I had guards like watchdogs dogs in a manger i could feel the protection possession and anger and i drove out of there with no one behind me feeling funny and free all you pretty pretenders negligent vendors aren't you precious inside i have no need for anger with intimate strangers and i got nothing to hide i laughed as i said it this is my situation it's not pictures or privilege its just self preservation i don't want you to feel any obligation would it be so funny to be free all you pretty pretenders negligent vendors aren't you precious inside i have no need for anger with intimate strangers and i got nothing to hide we act empty and innocent but we are fueled by distortions (i remember you when we were shiny and new) of lives led in discontent trading misfortunes (now you guard your faith) cause faith is one thing that is hard to deliver (temper your speed) it feels funny being free all you pretty pretenders negligent vendors aren't you precious inside i have no need for anger with intimate strangers
Oh my love you've been
So much on my mind
I've been waiting
For this day to arrive
It's been so long
I watched the hours go by
It really doesn't matter
Got you here by my side
I was blind now baby
I see the light
Love is kind yeah
'Cause you've made it alright
Stay with me
So close forever in time
See what you're really feeling
Say you'll always be mine
Reunion
Together this time
Reunion
Forever be mine
Will not believe it
Never see you again
Everyone's saying
You're a fool in the end
Whispering words
They make me feel so ashamed
They tried so hard to stop me
Still I call out your name
I was dreaming
In a world of my own
Tears of sorrow
Let me cry all alone
What could I do
A thousand nights without you
No more empty heartache
Can't believe that it's true
Reunion
Together this time
Reunion
Forever be mine
Feel so fine yeah
'Cause you're back with me now
It's a true love story
Knew we'd make it somehow
Goodbye blues
We're gonna leave you behind
Now we're here together
You're just wasting your time
Sunshine calling
Must be love in the air
Ain't that something
We've got more than our share
Love returns
When love is true
No more sad or parting
Baby I got you
Reunion
Together this time
Reunion
Forever be mine
Reunion
Together this time
Reunion
Forever be mine
[I. No Separation]
Now there is no separation
Standing in the culmination
Of the very love we've never known
Now that we are back together
Striving to be one forever
Let this be the time we call our own
One mind learning one, two, three
One voice singing ecstasy
One heart changing full and free
One love forging unity
Now the way is open for us
A sacrifice made to restore us
To be bring us back the way we used to be
As we once were in the garden
Through his son he gave the pardon
Now we can come back as priests and kings!
[Chorus]
One mind learning one, two, three
One voice singing ecstasy
One heart changing full and free
One love forging unity
It will be......oh my God...
[II. Grand Finale]
[III. Make Us One]
One heart
One voice
One love
One spirit
On our knees with open arms with worship in one spirit
Make us one
Precious Father
Make us one
Make us one
Change will come
Change is here
Love fades out
Then love appears
Now my water's turned to wine
And these thoughts I have
I now claim as mine
I'm coming home
Change has been
Change will be
Time will tell
Then time will ease
Now my curtain has been drawn
And my heart can go
Where my heart does belong
Halos roam
In the stars tonight
Angels guide you home
With the silver light
A distant silhouette
The haze begins to clear
I feel you throwing me
To the beat of my heart
And I hear your voice through the distance
Calling my name
And do you hear the answer from the still of my soul
Wasted until this day of reunion
Seven years ago
I watched you leave
How could you know the vamp
The time won't veer
We walk down separate ways
Toward those steps we missed
We were always meant for these
Moments from now
And I hear a voice through the distance
Calling my name
And do you hear the answer from the still of my soul
Wasted until this day of reunion
And I hear a voice through the distance
And I hear your voice through the distance
Calling my name
And do you hear the answer from the still of my soul
Wasted until this day of reunion
We come and go
To the beat of a heart
To the beat of my soul
We come and go
We come and go
To the beat of my heart
We come and go
(We come and go)
To the beat of my soul
(We come and go)
(We come and go)
I hear your voice in the distance
Calling me, calling
(We come and go)
(We come and go)
I hear your voice in the distance
Calling me, calling me
(We come and go)
(We come and go)
I hear your voice calling out my name
Calling out my name
We come and go
We come and go
So long I've searched for you
So long but now it's true
Girl it's our reunion. reunion
It's our reunion, reunion
I'm always here I'm in yo ear, yeah
Love stereo so don't you fear, don't fear
Cause it's our reunion. reunion
Since last we loved
No-one's come near
No girl can ever compare
To you my dear
Girl it's our reunion.
Reunion. Reunion, Reunion
It's our reunion
It's today you say you're leaving, darlin'
Time comes when you must follow your own star
And though my silly mind is sick with fear
In my heart I know that these differences just go to show
How much the same we are
Someday we'll build a new home
Up in the canyon by the falls
Splashing water our companion
Under shooting stars
And when Mother Earth and Father Time
Reunite us one more time
We'll remember that we've never been apart
So step on out into the big world
Where all your dreams are waiting to come through
The first time we touched I felt a love so real, so much
That I knew I'd never say goodbye to you
Someday we'll build a new home
Up in the canyon by the falls
Splashing water our companion
Under shooting stars
And when Mother Earth and Father Time
Reunite us one more time
We'll remember that we've never been apart
Yo L and Ten killin' 'em, Three killin' 'em
You thought we broke up but we was reassembalin'
Ladies and gentlemen you barewitnessin'
The villa on some classic shit like vans in balims
It's the gorrila pimps, we bustin' denim in the club
That you can't wear ya denim in
Freakin' a rhyme 'til every line ends with a then and than
You don't wanna rump and stomp in Timberlands
Shout to my nigga kill again
And all of my peps that rep more D then 12 Eminems
Who let the dogs out and let Dilla in?
Fuck wit' this is ya loss Gilligan
Sounds simila I'm not feelin' 'em
Get the bars like Venus in Wimbelon
While I'm in them fly whips five Will and 'em
On some Kim and 'em all about the Benjamins
Still here never left just switched the style up
Came through made moves to get the crowd up
It's hard time, "V" time, nigga ya times up
Get rowed up for the reunion
L kill'n 'em, Dilla kill'n 'em
Maybe we could hook up again back wit' Ten and them
Together again with all forces on some
Fantastic four or four horsemen
Can't do it without ya crew boy
Guess who boy, come'n through wit' two boy
Nobody but us that rap in a clutch
Passed and switched it up like kids in double dutch
Some couldn't feel our style or feel our flow
Ever talked our slang never walked our roads
All they know is these niggaz is tainted
Don't know about [Incomprehensible] that candy painted
We've been miss quoted, miss con-screwed
Miss understood and over used
So we take this time to set the record straight
Critics skipped and did it, we did it anyway
Now you hear our raps wit' Dilla and you all on our team
Till you heard Ten was gone was apart of he skem
See, we still got love where was you at at?
Just 'cuz a nigga go solo think we turned our backs
Maybe we will reunite on some shit like that
But I gotta set it straight for' you twists the facts nigga
We still here never left just switched the style up
Came through made moves to get the crowd up
It's hard time, "V" time, nigga ya times up
Get rowed up for the reunion
Yo T kill'n 'em, Three kill'n 'em
You thought we broke up and ya you rite we really did
I wrote a verse that I recited it was hot
But I had to rewrite 'cuz I thought we was united and we not
But though all the love that I got for you
Parna I picked apart ya words and I'm shooked in them interviews
I been accused of not care'n
When the city threw your furniture out
It's not fair when I'm learnin' about how stress you fell in a article
Forget a rhyme I'm just as real when I talk to you
And you know that we share Kodak moments
I wish we could go back
But don't act like you wasn't bug'n out like a phone tap
Chase'n cars in the street
I saw you throw a part in the sink
Then after hit the bar for a drink who asked you to slow down?
Eventhough niggaz told me you was gon' clown but I tried
You didn't know I cried when I saw you whallen at the State Theater
In the door by the side
Wanted to throw you in the trunk and found a preacher for you
'Cause I thought you had unlawful demons on you
Sink'n fast in the deepest soil
Ya parents finally got you some help
You came out seem'n normal and
I heard you on medication
Had a illness you couldn't heal with herbs and meditation
And believe me, Me and T, Three kept it low
Don't take this as a dis, this is just to let you know that I love you
But watch the company you keep
Sware niggaz don't care, but they love you in the streets
In the year of my decline
Sucking freezies in the rain
Driving twisted in the suburbs
And then driving back again
Seventeen and half alive
Headlights illuminate the school
Inhale the powder from the science class, yeah nearly dying felt so cool
Your face is all that hasnt changed
Youre reassembled just like me
But when i reach to touch your hand
You stroke mine gently
All i want is one more chance to be young and wild and free
All i want is one more chance to show you,
You were right for me
You were right for me
Im back in gym and its the same
As my name tag floats away
I had 6 too many drinks last night yes
And thats why i made you stay
Plus i always wanted you
You liked to rock it in your car
You said you didnt understand me
Because i always tried to see too far
Well Tainted Love's too fast to dance to
So lets leave them all behind
They hated us with everything they had
And we hated them in kind
All i want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All i want is one more chance to show you,
You were right for me
[Noreaga]
{*howling*} CNN (CNN!) CNN
The reunion man.. we back again man.. are y'all ready man?
Hahahahahaha, yo, yo
My niggaz get locked up, and when they come home
it's mink coats and Cristal, just ask Capone
We play the game like mobsters, Oliver Stone flicks
Based on a true story, it's Nore'
And all of my niggaz buck for me, the projects love me
It feel good to have love in the hood
And I ain't got to buy weed, cause my credit is good
Machine gun lyrics, CN lift spirits
Smoke more weed than dreads, hip-hop heads
gotta, listen to this before they piss in they beds
My mission instead, leave these niggaz missin and dead
and leave em dumped in a river, buttnaked and red
N.O., erase niggaz no pro-blemo
Keep a razor in my mouth - spit it out
And I never had to move nothin, I shit it out
And I still got it but I had to Thug It Out
Chorus: CNN (repeat 2X)
Yo, it's like my mission just to live this way
I had to sell things, but I wanted to live each day
The real people do real things
So why is real people still doin fake things? HUHHH?
[Nore]Peace God
[Cap]Whattup nigga?
[Nore]I'm glad you home
So we could, take over the world, it's ours to own
[Cap]Stars that bone from the ghetto, to cars and homes
[Nore]Laced out, Jesus piece, ice the face out
[Cap]My Niggaz On The Run they place out
Flee fiends with the cake mouth
Automatic guns, bullets spray out
[Nore]Lay out, what? Gimme the cash and the coke
Sometimes I got money, and I still feel broke
And sometimes I got reefer and I don't even smoke
[Cap]I don't sleep, ninety-five percent of the time I'm woke
The other 5 is when a nigga high, hear the thugs cry
[Nore]And me, I'm Thugged Out, I just sleep on the floor
with the rats and the roaches, keepin it raw
[Cap]My heat is the fourth, while y'all niggaz lean on the law
[Nore]Peter pay Paul, an outlaw, he stuck up the mall
[Cap]I watch for the cops, still a Thug after the deal
CNN gotta thug it for real
Chorus
[Capone]
Thuggology's the major, paper
Capone-N-Noreaga teach ya, villainize your whole nature
The law was built around capers since the years of the West
and are you real or fake? How many thugs hear the question
Twenty grand on the lawyer, extra hundred for bail
Next to death's kiko, is goin to jail
Unassissted, I shivered and frail
My ice similar to hail yo, for the 85 that's in braille
I keep Chanel on my hoes, crazy blowin the scale
Mad chickens for my thugs locked, low on the mail
Yo it's 'Pone or it's Fonz, either pretty or thug
Whichever way it's called, in every city a slug
If I was dyin would a true fan give me they blood
and would my man take the stand, lie in front of the judge?
My thesis, be one of a thug, prestigious
I rock fatigued up, down in Cali khakis with the creases
Chorus 2X
The sorrow's only temporary
Overshadowed by the joy
When our reunion is complete
Never to part again
I want to see you there
I'm going to see you there
SOMEDAY
All of the anguish in this life
Will be a faded memory
We will begin to live a life
You came out of nowhere. Stealing my heart and brain.
Flaming my every cell. You make me feel myself.
Oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh… Will you stay in this land forever?
Across the time and space. A never-ending dance.
A blooming and a trance. You make me feel my soul.
There's no more loneliness. Only sparkles and sweat.
There's no more single fate. You make me feel myself.
Oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh… Will you stay in this land forever?
My body is like a lightning rod. Capsize me and douse me in your bay.
A shiver of want, always. When you are on the tip of my tongue.
In the back of your parked car. I could build a fort. And play all day. Between your lips.
Let's stay here forever.
We are each others sons and daughters, mothers and
fathers, sisters and brothers
Let your love shine on me like a little piece of
heavenly light from above. God bless this reunion
We came from all over
From coast to coast, from sea to shining sea,
we're one big family... you and me
Let your love shine on me like a little piece of
heavenly light from above. God grace this reunion
We're celebrating our good fortune
We're celebrating what it means to be happy,
to be living, to be thankful, to be giving,
to be loving, to be healing, to be you and me
So let your love shine on me like a little piece of
heavenly light from above. God grace this reunion
Let your love shine on me like the first day of a
brand new century. God bless this reunion
We visit a life we both left behind
Ignore the heart
Move to the ever-moving
Or, blazin', we go over
And over and over and over again
If I wait too long,
I'll lose you from my sight
Maybe tonight
I could stop dreaming
And start believing in forever
And ever and ever and ever again
Reunion, reunion
Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again
And it's burning inside 'til you give it up
How long should I wait?
There's no need to hide, from this
Only you in here
There's an end to us with someone else inside
You shine your light
There goes that feeling, won't let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Never not ever again
Did I (Never not ever) see you (Never again)
See me (Never not ever) in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did I see you, see me?
I spent my life in search for you
Not knowing what to find
Still wonder how did I pull through
Without you on my mind
Friends tell me you're no good for me
I'll show them all they're wrong
'cause you are everything to me
It never felt so strong
Without you Nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
My life can never be the same
You are a miracle to me
Your face I can't forget
I just feel we're bound to be
>From the moment that we met
I've been waiting for someone like you
Now you've come my way
Sometimes I can't believe it's true
I hope you're here to stay
Without you Nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
My life can never be the same
Listen to thies heart of mijne
It's filled with dear desire
For you're the kind I tried so long to find
You set my soul on fire
Without you Nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
I spent my life in search for you
Not knowing what to find
Still wonder how did I pull through
Without you on my mind
Friends tell me you're no good for me
I'll show them all they're wrong
'Cause you are everything to me
It never felt so strong
Without you nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
My life can never be the same
You are a miracle to me
Your face I can't forget
I just feel we're bound to be
From the moment that we met
I've been waiting for someone like you
Now you've come my way
Sometimes I can't believe it's true
I hope you're here to stay
Without you nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
My life can never be the same
Listen to thies heart of mine
It's filled with dear desire
For you're the kind I tried so long to find
You set my soul on fire
Without you nothing can turn out right
I lie awake all night
Without you I keep calling your name
My life can never be the same
Without you
Without you
