We're bobbing on the surface
And the shadow glides below
They say she feels my heartbeat
Oh, but how I'll never know
We're bobbing on the surface
And the shadow glides below
They say she feels my heartbeat
Oh, but how I'll never know
That it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, that it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide
Take the highway through the Great Divide
I'm building you a pyramid
With limestone blocks so large
I drag them from the mountain top
You'll need a two car garage
I'm building you a pyramid
With limestone blocks so large
I drag them from the mountain top
You'll need a two car garage
And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, 'cause it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide
Take the highway through the Great Divide
'Cause it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, 'cause it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide
Take the highway through the Great Divide
Take the highway through the Great Divide
[Chorus]
A little sugar, honey suckle lamb
Great expression of happiness
Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you
It is true, the makings of you, oh
[Kanye West]
I do it for the fore-fathers and the street authors
That are not A&R;'s in the cheap office
Rappers that never got signed but they keep offers
Girls thats way too fine for us to keep off us
Gave her a handshake only for my man's sake
She in her birthday suit cause of the damn cake
Now there's crumbs all over the damn place
And she want me to cum all over her damn face
I never understood planned parenthood
Cause I never met nobody plan to be a parent in the hood
Taking refills of that plan B pill
Another shorty that won't make it to the family will
If I don't make it, can't take it, hope the family will
They aint crazy they don't know how insanity feel
Don C just had a shorty so it's not that bad
But I still hear the ghosts of the kids I never had
[Chorus]
[Kanye West]
No Electro, no metro, a little retro, I perfecto
You know the demo, ya boy act wild
You aint get the memo, Yeezy's back in style
Now when Rome go Gidget the other got Bridget
What's more tripped out though is they sisters
Nah, you aint listen, they black, they sisters
They momma, named them after white bitches
So next time you see me on your fallopian
Though the Jewelry's Egytian, know the hunger's Ethiopian
Stupid questions like "Is he gon be dope again?
Have You seen him? has anybody spoke to him?"
This beat deserves Hennessy, a bad bitch and a bag of weed the Holy Trinity
In the mirror where I see my only enemy,
Your life's cursed, well mine's an obscenity
[Chorus]
[Jay-Z]
This is my momma sh-t
I used to hear this through the walls in the hood when I was back in my pyjama sh-t
Afro's and marijuana sticks, seeds and the ganja hat will be popping like the sample that I'm rhyming with
Pete Rock, let the needle drop
I seen so much as a kid they surprised I don't needle pop
Taking sips of pop, six packs of millanips
Pink champel, Valentine L
Bally's on my feet help me balance out well
That and the sh-t I used to balance on the scale
I got it honest from the parties from my momma's
Virgin Mary's try to judge her, I'm like "where the Madonna's now?"
Give all glory to Gloria, they said "you raised that boy too fast, but you was raising a warrior"
We victorious, they'll never take the joy from us
[Kid Cudi]
Keep you hands up, get mine up
Don't let them take your fire
Keep you hands up, get mine up
Don't let them take your fire
Keep you hands up, get mine up
Don't let them take your fire
Keep you hands up, get mine up
Yeaaaah, okay
It's Pete Rock, Kanye, One, two, okay
It's Pete Rock, Kanye, One, two, okay
It's Pete Rock, Kanye, One, two, okay
It's Pete Rock, Kanye, One, two, okay
The edge of the moment
The glory of the kill
Thirsting for excitement
And hunger for the thrill
Screams around the corners
Sound like demons in the wind
Their voices pushing me
To where I've never been
A look at the cards and they just see the red
I say it's all in the head
Fear's a skin that you have to shed
If not you're better off dead
Time's on the edge means
I'm on the edge of time
Maybe no tomorrow
I live my life today
Luck is my religion
To the lady I will pray
I fear to see the black
In every tinsel town
They an try and take my pride
But they can never take my crown
A look at the cards and they just see the red
I say it's all in the head
Fear's a skin that you have to shed
If not you're better off dead
Time's on the edge
Life's full of time
Life's in my head means
The edge, I'm walking a fine line
Too young to be waiting at stop signs
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
'Cause there's something in me
You can't learn in school
They teach it on the street
It's the only rule
It's the edge
The edge, I'm dying in the classroom
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Keep your plans for my security
Because there's only one thing taking care of me
And it's harder than steel
It cuts like a knife
It's the way I run
It's a way of life
The edge
You can't hold me down forever
What doesn't kill me, makes me strong
If you can't take it, you can't make it
Out here on the edge for very long
The edge, I'm walking a fine line
Too young to be waiting at stop signs
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
'Cause there's something in me
You can't learn in school
They teach it on the street
It's the only rule
And it's harder than steel
It cuts like a knife
It's the way I run
It's a way of life
The world turned innocence
Can you hear me?
I confess I'm no redeemer
Can you hear me?
What shall I do?
I witnessed everything
Faith won't leave me
Mind my tongue
Faith don't leave me
Glow into words
This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I,
Boast in he cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped
Out there is a world on fire
Accursed the hanged one
Divine love for free
What a fateful night
And a grateful life
The choir echoes
"Every man his price"
Price
Light my agony
And crucify me
Void the law
At the ninth hour
Void the law
At the ninth hour
This is the edge now...
The world turns flesh again
Mystified are the final hours
No more fear in
No more fear in
Passover
The brook
Time it is at hand
Obscure the facts
A passion play
This is the edge now...
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
No more fear in
Come take a look
The old symbols they move
Wounds still bleed
That's creed
No more fear in
Can you see me?
Come take a look
Most of us will never know
How dark this world can seem
When life becomes more nightmare than a dream.
So to all of you who have survived
A visit to the edge,
I trust that you will understand this pledge.
Chorus:
I promise I will always leave
The darkness for the light.
I swear by all that's holy
I will not give up the fight.
I'll drink down death like water
Before I ever come again
To that dark place where I might make
The choice for life to end.
I've found that as I travelled
Through the inscape of my land
That mountaintops make valleys in between.
And when that nameless sadness
Like a cloud comes over me
I look back on all the brightness I have seen.
CHORUS
Bridge:
I realize that though my world
Might seem so torn apart,
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart.
And that I am the richest man
Though I must beg for bread,
For the very One who might condemn
Has called me friend instead.
CHORUS
I will always leave the darkness for the light.
I want that beat
Running down my veins all the way down to my feet
I want that rhythm
To make me go from sad to being so sweet
I've never felt like this before
Feel the power baby, feel the heat
Feel the temperature at the club and make your life more easy
I feel that edge coming to me
Baby don't you feel it when you hear this beat
I know you want, I know you want me
So come here and let this edge come right to me
I feel it coming right now
I feel it coming to me babe
I feel it coming right now
Let the edge go within me babe
I want that feeling to come inside of me and throw the pain away
I want that song to help me out and start a good brand new day
I can feel the power baby, I can feel the heat
Feel the temperature at the club and make your life more easy
I feel that edge coming to me
Baby don't you feel it when you hear this beat
I know you want, I know you want me
So come here and let this edge come right to me [2x]
I feel it coming right now
I feel it coming to me babe
I feel it coming right now
Let the edge go within me babe
Make my pain go away
Make my life so easy
To throw all of that sh*t away
And wake up to a brighter day
Feel the edge come into you
Feel the power go inside you
Don't let no one surround you
It's your life
Live your life the way you want to
Do what your mind tells you
Don't let it all get you
It's your life
It's your life
It's your life
It's your life
It's your life
Your life
I feel that edge coming to me
Baby don't you feel it when you hear this beat
I know you want, I know you want me
So come here and let this edge come right to me [2x]
I feel it coming right now
I feel it coming to me babe
I feel it coming right now
Let the edge go within me babe
I feel it coming right now
I feel it coming to me babe
I feel it coming right now
See the Hobbits, all holed up inside
A cave in the darkness but yet a wonderful view
And they never had a feeling of evil so shrewed
His Black Darkness upon his black steed
He's searching and seeking for those who try to hide
They can feel it, they don't understand
Black knight, flee from our side
Dark rider of night, you're not alive
Ride on back to nameless land
Theja - he's in a trance
Theja - the ring you have got
Theja - does not belong to you
He knows it too!
Now the Hobbits, they are holding breath
So their dark enemy stood in the air that they breath
But the sun still shines, there was light
And he could not see
He's paralyzed pulling inside
It was the ring he must try
Theja.
The ring was smithed from X?nteur, the darkest evil
of all free lands. Long did he believe that the ring was
lost in all eternity. But soon he found out, that
somehow it would survive the ages. So he sent out his
most horrible slaves to seek the ring - the Ringspirits
Distant crying was a warning
Another far sound and the darkness rode quickly away
With the one ring sparkling in his hand
Oh, lucky day!
Theja - the ring with eternal might
Theja - from the night
Theja - evil through and through
It will get you
When I was sent to walk this long cold way
I'd never meant to take it all this far
Nobody told me I was bound to stray
You gave me visions and cut out this part
When the journey is over
Then what will remain
But a churchyard of angels
Don't need no glory
The bottle and I
Don't need no sympathy at all
As I hang on the edge
Don't need no glory
Till the river's run dry
I won't cry for sympathy as I
Hang on the edge
When your were shackles chances passed me by
I've broken free
Now I'm free falling
Laid down my arms as you laid down the lie:
Those words you didn't say when I was calling
Fingers bleed onto the ivory
They dance on the keys
To a churchyard of angels
Don't need no glory
The bottle and I
Don't need no sympathy at all
As I hang on the edge
Don't need no glory
Till the river's run dry
I won't cry for sympathy as I
Cast your stone now he who never sins Clearly all your roles are now
defined(You've got yours but I have broken mine) Simply just reflections
of My honest professional belief that I am God(I am God) Stop me before I
go over the edgeStop me before I go over the edgeStop me before I...
Happy children specially in need (Send them to the dentist they will
bleed) Before you get to know exhesitate(Could be gay or could be
straight)Your mental state which separatesThe action from intention,
wash your hands (Wash your hands) Stop me before I go over the edgeStop
me before I go over the edgeStop me before I... Only for tinselOnly for
tinsel Stop me before I go over the edgeStop me before I go over the
Sometimes I'm walking on the edge
One false move and I'm falling down
But I can't find a reason not to jump and try to fly
Sometimes I cannot find my way
I don't know if I'm right or wrong
I'm hiding in deep frustration
I close my eyes and wish to die
Each word that is spoken, each promise that is broken
Is leading me straight to the edge
I can't close my eyes, I can't really hide
I have to meet my fate
Within I see the eternal wheel of life rolls on and on
The promised land is so closed at hand but I have to know
This is the edge - of life
I must find the key to set myself free
And release all my hidden fears
The mirror of life, the allseeing eye is pointing now at me
This is the edge - of lies
I'm kissing the edge
Feelings which are guiding our lifes
Are many times betrayed
We don't want to see how blank we are
Nobody cares where we're going
Our society has lost it's way
Resistance is hopeless, most people are boneless
They just take care of themselves
They will always be part of the machine
But they will never know it's aim
This is the edge - of life
I must find the key to set myself free
And release all my hidden fears
The mirror of life, the allseeing eye is pointing now at me
This is the edge - of lies
I'm kissing the edge
A crowded room in the dead of night
Bodies crash in the sound and sight
I see your face break through in a flash of a light
With eyes that seem to read my mind
I feel we've touched in another time
And suddenly my heart is coming alive
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me, oh I
I think I'm going over
Over the edge
The night unfolds like a lover's arms
But we can't talk, don't know where to start
We breathe as one but we're two worlds apart
So let's not question right or wrong
Wanna move with you 'til the night is gone
And suddenly this is where we belong
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me, oh I
I think I'm going over
Over the edge
If I'm going over, baby, come with me
All the way over, baby
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me, oh I
I think I'm going over
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me, oh I
I think I'm going over
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me, oh I
I think I'm going over
And I feel you calling me all night
Pulling me closer

as i travel far and wide
all the people that i meet
some are very kind to me
while some look to defeat
but the ones that i am thankful for
are the one that did me wrong
they taught me an important lesson
on how to get along
you have to work to get along in life
causes nothing comes for free
the easy way won't work out
wake up and try to see
there's nothing you could say
that i would want to hear
maybe when you wisen up
sometime late next year
and when there's darkness
and the lights are dim
i have no fear
cause i know we will win
those stupid minds and stupid thoughts
will always find what we were taught
was never easy
all those stupid minds in easy ways
will be stuck on a ledge
we have the edge on ignorance
and so do you
if you think this makes sense
Do you never feel like there's something missing?
Stuck in arole, just playin' your postion,
Even when you scream, it seems no one listens,
Free as a bird, but it feels like prison,
Never break tradition, suttin' like it's
Superstition,
And your marrige is about as boring as a politician
Now listen, what you need to do is change the way you livin',
It's your, don't explain your every decision,
Watever your vision, believe and make it happen,
Look at me, I'm a english rapper,
It's only one life here.
Gotta do you bruv,
Ifeel marvelous, how about you luv?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... ttell the people...
[Chorus:]
Everybody jump over the edge,
Everybody let go and just feel the music,
Jump over edge,
Everybody jump over the edge,
Everybody jump over the edge,
Everybody jump!
Don't know where the edge is,
I'll explain to you it's fine,
It's that line or that time,
Like your boss has been rude to you,
One too many times,
Out at night, might just have one too many pints,
Like when you got ambition and they tell you,
You can't do it,
Your body feel the music,
But your scared to move to it,
The edge is where you lose it,
Jump with me,
Don't quit your job,
Take the low road,
Spit in his tea,
Drink til' your pathetic,
Til'ya act like an idiot.
In athe morning you'll regret it,
Righr now it's brilliant,
As far as your dreams go,
You just gotta get em,
And as long as the beat plays,
Just move to the riddim,
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... ttell the people...
[Chorus]
Jump over the edge baby, just
Jump over the edge...
Come over the edge.
To infinite possibilities,
Sorta like a parallel universe your visiting,
But it's here on earth from the prison to the
Villages,
Open up your mind and you feel limitless,
Don't let them tell you what is real,
They don't realistically,
They said einstein was dumb,
How come he thought of relativity?
Thet just despicable, miserable individuals,
And every single syllable, they uttering,
Is cynical, it's typical,
Don't sit down waitin on a miracle,
Jump like jordan, like your tryna' reach the
Pinnacle,
It's only one life here,
Gotta doyou bruv.
I feel marvelous, how about you luv?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... do you feel good?
Yeah, ifeel good... ttell the people...
A crowded room in the dead of night
Bodies crash in the sound and sight
I see your face break through in a flash of a light
With eyes that seem to read my mind
I feel we've touched in another time
And suddenly my heart is coming alive
And I feel you calling me
All night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me

The night unfolds like a lover's arms

If I'm going over baby come with me
All the way over, baby
And I feel you calling me
All night
Pulling me closer
Wanna give you all of me
Oh I
I think I'm going over
Over the edge
One step closer to the edge,
What would you do if you had the chance?
There's not much time ahead,
No one can wake the dead,
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
Get set! Jump in head first,
You might fall, you might get hurt,
Don't go running backwards,
You might be scared, it doesn't matter,
Take a chance start over,
You'll never know, what if you'd like it better.
There's not much time ahead,
No one can wake the dead,
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
We only have one life to live,
Why are we afraid to make it better?
Get set! Jump in head first,
You might fall, you might get hurt,
Don't go running backwards,
You might be scared, it doesn't matter,
Take a chance start over,
You'll never know, what if you'd like it better.
Come on sing along,
All together shout it out loud.
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
One step closer to the edge,
What would you do if you had the chance?
There's not much time ahead,
Flowers are blowing in the wind
and I can see the sun
setting on the hill it's almost gone
and the hills are greener than I've ever seen
and this feels too real to be just another dream
now don't let me leave this moment
hold me in this where everything is clearer
than of all before and everything makes sense
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
as we sat down by the water
in my mind I felt
a gentle breeze blow softly against my face
and we talked for hours
it didn't seem to matter what about
as long as I was there with you
you showed me what it is to believe
in something greater than I can understand
yeah you showed me what it is to believe
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say stand on the edge and tomorrow don't close your eyes
take a look around you and tell me what you see
I am lost down an endless road.
Which path do I follow?
Which path do I follow?
I have all I need, and I still
want more.
Greed is inside of me, it won’t leave.
Give me more, cause I need more.
A little bit more and I will be fine.
I thank you now, that’s just what
I wanted.
Sorry I took from you, now I have all
I need.
Please forgive me, forgive me.
Did I hurt you? Don’t care if I hurt you.
So what if I lie and cheat and steal
anyway.
It’s over now, devils got my soul,
I hear the angels sing, the angels
sing for me.
