You ain't seen the things I seen
You don't wanna know this thing I know
It's like a nightmare, like a dream
Hear the final trumpets blow
Takes near everything I got
Seeing through the darkest spot
When the have-some will have none
Lookin through the darkest spot
Who's gonna stop the comin' rain?
Who's gonna wash away the stain?
Who's gonna save the day?
Who's gonna light the way?
Who's gonna stop the comin' rain?
You ain't seen the things I seen
You don't wanna know this thing I know
It's like a nightmare, like a dream
Listen to the final trumpets blow
Check
Uh huh
Check check, y'all
Yo Whitey Ford's the name
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Couldn't get more bent
When it's time to represent
I control it like rent
In a slum tenement
Life's hard like some men
In the concrete jungle
I don't smoke jumbo
So whatcha knockin' for
There's locks on my door
We rock from the floor
To the ceilin'
Ain't no drug dealin'
Ain't no gat peelin'
You can't fight this feelin'
Weeeell, My style's golden
Hot like molten rock
Niggers come bold
But leave here holdin' jock
High roll patrol
Roll through the set on fifth
Arm's solo
Sippin' momo with a chick
Niggers take the penitentiary
Chances at the dances
Lettin' off shots
Lit off the lanterns
Mad 'cause a nigga can't test with no access
To phatness like this
From one story the cowboy was founded
I'm surrounded by Casual and Whitey Ford
The whole world and your girl
From the Bay to LA
To my blue end while
I ain't tryin' to die
I'm tryin' to live
While I cool out
And pick up my daughter
When the bell says the school out
Who the hell brought tools
In this peaceful event
Now I can love you
Front you
Or we could hunt you
You played too close
Take a hit of this dose
A yes, yes, y'all
A freak, freak, yo
So fresh y'all
To the beat y'all
A yes yes y'all
We don't stop dog
We keep it rockin' till the panties drop, yo
Uh huh, ha
I see the rappers bein' ruined
By you and whoever's doin' that
Crap, they got me booin'
In fact, I'm gettin' to 'em
May an electrical poetical surge
Give me the urge
To, consume, the tomb
And submerge
The depths of adverbs
Keep it sickAnalytical
You pitiful trick
I'm the pinnacle and the prodigal
Rhyme style's
Hip nautical
Fuck the artical
The artist is hardest
To harvest the hard shit
I slave till all my work is done
I'm cashin' in
Stack up my money for a grand set
I like them all house parties rockin'
Plus I'm up in your cozy
Bitch turn your head and keep your eyes
Where they supposed to be
Supposedly I was seen with something lean, huh
Brown skin
I keep it bouncin'
I say loungin'
On the side with red wine
I know that shit on my floor ain't swine
Now back it up
Stack it up
And hit me one more time
It might be your phone call
But check it, it's my dime
And I know she's fine
But get off my line
Or I'll break that spine
And then maybe your face
You all up in my space
Like with Puffy and Mase
But that's just not the case'
Cause I'm settin' the pace
While you followin' and swallowin'
Savorin' the flavor
In your audio for now
Quick suckin' my style
I'll be the man
With the large amounts of savoir-faire
Rock on
To the break of dawn
Just freak it
Ah yeah baby
Rock on
To the break of dawn
Just freak it
Ah yeah baby
'Cause it's the funky beat'
Cause it's the funky beat
'Cause it's the funk, the funk, the funk, funky beat (beat)
I'll leave a piece of my style
Flyin' high up in the air
And you'll say to yourself
Damn I'm glad I was there
This is as rare as me frickin' share
You people stare
But behind closed doors
You will take it there
Casual:Yeah I be the extraordinare
Judge from Bayfare
To Albee Square
Tell me where the party at
I'll be there
Let her hit the coney at
Show her where to rock the pony at
I be the man
With the large amounts of sapphire fare
I'm about to cut loose
My dog so you all best beware
You can dance with flare
And get out of your chair
On behalf of Pan Am Airlines, we'd like to be the first
to welcome you to New York City. We'd like to thank you for flying Pan Am.
The local time is 6:45 AM and the temperature is 89°...
I've been up all night
On the redeye flight
The dawn's early light
Got the skyline bright
I'm in the back of a car service
My driver's kind of nervous
'Cause I'm tokin' on a blunt that's fat
You say you know where you at
I say I know where I am
And if you really want a tip
Then Mr. don't get flam
I ain't tryin' to be rude
And I ain't stressin' you gramps
But this shit right here
It be the breakfast of champs
I've been tokin' on this since thirteen years old
And when I look up at my wall I see platinum and gold
And there ain't nobody sneezin' at the money I fold
And I ain't here for your pleasin'
So put that shit on hold
Just keep your mouth shut and get me to the hotel
And turn the radio up while I finish this L...
Welcome back to the Five Seasons Mr. Ford, your usual room
is ready and waiting. Let me take your luggage. If you need anything while
you're staying, just let me know.
Good lookin' out...That's for you.
I hop out my car
Step into the lobby
Everybody's on the floor (get down)
It's a motherfuckin' robbery
The shit's in progress
I can feel the stress
I wanna silenty to God how I get in this mess
They tell me to freeze and get down on my knees
Between my jewels and my cash
I'm holdin' thirty five G's
They told me to run it
So I got bold and I front it
And like Slick Rick said
I know I shouldn't have done it
'Cause now they standin' over me
Watchin' me bleed
Damn, I got to quit smokin' all this weed
There's a pain in my chest
But yo, I must be blessed
Because before I faded out I saw the EMS
The paramedics
They greet me with some anesthetics
They killin' my pain
They screamin' my name
Tryin' to keep me in the conscious world
I'm thinkin' about my mom
My sister and my girl
I'm prayin' to God
Don't let this go too far
As they rush me into the St. Luke's O.R.
They pull the bullets out my chest
And give 'em back in a jar
Now I'm wearin' this scar
'Cause I tried to play hard
Mr. Ford, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
What are you talkin' about?
It would appear that one of the bullets grazed your spine and damaged the cord.
So what are you tryin' to tell me?
Well, it's safe to say I don't think you'll be jumpin' around anymore.
Yo, this can't happen to me
I just can't believe it
Trapped in a wheelchair
A paraplegic
There ain't no rehab
There ain't no therapy
For the rest of my life
Somebody's gotta take care of me
And people stare at me
With pity in their eyes
And every mornin' I rise to a life of despise
And ever night I think I might never rock the mic again
'Cause my brain's fucked up on percacet and vicadin
Might as well be heroin pulsin' through my veins
Gotta kill these pains
Or blow out my brains
To free me from these chains
I'm trapped in this physical hell
To walk again I just might sell my soul
Yeah, yeah, two-thousand, zero, zero
The party just started, ha-ha, ha-ha
Everlast, Kurupt, goes somethin' like this
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometime's you're just doing what you've got to do
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometime's you're just doing what you've got to do
Sticker man tryin' to feed his baby
Drug dealer tryin' to raise his son
Every pimp gotta dress his lady
Come on now you ain't the only one
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometime's you're just doing what you've got to do
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometime's you're just doing what you've got to do
Now this is the combination of intervention
That just might open up a new dimension
I can tell, the well, just might run dry
Loss some tension of thoughts, modify and simplify
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometime's you're just doing what you've got to do

Hard rapper the war path
War path Kurupt young Goddie
Incredibly clever, mack auther with Everlast it's true
Do what you wanna do, one, two
Mary Jane wanna run smoke reefer
Little Ricky's out sniffin' rock
Cynthia, she's at the disco coked out
Doesn't matter what drugs you on

You know it's Whitey
And the Likwits
I say it's Whitey
And the Likwits
You know it's Whitey
And the Likwits
Watch me rock these sounds
From the polo grounds
To the sunset strip
Like an acid trip
I'll flash it back on ya
Run it up on ya
I was born in Hempstead live
Raised in California
Mr. Entreprenuer
I rock the shot that's sure
I need a dime plus more
I sip the fine liquor
I want the cash in hand
Snd the beach front land
And I get loco
From Acolpoco to Japan
Mr. Whitey Ford gets terrain explored
You perpetrate that Ford
You must be out of your gourd
It's time to make like Greg Nice, kid
And praise the Lord
Keep the faith
Smoke an eighth
Until you stack the papers all up in my safe
Commence the motivate
Consume an altered state
I'm killin' your whole wack show
Like I'm Edgar Allan Poe
With the psychotic thriller
No peckerwood iller
Than this freckled-face man
With the farmer's tan
If I can't bomb on you
I'm bombin' on your man
Some get the shit, sugar, some get the stains
Some get the muscles, baby, some get the brains
Some get the powers, love, some get the papers
Some catch the vibes and some catch the vapors Better...
Praise the Lord keep keep the faith
I say roll to the rock
Rock to the roll
Whitey Ford brings the devastatin' mic control
Like Derryl McDaniel
A hundred G's venue
The tip's get clocked, baby
The bond's get stocked
My style gets rocked
Just like doors get knocked
With legendary status
Like my name's Lou Brock
And my lazairre sounds
Be shakin' the grounds
Huntin' down crews
Like packs of bloodhounds
Snatchin' off crowns
And meltin' 'em down
I once was lost, see
But now I'm found
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
And when the saints come marchin' in (keep the faith)
I'm Nestle's Alpine White / Classic rapper's delight
All these shorties pullin' tools
'Cause they know they can't fight
I bank my selections on worldwide connections
So get the seven digits, baby
Yeah Yeah
Whitey Ford and the likwit
2000 zero zero
Party just started
I got the complex subjects
The roughneck stature
The jerk factor results and bone fractures
Manufactured sounds and images
Got me scramblin' like football scrimages
Johnny Unitis
In god I trust
I don't need to get paper everytime I bust
Maybe I'll do it for charity
Now my label want to jerk me for my royalty
I guess thats what you get for loyalty
Life's a bitch don't take the shit personally
CHORUS:
Life's a bitch don't take it personally (3x)
Life's a bitch don't take it personal
Call me a visionary advasary
Known to bust cherry on a young berry
Now tell me how much weight can your back carry
And tell me how far have you come now
Im sick of all these fake rock B-boys who think they down
'cause they got a tattoo and turn their hat round
Their all my sons just call me Sam
Recognize who I am boy we ain't fam
This ain't the sopranos
You know I roll with the rythm cubanos
And billions get served like McDonalds
So get the fuck on before I give you a tray
Year though I ride through the calley in my blinged up whip
I don't fear no evil pumpin' full clip
'cause you ain't nothin but a bitch to me
By 2002 you'll be history
CHORUS
Yo I motivate to propagate my oral linguistic
Mystical science act of defiance
Bitches get slapped on non-compliance
Catgorize me with industry giants
I'm callin shots like my man chick hearn
I can mix your burn while you wait your turn
I get respect in this here and that's hard to earn
I don't do it for the paper I got money to burn
My sole motivation is rock the whole nation
Make a rhodes scholar out of a dust patient
All you drug addicts with the thug tatics
You might go to jail if the charge really sticks
Life's a bitch don't take it personally (7x)
Yeah that's her
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
All the broken hearts
And the unpaid dues
What you did to me
What I did to you
I ain't mad at you, boo
So what we gonna do?
I just seen you out with your new man
It's lookin' kind of happy
I'm feelin' like somebody just slapped me
My gut's in a knot
My temp's gettin' hot
I wanna make that man bleed
And wear this speed knot
'Cause he ain't got what we had
And it makes me kind of mad
I hurt my one true love
Just like my dad
And it's kinda sad
'Cause now my shit's together
No need for umbrellas
I can see the stormy weather
I'm goin' outside into the rain
Like Keith Sweat
'Cause I can't house this pain
We was workin' for years
Now I'm jerkin' these tears
From my lips to God's ears, girl
I did you wrong
So I'm makin' this song
To let you know how I feel
Before I'm keepin' it real
Man, keepin my heart concealed
And now I'm on the side
Just patiently waitin'
Watchin' on you and the time for updatin'
I can't hide from the truth
I know the puddin's in the proof
So I stand convicted like all your friends predicted
But I'd think you'd be surprised
On how this ends brothers
We went from lovers to friends
We'll go from friends to lovers
So if that man make you smile
I guess that I'll
Just accept it
And respect it
I'll hit you with this song
And let you think about it
Then I'll just leave you alone
And be a man about it
We can go
Soul for soul
Over mic control
Kid you can't touch me with a ten foot pole
And I even made the devil sell me his jewels
He was out to cold mock me
And play you for fools
Kid, you know the rules
Must be smokin' super cools
Try to diss me on the low
Got to be a psycho
That's aight though
You know you won't see me shakin'
I'm out to blow the spot
On who's real and who's fakin'
Who's given'
Who's taken'
Who's livin'
Who's starvin'
Diss me on the mic
It's time for headstone carvin'
And then tap right ya, I'll strike ya like lightin'
Dissolve ya like powder
So turn it up louder
Go on pump the wattage
Get the cheese by cottage
I like mean streaks
I like Spanish freaks
I like Korean barbecue
I'm like old school beats'
Cause...
I'm sick of all the shit that's droppin'
And I'm tired of all the lip that's poppin'
And all the wack attitudes people coppin'
I'm only tryin' to get a few heads boppin'
It go bang bang boogie
I'm sick like a loogie
I'm wiser than bud
I'm thicker than blood
I'm older than time
I'm only from divine
How can you be so bold and think that you'll take mine
I'm cash like Johnny
It's the highway man
And I'm walkin' this line the best way I can
With my farmer's tan
And my bloodshot eyes
I ain't bodied no one
I ain't chopped no bod
With the butter's from the gutters
I'm about to explode
And blow the spot for folk nave
Up the Gun Hill Road
Like artillery shells
Been from heaven to hell
And I'm a say a little prayer for every rapper that fell
Dollar, dollar bills.
Deutch, marks, franks, yens, and pounds.
I rock the jocked up sounds from Devenshire Downs.
Out the Fordham Road, up top in the boogie.
I be loyal to my peeps, like Buddha stud-doogie.
Never very bad news, payin' crazy dues.
I'm billowin' out crews and tamin' mad shrews.
Like Bill Shakespeare, the fakes will disappear.
The flavor in your ear is strong like Everclear.
200 proofs so put the match to the roof
And set this b***h on fire.
Get rich, the empire's about to strike back.
If you rock the mic wack.
And that's the way it is, cuz yo, it's like that.
Money Money Y'all
It be the root of all evil.
Money Money Y'all
It makes you popular with people.
I go back to the 80's
Like 3 times a lady,
when it was ***** for free and crack for currency.
It just occured to me, it's time for surgery.
I remove MC's like tumors. The lies and the rumors.
Got me thinkin of this dub, by Timex Social Club.
Yo, word to my mama.
I'm high off the trauma.
Whitey Ford gets deeper than the subway trains.
And I serve lazy fools like fast food chains.
All pain no gain, makes the brain insane.
Life in the fast lane.
The flakes, the cash gains, for real.
Dollar bill y'all. Dollar bill y'all.
Dollar dollar dollar dollar bill y'all.
It takes money...
to get that fly a** ho.
It takes money...
to see me rock a live show.
It takes money...
To get that last bag of smokes,
cuz the county took it from you when that a** was broke.
Hey yo, I'm about to g-off, just like my name was Eddo.
Black kids call me whitey... spanish kids wetto.
White kids call me king of this b-boy thing.
If it's broke, then fix it. If it's wack, you mix it.
Can't none of you MC's ever **** with these.
You be crazy on my ****, like some p**no chick.
For the style that I'm blessin, ain't no second guessin.
Kid, heed the lesson. Subtraction, addition.
Reward for submission.
Ain't no debate.
I won't stop till I'm eatin off a platinum plate.
I want the stocks and bonds, plus the real estate.
I want the iron gates, and low interest rates.
Plus a fly little spot to bring all my dates.
A little stash of the cash put aside in a safe.
For when times get lean,
Y'all know what I mean.
Money Money Y'all
Some be callin' it cream.
Money Money Y'all
Some be callin' it fame.
Money Money Y'all
But once I get it, i'm J.
I want cash and checks, I want diamond rings.
I want jewels on my neck and mad fly things.
I want a stack of fat chips, so I can go on long trips.
I want to sail the Bahamas on my own cruise ships.
I want acres of land. I want papers in hand.
I want stocks and bonds. All pros no cons.
Hey, if it smells funny, then back it up honey.
I want money y'all. I need the money y'all.
We're gonna be breakin' it down (Yeah!)
You gotta know the feel
You gotta know the life
You know what I'm sayin' (Hey!)
I said what's goin' wrong
You know it just ain't right
Tell me who be loud
When the spark ignite
Now from the break daylight
To the fall of the sun
You gotta pick your fight
It's time to choose your gun
Front to back
Right to left
Keep it live all night
Make it hot to death
Get your heart pumpin' like some crystal meth
Keep it live all night
Make it hot to death
Well...Hey...Tell me who's your God
Does he make a lotta dough
I'm gonna take you higher
Or to the fire below
Guns to roses
Abraham to Moses
Daylight exposes what the night conceals
Let's break these seals
And get this thing started
Some be out classed
Some be out smarted
Some be over bound by the blindin' rays
I hear the whisper in the night
Get trapped in the maze
See back in the days
When I was juvenile
I dreamed of rockin' on the mic
In a brand new style
Now I'm shakin' these bones
Tryin' to get these shoes
Outbidded major crews
I'm paid crazy dues
Now I'm speakin' on you
They just slept on me
And rumors start spreadin'
Just like a disease
I'll have you down on your knees
Below the spot ground zero
Turn brown and burn down Rome just like Nero
A hero ain't nothing but a
Don't make me say it again
Legend
Don't make me say it
That's what I'm sayin'
(EVERLAST)
Yeah, yeah, two-thousand, zero, zero

Here we are, my friend.
Once again
I'm inclined to rhyme one time.
So won't you lend me your ear?
Cuz it's clear
That this here has no pain
If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin a tear
Like a baby
Maybe
Is shoulda held back.
Some of you look shocked
I guess you couldn't tell that
I was here to drop knowledge
College is irrelevant
My next move,
To prove I'm smooth but still intelligent
Expressing
Lessons with sheer precision
First hear me out then make a decision
On whether Everlast knows what time it is.
Does this song belong in the rhyming biz?
Yes, I think so, cuz I'm a pioneer
Blazing the trail across a new frontier.
I'm growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.
Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier.
All affections left behind,
There's two more gears to grind.
Before I'm through,
I'm sure that you will find
A new respect for the rhymes I inject.
Through your eardrum,
Don't play dumb
Just let me get to the point of my address
Unless you feel you can't go.
This song is on the tables to make you dance, so
Get up, and if you don't, leave the premises
I'm Rula-Ku so you can call me a genesis.
Born to perform and please a large crowd
Of people at night and to my right is El-o
The scale is brother,
Known for being treacherous
A sucker made a move and that's the reason
Fletcher was forced to put his head out
He got too close to me,
Two by my side
And that's that's how it's supposed to be.
These are my brothers,
And they've been around me
Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me.
They are the people deserving of credit.
List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn't let it
Go to my head
Instead
I keep my feet down
Unlike sucker's from the past I beat down.
The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence
Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence.
As we go, the ego's
All start acting up
With statements
Of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up.
Talking louder as they get bolder,
But there's no defense
Against a syndicate soldier.
As we reach the final stage,
Something got engaged,
In a conflict,
That's sick with violent rage.
I gained fame,
From my name, Everlast.
How long can this hype about a devil last?
A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.
Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious.
That's okay, I'll stay under rated.
And good things will come to all who have waited.
For the brother of a lighter skin to begin
Droppin' knowledge with weight,
Cuz you rate paper thins.
Science is one thing, knowledge is another.
What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother?
Being a brother is a state of mind
For all those who chose to remain unblind.
Growing wisdom as I get older.
That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier.
She smelled like flowers, she tastes like toffee
She kissed me slowly, she held me softly
Got too close and she backed up off me
Left me stone cold sober just like black coffee
Just like black coffee
She told me that she'd always be thinkin' of me
She said she wanted me to know that she really did love me
She said she never put no one else above me
Except her monkey, she's like a junkie
Just like a junkie, just like a junkie
It was April 25th, it's up around 80
Found a spot out in the park where the grass is shady
She said her mom's from Jamaica said her father's from Haiti
Such a pretty lady, she's such a lady
She smelled like flowers, she tastes like toffee
She kissed me slowly, she held me softly
Got too close and she backed up off me
She left me stone cold sober just like black coffee
We all gonna die, we all gonna die
When I was a very young boy, Momma told me we're all gonna die
Momma said son love can't be trusted
It's just another weakness, we're all gonna die
Baby don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you no lie, we're all gonna die
Baby don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you no lie, we're all gonna die
Now I'm alone, seen the night livin'
Made a new friend, gonna get high
Don't take more than I'm givin'
Judgment day comin', we're all gonna die
If my wings should fail me Lord
Meet me with another pair
Baby don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you no lie, we're all gonna die
Baby don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you no lie, we're all gonna die
Baby gettin' born, old man dyin'
Young lady laughin', old women cryin'
Leavin' like a lamb comin' back like a lion
Babylon to Zion, we're all gonna die
Praise the most high, we're all gonna die
When I was a very young boy Momma told me we all gonna die
Momma said son love can't be trusted it's just another weakness
We're all gonna die, praise the most high, we're all gonna die
If my wings should fail me Lord
Meet me with another pair
Baby, don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you no lie, we're all gonna die
Baby, don't cry, praise the most high
We all gonna die, we all gonna die
Baby, don't cry, praise the most high
I tell you know lie, we're all gonna die
Baby, don't cry, praise the most high
A yes yes y'all
It's too fresh y'all
A little b-boy blue
You know it's too beucou
I've been from New York to Cali
Spent two days in the valley
And I think I'm 'bout to lose my mind
And if I think 'bout it one more time
I'm a blow my stack
See ya out the back
Give me some room that I can breathe in
Now I'm a start weavin' spells like a wizard
King of the lizard
My mojo's risin' like my nature should
Not everybody can relate to hood
But I used to roll with high frequency
Had a habit of juvenile delinquency
If y'all could see all the things I did
When I was a kid
Ya might flip ya lid
'Cause...When I was the age of one
My father gave me my very first gun
When I was the age of two
I was pullin' out records with the SD Crew
And when I was the age of three
I had all the maddest fishes swimmin' after me
And when I was the age of four
I was bustin' out shows with the rhymes galore
I say day to the night
Night to the day
Up around where I stay
We do things this way
You got to watch how you act
And watch what you say
'Cause their ain't no stallin'
When the death come callin'
The man that lives by the pistol
Dies by the smokin' gun (gun)
I think I hear a steam whistle
Lord, when my train gonna come
Yo, all you duns packin' guns
Fightin' for ones
It's time to get these hons
Start raisin' some sons
Plant your seed in some fertile soil
And watch me start bubblin'
Like I'm 'bout to boil
Like Olive Oyle love Popeye
Just won't stoppa
I got to keep rockin'
Ticks keep tockin'
Time keeps slippin'
My mind keeps trippin'
I'm in the road less traveled
Sure got lotta stones
Watch me break it down
There's a red house yonder
Just over the hill
With my name carved into the window sill
I think I'm gonna burn it down
Yeah, I think I'm gonna burn it down
That's what me and my old woman used to say
We used to lie in bed and make love all day
Now I think I'm gonna burn it down
Yeah, I think I'm gonna burn it down
It's been seven years down the road
I got no more tears that are left to flow
When I did my baby wrong
She left me lonely for so long
Now I'm out here all alone
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home
Lord, won't you please...bring my baby home
Lord won't you please bring my baby home
It go one for the treble
Two for the bass
Used to mess with this girl
Way back in the day
She was from the PJ's
And she went both ways
Yeah, the girl was a freak
I used to call her Monique
And before I even speak
About knockin' the boots
I say her name been changed to avoid lawsuits
So now we gettin' down to the nitty of the gritty
She brought her friend around
And damn she was pretty
Betty was twisted
She said her number was listed
They grabbed my love two fisted
Hugged it and kissed it
They say one in the hand
Is worth two in the bush
But when shove came to push
Yo, I had my own theories
World Series of love
It's two on one
Till I got caught with the smokin' gun
His wife came home
And she bursted in
Now I'm lookin' for my heart
Like I'm made from tin
The road that I travel
Ain't got yellow bricks
My old woman jinxed
That all men are pricks
And she flipped the script
She's puttin' lip to lip
And every time I think about it I just lose my grip
'Cause I've been up
And I've been down
And I've been fast
And I've been slow
And I've been square
And I've been round
And I've been high
And I've been low
And I've been cool
And I've been calm
And I've been kind
And I've been crass
I held the whole world right in my palm
I tried to spread it around
But it sure went fast
Seven years sure have flown by
I got no more tears and they are left to cry
When I did my sugar bad
I lost the best thing I ever had
And now I'm out here on my own
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home
Watchin' the sunshine, peekin' over the skyline
Thinkin' I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time
Wanna get near it, close enough to fear it
Close enough to hear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then I turned away
And I'm not scared, but I can't move
I'm not scared, but I can't move
Hangin' out on the weeknight, lookin' off the street light
Gettin' into some fist fight, tryin' to cling to my birth right
I wanna get near her, close enough to smell her
Close enough to tell her all the things that I wanna say
That I looked her in the eye and made her run away
And I don't care (don't care), but I can't move
I don't care (don't care), but I can't move
Layin' up in the sofa, lookin' out of my window
Pullin' back on some endo, watchin' breeze as the wind blow
Wanna get near it, close enough to hear it
Close enough to fear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then it turned away
And I'm not scared (not scared), but I can't move
A trust betrayed, a rusty blade
Standin' on the air, I walked the line
Paid my fine, hope I know the land
The actual facts, unatural acts
Sins that take their toll
The Angel and the ginn and the beast within
They fight to take control
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord needs you like a junkie needs his drug
He needs you like a baby boy needs his hug
Needs you like the power, Lord, needs the sun
I need you like DMC needs Run
Lord, have mercy on my soul, Lord, have mercy on my soul
Lord loves you like the Eskimo loves the cold
I love you like the miner man loves his gold
Love you like the fishermen loves the sea
I love you like the flowers love the work of bees
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Standin' up tall, on top of the wall
Hopin' that I can fly, Angel and the jinn and the beast within
Say I'm gonna die
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Her skin was soft and sweet, she wore sandals on her feet
Side by side 'till we fell asleep in her mothers bed
She stepped inside of me, said don't ever lie to me
This heart of mine can be yours, yeah, that's what she said
But I just played the role, broke the heart I stold
Because I was young, and dumb and fucked up in the head
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes, I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
Now, down by the river, takin' off my shoes jumpin' in the water
Wash away these blues, now into the ocean, the current takes over
Words already been spokin', tales already been told
Hearts already been broken, wounds already been healed
Do you wanna be loved, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes I wanna be loved for real)
Her eyes were hazel brown, she laughed the sweetest sound
And I just loved the way she lit up when she spoke
She helped me ease my pain, she stayed in the pouring rain
And I gave her all that she could take 'till she broke
She fit me like a glove, she taught me how to love
And for some ass I watched it all go up in smoke
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
Do you wanna be loved (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
Do you wanna be loved (do you wanna be, do you wanna be, loved for real) for real
Do you wanna be loved (yes I wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real)
Uncle Whitey, Uncle Whitey, can you tell us a bedtime story?
Yeah, we want some bedtimes stories...(Please!)
Once upon a time not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behavin' like they our too good
There was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he said
"Me and you, Guy, we gonna make sum cash, robbin' old folks and makin' the dash"
They did the job, money came with ease, but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another and another and a sister and her brother
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover, the cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said, "keep still, boy, no need for static", punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped, the kid pulled out a gun
He said, "why'd you hit me?", the barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure, "I'll do years if I pull this trigger"
So he cold dashed and ran around the block, cop radios in to another lady cop
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sister, a shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
Looked around good and from expectations, so he decided he'd head for the subway stations
But she was coming so he made a left, he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him, then he made his move to an abandoned building
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor, opened up the door there, guess who he saw
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope, who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said, "I need bullets, hurry up, run", the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
He went outside but there was cops all over, then he dipped into a car, was a stolen Nova
Raced up the block doing 83, crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered, rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
Ran out of bullets but still had static, grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead
He told the cops, "back off or honey here's dead", deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
so he let the lady go and he starts to move on, sirens sounded, he seemed astounded
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded, he dropped the gun, so went the glory
And this is the way I must end this story, he was only nineteen, in a madman's dream
I saw the cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream, this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Just another case 'bout the wrong path, straight and narrow or your soul gets cashed
They call me white Devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Ego's trippin', scripts keep flippin'
Bloods keep bloodin', Crips keep crippin'
Time keeps slippin' and I keep fallin'
I can't see but I hear them callin', ballers ballin'
Players playin', haters fightin', righteous prayin'
Don't forget Manhattan keep makin', Brooklyn keep takin'
Shook ones keep shakin', no time for fakin'
Know what I mean, I ain't choppin' no bars just risin' like cream
If you diggin' the scene, you feelin' the vibe
Throw your hands in the air, scream are you alive
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
They call me black Jesus, white Moses
Heaven freezes, Hell closes
B-Boy posin', punk rock chicks, kids are alright but I need my fix
If you diggin' the mix, feelin' the drugs, if you keepin' it real
If you livin' like thugs, I spit kisses and hugs like forty five slugs
Come back on the run and kiss my love gun
Got a look that'll kill, voice that'll carry
Half a dozen women that think I want a marry
I got trouble on my mind, I'm refusin' to lose
But still I got a find someone to abuse, I'm gonna run spread the news
Help say the word, jump the fuck back and just act like you heard
They call me white Devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Black Jesus, white Moses
Heaven freezes, hell closes
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
They call me white sinner, black martyr, live wire
Fire starter, jungle brother, red neck cracker, freak of nature
New world slacker, sex junkie lookin' for a dealer
You can play the leper girl and I can play the healer
Shit is only gettin' realer, baby haven't you heard
That the bird, bird, bird, yes the bird is the word
It go one for the trebble, two for the times, and three for my homies and four for the dimes
Singin' lemons to the limes to the break of dawn
Excuse me (six minutes) Everlast you on
And it go on and on like a rolling stone, baby, anywhere I lay my hat is my home
They call me white Devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Black Jesus, white Moses
Heaven freezes, hell closes

(Whitey, Whitey)...It's my love
Punk rock the scar, disco to blues
Yo, my blue seude shoes got stepped on
Slept on, the style that I hustle
You wanna flex then punk make a muscle
I'm (Whitey, Whitey)...Yeah, that's right
Some of y'all kiddies wanna act uptight
Comin' to the party tryin' to spark up fights
I'm puttin' out lights, boy, 'cause I'm (Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...)
I'm whiter than crack, I'm harder than drugs
I'm smarter than thugs, I'm hotter than slugs
I'm faster than sound, I came to get down, boy, don't fuck around
You'll catch a beat down it's comin' from
(Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...)
What, you thought I stopped rhymin' 'cause I started signin'
Pickin' on a six-string, wrist bling blingin'
Name's bell ringin' from coast to coast
You're rollin' with the one that rocks the most
I'm (Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...)
Official like referees, fuck with me put your egos in jeapordy
Threats to the right, amigos to the left of me
Part of me's hellish, part of me's heavenly (Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...)
Boy, that's my name, I don't do it for the wealth, I don't do it for the fame
I do it for the health and I do it for the spirit
Don't speak the lyric if you can't hear it (Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...)
If it ain't from the heart than it can't be art
If you ain't got proof than it can't be truth
If it ain't got legs than it can not run
If it ain't never started than it can't be done
White Trash Beautiful, Trailer Park Queen
She slings hash at the diner from 11 to 5
She married a boy from school, thought he was oh so cool
But all he can do for money is drive
Out late haulin' freight on Interstate 5, prayin' he'll see home before his baby arrive
White Trash Beautiful, there's something you should know
My heart belongs to you
And you could've found a better guy
I'll love you till the day I die
I swear to God it's true
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you girl
He lights a cigarette, his eyes half open
He won't be home tonight, but she keeps hopin'
Drinking himself to sleep is his only way of copein'
She waits for him every night, she leaves the front door open
It's 4 AM and doing 95, trying to stay awake and make it home alive
White Trash Beautiful, there's something you should know
My heart belongs to you
I know you could've found a better guy
I'll love you till the day I die
I swear to God it's true
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you girl
Her lips stay painted red, nametag's crooked
Her heart's been gone awhile with the truck driving man that took it
He keeps her photograph on his rear view mirror
She prays for him every night, she hopes that he can hear her
White Trash Beautiful, there's something you should know
My heart belongs to you girl
I know you could've found you some better guy
I'll love you till the day I die
I swear to God it's true
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you girl
Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...Ford, Ford...
Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Whitey...Ford, Ford...
The white boy is back
And you know he can never be wack
The white boy is back
The white boy is back
With his foot up in your ass crack
The white boy is back ('cause you know he's the white boy)
The white boy is back
And you know that he never smoke crack
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
Met a fine red boned mami
She told me that her name was Lucille
Met her on Fountain Avenue
Sitting on a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
She said, I'm a liar, a thief, a junkie
And I used to be a whore
And I've been trying to shake this monkey
So long, I just can't take it no more
I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I'm sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bone
I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst
We talked all afternoon
She made me cry, I told some jokes
She looked me deep in my eyes
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Her grandmother died when she was five
And she never did know her folks
Her father fell in a gun fight
And her mother by an overdose
I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I'm sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones
I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst
She said, I've slept with gangsters
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
I've seen therapists and holy men
But this weakness is my only friend
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
It starts to creep and take control
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
And tomorrow I'ma do it all again
'Cause I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I'm sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones
I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
I was too busy counting all my zeros
Never really thought too much about heroes
Never really thought too much about anyone but me
Never really opened my eyes wide enough so that I could see
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me, just like me
Never really thought too much about tomorrow
Never really dealt very well with sorrow
Tired of living my life like a feather floating on the breeze
Trying to find me a good woman that can bring me down to my knee
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me, just like me
I think I've always tried to do the right thing
I've been a little to scared to ride the lightening
Tired of living my days surrounded by all these fears
Still stuck in my ways haven't changed after all these years
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
And I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me, just like me, just like me, just like me
Yesterday, just a dream I don't remember
Tomorrow, still a hope I've yet to indulge
I'm out of time, I'm out of rhyme, I'm out of reason
Season's change and leave me out in the cold
The story's old, the tale been told by many scholar
Got a fistful of dollar and pocketful of love
God above if You hear me cryin'
I've tried to sell my soul but no one's buyin'
Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'
Lord strike me down
Lord strike me down
Lord strike me down
It's gettin' cold It's time for dyin'
Come on and watch me shine
Like the world is mine today
(Check it out)
Come on and watch me shine
(Check it out)
Like the world is mine today
Watch me shine
(Check it out)
Let the man who's free from sin
Free from sin
Cast the first stone and begin the violence
Begin the violence
Let the man whose words ring true
Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence
Through the silence
Let the ones who lose their way
Live to see just one more day in the sunshine
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let the ones who choose to stray
Recognize the prize they'll pay In their lifetime
In their lifetime, in their lifetime
Come on and watch me shine
Like the world is mine today
(Check it out)
Come on and watch me shine
(Check it out)
Like the world is mine today
Watch me shine
(Check it out)
Sittin' you wait for my roads to cross
You nail me down and you watch me bleed
Bronx Style Bob: watch me bleed
So lay my head against the earth
Plant my body like a seed
Plant my body like a seed
You can't always get the things you want, love
(Check it out)
Tell me what you want
Get what you deserve or maybe what you need
Uh, tell me what you need
So fill my hole with precious dirt, love
Till the soil and part the weed

Come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine today
Watch me shine
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
Yo I've been walkin' round in the streets of these cities
I've flipped a few whiskies, I've rode a few kitties
I made a few dollars, I bought a few bottles
I popped a few collars then rocked a few models
I've pushed a few buttons, left all you cats guessing
It's Whedo Garcia, bia, who you stressin'
I'm epervecent, bout to drop blessings
I had to kill Whitey, word to the almighty
I'm tailor-made and I'm custom-fitted
Can't none of y'all cats do it like I did it
I might come sing it, I might come spit it
And if you wanna take it, try to come get it
You'll get your wig splitted, get your grill busted
I'm crazy like the Beastie Boys were still dusted
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Yo, off the dummy's instrumental, I spit heavy metal
Never been from the ghetto, keep it mad fundamental
Caninite devil, Cockazoid rebel
Add some bass, add some treble, pump up my level
Cause mad motherfuckers done bit my steeze
And the game has got biters like dogs got fleas
And all you dick riders get up off your knees
Drinkers turn your bottles up, smokers burn your trees
Learn your A B C's, mind your P's and Q's
Fuck around, get shot up, wind up on the news
Yo, it's Whedo Garcia, he a singin' the blues
Rockin' shiney jewels and some brand new shoes
I love my mama cause she ain't raised no fools
My golden rule is stay holdin' the tool
What you doing to your people's comes back on you
Don't know when the grim reaper wants to rendezvous
It's like
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
I hear mad motherfuckers say they're ready to die
Acting like they don't care but I swear they lie
Tell you now if they had to look death in the eye
They beg and they plead and they scream and they cry
When the reaper calls, ya all will fall
Ya all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, ya all will fall
Ya all will fall when the reaper calls
I hear a lot of motherfuckers say they down for the kill
Most of them are just clowns but they swear they will
Spend a lot of time being down, keepin' it real
But I pay more attention to the ones that keep still
Ya all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, ya all will fall
Ya all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, ya all will fall
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
Sittin' alone and I hear rain fallin' on my windowsill
Just wanna do what's right but I don't know if I ever will
There's so many reasons, too many excuses
And all these prescriptions, got too many uses
And I'm so lonely
It's kind of scary
And this kind of lonely is making me weary
I'm so lonesome I could die
Sittin' alone and I am waitin' for the sun to shine
Sometimes I kneel and pray hoping someday you'll be mine
She's so many miles away
So many things to say
And all of the games we'd play don't matter anyway
Cause I'm so lonely
The sex is empty
But this kind of lonely makes it easy to tempt me
I'm so lonesome I could die
I'm so lonesome I could die
Sittin' alone and I am waitin' for somebody to call
Think if I up and died wouldn't nobody notice at all
Cause I'm so insecure and I feel so unsure
Can't take it anymore, no
It's never been like this before
And I'm so lonely, feel like cryin'
And this kinda lonely is worse than dyin'
I'm so lonesome I could die
I'm so lonesome I could die
This is the warning...I warned you baby
Back of the liqueur store bout' to blaze this joint
Got some dice in my hand
My man says six is your point
Trying to hit the hard way so I can break like Steve Miller
Take the money then I run son
I'm a lover and a killer
This is the warning...I warned you baby
I feel like god and the devil
I'm a saint
I'm a sinner
I'm a hard rocking'
Hard headed
Hard sick summer winner
I'm a kush blazing'
Bush chasing
Product of the city
And I ain't asking for your love
And I don't want your pity
So girl don't talk about me shitty
Don't act all high and ditty
If your man keep playing me funny
I'mma come take all his money
And leave him holy from this blessing
With my four pound smith and Wesson
Better watch out who you're stressing
Fuck around you'll learn your lesson
This is the warning...I warned you baby
Back of the liqueur store trying to break these chumps
Bunch of heads in a circle, daddy's handing out lumps
Trying to shake these bones
I'm trying to get these shoes
But yo they all think Whitey's cheating
Cause tonight I can't lose.
They wanna take my funds
But I'mma blaze my guns
We're burning sensations
And heart palpitations
Why you breathing so heavy
While your palms are sweaty
And if you thinking bout' a stick' move
Word to god you ain't ready
Don't throw no roses on my grave, boo
Death's not a soldier, it's more like an angel
You got nowhere to run, no one to pray to
Jesus and Moses ain't comin' to save you
(The greatest, the, the, the greatest)
I float like a butterfly, I sting like a hornet
They won't let me have it
Not even if no one else want it and if I try to take it
They wanna break me down and strip me naked
They write a brand new rule and break it
They lie, they cheat, they steal, they fake it
But I'mma make it, Lord, I can take it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, know I got to get it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt my name will survive
(The greatest, the, the greatest man alive)
(The greatest man)
(The greatest, the, the)
I'mma make it, Lord, I can take it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, I know I got to get it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt my name will survive
(The, the greatest man alive)
The greatest, the, the greatest man
The, the, the greatest man alive
The, the, the greatest, the, the, the greatest man
The greatest man alive
I'mma make it, I know that I can take it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, I know I gotta get it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt my name will survive
(The greatest man, the greatest man alive)
It only gets harder
It always seems so far away
The sky's getting darker
Another storm is on the way
(The, the greatest, the, the, the greatest)
Another storm is on the way
(The, the, the, the greatest, the, the greatest)
(Verse 1)
I just can't do it, not anymore
Everytime I fake a smile,
I feel just like a whore
I just can't do it, It's beyond my means
And all i know bout love
Read in fashion magazines
I just can't do it, it can't be done
That's just what I say
cuz I know I'm not the one
(Chorus)
I've been moving for so long
My life's a million miles away
And I'm the one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay
(Verse 2)
I just can't do it, It's much too hard
I drive around a lonely night
Up and down the boulevard
I just can't do it, I feel so old
It looks like the sun is shining
But the wind is blowing cold
I just can't do it, It's gone too far
I sit at home alone tonight
Just wondering where you are
(Chorus)
I've been standing still so long
Mind's a million miles away
And I'm that one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay
(Verse 3)
I just can't do it, no matter how hard I try
And you don't come around anymore
But I know the reason why
I just can't do it, it's way too late
I hang on with all my might
I can't accept this fate
I just can't do it, I feel so bad
I sit around and think about
All the chances that I had
(Chorus)
And I've been hurting for so long
You're a million miles away
And I'm the one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay
But I could not make you stay
-You came into my life
-I don't have to wonder no more, I can feel it all in my soul
It's Soul Music
-It's deep down in my soul
Feel the Burn
I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
-Its deep down in my soul
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
-It's deep down in my soul
Yo, I first took breath in Hemstead, Long Island
Born in American ancestry from Ireland
You ain't knowin me, you'd better stop smilin'
Aint nothin funny once my dummies start whiling
You talkin loud now all of a sudden it's silent
Your premonitions say it's about to get violent
You want permission just to blink your own eyelids
I got my soldiers, everywhere they go, I win
No stick moves, aint no cap peeling
Where I come from real men don't catch feelins
We don't rhyme about fake jacks or drug dealin
The shit I drop will leave all your brains on the ceilin'
Mass appealin, done it since the '80s
Rock rhymes for my dogs, sing songs for my ladies
Spend money like crazy, aint got no babies
If I don't make it in heaven I'll run shit in Hades
Now I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
-Its deep down in my soul
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
-It's in my soul
Soul Music
And I can feel a dark sensation deep down in my soul
-It's deep down in my soul
Soul Music
Tryin to find an explanation deep down in my soul
-It's deep down in my soul
Yo I shit on competition
Spit on percussion
Beats are bonecrushin
One deep I'm bum-rushin
Guns they get stuck in
Someone starts buckin
The jewels that I'm truckin got pimps upchuckin
You can't hold me down
You can't hold my hand
A full grown man with the one God plan
I represent the colors that never run
God bless DMC
God bless Reverend Run
R.I.P. for the J.M.J.
Tell Big and Scott LaRock that we all say hey
Be like Tupac or be like Kid 'n Play
Do you wanna burn out or just fade away
I can rock the mic with no delay
With my head to the ground every time I pray
You can catch a heart attack or get blown away
Cause this type of shit happens everyday
Feel the burn
-I can feel it all in my soul
It's Soul Music
-It's deep down in my soul
Feel the burn
-It's in my soul
It's Soul Music
-It's deep down in my soul
Feel the burn
Now I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
-Its deep down in my soul
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
-It's in my soul
Soul Music
And I can feel a dark sensation deep down in my soul
-It's deep down in my soul
Soul Music
Tryin to find an explanation deep down in my soul
-It's deep down in my soul
(Hello?)
(Hey is she home yet?)
(No, she's not home yet)
(All right, thanks)
Try to get you on the phone
But your mother always says you're gone
And you ain't coming home
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Try to get you on the line
And ask you to be mine
But you're so hard to find
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Baby girl she makes the good motion
Make no mistake she's deep as the ocean
Jake never sleeps in the heart of the city
And God'll never make another woman this pretty
And I can never guess why she even messed wit' me
Word to P.Diddy
I treated her shitty
I'm sick of cliches like opposites attract
When they drop the drum track
Screaming "Baby come back"
Reality bites like pit bull fights
I jump outta bed and throw on my lights
Your clothes are all gone
And you ain't there
And your makeup drawer is empty
I found an old picture of you washing your hair
And now we ain't even friendly
Try to get you on the phone
But your mother always says you're gone
And you ain't coming home
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Try to get you on the line
And beg you to be mine
But you're so hard to find
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Ain't too many kids that bang like this shorty
She'll sip champagne
She'll come drink a forty
Got a smell that intice
Dress kinda sporty
In public she's nice
In private she's naughty
I had every man's dream in the palm of my hand
And fucked it all up like the Taliban
She left town with my ring and wrecked all our plans
And I don't even care about the fifty grand
Man the hell with the cash cause that ain't the point
We used to sit around and laugh as we smokin' the joint
We used to watch TV and eat chicken wings
We had tickle fights
We did the wild things
Now I'm all alone up in my room
This house is feelin' empty
We used to talk about being bride and groom
And now we ain't even friendly
Try to get you on the phone
But your mother always says you're gone
And you ain't coming home
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Try to get you on the line
And beg you to be mine
But you're so hard to find
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Me corazon
Ain't comin' home
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Turned off her phone
Left me alone
The pain that cuts down to the bone
It can't be fixed
Scars don't heal
None of these chiks out here is real
Some of these chicks got sex appeal
But their souls all come up empty
Put me in the mix, girl, what's the deal?
All I'm trying to be is friendly
Try to get you on the phone
But your mother always says you're gone
And you ain't coming home
Girl I'm sleeping alone
Try to get you on the line
And beg you to be mine
But you're so hard to find
Yo Everlast, what's up?
It's Sen Dog.
How you doin' kid?
Check this, I heard you're doin' some shit with some live instruments
and all that.
Word, I'm doin' the same thing, hey yo, check this out...
You still rhymin' or what?
One time around the block
2 times around the clock
3 times don't cross the little lady
So pretty & oh so bold
Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road
She said "I don't even think that God can save me"
(Am I) gaining ground
(Am I) losing face
(Am I) lost & found by Saving Grace
Thankful for the gift My Angel's gave me
Born alone
We die alone
Nuttin' but sittin' here by the phone
Waitin for the Lord to send my callin'
Street wise from the boulevard
Jesus only knows that she tries too hard
She's only tryin' to keep the sky from fallin'
Any man says it's Heaven & Hell
Prob'ly got somethin' useless to sell
You ask me if I'm saved but what's it to ya?
Blow a quarter
Cop another eighth
You're runnin' out of high, you're losin' your faith
Throw your hands up & scream Halleluiah
Halleluiah (x4)
Amen
One time around the sun
another year older and my work ain't done
it's time for me to write the final chapter
Deal the cards & roll the dice
sex drugs & rock n roll are my only vice
tryin' to figure out just what's here after
Halleluiah (x4)
I seen her at a stoplight on Alvarado
Was sittin in a pearl white El Dorado
With a gangsta lean she was revvin' the throttle
Got a sticker on the bumper say she like tejano
She looked like Selena
The truth couldn't be plainer
She like a gangster boogie
Her Papi calls her cookie
Her friends call her a sad girl
'coz her man went away
and he ain't never comin' back
So cry a another tattoo
Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city
Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on
I seen her at the market she was pushin' a stroller
Smokin' on a cigarette, drinkin' a soda
Laughin' at a joke that somebody just told her
Got her baby's name tattooed on the back of her shoulder
She looks like an angel
She talks like the devil
She feels like a stranger
She lives like a rebel
Her friends call her a sad girl
'coz her man went away
and he ain't never comin' back
So cry a another tattoo
Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city
Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on
Hey Sad Girl we can take this slow
Baby what you looken for? Let me know.
You say you want a man that can give you some dough
You say buy my baby shoes and maybe buy him a coat
and buy my baby food to put down his throat
I won't play you like a hoe, it ain't like that yo
Let me holla at you later, we can go to the show
I aint tryna rock the boat I'm tryna keep you afloat
I seen her at the post office mailin' a letter
She couldn't send no money but she made him a sweater
She's talkin' on the pay phone and somethin' upset her
I really wanna hold her but I only just met her
But I could tell she'd been crying
She said she felt like dyin'
She never been so alone, no
She gotta make it on her own now
She's a sad girl 'coz her man went away and he ain't never comin' back
Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city
Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on
Sad girl
sad girl
sad girl
sad girl
sad girl
sad girl
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on,
Put your lights on
Hey now all you lovers
Put you lights on,
Put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put you lights on,
Put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on,
You better leave you lights on
'Cause there's a monster,
Living under my bed,
Whispering in my ear
And there's an angel,
With a hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear
There's a darkness,
Living deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your lights shine,
Deep into my home
God don't let me lose my nerve,
Don't let me lose my nerve
Hey now, hey now,
Hey now, hey now
Wo-oh hey now
Hey now, hey now,
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, all you sinners
Put you lights on,
Put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on,
You better leave your lights on
'Cause there's a monster,
Living under my bed,
Whispering in my ear
And there's an angel,
With a hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear
La illaha illa Allah
We all shine like stars
La illaha illa Allah
We all shine like stars
Hey yo, what up Everlast?
This is Prince Paul, man.
Yo, I ran into Trev on the street from Nasty and he said you're doing
this dope Celtic rock album.
So I was like, "yo, that's my style...
That's what I do".
You know I got beats from back in the days.
So I'm like, yo, why don't I give you a call 'cause yo,
'cause you know I got that ill like, you know...
You know somethin' like "Jump Around" but it's
more on that like old lucky charm style type, you know.
In other words yo, just yo, give a brotha some work.
You know what I mean?
It's like I got beats man...
Dante got some beats, but I got beats!
Because yo, I've been doin' it for awhile.
So yo, I got the joint. Call me...
You got my number, I got it.
I know what you need...
I know what you need, man.
I know you got dough.
Somewhere between the lies and truths, borderlines get shady.
Somewhere between the yeses and nos you can find a maybe.
Somewhere between the highs and lows you can spot the middle.
Somewhere between the questions and clues you can solve the riddle
Somewhere along the road you might need a place to stay.
Somewhere along the line you're gonna have to pass away.
And somewhere in space you still remind me of a reason.
And summertime you still smell like my favorite season.
And it feels like pain...
It's just like pain...
Love is like pain...
Some people like pain...
Somewhere between the mountain and sea a river is flowing
Somewhere between the earth and the sky, the winds of change are blowing
Somewhere between the two of us a space is growing
Somewhere between suspicion and trust are the things worth knowing.
Somewhere along the road you might want to hitch a ride
Somewhere along the line you're gonna have to swallow your pride
Somewhere inside you still remind me of a feeling
Somewhere deeper still are wounds that are not healing.
Put your nails in my hand....Pain
Fill my eyes up with sand...Pain
Papercuts on my tongue...Pain
We're right now where we begun...Pain
Somehow I only hurt the ones who really mattered
Somehow she played her role although her soul was battered
Someday soon I know my ashes will be scattered
One and the same, one and the same
I wish I could see beyond the filthy blue horizon, see what lies ahead of me
Perhaps I'd see the path of my own destruction
And avoid my destiny, she said Heaven and Hell is one and the same boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, was one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true
I wish I could touch you in some totally new fashion
Who are you girl, I'm a man, now I can't guarentee your complete satisfaction
So I'm gonna do you the very best way I can
She said Heaven and Hell is one and the same, boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true
Wish I could find some time to stop and smell the roses
My landlord won't let me be, my head is full of paranoia
New roses, tryin' to consume my identity
She said heaven and hell is one and the same, boy
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle, yes we do
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true, it just can't be true
Children grow and women produce and men go work and some go stealin'
Heaven and Hell (children grow and women produce),
She says that she likes the ocean
There's a house up on the hill
Where you can just make out the ocean
There's a woman there waiting for your hard work
And every breath she takes is like artwork
And I think that I can just about touch the ocean
There's 1500 miles between me and my next real smile
I think that I can just about smell the ocean
I'm full of unquestionable devotion
But I think I put a terrible thing in motion
She says that she likes the ocean
There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea
I left my heart up there, rusting in the salty air
I tried to make it home but I lost the key
It's been 600 days since I laid eyes on your gorgeous face
I'm trying to make it home but I lost the key
I'm waiting for the Lord to set me free
I'm wishing that you were standing here next to me
She says that she likes the ocean
She says that she likes the ocean
There's a house up on the hill
(She says that she likes the ocean)
Where you can just make out the ocean
(She says that she likes the ocean)
There's a house up on the hill
It used to feel like home
(She says that she likes the ocean)
There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea
(She says that she likes the ocean)
Haha
'And there, but for the grace of God, go I'
It's kinda neat
I wonder what it means
I rock a jam for love
I quit my band for love
I'll smack the chrome tool right out your hand for love
Make you cry like a dove
Leave you standin' alone
In a world so cold
Watch the drama unfold
'Cause you sell your soul
Now you're fearin' your death
Sniffin' crystal meth 'till there ain't none left
But, rock bottom hurts when you hit it
You start to reflect on all the friends you shitted
You probably won't admit it
So you start to sink lower
You're caught in the flood
And you're tryin' to find Noah
If you hungry and your near me yo, you gonna get fed
If you sleepy and you need a place to lay your head
Then come take my bed
I'll sleep on the floor
'Cause these are the times that friends are for
I see everybody out here doin' for self
And they don't give a damn on the next man
Puttin' status and wealth over God and health
I can't wait 'till you the next man
I get uptight for love
You know I'll fight for love
I might keep my wifey up all night for love
And when the daylight comes
I be seein' mad bums
With no shoes on their feet
Plus nothin' to eat
I can't save the whole street
So I feel like I'm beat
And why play the game when nothin' goin' to change
The only change that's wanted is loose in my jeans
I get rushed on every corner by a bum or a fiend
Tryin' to keep my dean
I try to give to the poor
Tryin' to get through this life
And get through that door
I'm all up in this mix
For these final tics
Goin' all the way to seven
And it's half past six
I pray to God for love
I'll make Jihad for love
And I just might pull your freakin' card for love
Make you sing 'Hey Love' like my man King Son
I freak the art noise
Over all you toys
Better bring your boys
Summon all your crew
No matter what you do
It's comin' back on you
Just like a planet orbits
Let your sponge absorb it
It's logical conclusion
It's b-boy fusion
And confusion say that he want control
Of your mentality
Your body and your soul
So if you lose your whole
Come and take my hand
And link up this jam
'Cause money that's the plan
Tryin' to get through this maze
Not to win this race
We either ridin' on our horse
Or walkin' on our face
So come take your place on the side of love
And swallow up your ego and your pride for love
Can't wait 'till you the next man
Blue sky, devil eye
Cyanide, suicide
Double down, let it ride
Lose your money, bruise your pride
Easy came, easy went
Ghetto slums, tenements
Things look real, Old Testament
Blame it all on the president
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon, you silly fools, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
Poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer
Youthanize, youth will rise
Scrutinize, truth from lies
Time to revolutionize
Organize, weaponize
Easy come, easy go
Think I'm movin' just a little bit too slow
Got front row tickets to the big freak show
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to blow
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon, you silly fools, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
Poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer
Homicide, genocide
Victimize, paralyze
Empathize and analyze
Compromise and vandalize
Easy come, hard to take
Wide awake, the original fake
Find the heart, drive the stake
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to break
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon, you silly fools, he's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich, they get richer, the poor, they get poorer
Dollar dollar bills
Deutch, marks, franks, yens, and pounds
I rock the jocked up sounds
From Devenshire Downs
Out the Fordham Road
Up top in the boogie
I be loyal to my peeps
Like budha stud doogie
Never very bad news
Payin' crazy dues
I'm blowin' out crews
And tamin' mad shrews
Like Bill Shakespeare
The fakes will disappear
The flavor in your ear
Is strong like Everclear
Two hundred proofs
So put the match to the roof
And set this bitch on fire
Get rich, the empire's
About to strike back
If you rock the mic wack
And that's the way it is 'cause yo
It's like that
Money, money y'all
It be the root of all evil
Money, money y'all
It makes you popular with people
I go back to the 80's
Like three times a lady
When it was pussy for free
And crack for currency
It just occurred to me
It's time for surgery
I remove MC's like tumors
The lies and the rumors
Got me thinkin' of this dub
By Timex Social Club
Yo, word to my momma
I'm high off the trauma
Whitey Ford gets deeper than subway trains
And I serve lazy fools like fast food chains
All pain no gain
Makes the brain insane
Life in the fast laneT
he flakesThe cash gains (for real)
Dollar bill y'all
Dollar bill y'all
Dollar dollar dollar dollar dollar bill y'all
It takes money
to get that fly ass ho
It takes money
to see me rock a live show
It takes money
to get that last bag of smoke
Cause they kindly take from it when that ass was broke
Hey yo I'm about to g-off
Just like my name was Ed-o
Black kids call me whitey
Spanish kids wetto
White kids call me the king of this b-boy thing
If it's broke then fix it
If it's wack remix it
Can't none of you MC's ever fuck with these
You be crazy on my dick
Like some porno chick
For the style that I'm blessin'
Ain't no second guessin'
Kid heed the lesson, subtraction, addition
Reward for submissionA
in't no debate
Won't stop till I'm eatin' off a platinum plate
I want the stocks and bonds
Plus the real estate
I want the iron gates
And low interest rates
Plus a fly little spot to bring all my dates
A little stash of the cash put aside in a safe
When times get lean
Y'all know what I mean
Money money y'all
Some be callin' it cream
Money money y'all
Some be callin' it fame
Money money y'all
But once I get it I'm J
I want cash and checks
I want diamond rings
I want jewels on my neck
And mad fly things
I want a stack of fat chips
So I can take long trips
I want to sail the Bahamas
On my own cruise ships
I want acres of landI
want papers in hand
I want stocks and bonds
All pros no cons
Hey if it smells funny
Then back it up honey
I want the money y'all
Maybe
Maybe you could take a lil' piece of my pain
Maybe you can make it all feel the same
Maybe you can burn this night in my brain
Maybe you can find someone else to blame
For all this pain…
Maybe
Maybe you could tell me about your worst fear
Don't say it out loud, whisper in my ear
Ain't never felt nothing' like this here
Maybe you can see things a lil' more clear
Dry away your tear
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my name…a piece of my pain
Maybe
Maybe we can talk about all my dreams
Watch them all come apart at the seams
Sometimes when it rains it really teams
Sometimes they cut diamonds with laser beams…..whatever that means
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my time…that would be fine
Maybe
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my name…a piece of my pain
All my money's spent
All my prayers been said
Walking up that hill
Legs are nearly dead
It won't be long at all
Heartbeats tick away
Feel it in my bones
Will I see the day,
Pay off all these loans?
It won't be long at all
It won't be long at all
Long and winding roads
I walked 'em all in vain
When that trumpet blows
Hope they call my name
Won't be long at all
Put your rifles down
Abandon all your arms
Sing your prayers out loud
The Gospel's in your song
Cuz it won't be long at all
No it won't be long at all
It won't be long at all
Stop your warring ways
Only kill your?
Pollute your seasoned skies
Kindness to your mom
It won't be long at all
It won't be long at all
Teach your children well
Beg them to be kind
Cuz they'll be running shit
When you're old, deaf, dumb, and blind.
And it won't be long at all
No, it won't be long at all
It won't be long at all
Too much time, thinkin' 'bout all of my mistakes
My heart, my mind, my soul, my body aches
I hunger for the loving arms of your embrace
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I'll carry the load
I'm on the grind, in time I'll pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
Too much time, thinkin' 'bout everything that went wrong
I cry my eyes out every time I hear your song
I hope this path leads me back where I belong
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I'll carry the load
I'm on the grind, in time I'll pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
Too much pride for me to up and take the blame
Deep inside, girl, it's killin' me with pain
Every night when I sleep I call your name
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I'll carry the load
I'm on the grind, in time I'll pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I'll carry the load
I'm on the grind, in time I'll pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
Sittin' restless under the moonlight
I know I'm gettin' ready to kill
They say we're goin' in with the daylight
Ma I don't want to but I will
'Cause I don't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men I kill
I pray to God for my salvation
Wash away the blood I spilled
I try not to think about my family
'Cause it's a little too much to take
Out here I got me and I got my buddy
We can't afford even one mistake
Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard
It's the only paper that I could find
Tell everyone I got their letters
Tell everyone I'm doin' fine
Late at night when I can dream, Ma
I think about life back in the world
I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah
I miss my wife and my baby girl
Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma
Pray for me and all my sins
They say that I got a job to do now
And I'll be back when it finally ends
Do you think I should be fighting?
Ma are you proud, are you ashamed
Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing
I hope my government can say the same
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men I kill
We all wind up on the same side
'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's will
Yeah that's her
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
All the broken hearts
And the unpaid dues
What you did to me
What I did to you
I ain't mad at you, boo
So what we gonna do
I just seen you out with your new man
It's lookin' kind of happy
I'm feelin' like somebody just slapped me
My gut's in a knot
My temp's gettin' hot
I wanna make that man bleed
And wear this speed knot
'Cause he ain't got what we had
And it makes me kind of mad
I hurt my one true love
Just like my dad
And it's kinda sad
'Cause now my shit's together
No need for umbrellas
I can see the stormy weather
I'm goin' outside into the rain
Like Keith Sweat
'Cause I can't house this pain
We was workin' for years
Now I'm jerkin' these tears
From my lips to God's ears, girl
I did you wrong
So I'm makin' this song
To let you know how I feel
Before I'm keepin' it real
May keep my heart concealed
And now I'm on the side
Just patiently waitin'
Watchin' on you when the time for updatin'I can't hide from the truth
I know the puddin's in the proof
So I stand convicted like all your friends predicted
But I'd think you'd be surprised
On how this ends brothers
We went from lovers to friends
We'll go from friends to lovers
So if that man make you smile
I guess that I'll
Just accept it
And respect it
I'll hit you with this song
And let you think about it
Then I'll just leave you alone
You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it
Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme
My name is Everlast and yo, I'm always on time
I got what it takes to make this groove complete
When my DJ cuts he never misses a beat
I'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with me
I'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D
Terry B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool Nick
Kid Jazz, Scratch, Bangle and Cut Master Quick
I worked hard and long to master this traight
And to quote my other song, yo, I'm just out to get paid
So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
Everlast is in effect, gettin' full respect
I collect big checks, 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 100 G's
I'm pullin' honey's left and right, day and night
You gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sight
There all on my tip to get a sip of this poetic performer
I can get whipped but I'm out to get paid, not to get laid
All across the country my records gettin' played
The radio stations, clubs and renkores
All the shows I play I make them do encores
So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
Ah yeah, hit me, check this out
Step up place your bet and I'll serve your fortune
But first I must issue just one word of caution
Dope lyric presentations are my soul notiriety
Everlast is on the rise movin' through society
My voice is moist resighting choice vocals
Respected world wide and feared by locals
Poppin' junk out your punk mouth
Makin' bets it's too late for regrets
It's time to pay your debts, E V E R L A S T
It's the name that I fed a poetic demigod with skin that is fare
So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
Now there are too many people in this world tryin' to play me
Like I'm some kind of sucker constantly they disobey me
Tellin' me what's sellin', what kinda records be charted
Sound like him sound like her her but they all sound retarded
Takin' very little time to write down a rhyme
It's confusing to see so many people so fly
Some think that it's a sell out rhymin' to this beat
But Everlast takes any groove and makes it sound complete
Hey, yo yo Everlast.
What up?
This is big Guru from the Gangstarr, you know what I'm sayin'?
Just checkin' in on ya.
Yo, I heard about your accident, I want
to know if you're still breathin'?
So get at it brother, you know
how to reach me, kid.
Word is bond, man. I miss ya.
They go one for the Prophet, two for Islam
Three for the Khutbah from the Imam
Four for the mother that birthed my frame
Five for the father 'cause he taught me game
Been 'round the world, songs are all the same
Sometimes when I'm asleep I still call your name
Back when I was young I used to dream of fame
Now they all point they fingers sayin' who's to blame
Mothers put their girls into pigtail curls
Fathers teach their sons how to shoot their guns
They say, "Boy don't never cry control your emotions
Just take it like a man, make your stand"
They say, "Sex and violence go hand in hand"
For every man blessed there got to be ten damned
Expand through the depths of space and time
Standin' three eyes blind on the firing line
Word to my man divine, come too far, singin'
"La ilaha illa Allah"
Twelve rakats short on my full day's prayer
Just hoping that the lord got some mercy to spare
They go one for the Ummah, two for the deen
Three for the angels, four for the alamin'
Somewhere between totally obscene
And perfectly clean, got a Babylon feelin'
Wounds that need healin', truth need revealin'
Hands need washin' from all the dirty dealin'
From the floor to the ceilin', from the stage to the door
From the kings and the queens and the slaves and the whores
For every lost cause where the martyrs are found
That funky little sound, that make you want to get down
Somebody told me once, love makes the world go round
Now kids they carry pistols out on the playground
That profound, gone too far, praying to the light from a burned out star
Put your lights on, put down your crosses
It's time to tally up your wins and your losses
They go one for Scott La Rock, two for Pac and B.I.G.
And three for all the mothers who got graves to dig
For all the mothers who got graves to dig
I was foolish cause I loved her so
Never put no one else above her, no
She put it on me like no other did before
Now she telling me that she wants to go
She said she got dreams and she won't make fights
She say that she can act and she wants to sign
Wants to build herself a rep, make herself a name
I tell you girl, game recognizes game
And I'll be good when you're gone forever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone forever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good, for good, gone for good
You say you wanna be loved but wouldn't teach me how
Girl I don't even know how to reach you now
You say you wanna love but wouldn't speak no vow
Girl you ain't the one that can break me down
Take all of my love and then you spread it around
Girl I don't even know how to greet you now
I hope maybe you choke, I hope maybe you drown
I say, hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
And I'll be good when you're gone forever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone forever
Yeah I'll be fine when you're gone for good
For good, gone for good
God Wanna
I said God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
Come on, bounce, rock, skate
Tune in, drop out, de-motivate
Renegotiate for the proper rate
Somethin' to push weight, have to go up state
And fuckin' jailbait is statutory rape
And don't you never get your ass caught on tape
This ain't New York, there ain't no escape
And Superman's just another pimp in a cape
And even if both your eyes come up snake
It's time to get wise, rise and cut the cake
It don't take much for the Earth to quake
So watch what you clutch when you on the tape
I'm trin to tell ya
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
I don't know where I'm going, I hardly know where I've been
The only thing I know for sure, the party's bout to begin, you got it
Thousand angels dancing, all on the head of a pin
Some people live in righteousness, and some people live in sin, you got it
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
Everybody jump in Lord, everybody jump in
Everybody jump in Lord, everybody jump in, you got it
Yo I'm a pimp, I'm a thief, I'm a killer, I'm a dealer
I'm a Holy man preacher, I'm a teacher, I'm a healer
I'm a mover, I'm a shaker, I'm a giver, I'm a taker
I'm a long time bonafide big money maker
I'm a winner, I'm a loser, I'm a begger, I'm a choser
I'm a thug, I'm a poser, I'm a chronic drug user
I've been rapping, I've been mixing, I'm fact and then I'm fiction
I'm a walkin' talkin' livin' breathin' contradiction
I'm working for my God but I'm playing with the devil
Don't act like you can see me cause I'm on another level
I'm a mic burner, not a trick turner
I'll act like Ike Turner, then I'll treat you like Tina
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna wear my skin
Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it
God wanna fill my heart, the devil wanna take my soul
Gotti got a broken heart, party's gotten out of control, you got it
The party's gotten out of control, y'all
The party's gotten out of control
The party's gotten out of control, y'all
Get down, get down, get down
I see everybody rockin' the same old style
And everyone's sportin' the same profile
And all of y'all wearin' the same name brands
I hear everybody jackin' these played out jams
I won't reach for no gun, punk, I use my hands
I rock mikes and roll bikes
I cross foreign landsI made my bones out in zones
Where the twilight be
And every time I touch a micI
t's Fright Night Part Three
For every MC that wanna test and try
In your custom made wears
Thinkin' you too fly
Makin' up in gold chains
What you're lackin' for brains
It's time to call your ma, Duke
Scoop up your remains
And finally lay to rest all the shit you stressed
Of boastin' and braggin' about the toes you taggin'
I'm knock knock knockin' on heaven's door
While every rapper that you simmed
Is pimped like a whore
You see your talk is eighteen
Three quarters past four
When your doctor slaps my assH
ear the lion roar
The record sales soared
And the world got toured
You say what happened to my band
I say I just got bored
Now they call me Whitey Ford
And I say praise the Lord
Find me breakin' up your crews
Catch me singin' the blues
Strummin' and pickin' like I'm BB King
It's Abdul Rakim
Now watch me do my thing
Down down, you go
Down down, so low
Down down, till you hit the floor
Keep fallin' down, till you can't get down no more
You go point blank range
With the scope he's knockin'
The Psycho might change
But there ain't no stoppin'
The moon's on the rise
When the sun start droppin'
And y'all need to quit the bullshit you poppin'
'Cause I've been hip hoppin' since BDP
Rock the P it's free
It's Abdul Rakim
And when referring to me
You best respect the name
Make a quick double take
And double check your game
'Cause you about to get dissed
I'm checkin' my list
When I check it over twice
It's like rollin' the dice
I hit four-five-six I'm all up in your mix
I rock good from Hollywood
To the City of Bricks
And all these fake cats scream they're keepin' it real
While you're makin' your deal
We'll be breakin' the seal
You be breakin' your vows
Like people worshippin' cows
And then I hit ya with the who's, what's, where's and how's
Like Vinny Barbarino
Matt Gachino
I'm with my man Rino
With the Brooklyn Lordz
Crashin' the boards with my soul in a hole
I take it back to the future
From the days of old
I'm too cold to hold
Too hot not to burn ya
Don't stick your nose in business that don't concern ya
Might have to trip
And flip like Ike Turner
There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told
It's incurable
There's a darkness in my heart
Slowly tearin' me apart
It's unbearable
Drop of blood, a lake of tears
And baby, after all these years
You're still beautiful
And I've been loved and I've been used
Cut wide open, scarred and bruised
I'm unbreakable
Flesh, it heals I know
Hearts, they never mend
Lovers come and go, girl
Right now I need a friend
Walk for miles, talk for days
And I keep trying to change my ways
It's so difficult
You kick and scream
You curse and yell
Tell me I should go to hell
It's so typical
Touch my heart
Feel my pain
Let me know I'm not insane
You're so merciful
Break your heart, I cheat, I lie
And honestly I don't know why
I'm so pitiful
Flesh, it heals I know
Hearts, they never mend
Lovers come and go, girl
Right now I need a friend, yeah
There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told
It's incurable
There's darkness in my heart
That's slowly tearin' me apart
It's unbearable, yeah
Flesh, it heals I know
Hearts, they never mend
Lovers come and go, girl
Right now I need a friend, yeah
Right now I need a friend
There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told
Who you trying to get crazy with Whitey
Don't you know I'm loco?
I hear that train a-comin'
Comin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
Time keeps draggin' on
Andthat train just keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
From a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking whiskey
And smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming
I know I can't be free
Those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I'd probably move it just a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I long to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow out my blues away
Please, please, please don't
Leave me now, girl
After all I've done for you
On my knees here
Let's work it out, woman
After all that we've been through
I told you that everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh, young people try
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Hush your mouth, girl
And settle down, woman
'Cause you don't make no sense
Make up your mind, girl
And come around now
Come down from off that fence
Don't you know everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh, young people try
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Watch your temper, girl
And calm your nerves down
Better watch how you react
Put your hands down
And back up off me, woman
'Cause you might get touched back
I told you that everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh and young people try
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh and young people try
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers, they know when they look in your eyes
When they look in your eyes
When they look in your eyes
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, I want my ends
Cat named Darrell, he didn't have a dollar
He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar
Had a Ph.D., had an M.B.A.
But now he's waiting tables 'cause it's rent to pay
Companies downsizing, inflation's rising
Can't find a job, he's feeling kind of stressed
Don't even feel the effects when he says
Forgot to count how many times I've been blessed
So falls off track, starts smoking the Crack
And once it hits his brain, starts a chain react
Sells the shirt off his back, shoes off his feet
He's losing all his teeth, now he's out in the street
And all of sudden he's like, Jesse James
Trying to stick up kids for their watches and chains
But he's from Business School, he's nervous with the tool
So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool for the ends
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, want my ends
I knew this chick named Sally, she had a nice strut
Everywhere that I went, she was on the cut
Swinging that butt like place your ad here
Only rapped the Benz and rocked the fly gear
Brand name wearing, champagne waving
Jewels around her neck, lotta style she's craving
Ain't no saving, she's doing enough spending
You do the lending, she'll do the bending
Straight machine vending, it's money for take
Shopping sprees get her on her knees
Hit her with the keys of your crib, you acting funny
Come home one day, find her counting out your money
From the Wetlands to the way to the Apollo
If you're broke she'll spit, you're rich
She might swallow for the ends
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
The rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, want my ends
I knew those two homeboys, who made a lot of noise
Making money on the block, kids was on they jock
They were tougher than leather like Reverend Run
DMC, they was toting guns
And holdin' weight, goin' out of state
Stackin' mad chips and pushin' phat whips
Fly jewels, golds, got no job
And one disappeared, one got robbed for the ends
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
The rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, I want my ends
I said, I want my ends
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
And I'm so dirty
Call me daddy
You're so sexy
You can be my bad girl
If someone hurt you
And you tried to hide it
I'll cut you deeper
'Cause I know you like it
Pain I got, girl
Can satisfy you
But I can't love you
I won't even try to
And that junkie urge
Deep down inside you
Couldn't keep my secret
But I know you'd like to
Girl, you never gon' get
Love from a heart of stone
Some of us were just plain
Meant to be alone

Soul Assassins, two-thousand, word
It goes somethin' like this
Ah-ha, I'm Vision-Quest, Fresh Fest era terror
Krush Groovin like a low budget movie
I'm Wild Style like Lee Quinones, stop ridin' on my cajones
I talk with a speak that's much unique
While you desperately seek for that Susie freak
Yo, word to Rob One he used to like the big ladies
My name's Everlast I started back in the 80's like
All up in your nostril, actin' hostile, 13th appostile
Going postal, holy ghost mode
While you walkin' on the host strow actin' bicoastal (???)
Bitch, try to play the middle, snitch, wind up in the hospital
Cat on a hot tin roof with no fiddle
Put your money in the middle get broke like coal
Two deadly assassins makin' the ???
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm takin' 'em all
Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
Two deadly assassins seelin' your fate
I spit out the fire you won't know what hit
Watch me lace you up quicker than the joint gets lit
I got tears in this shit what do you got a couple
If you gotta hustle, what do you want, trouble
Jokin' (???) at the two who go way back like chucks (???) (way back)
With a hand on the pump by the big black trucks (fools)
You can't trust a soul in the City of Angels
The strange hoes want a piece look at these lame hoes (???)
I stained those with hot blood and changed clothes (???)
And main fools who wanna rock the same clothes (???)
And use the same flows, these son originals (???)
Niggas, all of a sudden if anyone wants to run up (???)
You get chastised and baptised and blood (???)
When the gat lies it don't matter, you scatter (???)
You run, you ungrateful most hateful leech niggas (???)
Swollow in your misery I'm out of reach niggas (???)
Two deadly assassins makin' the ???
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm ready to brawl
Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
Two deadly assassins seelin' your fate
Two deadly assassins makin' the ???
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm takin' 'em all
Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
You're the air that I breathe
The sun when it breaks through the clouds
You're all that I need
But I know that you're having some doubts
I'm down on my knees
I pray you'll stick this out
Beggin' you please girl
I'm sorry I let you down
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
It's so hard to speak
I can barely look you in the eye
It's so hard to breathe
I know I ain't afraid to die
Your breath is so sweet
Your kisses could get me high
My heart is so weak
But your loving could get me by
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
Girl what about you
What about you girl
I met a woman in West Virginia
Said her name was Alabama
She from a little town outside Savannah
Where everyone talk that country grammar
She said she killed a man down in Atlanta
He beat her and he drank til he couldn't stand up
He told her that he loved her but he couldn't stand her
She caught him in his sleep hit him with a hammer
Then she sold her car and she bought a gun
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun
Blinded by the sun...
Her breathe was sweet, her eyes were pretty
She said her zodiac sign was cancer
She was on her way to New York City
Trying to get a job there as a dancer
Then she asked if she could ride home with me
Now I'm still thinking on the answer
She pulled on love... She don't take pity
She'll break your heart if you give her the chance to
If Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun, blinded by the sun
Sun...sun...sun
Lord have mercy on me for all the things I've done
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Don't forsake me Lord I'm not the only one
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Blinded by the sun
And Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another Broken bottle and the damage done
Straight out the casket, risin' up
Open up your eyes, can't you see me
What the fuck is this, madness
Pick up my bones, erase my name from off the tombstones
Alive and kickin', breathin' the air
Call out my name punk and I'll be there
No question, my suggestion to the action
Caught smack dab in the middle of the blastin'
Messin' with me, you're messin' with the best
Blough, you're takin' two shots to the chest
CHORUS
'Cause I'm back from the dead
Everlast's comin' back from the dead (back from the dead)
You know I'm back from the dead
And I'll put a friggin' hole in your head
Back from the dead
Back from the dead
You can't disrespect it, I'm the resurrected
Back from the dead, just to mess with your head
I'll stress what I said, but I won't repeat it
If you've got a cold, starve it
If you've got a fever, feed it
And if you can't feed it, then why not blow
You might be positive and not even know
I rock the hardcore from the floor to the ceilin'
I give sexual healin', I'll get your girlie squealin'
Like a pig, my grave's somethin' you can never dig
I'll rock a mausoleum, backyard or colosseum
CHORUS II
'Cause I'm back from the dead
Everlast's comin' back from the dead (back from the dead)
You know I'm back from the dead
House of Pain's in effect, 'nuff said
Skip the autopsy, 'cause I never O.D.'d
I only puff boom kid I never get skeemed
I don't sniff or shoot up, rip I'll stick my boot up
Your ass quick fast Everlast don't jive
Just like Pearl Jam, I'm still alive
Spreadin' like tumors, gossip and lies
Exaggerated reports of my demise, and if you believed'em
Well then you got gassed, the media deceived'em
Just like in the past
CHORUS
Like Steven Segal I'm hard to kill
And like G.G. Allen I'm crazy ill
I'll beat ya down with my mic
Kick your ass with my Nike
Bust ya in the eye if ya tell another lie
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Thinkin' I'm dead you must be smokin' dust
Come see me bust in the flesh it's a must
CHORUS II
My heart is broke, my will is gone
Fell in love with a woman named Babylon
She hook me to the gills all of her forbidden thrills
I call her baby for short then I ramble on
She'll forget about me
My soul is high, my mind is free
Met a shorty with some back call her Destiny
She showed me all my fates, my stream of conscious navigates
I orbit around the sun at high velocity
Don't forget about me, don't forget about
Sweet things won't you save my soul
Pretty lady, won't you take me home
...tonight
My arms are heavy, my body's tense
Got the hot's for this honey named Confidence
She points out all of my flaws, breaking all of her favorite laws
Never speaks a word in my defense, just forget about me
My spirit's weak, my lust will thrive
Got a thing for this bitch said her name's a lie
She controls me with her fear, my prayers fall on her cold deaf ear
She says have a good time and take your dive
Just forget about me, just forget about
Sweet things, won't you save my soul (yeah)
Pretty lady, won't you take me home
Sweet thing won't you save my soul (yeah)
Pretty lady won't you take me home...tonight
I've got a Babylon feelin', I've got a Babylon feelin'
I've got a Babylon feelin', I'm feelin' Babylon
My heart is broke, my will is gone
Fell in love with a woman named Babylon
She hook me to the gills, all of her forbidden thrills
I call her baby for short then I ramble on, and I ramble on
I've got a Babylon feelin', I've got a Babylon feelin'
Ha Ha
Whitey Ford
X-ecutioners Style
MC am I
People call me "Ev"
When I'm busting up the party hear my engine rev
With high resolution in the late p.m.
X-Men scratch this beat while I drop this gem
Got tints on my window so you can't see in
"Pack it up, pack it in" baby once again
Ain't no way to check me (check me)
No way to wreck me (wreck me)
When shit gets hectic if you disrespect me
While you stare at my knife imma see my life
On the top of the mall, kid can build me right
You know it ain't right, but yo it's ok
Cuz see
This type of shit happens every day
Cuz see
This type of shit happens every day
(X-Men.. Everlast)
You know
This type of shit happens every day
It go
One for the thugs
Two for the chickens
Peckerwoods stats classic like Slim Pickins
Cut the democrats and republicans
Got all your cars bouncing like a bunch of mexicans
Quarterrock style, I "Touch" you like Tony
You claim you keeping it real but still coming out phoney
Just one MC and four DJs
Give them six turntables and a mic to blaze
Now imma set it like Run
In the house of Fun
I burn hotter than the heat that's made by sun
Got a gun and a uzi
But it weighs a ton
It's B-Boy Punk Rock 2001
It's B-Boy Punk Rock 2001
(X-Men..Everlast)
It's B-Boy Punk Rock 2001
The world keeps spinning
X-Men keep winning
X-Men keep winning
X-Men keep winning
It's B-Boy Punk Rock 2001
I got my pick up truck and I got my gun
And I got a taste for whiskey and pills
I know I'm kinda fucked 'cause I'm my father's son
And I gotta hole in my heart I can't fill
Turn off the parking lights
Down by the river's edge
This is my darkest night, girl
You're swimming in my head
It happens all the time
I blow it every time
People change with time
Call me anytime, girl
I miss you, oh, so often
And what's been said is done
It's my only option
Girl, I'll be anyone for you
Anyone
Out on the interstate
Play my radio and I confessed all my sins
Been driven seven hours
Still got three to go
It always ends where it begins
You got your broken wings
I got my sewn up heart
Girl, all these fucked up things
They keep us torn apart
It happens all the time
I blow it every time
People change with time
Call me anytime, girl
I miss you, oh, so often
What's been said is done
(Said is done)
It's my only option
I'll kill anyone for you
Anyone, anywhere, anytime for you
Anyone, anywhere, anytime for you
Anyone, anywhere, anytime for you
Gets all my love (4x)
Pick up the pace, keep it, freak it
Can ya keep a secret, so can I
Why ask why, try Bud dry
I get fly smokin' a thai, puffin' a blunt
Tokin' a spliff, stoppin' any crew that tries to rip
The House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Funkdoobiest
My girl's on the pill, so I can drill, and not have to kill
An unborn child cause that's just wild
I felt the pain, I built the house
All respect due to Mickey Mouse
Club, I'm rhymin' on the dub
Switch off the track so I can shout out my love
Yeah, you know my mother, she gets all my love
My sister Cassandra, my neice Jessica Rose
They get all my love, Danny Boy gets all my love

Cypress Hill, they get all my love

2 pieces of drama
The hammer's bout' to fall
2 pieces of drama
there's gunplay in the hall
2 pieces of drama
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire
2 pieces of drama
Boy you know not to play with fire
He rocks a big ?? caber
A ping pong table for a ring
He's mentally unstable
To him murder it ain't no thing
He'll do you dirty style
He's holding dirty bile
He's out pumping on the corner
Trying to stay warm
And keep it cool like Miles
He keeps it fundamental
He's got the jeans and the bubblegoose on
There's murder on his mental
He's got the deuce deuce in his palm
And y'all know the fable
How cain did able
Ever since the beginning
The world keeps pinning just like a turntable
2 pieces of drama
The hammer's bout' to fall
2 pieces of drama
there's gunplay in the hall
2 pieces of drama
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire
2 pieces of drama
Boy you know not to play with fire
La la la la la la la la
When it's selling out back
Likes to pump crack
To the fiends that be getting high
He keeps his hand on the pump
He's ready to dump
On any chump that would even try
He got a finger on the trigger
He ain't scared to pull it
Head full of liquor
Boy you might catch a bullet
They're holes in stable
Drugs on the table
Everybody's sitting round
Watching cops on the cable
Dressed like a slob
Keeps his hair braided
He's never been robbed,
He's only been raided.
He's never known joy
The boy is so jaded
He's never been loved
He's only been hated
His soul's on ice
His heart is stone
Just another dead king
Rotting on his throne
With a pain that would
Cut you down to the bone
You're born alone
Boy you die alone
2 pieces of drama
The hammer's bout' to fall
2 pieces of drama
there's gunplay in the hall
2 pieces of drama
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire

Girl, I wanna die in yer arms tonight
I really don't care about the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe
I think I'm gonna pick me some and take me a bite
Baby girl, looks so good, she walks so mean
Got a vicious little sway, I think she's semi-obscene
She'll pick your bones clean, oh, my God, she's so fine
She's sweeter than the dew out on the grapes on the vine
I'ma pick her, I'ma squeeze her, I'ma make me some wine
I'ma drink her till I'm a crazy, I'ma drink till I'm blind
I'ma touch her so good, I'ma treat her so fine
I'm gonna make love to her soul, I'm gonna fuck all with her mind
Girl, I wanna die in yer arms tonight
I really don't care about the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe
I think I'm gonna pick me some and take me a bite
Baby girl, acts so proper, like daddy's little daughter
A wolf in sheep's clothing, leading lambs out to the slaughter
She's looking so young, she's smelling so pretty
She's a junkie on a binge and her drug is the city
She's a vicious little bitty, attitude is shitty
If I get my way she's probably gonna come home with me
Talk ain't good for nothing, eyes are made for crying
Bombs are made for dropping, girl, yer arms were made for dying
Girl, I wanna die in yer arms tonight
I really don't care about the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe
I think I'm gonna pick me some and take me a bite
Girl, I wanna die in yer arms tonight
I really don't care about the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe
I think I'm gonna pick me some and take me a bite
Die in yer arms tonight
Care about the wrong or right
Forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe
Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Ford, Ford.
Whitey, Whitey, Whitey, Ford, Ford.
The white boy is back
And you know he could never be wack.
The white boy is back.
The white boy is back.
With his foot up in your ass crack.
The white boy is back.
(Cuz you know he's the white boy.)
The white boy is back.
And you know that he never smoked crack.
The white boy is back.
(Cuz you know he's the white boy...)
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone
I was always thinking of games that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
{Chorus}
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
{Chorus}
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Watchin' the sunshine, peekin' over the skyline
Thinkin' I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time
Wanna get near it, close enough to fear it
Close enough to hear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then I turned away
No I'm not scared
(No I'm not scared)
But I can't
I'm not scared
(I'm not scared)
But I can't move
Hangin' out on the weeknight, lookin' off the street light
Gettin' into some fist fight, tryin' to cling to my birth right
I wanna get near her, close enough to smell her
Close enough to tell her all the things that I wanna say
That I looked her in the eye, made her run away
And I don't care
(Don't care)
But I can't move
I don't care
(I don't care)
But I can't move
Layin' up in the sofa, lookin' out of my window
Pullin' back on some endo, watchin' breeze as the wind blow
Wanna get near it, close enough to hear it
Close enough to fear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then it turned away
And I'm not scared
(Not scared)
I can't move
I'm not scared
(I'm not scared)
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us just don't know where to begin
Guilty hearted pleasures, may contain some unorthodox measures
Can't help losing even if you win
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us live, and all of us die
And some of us laugh at the others who cry
Broken hearted sorrow, got you thinkin like there ain't no tomorrow
Some of us can't look each other in the eye
Some of us live, and all of us die
And some of us give, and some of us take
And some of us just lie in the beds that we make
Hearts all torn and busted, double thinkin everybody you trusted
Can't always fix everything you break
And some of us give, and some of us take
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
And most of us just don't know where to begin
These guilty hearted pleasures, may contain some unorthodx measures
Can't help but lose even if you win
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can´t rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Yo, it´s like resident evil
The emperor's people don´t give a mad fuck about your life
They'll fuck your wife and your kids, they've got people doing bids
For being slaves to the dope that they supplying
Still they keep lying
And tell you that it´s some cartel
While they waiting on the heaven they're creating the hell
And they rape the constitution while you wait in your cell
And for the victors go the spoils and
that´s oil wells, call Orson Wells
'Cause the world's at war
And the front-line is just outside your front door
Fuck the New York Times and fuck CNN
And politicians that pretend to be the working man's friend
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can´t rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Yo, the emperor's a liar, the fields are on fire
Oil prices get higher, time's about to expire
Hurricane Katrina and Asian tsunamis
Adolescent mommies and high school snipers
Final days are coming, get ready for trial
Americans, they live in fifty states of denial
Have a coke and a smile or some crack in a vial
You can even buy a pill to keep you hard for a while
For these girls gone wild in this world at war
it´s the same old whores, it´s the new crusade
Yo, the plan been made, they lied to invade
I´m on the palace lawn with my live grenade 'Cause
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can´t rise, silence every mother's cries
They say everything's fine, down where the red light shine
once the junkies have all gone to bed
And once the sun rises, you run out of surprises
and the drugs they sold have cleared from your head
Tight ass nubbin, push come to shovin
Throw so money on the table cover last night's lovin
Got the soul of a whore, got the heart of a lonely man
If I ain't fuckin things up, I do the very best that I can
Just like a lamb to the slaughter, a horse to the water
I only wanna drink if I know I shouldn't oughta
I'm a scared little boy, and I'm really one hell of a man
And I'm a junkie for the lovin touch of a stranger's hand
They say everything's love up in the heavens above
but here on Earth you must atone for your sins
Ain't no room for budgin once the law starts judgin
He's just countin up losses and wins
That's how you play the game, but still all the same
they say it's only cheatin if you get caught
So you runnin wild sinnin, you're smilin and yo' grinnin
with all that trick knowledge you bought
You got the mind of a leper, and the soul of a tortured king
And it's all breakin down and that's the truly unfortunate thing
While you're fightin for survival, I'm feelin sacrificial
Got a brand new rifle girl it's government issue
Got a heart full of stone, got an eye that's about to take aim
And every fuckin person up on Twitter is gonna speak my name
Cause they all gone stupid, they all got lazy
They worship all the money and they idolize the crazy
Everybody wants to go to heaven but everyone's afraid to die
And what if God is real but religion's all just one big lie?
The bar set lower, temperature's higher
Government man keep calling my house
Talking ‘bout I owe, harassing my spouse
Gotta park my truck on another block
Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock
Gotta couple good friends with helping hands
I need a brand new job with a health care plan
They closed the plant, they stole my job
Told me crime don't pay unless you ask the mob
So I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine
Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time
And every single day I fall a little more behind
But I'm paying it no mind, it'll all be fine
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by
It's on and on till the brake of dawn
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Yes yes y'all and it never stops
I don't trust the government, I don't trust no cops
We dip and we dive and we socialize
We struggle and we strive just to stay alive
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
When I finally get home I can't relax
Cause I've been over worked and I've been over taxed
My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed
And I ain't looking for no pity, I'm just stating the facts
I voted for some change and it's kinda strange
"No" it's all I got in my pocket
I bought a few led's, now I'm growing some trees
And it's a sweet fucking hustle don't knock it
I told y'all before I would break the law
To put some food in my baby girl's belly
Cause the senator man took a bribe in hand
And went and shipped my job to New Delhi
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by
It's on and on till the brake of dawn
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Yes yes y'all and it never stops
I don't trust the government
I don't trust no cops
I dip and I dive and I socialize
I struggle and I strive just to stay alive
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
With a soft underbelly
And a hardened heart
They say you've got to be tough
If you ain't that smart
I'm sitting here alone
Waiting for my phone to ring
Run out of time
Run out of hope
The boys on the corner never run out of dope
I keep myself high
So I can keep doing my thing
They say "Stupid is as stupid does
And everything's the same as it ever was"
I drink myself blind
Trying to find a new song to sing
Time is money,
And money talks
Bartender, pour me one more whiskey on the rocks
While i try to understand
Why every man wants to be king
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(when you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(you can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(wears the crown)
With a sweet disposition
And an iron will
A couple nice cars
And a house on a hill
my back account's full
But my soul is still empty and cold
All the money and the clothes
And the sold out shows
Don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you
And your home is just a house
When you're sitting there alone and you're old
I heard love is a game
I heard love is a rock
And I heard love is a house on a dead end block
But the ending keeps changing every time that the story gets told
Some pray for money
Some pray for rain
And some are just praying for relief from the pain
But some of us will buy
Just about anything we can be sold
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(when you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(you can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(wears the crown)
I'm a mean old dog
Got a big old gun
I'm a proud new papa
I'm an only son
I'm a beggar
I'm a thief
I'm a liar and a cheater too
I've been around the block
I've been around the sun
I've been up
I've been down
I've been over and done
I've seen the bottom of the pile
And the mountain top
Either will do
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(when you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(you can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
It's been too long baby what went wrong
Tell me how it got spoilt
Tell me when it went bad
How to get back to the times that we had
We're both young
And our spirits are old
Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away
You were 18 I just turned 29
I was fresh out the coffin and
Girl you were so fine
The future was bright
The world, it seemed new
I was with some other woman
I was thinking of you
Knew how it hurts
Knew how it feels
Knew it how aches
Cos the heart never heals
We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
Taking out lumps
Took a few blows
Hit a few bumps
Had our fair share of wounds
We tried to see good
Through all of the bad
Put on our smiles
Pretend we're not sad
Gotta be tough
Gotta be strong
Gotta be right
Can't afford to be wrong
It's hard to sing the blues
When you're hearing bad news everyday
We worry too much for one couple to bear
Hunger so much for one person to care
Fooling our family
We're fooling our friends
Pray that the pain and the frustration ends
Hope is a chance
Hope is a dream
Hope is a drug
Maybe hope's a vaccine
In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
Shout at the devil
I curse the lord
Offer them everything I can afford
I'd sell out my soul
I lighten to see
Tried to be righteous
Tried to believe
Prayed every prayer
Kicked all of my highs
For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
All of my problems seem to be melting away
The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay
Mr. Whitey Ford
I see the nightmare inside
of your American Dream
I'm screaming:
bismi allah al-rahman al-raheem
with your fascist regime
and racist magazines
trying to ruin peoples livelyhood
you're all hoods
all their tricks and bedfellows
theres safety in numbers
cause some cats are fighters and
some cats are runners
big game hunters assassin made politicans
while corporate CEOs
got their ruthless ambitions
nostradamus premonitions
they see the end coming
every kid from the suburb
a hundered miles and runnin'
the influence is stunnin'
enough to make you stagger
cause prep-school Johnny
got some thug in his swagger
take seven politicians
put them in a line
take seven Hollow Points
put them in my Nine
I'll give them seven more minutes
for some prayin' time
then I'll pull back my trigger
Ride with the devil, hide with the Lord
I got no pistol, ain't got no sword
I got no army, ain't got no land
Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand
You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We'll start a new crusade, we'll start a Holy war
Don't need no orders, don't need no plan
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand
You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs
You kill our fathers, you kill our moms
Kill our brothers and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts
Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand
Blood runs the gutters, smoke fills the sky
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand
I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Yeah, I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, "Don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Oh there been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
It's all been said, it's all been done
The war is over, the battle's won
Sour grapes, sweet revenge
Heaven starts right where hell ends
She was young, seventeen
She felt so soft she smelled so clean
Her aim was true, her heart was pure...
Until the day that her daddy walked out the door
She's lookin for a man and so much more
But her Uncle Sam sent him off to war
And Little Miss America, in all of your glory
She love the paparazzi, she's tryin to sell her story
She's gonna write a movie, she wanna be a star
But Little Miss America, where did you get that scar?
Desert sun, blazin sand
Love in my heart, gun in my hand
Lost a leg, killed a man
in mortal combat, hand to hand
Saw men killed, watched men die
so many times that I can't cry
It's been eighteen months since I've seen home...
I get a purple heart, a good G.I. Loan
They say God blesses every child with his own
But we're all gonna die in the dark alone
And Little Miss America, in all of your glory
She love the paparazzi, she's tryin to sell her story
She's gonna write a movie, she wanna be a star
But Little Miss America, where did you get that scar?
Back at home, it's kind of strange
Ain't nuttin happenin, ain't nuttin changed
Same old rules, same old game
Still I'm haunted by the names
of all the friends, left behind
They weigh so heavy on my mind
At night I miss goin out on patrol...
The desert went and turned my warm heart cold
And Little Miss America, in all of your glory
She love the paparazzi, she's tryin to sell her story
She's gonna write a movie, she wanna be a star
But Little Miss America, where did you get that scar?
Where did you get the scar?
Where did you get the scar?
Where did you get the scar?
Where did you get the scar?
Where did you get the scar?
Every man's bound to fall
Every man's bound to fall
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
Every man's bound to fall
Life is short, the grind is long
Some of my very best friends are gone
My hustle's strong my money's all spent
On buying bitches titties and drugs and rent
Work a double shift grind, I can't save a dime
My daughter needs medicine I just can't afford
Bout to grab a .9, lose my mind
My insurance keeps sayin that they won't pay for it
I'll stage the heist, I'll pay the price
Don't be shocked when I turn to crime, kid
I'm goin big, I might split your wig
Cause I ain't getting knocked for no nickel'n'dime shit
All that glitters ain't all it seems
The American dream is an American scheme
What you're looking at, what you're trippin on
Who you flippin on, see what I'm grippin on
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
Every man's bound to fall
I've been breakin my neck just to live correct
Keep my head above water, living check to check
I get no respect, I got no regard
Patience is a struggle when times is hard
Paper's in the shortage, tryin to pay the mortgage
I can't get to work, they repossess my car
Bout to buy a pistol and kidnap Bristol
Tell me bitch, can you see me from your backyard?
This New World session of the Great Depression
I'm living off preemptive unchecked aggression
You're cryin and you're bitchin, know it every politician:
My family tradition is heavy ammunition
I cock the hammer, I'ma rock the vote
Got your forhead on lock, dead in my scope
Look me in the eye, what you're lying for
What you're living by, what you dyin for
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
I knew a man with a son
who bought him a gun
and learned Shorty just how to use it.
Taught him hunting and skinning
right from the begining
built himself a mighty fine killer.
But Shorty got picked on
beat on and kicked on
and all his classmates wanna punk him.
So with tears in his eye
he read "Catcher in the Rye"
and told his old man he went hunting.
And he felt so free
like his destiny
laid somewhere out on the horizon.
His heart went cold
he felt a hundred years old
and started pulling back on the trigger...
I think I'm gonna die today
and everyone who hurt me's gonna pay.
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
See me
hear me
but don't touch me
you should fear me.
Hold your life dearly
'cause I'm seriously disturbed
that's my word.
Straight to my mother
Wayne, my brother
who found another one to play soccer
'Cause I ain't the one
who put shade in your sun
and took all your shine
watch me get mine.
Feel my love burn
me for my sins.
Watch the world turn
the saga begins.
Losses and wins
angels and djinn
dancin' on top
the head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going
but I know where I've been.
I can't hear a sound
I clapped a full round
I came to get down
I came to get dirty
I came to get even...
I think I'm gonna die today
and everyone who hurt me's gonna pay.
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
I think I'm gonna die today
and everyone who hurt me's gonna pay.
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
Momma, don't cry.
Please, momma, don't cry.
Momma, don't cry

What? Did I hurt your feelings
Aah I'm supposed to be scared now right
Yo I like to dedicate this record right here to Mr. Marshall Mathers mother
Yeah here's one for your moms...
Here comes the mighty,
The one they call Whitey,

I'll smack you up shut you off like the clapper,
Who ever said you were raw son they lied,
I know that shit I spit on Dilated hurt your pride,
Screamin' on a record on how you wish I died,
But you don't want to see me on this phsyical side,
You just a fake tough guy tryin' to act hard,
But won't walk into a lobby without a body guard,
You ain't findin my car you ain't ridin' the train,
Back in the day kids like you got robbed for their chains,
Step to me like a man and the hands get slain,
Matter of fact when you see me bitch give me some brain,
Yo it's like that,
We can fight jack,
Let's put the mics down,
You'll catch a beat down,
I get love in New York,
Got fam in LA,
I heard you might be the MC thats gay,
With your platium blunt season you look like a hoe,
Like Eminem stands for Marilyn Monroe,
talkin about killin' sprees you ain't like that yo,
Making a lot of enemies that's all for show,
Your punk extesie junkie you waste of skills,
Stop ridin' my deals,
Stay high on pills,
Boy I hope you go bleed,
Don't be playin' with me,
Little bitch need to watch you sayin' to me,
Talkin' shit for shock value boy you ain't real,
Turn hard the day Dre gave you a record deal,
You went and sold your soul for some mass appeal,
Serve up that orderve kid now eat this meal,
Instead worry about who you should be dissin',
Need to worry about who your wifey been kissin',
And when go to prison while you doin' your bid,
I'll do look in on your lady and do things for your kid,
Make her write you letters about the things we did,
Send you pictures of me chillin' all up in your crib,
And that shit about Sway and Tek that was a fib,
The first time you met me I showed you love in DC,
But you were scared like a pussy with your eyes on the floor,
While your crew showed me love outside the front door,
Talkin' about hey yo what's up ain't you Whitey Ford,
i love that song what its like and jam praise the lord,
I don't do this for the money I do it for fun,
You might hang around some gangsters but you ain't one,
And you won't be slappin' me with no empty gun,
Talkin' about about a fag,
But your the one in drag,
You can't keep your woman from going a stray,
Better run and go check that kid for your DNA,
I take care of my moms,
And you get sued by yours,
What's your corny metaphors,
About drugs and crack whores,
You're a sucka
Word up for real
You wanna talk some shit money
Come talk it with the hands b
I ain't wastin' no more time with you
Fuck this shit that's it
[Everlast]
Oh this tastes like shit
Oh, that's awful
[Xzibit]
Whitey Ford takes the flows, y'all
See I'm about to have the time of my life, Bacardi on ice
Live from Los Angeles, it's Saturday night
While others staty tight we're looking for some parties to crash
I never bounce, rock and splash without my Alkaholik stash
I scooped the homie Tash, introduce me to Everlast
He know where the bitches move fast so we can have a blast
[Everlast] (Xzibit)
I think you know my man Sadat from the Nubian crew
And I can see you're rolling tight with the Likwit too, yeah
I make room for every crew whose beats be booming
I know you puffing some weed but are you down with some shrooming
(Shrooming, hell nah, that's what the white boys be doing)
I got room in the jeep, we can mash a few down
Eat a few bags of shit and we could mash up a town
See I know this spot where them things will be hot
We guarantee at least two chickens up in every pot
So whatcha want (whatcha got), ay yo, eat some of these
And thrust us all up, you'll be cool like a breeze
[Xzibit] (Everlast)
Brought me back some orange juice, two vitamin C's
And the look on my face look like a painful disease
They tasted awful but by that time I had a jawful
(Just chill, ten minutes and it's all downhill)
Downhill, how does it feel, how long does it take to work
Am I gonna fry my disk, does it make my stomach hurt
Captain Kirk pulled into the night club parking lot
The line was aroudn the block, hurry up and find a spot
Straight to the bar drinking hennessey and orange juice
I gotta be trippin', that bitch just melted through the floor
[Everlast] (Xzibit)
Yo, either I'm high or I think that I'm dreaming
Don't take this shot wrong, but X you look like a demon (what)
And I might start scremaing, I think I might puke (yeah)
Cause I just heard a voice saying use the voice Luke, what the fuck
[Xzibit]
Brothers and sisters walking by that I recognize
Feeling hypnotized, Peoples Dilated changing sides
To my surprise we didn't even have to scrap tonight
Higher than kites, staring at lights, this a other type of high
[Everlast]
My mouth was dry, I forgot how to breathe
And I just saw some shit that you wouldn't believe
With this bomb, baby palm, ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Let me slide up in this mix, get some chicks and we'll leave
[Xzibit]
We be stumblin' straight from the bar, straight to the car
Feeling like my feet getting stuck to the street
Went to my house smokin' trees, playing video games
Everlast, a couple of homies, a couple of days
[Everlast]
It was me, X and Tash, we was smokin' a J
With this girl named Michelle, and her friend Chantay
Pumpin' Straight Outta Compton by N-W-A
Am I talking out loud or just thinkin' this way
[Xzibit]
Damn I can't find my keys, chickens ready to leave
They're ready to bounce, yo I think we smoked the whole ounce
I'm roaming the house, finding my words hard to pronounce
Talking to myself, see Mariah Gage on the shelf
For everything stays deep, I shoulda known all the cases
Twenty-five lightnings is what Xzibit is facin'
If somebody catch a slug at my house
That's the last time I ever put some stupid ass drugs in my mouth
Pulled a fifty, unloaded the gage, at least I thought so
Except I kept one in the chamber for Vinnie ?
That's what I forgot, that's what I lost
I don't do work I do damage, everytime I pick up the mic I manage
To diss someone or get somebody pissed
Take off my coat, clear my throat and begin to dismiss
All you fucked up punks that pollute mankind
Give me the mic take a hike, give me a piece of mind
Don't shout shut your mouth I'm trying to think cleary
You say my rhymes are dope check it out
This is nearly the start of something big like startin' a fire
You think the party is here, I'll take the level higher
I'm Everlast get off your ass you cut my rug you understand my game plan
You say man that kid bug, soya blood cotacs if you like the key
Now I'll stomp your head till you're dead or at least till you bleed
Fuck everyone!
It's the Syndicate I say what I want to,
I say, "Hey fuck off punk" just to taunt you
Into believing the ryhmes I say are meant for one thing
And that's achieving my goal
So I can stroll where the fat money rolls,
'cross the bridge over trouble waters
Pay the toll with no bother, no fuss,
In God I trust but the rest pay the cash that's a must
The reason I'm teasin' you is it's pleasin' me to see how funny this can be
When I grab the mic I'm like a three wheel bike
I'm always on a roll, I'm always good as gold,
So before you smack lip stick and try to talk shit
I'll tell you now the battle's over and the joint is lit so quit
All hell breaks loose and it's a little known fact
T hat I attract and cause a crowd to react
Like an atomic explosion of the pacific ocean
The crowd gets large and I got this notion
All I wanna do is speak my rhyme and get paid
'Cause I'm in a trade to not be played and watch suckerss get slain
Put out of business, come on what is this, you came too late, boy
Class been dismissed, canceled, terminated put on a natural brake
North, find a new school to attend 'cause you know I'm goona say what I wanna
I'll grab the microphone and let my knowledge be born up, intelligence
Excellence, razor sharp wit, it's known shit, it's always gotta be legit
And up to par no matter who you are,
I know I'm not the best but I still leave scars on your brain cells
What the hell...
Fuck Everyone!
Everybody... Fuck'em... (2x)
Every everybody fuck'em!
I got Tipper Gore protestin' my lyrics,
Fuck that bitch I don't need a clearance
To write my rhymes, speak my mind,
You can't censor me the public's not blind
It's time they knew whats goin' on,
You shouldn't have the power to stop a song
Even if you don't like what you hear
Even if the song is strikin' fear into your heart
Body, soul and brain it's my opinion so it's my domain,
Fuck all those standin' in my way
Step to me and you'll have to pay what I say so pay your debt
You fuck with me and you'll have regrets
Fuck everyone...
Fuck'em (2x)...
Fuck'em now...
Fuck the fed now fuck'em now...
Fuck'em everybody!
We don't want to hear bullshit niggers...
Fuck Everyone (2x)...
Fuck'em
Now, fuck you HAHA...
Everybody meets their maker
Everyone, they feel the fire
Everybody's on the takin'
Everyone's a fuckin' liar
Everyone's another suspect
Everybody's on the run
Everybody feels the boxin'
Everybody's got each other
Everyone is on their own
Everywhere is overcrowded
Everybody is all alone
Everyone they need somebody
Everybody needs someone
Everybody feels the boxin'
Everybody is a winner
Everyone done lost their mind
Everybody is just a sinner
Every day is borrowed time
Everyone's another suspect
Everybody's on the run

C'mon! What you 'fraid of?
It's gon' do you some good
For all the girls that I loved before
that got a lot more than they bargained for
They got a lot more than they was anticipatin
Started off lovin, winded up hatin
Remember back when we were very first datin
You said baby be patient cause I'm all about waitin
I'm not your overnight stick and move easy
You gotta prove your love or I'm really kinda cheesy
She's her daddy's girl, oh so fine
Do anything in this world, to make her mine
We'll sip a lil' wine
Talk and see what this is all about
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
We could have some fun at my house
We can do this like Brutus on a Tuesday night
Can burn some nice hemp and make the place smell right
Could roll you up some trees, could make you a bite
Could maybe watch a movie or the UFC fight
Could play a little chess, or sit by the fire
and conversate for a while 'bout human desire
We'll do a little bettin we could do a little kissin
Get what you need gettin girl you don't know what you missin
Baby girl let me know
if you have any doubts
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
C'mon over to my house (The House of Pain)
We could have some fun at my house
We could put on some tunes, and sing a few songs
Call up your friends tell 'em all come along
We'll fire up the grill, and start up a party
Cause ev-a-ry-one needs the love of somebody
We can sip on tequila, and act like a fool
And wake up all the neighbors when we jump in the pool
Come on over and spend some time
And, put some hope in this heart of mine
Lay your head in my lonely arms
No surprises, no alarms
And baby girl let me know
are you in, are you out?
C'mon over to my house
C'mon over to my house
We could have some fun at my house
Baby we can call it our house
Look at how she move, look at how she sway
Standin in her pumps and her lingerie
Comment allez-vous parlez vous francais
Don't know how to act, don't know what to say
Need a genie and a wish in the very worst way
And this type of ish happens eve-ry-day
Type love I feel, is so for real
So gen-uine, and so sublime
Baby workin and puttin on a show for me
Standin over me, I smell potpourri
Take you any place that you wanna go with me
Just (Come Talk to Me) like Jodeci
Got a pain in my heart that never goes away
Baby girl do you really wanna feel it?
Got a lot at stake, and a promise to make
and a kiss from your lips could seal it
I'll be there, for you babe
I'll be the one that you need
I'll be the man that will love you
I'll be there, for you babe
Another loose nut, pain in your gut
Relationship gone down
In a bottle of booze, you manifest your blues
Put on your face and hit the town
Now that skin-tight dress maybe might impress
the kind of man that you might not like
First time up with no luck and confusion
got you gamblin with just one strike
You need more than conversation and introduction calls
You need someone to catch you when you fall
And fly like an eagle when you fine
cause you on my mind
I'll be there, for you babe
I'll be the one that you need
I'll be the man that will love you
I'll be there, for you babe
Look at how she sway, look at how she move
Tryin to show and prove, don't disturb the groove
She got - hazel eyes, and hair that's gold
An amazing heart, and an angel's soul
She used to be a sinner, but now she's saved
She's well respected and she's well behaved
Her fuse is short, her legs are long
Her temper's mean, her will is strong
A love so real, a love so deep
A love so true, it's so hard to keep
Her center's sweet, her beauty's rare
When we walk down the street people stop and stare
She's so damn smart, she's one of a kind
She's a work of art, she's a priceless wine
She's a drama queen, she's a friend of mine
She's every man's dream and she's mine all mine
I'll be there, for you babe
I'll be the one that you need
I'll be the man that will love you
Changed your look, cut your hair
And I pretended like I don't care
You're so lovely, girl, stop crying
Bite my lip, I close my eyes
Try to tell myself you're no prize
Can't forget you, girl, but I'm tryin'
No one else will ever be
The things that you are to me, girl
Kind of special, hey, I ain't lying
Bite your neck, I pull your hair
You're so innocent and unaware
I'm so lonely, I'm so scared, girl
I'm dying here
Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Baby girl, don't you know your heart was too full of doubt?
Grab your shoes, walk out the door
Like you've done a thousand times before
But you got nowhere you can go to
Try to run, girl, but you can't hide
All the voices deep down inside
Repeat all the things that I told you
You're steadily on my mind
Girl, spoonin' you from behind
That's my favorite way that I hold you
For every time I let you down
For every tear that touched the ground
For every sincere apology that I owe you, girl
Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Baby girl, don't you know your heart was too full of doubt?
I've been loving you a little too long
And still I keep holding on
It's been a year since you been gone, girl
Check it out now
Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Baby girl, don't you know your heart was too full of doubt?
Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
This is Everlast (6x)...
Step up while I inject an overdose of intallect
An overload of my vibrations better yet a new sensation
I was lost but then he found me no corruption dissed around me
I was taken to a higher, level of funkdifia where souls of men were burned
They were taught but did not learn about the ricious laws of God
Who threw the seeds over the side, takin' roots and tryin' to grow
Though the process might be slow please stay with my question
What is this? (This is Everlast) (5x)...
(Scratch) Wha wha what wha what is thi wha what is this? (2x)...
Not speakin' on my physical, mental or my horror
I'm speakin' on my soul for the burn would beat you whore
There's no such thing as love of your life, it's the hands of the God
So don't treat his ricious laws with blatant disreguard
In order to follow the Lords path here is what you must do
Do onto each of your brothers as you have done to you
This golden rule is all you need and you'll be rewarded
The man that don't will pay the price and believe me you can't afford it
Because
This is Everlast
What is this? (This is Everlast) (3x)
(Scratch) wha what wha what is is thi this?
This is for the one-two war of over who's God is the right one
Can it be the Asian one, the black one or could it be the white one
The answer to the question isn't controversial
There is only one God and his love is universal
If you sit in great redemption all you need to do is ask him
Then you will be both prepared for a life that is Everlasting
So take heed to the word's I'm sayin', grab a good book and get hip
To the teachings of the holy coral or the Bible's holy scripture
Because
What is this? (This is Everlast) (5x)...
What is this? (This is Everlast) (4x)...
Who is this? (This is Everlast) (2x)...
WHAT IS THIS?! (This is Everlast)

I'm Everlast born to be a caucassion but it makes no difference what persuasion you are
As long as you know how to get up on the floor and start workin' a sweat
To a musical measure that makes you move as soon as the needle drops into the groove
So get up and dance to the gift I'm giving, forget about your troubles get into the rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm (all we need is rhythm)
Talking 'bout the rhythm (all we need is rhythm)
Talking 'bout the rhythm (all we need is rhythm)

You linger for the rap singer, when Donald D brings the party to the deal my presence is felt world wide
You don't dance to this it's suicide
Put your hands into the air on, the M.C. cop, the girlies are pipen' hot
Natorious Lama is how I'm livin' don't step to me step to the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
You make me feel so good
Like I said before the world needs a lot more rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm
Talking 'bout the rhythm
Listen to the tracks that rolls, watch the mic as it glows
The lethal weapon got you trapped in this dance mode
Ice-T's throwin' words at you like dodge ball y'all
You gotta move get hit, if you get hit, you fall, no jokin', no boastin' and no bragging
Grip the mic like a .44 magnum, dust you off if you suck 'cause I ain't
You want me to write soft rhyme's, sorry, I write the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm
(Talking 'bout) the rhythm

(Ladies and gentlemen we have)
Everlast
(In the house tonight I think they got somethin they wanna say)
I'm here to uplift, I don't bug, I don't drift
Away from my subjects, not even if
My music stops or my beat is gone
I'm just here to express myself and pass it on
(So funky)
Speakin much words of wisdom, Everlast has the jism
So sit back, relax, kick up your feet and listen
To E cause that's me, no others can be
Half as fine, I blow your mind with an m-i-c
Get off the tip quick, boy, you're makin me sick
No other partner could be smarter than my man Kool Nick
Understand, he's my man with the plan
We come to parties with the posse just to gain some fans
The posse is strong, the lines are long
People flockin to my shows just to hear a song
Like this, it's not a diss, it's a mouthful of bliss
Throw your hands in the air and blow me a kiss
From the crowd cause I'm proud, I say my name loud
Everlast pounds sounds like a thundering cloud
It's not rock 'n roll, it's hip-hop music
It's got a lot of soul if you learn how to use it
Well, I'm here to tell suckers go to hell
Others tried to take me down but they're the ones who fell
Ignorance was their downfall
Take it a little at a time, don't go for it all
At once cause that's stupid, it don't make sense
Just relax and move your body, don't look so tense
I'm not here to diss nobody, I'm just havin some fun
Everlast last forever, that's why I'm number one
So pass it on
With a forty in my fist breakin out my list
Of all the suckers I'm cold about to diss
There's none to match me or even catch me
Off my guard, so that they can scratch me
Off the MC all-star team
Everlast is number one, that means I reign supreme
Cause there ain't no others, listen up brothers
Just because I'm white don't mean that I'm another
Sucker on the microphone frontin and fakin
Not Mexican, Asian, black or Jamaican
Just a sensation made to be caucasian
Get ready brothers, here comes an invasion
Don't try to stop it, you got a rhyme? Drop it
You might detect that respect's my topic
I won't rush it but I'll discuss it
Go ahead and pop your shot if you think that you can bust it
But I'ma go on, I'm gonna talk some more
I guarantee you won't be bored if you get on the floor
And go for yours and say that you get it
Get up, get out your seats, get on the floor and get with it
And listen to the rhyme I like to call mine
I re-rehearsed every verse and soon you will find
Not one mistake, so don't try to break
Or talk about takin out the dope rhymes I make
Just pass em on
You're goin wild for my flow and style
I don't stutter, I utter words versatile
I'm entertainin with my brain and always wearin a smile
I don't front, I don't fake, I run the whole mile
You clap cause my snap is like a crocodile
Whether I'm on stage or in my domicile
I'm not fiendin, I don't smoke, I tell you I'm no joke
You're schemin for my lyrics cause you know I did dope
Don't give me no Mo't, pour me a glass of rose
And I'll say 'skal' to your health and then I'll blow you away
Not Simple Simon on the (? ) just rhymin from Long Island
The rungs on the ladder of success I'm climbin
Fierce like a lion keepin ducks tame
Murderin two-bit MC's until none remain
Cold gettin dumb, I'm number one shinin like the sun
With a mic in my holster and I'm on the run
Gunnin down MC's and writin on the walls
I'm ready for a showdown if you got the balls
Commence, face my offense cause you're makin me tense
I make a lotta dollars but I make more sense
So pass it on
Pass it on, pass it down the line
I can throw with the best and go rhyme for rhyme
With any sucker claimin talent, thinkin that he got some
But what you do not realize is Everlast is number one
Cause Everlast is on a superior level
Go ahead and laugh, call me a devil
I won't care, yeah, my skin is fair
But I still go rhyme for rhyme anytime or -where
With you or any party or crew
And when I finished you're diminished, take a sip of my brew
And step off, clear my throat with a cough
And bust a move to show and prove that I'm hard not soft
And with my DJ Bilal my beat will be furnished
You find with my rhyme your mind will be nourished
With wisdom and knowledge, yeah, I went to college
And if you get dissed I won't apolog-
ize, cause that's a part of my rise
And I go on and on, I go to any length
Just to show that when I throw my rhymes on the strength
I like to see the crowd movin when I come on
