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

Baby lives off of Hollywood vine
Her head got her off her feet
She's been strung out since the age of nine
Her head got her off the street
She's a HIV VIP, she's a

Yes I will

We made the headlines

Now she's made it big
My black beauty
Lizzy flipped her lid
She got me thrown in jail
My black beauty
She's still up for sale
Her head got her off her feet
Her head got her off 'da street

Oh when I look around me
This old world seems so troubled to me
* Does no one see
The beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now (sometimes)
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah
(You know) It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart, give a little love
love, love, love, love
(*Repeat)
**It troubles my mind
These troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
(**Repeat and fade)
[Intro: N.O.R.E. (Raekwon)]
(Yeah) Yeah, Shallah Raekwon
It's the God Father Pt. 2, Self esteem
(Lex Diamond) Plus degree, (Uh huh)
(Raekwon) Add on to my attribute
(Star H.M.G., Get money baby, Let's Go)
[N.O.R.E.:]
Ayo, Peace Lord, Peace to the God, You know today's math
I know today's lab, Bag it in a grey bag
Straight coke is optional, Jungle gym obstacle
You get locked, You get dead, Or end up in the hospital
Dapper Dan, Gucci, Valore shit, And more shit
Both hands is numb as fuck, Bag'n all the numbers up
Queen's niggas Mosalium, Jewy from the Coliseum
Fat Cat, Pappy Mason, Niggas wanna be em
See rap was secondary, Money was necessary
Until I got incarcerated, Type scary
Until I see my life just flash, Type scary
Ninety-six came home, Ninety-seven album
Made niggas proud to be from New York housing
Born alone die alone, I ain't got a pot to piss in
Became friends with baking soda, Arm & Hammer craziness
Started learning cooking up, Cooking up, Cooking up
Nose feeling like it's high, Door open windows up
Out of state money was coming great, We sold weight
Another scramble, Commonwealth Law gamble
We out touring, Leave the hood now the hood boring
Niggas still doubting my greatness, My great shift
Learn ambidextrous ways and trade spaces
Nike's no Asic's, No Botox, No face lifts
Rich niggas, Poor niggas, Ya'll should switch places
Learn how it feels to be living broke with no hope
Learn how it feels to be living rich with mad shit
[Raekwon:]
Yo, The software license is great, Better six
Flip the new five or roll up, Then live through the tape
Straight from the dungeons of Hell, A lot of Vikings
Some couldn't sell, That's when I took it for self
I'm only just nineteen rolling with eight, Individuals
Most of us rob, Pulling guns, This is my gate
Four shottys, Two lasers a plate, Chewing
Start a movement, Keep doing what your doing
Niggas are straight, We like Shar Pei in prestigious face
Love diamond rings and apes, Big money, Coffees and tapes
Play'n, You get sprayed in the lake
Hog tied and scraped, Chop fingers off you and skate
That's the breaks, Wipe body S's, Escovitch fish
With a Spanish blessing?, The more I make
Live through the babies, Busting my gun for sure
This is Paidees, Somebody gotta die today B
Rosй pouring, The hardwood floor, Incents
The crisp three-eighties, Gallons of French shit
Pour more my niggas, Eat up, This is like peanuts
Catch us in cells somebody beat up
With only one class, A piece of hash, Tiny bit of reefer
Fresh sneakers, Stressing for ass
Write mad letters in slabs, Niggas'll be home shortly
Keep cool, The niggas get bagged
We live a poor life, Rich in the heart, Kitchens is dark
Cooking white, Polices, Bitches, And narqs
Foul play yo, Big guns and cigar
The message repent them sins, Quick fast then mention Allah
[Joell Ortiz:]
No friendships when my pen twist, They lose interest in your mention
My entrance was smooth but it can shift to anger
Bag ya, I'll rearrange ya, Stranger, Danger
I embrace well, Joel don't take L's
I take pain pills for them migraines
This wild game put me in a whole different mind frame
Define lame, Okay, It's rat, That's the proper answer
Besides a couple cats it's just a whole lot of dancers
Well I'm a be the cancer see this swagger shit is dumb
What good is looking fly if you rapping like a bum
I'm immaculate it's fun, What you chat'n from your gums
Is bullshit, But that's okay the matador has come
I navigate a track and make you armatures a crumb
I'm magic with the tongue, Abra Cadabra and you done
I don't know what kind of comic book you characters is from
I know a place
Where the visitor always stays
Beauty runs 'em down
When they chance to cross that way
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the (strain)
Out on that plain
It's anybody's fault
Open up your heart
In pours the salt
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the strain
Open up your mind,
In pours the trash
Open up your mouth
And the lightning starts to flash
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I feel the strain
Through the night, hear the strain
In a minute dear, in a whole second, it? ll come clear
Do you see beauty, do you see love
Right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
Do you see beauty, do you see love
In the morning light you lay by my side
In the evening it gets so your love begins to shine
The world is changing but my love will remain
Do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
Theres a love that never comes back down
It feels like something is gonna happen now
Love it calls your name no matter how you try
And I can? t recall a time when I didn? t love you
Do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
In all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can? t hide it anymore x2
Love, love, love
Love is what you keep
So you think life should be gay
But You're wasting your times away
Now you see me standing here and I say I'm down
So you think it would be easy to play
Have a little warm-up hear me today
Drop your sorrow down into a deep frying pan.
Fry'em down.
Refrain:
Put away your make-up
Then you'll see we fake it all up.
I know all your stories
Never did they bore me more
Beauty of a million years may die
So I think that all my thinking's enough
Thanksgiving Yeah giving away presents
Presents freedom
And in a way I feel great 'cause I give it
Away but I'm still down.
Refrain
Turning round your headsharks is making me sick
And I'm puking while I'm wandering around
In the feelds filled up and happy for relief
I'm turning and falling to the ground to the leafs
That smell I love is humid in the air and I'm feeling
The decay with a bitch in my chair with a whore in
My head with my lady in my heart I start disintegrating
The need to dream
Makes it easy to provide
A package to fulfill life
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Plastic smiles
Just the perfect fantasy
Cling on to illusions of industry dream
Your body, your beauty will fade
Fit the pieces, adjust the smiles
You will try, try, try, try
To fit in, to fit in for the perfect li(f)e
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
Give me beauty or give me death
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Give me a body forever young
Give me a fulfillment of fitness
Give me the answers to my search
Give me beauty or give me death
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
Woke up with beauty in my bed
And isn't it sad
How we don't know it's beauty until it's dead
And it's beauty that I knew so well
But she wasn't doing too well
Well
I just wanna go some place
Where no one knows my name
And I don't have to explain
No I don't have to retain that I
Lie to myself
Or protect myself
For the benefit of myself
I want power in my words
I want passion in my eyes
And when I wake up
I want life to be a surprise
And I guess that I didn't know it
All along
And I guess that I never guessed
that I'd ever guess wrong
(Guess wrong)
And I set myself up everytime you leave
(Everytime you leave)
To destroy the things I've got
For the things I need
Each conversation separate from themselves
Separates good from bad
And they never want what you've got
Until it's up for grabs
And then they want what you have
They want what you have
Well I just wanna go someplace
Where no one knows my face
And I don't have to explain
And no, I don't have to retain
That I lie to myself
That I protect myself
For the benefit of myself
Well, I want power in my words
I want passion in my eyes
And when I wake up
I want life to be a surprise
And I guess that I didn't know it all along
And I'll never guess that
I'd ever go ahead
And guess wrong
(Guess wrong)
And I set myself up everytime you leave
(Every time you leave)
To deny the things I love
For the things I need
For the things I need
I want to break through
To break through
Oh, I want one thing
I've wanted
To come through
Oh, to come true
I want passion in my eyes
I want power in my words
And when I wake up
I want life to be a surprise
And I never thought
That I'd wake up
And be starving for you
No, I never thought
That I'd wake up and I'd be hungry
I'm hungry
For you
To break through to break through
I want one thing I wanted to come through
Ah, to come true
I want power in my words
I want passion in my eyes
And when I wake up
I want life to be a surprise
And I guess that I didn't know it all along
And I'll never guess that
I'd ever go ahead and guess wrong
Oh, I want to break through
To break through
I want one thing I've dreamed for to come true
To come through
Oh, I set myself up
Every time you leave
To destroy the things I've got
For the things I need
To destroy the things I love
Unseen far beyond the reach of my hands
slightly noticed on the border of my thoughts
but I can see you with the eyes of my imagination
I know the taste and smell of your body
smell of your body
pleasure of your body
I'm listening to the sound of your call
I'm standing naked in front of the perfect thought
I'm looking for you with all my heart
the sensible journey into the pleasure of your body
your smell unleashes my senses
your taste makes my heart wild
your passion embraces
your look gives me splendour
I'm dying once more that night
Sorry, didn't notice you there
But then again you didn't notice me
So we'll remain passers by
Until the next time we speak
I hope that I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
It didn't take much time to think about
But I didn't want to move too fast
Cuz I knew that when I saw you again
That I wouldn't wanna let you pass
Cuz my eyes have seen the glory
In the coming of your smile
So I swear if you ever come 'round again
Please stay for a while
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear that we'll never be apart
You are so beautiful
When I'm down and out
I never seem to get tired
Tired of your love
Cuz you are wonderful
You're wonderful
I'm just dying to make you see
Anything you want inside your heart
You can find right here inside of me
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
The first time that I saw you
There was sunshine in your eyes
All the people stared in wonder
You sent shivers down my spine
With your skin so soft and tender
And your hair just like the sea
I lost control of all my feelings
And these words came out of me
Beauty came to town today, yeah
The last time that I saw you
Your lips curved in a smile
Made the day seem more inviting
Made my life seem more worthwhile
Then beauty shot it's arrow
And it pierced right through my heart
On it's tip there was a message
Yes, I will read it from the start
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Beauty came to town today
Words cannot explain it's so worthwhile
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
Beauty came to town today
Words cannot explain it's so worthwhile
Beauty came to town today
Why she didn't stay, I don't know
time of decadence and time of despair, spaces
between us and voids filling her, turning into piles of
hatred and fear, she settled the score and now she is
here, facing Him: “take those pictures down, fill the
walls behind with living colors, drown them in light.
for i’m ready now, my heart’s broken now, my
shoulders are weary, my mind‘s numb!” hasting
towards her -, straight love opens hearts, people
called into life, fellowship in light; moving folks of
night, is what He yearns to do. with those cold walls
torn into pieces instead of painting them nice and
warm; He just loves to see you can handle liberty and
she understands love is really free: “got my fever down,
feet back on the ground, blind eyes open to see. this
grace’s larger than our life can be, standing tall on my
knees.” free – let’s shout to the world, this liberty is
life’s gift to the cold! free - we shout to the world:
“these bleeding hands are for you!
All your beauty is hard to explain
Dancing shadows and light on your face
Every kiss in the world
Wouldn't make you feel better
What a pity to paint in your lines
Nothing's in me that's worth one more rhyme
Could it be that were both just
Slaves to the weather?
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Maybe Martha was right when she said
"Beauty colors the face of the dead"
It made me wish we were back in
Our beds sleeping soundly, our cheeks blushing red
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
I'll go where you are
'Cause every tear your silly eye bleeds
Well, never fear, you never may see worse than this
I want to find a beautiful place
But maybe I forgot about today now, here
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Beauty, where to find it?
Can't be far
Beauty, where you hiding?
Tell me, I'll go where you are
“Beauty”
[Vs 1]:
Could you be… exactly what I need?
Someone who’s spiritual & holy
Compatible with me.
You see I --- never felt real love before
That’s Deeper than the ocean shore
There’s so much beauty in disguise
Now I’ve realized
I need to find my…
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
(Repeat)
[Vs 2]:
I’ve been praying for sunshine, I’ve seen a lot of rain
The only prescription is Love, to take away the pain
Why do I keep knocking on the door?
I’m searching for you more and more
There’so much beauty in disguise
And all this time, you’ve been right by my side
You’ve been by my side, all this time
Oohhh woaahh
I finally found my…
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
(Repeat)
[Bridge]:
What I found here is complete
I found enough in your love
The closest thing to me …
Next to God above
(Repeat)
[Hook]:
Spiritual Beauty
Pure & Holy
Full of Dignity
All I wanna see
Your Heart & your soul
That’s all I wanna know
You’re beautiful
You’re Beautiful
Could it be Your arm is long
Long enough to reach even, even me
Could it be Your well is deep
Deep enough for me to save me, maybe
Beauty draws me
Beauty draws me
If I don't believe then why do I seek for
As if You were missing
And for the love and beauty that's beneath
what I can see
Sometimes the face of a girl
The dreams I've seen and the songs that
yearn
Tell me that mystery and majesty are
drawing me
Sometimes when I get real
The greatest presence I can feel
It's like a fire inside that burns me deep
Someday never comes
Someday
Someday never comes for me
Beauty unbounded lies in your mind
It shines in your face and speaks through your eyes
Sour still the memories of past words and fears
Clouds thich the joy of happier years
Sorrow unmeasured runs through your frame
Pulling you down and taking your strength
Sorrow unmeasured runs through your frame
Pulling you down and taking your strength
Stars in your eyes and dreams in your heart
Are almost in reach yet a little too far
Lines tally themselves at my eyes
A gift of time and years of laughter
My age is my virtue
My lips a little crooked when they slide in a smile
Give me kisses to remember
Perfect in my imperfection
Don’t change me, no
Don’t save me,
I’m just fine
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
A few too many freckles at the tip of my nose
I’m not the perfect zero
But my curves are my virtue
I’ve got no secrets, I’ll bare my soul
Nothing to hide when a heart is open, oh
I am more than my reflection
We’re all searching for ourselves
Standing before our own eyes
Begging to be noticed
Snowflakes aren’t formed in a mold
Flowers don’t choose their shades
And butterflies don’t paint their wings
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
You told me
I should be younger, I should be thinner
Brighter, lighter, taller, softer, smaller
Hello world, here I am today
I didn't feel like putting in makeup, is that okay?
And you know what else
I didn't do my hair and I didn't take the time gto figure out
What to wear
Cause I know who I am, underneath
And I'm not afraid to show you, what's inside of me
(chorus)
Beauty is in you
You don't have to make it, you don't have to fake it
Beauty is in you
So just embrace it, you don't have to chase it
Hello world, yeah it's me again
I'm tired of fighting and always trying to fit in
Cause you're way too loud
You're always in my ear
Telling me I'm not okay but I just don't care
Cause I like who I am, underneath
And there is so much more to me, than what you see
(chorus)
You're more than your size
You're more than your smile
You're more than the things that you try to hide
You're more than your scars
You're more than your fears
You're beautiful, beautiful
And it won't disappear
All your beauty is hard to explain, dancing shadows and light on your face
Every kiss in the world wouldn't make you feel better
What a pity to paint in your lines
Nothing's in me that's worth one more rhyme
Could it be that we're both just slaves to the weather
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are, oh oh
Maybe Martha was right when she said
Beauty colors the face of the dead
It made me wish we were back in our beds sleeping soundly
Our cheeks blushing red
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
I'll go where you are
'Cause every tear your silly eye bleeds
Well, never fear, you never may see worse than this
I want to find a beautiful place
But maybe I forgot about today, now, here
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
Beauty, where to find it
Can't be far
Beauty, where you're hiding
Tell me, I'll go where you are
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
in the morning light you lay by my side
in the evening it gets so your love begins to shine
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
theres a love that never comes back down
it feels like something is gonna happen now
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
love it calls your name no matter how you try
and I can't recall a time when I didn't love you
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
love, love, love
love is what you keep
So you've come to this bridge
In an unfamiliar land
You know it's a bridge you are going to walk on
And the only thing you know is
Everything you know
Will do you no good from here on
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you out there
So pick up your bags
Look around at your friends
And you know none of them
Would ever have enough strength
To cross the bridge and lose control
I never felt this bold
Never felt this good
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you
Stay true to your nomad skies
Keep your eyes out for coyote
A thousand secrets are lost
In the archival dust
So lay your ears upon the tracks
One day you will come back
With wrinkled hands and grey hair
And there you will stand on the spot
And you'll marvel how the place is still the same
Though you are somebody else now
Fly on butterfly
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
Ooh, yeah
Yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep em
You can have the prettiest skin, prettiest eyes
Prettiest smile with the thickest thighs
And a sex apply but that don't mean a thing to me
'Cuz without honesty or loyalty
You can only be a common enemy
That's why beauty can get 'em
But sure can't keep 'em
(Beauty can get 'em but it sure can't keep 'em)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
It's a plus but it don't mean nothin' though
Without a good heart what good are you to me?
Only impressed by the things you see
SUVs with TVs, expensive clothes and accesories
If it looks good to you, don't mean that it's good for you
All you need is real love, nowadays it's hard to find
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(See my mama told me the came exact words)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
Ooh, will you, will you stay by me, girl
If I lost all my money?
Will you be there even when things go down?
Ooh, yea, yea, yea
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
If I need somebody [unverified] I'll just open up a magazine
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
What's the use of lookin' at ya
When you can't do nuttin' for me?
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(Sure can't keep 'em)
Beauty can get 'em
But it sure can't keep 'em
(Sure can't keep)
(Yea, woah)
You can be the most finest thing on the outside
But the ugliest in the inside
Feel me [unverified] aight
(Beauty)
See to you
Beauty is a harlot
She will dance with any bastard
She's undiscerning in her choice of partners
I could have her of course, if I wished
But I object to her promiscuousness
Beauty just doesn't suit me
For...
Beauty is a harlot
An easy lane for lazy artists
I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm
It is the easiest trick in the book
Music's the worm and beauty's the hook
And I'm sure you would swallow her whole
But I'm not here to satisfy souls
For...
Beauty is a siren
Trying to draw me from my chosen mission
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
On principle, I refuse to be party to her abuse
It is not my job to squat in the gutter
Sharing the teat with you beauty-drunk suckers
You paid to see satire and rage
I swear I won't let beauty set foot on this stage
For...
Beauty is a harlot
A spotlight-hogging, superficial starlet
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you
Tear-streaked when the lights come on
You look around to find her gone
And despite your size, you've not a clue
That as you fell for her, she stole from you
For...
Beauty is harlot
She will lie with any two-bit artist
And for all those other bloody bastards
She seems to come so easily
But she comes so hard
Never been the kind that the world defined as being some trendy, top, super model
Never been the one you could call a swan even though my mama said that they oughtta
So say a prayer for the girl with the hand me downs and the pig tails in her
One for me, one for you cause we never knew that God don't even care
If you've got the walk and ain't got the talk
And ain't got the stuff that they dream dream of
Cause there'll be a beautiful day
Cause I... I, I'm gonna be a beauty!
I'm gonna see God y'all, and I'm gonna be a beauty!
Tell me you believe it
I'm a long way from home but I'm passing through
Seem like everything is so artificial
Cause everything that we see in the magazines or even on TV is so superficial
It's like a virus, I can't describe it, how shallow we can be
We say true beauty comes from the inside but all that we can see
She's got the walk - he's got the talk
And they've got the stuff the world dreams of
But there will be a beautiful day...
Cause I... I, I'm gonna be a beauty!
I'm gonna see God y'all, and I'm gonna be a beauty!
Tell me you believe it
What you see ain't what you get
Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet
What they see ain't who you are
Cause you're gonna be a shining star.
Cause I... I, I'm gonna be a beauty!
I'm gonna see God y'all, and I'm gonna be a beauty!
Verse 1:
Calm..
Like an ocean,
Black..
Is my notion.
Bring me to life
with a stab
from that knife,
and you see what?
I bet your life
you are a fucking slut!
Chorus:
Darkness..
Pretty little girl,
So called beauty,
Makes me wanna hurl!
Here are my words,
Cold as a snowman,
Wandering here,
Just like a nomad!
Verse 2:
I held you close,
just like your fucking father,
you lied to me, bitch,
Why do I even bother?
I take my girls,
Just like I take my life:
(No music, woman says this:)
"Screw me like a man,
And slice me with a knife!"
(Chorus x 2)
repeat verse 1
repeat chorus
repeat verse 2
Fade with chorus
Ba-dum
Rise and swallowed you whole
Ba-dum
And I was no longer whole
Ba-dum
A simple singer inside
Ba-dum
And we slow-danced alone
Ba-dum
You smiled somewhere
Ba-dum
And our lives changed
Ba-dum
I found I could share
Ba-dum
The things I never could say
Some day
You will find me
Ba-dum
And I'll follow you
Unless
Together we'll be
Ba-dum
We'll ride across the blue
Don't run
Though I'd run anywhere
Ba-dum
For this love of ours
At peace
Shining silver rain
Ba-dum
I'll join you in the songs
Ba-dum
I will find you
Ba-dum
I will find you
Ba-dum
Don't [?] share
Ba-dum
Met your [?]
Ba-dum
I will find you
Ba-dum
Say what you'll do
Do what you say
Nobody can touch you now
It's a feeling all your own
Stop where you are
I see that look in your eyes
You need to be indoctrinated
With everything that you despise
They're never knowing
As far as it's going everything's ok
They treat you fine as long as you stay in line
But the noose closes in
See how they run
Is that you in the crowd
With the boot on your neck
Face pressed to the ground
Take a seat over there
Someone will be with you soon
To help erase every memory
That you ever held sacred and true
Something is missing
You find yourself wishing
For the means to an end
You know it's not right
So you take to the right
To release what's held within
Funny how these things
All seem like nightmares
I think that we'll be laughing
About them soon
The doors of Humankind
Are slamming on your fingers
Climb the golden ladder
Past the moon (way past)
For me to endure
Your expectations
I tell you that they're twisted
And all wrong
Heading for the storm
Wash it all away
Get it straight you know
It won't be long
All your petty grievances
Selfish greedy ways
Gonna' climb the golden ladder
Like a candle softly lights the room
a warm trail of shadows
whispers on you like a
rainbow soars across the sky
so is the glow in your eyes
and it comes from inside your
Beauty, beauty from your heart
rains beauty the love you gave
is beauty you make me feel
so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
so beautiful
It's not easy to come by
and it's hard cuz you can't see it from the outside
but when it comes you will know
and time will show
that's it's more than an outer frame
You know it when you look it into their eyes
and you see all the beauty that's inside
and you realize just how beautiful
Like a long walk on the beach
like a warm and cool breeze
like a bird when it spreads it's wings
so much beauty like rain on a summer day
[-VERSE 1-]
Well it's the rap beautician
The facts you listen
I blast through rhythms like hash through your system
True in love and wisdom
Well off and witty
Using God's sleeve to wipe the hell off the city
See my elegance, dining on the periodic tablecloth of elements
The universe designs my intelligence
Drop science down a bottomless pit
Run swift do a handstand on pyramid tips
The sun splits the waterfront causing prismatic effects
Butterflies come alive to have sex
Birds fly out of a top hat slow
To join the brilliance of wilderness and soar through the Congo
Speed the convo through colors and shapes
My word choice is turquoise I love to create
My art hurdles over the clouds of dark purple
Red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles
Paint splashes over your conscious like canvas
Colors jump out of the body to form branches
Psychedelic images flash like avalanches
Illustrate skill with the quill to build stanzas
I use pens like hallucinogens
So who can pretend, my music ain't a beautiful thing
A suit of a king
Deserving of the jewels and the rings
That only flatters my appearance like the tulips in spring
I'm cool with the gods, I could never use the facade
Of a musician to celebrate hate and abuse women
The beautician is back, Humble Magnificent wizard of rap
Throwing tuxedos on the wax
[-VERSE 2-]
The numbers they fall off the clock midnight
At the museum an apple is stolen out of a still life
You see 'em, stand by the mirror with no reflection
A point five appears on your shirt for half stepping
Scientists explain that they no longer know things
A dog takes a shit on the floor and grows wings
Planets of the solar system now trade places
Statues of national fame become faceless
Great lakes evaporate and leave no traces
The man with the moustache reveals the three aces
Briefcases open to expose sheet music
The thief hears the piece performed and weeps to it
Master violinist plays the solo one-handed
The notes on the page become ants that run frantic
Slowly the symphony dissolves into noise
The baron with the glass eye sweats and loses poise
A scene is made, the cheese brigade is summoned
The man in the mask walks fast and starts running
An officer fires a pistol in black apparel
But instead a lead red rose grows from out the barrel
The criminal escapes through a disappearing door marked "Beauty"
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls
You are jewels more precious than diamonds and pearls
And anyone who tells you otherwise is doin it to compromise
Their broken lives by telling lies to keep you down from flyin high
Up into the skies, to hell with their opinion
Calculated ignorance is blurrin their vision
Decisions made by fools, put yourself in their position
With the knowledge it's their mission to keep you locked in prison
[Chorus:]
Realize real beauty lies inside of the soul
And real eyes know that's the only place to go
And the real lies told by the ones who sold your soul
I you're beautiful (you're beautiful) you're beautiful (you're beautiful)
[x2]
Ladies and Gentlemen, silicone or plastic
Flesh and bone are driven out by measures that are drastic
As age takes it's toll it's our goal to attack it
Flaws and imperfections? Shiiiiiit, burn em off or mask it
Ask yourself why we're putting on facades
Like Ali said we're fingerprints of God
Not flawed, just different, that's to be embraced
The future arrives and we've all got the same face
Cause it's in our nature to want to keep pace
With goals and desires of the whole human race
The thing of it is every single course is different
We're showin our kids it's not OK to be different
When daddy gets a paid-for-tan and mommy gets her breast implants
Just to achieve definitions we don't understand
Cause there isn't one, surgery's not the evil
It's the defining of beauty for other people
And the never-ending effort to accept what we're told
That what others say is the truth imposed
Expose holes in the logic of trying to conform to
Status quo complexions so everyone ignores you
No matter your efforts, there'll be those that abhor you
For breakin out the pack, leavin them to be scorned, too
Sheep that's black: the one that saves
The masses from the wolves cloaked in wools that are gray
[Chorus]
Ladies and Gentlemen, stand and be proud
If you're hearin this sound, it means you've gotten up
Every time you've gotten knocked down, what was lost is now found
So-leave the skeletons and burn em to the ground
And raise a fist up you're here in the present
We're experts on our own lives, fuck all the skeptics
The message is this: we need to not place
Such weight on our weight and such hate on our face
Cause misplaced blame is the root of the problem
Measures that we take, our efforts to solve em
But understand this: conceptions of beauty
That are dictated by the magazines and movies
Change with the times and the minds of the media
Controlled by us, we're the people deceivin ya
Get you to believe what you need is to conform
Bleed to cover-up deviations from the norm
Enough-it's time to fight back
Against a system that's built upon leaving you trapped
And how we manage that is stand and turn it off
It's a personal commitment to get this shit to stop
No matter how hard we try, things will stay the same
Unless we recognize our own self is to blame
And realize in the end, nothing will change
One man sits upon
a hill so beautiful
and he looks down on
the wonders that were laid upon him
While another man sits alone
outside on brick and stone
wrapped in rich mans trash
holding on so tight it hurts while....
A young man robs a store
to get what he is owed
I will not be thrown away
while somewhere I know champagnes flows
A boy in a uniform
questions all that he was taught
prays to any god
who may have time to listen
"I'm a hero only if I die,
can you tell me why?"
I want to let the bullet fly
I just can't choose the right direction
We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying
to make sense beneath this cloud we’re under dying
all is so, so beautiful and all is so unclear
when our eyes open beauty disappears
see the beauty queen in dress so tight
see eyes turn when she comes into sight
as she frowns upon
the wonders that were handed to her
see another woman rise at dawn
to catch a bus to work for not enough
to feed the children she will try to teach
to not grow up to be her
see her stand , screaming on the roof
god I love you but I see no proof
the pain puts me to sleep at night
it's still there when I rise
We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying
to make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying
all is so, so beautiful, and all is so unclear
when our eyes open beauty disappears
One man stands on high
Sells a gospel looking to the sky
while the weak and weary with eyes so wide
Picture glory they're told awaits them
See the loyal praying through their tears
with empty pockets holding only fear
Of a god so kind they're told
will bring riches to their life ten fold
See the Cadillac pull away
preacher man with nothing more to say
to the lost souls going one by one
to wonder what this pain buys when the kingdom comes
One man sits upon
A hill so beautiful
Another man looks up on
A hill so beautiful
We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying
to make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying
all is so, so beautiful, and all is so unclear
Oh, oh when I look around me
This old world seems so troubled to me
Does no one see, the beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more
Give a little love love love love love
Does no one see, the beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now, sometimes
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more, open up
Open up your heart and love more
Give a little love love love love love
It troubles my mind these troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
It troubles my mind these troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
It troubles my mind these troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
It troubles my mind these troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
It troubles my mind these troubled times
We need love, love, love, yeah
It troubles my mind these troubled times
