Tragic youth was looking young and sexy
The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans
Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief
The tragic youth was going down on me
And I swear
Woo hoo
Yes I swear
I built a wall of sound to separate us
And hid among the junk of wretched highs
I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha
Struggling for reality
Ha ha ha ha
Woo hoo
Ha ha ha ha
Whoo hoo
Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight
Da da da da da da da da da
Now my death is more than just a sad song
Da da da da da da da da da
And I swear
Woo hoo
Yes I swear
Woo hoo
I still don't remember how this happened
I still don't get the wherefores and the whys
I look for sense but I get next to nothing
Hey boy welcome to reality
Ha ha ha ha
Woo hoo
I've been right and I've been wrong
Now I'm back where I started from
Never looked over reality's shoulder
Ha ha ha ha
Huh ha ha ha
Woo hoo
Huh ha ha
Wooh
Woo hoo
She didn't have a house, a house up in the hills
I never heard her ask for some car with the chromed out wheels
But all she wanted was some love and affection
But all I did all the time was neglect
The fact that she was lonely, I used to be her homey
I used to talk about how I was gonna get us out of the hood
But as long as we're together as a family, then it's all good
- Because any man can make a baby
But it takes a real man to be a father
Talking about a family, the kid, you and me
It's not a fantasy, but it's reality
You see love is wrong and love is right
But if love is strong then love is tight
Talking about a chemistry like a bride-to-be
It's not a fantasy, but it's reality
Be careful were the words the last time we had our talk
And your truth sound absurd so my pride just let you walk
When all the time knowing that I didn't mean
To hollar out and call you bitch and tell you leave
I admit it, I was wrong but now it's over come on home
I can't take it here is where you belong
Even out the window looking for the mailman
I hope he's got a letter says, I'm missing you, in the mail
And then I saw you with another, made it hard for me to breathe
But when I played the game for gives
I should've played the game for keeps
Now I wore the shoes that you talked about in your song
But it's been a change I've got a new pair on, yes
Now every night and day I still await
At the lonely spot in the hills
And think about how you set the record straight
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
"These are the streets!
Shit is real out here!
This ain't no fuckin joke!"
I lived in a spot called Millbrooke Projects
The original Criminal Minded rap topic
With twenty cents in my pocket I saw the light
If you're young gifted and black, you got no rights
Your only true right, is a right to a fight
and not a fair fight, I wake up wonderin who died last night
Everyone and everything is at war
Makin my poetic expression hardcore
I ain't afraid to say it, and many can't get with it
At times in my life, I was a welfare recipient
I ate the free cheese, while the church said believe
and went to school everyday, like a god damn fool
Well anyway, here I am, chillin at the party
Brothers lookin at me like they wanna kill somebody
A cypher manifested in the center of the jam
I got to show these wack rappers really who I am
It's me against them, so I clear the phlegm
and wage the war, hardcore to the end
For someone lookin inside, yeah from the out
it seems like disrespect is what rap is all about
But hip-hop as a culture, is really what we give it
But sometimes the culture contradicts how we live it
Cause every black kid lives two and three lives
The city's a jungle, only the strong will survive
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
Every single day I hear lie after lie
Like "Black people don't die, we multiply"
So when I kick a rhyme I represent how I feel
The sacred street art of keepin it real
Why I gotta listen, to somebody else?
How they got wealth, let me talk about myself
But all I really got is hip-hop and a glock
The results are obvious, if I'm confined to my block
Occasionally, in the city I'm released
to meet other beasts, lookin for the feast
We grunt and growl, on the prowl, as the air gets thinner
"Yo yo there he go, him," there's the dinner
White meat, carryin a bag of some sort
Life is short, white meat is quickly caught
A scuffle a muffle yet none of us hesitated
Like Mother Africa, white meat is violated
We quickly dissapear, like Santa's little elves
And go into a area to fight amongst ourselves
We say, "peace/piece" cause that's what we really want
A piece of the pie that America flaunts
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
"Oh shit!"
The truth is that police must serve and protect
REALITY is black youth is shown no respect
The truth is government has a war against drugs
REALITY is government is ruled by thugs
With all this technology, above and under
Humanity still hunts down one another
Rappers display artistic cannibalism
through lyricism, we fight each other over rhythm
Through basic animal instincts, we think
So the battle for mental territory is glory, end of story
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
Reality, ain't always the truth
Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
Yeah
"These are the streets!
Shit is real out here!
For me it's a beach bar
Or on a boat underneath the stars
Or with my band up on a stage
For a while everything's okay
For some it's a fast car
Moonshine in a mason jar
And everybody has their way
Somehow to escape
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality, oh yeah
Yeah, some days it's a bitch, it's a bummer
We need a rock 'n' roll show in the summer
To let the music take us away
Take our minds to a better place
Where we feel that sense of freedom
Leave our worries behind, we don't need 'em
All we need is a sunny day and an old tailgate
And we'll escape
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality
Everybody raise your hands and voice tonight
Set your soul free, let's take a carpet ride
We'll leave it all behind, oh yeah
Oh, reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality
Yeah, oh yeah
Come on everybody, break free
One drink of whisky, one drink of gin
One drink of vodka and I told my friends
Things don't seem quite like they used to
As reality leaves, so does the blues
One toke of reefer, a little cocaine
One shot of morphine and things begin to change
Things don't seem quite like they used to
As reality leaves, so does the blues
Up around here, back down again
I've been up on top, don't bother, my friend
Things don't seem quite like they used to
Mom and dad, I'm fine, how are you?
I have joined a small circus, that much is true
I'm a little malnourished, but try to relax
Could you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?
Send money
Runaway
Where's your head?
Dreamers' dreams
Are grounded
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Mom and dad, I'm fair, how's life?
Lent the money you sent me to the clown with the knife
My career as an acrobat hasn't begun
But I'm busy giving blood and shoveling elephant dung
Send money
Runaway
Why so tense?
Dreamers' dreams
Will make sense
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Runaway
Blowing smoke
Your folks are worried
And going broke
After the fall
Is an all-new episode
Reality
Is the high road
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way

It's down your wire, it's on your screen
Pirate satellite, next to MTV
Insert your hand, subscription free
It's reality
Put on the suit, connect the chord
Free mind of city life, just ecstasy
Don't block the flow, only you can see
Your reality
And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in
Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical
Reality, just anything you want to see
Is it wrong it's in your mind
Banned by the chosen ones, how they rule your life
Exit that page, enter brave new world
From reality
And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in
Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical

Even though we're apart
You're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine
I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace
Just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong
But reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song
With tears in my eyes
'Cuz now you're gone
So all your sweet talk
Even though we're apart
You're still right here in my heart
My imagination, oh I said it's so strong,
But reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
My imagination, oh so strong
Struggling through this
Disturbing life
Surviving is
the only way
to understand
the reasons why
each of us live
riding the blind
tension will pull
you down beneath
way underground
you shall remain
using your soul
dying to breathe
nothing to say
no one to blame
I've always been
slightly confused
all things appear
doomed in a way
whispering voice
is this the end?
my only fate
Tormented, down
Reality...
Tormented, down
Reality...
Upside down reality
I can't hide anxiety
Say goodbye to sanity
Met you by surprise, I didn’t realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there, I didn’t know i cared
There was something special
in the air
If you do exist, honey don’t resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it’s true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it’s meant to be
Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it’s only fantasy
Met you by surprise, I didn’t realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that’s it true
Feelings that are cue
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness has past
And maybe now at last
I’ll see how a real thing can be
Dreams are my reality
a wondrous world where i like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that’s my reality
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
And loving seems alright
The lights are on
But you're not home
You've drifted off
Somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe
No questions here
A quiet place
Where you hide from your fears
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up is clear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of
Your own reality?
So you sedate
And drown in vain
You've got a pill
For every day
A suit and tie
To mask the truth
It's ugly head
Is starting to show through
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of
Your own reality?
The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things that you do
To fulfill your addictions
The light at the end
Of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so
Afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for
What's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to
Keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking
Might make you feel better
The same things that probably
Got you here
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever they happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of
Your own reality?
The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things that you do
To fulfill your addictions
(Your own reality)
The light at the end
Of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so
Afraid of exposing?
(Your own reality)
You'd give it all up for
What's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to
Keep your hands from shaking
(Your own reality)
The same things you're thinking
Might make you feel better
The same things that probably
Reality reality reality is always
You tattoed yourself, what a piece of art ?
You've already broken your mother's heart
When I was your age, working my ass off
Your generation's soft
Reality is such a drag
For barely blooming eighteens
The bearely blooming eighteen
Wants to know
What's keeping her from searching
You cannot pierce that and
You're dressed too tight
Got a lot to learn about wrong and right
So dye your hair, dad's gonna wash it out
Come on wash your mouth
Reality is always...
What's hiding in the shadow
Reality reality reality is always
What is reality?
Motherfuckers out here don't know shit
They ain't tryin' to know shit
Just a dumb motherfucker out here tryin' to represent
Get my motherfuckin' paper
You don't think so? Well, then fuck you, hoe
'Cause I'm ridin' on trucks, banked all that type of shit
Gotta get paid motherfucker
Fuck dreamin' the same dreams, bein' down for the same team
When it seems to be reality is just a dream
Eye to eye, the colors that I wear is do or die
When I walk down the street, will I meet evil in disguise?
So, I tote a fo'-fo' with hollow tips
While my mind tellin' me "should I not", or "should I peel it?"
What I represent God only knows what lies for myself
Jealousy and hatred niggaz is out for my wealth
Will I perish? Later selfish for the rest of my life
'Cause those who live wrong is bound to live a short life
Will money be the root of my destruction?
Without the money I can't even seem to function
Now there's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
As complex as the situation gets
I remain, I maintain, ain't that much strain
To make me twist myself like Kurt Cobain
Ahh shit, I don't believe this
Some niggaz that I fucked with tryin' to pull a twist
But ain't that much twistin' in existence
And this is how you show me love
It shows me exactly what money's capable of
Now is it that expenses that make you wanna catch me slippin'
and pay a visit, cause this is, for all my homies
For jackers only come twist, to the fools in L.A. that know me
I'm back with the fifth of Henn
Kurupt and Dat Nigga Daz on the mash again
Now there's, nowhere, for me, to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
Now there's, nowhere, for me, to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
I give it to you like it is, got no time for no games
In the world of madness, will my composure be the same
Will my friends be around when they rush me in the ground
A lost soul lost forever, never ever to be found
Life ain't what it seems, for the niggaz full of schemes
On the hood full of cash don't wanna blast for the green
These six bitches wanna get a nigga caught up
For what, a simple nut, a simple fuck
Daily it enhances the penitentiary chances
To survive in nineteen ninety-five
So I got nineteen ninety-five ways
To survive nowadays
Time and time again, I bust a rhyme again
'Cause I'ma get in deeper shit if I convert to crime again
Out to mentally convert me, the same niggaz out to hurt me
It irks me, strenuous controversy
What's next on the list to complete
After all this shit that popped off on the street
And all eyes on me, but I won't change sides
'Cause what I represent I represent 'til I die
It's time for me, to grab a tall glass of Hennessey
Ya see my ways is to phase all them niggaz that try me
Leave 'em layin' stiff if they ain't on IV's
I beez the hardest, regardless fool
Livin' life day and night stayin' hard and cruel
Keep my cool, until my mood abruptly switch
Then I'm on a niggaz ass like bumpy zits
It's no remorse when you cross my course
I'm not a hunter, but take a nigga out for sports
Don't resorts, to thinkin' you could get with this
Or you will be a eulogy if you insist to diss
Mista Tray Dee, from L O N G
B E A C H, where the hardest gangstas be
Twenty-first was the worstest turf on the earth
Yet I feel I was meant to represent from birth
'Til I die, you wonder why it ain't no secret
Motherfuckers best be in love with this G shit
There's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
There's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
There's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
There's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
There's, nowhere, there's nowhere for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
There's, nowhere, for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
So di, who was that girl next to your man today?
That was his next-door neighbor
(girl's laugh)
Next-door neighbor di?
Yeah
Comeon now, your gonna like by that
Well I mean yeah, cause like, yeah...
Di! he's lying, he's been playing you this whole time
No he hasn't
Di, who hangs out with their next door neighbor at the mall without telling
Their girlfriend?
Like, oh yeah I'm just gonna go to the mall, I think she'll think it's cool
Exactly
I don't think so
Yeah, but I trust him
But you have honesty and he obviously, I mean he left you to go with her
Hold on time out, time out
You gonna believe this guy di?
I don't know why they mad at me
They can't catch me but still they after me
When we deal face to face, is a tragedy
You ask why i got my gun they might blast at me
Real niggaz, real shit, reality
Who gives a fuck if you niggaz is mad at me
Fuck around with Warren G its a tragedy
Real niggaz, real shit, reality
Warren G top dog
Patrollin the beach
Niggaz say they as hard as bitch
But they're as soft as a peach
Claimin the G of all G's
Please
I come blowin through like the breeze
Sittin on threes
Post it
Coastin mashing down Pacfic Coastin
The bomb chrome rims black on black Yukon
With nuts hangin' from the city
Where the bangers is being banging
it dont seem like shit is changing
I holla'd at the homey the other day
G'ded up at the park sippin alisah
One of the homeys took a beaten
So now we spend at being a gang
of checking at the meetin like cycles repeatin
It's just another sunset fall in sea
I can here the homeys in the past callin me
And you know what i discovered
What they keep saying
Keep your mind on your money
muthafuckers and shake busters
Have you ever sold millions
But yet you niggaz persist to talk shit
Get of my dick
You never catch me slipping
Rollin with the heat
Slap the clip in
I never thought the world would started trippin
My life is a trip, though
Hit the crip though
Blow the whistle
They think i banged
So i packed a pistol
Warren to tha G is a G
I don't fuck with you nigga
So don't fuck with me
Let's ride to the east side
Slide like a fo
I packs a fo-fo
When i'm steppin out doors
To the bang to the buggy
If i speak then i spoke
Warren G do it every time to you Locc
Get the party beat like blaze and smoke
The east side and the beach
West side of the coast
You know the niggaz that i ride with
Hogs, attack dogs
the same niggaz i'm down to die with muthafucka
Who's the man
I've been from London to Japan
Stomp land to land
To the Egyptian sands
You can't check me
Dis-respect me
Or mop me up
With the base bumpin' out my truck
And all these police trying to lock me up
Money rules the world
And I made the loot
So don't make me shoot
Cuz trying to mash
Will get you done every time
I ain't trying to hurt nobody
Met you by surprise,
I didn't realize
that my life would change forever

this is a little story about a lazy old man.
it's been years and years
and years gone by without a solid plan.
digging deep for motivation,
why it seems so hard to find.
he's been living like this for oh so long,
this way of life stuck in his mind.
a good kick in the ass is what he needs,
no one hears his silent pleas.
although people around him would tend to agree,
a life of living this is a bad disease.
it's a bad disease.
it's a bad disease.
it's a bad disease.
a will for change is a thought desired,
to achieve his goals to take him higher.
in his thoughts he seems to care,
but this laziness lingers in the airs.
a fresh breath not polluted with this disease.
i can hear him screaming saying please...
please...please. help me now,
take me by the hand.
this rut i'm in, makes me so bland.
so used to sitting, sitting on the couch.
feeling like a fucking goddamn slouch,
Before you turn your back,
Just let me say somethin'
you know it's true
this ain't no more about me!
If you open your eyes
and listen real clear
you can hear them whispering in their ears
Their talking about you
and it's kinda mean
not to be a child
but their steppin' all over your feet.
You can pretend not to hear
you can pretend it's not true
but one day
it's all gonna catch up to you!
They'll be happy
and laughing too,
i guess this won't be the time to say:
"I told you"
REALITY it's right now!
I tried to warn you
but you just blocked
me out!
It's all your fault now
you must take the blame,
for everything you did
now nothings the same
I was a fool
and now i must say
take a look in the mirrow
who are you today!
Everything they said it came true you fell for they act
now look who's the fool!!!
Yeaaaaaaaa yea yea!
REALITY, it's right now!
I tried to warn you
but you just blocked
me out!
It's all your fault now
you must take the blame,
for everything you did
now nothings the same
Can't you see
you were hurting more than me
but not, not anymore!!!
your times up,
take your bags and leave
i thought i could help you
make you believe
that this is....
REALITY!
I tried to warn you
but you just blocked
me out!
It's all your fault now
you must take the blame,
for everything you did
now nothings the same
*Chorus*
Money(x5)

(Wake me up from this dream

Cause things anit really how they seem to be
Started off as a youngin with a big dream

On the big screen people did me bogus
They knocked my motivation saying stop rapping
It's not cha occupation now I'm making paper more
Then I ever did rocking shows and hitting places that chu never been
I member back then most the girls turned me down
But since my money came they claim that I drive em wild
I do not need a chick I need to do me
But if you talking groupies then imma do three
I keep my circle small I mess wit a few a lot of people phony
I gotta stay on cue
*Chorus*

I lost a lot of people but I don't feel abandoned
I swear I'm on a mission that's what I'm here
For people changing on me but I just let em go
I came up with no daddy yeah that's kinda sad
And when I see em he wonder why I don't call em dad
I only love one woman in this whole world and that's my grandma
Without her would be a cold world I'm trying to get it in
I'm trying to live my dream a lot of people doubted me
But I'm doing my thing I don't need a chick
Because they bring drama I gotta focus
On my needs and get this money proper
*Chorus*
Money(x5)
Yeah that's all that I know (that I know)
She say she wanna be my wifey (wifey)
I can never go (Oh no)

Sometimes life so hard but don't give up you can win
Sometimes life impossible can't seem to get nothing done
Every move you make something always in your way now
You try a little harder they'll be a brand new day
I see my brothers crying and no one helps them lord
And just as it was written father now against son
He's turned out on the street now his dreadlocks start growing
You've got to stand up now and face reality
You've got to stand up now and face reality
You've got to stand up now and face reality
Sometimes life so hard but don't give up you can win
Sometimes life impossible can't seem to get nothing done
Every move you make something blocking your way now
Try a little harder they'll be a brand new day
I see my sisters crying no one helps her lord
It's just as it was written many years ago
She turned out on the street now her belly is showing and
You've got to stand up now and face reality
You've got to stand up now and face reality
You've got to stand up now and face reality
Sometimes life so hard but don't give up you can win
Sometimes life incredible can't seem to get nothing done
And every move you make something always in your way
You try a little harder they'll be a brand new day

..straight for you, anything in the world, just say the name, I'll do it
High as the cloud I reach, always a lone street
There's no limit too much, you can call me
You should know that girl, by now, by now
You should know that girl, I will, I will
You should know that girl, by now, by now
You should know that girl, you should know that girl
I did it wrong, so deep that I can't escape your wall
And I don't wanna leave you not at all, not at all
Out of everything that I had to dream about, you're my favorite topping
I do everything I can, you too believe in me as I do in you
Make no mistakes, survive the level of my love
I know how much you care, you should know that I will be right there
No matter the cost, because I do anything for you girl, I pull the strings for you
Anything in the world, just say the name I'll do it
High as the cloud I reach, always a lone street
There's no limit too much, you can call me
You should know that girl, by now, by now
You should know that girl, I will, I will
You should know that girl, by now, by now
The uncreative juices flow from all but a selective few
and even those they tend to be wasted,
you have taken pride in a lifeform that you think you know
but what you do not know is it's rotting,
it is so unfortunate that this is how our world must be
but why must i accept reality, is this reality?
how can i exist amongst you people when i feel this way
when all that seems so wrong is everywhere,
A world without substance feeling so superior
i am discontent with lies and with ineffective lives,
should i grieve for mankind or live out my life
to be free of pain i'll want it back again,
so to be one with man i must be false to myself
any effort's futile for my life is just mine,
i have visions of worlds that are unparalleled
my attempts are in vain to walk this earth without shame,
for being human,
This is my reality and you do not have to accept it
you are only human with excuses and complaints,
couldn't you be something greater come on now you know the answer
you are so absorbed with your own pathetic lives,
why should i feel pity for you i don't think i know the answer,
have you ever thought about opening your closed eyes,
what is it that you're afraid of, don't you want to see yourself,
As I take a look around to see everything that's going on around me, people
that can clearly see, they're trying to be blind so they wont be a part of
what I call reality, something deep inside of you and me, hidden somewhere
back where you can't see, you're so afraid that you can't set it free.
I don't know what's so bad to be real, I don't know why you're afraid to
feel, what you gotta lose it can't be much, the only thing you seem to lose
is touch.
I gotta know... wont you let me know... I can't believe... hey Ive gotta live in my reality...
reality.
there's a tendency to look away if something in our lives leads us astray, you might have to
find yourself today a different
one than you were yesterday. How do thirst and hunger really feel, what's the loneliest you'll
ever be, it's all somewhere
back
where you can't see, you're so afraid that you can't set it free.
I don't know... I gotta know... wont you let me know... I can't believe were
always looking for truth in every lie we see... reality.
What youve got to lose it can't be much, what you're gonna do you're out of touch, who
you're gonna be is hard to see
Here on earth we see destruction
It has gone to far
We must change for new directions
Use your mind or fall
See through the past what we have done
Disaster soon will come
Hell after life or hell on this earth
Will we be rebirthed
Reality !
Time is short years are counted
Generations lost
See the truth ! We are hunted
We must pay the cost
See through the past what we have done
Disaster soon will come
Hell after life or hell on this earth
Will we be rebirthed
Nature bleeds for our disposal
We must point our view
You cant use your nuclear weapons
You must hear the calls
See through the past what we have done
Disaster soon will come
Hell after life or hell on this earth
Will we be rebirthed
We must gather now for a future instead of hell
You keep calling but I'm not at home' to give me your explanation
I'm not waiting on the telephone with a feeling of frustration
I always thought that if you understood
You'd clean up this mess and you'd do me some good
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
Can't you see there's nothing in your head and your body's on vacation
I keep hearing what I never said, you got me in your conversation
Now it's too late and you get what you see
I don't like this hatred, it just isn't me
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
I don't need you anymore, I'm not the man you're looking for
Jumped in a gang at age 15
And shot while playing with his brother
Who's going to tell his mother
Little Jean never reached 18
A bottle of pills found by her bed
No one cares that's all she ever said
She said to me reality
I knew a girl that had to quit high school
And get a job to support her baby
Still her parents call her lazy
And Tommy's dad gets drunk and mad
Takes a bat across his head
A perfect picture of a modern family
Is that way it should be reality
Too fast to live too young to die
But it makes me sick when I think why
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to feel
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to heal
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to cry
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to die
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to hate
What I wouldn't give for-it's all too late
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to need
What I wouldn't give for-a chance to bleed
All the beauty I feel-I know it's not real
All the beauty I see- will never belong to me
I tried to hide
But I fell apart
Why do I try
And love is hard,
Either it flourishes or it starves,
And I would love to give my heart,
I just can't pull the trigger in the dark,
Well, now we've come to this,
We both agree that this love ain't bliss,
Oh, but before we cut these ties,
There's something I just need to emphasize,
Well, I pray all your wishes come true,
And if you're in need, help is offered to you,
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity,
And may all your dreams become reality,
And love needs pain,
Just like the sunshine needs the rain,
Without the love shining,
All of this water falls in vain,
Well, now we've come to this,
We both agree that this love ain't bliss,
Oh, but before we cut these ties,
There's something I just need to emphasize,
Well, I pray all your wishes come true,
And if you're in need, help is offered to you,
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity,
And may all your dreams become reality, oh,
I pray all your wishes come true,
And if you're in need, help is offered to you,
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity,
And may all your dreams become reality,
Now we've come to this,
You cannot hide, it's infront of my eyes, illusions made me blind
You just said goodbye, need no alibi, walked right out of my life
You were beautiful, wonderful, girl I was mesmerised
Lead me on, gave me hop, hope
You causing this pain, give me a heart attack, changed my reality
Can we just back just like that, is that a possibility?
I'd rather say no no no no, cause you wanna go go go
Girl I'm hoping no no no no, but you wanna go, that's my reality
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality, reality
Make me believe that you were right for me, I was still living the dream
Blind to your games, lied to my face, cut my hopes with a blade
When you changed my world, unpredictable, exploded like a grenade
Tell me why did I fall for a lie, couldn't you just stay the same?
You causing this pain, give me a heart attack, changed my reality
Can we just back just like that, is that a possibility?
I'd rather say no no no no, cause you wanna go go go
Girl I'm hoping no no no no, but you wanna go, that's my reality
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality, reality
Why'd you have to change, change, my reality? Ohhhhh
You causing this pain, give me a heart attack, changed my reality
Can we just back just like that, is that a possibility?
I'd rather say no no no no, cause you wanna go go go
Girl I'm hoping no no no no, but you wanna go, that's my reality
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality oh hoo
Reality, reality
I see black you see white
I want darkness you want light
I want time you want space
I go slow you want to race
Do you think we might agree
In this lifetime hopefully
Or do you think we stand a chance
You live in one reality and I live in another
And I could wade through fantasy but I don't need the trouble
No matter how we disagree I know you'll come around
You're never gonna live this down
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I say wrong you say right
I want day well you want night
I want time you want space
I keep up you set the pace
Do you think we might agree
In this lifetime hopefully
Or do you think we stand a chance
You live in one reality and I live in another
And I could wade through fantasy but I don't need the trouble
No matter how we disagree I know you'll come around
You're never gonna live this down
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
Translucent
Life is lucid
You can see right through me now
Oh won't somebody save me
Or bring me back somehow
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down in the end
I'm never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Reality we must face
cause day by day time goes to waste
We've got to teach the children what they should know
We've got to teach the children how they should grow
'Cause they want to learn the truth
Teach them right now
/: Reality we must face, oh Lord
cause day by day time goes to waste
We've got to clothe the naked, 'cause they are poor
We've got to care for the whole, we can do no more, oh Lord
'Cause they have learned the truth
There's a space shuttle, in the sky tonight
a moonlight sky and the stars are very bright
he wants to go and fight them on his own
he's living in the bedroom, all alone
And he's seeing - things he has never - ever seen
He's in the real reality - he's blown his mind
And things, are being seen so differently in the real
reality
-he's blown his mind
There's a devil in the fire changing colour so much
warm hands in the fire - no burning touch
can't wait to meet them - go upstairs - there's and evil
[Male voice:]
Remember I told you when you started...
The guys who last in this business... are the guys who fly straight
But the guys who want it all, chicas, champagne, flash...
They don't last
[Intro:]
[Crayon:] Yo Rock?
[Rock:] Yo what up son?
[Crayon:] You know we the last ones left right?
[Rock:] Yeah man, everybody falling off, mainstream, underground man
it's crazy
[Crayon:] So you ready to do this?
[Rock:] Yeah we got to man, know what I'm sayin, gotta show 'em how
real Hip-Hop is made man
[Crayon:] No doubt, no doubt
[Rock:] So let me get up on the mic real fast, show 'em how it's done man
[Crayon:] Uhn huh
[Rock:] Check it out
[Woman voice: Crayon and Rock are the Longshots]
[Rock Shabazz/l]
You portray
The loudest gunfire with great aim
Movie-like that snipes anybody on sight
I see, psychos and youngens that's bustin and pluggin
With no aim so children gets maimed and slain
Catch one in they brains
You talk about
Hardcore dons holding it down behind the walls
Runnin the yard, doin they bid
I see, brothers corrupted that's lost in the system
Forgotten, treated like pigs
Cryin cause they missin they kids
You talk about
Pimps and macks with chicks in packs
Going rawdog laying broads on they backs
I see,plenty STD's and HIV
An aids epidemic leads to R.I.P
You talk about
Niggaz who caught five or nine from forty-fives and nines
Survived to brag in their rhymes
I know, niggaz who caught one and died or lodged in they spine
Now they paralyzed with sores wishing they could walk
[Hook: Rock Shabazz]
So what's reality?
Truth distortion for a salary
Making the songs that revolve around the world
Spit reality raps, but in actual fact
A stereotypical trap
From which you never come back
So all my real niggaz (yeah!)
If you still with us (What!)
Don't feel you gotta front like you peel triggers
Can't believe it even if I see it under my eyes cause in reality
In this city the realest niggaz never survive
[Crayon:]
While these rappers got they beef cooking
They'll never see bookings
They probably two-waying each other when nobody's looking
They probably laughing how these younger kids is dying
They probably fascinated by the products they be buying
Lying, on the radio
Money in an envelope
Saying you tired of that weak shit but you still play it though
Well I'm the antidote
Crayon's the cannibal
Bringing a sledge hammer to your muthafuckin cantalope
So called drug czars
Spit bars, switch cars
Use they rep to fuck video broads
Young ones wanna blow up just to show up
The same lifestyle B-E-T trying to show us
But this the hold up
Longtime coming
Big change, switch names
Longshots gunnin
Lift chains, take rings
All ya'll running
Spit game , new thang for all ya'll fronting
[Hook]
[Male voice:]
And if you think we gon bury you with diamonds and shit on
you got another thing coming
[Crayon:]
When the music stops all these fads go out of style
A bunch of single mothers play dads for fatherless childs
Crooked fingers throwing sets reppin blocks to be proud
But when it all go down what happens when nobody gets found
Who gives a "F" about a crown when nobody is left
The greatest is dead that's why they still bootlegging his best
Niggaz like Feds get gangstas and murderers glorified
But when they get indicted they the first to testify
Tell me why you only show respect to a criminal
When you hit 'em off with checks the only time he's feeling you
Behind bars all these thugs turn homosexual
But when they released to streets somehow they feel they better you
Why every rapper out got the same life story?
By now its more than obvious somebody's a phony
We the last one and only real Emcees
From the class sent before me, will it change we'll see
[Hook]
[Female sings:]
You won't believe the things I've seen
Life on the streets can be so cold
They lose their minds and sell their souls
It's still a mystery to me
You won't believe the things I've seen
The reality of it all is that reality is
What it is or what we think it is
Why are things the way they are?
Who said that the sky was in fact the sky?
And not the ground that we should walk upon
It makes you wonder
Why is green green? What if it's really blue?
And is what we think we think really true?
It is said that I think, therefore I am
Are we really thinking? Oh
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived, yeah yeah
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
What do you know about the chosen man?
And where in fact, where in fact is the Promised Land?
It is said that I think, therefore I am
Are we really thinking? Oh
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived, yeah yeah
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
If we are here, then where is there?
And if in fact we're here, then why aren't we there?
It is said I think, therefore I am
Are we really, really, really, really thinking?
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened and I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened and I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
To the house of wisdom, to the house of wisdom
To the house of wisdom
Yeah I said yeah ooh
Aah ooh oh
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
The reality of it all is that reality is
What it is or what we think it is
Why are things the way they are?
Who has taught us all that we know now
And is it for real?
It makes you wonder, it makes me wonder
another story,
always that cinderella syndrom blah,
it's making me sick just to hear them say,
"i need a white horse with a knight in shining armor" and gag me,
this is reality,
wake up,
and get out of this dream,
turn the page,
to one that seems,
interesting,
move along,
he's not waiting for you and your sitting here,
acting like you care,
but this is reality and why can't you see,
that it's never gonna be the way you want it,
wake up,
go on,
move along,
get out of this dream your just wasting your time,
so what,
he's gone,
you lost,
just another story with a happy ending,
his life,
your life,
your dreams,
and you think to yourself this can't be happening,
so they tell you,
all these lies making you think it's the truth,
while these girls are out there acting like whores,
i hate to tell you taylor swift but it's the truth,
that we're not in romeo and juliet,
so you better wake up cuz this is reality,
(v2:)(chorus:)
no it can't be happening
Walking through
Through the shadows of my past
Waiting for you to come back
Time is all i need
Why won't you come back to me
Cause your somewhere out there ( somewhere out there )
With no reality
How will i get by
With the rest of my life
well I
I need to find
The part of me
Inside of me
I left behind
Life just give it to me
I know it was meant to be
Cause your somewhere out there ( somewhere out there )
Every now and then
I need some time to myself
I need some time to think
So I can breathe
'cause out here in the world
You know some things will never change
You're just another number
With a face
So don't fool yourself
Into believing what you see
It's only illusions
A prodigy
I can feel you running through me
It's in my mind and I'm thinking clearly
I can't tell what it is that you do to me
Just look into my eyes and you will see
Reality
Through the years I've learned
It's so hard to find
Something to believe in
Peace of mind
So don't fool yourself
Into believing what you see
It's only illusions
You hold my hand, you don't understand
do you mean it's fantasy? No babe! Reality!
A gleaming white dress, like covered in snow
a sad creature, bloodstained
A gleaming white dress, like covered in snow
a sad creature, which i found in my dreams.
You hold my hand, you don't understand
do you mean it's fantasy? No babe! Reality!
You hold my hand, you don't understand
do you mean it's fantasy? No babe! Reality!
Who did this to you, what are you afraid off?
are evil throughts teasing you?
Your bleeding eyes are stinging in my heart,
I can feel your coldness, can feel your pain.
You hold my hand, you don't understand
do you mean it's fantasy? No babe! Reality!
I can't protect you, even if it's my most humble wish
my hands are tied, the dreams won't end
keep going on my little angel, don't give up the hope
there will come better times, and you'll stand up again
Remember the times of liberty
When ideas and hopes were dancing
On the sundance of life letting free
For long the waiting seemed so fine
Longing to reveal cherished vision
Changing the innocence in line
Time betrays the serenade of illusions
Tonight i sense the years' decay
An unveiled futility
Life is concealed within the days
I refuse to see
I stand for my dying pride
I refuse to see
The sight of cold reality
Many are the years, and yet I feel
This path was never designed to be
Why do darkening shades conceal
The hour when i ceased to see
Tonight i sense the years' decay
An unveiled futility
Life is concealed within the days
I refuse to see
I stand for my dying pride
I refuse to see
The sight of cold reality
I refuse to see
I stand for my dying pride
I refuse to see
The image of the world we see
Turns into another reality.
Can you feel it?
Do you believe it?
The image of the world we see
Turns into another reality.
Can you feel it?
Do you believe it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
And through the sky I'm falling
all troubles out of reach
below my weightless body
a red and golden ocean spreads
The licking flames are shining
lava right ahead
ignore impending dangers
Met you by surprise, I didn't realise that my life would change forever,
saw you standing there, I didn't know I'd care,
there was something special in the air.
Dreams are my reality, the only kind of real fantasy,
illusions are a common thing, I try to live in dreams,
it seems as if ít's meant to be.
Dreams are my reality, a different kind of reality,
I dream of loving in the night and loving seems alright although it's only fantasy.
If you do exist, honey, don't resist, show me a new way of loving,
tell me that it's true, show me what to do, I feel something special about you.
Dreams are my reality, the only kind of reality,
may be my foolishness is past, and may be now at last,
I'll see how the real thing can be.
Dreams are my reality, a wonderous world where I like to be,
I dream of holding you all night and holding you seems right,
perhaps that's my reality.
Met you by surprise, I didn't realise that my life would change forever,
tell me that it's true, feelings that are new, I feel something special about you.
Dreams are my reality, a wonderous world where I like to be,
Illusions are a common thing, I try to live in dreams although it's only fantasy.
There is not much of nice talking
Except when we are side to side sitting
To exchange laughter and little whispering
There is not any peace of mind
Except when we are face to face in kind
Of eating away all minutes and we are so much aligned
There is a decision never be any better
Than to say goodbye even in tearful stammer
What is real?
I can’t see it clearly...
Shadows on my eyes, low noises are heard
I feel the cold beneath my feet
And my senses now are lost
Have I been corrupted?
It seems like a punishment
someone is trying to tell me something
I can’t distinguish what is real... I agonize...
In a twisted pain
A storm raises in my head
(Chorus)
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
It’s time to free yourself - In this hell
It’s time to feel yourself - In this hell
It’s time to free yourself - From this hell
Suddenly I’m waking... "strange places..."
Surrounded by unknown things...
It is a puzzle?
What am I doing here "is it real?"
Questions without answers tormenting me...
Closing my eyes I finally see
There’s an answer that no one has told
I feel the fire that burns my flesh
And my skin are now being ripped
Freedom to my dammed angel
Unleash my demon so I can beat him
Releasing my soul, forces around us
From the shadows and light they arise
We must balance the forces of life
Good and evil, wrong or right
Let the demons and angels fight
To protect the free will
Cause we have the right of choice
Choose what is right, I’m choosing life
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
It’s time to free yourself - In this hell
It’s time to feel yourself - In this hell
It’s time to free yourself - From this hell
"I forgive you my demon
I always faced the strong situations
I always made my own decisions
I gotta some time to think and fell me alive
I gotta 23 years old now
and my life it's hard because you
you wanna bring me so down
I waste my years
fallowing something that I don't know
But now It' done
You always tried to lie to me
I never trust and I say so fuck you
Because this time I feel this inside
Go on my way without a name
I heard the people speak on my back
They don't know what I'm feelin' this time
I waste my years
fallowing something that I don't know
Met you by surprise, I didn't realize
that my life for change forever.
Saw you standing there I didn't know i care
there was something special in the air.
Dreams are my reality, the only kind of real fantasy,
Illusions are a common film, I try to live in dreams
it seems as if its meant to be
dreams are my reality a different kind of reality
i dream of lovin' in the night and lovin' seems allright
although it's only fantasy.
If you do exist, honey don't forsist
show me in your way of loving
tell me that is true, show me what to do
i feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality the only kind of reality
maybe my foolish next has passes
and maybe now at last
I'll see how the real thing can be
dreams are my reality a wonder's world where i like to be
i dream of holding you all night and holding you seems right
perhaps that's my reality
Met you by surprise i didn't realize
that my life for change forever
tell me that is true, feelings that aren't you
i feel something special abaut you
Dreams are my reality a wonder's world where i like to be.
And you can tell me that is true
....
The moment that our eyes met, our heart skipped a beat
I was still, the heat went through my body
The feeling was real, this feeling is real
Hold me baby, close the door,
Let go
I wanna dance tonight until we lose control
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Forget about the world boy, come and dance the night away
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me uW if I'm dreaming
If I'm drea-drea-dreaming
Get close and feel my body
It's turning me on
What took you so long?
To come and give it to me
Hold me baby, close the door,
Let go
I wanna dance tonight until we lose control
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Forget about the world boy, come and dance the night away
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me uW if I'm dreaming
If I'm drea-drea-dreaming
I want you, want you right here
I want you, want you, need you right here with me
Right now!
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Forget about the world boy, come and dance the night away
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me up if I'm dreaming
Verse 1: In my dreams, we're together
In my dreams, what we have will last forever
As I lay here, all alone
I only think of you
Hook 1: Never met anyone quite like you
Who can make me feel, the way you do
Chorus: But like the rain
I keep falling for you
I don't know how to wait
And I don't know what to do
This feeling in my heart
No one can take away
I just keep falling....like the rain
Verse 2: When I awake, you're still on my mind
And I realize that true love is hard to find
But I found it, when I married you
And looked into your eyes
Hook 2: Ever had this feeling before
But I know, this feeling can't be denied
Chorus
Verse 3: One day you walked into my life
And nothing's been the same
Not having you beside me
Is driving me insane
Ending Chorus: Like the rain
All I know is I keep falling for you
I don't know just what I'm gonna do
Like the rain.....
Tonight this feeling is driving me insane
Like the rain....I keep falling for you
I don't know.....
Reality
I have a picture of you in my head
But that’s nothing
Compared to the real thing
In my head
I can’t smell your cologne
In my head
I can’t feel your touch
In my head
I don’t blush when you smile at me
In my head
You’re not really there
Chorus
In reality
Your eyes glisten
Your smile pulls me closer
In reality
When you touch me
A tingle shoots up my spine
In reality
I like you
And I don’t care what you think
I just wish
That we could be
Together
I just wish
That you would feel
The same as I do
I just wish
That the fantasies
In my head
Would become reality
Reality
Chorus
My feelings
Are like nothing I’ve ever felt
It’s not that weak
It’s not that strong
It’s in between
It’s not that calm
It’s not obsession
It’s in between
When it comes to reality
It gets
Confusing
Chorus
Reality pulls you closer
Reality pulls you farther
Reality pushes you away
Reality is here to stay
Reality
Verse 1
Picked up the phone
Dialed your number
Click
I can't forget
The way things used to be
Felt so good
Had me saying oh
You know it ain't always money
But don't it sound funny
Everyday is my day when I'm loving no one
Hook 1
Is it reality
To think true love was made for me
Cause of the pain I feel
When the phone rings
And it ain't for me
Most of the time
I read myself to sleep
7 days a week
And I can go on and on and on
You see
But this time could mean
I'm running outta love
Verse 2
Late at night
When there's no one around
I can feel the tingle in my hand
Felt so good
Had me saying uh
You know it ain't always money
But don't it sound funny
Everyday is my day when I'm loving no one
Hook 2
Is it reality
To think true love was made for me
(Was it made for me)
Cause of the pain I feel
When the phone rings
And it ain't for me
(It ain't for me)
Most of the time
I read myself to sleep
7 days a week
(But I'ma go on)
And I can go on and on and on
You see
But this time could mean
I'm running outta love
(Oh out-ta love)
Running outta love
(Oh out-ta love)
Bridge
I remember love
I remember like it was yesterday
I remember love
Picked up the phone
Dialed your number
Click
Hook 3
Is it reality
To think true love was made for me
Cause of the pain I feel
When the phone rings

And I can go on and on and on
You see
But this time could mean
Hook 4
Is it reality
To think true love was made for me
Cause of the pain I feel
(Pain I feel, the pain was real)
When the phone rings

7 days a week
(But I'ma go on)
And I can go on and on and on
You see
But this time could mean
Hook 5

And I can go on and on and on
You see
But this time could mean
I'm running outta love
I'm running outta love
(Oh out-ta love)
Running outta love
You can't understand now is time to change things
People live scared for all the blood that you've shed
Tell me where did you get the right to kill other human beings?
Violence is a closed lane!
Why don't you listen to the deep calling from your heart?
It's not weakness giving your back to these death trends
Maybe it's not too late to replace weapons by words
Peace can be an open door!
Reality is brutality, don't close your eyes so don't see it
Reality is not a substance but a global revision of causes and effects
A billion of realities and everyone is true
Who is right and who is wrong?
Who's got the right to rule?
A million of mentalities, one for each and every one
Who is sick and who is sane?
Who's got the right to tell?
Don't claim you understand me
Don't tell me that you know how I feel
The way I see a situation is my reality
You can't move in into my mind
My private universe
But you can come and visit me in my reality
Don't claim you understand me
Sleeping, Dreaming night lights eyes closed
Deeper, fly around
Unconscious now, I'm gone
Catch me, I'm falling
Stop breathing, I'm reaching
For, get in line
Wouldn't you like to know?
Alice found your home,
Tangerines, kaleidoscopes
Bright lights, down the hole
Softly on Stones
Catch me, I'm falling
Stop breathing, I'm reaching
For, take your time
Enjoy the sky
Arms are out, before you die
‘Cause I'm gone
Get in line
Wouldn't you like to know?
Life is a journey and I am one man,
Fighting for passion and making big plans,
The future was so full of hope,
And that's what we all need the most,
I never lose hope.
I find myself turning to friends when I'm down,
Friends who are gone and are never around,
I fear I am standing alone,
A fear that has suddenly grown into Reality.
I've been running for years it seems,
With a heart full of hope I've been chasing a dream,
This old train's running out of steam,
It's time to crash and burn,
(Chorus)
I've been searching for an answer,
To chase all my day dreams away.
Unsatisfaction is my cancer,
Growing in me day by day.
I find my dreams are lies,
I guess that's the chance that we take,
I'll turn these lies to truths and lead you to me,
Change Reality.
Throw regret behind me and caution as well,
I'll fight till the end, make some stories to tell,
About how I never lost hope,
Even when the future was broke,
I never lose hope.
I've been running for years it seems,
With a heart full of hope I've been chasing a dream,
I pushed the train when it ran out of steam,
I never crashed or burned.
