Ammonia and a razor blade
Things were just okay until she
fell in love with cocaine
I will always love her

My black beauty
She's open all the time
She's my beauty
Los Angeles Police
My black beauty

Baby lives off of Hollywood vine
Her head got her off her feet
She's been strung out since the age of nine
Her head got her off the street
She's a HIV VIP, she's a
I will always love her
Yes I will
I will always love her
Cause she's my beauty
Call her Miss Divine
My black beauty
On Hollywood an' crime
She's my beauty
The L.A.P.D.
My black beauty
Had it out for me
Cause she's my beauty
Call her Miss Divine
My black beauty
We made the headlines
Cause she's my beauty
Now she's made it big
My black beauty
Lizzy flipped her lid
She got me thrown in jail
My black beauty
She's still up for sale
Her head got her off her feet
Her head got her off 'da street
Her head got her off her feet
Her head got her off 'da street
Her head got her off her feet
Her head got her off 'da street
Oh when I look around me
This old world seems so troubled to me
* Does no one see
The beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now (sometimes)
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah
(You know) It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart, give a little love
love, love, love, love
(*Repeat)
**It troubles my mind
These troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
(**Repeat and fade)
[Intro: N.O.R.E. (Raekwon)]
(Yeah) Yeah, Shallah Raekwon
It's the God Father Pt. 2, Self esteem
(Lex Diamond) Plus degree, (Uh huh)
(Raekwon) Add on to my attribute
(Star H.M.G., Get money baby, Let's Go)
[N.O.R.E.:]
Ayo, Peace Lord, Peace to the God, You know today's math
I know today's lab, Bag it in a grey bag
Straight coke is optional, Jungle gym obstacle
You get locked, You get dead, Or end up in the hospital
Dapper Dan, Gucci, Valore shit, And more shit
Both hands is numb as fuck, Bag'n all the numbers up
Queen's niggas Mosalium, Jewy from the Coliseum
Fat Cat, Pappy Mason, Niggas wanna be em
See rap was secondary, Money was necessary
Until I got incarcerated, Type scary
Until I see my life just flash, Type scary
Ninety-six came home, Ninety-seven album
Made niggas proud to be from New York housing
Born alone die alone, I ain't got a pot to piss in
Became friends with baking soda, Arm & Hammer craziness
Started learning cooking up, Cooking up, Cooking up
Nose feeling like it's high, Door open windows up
Out of state money was coming great, We sold weight
Another scramble, Commonwealth Law gamble
We out touring, Leave the hood now the hood boring
Niggas still doubting my greatness, My great shift
Learn ambidextrous ways and trade spaces
Nike's no Asic's, No Botox, No face lifts
Rich niggas, Poor niggas, Ya'll should switch places
Learn how it feels to be living broke with no hope
Learn how it feels to be living rich with mad shit
[Raekwon:]
Yo, The software license is great, Better six
Flip the new five or roll up, Then live through the tape
Straight from the dungeons of Hell, A lot of Vikings
Some couldn't sell, That's when I took it for self
I'm only just nineteen rolling with eight, Individuals
Most of us rob, Pulling guns, This is my gate
Four shottys, Two lasers a plate, Chewing
Start a movement, Keep doing what your doing
Niggas are straight, We like Shar Pei in prestigious face
Love diamond rings and apes, Big money, Coffees and tapes
Play'n, You get sprayed in the lake
Hog tied and scraped, Chop fingers off you and skate
That's the breaks, Wipe body S's, Escovitch fish
With a Spanish blessing?, The more I make
Live through the babies, Busting my gun for sure
This is Paidees, Somebody gotta die today B
Rosй pouring, The hardwood floor, Incents
The crisp three-eighties, Gallons of French shit
Pour more my niggas, Eat up, This is like peanuts
Catch us in cells somebody beat up
With only one class, A piece of hash, Tiny bit of reefer
Fresh sneakers, Stressing for ass
Write mad letters in slabs, Niggas'll be home shortly
Keep cool, The niggas get bagged
We live a poor life, Rich in the heart, Kitchens is dark
Cooking white, Polices, Bitches, And narqs
Foul play yo, Big guns and cigar
The message repent them sins, Quick fast then mention Allah
[Joell Ortiz:]
No friendships when my pen twist, They lose interest in your mention
My entrance was smooth but it can shift to anger
Bag ya, I'll rearrange ya, Stranger, Danger
I embrace well, Joel don't take L's
I take pain pills for them migraines
This wild game put me in a whole different mind frame
Define lame, Okay, It's rat, That's the proper answer
Besides a couple cats it's just a whole lot of dancers
Well I'm a be the cancer see this swagger shit is dumb
What good is looking fly if you rapping like a bum
I'm immaculate it's fun, What you chat'n from your gums
Is bullshit, But that's okay the matador has come
I navigate a track and make you armatures a crumb
I'm magic with the tongue, Abra Cadabra and you done
I don't know what kind of comic book you characters is from
I know a place
Where the visitor always stays
Beauty runs 'em down
When they chance to cross that way
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the (strain)
Out on that plain
It's anybody's fault
Open up your heart
In pours the salt
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the strain
Open up your mind,
In pours the trash
Open up your mouth
And the lightning starts to flash
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I feel the strain
Through the night, hear the strain
The need to dream
Makes it easy to provide
A package to fulfill life
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Plastic smiles
Just the perfect fantasy
Cling on to illusions of industry dream
Your body, your beauty will fade
Fit the pieces, adjust the smiles
You will try, try, try, try
To fit in, to fit in for the perfect li(f)e
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
Give me beauty or give me death
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Give me a body forever young
Give me a fulfillment of fitness
Give me the answers to my search
Give me beauty or give me death
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
So you think life should be gay
But You're wasting your times away
Now you see me standing here and I say I'm down
So you think it would be easy to play
Have a little warm-up hear me today
Drop your sorrow down into a deep frying pan.
Fry'em down.
Refrain:
Put away your make-up
Then you'll see we fake it all up.
I know all your stories
Never did they bore me more
Beauty of a million years may die
So I think that all my thinking's enough
Thanksgiving Yeah giving away presents
Presents freedom
And in a way I feel great 'cause I give it
Away but I'm still down.
Refrain
Turning round your headsharks is making me sick
And I'm puking while I'm wandering around
In the feelds filled up and happy for relief
I'm turning and falling to the ground to the leafs
That smell I love is humid in the air and I'm feeling
The decay with a bitch in my chair with a whore in
My head with my lady in my heart I start disintegrating
Unseen far beyond the reach of my hands
slightly noticed on the border of my thoughts
but I can see you with the eyes of my imagination
I know the taste and smell of your body
smell of your body
pleasure of your body
I'm listening to the sound of your call
I'm standing naked in front of the perfect thought
I'm looking for you with all my heart
the sensible journey into the pleasure of your body
your smell unleashes my senses
your taste makes my heart wild
your passion embraces
your look gives me splendour
I'm dying once more that night
Sorry, didn't notice you there
But then again you didn't notice me
So we'll remain passers by
Until the next time we speak
I hope that I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
It didn't take much time to think about
But I didn't want to move too fast
Cuz I knew that when I saw you again
That I wouldn't wanna let you pass
Cuz my eyes have seen the glory
In the coming of your smile
So I swear if you ever come 'round again
Please stay for a while
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear that we'll never be apart
You are so beautiful
When I'm down and out
I never seem to get tired
Tired of your love
Cuz you are wonderful
You're wonderful
I'm just dying to make you see
Anything you want inside your heart
You can find right here inside of me
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
The first time that I saw you
There was sunshine in your eyes
All the people stared in wonder
You sent shivers down my spine
With your skin so soft and tender
And your hair just like the sea
I lost control of all my feelings
And these words came out of me
Beauty came to town today, yeah
The last time that I saw you
Your lips curved in a smile
Made the day seem more inviting
Made my life seem more worthwhile
Then beauty shot it's arrow
And it pierced right through my heart
On it's tip there was a message
Yes, I will read it from the start
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Beauty came to town today
Words cannot explain it's so worthwhile
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Beauty came to town today
Words cannot explain it's so worthwhile
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
time of decadence and time of despair, spaces
between us and voids filling her, turning into piles of
hatred and fear, she settled the score and now she is
here, facing Him: “take those pictures down, fill the
walls behind with living colors, drown them in light.
for i’m ready now, my heart’s broken now, my
shoulders are weary, my mind‘s numb!” hasting
towards her -, straight love opens hearts, people
called into life, fellowship in light; moving folks of
night, is what He yearns to do. with those cold walls
torn into pieces instead of painting them nice and
warm; He just loves to see you can handle liberty and
she understands love is really free: “got my fever down,
feet back on the ground, blind eyes open to see. this
grace’s larger than our life can be, standing tall on my
knees.” free – let’s shout to the world, this liberty is
life’s gift to the cold! free - we shout to the world:
“these bleeding hands are for you!
All your beauty is hard to explain
Dancing shadows and light on your face
Every kiss in the world wouldn't make you feel better
What a pity to paint in your lines
Nothing's in me that's worth one more rhyme
Could it be that were both just slaves to the weather?
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Maybe Martha was right when she said
Beauty colors the face of the dead
It made me wish we were back in our beds sleeping soundly
Our cheeks blushing red
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
I'll go where you are
'Cause every tear your silly eye bleeds
Well never fear, you never may see worse than this
I want to find a beautiful place
But maybe I forgot about today now, here
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
I'll go where you are
“Beauty”
[Vs 1]:
Could you be… exactly what I need?
Someone who’s spiritual & holy
Compatible with me.
You see I --- never felt real love before
That’s Deeper than the ocean shore
There’s so much beauty in disguise
Now I’ve realized
I need to find my…
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
(Repeat)
[Vs 2]:
I’ve been praying for sunshine, I’ve seen a lot of rain
The only prescription is Love, to take away the pain
Why do I keep knocking on the door?
I’m searching for you more and more
There’so much beauty in disguise
And all this time, you’ve been right by my side
You’ve been by my side, all this time
Oohhh woaahh
I finally found my…
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
(Repeat)
[Bridge]:
What I found here is complete
I found enough in your love
The closest thing to me …
Next to God above
(Repeat)
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
Could it be Your arm is long
Long enough to reach even, even me
Could it be Your well is deep
Deep enough for me to save me, maybe
Beauty draws me
Beauty draws me
If I don't believe then why do I seek for
As if You were missing
And for the love and beauty that's beneath
what I can see
Sometimes the face of a girl
The dreams I've seen and the songs that
yearn
Tell me that mystery and majesty are
drawing me
Sometimes when I get real
The greatest presence I can feel
It's like a fire inside that burns me deep
Someday never comes
Someday
Someday never comes for me
Beauty unbounded lies in your mind
It shines in your face and speaks through your eyes
Sour still the memories of past words and fears
Clouds thich the joy of happier years
Sorrow unmeasured runs through your frame
Pulling you down and taking your strength
Sorrow unmeasured runs through your frame
Pulling you down and taking your strength
Stars in your eyes and dreams in your heart
Are almost in reach yet a little too far
Lines tally themselves at my eyes
A gift of time and years of laughter
My age is my virtue
My lips a little crooked when they slide in a smile
Give me kisses to remember
Perfect in my imperfection
Don’t change me, no
Don’t save me,
I’m just fine
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
A few too many freckles at the tip of my nose
I’m not the perfect zero
But my curves are my virtue
I’ve got no secrets, I’ll bare my soul
Nothing to hide when a heart is open, oh
I am more than my reflection
We’re all searching for ourselves
Standing before our own eyes
Begging to be noticed
Snowflakes aren’t formed in a mold
Flowers don’t choose their shades
And butterflies don’t paint their wings
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
You told me
I should be younger, I should be thinner
Brighter, lighter, taller, softer, smaller
Hello world, here I am today
I didn't feel like putting in makeup, is that okay?
And you know what else
I didn't do my hair and I didn't take the time gto figure out
What to wear
Cause I know who I am, underneath
And I'm not afraid to show you, what's inside of me
(chorus)
Beauty is in you
You don't have to make it, you don't have to fake it
Beauty is in you
So just embrace it, you don't have to chase it
Hello world, yeah it's me again
I'm tired of fighting and always trying to fit in
Cause you're way too loud
You're always in my ear
Telling me I'm not okay but I just don't care
Cause I like who I am, underneath
And there is so much more to me, than what you see
(chorus)
You're more than your size
You're more than your smile
You're more than the things that you try to hide
You're more than your scars
You're more than your fears
You're beautiful, beautiful
And it won't disappear
All your beauty is hard to explain, dancing shadows and light on your face
Every kiss in the world wouldn't make you feel better
What a pity to paint in your lines
Nothing's in me that's worth one more rhyme
Could it be that we're both just slaves to the weather
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are, oh oh
Maybe Martha was right when she said
Beauty colors the face of the dead
It made me wish we were back in our beds sleeping soundly
Our cheeks blushing red
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
I'll go where you are
'Cause every tear your silly eye bleeds
Well, never fear, you never may see worse than this
I want to find a beautiful place
But maybe I forgot about today, now, here
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
in the morning light you lay by my side
in the evening it gets so your love begins to shine
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
theres a love that never comes back down
it feels like something is gonna happen now
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
love it calls your name no matter how you try
and I can't recall a time when I didn't love you
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
love, love, love
love is what you keep
So you've come to this bridge
In an unfamiliar land
You know it's a bridge you are going to walk on
And the only thing you know is
Everything you know
Will do you no good from here on
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you out there
So pick up your bags
Look around at your friends
And you know none of them
Would ever have enough strength
To cross the bridge and lose control
I never felt this bold
Never felt this good
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you
Stay true to your nomad skies
Keep your eyes out for coyote
A thousand secrets are lost
In the archival dust
So lay your ears upon the tracks
One day you will come back
With wrinkled hands and grey hair
And there you will stand on the spot
And you'll marvel how the place is still the same
Though you are somebody else now
Fly on butterfly
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
Ooh, yeah
Yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep em
You can have the prettiest skin, prettiest eyes
Prettiest smile with the thickest thighs
And a sex apply but that don't mean a thing to me
'Cuz without honesty or loyalty
You can only be a common enemy
That's why beauty can get 'em
But sure can't keep 'em
(Beauty can get 'em but it sure can't keep 'em)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
It's a plus but it don't mean nothin' though
Without a good heart what good are you to me?
Only impressed by the things you see
SUVs with TVs, expensive clothes and accesories
If it looks good to you, don't mean that it's good for you
All you need is real love, nowadays it's hard to find
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(See my mama told me the came exact words)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
Ooh, will you, will you stay by me, girl
If I lost all my money?
Will you be there even when things go down?
Ooh, yea, yea, yea
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
If I need somebody [unverified] I'll just open up a magazine
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
What's the use of lookin' at ya
When you can't do nuttin' for me?
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(Sure can't keep 'em)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(Sure can't keep)
(Yea, woah)
You can be the most finest thing on the outside
But the ugliest in the inside
Feel me [unverified] aight
(Beauty)
See to you
Beauty is a harlot
She will dance with any bastard
She's undiscerning in her choice of partners
I could have her of course, if I wished
But I object to her promiscuousness
Beauty just doesn't suit me
For...
Beauty is a harlot
An easy lane for lazy artists
I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm
It is the easiest trick in the book
Music's the worm and beauty's the hook
And I'm sure you would swallow her whole
But I'm not here to satisfy souls
For...
Beauty is a siren
Trying to draw me from my chosen mission
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
On principle, I refuse to be party to her abuse
It is not my job to squat in the gutter
Sharing the teat with you beauty-drunk suckers
You paid to see satire and rage
I swear I won't let beauty set foot on this stage
For...
Beauty is a harlot
A spotlight-hogging, superficial starlet
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you
Tear-streaked when the lights come on
You look around to find her gone
And despite your size, you've not a clue
That as you fell for her, she stole from you
For...
Beauty is harlot
She will lie with any two-bit artist
And for all those other bloody bastards
She seems to come so easily
But she comes so hard
Verse 1:
Calm..
Like an ocean,
Black..
Is my notion.
Bring me to life
with a stab
from that knife,
and you see what?
I bet your life
you are a fucking slut!
Chorus:
Darkness..
Pretty little girl,
So called beauty,
Makes me wanna hurl!
Here are my words,
Cold as a snowman,
Wandering here,
Just like a nomad!
Verse 2:
I held you close,
just like your fucking father,
you lied to me, bitch,
Why do I even bother?
I take my girls,
Just like I take my life:
(No music, woman says this:)
"Screw me like a man,
And slice me with a knife!"
(Chorus x 2)
repeat verse 1
repeat chorus
repeat verse 2
Fade with chorus
