All the girl could want was alittle attention
From a man who's strong and notto mention
Kiss and caressing her all night long
But all that boy wants is to hit and
run off
Heand his friends - they sit andthey laugh
Going around talking 'bout the girlsthey used in the past
You're gonna get what's coming
to you
For all the bad bad things you do
to your
Lady, treat her like a lady
U'll make a good girl crazy
If you don't treat her like a lady
She stopped going to church, she
don't wanna go to school
She left with anger when he took her
for a fool
Even though her friends tell her to just
keep cool
Didn't tell her from the start just what
he had planned
Right in her face with another woman
Now she's in jail for attacking her man
You're gonna get what's coming
to you
For allthe bad bad things you do
to your
Lady, treat her like a lady
U'll make a good girl crazyIf you don't treat her like a lady
Tell it to her straight, she can takethe truth
Don't lead her on and leaveher confused
Anyone would rather be alone than
be used
Don't sit and think you'll hurt her feelings
She only wants to know just what thedeal is
Next time beware of whose heartyou're breaking (or stealing)
I can't ever go back to the little cafe with the candle light
That was our cafe and to go there without you wouldn't seem right
Besides I don't want to touch that part of life that meant so much
The days the world belonged to us just us
And I'd telephone at three in the morning just to say hello
And all sleepy eyed you breathed and sighed I love you so
And sometimes we just talked for hours dreaming dreams and building towers
All the world was filled with flowers for us
And I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
[ ac.guitar ]
I can't ever go back to the cabin there on the mountain side
Where I built a fire and held you close while it snowed outside
And remember you let me sleep all day so we could love the night away
Oh it just find yesterday and us
I've tried making new friends walking new streets and finding new thrills
But nothing new replaces you and it never will
I'll just live my life in memory grateful you once loved me
Thankful that there used to be an us
Please don't take you out of us
You took the happy out of happiness you took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us
You took the tender out of tenderness you took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us
Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory I still survive
Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us
Could you tell me who released our animal instinct?
Got the white man sittin' there tickled pink.
Laughin' at us on the avenue
Bustin' caps at each other after havin' brew
We can't enjoy ourselves
Too busy jealous... Of each other's wealth
Commin' up is just in me
But the Black community is full of envy
Too much back-stabbin'
While I look up the street I see all the japs grabbin'
Every vacant lot in my neighborhood
Build a store, and sell their goods
To the county of sips (?)
You know us po niggas: nappy hair and big lips?
Four or five babies on your crotch
And you expect Uncle Sam to help us out?
We ain't nothin' but porchmonkeys
To the average bigot, redneck honky
You say comin' up is a must
But before we can come up, take a look at US
And all y'all dope-dealers...
Your as bad as the po-lice- cause ya kill us
You got rich when you started slangin' dope
But you ain't built us a supermarket
So when can spend our money with the blacks
Too busy buyin' gold an' Caddilacs
That's what ya doin' with the money that ya raisin'
Exploitin' us like the Caucasians did
For 400 years - I got 400 tears- for 400 peers
Died last year from gang-related crimes
That's why I got gang-related rhymes
But when I do a show ta kick some facts
Us Blacks don't know how ta act
Sometimes I believe the hype, man
We're messin' up ourselves and blame the white man
But don't point the finger you jiggaboo
Take a look at yourself ya dumb nigga you
Pretty soon hip-hop won't be so nice
No Ice Cube, just Vannilla Ice
And yall sit and scream and cus
But there's no one ta blame- but US
US ... will always sing the blues
'Cause all we care about is hairstyles and tennis shoes
But if ya step on mine ya pushed a button
"Cause I'll beat you down like it ain't nothin'
Just like a beast
But I'm the first nigga ta holler out {PEACE, BLACK MAN}
I beat my wife and children to a pulp
When I get drunk and smoke dope
Got a bad heart condition
Still eat hog-mogs an' chitlin's
Bet my money on the dice and the horses
Jobless, so I'm a hope for the armed forces
Go to church but they tease us
Wit' a picture of a blue-eyed Jesus
They used to call me Negro
After all this time I'm still bustin up the chiffarobe
No respect and didn't know it
And I'm havin' more babies than I really can afford
In jail 'cause I can't pay the mother
Held back in life because of my color
Now this is just a little summary
Of US, but yall think it's dumb of me
To put a mirror to ya face, but trust
(feat. Suzie McNeil)
The world is always changing, you can see it every day
But in a tragic situation you just can't hide yourself away
So try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
You're shining in the darkness when you open up your heart
Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free, it comes down to us
Hungry babies on television, can you feel the shame?
We've got to keep on giving to one another, 'cause it's all gonna happen again
Why don't you try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
Just think about what binds us and find a new place to start
Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free, it comes down to us
Your love is all we need to bring us together
We're not indestructable, we're some kind of miracle
Happens every day
I can never go back to the little cafe with the candle light
That was our cafe and to go there without you just wouldn't seem right
Besides I don't want to touch that part of life that meant so much
The days the world belonged to us just us
And I'd telephone at three in the morning just to say hello
And all sleepy eyed you breathed and sighed I love you so
And sometimes we just talked for hours dreaming dreams and building towers
All the world was filled with flowers for us
And I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
I can never go back to the cabin there on the mountain side
Where I built a fire and held you close while it snowed outside
And remember you let me sleep all day so we could love the night away
Oh it just found yesterday and us
I've tried making new friends walking new streets finding new thrills
But nothing new replaces you and it never will
I'll just live my life in memory grateful that you once loved me
Thankful that there used to be and us
And I'm gonna miss you for a long long time

Silence is all we have
Between us
To see us
Through the night
Make believe, just pretend
We'll always
And always
Have love
And when the time
Has come for us
To speak our peace
Will there be nothin' left for us
But memories
Or will we make
The same mistakes
We made before
But just go on pretendin' that there's
Nothin' more
And make believe, just pretend
We'll always
And always
Have love
some say it's hard to get it all
but what I dreamed is what I am
I turned my eyes to see it all
to give you what you're looking for
come the force come the wind come the sun
into our ring
make me shine make me rain make clear water with blood
take me high burn me up and tear it all down
push me out throw in the ocean of love
make me one make me I
should I keep you in my wheel should I take you in my arms
if you want what I want
if you need what I am
come on let's be as one
if you want what I want
if you need what I am
come on take me home
step on it stay above I did spoil your life with light
to let you see what can be if our hearts ever collide
won't you give me a try won't you give me another chance
won't you give me a try won't you give me another chance
you're here when I'm there
I see you everywhere
you're cool you're special
you're calm and beautiful
you're a nine you're mine
and we got along at night
if you want what I want
if you need what I am
come on let's be as one
if you want what I want
if you need what I am
come on take me home
won't you give me a try won't you give me another chance
They made a statue of us
And they put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs of fun, have fun
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
'Cause they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
I know we often feel the rub of love that we don't always fit quite hand in glove but we live inside of a mystery and my heart often fails to contain and I know that words are not enough when I think of all the endless love that you give to me in my time of need boy, it's high time these words were said [will sell] ask for my hand you know I'll give it and if you're cold I give you warmth and I don't care if it's unfair 'cause I would sacrifice myself now that I know the only thing that matters us us us us it's hard to say what road we're travelling down sometimes it leads us to some awful towns but we somehow keep, both our hands and feet on the floorboard and the steering wheel ask for my hand, you know I'll give it and if you're cold I give you warmth and I don't care if it's unfair 'cause I would sacrifice myself now that I know the only thing that matters us us us us there was a time I lost my eyes there was a day I wasted too much of your golden light ask for my hand you know I gave it I give you warmth and I don't care if it's unfair 'cause I would sacrifice myself now that I know the only thing that matters you're the only that matters you're the only that matters us us us us us us
["lala, la, la, la, la" repeated in the background throughout the song]
[Intro: Brother Ali - talking]
Yeah, yeah, I love it
I love it, yes I do
Uh, let me get one more, check this out right here
[Verse: Brother Ali]
Started rhymin just to be somebody
To make people notice me at the party
And not be just the new kid that's Albino
Make 'em say "yeah I know but have you heard him rhyme though? "
Now take that same party around the globe
And my story connected with a lot of folks
I hope so 'cause that's the only thing that I know
I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed
And I go with the feeling from the start
Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart
And to me all y'all look exactly the same
Fear, faith, compassion and pain
And try as we may to mask, it remains
Such as your religion or your past or your race
The same color blood just pass through our veins
And tears taste the same when they splash on your face
The World's gettin too small to stand in one place
It's like we're roommates just sharin a space
Can't separate and still carry the weight
Gotta heal, get away from the fear and the hate
Gotta shake free from them chains
You see what remains, just a human being end of the day
Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane
Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm sayin
Uh, I started rhymin just to be somebody
I found out that I already was
'Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free
There's no me and no you, it's just us
"Street Preacher" what a fan once called me
I've been called worse and tried to live up
Hope you don't mind a few more stories
Lost some time to rearrange From the base to the top And it gets you exactly nowhere... itÂ's time...
Short lastinÂ', moving aside... your holdinÂ' back the will to shove
The us you want is still on my mind... it never lost its weight in time... to find this letdown wired inside
I feel forcibly admired... donÂ't know where to send my useless cup And it gets you exactly nowhere...
ItÂ's time for settlement...
One hundred ninety... worn out!
They cannot be again...
Cannot repeat...
She was only her...
He was only him...
Never again!
There is a dangerous humanity...
Which can kill me, or the ones I love
We are the murderer
We are the undertaker
We are the mourner
The earth is dangerous...
Can I trust in you?
Can you trust in me?
Can I trust in me?
Stone gods
[Young Noble]
It's only us, me, Kastro, EDI and Napoleon
It's on again, young niggas born again
I wish somebody coulda told me then
That we was gon' grow up to be some lonely men
Now I found out I really don't got friends
Cause nobody come around when I not spend
I walk around this fuckin planet feelin boxed in
Smokin stoge after stoge like it's oxygen
When there was 10 of us we all ate from one dub
Let's turn the dirt to glory for Pac up above
Yak one love, I know you gotta be free
Havin conversations with you when there's nobody but me
I guess whatever don't kill me make me stronger
But I don't know if I can take it any longer
But I got to, cause family live they dreams through us
It's like 5 million lost souls that cling to us
But I know one thing, it ain't shit without y'all
Thug Life for life, Young Noble Outlaw
It ain't shit without y'all
Thug Life for life, Young Noble Outlaw
[CHORUS: Noble]
The only thing that we got left is us
If you don't have nothin else, son, you got my trust
Loyalty come first, I put my life in your hands
I'ma die as a man and die together is the plan
Keep the team stong, make this cream real long
Cash last long enough for our grandkids to eat on
We Outlawz, and if it's on then it's on
Watch my back, I watch yours and we make it through the strorm
Thug on
[EDI]
Early on I knew life wasn't shit
Just made 2, drugs and love made my daddy split
Mama's now forced to turn a boy into a man
Impossible task, still she doin all she can
And I'm growin quickly, slowly started seein things
All the wrong in this world, taught me not to believe in things
Not even man, cause we all change daily
Best friends be tryin to bring each other death quickly
Only the strong survive
As long as I'm alive I ride
Hooked up with some niggas that I knew had my side
O-u-t-l-a-w-z
Me for you, you for me eternally
Makaveli-trained riders
Cause the Don may be gone but he remains deep inside us
It comes out every time niggas try us
Y'all my family until the Lord'll have me I make this promise
[CHORUS: Young Noble]
[Napoleon]
I been wakin up, stressin lately
Sheets wet from the sweat and my hands shaky
I got a kid on the way, I'm kinda nervous
I did some dirt in my life, hope it don't curse it
And all I got left is my Outlaw niggas
My cousins and my brothers and some Jersey drug dealers
I keep my faith in the Lord and stay strugglin
He keep on pushin me forward to stay hustlin
And when Pac died nobody never knew
Or gave a fuck on what the Outlawz was goin through
We kept your heads to the sky and our guns too
We had to ask straight for a dollar to split a cold brew
And through the process our family was still dyin
I got a grip of this shit, there's no complyin
And I'ma be the solid rock that I am, nigga
And I'ma give it all I got to raise my kid, nigga
I got the blood of Malcolm X in me
I got the dirt from the cemetary runnin in me
One way up and that's how we goin, nigga
Now put guns up, the world ain't friendly, nigga
And just wait till you get to hold reality
And just wait, I bet you try to up your salary
And these crackers be doin too much
Let's start the revolution so we can rise up
Come on
[CHORUS]
Thug on
Thug on
Thug on
Outlawz till I die, gee
There's a place where I feel you
And I know you mean more to me
Still waiting
Still holding time
There's a place where I feel you
And I know I mean more to you
Still waiting
Late last night I was looking through pictures
Flooded with memories I lie on the floor
And spread them around me like friends at a party
There faces remind me of all that I've known
Still I can't forget all the hushed who and why's.
All the fiction and lies and the tears and the laughs
Take a walk through the past you and I hand in hand
As we look at this thing called us
Late last night I was pacing the hallway
Reading the letters you'd signed x and o
I turned out the lights and imagined you with me
I tried my hardest to cry but it just wouldn't come
Still I can't forget all the hushed who and why's
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs
Take a walk through the past
You and I hand in hand
As we look at this thing called us
All the hushed who and why's
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs
Take a walk through the past, you and I hand in hand
Me and my friends, sittin' on the porch
Thinking about dinner, and we got some smokes
Yeah we like to pass 'em around
Me and my friends we got a car
Our speakers are busted
But we go real far
Yeah and we still turn it up loud
And we don't care about the shape were in
Ain't got no time
Time to sleep
We ain't got no money
For us to keep
But we got us
We got us
We got us
Me and my friends, were more like brothers
We like to tease, and wrestle each other
Yeah, till we all fall down
Yeah, we don't give a damn about the shape were in
Ain't got no time
Time to sleep
We ain't got no money
For us to keep
But we got us
We got us
We got us
We got us
We got us
We got us
Need no one else
Me and my friends, were more like brothers
We like to tease, and wrestle each other
Me and my friends, sittin' on the porch
On my own I'm weak
On my own I need
A little hang now and then
Just to tunnel me through
Another mountain
On my own I stumble
On my own I crumble
Beneath the weight of worries
Beneath the skies of trouble
Raining over me
But then you come like the morning
Turning my world with a touch
Chorus
Can't nothing come against us
As long as we're together
There's no table we can't turn
There's no problem we can't weather
As a matter of fact
And a matter of trust
We have nothing to fear
As long, as long, as long as we have us
On my own I struggle
On my own I'm not able
Without someone like you
Just to carry me through
Another valley
On my own I'm nothing
On my own I'm just wandering
Without a purpose or goal
Down a lonely road
That's never ending
Until your faith in me
Gave me a reason to believe
Chorus
We can make it
We can make it through anything
If we don't let change break us apart, apart, apart
I'll be that one and only friend
That you can sure depend upon
the song of the clouds is coming
the twilight's doors is opening
be hailed the hard
who sang before
our blood runs strongest
our souls dance in the cosmos
we, the sons of nature
willacclaim the son of the clouds
the herald of the island in near
lest's open our hearts-no fear
the wonder world is leaving
to where will not come back again
so let's raise our heads
the gate is closing now
let's remenber where we came from
from the venter of the of the great mother
let's kiss our earth
precious divinal earth
let's sing with thee swallows us...
[Verse 1]
I want that navigator
She got that Adam's apple and she asked about that passion
And we passed her with that nectar
And passed her wacker friend
Piece to the keys to put that car in
If they the keys that act up in
It's beasts in the streets in leather skin
She put a decent effort in but she's at the precinct haemmoraghing
Bring it to these bitches like Alpo
Bitches getting snitches if she under my sExplaincalpel
Bitches getting bitches when I tell 'em who the sight's on
Have these girls runnin' like roaches with the lights on
They been on that goofy shit
We been on that Gucci shit
Apple Cherry Gucci clique
Mmm Mmm Yeah
Ya'll be swearin' you the shit
But ya'll be sharin' shoes and shit
Cool it bitch
Yeah, we be gettin' paper
[Hook]
Cause I can't entertain you
I got nothing to say to ya (no no)
I don't even blame you
If I was you I'd hate too
You can't even fuck with us
Can't even fuck with us (Worldwide)
You can't even fuck with us
Can't even fuck with us
[Verse 2]
These bitches saying they poppin' shit
And they hatin' cause we are
We the crème de la crème
All them other bitches are the H to the I-Ms
These niggas like her
They try to get in her cypher
But he can't
Can't even roll text with us
These niggas can't even stand next to us
Trust, that I seen these bros be
Tryna make ends meet, Pantene Pro-V
Try to send beats to her
And he's hoping
He can get a 16, he can get me open
But, um, I ain't fuckin' with these hipster niggas
These niggas really like sista niggas
You know, they sweeter than them spritzer niggas
I know niggas probably kissed a nigga
I know niggas probably dicked a nigga
Anyway, it's the B-A-N-K-S
To them niggas with V-I-S-A
C-A-S-H-E-U-R-Os
Put a couple commas in them Z-E-R-Os
Lookin' for the dollars for the C-O-I-Ns
You need to get enough for both me and my friends
Yeah, we're more dimes than two bucks
These niggas be up in the hood like Ku Klux
Puffing on that loose-again
Puffing on that 2 for 10
All these niggas
Oodling, oodling
Yeah, yeah
Ya'll niggas cool and shit
But all my bitches too legit

Are we meant to be friends?
Or something more than just odds and ends
Pardon me to you I ask
Why did you come across my path?
Am I just a foolish guy?
Should I all of these feelings hide
I hope I’m not the only one
That has noticed this midnight sun
Have you
Thought about us
Can you feel this sensation
Did love knock on your door
Is it whispering the word
Us, one little word
Holding our lives between it
If you have any doubts
The answer is us
Does my name tickle your heart
What do you feel when we are apart
Should I stop
And turn around
Before this feeling will
bring me down
Have you
Thought about us
Can you feel this sensation
Did love knock on your door
Is it whispering the word
Us, one little word
Holding our lives between it
If you have any doubts
The answer is us
