[Instrumental]
....
i watched the water rise in our house
the rain poured in and washed out our stuff
my father drank from beer bottles
then he'd say
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
all that we had was deep in the mud
our photographs and family treasures
my mother drank from beer bottles
then she'd say
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
don't let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)
don't let the sun go down (and let your light go out)
don't let yourself fall down
just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your
feet
walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
Find it in you, raise your eyes
Look beyond the place you stand
Towards the furthest reaches
And to the smallest of things
The sound you are hearing
Is the symphony of what we are
Revelation will not come
With heart and mind closed and divided
No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light
Throw away the mantle
Awake from your uncertain hesitation
No way to describe or equate the feeling
No end to what is at your command
A million thoughts run through you
Concentric circles, ever greater
But you have always known
This is not all there is
To your questions there'll be answers
No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light
Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light
Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light
Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light
Let there be, let there always be
(Lyrics & Music: G. Thorpe, C. Albert, L. Howe)
I hear what you're sayin'
And you're sayin' nothin'
You're talking in circles
A picture's worth a thousand words
I picture you silent
Not another word
Oh no! here it comes again
The sound of your voice
Must be your only friend
Why can't you understand
You're makin' me a wreck
Why can't you understand
You're boring me to death
Perpetual...
If I had a dime
For every reason, rhyme or lie
I would surely be
The richest man alive
They say that talk is cheap
Well they don't know ya
They really can't afford ya...
I see you looking and I know what you think
You're getting braver with every drink
But I am telling you something
You ought to know
She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him she ain't hearing a thing
If you were smart you'd turn around
And let her go
That girl's a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
(She's a Barbie doll)
She's real good looking
She got no heart at all
Puts on her makeup and she drives to the bar
In her boyfriend's, old man's brand new car
She's got no idea
What she does or why
She does whatever she wants, I guess
Whatever comes first, whatever looks best
Nobody I know
Has ever seen her cry
She's a Barbie doll
Yeah, a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's real good looking
But she got no heart at all
She's a Barbie doll
Yeah, a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's real good looking
But she got no heart at all
You should've seen her last Saturday night
She had a friend of mine, he was treating her right
Hanging on him
'Til she found a better deal
You should've seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said, "Why not?"
Nobody I know
Swears she's even real
Yeah, she's a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's real good looking
But she got no heart at all
(She ain't got no heart at all)
Yeah, she's a Barbie doll
Yeah, a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's real good looking
But she got no heart at all
Yeah, she's a Barbie doll
Yeah, a Barbie doll
Yeah, she's real good looking
Many have faded in silent garden,
faded and perished
Scarlet leaves increase on meadow,
where I was once with you
"I have shed tears for love
like winds I dance the leaves away
those scarlet leaves"
And This immense cradle of leaves
I shall ignite on flames
And I gaze how sheet of flames
billows submit serenity
I kiss your, glacial tear and your cheek feels so real
You tread away from me and
[Ebony Eyez:]
See when you a trendsetter, they picking vendettas
Think you know a bitch betta' then go get her
I'm the new breed
What the game need
Suffocating hoes ain't leaving room to breathe
And my brown skin, so arousing
Niggas get to growling and howling
I put it in they face and ask how it tastes
You don't go down then I ain't got no time to waste
I am who I am won't let 'em change me
And that fake barbie doll shit just ain't me
I'm the realest and you got to feel this
New Edition with the 'Poison' like Michael Bivens
They try to play me bogus and now they taking notice
Saying I'm the dopest and these other bitched hopeless
Yeah I'm feisty they wanna wife me
Cause I'm the the S.H.I.T. - sugar honey ice tea
Think you know a bitch better then go get her
Suffocating hoes ain't leaving room to breathe
I am who I am they wont change me
