I've seen through the shading
And down to what's within
Reaching you will feel me
Lost and alone
You said i was what you were looking for
So why do i feel so empty
And it seemed so real
Pulled from my grasp taken away
Am i nothing in your eyes
Reaching out i feel
You were pulling away, never letting me in
I am nothing in your eyes
Day in day out i see you live your life again
A fool i stand here in waiting
In letters words and pictures
You profess your love to me
And to the last they were lies
The malice i should feel for you deceitfulness
Some how always escapes me
And in the shading
Between the words you said to me
We get fogged up (?) and tied down to what we used to be
and new faces search for traces of what we used to see
And truthfully, I feel like my legs haven't seen work in a while
Cause it's only a short path back from what I keep close to what I exiled
Shading
You can't learn from what you can't see
You can't grow without your leaves
It'd take water but it's worth nothing if you're inside
So we lock in cause having (???) and cement in place
Like running water that eventually just drains back to the lake
And for Christ's sake, I'm only getting half of what you don't perceive ?
Cause for every side I imagine what it'd be like if you were with me
Shading
You can't learn from what you can't see
You can't grow without your leaves
It'd take water but it's worth nothing if you're inside
It's hard to root my feet cause you affected me
It's hard to root my feet cause you affected me
It's hard to root my feet cause you affected me

Once upon a time there was a man, who traveled round with a guitar in his
Hand
For the sake of the story, we’ll say his name was Corey
The point of which I’m sure you’ll understand
One night in Chattanooga, Tennessee he drew fire from the local authorities
Strangely enough, he didn’t break any laws
They just said he pissed the wrong guy off
At a bar called Rhythm and Brews, Corey pulled a crowd though the crowd
Wasn’t huge
He was happy as hell, he was loving his life,
Making money for his children and his wife
Then in came a badge and a gun
A man we’ll call Officer John
He was doing his job, come to make an arrest
But someone in the balcony poured a beer on his chest
Oh, John got fightin’ mad
He started cussin’ and fashin’ his badge
He couldn’t find the culprit to vent his rage
So he blamed Corey and the song he was singin’ on the stage
Keep in mind Corey didn’t know
About the cop or the beer until after the show
But when it all came to an end
They said he’d never play in Chattanooga again
Flash forward five long years
Corey turned out to have a hell of a career
When a new club opened off of Market Street
They invited Corey there just after opening week
Folks came out in droves
Demand was high, every ticket was sold
The crowd was loud, the fans were hyped
And it was all shaping up to be a hell of a night
Then in came Officer John
He remembered Corey and the song he had sung
Evidently he was still pissed off
Started making demands that Corey’s mic be turned off
Meanwhile Corey made a speech
About respecting the law and honoring the police
But John already made up his mind,
“This man is subversive. And he’s crossing the line.”
He made threats to the owner of the club
“You’re gonna have a problem if you don’t pull the plug.”
The club didn’t feel like fighting
They knew Officer John would pull their liquor license
So when Corey started singing his most popular song
For a passionate crowd 1400 strong
The conspired to kill the PA
Like it was Red China not the USA (hey!)
Damn there was nearly a riot
It’s all on video, there’s no way they can deny it
It was censorship at its worst
And there’s a damn good reason that amendment is first
If we don’t check power then power checks us
And power ain’t always just
You see John kept pushin’ ‘til he got pushed back
Corey was in the corner now he’s on the attack
He ain’t backin’ down til he gets his way
He vows to go back to Chattanooga one day
He’s gonna sing at the top of his lungs
“Fuck the Po-Po!”
[Hook:]
You were cheating
See your services, I don't need no mo'
You were cheating
Get your grip get your hat, get your coat you gotta go
[D-Block:]
You a cheater, come on how could this be
My best friend, the one who was close to me
Keeping me company, you was right by my side
You my Bonnie I'm your Clyde, tight that's how we ride
We were in fine tune, like a big ben clock
Like Ashford and Simpson, we were solid as a rock
Everything must stop, but why did it have to be
My relationship with you, when you promised to keep it true
How could you, do this though
Build up enough confidence, to stoop so low
It's crazy yo, I guess the myth is true
That some girls just do what they do, but who knew
It would be you, I guess that's how it goes
I fell for a witch, and she closed I'm supposed
You think I'm gonna, take you back
Here's your coat your grip and your hat, get to stepping girl gon back
[Hook:]
You were cheating
See your services, I don't need no mo'
You were cheating
Get your grip get your hat, get your coat you gotta go
You were cheating
See your services, I don't need no mo'
See your ass, is out of line
Now you gotta, ride the pine
[D-Block:]
Now you all cried out, and wonder if my feelings have changed
Hell naw, they remain the same
And who's to blame, couldn't keep your hands to yourself
To busy creeping on the down low, loving somebody else
Come get your britches off my shelf, and bring my key
My ring, and everything else that belongs to me
See I'm throwing you the deuce, you can kiss my caboose
Keep on trying to holla girl, but there's no use
This here ain't bout to leave the states, and you get left behind
Only picking up one passenger, and you second in line
Erase you out my mind, what love there was was gone
I'm not trying to be too rude, but it's a must you move on
So so long, siarnora adios
Vamoos, holla at ya girl get ghost
You just lost the most important thang to ya, and it was me
Enough with all that, cause what we had is now history
[Billy Cook:]
And you got a problem girl, you need to change
Bouncing up and down like you happy to see a nigga, smiling right in my face
But game reck and nice games, that's why I'm switching lanes
Now your ass is lucky to cold fo' at the bus stop, standing in the rain so fuck you
[D-Block:]
You could ride the pine, catching splinters in your butt
Thought I had a star player, but even the best get cut
Now what, you all alone looking stupid
Last arrow didn't work, now you searching for cupid
Look what you did, you need to change your ways
Get yourself together, quit running all them plays
This is not a game, quit acting like a quarterback
Tried to get too sneaky, messed around and got sacked
Smacked real hard, now you out the game
Missed a good chance, of walking down the isle of fame
Sharing my last name, giving birth to my seed
All because of one thing, and it had to be greed
That was a need, to go looking for love
When I have so much love right here, thought I had made that clear
I guess the feelings in me, weren't even on your mind
And that's the very reason, that your ass is riding the pine
I said I wasn't cheating then I began repeating
I said I wasn't cheating then I began repeating
Thee abundance of redundance flooded her head,
and she said,
If I'm leaving with a broken heart,
You're leaving with a bleedin nose
Look out man, cause hear she come's yeah,
no no no, no no no
I think she knows what happened at the party yeah,

and did you really sleep with that chick man
yes yes yes, yes yes yes
and are you gonna tell her straight up man
no no no no
I said I wasn't cheating then I began repeating
I said I wasn't cheating then I began repeating
Thee abundance of redundance flooded her head,
and she said,
If I'm leaving with a broken heart,
You're leaving with a bleedin nose
This is the last time you'll see me
This is the last time you'll see me
Check your mood ring, cause I bet its green
Check your cash flow and I bet it's low
Well hey how was the party last night honey
no no no, no no no
Oh it wasn't bad I saw a fight honey
no no no , no no no
I bet that wasn't all you saw now was it
yes yes yes, yes yes yes

Thee abundance of redundance flooded her head,
and she said,
If I'm leaving with a broken heart,
You're leaving with a bleedin nose
This is the last time you'll see me
This is the last time you'll see me

This is the last time you'll see me
This is the last time you'll see me
Check your mood ring, cause I bet its green
Check your cash flow and I bet it's low
Check your sextoys, check you playboy's
Check all your things, cause I bet they're destroyed
Cause I'm a jackass
Well I'm a jackass
Leaving with no grievings
With only what's in my head
Changing the world around me
The world that I've long been fed
I've taken all that I can
I turn my back
It's haunting me
CHORUS
The past is torn away
I'll live another day
To shed this hell
And fight my way out
Trading all that I have
All that I have inside
Taking nothing with me
Nothing more than my pride
I'm breaking away
From where I've been
I've taken all that I can
I can't go back
Its haunting me
CHORUS
Nothing left for me
Gave up everything
Just to kill the pain
Will it follow me
What I need to find
Is some peace of mind
I must fight my out
Of this Fucking hell
CHORUS
There's nothing left for me
Gave up everything
Just to kill the pain
Shed this hell away
Au Nord-Est d'Atlanta
Novembre 1863
Au creux des Appalaches
Quand le desert ferme la marche
Pour la vie, du g?n?ral Lee
Le coeur d'un homme de couleur
Pour la tunique bleue
On a laiss? mourir nos terres
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Fleuve rouge des soldats
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Les deux couleurs du combat
Volcans de poudre qui se r?veillent
Les ?mes partent en pluies d'?tincelles
Et puis perdus une fois de trop
On tombe face au gris de leur drapeau
Appotamox n'est plus loin
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Fleuve rouge des soldats
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Les deux couleurs du combat
Je sais la peur dans leurs corps fragiles
Ils voient la mienne ? nos fusils vides
Ils ont mes larmes dans leurs yeux
La m?me envie de rentrer chez eux
Appomatox n'est plus loin
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Fleuve rouge des soldats
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Les deux couleurs du combat
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Fleuve rouge des soldats
Chattanooga Tennessee pleure
Les deux couleurs du combat
[Verse 1:]
It started out as a perfect relationship
Said that I was your one and only chick
So in love, the ribbon was our promise
But somehow it just all fell apart
Hangin out every night with your boys 'til three
And this is what you're tellin' me
But I found out a little differently
Cannot believe you'd do this to me
[Hook:]
Boy why do you gotta do me wrong
I can't keep holdin' on
Though my love for you is oh so strong
I don't understand boy why
You gotta be like every other guy
This is the last time you'll cheat on me
[Verse 2:]
The first time I caught you with my friend
Forgave you, did the same chick again
I can't believe I let it go on so long
When I knew the whole time you were wrong
I gave you (I gave you) the benefit of the doubt
Cause your love, I couldn't live without
I got stronger, I know I should've moved on from you
Had to figure out how to be without you
[Hook:]
Boy why do you gotta do me wrong
I can't keep holdin' on
Though my love for you is oh so strong
I don't understand boy why
You gotta be like every other guy
This is the last time you'll cheat on me
[Rap:]
I wore my heart on my sleeve
Everything you said that you did I would always believe
But I guess I was the one decieved
And now I gotta pack my bags cause it's time to leave
No more hugs and kisses, no I'm not your misses
See us breakin' up was not one of my wishes
See you cheated what you did was wrong
Now we'll never be the same, my pride is too damn strong
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Boy why'd you have to cheat on me?
[Hook:]
Boy why do you gotta do me wrong
I can't keep holdin' on
Though my love for you is oh so strong
I don't understand boy why
You gotta be like every other guy
This is the last time you'll cheat on me
Boy why?
Boy why?
Boy why?
Boy why?
[Hook:]
Boy why do you gotta do me wrong
I can't keep holdin' on
Though my love for you is oh so strong
I don't understand boy why
You gotta be like every other guy
Saturday, the show was done
i left the party, rushed out of the door 'cause i couldn't wait to go see her face.
And then i saw you standing there,
in the hall way,
watching you with your room-man
now tell me how i forget that day .
When i gave you everything you wanted,
gave you everything you need
gave you all my love and baby thought you were the one for me.
why, oh why. oh my god, oh my.
(CHORUS)
I caught you cheating,
My soul is screaming
i'll never heal again
but im willing to forgive you.
because im feeling,
that im still believing
cause i ain't breathing
without you by my side
i'll give you one more try TONIGHT. (oohh, ohhh)
It felt like my body hit the ground- and my whole world came trembling down
oh baby baby baby
how could you do this to me.?
When i gave you everything you wanted,
gave you everything you need
gave you all my love and baby thought you were the one for me.
why, oh why. oh my god, oh my, i caught you cheating.
I caught you cheating,
My soul is screaming
i'll never heal again
but im willing to forgive you.
because im feeling,
that im still believing
cause i ain't breathing
without you by my side
i'll give you one more try TONIGHT. (oohh, ohhh)
(One more try tonight.
We cant throw this love away.
Give it One more try)
I caught you cheating,
My soul is screaming
i'll never heal again
but im willing to forgive you.
because im feeling,
that im still believing
cause i ain't breathing
without you by my side
i'll give you one more try TONIGHT.
