Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa
You’ve been lost with them rookies
Young Khalifa on this pro shit
So sick of standin still I could get you in motion
Trips out in the sand
Rollin swishers by the ocean
Toastin, private seats on the cloud and we ghostin
Used to play the low
Now you can’t help but get noticed
Startin to get approached and your
Girlfriends gettin nosey
Still you hold me down,
Hold me down ain’t ‘fraid to show it
I know she someone I can grow with
Chorus: K-Young
Girl I wanna know, girl I need to know
If you really with me, if you’re not then you can go
Girl I wanna know,
Would you tell me a lie? No
If you ever leave my side, no
Would you play with my time? No
If you rider put em
In the air (x12)
Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa
Tell me what’s your name
Here’s my number you can call me
Can’t deal with a wife
But you can be my little shorty
I can be your star
We can kick it out in orbit
Or get done with this,
Flip somewhere and record it
Says she got a man,
But her man she gettin bored with
Love me cause I grind,
She don’t mind where I be tourin
Don’t got lots of time, therefore
I can’t be your boyfriend
I’m more than in the air, soarin
Chorus: K-Young
Girl I wanna know, girl I need to know
If you really with me, if you’re not then you can go
Girl I wanna know,
Would you tell me a lie? No
If you ever leave my side, no
Would you play with my time? No
If you rider put em
In the air (x12)
Bridge: K-Young
I won’t be excited to sit at home
Waitin to hear the phone ringin
No, oh, oh, I won’t
Even though I’m in love with you
Yes I’m in love with you
Girl I’m hopin that forever we’ll be tight now
Let me put in on the table for you right now
Chorus: K-Young
Girl I wanna know, girl I need to know
If you really with me, if you’re not then you can go
Girl I wanna know,
Would you tell me a lie? No
If you ever leave my side, no
Would you play with my time? No
If you rider put em
Built in the belly of junk by the river, my cabin stands;
Made from the trash I dug off the heap with my own bare hands.
Every night I'm back at the shack, I'm sure no one is there,
I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the air...
On the air
On the air
On the air
Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and tramps
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps.
Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there,
But they're all going to know who I am, 'cos I can go out on the air.
(On the air...)
Leaving the car down the leafy lane,
Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane.
Anyone at all, from Captain Zero
And his band of superheroes standing by on call.
Oh it's not easy,
No it's not easy making real friends...
Don't give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys,
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise,
I've got power, I'm proud to be loud, my signal goes out clear,
He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here with you
He knows no one shines forever
They change with the weather
He said, "I've now stayed too long here"
Good bye she said, I'll wait here for you
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As the leaves should follow
They leave tomorrow
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean
I'll swallow the ocean
He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here to you
I know the sorrow is sacred
And I'll never break you
I'll softly save you
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean
[Intro: Joe Budden]
Chea, GC, Rest In Peace
Mojo, Rest In Peace
Champ gon' Rest In Peace
Little Reg gone Rest In Peace
Slick Senior, you gon Rest In Peace
Keith gon' Rest In Peace
I need all y'all to Rest In Peace
To all my niggaz Rest In Peace
[x2]
[Verse: Joe Budden]
I know my dead homies watching upon us
But uh, I aint gotta know a nigga to mourn
See a real nigga crying it's torture
Get the candles and the drinks
We gon' have our own wake on the corner
You could just vision
All of the memories
Hennesy guzzling and you buggin
Cuz you was just with him
God called for his son it was time
You gotta have peace with the Lord
Wish you it's on just one last time
Some think that nothin about it is good
He got what every nigga dreams of, he's out of the hood
So why we all sit in the hood cryin liquer
He's in heaven laughing like "look at my niggaz"
They all sobbing, them tears aint stopping
God throw em a sign and let them know I'm still watching
Time passes and things get poppin
Like "He woulda wanted, if he was here that woulda been his option"
It's back to old times as if he just popped in
You had to take somebody Jesus not him
All my real niggaz put a lighter in the air
There's a fighter in the air
That cloud right there
And I know my time is coming like everybody elses
(But) But by then I hope that everybody felt this
Always that one hateful nigga make it seem like everybody's jealous
Somebody here don't like me breathin
I know somebody here's tryna spite me steamin
Spite how I ride these Sprees and dap me
Goin to projects, at the end of the night I'm leavin
One of my old mans has now burnt out
Mic off me, never know how things turn out
Cuz even your close friends'll steal ya
Come to think of it, I could be real cool with my po-tential killer
That's called taking the bitter with the sweet
The skip with the verse
The gift with the curse
Somebody wants to see the kid in a hearse
But I'll die for this rap shit, clips will disperse
Kill for this rap shit, it gets reversed
Murder you lethal (So)
So don't watch if the convertable bleeds you
Take your pick with the clips
How you want it, reversible or see-through?
I be another locked dog in the fort
And another wake on the corner will be all my fault
Another body inside the Caddy
That'll make my Moms right cuz I'll be in jail just like Daddy
Daddy come home, something aint right
I think the Lord bout to call 'pon Uncle Mike
Mike got high and he wasn't too strong
Doc said he got cancer and it wouldn't be long
Said in another six months he'll be gone
Pops still play that one gospel song every morn'
Stopped gettin high so it's no more pipe
And they found medicine that'll extend his life
Years past and, Mike's still here he's not hurt
Gospel song every morn it's funny how God works
Wait! He's got the disease, he's different again
He's starting to get sick and shit's missing again
Now that monthly cheque he's spending again
Goddamn Uncle Mike is sniffing again
Dad, Mike sprung
And God put the cancer in his lungs like
Fuck that cure you had a choice
Disease is so cunning when you trippin' high
You can't throw away the gift of life
Nigga you take it or leave it
Nigga play it to keep it
Nigga safe retreated
Cuz if the Lord come take it you heed it
No funeral homes, not for you
And I don't really wanna visit in the hospital
Don't wanna see you like that cuz I'mma be too scared
I'd rather meet my own demise and meet you There
God I can't make pretend
At least take me first so I aint gotta see you take my friends
Some things I can't even figure, like why you have to take him for?
Come on God answer me nigga
Another tatoo, another name sprayed on the back window of the car for a month
Another family shattered, in tears
Another night on my knees with a new name added to my prayers
All the things we still feelin
Cuz on a nice day when the sky's clear I'm gon' see y'all staring
Extend your arm, take this pound
To all my lost soldiers in the booth with me while I lay this down
(P. Bardens)
Here we are
Must be somewhere
But you don't seem to know the faces
You'll survive
This hurt inside
It's only lover's changing places
Nobody ever knows the way you feel
Nobody ever knows but you
In the light
In the shadow
In between the feeling grows
On the edge of tomorrow
But tomorrow never knows
No matter where you are or what you do
Nothing will ever change but you
On the air tonight
On the air tonight
Nobody ever knows
Take a rose
Call it sorrow
But It's a rose by any other name
So it goes
And we will follow
Like petals scattered in the falling rain
Nobody ever knows the way you feel
Nobody ever knows but you
On the air tonight
On the air tonight
i don't think they know which s-it but i do, i do

(chorus)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
There in the air
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
There in the air
I had a dream last night about the other side
And I must confess that it was quite the ride
I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there
Gave me quite the scare (uh huh)
Ya see, people were afloat all around me
Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me
Everything was grand till I noticed one thing
That you, my friend, weren't on the scene
(Time for this)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
There in the air
I've been workin' all morning trying to spin my dream
Cause I just can't believe you weren't in my dream
Remember you and I said we would paint the sky
And the leaves on the trees and the stars at night
We made beats and we even wrote rhymes
And played golf, I think, a million times
Now we never got around to spiritual matters
But we sure made time for our mindless chatter
(Go DJ... ???)
(repeat chorus)
(Say what?)
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
(Hello) wassup (wassup) how ya doin' (just fine)
I was sorta wonderin', could we make the time
(Just to kick it) why not at our usual spot
Latte's in May, mine cold, yours hot
(So where we goin') much deeper than our usual chat
(Like who's beats is weak and who's beats is phat)
Nah, my man, this some next level junk
(Like when we discussed if Tiger Woods could dunk)
Just meet me there, seven o'clock, rain or shine ???
With a fat cup of bean and a wide open mind
(Man that's heavy)
(repeat chorus)
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin'
There in the air
(Hallelujah)
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin'
There in the air
There is something and it can change
There is something and it can change
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey the time has come to understand
Teen dreams have worked their way through me now
There is something and it can change
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Keep trying, keep searching
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Keep trying, keep searching yeah!
No, no, no, no you're sometimes close to lose your mind
Ha, ha, ha, ha too much sun will leave you blind
There is something and it can change
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Keep trying, keep searching
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Keep trying, keep searching yeah!
No matter where you start
No matter where you go
Stay on your path my friend
It's gonna lead you there
No matter where, no matter how
No matter where you start...Hey!
No matter where you go...Hey! Hey!
Stay on your path my friend
It's gonna lead you there
No matter where, no matter how
Every prayer's got to reach their goal
As every stream will reach the sea
Hey, hey, hey, hey the time has come to understand
Teen dreams have worked their way through me now
There is something and it can change
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Keep trying, keep searching
Tell me what it is, tell how it works
Mistakes, done over and over again
Voices, heard over and over again
Escape from one’s self
Escape into salvation
One word – one gesture and everything is over
Long silence – empty thoughts
Escape into another phase
Escape from reality
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
The leprous sign branded onto the forehead
Like stricken by diseaseGuilt sought by one’s self
The guilt of salvation
The night passes – silence remains
Unsolved questions remain as a wall
The guilt of the other phase
The guilt of fear of reality
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self
An other life – an other death – an other destination – an other self

Just meet me there, seven o'clock, rain or shine
In the year when your bicycle broke
You were crying in the yard
But the world was a glorious game
New adventures stole your heart
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
In the year when the future was lost
You were fighting in the class
Headed west with your wits and snarl
Left your parents in the past
'78 was the year you explored
Tore your clothes and shaved your head
Joined a band with a broken down van
Thought your life was really swell
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
You only full for what you really want to
Save it all, save it all
Save it all and want your tears away
Save it all, save it all
Save it all and want those tears
It has gone, it has gone
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
Jump, jump in with both feet forward
Don't give in to all those voices
they say what doesn't kill you
only makes you
you know, stronger
and we're all given something inside us
that drives us
that's with us for the rest of our lives
Jump, jump in with both feet forward
Don't give in to all those voices
that are telling you about past failures
killing you before you've had your chance to live
are you listening?
your chance to live is right before you
so put it down on paper
sing it out loud, loud
lock yourself in your room
then come out
as beautiful as you are
Jump, jump in with both feet forward
Don't give in to all those voices
that are telling you about past failures
killing you before you've had your chance to live
their whispering
and you cannot win
over thinking over thinking to much time idle mind/made yourself depressed practicing perfect/stood
stagnate as time was passing/sun shining in the medicine cabinet/detached from my body trying to reengage/
with a sharpened mind and a child like faith/get out of your head and find some
interaction/hello how you doing thanks for asking/something’s in the air tonight/i was on the
phone/making plans calling friends/are you all alone/when the world catches up/it’ll be too late/hey
now look out/hey now look out/set in your ways it’s hard to see how things can change/repeat these
steps until it’s a habit/watching from a distance losing interest/see the world different anything can
happen/like little children feeling brilliant/watch the evening sky split into a million/conversation
pieces/your imagination speaking/putting possibilities into categories/swore to live life with no
regrets/we expected and planned for the best/learned how to take it as it comes instead/thrill to thrill

Yeah.. ahh, back to that old shit!
For all you FAKE-ass teachers out there
Aiyyo Kris.. break this shit up!
[KRS-One]
The type of lyrical terrorism I present
Educates people, at the same time pays my rent
You've been hearin me now for the past twelve semesters
When the suckers stepped up, I had to use the drastic measures
I know you want to step to me kid!
But you're thinkin, "Damn, Kris is kinda big!"
Plus he rolls wit a crew that don't care
And drops a hit album, hit video, hit single every year
From your eye drops a tear
I don't play that shit, I play that hit
Your whole gangsta image is not legit
You heard _Criminal Minded_, and bit the whole shit
Now if I punch you in your face I'd be wrong
Don't even think about battling with a song
You'll be gone, your career ain't strong enough to call my bluff
You ain't rough, you ain't tough, you'll be handcuffed
With your ribcage crushed
Naked in a box, with multicolored tube socks
You know my FUCKIN name
Blastmaster KRS is thinkin LONG range!
Yeah we in there, yeah yeah (repeat 4X)
[KRS-One]
They are in there, like you'll soon be in prison
(You await and this is faggot, your ass you'll be given)
Who you kiddin? You're only tryin to rock a party
You ain't really down to shoot nobody
So why you frontin? Sayin from the cops you be runnin
In jail in a pair of panties you look just stunning
You pop all that wannabe shit on vinyl
Until your ass is bein pumped by some faggot named Lionel
In jail you ain't got respect
You a fairy, I'll be takin your commisary
And the picture of your sister, mister
As seamy as Pee-Wee Herman, I ain't trying to diss her
This ain't no bullshit game and I ain't changed
I'm just thinkin LONG range
People died so I can rhyme..
you think I'm gonna grab the mic and waste my nation's time?
Step up with that weak shit
You're psychologically, historically, and spiritually sick
Plus you're on my dick
Changin the subject, your rhyme style ain't correct
You know my FUCKIN name!
Blastmaster KRS is thinking LONG range!
Yeah we in there, yeah yeah (*repeats*)
KRS.. Kenny Parker.. Willie D.. from Long Island
Heather B.. Ska-Danks..
D-Square.. Sidney Mills..
Ha-ohhhh.. go Brooklyn, go Brooklyn!
Go Bronx! (Go Brooklyn, go Brooklyn!)
The Bronx! Yell Southside Bronx!
Southside Bronx! Southside Bronx!
Southside Bronx! Southside Bronx!

Where you at over here are you over there
It's time for my introduction
You might not know me anymore
It's just a case of abduction
There's menace in Etherea
We're woven into absolution
We're tired of the falter call
Don't care much for some bland illusion
There's menace in Etherea
In desperation we are martyred
Screaming as the stones are cast
Drowning in rejected wisdom
[George Carlin sample:]
That's right, I'm a loyal American and I'm not happy
Unless I've let government and industry poison me a little bit every day
Let me have a few hundred thousand carcinogens here
Ahh, a little cancer never hurt anybody
Everybody needs a little cancer I think
It's good for you
[Bronze Nazareth:]
Yo, and as he wrote his will, it gave me the chills
Something in the shadows, you know how that goes
And crosses don't share emotions, barely floating
Holding in words that's causing emotion
Just like the ocean breeze teases you with summer
Something living under my consciousness, what's the next obstacle?
The next platform is chains, but we act like everything is the same
Everything's arranged as far as we know
But I can feel it in my chromosomes
Something ain't right, I always wondered what's the trouble at night
What's the thunder feel like, when the cancer cells bite
I'm like flights in the night, cruise with no eyes
When the condition got me down, I tried to stay high
Fuck Vietnam, Agent Orange and flouride
I got sore eyes from the burn of a scorn life
A chemo therapy, atoms you brought home those nights
[Interlude: Bronze Nazareth (?)]
I knew something was up, man (yeah the doctor said it'll be alright though)
Feel it in my bones, man (you know that's life)
How you feeling now? (you know, I'm alright baby)
Everything good? (yeah, yeah)
It's good to hear from you though (it's good to hear from you too)
(I'm a be alright, man) aight
[Bronze Nazareth:]
Yo, something pulling at me, my veins is drumming
I know my blood pressure bust pipes, I'm a stroke of genius on mics
Shit feel strange tonight, look out the front door, grass frosted
Visions of Jesus carrying crosses, I'm kind of off it
Shit is too heavy, my lungs tight
Heartbeat steady, my palms sweaty, in the kitchen, she bitching
Dinner almost ready, my shadow in the bay window
Back of my skull tingles, can't find the fucking remote
I hate these videos, same shit, different toilet deceiving
Like I can ask Marvin Gaye Sr. why did you peel him?
Damn, I must be blow, smoke clouds in the air
Slumped down in the chair, heard the snare or was it a shot
My girl said I looked pale, and spilled my wine on the couch...
Now the ground comes up too fast
Too fast to meet you
In clouds of dust erupting
Thick around your feet, be careful
In the rubble in waiting
Wall to wall where you tread
Now the quick and the dead and the same old
Fates come calling cards away
How do you think it came to pass you
By the hard way by desire
How do you think it came to pass you by?
On the wire
I don't sleep so I don't dream
So I don't wake up frightened
Everything is what it seems if
You look deep enough tonight and
See.....
On the wire
On the wire
On the wire
I will not fall
repeat
It's not the liars that can set your free
It's not the riches that you can't foresee
No, it's not the monkey or the LSD
It's not the powers that be
It's always in the air
It's always in the air
And it always will be there
It's always in the air
It's not decisions made in city halls
It's not amusement parks or shopping malls
No, it's not the preachers when the tower falls
It's not the manipulated laws
(Repeat chorus)
It's in the answer no one ever knows....
It's in the orphan children no one chose....
Turn the radio off. It's just commercials made by stars.
Turn down the auto-tune and reveal those wounds
and scars. It's all middle fingers and sex, and who's
ego can hold the most. We just hop in a broken van and
we head out to the coast.
Wide-eyed and wondering how we ever got here.
Now I'm praying for a revolution on the air.
Am I wasting all my time? Or am I proving them all wrong?
I wasting all my energy on these old songs? These people
aren't
even real. They need choreigraphers just to breathe.
These people
aren't even real, they were raised by wolves, they think
of us as sheep.
Wide-eyed, it's about time I got the hell out of here.
But still I'm praying for a revolution on the air.
Don't you care? There are people choking out here...it's
got to stop.
We all need fresh air. We all need fresh air. Don't you
care? There
are people being force fed bullshit out here. Out here we
all need
[chorus: Will.I.Am ][X2]

this has no meaning, it€™s a song
this isn€™t the first of many but it€™s plenty
i can€™t compete, i can€™t complete
i can€™t do what i am told, it€™s gets old
there€™s too much pressure to fit in
too much it€™s so over-barring, always staring
say goodbye to what you are
to what you know, it€™s all about to go
a life worth less than zero, 1, 2, 3
everyone wake up on 1, 2, 3
there€™s too much pressure to fit in
too much it€™s so over-barring, always staring
it€™s all a big elaborate hoax
the joke is so overrated, complicated
you got away from me
just this time but not the next time
there is no meaning to this song
In the raw, in the raw

Don't choose too fast
You can't judge a book by it's cover
Make sure that what you see is what you get
And read between the lines
Don't place too much faith
In someone else's reputation
Watch closely, they might be just a shadow
Of the person they're supposed to be
(In the raw)
Just can't fake it
Gonna see what you're made of

Everybody's got their own way
In the raw

In the raw
(In the raw)
Girl, you look at me
But only see what's on the surface
And I might just be what you expect of me
There's that possibility
Just strip away your thought
And only speak what's on your mind
'Cause whatever I tell you
You know it's from the heart
And that's the bottom line
(In the raw)
Just can't fake it
Gonna see what you're made of
(In the raw)
I can't change it
Everybody's got their own way
In the raw
In the raw

There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From what you really are inside
You never gain from tellin' lies
The truth wears no disguise
(In the raw)
That's the only way to find out
(In the raw)
Some try their luck at love for years
They waste their time and so many tears
To make sure love's on solid ground
You've got to break it down
(In the raw)
That's the only way to find out, oh, oh, ooh
(In the raw)
So let's break it down to the real thing

Gonna see what you're made of
(In the raw)
You can't change it
Saw it coming from afar
Always knew it would be hard
The telephone is our best friend
Transmissions do not ease the lonely
Circumstances mean so much
Been so long without your touch
Love ain't made to bend, to bend, bend
And the static is the worst of enemies
Lungs fill to take a final breath
Screaming skies above
I've had enough
I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,
Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain
It's killing me to hear you voice
Facing that we have no choice
And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire
It's easier to be naive
It's harder 'cause I'm losing sleep
And ignorance is our best friend
Insomnia's the death or dreaming
Sorry if my words seem cold
Trying to be rational
Are you on the other end, end, end?
'Cause the static is the worst of enemies
Lungs fill to take a final breath
Screaming skies above
I've had enough
I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,
Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain
It's killing me to hear you voice
Facing that we have no choice
And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire
And if this rain has no mercy
Rain has no mercy, rain has no mercy
Go, I'll go
And when the times become trying
Times become trying, times become trying
Explode, explode
Don't hang up before we take another step
My lungs fill to take a final breath, a breath
Screaming skies above
I've had enough
I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,
Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain
It's killing me to hear you voice
Facing that we have no choice
And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire
Screaming skies above
I've had enough
I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,
Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain
It's killing me to hear you voice
Facing that we have no choice
And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire
On the wire, On the wire, On the wire,
In the year when your bicycle broke,
You were crying in the yard,
But the world was a glorious game,
New adventures stole your heart.
It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.
In the year when the future was lost,
You were fighting in the class,
Headed west with your wits and snarl,
Left your parents in the past,
'78 was the year you explored,
Tore your clothes and shaved your head,
Joined a band with a broken down van,
Thought your life was really swell.
It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You only full for what you really want to.
Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want your tears away,
Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want those tears,
It has gone, it has gone,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.

I want to tell you about the shape that I'm in
I can feel the heat coming up from my skin
Turn up the lights, I can't believe my eyes
I think I know what she might want to do tonight
Fill me up, I just can't get enough, till I get it right, you got that right
My body's shakin' like a full blown vette
My knees are weak, and I begin to sweat
It must be love, cause I can't get enough 'til I get it right
You got that right
Chorus:
She comes in wearing nothing but some cowboy boots
Maybe a smile and that's all
If it's a crime, I'd gladly do the time
There ought to be a law about the way she looks, that's my baby - in the raw
Don't hold back, baby I can't wait
My head is racing like a runaway freight
We're gonna roll, just like dominos, did you get it right, yeah that's right
Shake it, you're steaming up the room
Heat up the rocket won't you shoot me to the moon
Start me up, and don't you let it up 'til we get it right, whoa that's right
chorus
(Solo)
[spoken:]
In the news: today that big traffic tie-up downtown was apparently caused by
a woman walking down Main street, clad only in cowboy boots and a big smile.
The arresting young lady was apprehended by police officers who said
she did not resist. Some of the lawmen on the scene were so shaken,
they insisted on riding with her in the backseat of the squad-car.
Now here outfit is accessorized by a lovely set of cuffs. Film at eleven.
chorus
That's my baby - in the raw (repeats out)...
I always say these things, these theories
I sound so wise, but see, these eyes are crying
It doesn't take too much to make yourself sound rational
But there are things that simple words cannot control
Whenever I run, I'm bound up and shackled
By a sovereign mind
Whenever I'm lost, it's my own intention
And I'm left behind
When I was a child, my future was nothing
But a game I played
But that time is here and things aren't pretend now
But I'm learning how
'Cause I've seen it end
And I've seen a friend go by
No monsters were here, but I know real fear
And what it is to cry
Reach out for love
Reach out for love
Can't you see I can't sleep and I'm calling
For love?
I always say these things, these theories
I sound so wise, but see, these eyes are crying
It doesn't take too much to make yourself sound rational
In the hour when the sun shines shines bright
On my head in the city where I am alone,
I never think of that once told story
When two flowers almost were one.
But what to do?
I still think in the morning of you.
When darkness hovers and city lights take over
I am blinded to the words "I am alone".
It's useless to cry for a star in the sky,
For the city lights tell me there's none.
But what to do?
I still cry in the morning for you.
When my head touches my pillow I am too weary
To dare dream that I am alone.
Now I lay myself down to sleep,
I pray the Lord his soul to keep is my song.
But what to do?
I still dream in the morning for you.
What to do?
Everyone has their love stories to talk about
so here is mine packaged real neatly and delivered
I just cant get my head out of the clouds
cause I抦 floating around I抦 just dreaming
I just cant keep my feet upon the ground
cause I抦 running around I抦 just screaming
What have you done to me you said that you抎 fulfill my dreams
What have you done to me
But I'll be all right any way
if you promise to return this broken heart to me
I'll be ok
And these dreams that turn to nightmares are tearing me apart
These dreams that turn to nightmares are tearing
Cause I抦 in the air I抦 in the air with no plans of coming down
But you tore my wings you tore my wings apart
I just can抰 pick my head up off the ground
I抦 just laying around going crazy
I just cant get my head out of the clouds
I抦 running around I抦 Just screaming
Don抰 stand don抰 sit so close to me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Said keep your distance
You said that you want me away from you
And I made a deal with myself that I'd do what you want me to
Given up on trying (given up on trying)
To make you change your mind (to make you change your mind)
To your request I do comply
You can run but you know you can't hide
Turn up that radio (your radio)
There's not a place where you won't hear I'm sorry anywhere
(2x)
Blocked my address
Now to get your attention's a dream come true
Take back each action
To retract each misspoken word to you
Given up on trying (given up on trying)
To make you change your mind (to make you change your mind)
To your request I do comply
You can run but you know you can't hide
Turn up that radio (your radio)
There's not a place where you won't hear I'm sorry anywhere
(2x)
I'm on the radio, whoa (2x)
Laid this down on paper but
The words don't seem so relevant
I hope the message gets across to you
Now that your ear is turned to me
Albeit somewhat forcefully
Choose for yourself what to believe
Just don't touch that dial my sweet
Seems lately I cry at the drop of a hat
And I want to lash out but you're not here to lash out
And I want a moment not to even consider the odds
And I want to place a kiss, full on the mouth of God
I welcome the pain of conflict for the joy of
resolution
Embrace the problem for the peace of solution
And claim the injustice for the thrill of revolution
(chorus)
It's in the air, it's as hot as Atlanta burning
Be careful. Beware.
It's a deep-rooted call, it's a deep-rooted yearning
I am a master of disguise, I am resilient
And the winged spirits talk to me
And their messages are brilliant
Cause I can creep right in and
I can sit right down
And I can slip right out before you know I've been
Around this block a time or two
And if you won't hold it against me, I won't hold it
against you.
(chorus)
The vultures are circling and they're waiting for me to
And I laugh my best laugh cause I know their last meal
will be humble pie
I'll be their dyke-like darling, be nocturnal release
'Til they find they want more
And when they're done with their feeding and I've
stopped my bleeding
I'll grab my bloody boot strap and pull up off the
What's goin on in there?
Do we have to come in and clean up after you?
What's goin on in there?
We'll give you 3 more minuets then let's move.
This don't feel right,
But how you make it all ok tonight and,
It's crazy how you and me,
Know exactly what the other sees.
One minuet you're on top,
Next thing you're down below me,
Oh your hands are getting so much closer,
No i ain't complainin girl.
What's goin on in there?
We'll come in we'll embarass you.
What's goin on in there?
Just tell me what you're doin.
Now i guess if i told ya'll that we were just talkin,
You wouldn't believe me for a second now would you.
She turned the lights out again,
I got to go, i'll talk to you when i'm done.
What's goin on in there?
I don't think we should leave you two alone no more.
What's goin on in there?
You're gonna burn the freakin house down.
Now my love it's just you and me,
We lay intwinded we share this moment.
Oh girl just kiss me,
Don't worry bout what tomorrow brings.
We'll stay in this room for a while,
And hope that no one else sees,
What we're doin in here,
And how you fit so perfectly.
What's goin on in there?
I've had enough of this shit.
What's goin on in there?
Unlock the door and get the hell out.

I'm feeling it, I'm feeling a change
In the air
To look the other way to get what you want
Throw out your troubles to find your song
Cause there's a change, a change in the air
In the air, in the air
Just one more minute here with you
All I give to have this come true
Can you feel it too
Can you feel this heart beating in time
Wishing it was your's but it's gotta be mine
Couldn't believe everything I feel
You walked in you saw me just there
Don't close that door, don't walk away
Don't shut your eyes, you can hear me say
I love you now more than everyday
It's ok
Give every bit to have you here
Give every moment to see your tear
Seems lately I cry at the drop of a hat
And I want to lash out but you’re not here for me to lash out at.
And I want a moment not to even consider the odds.
And I want to place a kiss, full on the mouth of God.
I welcome the pain of conflict for the joy of resolution
Embrace the problem for the peace of solution
And claim the injustice for the thrill of revolution.

Yes [echoes] skills [echoes]
To all MC's.. with skills [echoes]
Yes [echoes]
For all MC's.. you're on the air
Yes [echoes] with skills, to all MC's
Yes [echoes] you're on the air [echoes]
To all, MC's.. you're on the air [echoes]
[Verse One: Yusef Afloat]
Now sit back, relax, put on your head gear
You're waiting, waiting and waiting but stop debating
And release the highs, just let them fly
While I say whassup to grandma, in the sky
Let the bass consume the place
I'm chillin in the studio, listenin to Ace
About platinum hits, and how high to climb
And how many MC's really can't rhyme
But I get a dime for the wax I press
It's all a mindstate that leads to stress
Them evil spirits, but I can't hear it
Like my girl Giant told me said you got to clear it
So I release and find my peace
Through a beat or some shit, and dream about hits
I gotta keep my thing on straight
Get my head together and wait 'til I get my share
At least I'm on the air
You're on the air [echoes]
Yes [echoes] you're on the air [echoes]
Yes [echoes] you're on the air [echoes]
Yes [echoes]
Skills, what I'm saying is like, it stems from
(To all MC's) From MC's basically, from beginnin to end
(To all MC's) And straight out your mental side
(To all MC's) Straight through, everything pieces together, knahmsayin?
Put the mental thing together, everything equals out
Keep your head above water
[Verse Two: Nouka]
I got a cut for your crates, beats and rhymes
On black plates to pass around
With my nine to five, plus studio time
I got a radio slot tryin to get hot
Soonbe was the one that said that there was a flaw
When MC's blow up, and they get large
And forget, basin they styles on a hit
So I try to step around this twist
With acts like Green and my man Superb
Where rhymin is first and the fame is third
So I walk around town with the full cassette
Thinkin all the times of new ways to stay fresh
This is what I do daily
You might see the show and request me
Do an interview and speak about the West
And some whack MC, might try to test
Like 'Sef I got stress and sometimes I may
Smoke me a blunt with my man Kwame
Oh God, take the sun from the sky
it's burning me scorching me up
Oh God, Cant you hear my cry?.Water.A poor little cup.
It's laughing I hear the cursed sun
I see it swell and swell
It's fearous as one hundred hells,Oh God will it
ever have done,It's searing the flesh from my bones it's beating me with hamers red.
See it's the size of the sky
and the sky is a torrent of fire
drone in me as I lie.
Here on the wire
Stained here an now of night I dream
a night that will bring me peace
coolness in a stary gleam
the stillness of deaths release
Again..the guns over my head
Again...yellow red and red
and then it starts to dawn
again I have not gone
I hear but I can not see
someone else is caught like me
thundering now in my ear
he pulls the trigger of his fear
the man whom I heard is dead
a bullet hole in his head
under a stuping sky
a see thing of sulfurous fire
scorching me up as I lie
Verse 1- I can hear it everywhere its over here and now its over there I think its gonna be a special day hey hey hey ya!!!
Bridge- In The air (I feel it coming now) its coming quickly (its coming its coming its coming)
Chorus- I knew this day would come but I have too admit I thought not so soon I can’t believe its happened to me. Like I knew it would (like I knew like I knew-------) it is rushing through me and now what can I do but just ignore him
Verse 2- I knew it would come but not this fast (but not this fast) I planned on different ways but he is still at my window (still at my window) he is waiting for me to come down…. But that’s not a rode I want to see again
