Here we go, here we go now
I saw a girl today, could tell from what she say
She was a liar, she walks a wire
I tried to make here see that this was not the way
Of getting higher and then she turned away
So I say hear me now
Just understand, don't get me wrong
You got to live your life, live it right
Or you'll go back to the end of the line
Higher, step it up, higher, just do it right and go
Higher, keep it up, higher, just pick it up and you go
Higher, move along, higher, get off the ground
Higher, lift it up, higher
There is a man I know
And everyplace he'd go, he'd take your money
Think it was funny
He'd like to get his way, he never like to pay
The law would chase him but he just run away
So I say hear me now
Just understand, don't get me wrong
You got to live your life, live it right
Or you'll go back to the end of the line
Higher, step it up, higher, just do it right and go
Higher, keep it up, higher, just pick it up and you go
Higher, move along, higher, get of the ground
Higher, lift it up, higher, here we go, here we go now
You got to live your life
And, and, and I say
You got to live your life, higher
I gotta friend who lives on all the love he gives
When he retires, he's going higher
One thing I know is true that everything you do
Will come back to you, don't let it fool you
And I say hear me now
Just understand, don't get me wrong
You got to live your life and live it right
Or you'll go back to the end of the line, line
Higher, step it up, higher, just do it right and go
Higher, keep it up, higher, just pick it up and you go
Higher, move along, higher, get of the ground
Higher, lift it up, higher, here we go, here we go now
Higher, step it up, higher, just do it right and go
Higher, keep it up, higher, just pick it up and you go
Higher, move along, higher, get of the ground
Higher, lift it up, higher
Higher, step it up, higher, just do it right and go
Higher, keep it up, higher, just pick it up and you go
Higher, higher, higher, higher, that's what I say

(continue till end)
Yo, I wanna get high
I wanna get high
Walking through campus with my backpack
Bailin' to orientation
So I can change the nation
See many faces but none of 'em mirror me
Show my ID to the punk ass security
Step on the quad lookin' for the track squad
Walked by a bitch who think she's God
Passing me a flyer talkin' 'bout the Messiah
She wanna take me higher
Keep your rhetoric in the heavens
Look and see a bro' with a fro like Michael Evans
Done spent 6 years in the college
Always telling me to question the knowledge
Sittin' in the black hole with the black stroll
And not even one cave bitch in our click
Sayin', "Fuck Professor Fitz
I come from the land of the Bloods and the Crips
(What's up nigga?)
Don't like scholarships because they hurt me"
"Nothin' but a slave to the university
That's why ya see me on the track field run by ya
Caught by a liar who wanna take me higher"
Shit, he wanna take me higher
Wait until they get a load of me, shit shit
I wanna get high so high
Chocolate Thai
I wanna take flight ya Goddamn right
It's a party every fucking night
Been there for about 6 weeks
Walked by the freaks look, black Greeks
How the fuck ya figure
I dig ya me bein' from niggafied nigga
White boy in the room with me
Who never saw Bet
What the fuck, he's about to erupt and turn red
Start hangin' with the muthafuckin' skinheads
'Cause he can't deal with the overkill
College ain't nothin' but nigger ville
And he regret that his school is filled
With niggers, Jews and wetbacks
Plus chinks, now he drinks
Hour after hour screaming white power
Motherfucker want me to call him sire
He wanna take me higher
Shit, he wanna take me higher
Wait until they get a load of me, shit shit
I wanna get high so high
Chocolate Thai
Shit, he wanna take me higher
Shit, wait until they get a load of me
Shit, shit, shit
A girl gets date raped just like that
At a frat, now she chase the cat
Feminist saying women is God's gift
Do you need a lift? Can I take a sniff?
Do I sound sexist 'cause I'm chasin'
After Deja, she from Texas?
Down to kick the asses of the fascists
Who wanna put me in the oven and burn me to ashes
But I'm not burnin', the world keeps turnin'
And nobody learnin' 'cause college is full of shit
Teachin' me to memorize nothin' but the lies
Chillin' at a rally for peace
The beast from white power up in the tower
With the M-1 gun and a scope on dope
Thinkin' he's the great white hope
Motherfucker levels off
He wanna see me 6 feet deep shoveled off
'Cause Columbus University is nothing but a empire
Who wanna take me higher
Shit, he wanna take me higher
Wait until they get a load of me, shit shit
I wanna get high so high
Chocolate Thai
Shit, they wanna take me higher
Wait until they get a load of me
Shit, they wanna take me higher
They wanna take me higher
Uhh damn, they wanna take me higher
Damn, wait until they get a load of me
Damn uhh, they wanna take me they wanna take me
And if you feel it
Then let me know it
Show it
Here's your chance, don't blow it
I got game to player, now watch me throw it
I feel we owe it to the people on the real side
To collide styles because it seems real music died
We got pride in the city Detroit
Kid Rock and Bradley baby, umph now it's the real joint
And when it hits like a fist from Joe Louis
Trying to get higher than it will just blow through us
I heard lightning
I heard thunder
I saw the river about to blow
I saw faces
So many places
Wondering where I got to go
Feel like I got to find
Some kind of piece of mind
Where I can rest my aching soul
Take me higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
A little higher
Were going higher baby
Set me soul
Come on, come on, come on, come on
On fire
Were going way up to stay up
Way up
Come on, come on, come on, come one
Higher
Higher baby
A little higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Were going way up to stay up
I heard stories
I got older
Wonder if I could believe
But I take what
Take me higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
A little higher
Were going higher baby
Set me soul
Come on, come on, come on, come on
On fire
Were going way up to stay up
Way up
Come on, come on, come on, come one
Higher
Higher baby
A little higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Were going way up to stay up
You give a brother
Wonder if I really need
But I know that
Gone tomorrow
I'm gonna reach a higher spot
Show me that fire
Take me higher
Somehow I got to breathe
Come on
Take me higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
A little higher
Were going higher baby
Set me soul
Come on, come on, come on, come on
On fire
Were going way up to stay up
Way up
Come on, come on, come on, come one
Higher
Higher baby
A little higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Higher
Were going way up to stay up
A little higher
A little fire
Take me up
And if you feel it in your toes and it won't stop
And if it's deep in your soul then you can't stop
And if you know what I know, then you won't stop
Were going way up, way up, way up, way up... Stay Up
Tear it up
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Tear it up
Set my soul
Come on, come on, come on, come on
On fire
Were going way up to stay up
Tear it up
Come on, come on, come on, come on
A little higher
A little higher
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Were going way up to stay up
Oh ho
Fuck... that
Come on
Higher than love
Way up, way up, way up
Set my soul... on fire
Come on
Yeah, come on
Uh, yeah
Higher... Yeah
Higher... Come on
Artist: Twista f/ Ludacris, Wildstyle
Album: Kamikaze
Song: Higher
Typed by: JamaalBigCat@aol.com
[Intro: Twista] + (Ludacris)
Yeah, you know it's about to go down right?
(Yeeah!) Got to let them know who is this? (Ludacris!)
And who else nigga? (Twista, wooo, ahhh!)
Uh, uh (check it out)
[Verse 1: Ludacris]
Sometimes I think that I got to see a little bit of brighter days
Cause I confine myself to a city near you in a solid cage
And you could look to the left or the right but I'm trapped on center stage
And I could rap to the beat, but I don't know how to change my ways
I still hear a fool and I track them, distract them, and whack them
Jack a nigga for the day to days and I yak them, attack them, and sack them
Get a weapon and I crack his brain cause I'm a hustler, baller, pro
And it wouldn't be right for me to be around busters, and crawlers, and hoes
But I'm a pimp at night, so talk shit and I'm a lift them up off of they toes
With a street sweeper regulating quarters, and ki's, and o's
In a two-seater, Ludacris and Twista with bags of dro
Smoking, choking, get them open, croaking
It's so potent - I'm hoping to keep on floating
Soaking wet and you can bet, people I'm high
I'm seeing lions, and tigers and bears - oh my!
And I can't hide it or keep it hidden, good riddance I'm felling good
I'm weapon-concealing, stealing my neighborhood
Would, could, and should break a nigga off
They'll see you later, go to the doctor, hold my balls and (cough)
You caused some vapors and I caught the throne, brain blown, honey I'm home
Give me the microphone, and fools is like, "leave me alone!"
[Chorus: Twista]
Throw it up if you get high, get blow, get drunk
If you want what I'm on, come on and kick it
Let's ride, smoke dro, beat the trunk
All the bad ass bitches that want to party
Just shake it, great players get pumped
Me and my thugs, and hustlers in the party
Get money fuck hoes, get crunk
[Verse 2: Twista]
(Look out!) I put a little bit of hash on some motherfucking purple haze
I feel it all over my body, adrenaline with the Bacardi
Got me up and then rippng shit in a rage
In the netti cofetti with a belly, Gucci
Timberland stepping on the petal up in the Cadillac truck
Want to get me for the wood
Better get the whole motherfucking hood to come and give you some back up
We can get into it and if you want to do it
I'm leaking the fluids out of the bodies that want to come at this
If they all get some blood for fucking with thugs that I bury
My adversaries better not want none of Twis'
Represent for my city, anybody that different with me
Got to get him for thinking it's a game
And whether you from my city or not, talk shit
I'ma kill him especially if he say my name
I've been up on him - I handle my business
And I'm a stick him up for the scrilla, from K-Tilla, smoking on a fat piller
Murder haters that don't feel a
Niggaz claiming they want to bring it, but really don't be killers
Balling out so hard the size of my rims grow to a hellafied sight-scene
When the dough become no bigger, I'm going to drop that 2003 on 19"
[Chorus: Twista]
[Verse 3: Twista]
We balling out of control, I floss on, play on, pimp on
A speed deamon, pedal to the metal when I'm in the zone
Hang on cause here I'm gone
In the motherfucking wind when I'm sippin on Henn'
I got paper, you owe something
And I done came a long way from letting me hold something, to roll something
Find a body, then fill him up with some adrenaline
And then kill him and send him to the cemetery
With a flow for the whole world like a poet,
Check icy cold, your Pop's so hungry, he mends a berry
Shit, and when it come to shipping good
Who that?, who that?, I got the sack open
And the herb got the flow so strong
Hot them on crack, the track is for back-to-back smoking
Never come up with it unwise, and he
nigga you ain't untouchable when I spark the heat
Coming at you like sharks to meat
the blood is softly, I can tell when a mark is hard as we
Come fully loaded cause I'm hard to beat
always screaming where a beat and the dro at?
You know we love that cut up
In the back of the club with purple in the back crying
Twis' and Ludacris get fucked up
[Chorus: Twista]
[Outro: Twista] + (Wildstyle)
Pass me the..
Let me smoke my..
(Yeeah, this a Wildstyle production
Twista and Ludacris collabo, get it, get it
When the earth kept on turning
And the smoke faded away
We climbed the walls at the end of our time
Sending shivers down the spine
They're feeling like lost fools in the night
Wherever they are
Leaving ruins and the moon's shining bright
Lighter than a star
Higher than a mountain
Reaching the stars
Higher the their shadows
Coming out of the dark
Silent screams out in the black rain
Are gone forever with the wind
Oh no, they can feel the heat coming
Rising with the sun
They're feeling like lost fools in the night
Wherever they are
Leaving ruins and the moon's shining bright
Lighter than a star
Higher than a mountain
Reaching the stars
Higher the their shadows
Coming out of the dark
Higher than a mountain
Reaching the stars
Higher the their shadows
It's that, it's that, it's that, it's that... chronic, chronic, chronic, chronic
It's that, it's that, it's that, it's that... hydrolex, drolex, drolex, drolex
It's that, it's that, it's that, it's that... Westside, Westside, Westside, Westside
It's that, it's that, it's that, it's that... Compton, Compton, Compton, Compton
[Bridge]
It's not that I can't stop, It's that I won't stop, I make it hot (I do it)
I'll be on top, as soon as the beat drop, I'll make the whole club rock (I do it)
[The Game]
Lace my Air Ones up, put my gun up
I don't need that I'm riding wit Dre
Who don't love us, every hood throwin they dubs up
Who the fuck yall thought was comin after Young Buck
hip hops worst nightmare, Mr. Gangsta Rap is back in black nike airs
You want war, we can settle it right here
I got a squad, E-V-E and Busta Rhymes yeah
Or you could give me ya bitch, her with the light hair
Sit her next to these yellow bottles, tea right there
Matter fact I'll take you in the back
you in the hat, and you in the blue and the black
Lets have a gangsta party
Somebody lean over and tell Banks to order another case of fortys
Yo Doc give them a coke with that, wake up the west coast is back
[CHORUS]
(I can take you hiyaaaah)
Show you how that low rider bounce off the flo' - You ain't know?
(I can take you hiyaaaah)
It's the motherfuckin chronic nigga thats whatsup - roll that blunt
(I can take you hiyaaaah)
G-Unit, Shady Aftermath I'm the motherfuckin Game and
(I can take you hiyaaaah)
[Bridge]
[Game + (Snoop Dogg)]
Like Dre did, I created a buzz without a single like N.W.A. did
From the hood -liquor- store to the state pen
This is gin and juice
the doc made the club R.O.C. without timbaland boots
First nigga to put drolex on a bentley coupe
You wanna piimp? I perm my shit up like snoop (Westside)
Chronic 2005 motherfucker, put the purple in the dutch
'Let it Burn' like Usher giirl
Drop down, do the eagle, fuck that
Real niggaz just pull up they pants and lean back giirl
Make 50 spill his cris, he'll call you a bitch

Or you can take a ride on the magic stick
[CHORUS]
[Bridge]
[Game]
Put 25's on the hummer, why not
I'ma be here for the next 10 summers
Drop me in the 4th quarter I'm fuckin up they money
I don't need sound scan I'm doin my own numbers
When that impala bounce you can see the chrome under
I got em' in every color yea I'm a known stunner
When I hit a switch I get higher than long jumpers
low ridin with a hood rat or a grown woman
And I'll do anything but I won't fuck Mariah
Even if she had Ashanti butt naked in bed
cause she got a forehead just like Tyra
I can say what the fuck I want, you thought Dre retired
Left me in 6-4 his Dayton wires

[Dr. Dre]
Look out for Detox

Black water Hattie lived back in the swamp
Where the strange green reptiles crawl
Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees
Like sausage on a smokehouse wall
Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes
An' all of them watching you
Stay off the track to Hattie's Shack in the back of the Black Bayou
Way up the road from Hattie's Shack
Lies a sleepy little Okeechobee town
Talk of swamp witch Hattie lock you in when the sun go down
Rumours of what she'd done, rumours of what she'd do
Kept folks off the track of hattie's shack
In the back of the Black Bayou
One day brought the rain and the rain stayed on
And the swamp water overflowed
'skeeters and the fever grabbed the town like a fist
Doctor Jackson was the first to go
Some say the plague wasa brought by Hattie
There was talk of a hang'n too
But the talk got shackled by the howls and the cackles
From the bowels of the Black bayou
Early one morn 'tween dark and dawn when shadows filled the sky
There came an unseen caller on a town where road run dry
You'd swear there was found a big black round
Vat full of gurgling brew
Whispering sounds as the folk gathered round
It came from the Black Bayou
There ain't much pride when you're trapped inside
A slowly sink'n ship
Scooped up the liquid deep and green
And the whole town took a sip
Fever went away and the very next day the skies again were blue
Let's thank old hattie for sav'n our town
We'll fetch her from the Black Bayou
Party of ten of the town's best men headed for Hattie's Shack
Said Swamp Witch magic was useful and good
And they're gonna bring hattie back
Never found Hattie and they never found the shack
Never made the trip back in
There was a parchment note they found tacked to a stump
Said don't come look'n again.
[Verse:]
Yeah
You may not know my name
But by the time I leave
You'll remember the B to the O to the B,
And every single dot that's in between
And every single time I hop up in the scene,
I'm feelin' like I'm better than before.
I'm ready for whatever, if you feel me let me know, cause I just wanna flow.
I got up in this thing tryna prove that I'm better than before,
But I don't even sweat it anymore.
I get up in the zone, then I coast,
As I take flight, gravity better hold me tight.
Your relativity don't mow me right.
Please don't compare n**gas to me cause I'm ham on the mic.
I'm down on the ground like a red pair of dice,
Just scared of the fight,
When you lay down and prepare for the night,
I'll be in the air on the flight.
I don't even care of the time,
High in the days of my mind.
Every single face that'll say "hey Bobby Ray" I'll say "Hi".
You're livin' the craziest life,
In a pair of shades and the spotlight raised,
Makin' every nightclub jump like raves
Raves, raves, Braves, Braves, home of the Braves,
Eastside Atlanta that's where I stay.
[Chorus:]
I'll take you higher, higher than you'll ever been
See things you've never thought, you thought would ever exist
Higher, higher than you'll ever been
Where we go we won't fall, we'll stay there
Cause there's a place with no wars, it's been ages since we've gone
Get away, so long
We might want to take you higher than..
You might want to take it higher take it
We just want to take it higher than..
You might want to take it higher... take it
We just want to take you higher than..
You might want to take it higher take it
(K-OS)
Love do we really know the meaning, cause we always fuss and fight
And the mind is so deceiving, when the heart can't stead you right
So I wrote this song to tell you, that I can't stand alone in the fire
Forget the lies they sell you, Only you can take me high
Love without a second... Far to close to mention
Love without a second... Far to close to mention
(K-OS)
You can take this higher ....And be all the stars above
You can take this higher.... than I can
You can take this higher ....And be all the stars above
You can take this higher.... than I can
(K-OS)
There's no need keeping it seperated.
Just show me we moving together now
Ain't no need keeping it seperated.
Just show me we moving together
(K-OS)
Yo yo
You really got me going, you took me for a ride
Funny how you got two faces, Dr. Jeckle, Mr. Hyde
I try to swallow my pride but then I choke
People thinking this is just a joke
Never really got the verses I wrote
Its just a rap song that's all, people do not care
Do it for money and power and rolleys in the air
But you know who be returning so people don't fear
I got to take it high and disappear
I got to do it
You can take this higher ....And be all the stars above
You can take this higher.... than I can
You can take this higher ....And be all the stars above
You can take this higher.... than I can
There's no need keeping it seperated
Just show me we moving together now
Ain't no need keeping it seperated
Just show me we moving together
You say you say you say you flying
And it feel so good
I can see the unthinkable beyond visions and dreams.
some interpret the signs it's all a mystery to me
but my faith sees the invisible,
looks into the soul that come across the unseen
am I blind or do I see for the first time
in a world of hate where love's denied
but my faith believes the impossible
here for the taking so I'm ready to go
[Chorus]
higher-- a place I've only imagined
higher-- farther than I've ever gone
higher-- it'll all make sense when I get there
all the things I know and the things I don't
I'm standing on my own
this unparalleled life is a gift and not my own
so I keep on walking through the valley of the unknown
my faith redeems the most despicable,
low life, no good man like me
my life is sketched out on these pages like a map
been good, I've been bad but it shows you where I'm at
look real close, it'll show you how to find
the treasure of your soul, one love divine
[Chorus]
if that's all that you have to give
(is that all you have to give)
take me higher. I want to go higher
go ahead. I won't settle for less
take me higher. I want to go higher
so you can do what you want
and say what you want
live how you want
and die how you want
but this faith has put my mind at ease,
souls at peace & my spirit flies free!
Alright, now it's up to you
There's a rocking storm
Coming over you...
Alright let's go
We've got the last call
And we're ready to go
Lights are burning
For another show tonight
It just feels alright
Shoulder to shoulder
Scream n' shout
We got what you need
A whole lotta dynamite
It just feels alright
It's now or it's never
Gonna make it last forever
It's really close to overload
We'll take you higher
More n' more
We'll take you higher
Than before
It's a journey to the eye of the storm
Hot vibrations coming one by one
Party's just begun
High speed running goes hundred and two
Power train rockin' all over you
Nothing you can do
Higher, higher, higher
We'll take you higher
Than ever before
(Lyrics by Persson/Svensson)
I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
without you I move at random
Abusing 'cause you're a friend
and there's no Jesus here to explain
And take me higher
come take me higher
come take me high above our time
Take me higher
oh take me higher
come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here?oh yeah
You justify, you're not afraid
and I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
there's so much more than this before we go
To take us higher
come take us higher
come take us high above our time
Take us higher
oh take us higher

Don't ask me why [X2]
[Big Sean]
My, my, my, as the world turns
Today if I don't earn, best believe I'm gon' learn
If I can't do either or, shit it's none of my concern
Watch my enemies burn as I f-fill every urn, ah
Reminiscing on the rappers I would look up to
The ones who want my feature price and the hookup too
The girls I fantasized about tryna hookup too
Niggas seven feet, telling me I'm who they look up to
Huh, and bitches still telling me to grow up
Don't invite 'em to my shows but always still manage to show up
Man, I made myself a boss and then I gave me a promotion
And I step into the booth and change the world like I be voting
So when you step inside my office, treat that place like it's the Oval
El presidente, lord, sensei
Do ya job, it could be pay your rent day, getting riskay
Crazy nigga, they ain't seen it like this since 'Ye, yea
Well this the life that I live
Collecting everything overdue, for all the work that I overdid
D-Town but Chi-Town they love me like I'm Oprah kid
Tryna make it to the top so I can let my dogs know it exist
'Cause when you come from the bottom man it's so hard to get a glimpse
So hard to get a glimpse, so while I'm here I might take a pic
And show 'em that it's more to the world than tryna make a living
Like changing it then looking back and saying that we did it
Okay, como me llamo
She say Ingles, no hablo, man unless it's eat me out though
Benihani, my McDonald, all black leather jackets
While I ride in my Diablo, swear I feel like I'm Keanu
Wishing Lamborghinis made a five do'
'Cause I got too many real mufuckas I ride for, die for, uh
Straight out the metropolitan
My city need a hero so I treat it like Metropolis
And it's a few bad Lois Lanes I can't name
Even though I'm me, Lord knows that I can't say
But I'm still the same me, same clique, the same hood, the same bitch
I came up, my bank up, but I stack that like I ain't rich
Back when we was on college tours with Wale, man we ain't make shit
From Greensboro to SoCal, man all the way back to Cambridge
And Michigan State, close to my Michigan estate
Man we was trying to get away, man we was trying to get our day
And damn (damn), tomorrow never seemed so close
And life ain't what it seem no mo' (no mo')
'Til I was standing next to Puff and Hov, off the French coast
A million dollars never seemed so broke
And every bitch I'm fucking praying they the one I settle with
And niggas suing me and they just banking on the settlement
Never settling, life is too fast just to settle in
So many rocks up in my bezel, police thought embezzlement like damn!
Shit, can't a young nigga live man
We done worked too hard
Yup, GOOD, Finally Famous nigga
I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
without you I move at random
Abusing you 'cause you're a friend
and there's no Jesus here to explain
And take me higher
come take me higher
come take me high above our time
Take me higher
oh take me higher
come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here: oh yeah
You justify, you're not afraid
and I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
there's so much more than this before we go
To take us higher
come take us higher
come take us high above our time
Take us higher
oh take us higher
come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
come take us out of here

To find out what a cloud tastes like
Scrumptious
What them niggas rhymes sound like?
Bubkiss
I try to talk to women like I'm Fredrick Douglas
But they just want me to take them to Fredrick's on Douglas
She don't want the sky, she just want to Skype
She don't want to see the light, she just want to be in lights
And the world keep turning
Feeling like EPMD, I need a Sermon
Cause like be a crock of shit like Steve Irwin
Crikey
Swoosh by like you bought stock in Nike

Because I know that life be like the hair on You-Gi-oh!
Wild and spikey

[Verse 2:]
I'm almost there, reaching up like I need a hand
Convincing the pilot that we don't even need to land
Tell the beaches, get low, meet the sand
Niggas don't want to grow like Peter Pan
Fan of the Pixies but tell Wendy I don't use the dust
I just think happy thoughts and it threw me up
Left Neverland and it grew me up
Got the Net hooked, they pirating my music but it blew me up
Boom, Vizzy in the room
Feeling like that MFer and I don't mean Doom
On top of my cake like a figurine groom
Want to jump up to the sky before I jump over the broom
Zoom
I'm gone
Inebriated
Illy like I love you, abbreviated
Got stripes in the streets I raided all over my jacket like a Zebra made it
One day they'll say, "He the greatest."
Ha, one day they'll say, "He the greatest."
Just a little higher man, we gonna take it
High, high, high, high, high, high, high

Let me shoot straight, clear up any mistake
And take a moment or two just to reiterate
Never did I think that I was anything great, no
Well I simply said my name just to fill in the blanks
John Reuben, the professional rapper
The one who likes to mix up the chitter chatter
We whip it up and play games with subject matter
In the stage of life this is but a chapter
Oh, page one brief introduction
Mr. Zappin likes to have some fun
Some cats call it wack while I think that's dumb
I confront it, feel like I'm capable of either one, I'm getting
Higher
We gonna take the music much
Higher
Go ahead throw your hands up
Higher
We gonna take the music much
Higher
Now what we talking about let's go
Oh my, oh my hey hey
What more can I say, hey
We gon keep on pushin' on and on
We're going on and on
[Rap interlude by Alon Auguste' not included]
Burn it permanent in the mind of those who misinterpret
Those who are uncertain if
What we do here is a good thing
Road blocks won't stop us we must keep on pushing
I am not opposed to losing, I just do not believe in quitting
What a wonderful world our God is babysitting
And I am just a visitor
But while I'm here I'll do my best to stand and deliver
Exact is it, or rather I can get
And I admit, I'm not one hundred percent accurate
Split me fifty-fifty, I'd be happy with half of it
The room to grow will keep me passionate
Higher
We gonna take the music much
Higher
Go ahead throw your hands up
Higher
We gonna take the music much
Higher
Now what we talking about let's go
Oh my, oh my hey hey
What more can I say, hey
We gon keep on pushin' on and on
[Intro:] Hey, Hey
[Verse 1:]
When I was younger girl nobody told me about the facts of life.
I was living in the clouds I didn't think about what's wrong or right.
So I didn't understand that playing games is what some people do.
I swore I didn't start my life until the day I fell in love with you.
And you kept taking me higher just to drop me off...
[Chorus:]
Do you feel like a man? Cause you've got my heart in your hands.
And you took me high as you can, higher just to drop me off.
Tell me did it make you feel good? (Ha) Treating me the way you would. (Ha)
Cause you took me high as you could. Higher just to drop me off.
[Verse 2:]
When I was a younger girl nobody told me I would have to fight.
To keep my sanity I couldn't love because I'd lose my sight.
So mostly everything you did is send another gift you broke my heart.
Until you came around again, and I was right back at the very start.
And you kept taking me higher just to drop me off...
[Chorus:]
Do you feel like a man? Cause you've got my heart in your hands.
And you took me high as you can, higher just to drop me off.
Tell me did it make you feel good? (Ha) Treating me the way you would. (Ha)
Cause you took me high as you could. Higher just to drop me off.
Higher just to drop me... Let's go.
[Bridge:]
Does it make you feel good to know broke me that's what people say.
Does it make you feel good you broke me down. (Uh)
I give you all I have, till there's nothing left, and all the time I spent, I can't get that back so... I think of what to do, what I wish I knew, how to keep away from you. (Hey hey hey...)
[Chorus:]
So do you feel like a man? Cause you've got my heart in your hands.
And you took me high as you can, higher just to drop me off.
Higher, Higher, Higher, you take me higher just to drop me off.
(hey, hey, hey hey hey, hey, hey, hey hey hey)
Tell me did it make you feel good? (Ha) Treating me the way you would. (Ha)
Cause you took me high as you could. Higher just to drop me off.
If I could spend my life in awe
Of everything I ever saw
You'd be the one to lift me up
Higher than I am
If the sky came crashing down
You'd be the only star I found
Of all those scattered on the ground
I'd hold you in my hand, hold you in my hand
Higher, higher, higher
Higher than I am
So this is where I long to be
From now until eternity
A shepherd of the soul to me
And I will be the lamb, I will be the lamb
Higher, higher, higher
Higher than I am
I see you sleeping now
Invincible and golden
There's nowhere else
To go from here
So this is where I long to be
From now until eternity
A shepherd of the soul to me
And I will be the lamb, I will be the lamb
I will be the lamb
Come and stay, make my day
Take away the gray
And set the wheels in motion
Down the road, what you do
Come and fall into
At the end of this day
You can flee you can be
Your own enemy
In the end you will see no daylight
And you try, by and by
Falling from the sky
Like a nine days wonder
Give a little try, give a little more try
Never fall in line for a fleeting moment
Be and end all, I am aiming high
Climb a little higher
I don't wanna see your affected smile
Not for anything, the time is nigh
Lay it on the line and run the mile
Reach a little higher
You can shine or resign
(Or)
Lay it on the line
Or you make a bid for power
Vertigo, overflow
Just a cameo
Silent as a whisper
Raising Cain, break the chain
Gather new terrain
Time and tide wait for no man ever
And your eyes are agleam
Like you're in a dream
Getting out from under
Give a little try, give a little more try
Never fall in line for a fleeting moment
Be and end all, I am aiming high
Climb a little higher
I don't wanna see your affected smile
Not for anything, the time is nigh
Lay it on the line and run the mile
Reach a little higher
Give a little try, give a little more try
Never fall in line for a fleeting moment
Be and end all, I am aiming high
Climb a little higher
I don't want, not for anything
So won't you run the mile?
Now I know how to get down on the floor
Experience the moves you can't ignore
But something 'bout this beat that's got me hooked
Come over here and take a closer look
'Cause I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I can't stay on the ground
Whoa, I can't get enough, I can't get enough
This is taking me now
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
I do this just for kicks, just for the thrill
I got this high without taking a pill
This move has got me way over the sun
I'm dancing like I am the only one
'Cause I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I can't stay on the ground
Whoa, I can't get enough, I can't get enough
This is taking me now
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
The music's got me going higher
I feel like I can touch the sky
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
Love, do we really know the meaning, 'cause we always fuss and fight
And the mind is so deceiving, when the heart can't stead you right
So I wrote this song to tell you, that I can't stand alone in the fire
Forget the lies they sell you, only you can take me high
Love without a second
Far to close to mention
Love without a second
Far to close to mention
You can take this higher
And be all the stars above
You can take this higher
Than I can
You can take this higher
And be all the stars above
You can take this higher
Than I can
There's no need keeping it separated
Just show me we moving together now
Ain't no need keeping it separated
Just show me we moving together
Yo, you really got me going, you took me for a ride
Funny how you got two faces, Dr. Jeckle, Mr. Hyde
I try to swallow my pride but then I choke
People thinking this is just a joke, never really got the verses I wrote
Its just a rap song thats all, people do not care
Do it for money and power and rolleys in the air
But you know who be returning so people don't fear
I got to take it high and disappear, I got to do it
You can take this higher
And be all the stars above
You can take this higher
Than I can
You can take this higher
And be all the stars above
You can take this higher
Than I can
There's no need keeping it separated
Just show me, we moving together, now
Ain't no need keeping it separated
Just show me, we moving together
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You can take this higher
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You say, you say, you say, you flying
And it feel so good
You say, you say, you say, you flying
I don't care 'bout the stars, I don't care about trips to Mars
And I don't care 'bout Venus, no I don't care 'bout flying to the moon
There's better things to do between me and you, we are
Higher, right here, right now, we're higher
Much higher than the highest star in the universe
We're higher, inside the fire burns, yes it burns
I don't want you to catch a star for me, don't want to own the galaxy
And I don't want no diamonds in the sky, no I don't want you to fly me to the moon
There's better things to do between me and you, we are
Higher, right here, right now, we're higher
Much higher than the highest star in the universe
We're higher, inside the fire burns
Comets blazing, burning red, supernovas in my head
Suns erupting millionfold and the galaxies explode
Higher, right here, right now, we're higher
Much higher than the highest star in the universe
Feels like heaven when I think about you
sparking that love within my soul
and when I touch U, I can't describe it
sending chills, down my bones
With God as my witness and watching over
We'll write our love in the stone
Please give us strength Lord to fight our battles
and we can walk on the streets of gold
Cause you take me higher, than I've ever, ever known
give me good feeling, like a king and queen on a throne
cause you take me higher, further than the sky above
send me in ecstasy baby, with you love
Tell me what you're thinking of, must thinking of love
put your hands into mine and then we'll take off to the sky above
soft like an angel, like the feathers laying on a dove
touch me with your soul love, till I lose control
Just like an angel watching over me
(U protect me from my fears)
I once was blind, but now I see
(Ever since the day U appeared)
I just wanna say
I want U in my life
till the day I die baby
Look in my eyes,
tell me right now,
that U and your love
music by P.Ahonen, lyrics by P.Ahonen & J.Kyro
I'm disappointed in you
we passed the turning point
there's nothing to be done
we're darkness and light
I'm disappearing into you
your mind is like a maze
you can't see my point of view
we're drowning in lies
[Pre-chorus]
Show me, the darkness of your
heart grown cold
open your eyes and see...
[Chorus]
Higher, emotions will rise
Desire, still burns behind the lies
Unspoken words can't be heard
if you don't keep an open mind
distant skies will turn to red
the puzzle unsolved...
Is this battle all in vain
the pain and the suffering
the question still remains
is there light in the dark
[Pre-chorus]
But the white girls say, "Where you get that cool beat from?"
She love it (She love it)
Every beat of the drum, she sprung
She say I make her wanna touch it
She love it (She love it)
She make me wanna touch it
I love it (I love it)
We buzzin', yeah
Higher than a motherfucker
Higher than a motherfucker
Higher than a motherfucker, yeah
Yeah, I've been known to chase 'em
Known to replace 'em
Shoe game outta this world, I outer space 'em
Known to have a hundred and one, like Dalmatians
Maybe if she special enough, I'll glass case her
Get caught cheating, and I gotta let you stick me up
Let you shop til you drop as a pick-me-up
Bergdorf bandit, Barnies for the burglary
But these bands lit the whole store like Hercules
Get raunchy in Givenchy, my palm reads
Passports peed on the wall in arm's reach
Paddle-shipped and push-buttoned, no car keys
The pent houses are poolside with palm trees
She love it
Every beat of the drum, she sprung
She say I make her wanna touch it
She love it (She love it)
She make me wanna touch it
I love it (I love it)
She was driving the car
One thumb on the wheel
Cigarette burning
Life to her was no big deal
Her thin, white tanktop
was almost see through
I've always been attracted
to her butterfly tattoo
I wanted to know her
I knew that she could
show me the way, yeah
She could take me higher
than I've ever gone
She could take me higher
than I've ever flown
The top was down
the sun was on our necks
I;m usually driving
but today there are no regrets
We were going some place
and she could lead me there
I can see her dapth once you
peel away the layers...
I wanted to know her
I knew that she could
show me the way, yeah
She could take me higher
than I've ever gone
She could take me higher
that I've ever flown
I never thought I could
feel this way
Ain't gonna look baco
on yesterday, no
I see the world open up for me
It's in her eyes
as she looks at me, yeah
and now i know what I am here for
yeah, I know
She could take me higher
than I've ever gone
She could take me higher
Go higher
Everybody go higher
LA Symph we go higher
We go higher higher
[Verse 1:]
Oh shoot wait I'm from Nebraska ya'll
This is for my little chunky dunks in Omaha
After school Rogers Park shooting basketball
And for watching "Knight Rider" David Hasselhoff
Felling good ya'll following achieving my call
This is stuff you play when you bouncing to Del Almo Mall
This is stuff when you pick up, you go to have a ball
Look at her wiggle and giggle in her Gucci shawl
It feels good to be fine
Little bitties in major cities they falling in line
Instead of love they mistaking me for Ginuwine
And be signing his autographs continually lying
And I got to stop this who can top this
All over the South Bay Pigeon John can rock this
Without a shock list soon I'll be opening my style
So all you brothers can rush in and shoplift
[Chorus:]
Let go higher go higher [x8]
Lets go
[Verse 2:]
This ain't alternative this is negro stuff
And 40 years ago in Brooklyn they still acting rough
With slacks cuffed an Brooks Brothers suits and stuff
And you slipped got beat down to the new James Brown
It's that simple nickels better duck my swing
And fine dimes better rewind while I do my thing
6-tre nickel PJ all day
You put this in the trunk and ladies want "disobey"
They be dancing and shaking with their cigarette pants
Look at the hard rock brothers trying not to dance
They be posted chilling back at the wall
And be dancing with the ladies having a ball
[Chorus:]
Let go higher go higher [x8]
Lets go
[Verse 3:]
Oops-a-daisy I'm going crazy
Life is puzzle all the dolls amaze me
Tough is the struggle but I can't let it faze me
Got to rise above like a dove I'm Swayze [x2]
Higher, there's no need to come down
Arising through the other ground
These people, these people don't mean a thing
But don't you think it's funny
That now they get to hear me sing
All right
We'll try this
We'll try this and see if it works
I want you just like that
Just like I
Always had you
Well, if it doesn't work
Then what we need is another try
When I'm like this
It strikes me: I'm the only one that knows you
So long, when will these hands be free
Throw life into these spinning heads
Oh, higher
There's no need to come down
Arising through the other ground
This song, this song is the same as always
Anyway I wanna shape it
Such a diamond, such a holiday
So long, when will these hands be free
Throw life into these spinning heads
Go honey, be a holiday
Go honey, be a holiday
Go honey, be a holiday
The higher I get, the farther I fall
Sick of it all, get away get away from you
The higher I go, the higher I want to stay
Away from reality and get away from you
The more that I want, the more that you take away
All the I'm trying to say is get away from me
The higher I get, the farther I fall
Sick of it all, get away get away from you
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna
fall
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna
fall back baby
I've never seem to wonder why
You always want to see me cry
Always try to turn to the ones you love
I've never seem to wonder why
You always want to see me cry
Always try to turn to the ones you love
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna
fall
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna
fall back baby
I'm so high, I can only take me higher
You can take me higher, I let you take me there
I'm so high, I can only take me higher
Did you think this could happen, did you think you were warm
Holding my body for ransom, is just an idea to try and even the score
A habits' so hard to break, I'm planning my big escape
So did you think this could happen, my body falls to the floor
And if I get put to rest, this is my last request
If life goes on don't ever sell yourself for something you'll regret
And we're building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world. is anybody out there?
You can't fight the feeling, and what were we thinking
You can't fight the feeling, you get from fading out
And what were we thinking, cause I've come to far to still get shut down
And we're building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world. is anybody out there?
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
And we're building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
Once placed upon a group of repeats
Those individuals make my time so unworthy and impressed
How silent you are than the lights
Discovering what could only hide for so long
After and a week you know that we'll be gone
We run this game and we need to escape
I'm over that way of communicating
Over and around
Everyone is anyone
I could say I can wait but what would that mean?
Where would I be?
Are you still listening to me?
Oh, tethered heart of the words you've grown to starve
The world is overrated where you are
Very simple, unimpressed
And we're growing up so fast
Now the lights
Discovering what could only hide for so long
After and a week you know that we'll be gone
We run this game and we need to escape
I'm over that way of communicating
Over and around
Everyone is anyone
I could say I can wait but what would that mean?
Where would I be?
We're always looking but we're never moving our feet
That's where the problem repeats itself
And that's where she found someone else
And now the party's started and there's no one left to retrieve
What she's taken from me that girl
And I just want her for myself
And it's so overbearing
As I watch her move so steady
And she won't make her body stop
No, she won't let her body stop
I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away (dance tonight away)
You've been moving so slow, I wanted to move the same way, oh yeah (move the same way)
People like us use their bodies like exploding weapons wired
Never excusing while we're standing as we dance tonight away, oh yeah
Take apart their academy by begging for attention
Cause I'll show you loyalty, but lust is hard to mention
So baby just stare at me, encourage to walk closer
And I watch the world freeze as I'm hit with the cold shoulder
As I'm hit with the cold shoulder
I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away (dance tonight away)
You've been moving so slow, I wanted to move the same way, oh yeah (move the same way)
People like us use their bodies like exploding weapons wired
Never excusing while we're standing as we dance tonight away
Believe in what you want again
Just don't let it take you
And just don't let them take you
Cause we're always looking but we're never moving our feet
That's where the problem repeats itself
And that's where she found someone else
And it's so overbearing
As I watch her move so steady
And she won't make her body stop
No, she won't let her body stop
I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away (dance tonight away)
You've been moving so slow, I wanted to move the same way, oh yeah (move the same way)
I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away (dance tonight away)
You've been moving so slow, I wanted to move the same way, oh yeah (move the same way)
People like us use their bodies like exploding weapons wired
Never excusing while we're standing as we dance tonight away
(I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away)
As we dance tonight away
(I've been standing alone and you've been dancing tonight away)
The clock is running out of time again,
I said and I need to feel important
Reaching up I gotta get this of my chest,
They call this a final warning
I'm so tired, but I cannot fall asleep
I'm so hungry, but I cannot bring myself to eat
I'm holding on to what I wanted way back when
The emotions gone, is it the way it should have been
The stories are drawn, do we erase or just fill in
All the blanks that are one, it's a fabricated mission
Calm and quiet like a picture to the final floor
She waits the silk seductress
Does she know I don't wanna stay
I could never say that's its time to move on
I never said, that I wanted to be saved
Pass the shovel here I am to help you dig my own grave
And I cannot wash away this sand, cause im down and and pinned
In a position I never wanted into anyway
All I got to give to get to gain is gone
And a little frustration, you set yourself up for this thought she says
It's too late because I'm already finished all the poison
Hey pretty baby I saw that you like to smile
You know that it takes a while, to take some risks
And I don't think that I could ever get another chance like
With a murderous taste upon my lips, never really made much sense
And such a gentle sin is this, made up for time we had spent
Overdue in a place we never knew, and in a place we'd never been
I'd rather be alone and love to be forgotten
(I'd love to be forgotten) [4x]
I never said, that I wanted to be saved
Pass the shovel here I am to help you dig my own grave
And I cannot wash away this sand, cause im down and and pinned
So now listen carefully. Well here's the words for you to read. I just wish you'd believe in me, and I know how hard this might be. Remember I'm just seventeen. Well I want to live my dream.
There's no use in giving up this time. Time is spent. We're talking about our future, and how will it end. So this how I'll live my life. Are you content? Could you just pretend? And now I've had enough, my story of growing up. Well have you had enough of me?
When I'm not giving in, then when will this dream begin and how will the story end? Well will it be broken?
Go, you move we go, now don't go
You move we don't, now go
Now don't you move we won't go now don't go go
I thought the way that she moved, meant the way that she tasted
I could rip these things right through her lips
Captivating experience that left me here, with an intoxicating kiss
But tonight, I'm setting all my memories aside
So why don't we trace the footsteps back into our past with the ones we've lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made, no one should have to take the fall for it when it's our life to live
Go, you move we go, now don't go
You move we don't, now go
Now don't you move we won't go now don't go go
Found out the way that he moved, found out the way that he tasted
Then he ripped these things right from her lips
Never thinking the first time that they met, would be the last she saw of him
Is glamor an issue, while balancing reason?
All we are waiting to destroy
The things in life we are made of, a blessing we're tasting
And comes a point to recreate
I could build the expansion, resembling patterns
Disguising everything and what we have to relive
And this all for this one dance
So why don't we trace the footsteps back into our past, with the ones we've lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made, no one should have to take the fall for it when it's our life to live
I am watching over you from the stars
Don't be scared, I know exactly where you are
Cause there's a piece of me and it's burning in your heart
Two separate points, oh, I've made clear
You can cast ashore I'll be praying for you
My infatuation's grown as knowledge begins to shift
Why are you so terrified of living your own life?
You'll be catching us tonight
I know you'll be calling in tonight
And still be down about tomorrow
When you think about yesterday you said,
"Oh, how time's a wasted thing."
Who can just give up like that?
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh, noooooo.
Favorite part of getting asked a lot of questions is:
To have a real start on preparing yourself for something else
What's inside?
Discover what someone has to offer when your worlds collide
Oh, my favorite part of getting asked a lot of questions is:
Have a real start on preparing yourself for something else
What's inside?
You can't write the same song over again
Can't write the same song, write the same song
You can't write the same song over again
Can't write the same song, write the same song
Can't, can't, can't...
You can't write the same song over again
It's in the same key
Well over again, oh yeah
You can't write the same song over again
It's in the same key
Over again
Because we're doing so good
Making up for miles just a little while like you would
Under-estimating, you know you think we're doing so good
I'm glad to be a part of the glass that you placed upon your withered heart
Encased and left for danger
In a race to the rode on the way to apathy
It's life's little let down, spontaneity
Spontaneity, oh yeah
Can't, can't, can't...
You can't write the same song over again
It's in the same key
Well over again, oh yeah
You can't write the same song over again
It's in the same key
Over again
Because we're doing so good
Making up for miles just a little while like you would
Under-estimating, you know you think we're doing so good
I'm glad to be a part of the glass that you placed upon your withered heart
Encased and left for danger, danger
In a race to the rode on the way to apathy, oh yeah
It's life's little let down, spontaneity
It's spontaneity

She writes in a letter, she said it's on
I won't forget you and California
It's nights like this love, some of us are young
We get through together, we catch every fall
I don't think ever that time is enough
And time is not enough
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
That's me in love
That's me on the radio
You're the sky at night
Hello
Not a day goes by then another day goes by
I want to get you all, all
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
With a whisper I lie
That's me in love
That's me on radio
You're the sky at night
Hello

Hello

You're the sky at night (you're the sky at night)
The best day that I have had was in Nebraska with my dad, a thousand miles from everything, and, and he said, âDon't put your own palm in a girl's whose gonna save you from the world.â Sorry, you left home, you gotta make it on your own. Though times are tough, take what you can. This is your test to be a man. Sorry, you left home, you gotta make it on your own, (so long), your own, your own, (so long), your own, your own, and I'm here to tell you that yo'ure wrong.
Well you're wrong. Well you're wrong. It's going great, and I'm doing fine, and I promise to forget to write. I'm sorry you left home, you gotta make it on your own. A song to all the fairweather friends who won't be seeing me again. I'm sorry you left home, you gotta make it on your own, (so long), your own, your own, (so long), your own, and I'm here to tell you that you're wrong.
Dressed up, whats a movement?
I can't control, I can't confess my fear
I don't don't, everybody has a reason to call them all too young
You cut me off too young
Messed up, am I moving?
I can control, but I can't predict my years
I fall so fast and careless, it's just something I do oh
It's not like we don't know what we're fighting for
Dearly departed
Certain tragedy when we started off
We were such an indestructible team when you had your plans, I had my dream
Lessons that I'm learning, I have the world suspended in my hands
You know we kill it teamed up, just me and you girl
It's not like we don't know what we're fighting for
Dearly departed
Certain tragedy when we started off
We were such an indestructible team when you had your plans, I had my dream
Dearly departed
You know you messed things up, that's how you lost my trust
And now you're lost and it's all because you were not strong enough
With progress we forget
How come this always happens to me?
It's such a sudden tragedy
Wishin', listen
Looking out for me slippin'
Switchin' on a steady course
Devoted to emotions and no one even knows it
I know you him, that is how you lost me
Dearly departed
Certain tragedy when we started off
We were such an indestructible team when you had your plans, I had my dream
Dearly departed
You know you messed things up, that's how you lost my trust
And now you're lost and it's all because you were not strong enough
With progress we forget
How come this always happens to me?
Cruel intentions dating back some time. It's better just to wait, let's cut this tension with a knife. Rewind and listen to her say, âI never wanted it to end this way.â And be tired of waking up with the hope that you'll be next to me, conviced that's all I need. Even though my dreams seem far away, there's a memory that still remains:
A midnight sky, your eyes as wide, it's paradise and daylight brings a smile, a smile that could chase away the night. Remember back when everything was new, staring at the stars up in the sky. Wish this could last forever. (your eyes) You promised me that you wouldn't go, and we'd last forever.
A midnight sky, your eyes as wide, it's paradise and daylight brings a smile, a smile that could chase away the night. Remember back when everything was new, staring at the stars up in the sky. Wish this could last forever.
reasons oblivious untrue always...
and im still taking the time to find *her*,
its everything that makes me feel alright..
ill stay low, as the moment comes to cut you all,
is that what you wanted to hear?
selfish and silent,
and nothing can*...................*
ill stay low, take aim at the *soft contendor*,
'cause starings not supposed to hurt
avoiding what truely matters, for better or for worse..
recall, infatuation from a distance,
and ill take notes, to exploit our only weakness,
and turn it into reflect but seaming so much different, you never gave it time to *grow*
but now im facedown *unbroken*,
my chest ripped right open,
from sunrise to nightfall,
Sneaking slowly through the night
Outside, the air, it feels like eyes to you and I
So for a short time I'll come inside
Call me crazy but just maybe
I could be the one to change your mind
So take a chance
You never want to dwell on what could've been
'cause I'm taking on every chance that comes around
And every look that's thrown my way
I've gotta get up, I've gotta get up to get in
And understand why we are superficially conveying
Life is so bad at forgetting me and where we came from
You know it's not so easy now
Everyone is scared about it
But you could never live without it
I know you want it so bad
You know I want it so bad
Can we see this through 'til the end
Of high and it's safe to carry on
We came for what we wanted, now we're gone
Believe it, I don't want to see you go
And I would appreciate a little self-control
We're just getting started here
Is this what you wanted me to say, I need to know
(We're just getting started here)
We're just getting started here
'cause I'm taking on every chance that comes around
And every look that's thrown my way
I've gotta get up, I've gotta get up to get in
And understand why we are superficially conveying
Life is so bad at forgetting me and where we came from
Oh my God, for goodness sake
Everything that we say goes
We got one, you know it
I'm more about myself than I ever thought
I'd never follow you
Oh my God, for goodness sake
Everything that we say goes
Oh my God, for goodness sake
Everything that we say
We got one, you know it
We got one, you know it
Oh my God, for goodness sake
Everything that we say
We got one, you know it
We got one, we got one
We got one, you know it
One check, one love,
How many times can we watch him crumble?
Histrionics repeats itself all over again,
I'm down on thought you say,
You're becoming so the same,
If it were up to me you're gone
I've been dying to get it into you somehow,
One check, one love,
How many times can we watch him crumble?
Histrionics repeats itself all over again,
I'm down on thought you say,
You're becoming so much the same girl,
If it were up to me you're gone
Even death will never tear us apart.
Go, you move, we go, now don't go
You me we don't, now go.
Now don't you move, we won't go, now don't go, go.
I thought the way that she moved meant the way that she tasted.
I could rip the seams right through her lips.
A captivating experience that's left me here with an intoxicating kiss.
I'm down on thought you say.
You're becoming so the same.
One check, one love.
But tonight, I'm setting all my memories aside.
How many times can we watch him crumble?
Histrionics repeats itself all over again.
If it were up to me you're gone.
I've been dying to get it into you somehow.
One check, one love.
Go, you move, we go, now don't go.
You me we don't, now go.
Now don't you move, we won't go, now don't go, go.
Found out the way that he moved.
Found out the way that he tasted.
Then he ripped the seams right from her lips.
Never thinking the first time that they met would be the last she saw of him.
How many times can we watch him crumble?
Histrionics repeats itself all over again.
If it were up to me you're gone.
I've been dying to get it into you some how.
One check, one love
How many times can we watch him crumble?
Histrionics repeats itself all over again.
If it were up to me you're gone.
I've been dying to get it into you some how.
The consequence of a child
The mild months of worthwhile
No mess you better decide
With grace but not by design
She smokes like guns to the world
We'll catch your moderate slur
And sing your modern love song
But wish you'd died anyway
Now gone I'm gonna get you for that
Get you more like a chance
I'm more of a guns to the wall
The guts that cut through your lungs
Every breath takes a sound
You're deciding on them all
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe
The consequence of a child
The mild months of worthwhile
No mess you better decide
With grace but not by design
She smokes like guns to the world
We'll catch your moderate slur
And sing your modern love song
But wish you'd died anyway
Now gone I'm gonna get you for that
Get you more like a chance
I'm more of a guns to the wall
The guts that cut through your lungs
Every breath takes a sound
You're deciding on them all
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe
I can only think that you would be unhappy for me after all the silly shit we've been through
I can only hope that life would be so lax and so free when the mornings get you more than before
I would only hope that everything would come back to you just to say you wanted me too
I would be the one to let you catch up and go through, go through
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
The storyline drug out for hours
the fixed alibis are taking affect
causing conflict in my mind
she somehow knew but i was careful
put on regret and wear it everywhere i go
but im still buying time to confront these allegations
the hardest part of letting go
is to do the right thing if you dont want to
i cant figure it out my conscience is eating me alive
so give me one more chance to protest this execution
getting back to where we started
with a bit of a pick me up
i turn around and let you leave
another fatal mistake letting you take all the hurt i must of made
but ill be gone with the gillotine for now
but im still buying time to confront these allegations
the hardest part of letting go
is to do the right thing if you dont want to
i cant figure it out my conscience is eating me alive
so give me one more chance to protest this execution
I've come here to confess and admit to everything ive done
you say you had no clueand i say your time had come
Tonight I'll leave the window open to anyone who wants to come inside
Those words you left unspoken were covered up by an "Out Of Order"
Sign me up to hold you in my arms all night
I won't say much but I'll show you how I feel
And this is how I feel
(Nahhahahah Ooohooh, Nahhahahah Ooohooh)
She opened up the door, walked out onto the floor
The faint scent of her hair had me ready for more
A conversation like this should never exist
About leaving home and relationships
And I'm falling fast, slow it down, try and relax
And your feeling trapped, so take what is said, take it away
Tonight I'll leave the window open to anyone who wants to come inside
Those words you left unspoken were covered up by an "Out Of Order"
Sign me up to hold you in my arms all night
I won't say much but I'll show you how I feel
Well, I woke up today with the promise you made
And the smile on my face the I won't break
With each flex of my wrist, my hands on your hips,
And this kiss on your lips that you won't miss
Oh, no
I'm watching you close tonight
Save your poor excuses for your friends
You know you wanted this
You know you needed in
For all those times we felt like just being ourselves, it wasn't enough
Open up your eyes and see that you're all I need
Tonight I'll leave the window open to anyone who wants to come inside
Those words you left unspoken were covered up by an "Out Of Order"
Sign me up to hold you in my arms all night
I'm gonna give it away to you,
I thought I'd hold out for something more but I cant wait,
Don't hold your breath 'cause I'll be gone in the morning,
These city lights have become more than I can take,
And I want free
So let's set the record straight,
Everyday is a storm that's waiting
to strike,
every night is a dream but not real,
Life is not what it may seem,
So get off your ass and pull your face
on outta the dirt,
A few steps back and you'll see,
That this is worth the heartache and the tears,
So...
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere,
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home?
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere,
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home?
Go to college and learn something nobody needs,
It's 3 AM, have you found a place to
slip away your make up and the lies that you tried
Open your legs if you think your futures inside,
I see you blushing,
Do you have something to hide those bruises on your neck this time?
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere,
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home?
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere,
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home, my home?
Alone...
Say hello, to the best, few years of your lifetime spent, and pursuit of love,
We are crashing everything on this town tonight,
I'm gonna give it away to you,
The conversation stopped abruptly and sudden whispers filled the room
We're too down to care about the eyes that are watching his every move
No place is safe, I've been on the rope for days
And the show's in place, grab the mic and take the stage
But we can't hold back (hold back)
Just give me a second to react
Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast
That we can't hold back (hold back)
And lose sight of everything we made
You know me better than that, you know me better than they
This isn't who I am
Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah
And with no surprise she saw every side like a story she had read
Not too quick but I could guess the ending
And I could see it in the those looks you're sending out
I messed things up, can I make it up to gain your trust?
All the things I thought that I was missing
Changed them around, made my positions, with all we have is time
And that's the reason why...
We can't hold back (hold back)
Just give me a second to react
Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast
That we can't hold back (hold back)
And lose sight of everything we made
You know me better than that, you know me better than they
This isn't who I am
Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah
And what do I do, to make amends for all I've put you through
I see that what I've done can't keep on happening, had my fun now I'm sick
No need to run, it's like someone had held their hands out begging me to come
My cover's blown with the marked up concrete and leaving home is what led you straight to me
Exposing more of what we can't ignore and what its for...
But we can't hold back (hold back)
Just give me a second to react
Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast
That we can't hold back (hold back)
And lose sight of everything we made
You know me better than that, you know me better than they
I don't dare
I'll see you later
Everything you think is comfortable, well it is
As I stand at the top of this fountain
Waiting to be blasted into the air
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way
And I don't mind having that someone around
If you listen and write then the lesson in life's not playing the role of the let down
And I know I'm casually learning to get down
And we're crazy concerned, attention deserved, not playing the role to get let down
No air
I'm breathing better
Everything you feel is terrible, cause it is
Oh I can't forget the night that it happened
Always keeping secrets that we will never tell
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way of everything (don't stand around)
Everyone gets in the way
And I don't mind having that someone around
If you listen and write then the lesson in life's not playing the role of the let down
And I know I'm casually learning to get down
And we're crazy concerned, attention deserved, not playing the role to get let down
(And I don't mind) And I don't mind (And I don't mind) having that someone around
If you listen and write then the lesson in life's not playing the role of the let down
(And I know I'm) And I know I'm (And I know I'm) casually learning to get down
Though the shades are pinned down, I still can see inside your head. Your eyes, a proper end of darkness, still you're my day from left alive.
So say that you never had the chance to say goodbye. Please stay with me. Go on and stay just one more night, the sky has never been so bright. Please stay with me ''cause I'm left alone.
So paint me a picture of the last year, kiss me one time before you leave. And all right, but you don't have to wait for me. Don't wait, please wait.
So say that you never had the chance to say goodbye. Please stay with me. Go on and stay just one more night, the sky has never been so bright. Please stay with me ''cause I'm left alone.
Say âI miss you.â Stay, I need you. Sorry that I was born. [x 3]
Case Closed: The Photograph
A fade away to what we thought would always last
So shy away and leave all your friends behind
A turning point
We want to end up in the sky
Case closed
Do you have something to say?
Maybe that's why you keep callin', callin' me
Maybe you are too afraid
And that is why you keep stallin', stallin because
You know there's something here that matters
So baby tell me so I can make things better
So you know that..
Nothing's important right now besides something beautiful laying face down
Bury your eyes deep in the pillows of wanting more than something that's capable
Nothing's important right now besides someone suitable being left out
Bury our bodies so deep in the sheets of wanting more than we really need
Break it down
Will you just give us a shot?
And before you discard our progress
And I know it's asking a lot but seeing you was a promise
And I'm confident on how my heart decides
Till you decided to go and change your mind
And say that I can't spend the night
Cause you don't want to offend someone else you're dating
Nothing's important right now besides something beautiful laying face down
Bury your eyes deep in the pillows of wanting more than something that's capable
Nothing's important right now besides someone suitable being left out
Bury our bodies so deep in the sheets of wanting more than we really need
Uh, come on
(Nothing's important right now)
Waiting on a heartbeat
That you've stolen from me
Waiting on a heartbeat
That's making me feel empty
Nothing's important right now besides something beautiful laying face down
Bury your eyes deep in the pillows of wanting more than something that's capable
Nothing's important right now besides someone suitable being left out
Stars are falling from the sky. Me left alone to face the night. This time I'm sorting out my life. It'd be so hard just to drive faster and say goodbye. I'll be here waiting if you ever change your mind, your mind, change your mind.
Passed her at the same goodbye. Please won't you give me one more try? This drive I'm sorting out my life. [x 2] Sunday, one more night, fall down again. I'm broken, we're all the same, starting again.
This scene has played a million times. Memories are turned to life. This storm hits us by surprise. I close my eyes and make a wish and realize I've never felt like this, a feeling in my heart I can't describe, describe, can't describe.
Passed her at the same goodbye. Please won't you give me one more try? This drive I'm sorting out my life. [x 2] Sunday, one more night, fall down again. I'm broken, we're all the same, starting again.
Step back
We all need a little bit of space
And really can you trust that and leave it up to me and any other way
Oh, we felt a tale and now we'll watch the sunrise
If it's right this control is golden like the sunlight
Make your move
She fell from the 31st floor and wanting more, oh no one saw her move
Isn't that a great surprise? And doesn't that make you
You know you're just so sure of wanting more, but nobody has a clue
You party with a secret smile, doesn't that give you
This taste is bitter except when you finish, all done and lying in bed
This isn't too selfish, right?
This isn't right
Step back
We all need a little bit of space
And really can you trust that and leave it up to me and any other, and any other way
She fell from the 31st floor and wanting more, oh no one saw her move
Isn't that a great surprise? And doesn't that make you
You know you're just so sure of wanting more, but nobody has a clue
You party with a secret smile, doesn't that give you
This taste is bitter except when you finish, all done and lying in bed
This isn't too selfish, right?
Make your move
Make your move
Make your move, whoa
Make your move
She fell from the 31st floor and wanting more, oh no one saw her move
Isn't that a great surprise? And doesn't that make you
You know you're just so sure of wanting more, but nobody has a clue
You party with a secret smile, doesn't that give you
This taste is bitter except when you finish, all done and lying in bed
This isn't too selfish, right?
Maybe you should turn around and walk away
Cuz you're not really listening
To anything that I've been trying to say
Stop ignoring me
Please baby baby please just go
Cuz I can't be held responsible
Leave baby baby leave cuz I know
That it's impossible
Outside laying down it's wearing me out
The gray clouds
Crushing the grass tasting the past
In your mouth
Let me forget your head on my chest
We cross the line confused
Why would you say that all our hope is gone
Are you trying to hurt me
Why would you say we're barely holding on
To say that you need me
And why would you say that if we're meant to be
We'd be together eventually
Maybe its time we go our separate ways
And explore other options
Well well well well
You can dream baby baby dream but you know
That this cant be casual
Please baby baby please just go
If the feeling is mutual
Look at me now walking around
At sun down
Light on the glass regretting the past
Out loud
Let me forget your head on my chest
We crossed the line confused
Why would you say that all our hope is gone
Are you trying to hurt me
Why would you say we're barely holding on
To say that you need me
And why would you say that if we're meant to be
We'd be together eventually
Maybe its time we go our separate ways
And explore other options
Please baby baby please just go
Please baby baby please just go
Please baby baby please
Please baby baby please
Why would you say that all our hope is gone
Are you trying to hurt me
Why would you say we're barely holding on
To say that you need me
And why would you say that if we're meant to be
We'd be together eventually
Maybe its time we go our separate ways
And explore other options
Maybe its time we go our separate ways
And explore other options
Well well well well
And I said
Please baby baby please just go
Please baby baby please just go
Closer [x4]
Turn off the lights in this place
And she shines just a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer
(Come closer)
Come closer
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get, the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
(Closer)
She says, "Come closer"
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Come closer [x4]
I just can't stop, no
I just can't stop, no
(Just can't stop, no)
I just can't stop, no
(Just can't stop, no)
I just can't stop, no
No, no, no, no
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(Said I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(Said I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
(Bring myself)
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(And I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Let's keep the fire tape on, we'll keep our hands hot
I cannot get that ace so let me see a face card drop
We can play the field, if it feels right
Or we can spin the wheel and roll the dice for midnight
All that matters to me girl, win or lose
Is an x-rated complete swirl of me and you
So if you want to see the show, just come with me baby
I will show you how I roll
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground
with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock
you, drop you, and make you want it more?
And we're gonna risk it all for the weekend
Cause I've been needing this time off and everybody's
drinking
You get excited, you can't hide it when you hit the floor
The after party won't get started till bout three or four
So when you see me from across the room, girl you know
what to do
Can you get me in the mood?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground
with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock
you, drop you, and make you want it more?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground
with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock
you, drop you, and make you want it more?
I'll make you want this
And make you want it more
You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in
To make me want it more
You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground
with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you,
drop you, and make you want it more?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground
with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you,
drop you, and make you want it
Rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it
I'm not one to stake my claim
I'm more like the undertaker babe
Live in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things
Well I've been doing it since I was young
Studying the strategy so I could win
Anytime I needed money I had things to pawn
And I'd take my money down to the Palms
And with a little luck we could get messed up
And baby you get off later meet me at the elevator
Up to the top floor, maybe the playboy
We can go anywhere you want, it's your choice
Cause baby knows
I'm not one to stake my claim (no no)
I'm more like the undertaker babe
Live in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things (well)
I'm not one to stake my claim (no no)
I'm more like the undertaker babe (the undertaker baby)
Living in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things (and getting gone)
I know you know what I'm doing to your body, the torture
You lose control, and I can feel your heart exploding
On the dance floor, feeling the heat more
I'm looking for the back door out to the patio, we'll take it slow
Till I get you to a place more remote
You stop to give in, I went inside and suddenly pull you close
I'm not one to stake my claim (god damn)
I'm more like the undertaker babe
Living in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things (well)
I'm not one to stake my claim (no no)
I'm more like the undertaker babe (the undertaker baby)
Living in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things (and getting gone)
If you wanna escape the old nine to five
Then just stop on by to the city of lights
It'll make you feel alive and just like T.I.
I'll make sure that you can have whatever you like
Everybody's always asking me
"Hey, what's it like to grow up in Sin City?"
You can hit the strip or the tables dancing
But I'll be at the club as the main attraction
I'm not one to stake my claim (god damn)
I'm more like the undertaker babe
Living in the city that never sleeps
Not making lots of money but enjoying the finer things (well)
I'm not one to stake my claim (no no)
I'm more like the undertaker babe (the undertaker baby)
Living in the city that never sleeps
[Chorus]
Uh, uh it's so scandalous (Scandalous)
Uh, it's really get scandalous (Scandalous)
Ooh, scandalous (Scandalous)
Uh, scandalous (Scandalous)
[E-40]
Yeah, don't allow no speaks
We play for keeps among these darkened streets
No peace, half of them fools I went to school with are deceased
Sad, especially when your rag don't come from much
I'm doin' bad, but they call me playboy
Partner came through in the clutch, reached out and touched
And I want the Chips Ahoy without the milk and honey
I ain't no punkish fool, steady missin' money
Steady missin' fetti, Eddie steady missin' scrill
I'm tryin' to make enough allowance to pay my water bill
[D-Shot]
Growin' up wasn't that cool to me
I didn't have that many friends just enemies
Until I quit school and started slangin' dope
Came up and wanted a lil' mo'
Mo' mail, clientele yo that sells
Humongous clout, tryin' hard not to fail
Boss ballin' feelin' my way this mo' each day
Out smartin fools tryin' to have it my way
[Suga-T]
Well, how can a cutie come so so tight
Everybody and they mama got a gat so don't nobody be wantin' to fight
Haters be out there bad tryin' to impress their foes
Pimps turn em' out and then they grow up to be sad-a-pus
Gotta keep a child because I'm tryin to get paid
Yeah, gotta shake these city slickers outta my way
But now mother's day I didn't like a hold on, amen
Stay strong, through it all, do it all
Cause folks is straight scandalous
[Chorus]
Scandalous, shit is gettin' scandalous
Scandalous, it's really gettin' scandalous
Scandalous, scandalous, scandalous yeah
Scandalous, it's really gettin' scandalous yeah
[B-Legit]
I'm off in this game, runnin' thangs tryin to get it
I do what I do but I'm true when I spit it
Talk about the time when the grind did me bad
Broke in my pad, took everything I had
Left me with the fo' maybe I can trade her in
Rent's due and all I got is a fen
Knots in my stomach can't understand this
Fools in the town becomin' scandalous
[E-40]
I know some things that'll stun ya, make ya wonder
I seen the scandalous use to cheer the social security number
I seen fiends make pipes outta ink pens
Commit incest throw they body at they own kids
Playas become haters, if they ain't doin' it now they doin' it later
Oh you ain't heard man this here's startin' to be contagious
Can't be sittin' in the cabinet collectin' dust
Plus, man this life is so scandalous
[Chorus]
Scandalous, scandalous, scandalous
Scandalous, really gettin' scandalous
Scandalous, scandalous, scandalous
[D-Shot]
I remember sittin' in the pen
On the pool table hopin' that I win
Ten packs of some noodles, coffee, and some cigarettes
Tryin' to get penitentiary on the ridge
It seems fools don't wanna pay
My source of income depends on day to day
Nobody on the streets cares for me
No packages or no messages
[B-Legit]
Scandocious, keep my focus would ya feel me
Got me thinkin' people close to me tryin to kill me
That's why I ride with this hill side beamer
Bust ueys and only smoke with the lueys
The other day they was plottin' on my homie Dre
Tried to slip him a mickey in his Bombay
But now we knowin' not to fall for the oakey-doakey
It's all bye-bye when it smokes
[Suga-T]
I was left in the dark scene had to run
Did what I had to do, kept my game tight and never wonderin'
Credit card scandals, boostin' falsified checks
Takin chances, scandalous
[Suga-T singing]
You know times are so scandalous
What should we do, just keep on movin'
Close your eyes, have that flow
Could it be your face I see
Up in these scandalous dreams
Standing side of the street
I see you walking away
Her car and bags are packed
Heading straight for LA
More of a reason to go
Less of a reason to stay
With every mile she goes a memory fades away
Not really hip in her school
Unsatisfied with the crowd
Only looking for some place where she can be found
The poetry that she writes
A different kind of release
If they cant hear her scream
Maybe they'll hear her sing
La la la la
La la la and I know that she will be fine if she tries
The days turned into months the months they turned into years
On a road to fame shedding too many tears
A few letters to home it just wasn't the same
They even made her change her name
On the way to work turned on the radio
And I heard a familiar voice that I know
She had gotten her dream and became a star
And her voice rang out from in my car
La la la la
La la la and I know that she will be fine if she tries
And she sang
La la la la
La la la and I know that she will be fine if she tries
But she's trying too hard to run away
From everything she left behind
And if she's gonna do this on her own
Then she leaves tonight
And they called her a runaway
La la la la
La la la and I know that she will be fine if she tries
La la la la
La la la and I know that she will be fine if she tries
And she said you're not gonna take away my dream
Cuz I'm running away and soon you'll see
That things will be fine if I try (that things will be fine if she tries)
And she said you're just wasting your breath on me
Cuz I've made up my mind and soon you'll see
That things will be fine if I try (that things will be fine if she tries)
She Started coming down
She's high up in an airplane
Descending on our town
And I, I like my vision blurred
The lights reminded me of her
And the way I let her down
But I'm getting older and I know that nothing's changed
I've got to let her go
And the truth is I'm better off alone
No sense in dragging someone else along
And I know that she knows
She said
You'll lie wide awake at night
Thinkin' about the battle between you and
I know it's not about who wins
Sometimes it's better to give in
You've got to learn to try again
I'm taking to the road
The desert looks so desolate
As I'm reaching for the phone
And the static reappears
The signal's keeping me from her
And what she needs to hear
Oh, but time's passing slowly
I'm so lonely without her
She's absent from my world
And the truth is I'm better off alone
No sense in dragging someone else along
And I know that she knows
She said
You'll lie wide awake at night
Thinkin' about the battle between you and
I know it's not about who wins
Sometimes it's better to give in
You've got to learn to try again
Come come on
Come come on
You'll lie wide awake at night
Just thinkin' about the battle between you and
I know it's not about who wins
Sometimes it's better to give in
I lie wide awake at night
Thinkin' about the battle between you and
I know it's not about who wins
Sometimes it's better to give in
You've got to learn to try again
Sometimes it's better to give in
Sometimes it's better to give in
On the walls of my apartment
Hang the pictures of all our problems
And the nails I see hammered through me are my therapy
And how did everything go so wrong?
And I'm stuck here left just holding on
To the misery you left for me but now i see
You should go if you want to leave
I know when your six feet deep
You'll be saying your sorry so ill make it easy
I'll pick out the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place that
You leave it up in flames
When the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts i hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first
You have everything you needed
But you walked around so jaded
With a heart as hard as pavement
Bleeds through cracks unseen
But you should go if you want to leave
I know when your six feet deep
You'll be saying your sorry so I'll make it easy
I'll pick out the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place that
You leave it up in flames
When the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts i hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first
Maybe eventually when your finally deceased
Death will feel natural
Then you'll see
All your biblic dreams wont become reality
Because they're out of your league
I'll pick out the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place that
You leave it up in flames
And when the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts i hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first
Oh you hurt me first
You hurt me first
You don't know what you're doing
You look like a student with a pencil in your pony tail
Excuse me for staring at the light iridescent color of your fingernails
Well I think the situations wrong
But you totally turn me on
It's unusually hard for me to just let you be
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn't sit so close to me
Cuz I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft, and sweet
We could dive right in
Into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And lady in the black dress
You'll never sit so close to me
I don't know what I'm doing
This lust is confusing how to I explain myself
Such a beautiful sadness behind her long lashes
Those eyes are crying out for help
And I think the situations wrong
But you totally turn me on
It's unusually hard for me to just let you be
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn't sit so close to me
Cuz I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft, and sweet
We could dive right in
Into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And lady in the black dress
You'll never sit so close to me again
This mornings laid to rest
The casket has been sealed and blessed the day is gone
His widow noticed me
Looking at you she said
Don't you let love leave and get away
So let's cease the day
Lady in the black dress
You shouldn't sit so close to me
Cuz I could take advantage
Of a soul so vulnerable, soft, and sweet
We could dive right in
Into the deep
But when we come up you might feel empty
And lady in the black dress
You'll never sit so close to me again
Lady in the black dress (lady in the black dress)
You shouldn't sit so close to me
Cuz I could take advantage (I could take advantage)
Lipstick note on my bathroom mirror
Tells me I should've known
I could still hear her
On the street below
She must've had somewhere to go
I grab my coat walk in any direction
Doesn't answer her phone
Grind my teeth in the tension
Streetlights come on
I feel like there's something wrong
Tell me tell me I can relax
I feel so isolated till you come back
And I'll write the story of a man obsessed
I can't go on this way
And I wonder if you're the hero or the renegade
Oh, we'll see how this plays
I can't tell if she's dodging my questions
This runaround sends me a mixed message
And I just don't know
Am I being irrational?
Twisted up in my thoughts or intentions
Bring her to a room with all my affection
But there's no one home
These are thoughts I have alone
Tell me tell me I can relax
I feel so isolated till you come back
And I'll write the story of a man obsessed
I can't go on this way
And I wonder if you're the hero or the renegade
Oh, we'll see how this plays
Am I
Reading you wrong?
'Cause you
Are taking to long
To prove
Where you had gone
I lose
Lipstick note on my bathroom mirror
Tells me I should've known
I could still hear her
On the street below
She must've had somewhere to go
And I'll write the story of a man obsessed
I can't go on this way
And I wonder if you're the hero or the renegade
Oh, we'll see how this plays
I wish you would, oh oh oh
Come over here and
Show me something good,
You got me thinking about, thinking about
How you look, ooh hot damn
You must have wrote the book
Oh, that girl is so fine
She must've wrote the book
And every second is electric
Like a thousand volts
Not to mention, my intentions
Only natural, and your affection
Is the question
I've yet to close and I'm close
You keep giving me looks
When you come my way
The way you shaking me up it's like an earthquake
You keep giving me looks
That I can't escape
You make my pulse race
With the aoa
And you know I could, oh oh oh
Come over there and give you
Something good,
I bet you're thinking about, thinking about
How you're hooked, oh on me now
You know I wrote the book ooh
With a touch like mine
I must have wrote the book
And every second is electric
Like a thousand volts
Not to mention, my intentions
Only natural, and your affection
Is the question
I've yet to close and I'm close
You keep giving me looks
When you come my way
The way you shaking me up it's like an earthquake
You keep giving me looks
That I can't escape
You make my pulse race
With the AOA
And every second I'm infected
And without a cure
And I'm positive
You're someone who's worth fighting for
You just got that something more
Plus... I'm really sure
You keep giving me looks
When you come my way
The way you shaking me up it's like an earthquake
You keep giving me looks
That I can't escape
You make my pulse race
With the AOA
You keep giving me looks
When you come my way
The way you shaking me up it's like an earthquake
You keep giving me looks
That I can't escape
You make my pulse race
With the AOA
The thrill of the chase when you don't want to leave with me
But then at the end of the night you're in the parking lot
You ask for a ride get inside slide your hand up on my thigh
It's what you to all the time
You flash that charming arrogance
I can't resist
The way you fake your innocence
I see a devil in your left eye
And an angel in your right
I don't know what to do
I can't make up my mind
You got a bad reputation
But I keep coming back
In a sticky situation
And I'm caught in your tracks
I keep telling myself your a pathological liar
But I love to play with fire
How you smile when you say that you hate the excitement
Of the dangerous roads that we take
Don't you know I know you lied when you tried to confide
Took my hand led me outside once again you need a ride
You flash that charming arrogance
I can't resist
The way you fake your innocence
I see a devil in your left eye
And an angel in your right
I don't know what to do
I can't make up my mind
You got a bad reputation
But I keep coming back
In a sticky situation
And I'm caught in your tracks
I keep on telling myself your a pathological liar
But I love to play with fire
I like the way you tease me
The good the bad the sexy thing you are
I like the way you need me
I soon forget all your hypocrisy
You flash that charming arrogance
I can't resist
The way you fake your innocence
I see a devil in your left eye
And an angel in your right
I don't know what to do
I can't make up my mind
You got a bad reputation
But I keep coming back
In a sticky situation
And I'm caught in your tracks
I keep on telling myself your a pathological liar
But I love to play with fire
I just can't help myself I keep coming back
In a sticky situation
And I'm caught in your tracks
I keep on telling myself that you're a pathological liar
Sometimes we feel like we've lost our identities
Another stranger keeps looking at us suspiciously
Our body stricken with bruises and our arms are weak
From all the problems, keeping solutions out of reach
We crumble nervously, in need of surgery
A new identity, desperately seeking change
And now this fantasy, becomes reality
Another gallery of people they think are strange
And we try and we try to deny it
To keep from the burn and turn
And we need some inspiration
To keep from going crazy
Sometimes we feel like we're in prison with no release
Locked in a taxi on (?) and 103
Our beds are made at home where we won't get any sleep
We feel like zombies feeding our excessive need
Sometimes they're chemical
Mostly they're sexual
But never logical, these patterns are hard to change
And all this flattery
Distorts our sanity
We act neurotically, old habits are hard to break
And we try and we try to deny it
To keep from the burn and turn
And we need some inspiration
To keep from going crazy
And we're lost in translation
Without a place to be
And we try and we try to deny it
To keep from the burn and turn
(oh yeah, to keep from the burn and turn)
We're lost in translation
Without a place to be
And we try and we try to deny it
To keep from the burn and turn
And we need some inspiration
To keep from going crazy
And we're lost in translation
Without a place to be
And we try and we try to deny it
To keep from the burn and turn
If life's a bowl of cherries
Why is mine the pits
Well I feel like crap from the bottom of my boots to my hat to my fingertips
I wanna get drunk get stoned get high and hang out with my friends
And all I need is a woman's warmth
And that's where you come in
I wanna get high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Live every minute to the limit till the end of my days
Well a bus pulls up the honky tonk
And there's a line around the honky-block
Ya know, that's what these crackers love to see
Ya see I threw out my fishing line and honey I caught you
When after the show in the back of the bus
Oh sweetheart I know what you wanna do
You wanna high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit different in the same way
You wanna get drunk and then get drunker
And spend every minute to the limit till the end of my days
Now sit down honey I'm gonna tell you the truth for the first time
Oh no dinner no movie no flowers no malls no suit no tie no cell phone calls no promises popcorn roller skates diamond rings
or making cakes no brand new fast cars ice cream candy bars checkin' in callin' back no (do you think I'm fat) kiss me once
kiss me twice damn you feel nice do you think I might see you next year
Stone and then get stoneder
Every woman's just a little bit different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Yeah live every minute to the limit till the end of my days
A veces tengo razón y puedo estar equivocado
mis propias creencias están en mi canción
el carnicero, el banquero, el baterista y luego
No importa en que grupo estoy
soy gente común, sí sí
hay una azul que no pueden aceptar la verde
para vivir con un gordo tratando de ser un flaco
y derrames cerebrales diferentes para diferentes personas
y así sucesivamente y así sucesivamente y Scooby Dooby Doo bee-
oh sha sha - llegamos a vivir juntos
no soy ni el mejor tampoco tu
somos los mismos hagamos lo que hagamos
me amas te odio ya me conoces y luego
no se puede averiguar la bolsa en que estoy
soy gente común, sí sí
hay un pelo largo que no le gusta el pelo corto
para tal colmo un un rico que no ayudará a los pobres una
y derrames cerebrales diferentes para diferentes personas
y así sucesivamente y así sucesivamente y Scooby Dooby Doo bee-
oh sha sha-llegamos a vivir juntos
hay uno amarillo que no aceptará el negro
que no aceptará la roja que no aceptará la blanca

As the sunset fades
Through the window pane
Stars bleed in with the city
Melt off with the rain
Your mind is racing
Your heart won't rest
And the night goes on
Now you have a chance that you can't pass up
It's time to take one shot
Just hope you're ready now
And pray that this was all enough
But you have to wonder
Can you still deliver?
Can you hold the gun?
Could pull the trigger?
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Than you ever been before
See the spotlight shine
Their eyes focus in
Feel the weight crush down
Around you as the pressure builds
The bell is ringing
And the fight's beginning
Will you take a bow?
Or go down swinging?
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Than you ever been before
Higher and higher
You're gonna take this higher
Higher and higher
You're gonna take this higher
Higher and higher
Oh you're gonna take it all the way
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Take you higher
Hit you higher
Make you higher
Hit you higher
Take you higher
I don't know what to make of this
Funny brothers on my nerves type ridiculous
I guess I really gotta do it, put my game down
Holla game fucking blew it put my name down
And it seems you fucked up like a drug deal gone wrong
Figured out a lot, you won't be that way long
Plus, y'all niggas is bush leaguers
And I bet y'all ain't get no bush either
My hood dogs sing songs of rejection and pain
If we get sunshine, it's followed up with rain
Like to lay your jig down and get a blessing of brains
My man skeeing no you saw, so he stressing your chain
We see the 'morrow through the shades of it might not come
Got to get it all now 'cause we might be done
Matrix, nigga you looking at the one
Fortified with a bona fide blastin' of a gun
We in the space for positionin', money and illiciting
Living out our lives while certain cats just lookin' in
We bewildered off the sacks and the green
Whether the bay, L.A. or Chicago or queens
You better raise your game they comin' at you high
You better raise your game, don't ask no questions why, nigga
They speak figuratively, I mean this shit
And they speak literally, you in some shit
Higher
Take you higher
Hit you higher
Make you higher
Hit you higher
I dominate flows, I dominate shows
And, in the nighttime our dominance grows
And, you could see it from the posture I'm holding
Yo, I'm reein' up while the rest is folding
A hip hop cat who's flown world wide and
Experience, adventures like Poseidon
Bunk heads with R and B chicks
Give 'em one hit joints and they lookin' for the remix
The shit that I spit like plain clothes days
Surprised you legit make your whole team freeze
I'm so irregular, ear on the cellular
Let's celebrate 'cause your man is a hell of a
Fillin' the blank with a good thing to fill in
We hold it still 'cause we walkin' with still chance
Blindsided up in your own reality
While we in the heat of the moment, fuck morality
I really wanna see you rise to my joint ma
I'm lookin' straight don't see your eyes get my point ma
However you do it, I'm doing you back
Yo, don't misconstrue it, 'cause I'm screwing you back yo
Yo, rappers better count my presence as they down time
I gotta move around, don't have no fuck around time
So, you better just hold back to just ab-ab-abstract
Aiyo, higher
Take you higher
Hit you higher
Make you higher
Hit you higher
Uh, uh higher, higher
We gettin' higher
We gettin' higher
Yeah higher, higher
Yo, one more time, I don't know what to make of this
Funny brothers on my nerves type ridiculous
I guess I really gotta do it, put my game down
Holla game fuckin' blew it put my name down
And it seems you fucked up like a drug deal gone wrong
Makin' out a lot, you won't be that way long
Plus, y'all niggas is bush leaguers
And I bet y'all ain't gettin' no bush either
And I bet y'all ain't gettin' no a-hoop either
My comeback
Millzie I got you
Al-Doe
I don't know what the word pressure mean
Winter coming, we bring them furs out
Sky trip in the Aspen, we smoking girl scout
No service, money's my whole purpose
They talk to you, run down on em like why you nervous
They rap about guns homey, I'm rappin with the gun on me
Ask them niggas in Atlanta how we movin
You know the price, black Rubicon Rover white
Double box vacuum seal
We send the move at night
Ah, who your favorite again, who?
I'm probly on his playlist, raw cones I'm faded
We break Nobel, make fully regular
Spice market spin up, this way ahead of ya
Just me and my bitch
They seen this one we dippin by
Stumbling the kiss and fly
I really did whatever my pimp say
Rest in peace Vito, esperito Puente
And as I take another hit
I wonder if I could get any
And as I take another sip
I wonder if I could drift any
And as she takes another sniff
She prolly feel like she'll never get any
Kush got bitch
Ride
Straight out the trenches
Use to play the Benjies, the OGs showed interest
Real nigga Pedigree, not a blemish
Law of attraction rob off on anybody I link with
Uh, I'm blessed to be distinguished
Before you get that guy to think rich
Most these niggas on some think shit
It's my duty to get it
I'm truly the freshest, sliding hoes out of beauty in Essex
Why you stressin?
Block nigga, call him Tetris
Never left the hood, tryna tell me what success is
And just like the game appears
Everything you had lined up, you watch it disappear
And there go the pressure, creepin on yo ass
You call yourself tryna build but life is moving fast
And now you stackin as a nigga using dope
Sleep standing up but you really wide awoke
And as I take another hit
I wonder if I could get any
And as I take another sip
I wonder if I could drift any
And as she takes another sniff
She prolly feel like she'll never get any
Yo yo
Smoke something bitch
Uptown
All praises due to the father
You lil niggas service is fucked, step your bars up
Foreign boy, I'm too fly for a charging
Rubber band and Benjamins, rolling jelly jars up
Hard luck is all we had
Now it's lobster like we garliced up
Vegetable rice butter with partial cups
Halfway full cause we halfway gone
Repentin all of our sins cause for all we was wrong
But never regrettin shit, we sayin none of these songs
Short patience for sucka shit so I roll mine long
It's a work out to finish my blunts, I smoke that strong
And I love a Spanish girl that love her throat to be warm
McCall poke her over the block
I just supply the guap and let my nigga run the spot
I clean cut with visions and being filthy
To my daughter I'm daddy, to these rappers I'm father Millzie
Amen
And as I take another hit
I wonder if I could get any
And as I take another sip
I wonder if I could drift any
And as she takes another sniff
Keep your head up to the sky
That's what they say
That you won't know until until you try
ain't it funny that way?
It's all or nothing
Almost just won't do
The falls may break your heart
Tomorrow waits for you
Each day is a journey on a road that led my dreams
and a door that opens
has an end that I didn't need
Don't cry about the little things
They waste your time
Can't stop it
Every level, you have mountains to climb
Chorus:
You gotta go higher
The sky's too low
When you reach that moment
You will know
You gotta go higher
The sky's too low
When you reach that moment
You will know
(x 2)
Nothing stays forever
Still you save the best for last
It's now or never
So, don't you look back
Your friends for a lifetime
but life is just too short
Take time out to look around sometime
You only live once
Chorus (x 2)
It's not so much about the prize
as it is about the race
Cuz when you run with all your heart and soul
Doesn't matter where you place
Just a way to a crowning one
Everyday you'll see it through
No one else can write the story
How it ends is up,
How it ends is up to you
You gotta go higher
ohhhh
Chorus
You gotta go higher
When you reach that moment
You gotta go higher
When you reach that moment
Chorus
higher higher higher...
Been round n' round in circles
Tryn'a find the end
Bumped into this shy guy
while chill'n with my friends
He's eyen' me

Makes my body weak

[Verse 1:]
Everybody wants to find the one
Searching for that thing
(Just can't put a name on it)
It's a feeling you get when you know it's real
You feel - the pain go away
[Hook:]
Been down and out and then you built me up again
You lifted me so high
I never wanna let go
You put that thing on me
Someone expecting me
I know I'll be okay
'Cause
[Chorus:]
It happened one day
You took me away
Took me higher, higher, higher
And alI can say
You sweat me away
Took me higher, higher
Where I've never been before
[Verse 2:]

So good that you just can't live without it (No)
Got cha head over heels 'cause he's so into you
Caught up in fallin'
[Hook]
He rescued me and then (Yes he did) we became more then friends (Yes we did)
He [?] off my feet (I can't belive it)
My knees get weak
It feels so good and [?]
Can't get you off my mind
I know I'll be okay (I'll be okay)
'Cause it'll happen one day
[Chorus x2]
[x12:]
Where I've never been before
[Chorus x2]
[Outro:]
Show me
Show me love
I said you show me love
I can't stay where I am,
got to go higher, higher in Him.
Heaven is the master plan,
got to go higher, higher in Him.
I can't stay where I am,
got to go higher, higher in Him.
Until I reach that holy land,
got to go higher, higher in Him.

[Music & Lyrics by S. Guadagnoli]
Stand what you stand for,
I know you'll cross the line
More give some more to life
And keep it rising high
Hold on...
So this time I know my self right, I know my self well
I know my self
Drop the funk drop the bass yo
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I just can get it
Right,
Higher (so high to me)
And leave my hardtimes far behind
Higher (so high to me) and let the past dust flow away
So what about the passion,
Leaving the goodtimes into the badtimes
Gotta be strong to get out of it
I've been thru so many stuff that hurts I swear
Troubles melt with my life, handle my time,
Doing my best, that's what I want-
So this time I know my self right...
[Chorus]
Words don't come easy I know, Y... don't come over
I would let U see my mind like a DVD movie's frame
Words don't come easy I know, Y... don't come over
I'm just about to tell your love that I'm feeling it
HIGHER
VERSE ONE:
Chimaroke Abuachi -
Commands pushing at speeds they can’t touch this weight
that collapse cushioning is I Adjust
Moving like the final wave is like a rush
To giant heads, like David’s slingshot to hush
Unbearable phases but we can’t corrupt torrential rain
is here to bring out the bug
Everything that’s happening here involves us
That why where going higher to view it from above
And when we reach that point we'll paint it with a
brush
With colors that reveal all the reasons why we fuss
Reasons why we fight, reasons why we shove
Reasons why we hide, reasons why we tug
So when we descend back, we'll show them that there’s
much
Much work to do, even for the toughI’ve been there and
back, for the future we can try
I say we can do it with love
CHORUS:
Go High!
Go higher!
And release these chains! Can’t hold me down,
Do you see these wings?
VERSE TWO
Mark Hoy (Distortion)
Don’t blink you’ll miss the rate we evolve
And all of them compress weight test my resolve
Break down barriers these walls dissolve
Leaving nothing but the open air for my freefall
We are, reach all or take none
Refine our resource to reach sun
Begun to breach past the barriers see past nefarious
obstacles are
Pieces of the puzzle I align to learn the lesson
And every step that I take in progression toward
perfection
Is the essence
Unlocked and true
We keep an open mind to release aptitude
I surpass through, any and all forsake glory
Never look back, the path is before me
Pages of my past become my story
Wings break through chains aiming for me to go high
Chorus:
Head to the sky foot on the flyer chasen' these dreams fillin' these
desires, put me to the ground, I rise from the fire, but now let's take it
higher. / ups and the downs to all these things, day by day its just me
and the team, roll the dice of life and watch what we acquire, but now
let's take it higher
Verse 1:
The story of a cory with a vision... Optimistic kickin with an optimo
addition minus the collision as he enters a division of dreams hope and
wishes supreme floats and dishin' scouters round the gates for those In
need of a plate , pins to the grown try and pin your mistakes. Its
straight to the bottom trying' Place it in the paste, I know it takes time
but how long will it take then you get to reminicen' all the rain pours to

Verse 2:
Time to let your thoughts run , top gun yet my minds strung , on where
I go from here hit the gas and persevere no reherisin' reversion' just
elevation' , tired of all the wait consideration and debating' I'm ready to
do it big on my Madison square , yet still remain humble as a madison
square , they try to shoot you down as if a matter was there but I guess
the fact of success is one of they biggest fears , but I could never
change my pivot , too many late night dreams too many seasons
passed and time to relax , too much time to develop and get to this
position where half of lifes' surreal and the others realistic ,
Planes about to depart and some of em' nearly missed it , while the
other halfs first class seat back straight kicking' it,

Bless the day that
You walked into my life
Cause I was lost before you
By your side I wanna do right
Love you girl for the rest of my life
(leave it all just for you)
You opened up my eyes
To things that I never ever seen before
You took the darkness away
I can see clearly now
The rain is gone I'm above the clouds
I'm looking at life in a different way (different way)
You take me higher (higher)
Then I've ever been before
Baby don't let go
Cause you take me away
Baby see my love
Is for you and only you baby
You take me to a better place
I'm floating
Cause your love's got me focus (focus)
These words come straight from my heart (straight from my heart)
The connection that we share
Nothing in this world could ever compare
I felt it from the start
When it's just you and I
I know the limit is the sky
I'm so glad that you're mine
We can go see the world
Cause you're my favourite girl
Do you hear these words (do you hear these words)
You take me higher (higher)
Then I've ever been before
Baby don't let go
Cause you take me away

Jesus Your name
Is more than a name
It's giving me hope
It's giving me life
Jesus Your name be lifted high
No other name but Jesus is
Your name is higher, is higher

Jesus your life
Poured out for all
Ransomed my heart
And rescued my soul
King over all coming again
Death could not hold you
Forever you reign. You reign
Nails couldn't You down
The grave couldn't keep You in
Hell couldn't keep You out
You reign, You reign
Whoa... Whoa...
When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
I was waiting on the 6a.m. Catch a train down to see a
man about a dog.
I tell ye man if I arrive late, I might as well just have
stayed in bed. Ooh should have stayed in bed.
I was only trying to get us higher (higher).
You're always trying to steal my fire (fire).
Always trying to make me a liar (liar).
Only trying to get us higher.
I've been down town so many times. Smoking weed can't be
such a crime.
I've had to face the man in the high court. He tries to
tell me what my life is worth.
What my life is worth.
I was only trying to get us higher (higher).
You're always trying to steal my fire (fire).
Always trying to make me a liar (liar).
Only trying to get us higher.
Ooh should have stayed in bed.
I was only trying to get us higher (higher).
You're always trying to steal my fire (fire).
Always trying to make me a liar (liar).
Only trying to get us higher.
Only trying to get us higher.
Only trying to get us, only trying to get us higher,
I was lost among my thoughts
Trying to find a way to hide
I wish that I could never see
All the truth behind the lies
Is there anyone who could tell me
All the words I would like hear?
And here you are
By my side
Now I can feel the taste
The taste of not being alone
My thoughts have taken me away
To the place where I belong
Higher than any cloud could be
It's my first time now
Maybe I will see
And here you are
By my side
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Will you let the rain fall and bring...
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Can I really trust myself?
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Will you let the rain fall and bring...
Your light on me
And I have heard what you told me
My world have changed with one world
Everything I thought I have lost
I thought that one night is all that I would need
to get you off my mind, and I'd be free
but you come creepin' back to the deepest part of me
you know I thought that,
one night in my arms is what you'd get
wash out the pain and the regret
the only way that it would happen's if you let
me get a little bit higher,
soaring through the cloud like a bird yeah
little bit softer,
listen to the words I say
You are the one that slipped away
sorry if this is too delayed
I'll get you back one day
Holding on to maybe
I tried one kiss from another set of lips
sweet cabernet just take a sip
in comparison to her oh you eclipse
get a little bit higher,
soaring through the cloud like a bird yeah
little bit softer,
listen to the words I say
You are the one that slipped away
sorry if this is too delayed
I'll get you back one day
Holding on to maybe
let love come raining on our souls
only one is you that I chose
breathless, I'm out of words to say
You are the one that slipped away,
sorry if this is too delayed
get a little bit higher,
soaring through the cloud like a bird yeah
little bit softer,
listen to the words I say
You are the one that slipped away
sorry if this is too delayed
I'll get you back one day
Holding on to maybe
For unto us a Saviour came
Amazing grace that takes the weight
His name is hope for all the earth
His name now and beyond this life
God with us
And You shall be called Almighty God
And we shall declare
Now rocking with the best
Just Blaze, power, digits
About that
Turn my music high, high, high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high
Turn my music
Turn my music
Turn my music
Turn my music
Uh, f*ck her
Uh, f*ck her
Ever
Turn my music high, high, high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high
Turn my music
Turn my music
Turn my music
Turn my music
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Turn my music
Turn my music
Turn my music
Higher
Oh, oh, b*tches
High, f*ck up
Higher! Oh, oh, f*ck up
we had this all planned outtightened our grip
are we fools? are we fools?
failed and torn apart
the ballroom dance is over we can set our masks down
standing on the ledge its okay to come down
we said forever
tried to take this higher, higher
everything's on the line
fields of dreams inside out
we are fools we are fools
tried too hard tried too little
the ballroom dance is over we can set our masks down
standing on the ledge its okay to come down
we said forever
tried to take this higher, higher
failed and died
we fell apart
we said forever
Rise, rise to the skiesSun is in your eyes, don't be
afraid to fly
Try, we try to survive
Day fades into night, the city breathes alive
I would like to invite you
To cut the static and get this over
I would like to excite you
It's automatic to me
You take me high
You take me higher than I've ever been
Dreaming, waking, sinking to disintegration
Drowning, aching, seeking your consideration
Fly by the city lights
Skies are open wide, nobody else in sight
Why, why do you hide
Time is on our side, stay with me tonight
Try to say it but I'm so afraid
I try to fight it but it gets me nowhere
The best things are not guaranteed
It's so tragic to me
Dreaming, waking, sinking to disintegration
Drowning, aching, seeking your consideration
Dreaming, waking, sinking to disintegration
There is no one there is no one like You
no one like you
in heaven or on earth
only good things can ever come from you
even your judgment
is righteous and true
Your Name is sweeter than the rain that falls upon
the face of dry and weary land
and causes us to turn our face again
Your Name be praised
and be lifted higher
There is no one...
With every morning there are mercies new
Your kindness
brings us back to you
Your name is stronger than the pain
it's covering the shame of all these weary hands
and causing us to turn our face again
Dark day crowning
Screaming, chanting
Sounding in My ear
Pounding, driving
Ringing, stinging
Take My thoughts away
To a brighter place
Chorus:
Higher, higher
Than the pain that I feel
Take Me
Higher, higher
Let Your holy love reveal
And plunge Me
Deeper, deeper
Than these nails can drive Me
Take Me
Higher, higher, Father
Children laughing
And Lepers healing
In the waters of sweet forgiveness
Jordon, Galilee
The lame are walking
By the shining sea
Oh take Me
Chorus:
Higher, higher
Than the pain that I feel
Lift Me
Higher, higher
Let Your holy love reveal
And plunge Me
Deeper, oh deeper
Than these nails can drive Me
Take Me
Higher, higher,
Father And plunge Me deeper, oh deeper
Than these nails can drive Me
Take Me higher, higher
Can You hear me, hear the sound of My pain
Here I go now, Im keeping my eyes open don't you let me down.
Nothing can stop me now, I know you hear this sound. Go ahead and let it out, dont be afraid to fly, fly high, reaches past the sky
Here we go let it flow, spread your wings and fly, you never known till you let it go, going up, up, up, up

No time for looking back, I dream and thats a fact, Im only going higher higher, higher

I will give you what you need -

I'm the one who takes control
In the middle of night.
My heart is cold my body's hot
Don't you feel no fright?
Hold your breath, give me your fire
We are going higher and higher!
And higher we go - you and me now and forever
All I know - we just have to be together
Forget who you are just give me your heart
Baby and your love
Midnight lady, come as you are -
I'm doing nothing,
'Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong.
And I'm gonna stay in on my own
And turn off my telephone,
If nothing's gained then nothing's won.
And you can tell them,
Yeah you can say whatever I don't care (yeah-yeah).
Then if you wanna play it cool then I got news for you
It's getting hotter, hotter in here.
So when I speak listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words. (Oh-oh-oh)
So when I speak listen
'Cause you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard. (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna lift to lift it higher,
I'm gonna lift to lift it higher.
So when I speak listen this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words.
I'm getting closer (closer, closer).
I'm moving into there, and I think you know.
'Cause I am sick of playing games
And I'm not gon' say no names
But you and I know who to blame.
So you can tell them,
Yeah you can go ahead and put it straight.
'Cause I am finishing myself, and I do not need your help
I'm gonna do this do it right.
So when I speak listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words. (Oh-oh-oh)
So when I speak listen
'Cause you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard. (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna lift to lift it higher,
I'm gonna lift to lift it higher.
So when I speak listen this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words.
I'm gonna lift to lift it.
When you go higher, I go higher.
I'm gonna lift to lift it.
Yeah you can try but I'll go higher.
I'm gonna lift to lift it.
The only thing boy, all that you can do is listen,
So listen ...

So when I speak listen
This is my decision (Yeah-ei-yeah)
And you keep on messing up the words. (Oh-oh-oh)
