Tell me a story
What must I do to take a holiday
show me a bill that they can make me pay
tell me a story
and maybe I'll believe it
Me I'm just a lucky guy
Young and free
too hard to cry
Lorna from my school she's 21
She's good looking and a married girl so
tell me a story
tell me stories
and man I ain't complaining
Me I'm just a lucky guy
Young and hard
too tough to cry
Standing in a show
the lights ain't low
they're shining down on me
and I like, I like it
just like I like I like it
I'm taking like I find it
What did they do to chill the joy away
what did they do to say you had to pay
and pay
and pay
Tell me stories
you know I never can believe them
never ever
Me I'm just a lucky guy
I'm young and free
too dumb to cry
What must I do to take a holiday
show me a bill that they can make me pay
tell me a story
and maybe I'll believe it
Me I'm just a lucky guy
I'm Young and free

Tell me a story about the Savior
Tell me a story about His kindness
I want to hear it
Tell me a story about His goodness
Tell me a story about His kindness
I want to hear it
Tell me a story, tell me a story,
Tell me a story
About baby Jesus
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story

Yo Hilary it's Romeo
And you know what where gonna make 'em dance this Christmas
Left... right... now shake (tell me)
What,what you want (tell me)
Uh hu (tell me)
Yeah (tell me)
Tell me a story
I believe, oh I believe
All things are possible on Christmas Eve
OK... OK
It was a night before Christmas
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse
the stockings was hung
by the chimney with care
with hopes that St. Nick soon would be there
me and my sisters and brothers getting ready for bed
Can't wait to get toys for all the break bread
Mom's in her P. Miller jammies and pop's silk
and pops still
Santa coming eating the cookies and milk
Tell me a story
I believe, oh I believe
All things are possible on Christmas Eve
Every time I hear that rhyme
I love it even more
Tell me a story
About the night before
Could it be a dream?
I think I heard a noise
jumped out of bed
it's the no limit boys
I ran to the window
Creak creak
Bright red shining the new Hum-V
snow in the south hhmm that's kinda silly
Is it Santa Claus or is it my uncle Willy?
know hea we play games but this one feels weird
when I see 8 shiny reindeer
'bout to come and get me
come on
Tell me a story
you wanna know
check it out
Now Santa
called them by name
Dasher, dancer, prancer
and they all came
vixen, comet, cupid eyes drooping
low ears they look's like they snooping
can't forget donder and blit's
3 kings
they carrying the gifts
t-t-t-t-tell me a
I believe, oh I believe
All things are possible on Christmas Eve
wish for it, you just might get it
Every time I hear that rhyme
I love it even more
Tell me a story
About the night before
wish for it, you just might get it
I couldn't believe they were flying so high
to the moon and the stars and the lonely sky
they went up and around
and sung as they flew
with the sleigh and the toys
and Saint Nicholas too
ain't about the gifts
but I'm glad Santa came
thanks for the video games and the bling-bling
my lil' sister 'n' brothers got bikes 'n' trains
I'm just glad for the love it brings
so you better not shout
you better not pout
yall know what I'm talkin' about
merry Christmas to all
and have a good night
yo Hilary bring the cords and lights
Tell me a story
Tell me a story
Wish for it, you just might get it
Tell me a story
I believe, oh I believe
All things are possible on Christmas Eve
Every time I hear that rhyme
I love it even more
Tell me a story
About the night before
Wish for it, you just might get it

so now i know you have to say
what's on your little mind
and i always have to hear
from someone else all your
stupid lies come on now and
look at me you'll see i'm
okay it's story time now time
for you to show your shallow
exhistance it doesn't add up
too much your junior
insecurity now i see that

Tell me a story, settle the cards.
Give me a cause for the foreign wars.
Wrap me up in our flag,
and let the bombs fall where they may.
Tell me a tale, make the puzzle whole.
Give it to the pilgrim without a soul.
Sell it to the miner who can't afford his coal
and may the history factory never close.
You can build an army of this rabble yet.
You can make a nation from the ashes of the dead.
Tell them a story:
god blood and glory,
brew up an enemy:
they're comin' to steal your bread.
And let the bombs fall where they may
on faces I don't see with names I cannot say.
For I trust the storyteller with my vote.
I, pilgrim was sold a golden soul,
sold a soul, sold his soul.
The first thing I remember?
Waking up and seeing you there.
Comfort like a fire, like an answer to a prayer.
Like a beacon in the blackness,
solace from the racket.
Take your shears to the briars.
Kill the chaors, make it clear.
Tell me why the buildings fall and everybody dies.
I have so many questions,
just tell me where to sign...
and I'll take up arms and lock all the doors
and I'll tell them a story 'bout the good guys
of the war, of the war.
Tell me a story to help me slip away.
I drank up an enemy.
So let the bombs rain from our parade

Tell me a story and make it rich,
Please keep in mind I'm very fond of twists
Don't hesitate to contradict
I've been conditioned not to reflect
Never to learn, never to feel
Just to consume and self to conceal
Coated with dust , obscured and shorn
Not to be sought but stumbled upon
Your lips are stone, your breath is harm
Your kisses hurt but your touch is charmed
Steeped in our shame, pickled in pain
Deadened in life we live just the same
Never to learn, never to feel

So the young boy proceeded
To climb up the stair
With a candle he held in the dark
Up to the second floor
And then entering the corridor
His own shadow on the wall
He slightly pushed the door to the room
Where the old man layed to rest
The Old Man: "Tell me - you dream of beautiful things
sometimes, don't you?"
The Young Boy: "Of course I dream!"
The Old Man: "And you do believe in dreams....."
The Young Boy: "Of course I do. We all dream...."
A Crowd Of Kids: "We do it - we do it all the time!"
(CHORUS)
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams gone forever
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams long gone
And in the center of the small room
Covered by the sheets
The old man with a sparkle in his eyes
Made a gesture of the hand
So, coming closer to the large bed
With his eyes wide awake
The little boy reached out for the hand
A hand of a hundred years
The Old Man: "Tell me - you dream of beautiful things
sometimes, don't you?"
The Young Boy: "Of course I dream!"
The Old Man: "And you do believe in dreams....."
The Young Boy: "Of course I do. We all dream...."
A Crowd Of Kids: "We do it - we do it all the time!
(CHORUS)
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story of....
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams gone forever
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Of dreams long gone
Of dreams gone forever
Would you tell me, oh tell me
Tell me
Tell me a story of dreams

Can't u take a hint
it's written in the print,
written in my font
Can't u read em?
they ain't readin it right
so dont u listen to them
break the word down into syllables.
sort out your little riddles,
well you know your life aint at stake,
dont be afraid to make a mistake, oh
read it off the wall
to read the top stand tall
help me clarify my meanings
once you get it right
you'll never get it wrong
i swear i swear
break the word down into syllables.
sort out your little riddles,
well you know your life aint at stake,
dont be afraid to make a mistake
don't be afraid to make a mistake
don't keep it to yourself
don't put the story back on its shelf
read it out
so everybody knows what you're talking about
don't keep it to yourself
don't put the story back on its shelf
read it out
so everybody knows what you're talking about
Don't keep it to yourself
Don't keep it to yourself
Don't keep it to yourself

My little dog, she licked my salty hands.
Cried for the day before the sun began.
My neighborhood became our own domain.
Oh how I'd run when she called my name
Tell me a story that lasts for hours
I don't want to think of her
That little nose was either on the ground or in
the air when the sirens sound
Your pinkest skin is no match for her teeth.
Only the best bones are ever out of reach.
Tell me a story that lasts for hours.

I'm taking the time to become unconfined
(It kills me inside to ignore all the signs)
I tend to look down when I seem to look up
(Just do as your told and please drink from this cup)
The water is poison it destroys your mind
(You ruin mankind and you follow the blind)
This blanket of lies keeps you warm in the night
(You look to the sky to find your reasons why)
Your answers they, seem to betray-I won't obey
But now I know, seen through your cloak
You are exposed
Your gallows fall, we watch you crawl
The end is near, to all austere
And if their brigades shall begin to take flight
(We'll come together and descend into night)
The smallest voice in the crowd tends to be
(The one to stand up and declare that they're free)
So don't look up when you tend to look down
(Just keep your voice high and ascend from the sound)
Know that you're one but you're never alone
(They'll always claim that you cast the first stone)
The innocent, are victims in this mindless game
And know you know, seen through their cloak
They are exposed
Their cities burn, and now we're sure
(You're) the enemy
(You're) the enemy

Tell you a story and it starts with time
Most on how you lived, and learned how to die
Never fakes in this world that brings death to life
So don't believe in everything you see
Because what you want might not be what you need
Hold your breath jump with me and we'll survive
Cause you are the song that leads me to the light
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind
You always scared of what's in front
Live with what you have
Now I make the best of what's to come
Tell me a story long and true
We are what we say we are what we do
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand just confused
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind
You always scared of what's in front
Live with what you have
Now I make the best of what's to come
Live with what you have
Now I make the best of what's to come
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind
You always scared of what's in front
Live with what you have
Now I make the best of what's to come

All the disused derelict buildings
They tell of stories of time's gone by
They tell of broken dreams and promises
Of all those forgotten lies
And the waste grounds of a city proud
Tell the story you know too well
Just sit back for a while
And listen to the story I tell
Oh, you tell the story
Oh, you tell the story
You tell the story
(You heard ten times before)
You wait for the day, it must come soon
To get you away from your feelings of gloom
There's no real hope and there's none on it's way
You only survive from day to day
Oh, you tell the story
Oh, you tell the story
You tell the story
(You heard ten times before)
Oh, you tell the story
Oh, you tell the story
You tell the story
Oh, you tell the story
Oh, you tell the story
You tell the story
(You heard ten times before)
You tell a story of a city proud
You tell the story, you shout it out loud
The same old story, you wanna hear no more
The same old story, you've heard ten times before
You tell a story of a city proud
You tell the story, you shout it out loud
The same old story, you wanna hear no more
The same old story, you've heard ten times before
You tell a story of a city proud
You tell the story, you shout it out loud
The same old story, you wanna hear no more
The same old story, you've heard ten times before

[Trae]
Somebody help him that boy ain't tripping, he really misunderstood
Addicted to doing bad, but he trying to get out the hood
Life as an adolescent, got him stressing back in the day
Now he paranoid, ducking and dodging to get away
You would think a hard life, is what he prayed to have
Everytime he reached out for love, there was nobody he could grab
That's why he was cold inside, he took his pain as strive
With a 4-5, minus one to stay alive
A ghetto baby is what he was, his uncle was doing drugs
And left him to be a thug, on the corner with nigga slugs
His brother was locked up, and mama was stressed out
He was a good kid, until reality turned him out
20 years old, on the way to becoming a man
Live in another world, people would never understand
Loving to be alone, feeling like he would meet the end
The good life, was never part of the plan
[Hook]
Let me tell you a story, bout a dude I know
With so much pain in his heart, it wouldn't show
And he never knew when his life, was gon go
Everytime he'd step out, he grabbed the fo'-fo'
Let me tell you a story, bout a dude I know
With so much pain in his heart, it wouldn't show
Everybody he knew, was living so shife
But he kept on moving, trying to live life
[Trae]
Now he running the block
With a pocket full of rocks, missing FED time
And watching hating niggaz, so he don't wind up with dead time
Cause everything he got, that nigga rightfully earned
Get in his way behind his paper, he was subject to leave you burned
Plus he running with a click of guerillas, that's living shife
And hated life, the only way out was to pay the price
He was ready for whatever, decisions he made his own
And since they pissed him off, he would prolly be moving alone
Doing his own thang, to hell with the consequences
Real ran through his blood, and them niggaz payed attention
He wanted to get it together, but it was prolly too late
He took the wrong turn, and that's what decided his fate
It wasn't his fault, but that's how the game done got him
Swallowed him up and left him, to be on the rock bottom
Without no say-so, a victim of circumstance
Put in a situation, begging for a hand
[Hook]
[Trae]
Nowhere to turn nowhere to go, so he contemplate suicide
Mentally out of line, needing help but he got pride
He got a child on the way, but his baby mama don't want him
Cause he broke without a job, and probation be leaning on him
Three strikes, and he heated to live in the penitentiary
Believe me it get lonely, to niggaz without a family
He might get lost to the system, or might get shanked in a bed
The thought of calling it quits, gotta be running through his head
He don't know what to do, he praying he in a dream
Waking up in a cold sweat, to be shaking it like a fiend
But he can't get away, so he be running out his mind
People looking for him, so he know he running out of time
One of three things can happen, he can run or wind up dead
Or go out on his own, with a 44 to the head
No one ever really knew, cause ain't nobody seen him since
He disappeared in the night, with no evidence
[Hook x2]
