right behind the neck
now hop around the room - always be glad
show us your teeth - and bang the head
your tongue until the nose - absolutely mad
Ref.:
Hey Everybody - c'mon dance with us
Do it now and do it fast !!!
This is definitely your last chance-
DO THE Q-FISH DANCE !!!!
2ndNow shake your bones - the legs to the ear
shout the Q-Fish out - everybody wants to hear
Hoppin' round and round - with the tip of the toe
pull your finger out - until the end of the show
This is the happiest dance - you've ever heard
feel funny and amazed - we'll gonna paint the town red

Hey Everybody - c'mon dance with us

Will she fit my dreams -or will I hide my face ?

"No sex" she cries -

Full time's a fool's time, time spent unwise.
A nut on a bolt in a machine I despise.
Selling away my life just so I can live.
It doesn't make much sense, yet I still punch in.
To another eight hours.
What am I doing here? Meaningless labor.
When do I escape here?
Life stopping, clock watching, as if I really care about the money they make and the little they share.
Sitting at the bottom of the corporate ladder.
Getting stampeded by the ones who feel it matters.
For another eight hours.
What am I doing here? Meaningless labor.
When do I escape here?
I remember career day back at school, yeah.
They couldn't fool me, but I guess they fooled you.
No, I don't want to be a working stiff loser.
For now, i do what I gotta do, but I don't ever want to end up like you.
For the rest of my life.
Play it safe, I'll arrange your wake
My papermate will have my lable-maced album released a later date
Police patrol the city 'til I'm as old as 50
Hat back, clothes won't fit me, causin fire, old won't frisk me
My hands are ammunition bailin cons or banned in prison
I'm who you wanna be blowin out your candles wishin
[HOOK 2: both]
["the beat scratched in"]
Makin it, makin it blend
YO... makin it blend

Yo, I like a woman wit a bangin body, the face and frame of Halle
Attitude - angry, snotty, speaks slang and cocky
Time to hangin gotta bring a posse
Through rainy days she got me, like Whitney stay wit Bobby
[Q-Tip]
Yo, your cake is in the kitchen, you wish for preminision
It's turned around by my firm thoughts of demolition
It's time to numb your run and dim your vision
It's time to give up the hopes and dreams that made your aquesition
[Wordsworth]
Ain't gotta drop top dag clothes and roll the 60s
But after shows, ladies drop tops and show their titties
Of course the globe can't oppose, it's risky
Or even go against me, I'm WORDS,
so everytime that you flow you spit me
[Q-Tip]
We in the asphault, you cause your last fall
Insult to injury is where we curse the salt
Douse the open wound to the tomb
Its time to sit back and watch professionals in full bloom
[HOOK 1]
I look at all the homeless people then I jump out of the way of your Beemer.
Something's not right.
Then I see your great big empty homes.
Gucci watches and cellular phones and I know something's not right.
You want, well you never need.
It all comes easy, when you can buy opportunity.
You got gold trim.
Trimming everything.
All to feed your fucking prestige.
Your wealth is a fucking sick joke on the lives that die while you buy status symbols.
Are they human? Are you human?
Roll up your tinted windows and you'll never have to know.
You had such a hard day shopping from rich pocket to rich pocket.
Something's not right.
I see you with your retail trash.
Step over the poor into your cab and I know something's not right.
Money is greater than human life.
