Old heart it's finally over
It ended with the dawn
Last night she packed her things to go
This morning she was gone.
It's ashame you had to lose her
'Cause you loved and held her dear
But she can't break you anymore
'Cause she'll never find you here.
See the roses all around you
They'll bloom here every spring
And you always did love bluebirds
Oh, just listen to them sing.
And you know I won't forget you
I'll come by from time to time
And on this tiny stone I'll write
Here lies a friend of mine.
Now all your friends have gathered here
The music played for to long
After all she's put you through
I'll bet you're glad to go.
Why, just last night I felt you break in pieces
While she had me on my knees
Now old heart you can finally rest in peace
(Sambora, Bryan)
Voodoo woman
I'll see you in my dreams
Gipsy woman
Down on Lonely Street
Gipsy was a friend of mine
In a sacred dream
Voodoo woman magic child
In time you will believe
Every time we say goodbye
Our love will rest in peace
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
So say a prayer and close your eyes
Come lay your body down to sleep
After we make love tonight
(sambora, bryan)
Voodoo woman
I’ll see you in my dreams
Gipsy woman
Down on lonely street
Gipsy was a friend of mine
In a sacred dream
Voodoo woman magic child
In time you will believe
Every time we say goodbye
Our love will rest in peace
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
So say a prayer and close your eyes
Come lay your body down to sleep
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
(Gary Moore)
He sees her face in the mirror.
But as he turns, she starts to fade.
He hears her footsteps behind him.
But when he looks, she's gone again.
He hears her voice in the darkness.
As he awakes, she calls his name.
He sees her shadow on the wall
and counts her tears in the falling rain.
She has passed away
a long, long time ago.
Why she haunts him to this day,
he'll never know.
Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
You must go, heaven is your home now.
Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
You must go, heaven is your home now.
Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
Last night I had a dream
A vision in the dark,
I found that I had been across the desert space,
Saw all the people behind a naked face.
I held out my hand,
Hoping you'd be there.
I could not understand all the reasons why
Faces from the past looking me in the eye.
Now the light has come
Breaking form the east
Someday we can find somewhere
To rest in peace.
I lost my control,
In a nightmare of being
Just a lonely soul
Without a hanging cross,
Standing all alone
[Preacher]
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
for this somber occasion
Please join us in the mourning of this U-47
It was a great microphone in it's day
until it met it's fate
One evening while it was in the studio
it was struck by the lyrical force of the Big Daddy Kane
So ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
May this microphone, rest, in peace..
[Big Daddy Kane]
Knock knock, guess who? Yes, ooh
The Bigger the B, the Iggah the I,
the Jigga the G is comin through
Yes I'm the one with clout, they're all talkin bout
To be frank, I have the flavor like sauerkraut
The microphone assassinator and furthermore
I murdered plenty rappers and believe that I'll murder more
So if you ask to give the Kane a go
You better treat me like drugs, and Just Say No
Because I utilize my skills to brutilize
And in a battle, man you should see what I do to guys
Whenever the mic's mine, I'll rock a hype rhyme
and come off, like dirty panties at nighttime
Cause any mic that I caress, I finesse
with zest, and just bless, best yet to progress
King Asiatic, no other rapper stands this
You couldn't be a King if you played hockey in Los Angeles
I gets pi-daid, top gri-dade, gotta admit ey
point blank, the kid's stri-daight
Cause when it comes to R-A-P-P-I-N, huh
I got it locked up like a bullpen
"May you rest in peace" -> 3X
"If this meaning doesn't manifest, put it to rest!" -> KRS-One
[Big Daddy Kane]
Rappers I get em and hit em and slit em and split em and rid em
Acquit em, when I get wit em, you can tell that I did em
I take em and shake em and bake em and ache em and break em
and rake em, you can't awake em from the comatose way I make em
Cause when you're messin with me -- you know what?
You can swallow a live grenade and you STILL won't blow up!
Pickin up the microphone you shouldn't dare
It's like bein on a Stairmaster, climbin and goin nowhere
You're perpetratin like you're ready and able
but couldn't rock a show, if the stage was a cradle
Your rhymes are old as an artifact, and you don't want no part of that
So don't even start it black
Anyone riffin I show them how I'm livin
And give them some of that treatment like my man Michael Bivins
I smack em up, flip em and then shove em down
Huh, oh I-ah-ah-I-ah-I-ah-I don't be fuckin around
To rip this microphone like this today
since eighty-seven I came a LONG, LONG way
To headlinin, all the way from supportin..
.. and I know you've been watchin me Norton!
Through my whole rap career, a lot of young, huh,
rappers sat there, and listened, a lot of young, huh,
rappers sat there, and wishin.. but..
you couldn't see the Kane with X-Ray vision
And just because you didn't see my crew for a few
A lot of people thought the Wolfpack was through
But if you think the Kane and Scoob and Scrap'll breakup
I tell you like Marvin Gaye, "wake up.. wake up.. wake up.."
Put it to rest, it's best to 'fess
Because the Kane is breakin rappers like the IRS
And consider this microphone the deceased
Now may it rest in peace
"May you rest in peace" -> 7X
Oh, if my wheel could take another turn
And if my life replaced itself again
I wouldn't want a single thing to change
Oh, it's been good, though it's been strange
And if my dreams were willing to come true
Oh, I would not even try to force them through
I'm sure there's things I've missed, that others preached
The goals they reached, they weren't for me
Rest in peace
Even though worries seem to mount
Don't let them count
Rest in peace
Throw all those miles and paper smiles away
Though you will willow pattern pictures through the rain
And swallow when your heart begins to breathe
Just like the birds, do what they please
'Cause you know, we ain't gonna be here all that long
And when I go I want to know I sung
If there's a road ahead, I'll jump right in
Just got to win, this is my hymn
Rest in peace
Even though your worries seem to mount
Don't let them count
Rest in peace
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to...
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me,
Now you can see
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY
OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE
Let's not pretend,
to justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
It ain't over motherfuckers
(No shit!)
As we enter, the beginning of the end
(The sounds you are about to hear, may be devastating to your ear)
The end of the beginning, fr-from the pits, from the ark
It ain't over, ai-ain't never gonna be over
We got the Paul Newman! Grave, Gravediggaz
The shadow, the dark side, wh-when you least expect
Uh-under the bed, lurking, lurking, yeah, forever
Gatekeeper, Grym Reaper, Ryzarector, Undertaker
There's-the-there's nowhere to run, no-nowhere to hide
It's a suicide, a suicide
'Cuz we got the constant elevation, constant, constant
So witness the diary of a madman
Come come, as we bring the sorceress, the sorceress
(I love it, I love it, I love it)
Pass-pa-pass the shovel, kid, we gotta dig another grave
One, eight hundred, suicide
The world, it ain't safe, it ain't safe no more
The world, it ain't safe no more
The world, it ain't safe, it ain't safe no more
The world, it ain't safe no more
The world, it ain't safe, it ain't safe no more
The world, it ain't safe no more
Strong he was and great in fame
People came to hail his name
Once again they travel wide
To walk a last time by his side
Germania she still is free
She owes it to his victories
The Roman Varus he did beat
Germanicus he saw retreat
Gone he is gone
All that lives comes to end
So now just Rest in Peace
Gone he is gone
A poison you can't defend
So now just Rest in Peace
A people strong to rule their land
United under his own hand
But some are here who cry today
Bus lost belief along the way
Adgandaster the Chatti lord
He fed him poison 'cause he feared the sword
A deed by traitor done
Called out to load the ships
They are sailing at dawn
With hundred men at their side
Flames from a distance
Lighting up the sky
And the warriors will rise
Armed with swords and arrows
Battle begins
They will fight for their pride
The sound of steel echoes in the night
The wind cries out loud
Into the night they are calling
To the ones dying brave
May they now rest in peace
Forever the battle is won
Twenty of the men are
Slowly going down
But the treasures are found
Back on the ship, the survivors
Scream out - the battle is won
The twenty men who couldn't
Make it to share their victory
May they now rest in peace
On the dragonisle, they are buried
Side by side
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished, but gone before
and lie in the tender arms of he who died for us all to
set us free
from hatred and anger and cruel tyranny
may they rest in peace - and rise in glory
All suffering and sorrow will be no more
they'll vanish like shadows at heaven’s door
All anguish and grieving will one day be healed
when all of God's purpose will be revealed.
Though now for a season lost from sight
the innocent slain in the blindness of 'right'
are now in the warmth of God's glorious light
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory
Lord give me wisdom to comprehend why I survive and not
my friend
and teach me compassion so I may live, all my enemies
to forgive
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished but gone before
And Lord keep them safe in your embrace
and fill their souls with your good grace
for now they see you face to face
How can you see?
December wind blows, it hits me coldly
Stay beside of me
So I can keep warm
But you are not here
Smile and cry
We shared everything, everyday, all night long
Smile to me and pray for me
Now I can feel you in everywhere
I remember your hard skin
I remember your heart beating
Tender and warm your arms
I was held softly
I remember our voices
I remember the time I spent with you
All the memories will not fade away
I remember your old skin
I remember your old speaking
Tender and warm your words
I was thought softly
I remember mild eyes
I remember the night I stayed with you
All the memories will not fade away
At the funeral
You were surrounded by so many flowers
As if I could see your heat
Rest in peace
My name it is Matthews, and I've got it made
A memorial maker - it's a profitable trade
I don't solicit business; there's no point in trying
What I like about my customers - they just keep on
dying
Here lies Frederick, mourned by his wife
He lead a blameless life
He couldn't win the way she treated him
His gravestone should have read
Here lies Fred - he's better off dead
Rest in peace, rest in peace
My name it is Matthews, and I've got it made
A memorial maker - it's a profitable trade
They bring the names of husbands, they bring the names
of wives
They want me to perpetuate their awful, dreary lives
Here lies John, run over by a bus
He was loved by all of us
His time on earth, what was it worth
When all is said and done?
Here lies John - we're rather glad he's gone.
Rest in peace, rest in peace
They come to me and spend all they've got
'Cause it costs quite a lot to be remembered
They think it is the only way
What would the neighbors say anyway?
It's so prestigious, even though you're not religious
Maybe one day I will carve a stone
Big enough for everyone
And written there for those who care
In letters ten feet high:
"Here they lie who were born to die"
Rest in peace, rest in peace
Rest in peace, rest in peace now my friend, it's the
Rest in peace, rest in peace now my friend, it's the
My name it is Matthews, and I've got it made
Voodoo woman
I'll see you in my dreams
Gypsy woman
Down on Lonely Street
Gypsy was a friend of mine
In a sacred dream
Voodoo woman magic child
In time you will believe
Every time we say goodbye
Our love will rest in peace
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
So say a prayer and close your eyes
Come lay your body down to sleep
After we make love tonight
Afraid to close your eyes
Too scared of what you'll see
The nightmares, blood, the horror
but it's just a dream
You know it's not for real
It's only in your head
Now lying down to sleep
Why do you feel so close to death
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
Awakened by your screams
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
No longer rest in peace
Is he real or fantasy
He infiltrates your brain
He knows your darkest fears
You know it's driving you insane
Attacking when you least expect
In the dead of the night
A grotesque sight of rotting flesh
Awakened by your cries
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
Awakened by your screams
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
No longer rest in peace
You hear his voice, you try to run
He sees your every step
He's right behind and with his knife
He 'll R.I.P. you to your death
He comes for you, you cannot hide
He wields his bloody knife
It R.I.P.s your skin, slashes your face
Tonight he ends your life
Lying in your own cold sweat
It's just a dream of death
He's not for real you're still alive
What are the bloodstains on your bed
Remove the sheets to reveal
A body torn and scarred
Confused and scared a dream come true
His laughter from the dark
Your worst nightmare realized
He's made of bones and flesh
Not haunts you in your sleep
He's real as is your death
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
Awakened by your screams
Terror in the night
Not as real as it seems
He's come to take your life
Each night I taste the silence
of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
when they turn round and float
Do you lie back and thing of england
as they shout in your face
stand up and give them flowers
mary full of grace
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each day I'm in the future
of a net curtained past
each day I'm out of pocket
time didn't last
Each night I wake up smoking
and my eyes start to sting
wish I could keep them open
when the trees start to sing
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each night I taste the silence
of the words in my throat
each day we hide in laughter
when they turn round and float
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
I can't look back
I don't know what should be
I'm waiting
I'm out of breath
Listen
Things are not so clear
Believe me this is
The only way to die
Time to be a human being
Has passed through this life
So rest in peace my friend
I only feel so fearless now
I have to trust me
I can see through
Every single tear
It's just my past
And it feels so clear
Memories
Things are right enough
This is my time to
Understand the meaning
Peace can be the only way to
Face my past today
I rest in peace my friend
{*scratched by 7L*} "It's Esoteric..", "rest in peace"
[Esoteric]
Yo Friday night, feelin right, fuckin with this bad chick
Gats click, now I'm hit, shit, watch the blood spit
I fall face down, background is H-Town
Needle drag, music stops, people call the cops
For a rap cat, shot dead in the back
Over a dame, for some reason of which I cannot explain
My name was little known at this time
'less we use the Boston, Mass. as the measuring line
My crime bein waxed, redirects, people's TV's set
Maybe you're seein the checks, or see 'em as threats
My fam cries at the wake, some guys do steaks
With their eyes on my tape, realizin my surprisin fate
Ten-to-five covered, then from five-to-eight
Now the average rap fan starts to gravitate
to the Ese-Esoteric, to see if they were sleepin
on a dope MC whose skills need peepin
[Chorus: Esoteric] + {*7L*}
It's tough stayin underground when you're six feet deep
And major labels profit off of that, but then there's freak
{"It's Esoteric"}, {"Rest in peace"}
And now everybody's checkin for my posthumous release
{*scratched twice*} "Death is a final step!" - RZA
"You know dead rappers get better promotion" - Jadakiss
"Death is a final step!"
[Esoteric]
Check.. now as I look down, it's kinda tough swallowin
the fact that I'm a dead rapper with a cult followin
Legions of fans got their hands on my old jams
And new fans, they were sayin "Oh damn!"
at every punchline, and now the rumors break and hit
Cause everybody knew that I was workin on some new shit
Cats askin, "Who's on it? Who produced it?"
Straight up, just ask deceased, let the man {"rest in peace"}
All my old friends are now sayin that's a spiritual
My mother wants my material
Girlfriends sayin that I'm lyrical, fightin over rights
Sellin R.I.P. t-shirts at open mics
Fans thought the East/West was comin to South
Got the Source van in front of my house
XXL and Elemental runnin their mouth
Got my dad depressed, he's bout to flip, put a gun in his mouth
[Chorus]
[Esoteric]
Now majors havin bidding wars, and deals on the table
Labels unstable cause my face is on cable
Even underground critics say that I'm the best that did it
Even though they shitted on my last hit-it
I don't get it, Sony pimped me up in a week
And now my acapella's flowin over wack commercial beats
They shot my video, with an Esoteric stunt double
in a Lex bubble, sayin it was footage from the night before the trouble
No red tape, just sample clearances and mad guest appearances
(Like who?) A lot of guys whom I never authorized
As my mother looks into the skies to apologize
Although I'm dead mom, my soul remains undaunted
Now you can actually afford the things you wish you flaunted
And even though every studio will be haunted
I finally got the major label budget that I wanted
[Chorus] w/ scratch variations by 7L
I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmm-mmm...
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
That doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't want to play
'Cause being with you
Touches me more than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know
You got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
You might misbehave
But 'til you do, I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know
I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here, beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?
The soldier in the grave is screaming for vengeance.
What did I fight for, what did I die for?
He's looking for an answer, looking for a clue.
And still he wonders: I really don't know.
Fight for the nation, fight for the peace.
So shut up, get down on your knees.
Fight for the nation, fight for the peace.
Screaming for vengeance, screaming for blood.
Still he wonders: Is there a God?
Give him the answer, give him the clue.
It's a soul on the run and that soul could be you.
So let him rest in peace.
You got to do your best to hate your enemy.
Kill for fun. We're never on the run.
Fight for your life, you have to be brave.
Fight to kill or you are nothing to save.
You better live today, you may be dead tomorrow.
Even if you ask you'll never know the truth.
You only live one time and time can't be borrowed.
I died so many years ago,
You can make me feel like it isn't so,
Why you come to be with me,
I think I finally know...
You're scared... ashamed of what you feel,
And you can't tell the ones you love,
You know they couldn't deal,
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
That doesn't make it real...
That's great but i don't wanna play,
Cos being with you touches me more than I could say,
And since I'm only dead to you,
I'm saying stay away,
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace, let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down, but I can't find my sweet release,
So let me rest in peace....
You know you got a willing slave,
And you just love to play the thought where you might misbehave,
Until you do I'm telling you stop visiting my grave,
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go,
But I follow you like a man possessed,
There's a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed,
If my heart could beat it would break my chest,
But I can see you're unimpressed,
So leave me be...
And let me rest in peace, let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down, but i can't find my sweet release,
[Verse 1: Dazastah]
Rest in peace to the innocent children who were shot in the back
Running from the military, Junta hot on their tracks
For the love that why their uncle packs a bomb in their bags
What the fuck, you'd do the same with no options in hand
So stop with the wack raps you illiterate stale
Horse shit, you just a piss in the gale force winds
Battling me like I have to start busting for you
I'm like a suspect package, I got nothing to prove
Fuck it, I'll serve you straight from the kitchen
And kill your fly shit like Norman Bates with a pigeon
Listen. I'm deaf and blind to your fallacy war
Like a land mine child victim all bandaged and sore
Damage and break you down until your spirit is vanquished
Like traditional ownership does to indigenous factions
It's more than just black and white, like racism
Cause the face of hate appears when you face the mirror
This more than people starving to eat
Cause food for thought is running short in this marketed scene
It's hard to believe when you feel like smashing the mirror
But Charlie Chimp will pick you up like an angry gorilla
[Verse 2: Ciecmate]
Yeah I'm back in that pattern...
I sit up late with a spliff and wait for the magic to happen
Just for rapping wack you're catchin a slappin
I'll put you under pressure like a pilot with cracks in his cabin
Have another shot, see if you can take this spot
I'm a play strategically and take everything you got
Ciecmate! Game over, now you know the deal
Here with my bro's and we're pro's in our chosen fields
Standing tall like a wall to wall, public letter blockbuster
Got a lust for life, plus a lot of love for those I trust with my life
I'm a live my life like I like on any given night and anything else isn't right
Time's ticking by, time's making changes, time's turning friends into strangers
I'm trying to find what the aim is, but time's limited
I've gotta make payments and for everyone, everyday it's the same shit
Big brother wants us all to put it in a statement
But it's built on lies like the Bush administration
The media be feeding ya and we just believe it huh?
Behind the curtain men are getting greedier
We need to peel the curtain back and hurt em bad
And then spread the wealth around to all those who've been getting held down
Can I get some help now? Or can I get a hell yeah?
I'm saying this for everybody's welfare
[Hook:]
"... now, may these MC's rest in peace"
"Rest in peace"
[Big Daddy Kane:] "may these MC's rest in peace
Because when I come to town, the population decrease"
[Verse 3: Drapht]
Rest in peace, two thousand and six shit changes quickly
Def to all man so I'm trained in lip read
Pick me like a gypsy picking a pocket
Depict me like David Hicks holding that rocket
A mix breed of Scottish and a modern day Australia's
Home but Mundine treats us like an alien, no
Man fuck that
Singing Waltzing Matilda with my rucksack
Cut back on the ego, leave rap to the albino
Rip you quicker than teeth wrapped around a T-bone
See know evil speech insightful
Solid gold heat like Hussein's rifle
I'm spiteful, only loyal if it's like that
Starve man's best friend, he's gonna bite back
What, it's just the way that it is
Dig your grave like letting Michael J. play with your kids
I can't live in this world full of rock heads
Finding a good one like finding the Loch Ness
Monster, and not Kody Scott
But down for my team and known what I got
When it's my shot, take it never look back
Or ever make it, dedicated to my fate a known gladiator
Yeah your favourite, I run with wind
Pauly Poltergeist and the Brothers Grimm, yeah you know me
[Verse 4: Trials]
Rest in peace bottom feeders, the scourge of the earth
Proof God doesn't need us, from fetus to birth
First. my mums didn't plan me, so meet plan b
The worker bee, Ron Burgendy where the pants be
Quite a big deal, 90 something kilo
Aim for the best but got Shaq at the free throw
Overweight. Shit I can't hold a job but I can hold a steak
Wash it down with a bunch of brown bottles
Plutonic made it for snake charmers
The bass bang harder than face planting in chain armour
Heavy metal, hammers banging the hang over
In my headspace, until it's dead weight
Until the next day, return of the Jedi
Sun up to sun down, return of the red eye
Dr Jekyl, Mr Trials
Aqui estoy thinking about you carnalito
Everytime you cross my mind tu sabes que me aguito
I remember when we used to kick back and have a blast
It's hard to believe now it's back in the past
I remember those times like it was yesterday
I knew if I was there and you were here it'd be the same way
We never thought we'd go through anything like this
Now we sit back and pray and say Rest In Peace
All the homies got your name tatted behind their neck
Some on their chest and back, arm just to show respect
You're always on our mind everyday and every night
We miss you carnal, and things just ain't right
[Chorus]
These firme memories, of my brother
They feel so wonderful
Rest In Peace, Rest In Peace
Every chance we get we're sitting by your grave site
Thinking about you, looking up in the sky
Mom sits back whiping tears from her eyes
We sit and talk about you and she starts to cry
She says how much she wants to hold you back again
In her arms like before, holding you by your hand
Every night we pray and think about you bro
It's hard to accept that you had to go
I sit back and drift and remenice of you
Of all the firme tiempos and the things we used to do
Simon carnal, you're in my mente all the time
Tu tienes primero and you'll never stay behind
Your kids are growing up and they ask about you bro
They say they miss daddy but I guess you know
We say you're in the skies looking down at them
They stare at one another like they don't understand
Damn carnal, if only we could take time
Back to the days when everything was fine
Ooooohhh, I'm missing you
[Chorus x2]
Sometimes I sit at the pad in the living room
Checking out your pictures, listening to some oldies tunes
The ones you liked, the ones you used to bump
Confessing The Feeling, Try Me, and Let's Get It On
Takes me back to the days when you were here
Sometimes I close my eyes and I can hear you real clear
Rest In Peace in the heavens up above
Those you left behind from us got nothing but love
Simon carnal, that's how it is, you're being missed
Now all we have are the firme memories
We used to share in the days when you were here with us
Now another firme brother and a son is lost
I know we'll see each other cuz we'll be there some day
Rest In Peace carnal, for you we all pray
Ooooohhh, I'm missing you
[Chorus]
Heeey carnal
Do you hear me calling
I want to kick it with you my brother
Back to back, like we used to
With all the homies, homies
All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me
You're always gone
Cause you're hangin out
Breakin' the rules
Oh the man has come
Looking for you
You're a rebel now
Don't give a damn
Always carrying on
With the gang
I'm trying to tell you boy
It's a mistake
You won't realize
Til it's too late
Don't understand
Why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies
Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die
You're so together boy
But just at a glance
You'll do anything
If given a chance
Scheming, plannin lies
To get what you need
So full of promises
That you never keep
Don't you tell yourself
That it's okay
Sick and tired of
All of your games
And you want me to stay
Better change
Makes no sense to me
Your crazy ways
Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Your trial is behind you
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
May all the torched ones
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Your burben is relieved you
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Just lay down and close your eye's
Just think about the light
At the end of that dark dark tunnel
Ain't it bright ain't it nice
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
May all the torched ones
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Your trial is behind you
Rest in peace
Your trial is behind you
(Spike)
I died
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
mmm-mmm
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away and
Let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my, sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know,
You got a willing slave
You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
Till you do,
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
Let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
but I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
Im a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?

they disembarked in 45
and no one spoke and no one smiled
there were too many spaces in the line
gathered at the cenotaph
all agreed with hand on heart
to sheath the sacrificial knifes
but now
she stands upon southampton dock
with her handkerchief
and her summer frock clings
to her wet body in the rain
in quiet desperation knuckles
white upon the slippery reins
she bravely waves the boys goodbye again
and still the dark stain spreads between
his shoulder blades
a mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves
and when the fight was over
we spent what they had made
but in the bottom of our hearts
we felt the final cut
Aqui Estoy Thinking About You Carnalito Everytime You Cross My Mind Tu Sabes Que
Me Aguito I Remember When We Used To Kick Back And Have A Blast, It's Hard To

For U We All Pray
Ohhh Ohh Oh I'm Missing You
[Chorus]
Do U Hear Me Calling I Want To Kick It With U My Brother Back To Back Like We Used To
Disease ridden corpse
Half dead, half alive
Night falls, the devil calls
Shrapnel in my eyes
A torrid yell
Of war is hell
As agony prevails
A deadly mass
A sonic blast
A fog of acid rain
[Chorus:]
You’ll never come again
You want this hell to end
Your fight is to be free
So rest in peace
Asleep from all the pain
A faded memory
Safely sound to sleep
So rest in peace
With shattered minds
The thought of death comes as relief
Close your eyes and silence falls
Death is what we seek
A killing force
With no remorse
With mental health of glass
With suicide
He takes his life
Finally free at last
[Chorus]
One through the skull
Take it right through the head
A smoking gun
Smell of freedom in the air
Killing you is killing me
War, it just ain’t fair
Watch them die, one by one
And no one really cares
Take away
All the light
The Firefly
I will find
Take your prayers
To the night
One more time
We say good-bye
We burn down what remains
Everything incinerates
I take back what you said
Nothing matters in the end
Solitude will decade
Nothing ever elevates
I'm not a falling victim
But the fire inside me
So take away all the light
Rest in peace tonight we fly
Take your prayers to the night
One more time we say good-bye
Walk away
The silent night
Rearrange
Our deepest lies
You're the sinner
For the light
Our deepest thought
Will decline
We burn down what remains
Everything incinerates
I take back what you said
Nothing matters in the end
Solitude will decade
Nothing ever elevates
I'm not a falling victim
But the fire inside me
So take away all the light
Rest in peace tonight we fly
Take your prayers to the night
One more time we say good-bye
So take away all the light
Rest in peace tonight we fly
Take your prayers to the night
I died so many years ago
You can make me feel like it isn't so
Why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real, that's great
Well, I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know you got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But till you do I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be
And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Each night I taste the silence
Of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
When they turn round and float
Do you lie back and think of England
As they shout in your face
Stand up and give them flowers
Mary full of grace
Temper's out of control again
There's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each day I'm in the future
Of a net curtaned past
Each day I'm out of pocket
Time didn't last
Each night I wake up smoking
And my eyes start to sting
Wish I could keep them open
When the trees start to sing
Temper's out of control again
There's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each night I taste the silence
Of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
When they turn round and float
Temper's out of control again
There's an itch in my soul again
[Intro: Kwajo Cinqo]
All my peoples...
Projects...
Worldwide...
Yeah...
One love...
[Ray Smoove]
Remember back in the days
One man chased round the way
Used to do runs for them bigger cats for chump change
Now times change
Who woulda knew
How we grew
To become them same thugs on the avenue
Now I'm talking to your spirit
Wondering if you hear it
Problem you seeing my presence in a minute
You gone but we still living
Still strong and wishing you were hear to see it
We clicked not even death can part it
My people asking where my heart is
I left it with you
Now I'm heartless, and moving heartless
You dearly departed never forgotten
You taught us about street life, that's why we still chopping
Thats why we still poppin them collars
Fiendin for dollars
Until it's my momma that hollas
That sad song
It's been mad long
Hoping that life prolongs
But when the breath is gone, then the breath is gone
[Chorus]
Staring at the walls in this room
Knowing that you left the world far to soon
And it ain't fair, no, and it ain't right
I tip my drink and shed a tear tonight (shed a tear tonight)
To anyone who's lost someone
This goes out to you knowing that the time will come
Where ever you are whatever history
To those gone before us rest in peace
[Angel Duss]
Poor a little henny for my dead people resting in peace
Got real G's dying in a fleets
It's the code of the streets where your life ain't guaranteed
I'm tired of hearing my brother's dying every week (Oh lord, oh no)
This petty beef ain't worth it
They got kids knowing it just ain't worth it (ain't worth it)
Doing life bids locked up with no purpose to live
My man Big's got two in his head
Now little Reg the same since he's on his death bed
Memories of the past days
The good ol days
When gats used to blow at your rivals not your homies (Shed a tear tonight)
[Chorus]
[Dolo]
Picture every single day living in my hood
Thugs up to no good (no good)
We all grew up as one blood
Too many filled up with slugs
Streets got no love (no love, no love)
I been to more funerals this year, threw dirt
Remember when we used to play in the dirt
Now I'm throwing dirt, on a golden casket
I seen my fate, at the open casket
I've seen thugs cry, when you got blasted
6 O'clock news, front page plastered
Now all we got is memories
While I'm wishing you was right here
We used to wear the same gear
Now I'm shedding tears
I see you when I get there
Look against the concrete
But your spirit is here
Strait from the heart you'll forever be a part
Of these dogs from the hood, and that's only a part
[Chorus]
[Kwajo Cinqo]
A love like no other, like the love for a brother
Like the love that you show one another
I would give my life
People re-embrace the seeds of mother
And I still see a resemblance of her
Do you remember the timing
I would change the four dogs on assignment
Four bricks, one block, all fiends in the lobby
When the epidemic hit and the city was silent
How we made the most noise when they hit our apartment
Then school for the reefer and jewels, then sneak into flicks
Anything for them chips, we would settle with fists
See I was young and hard headed, never settled for ish
Till the last breath left your lips
I had to settle with the fact you were one with the ground
Most times I took you for the reasons I frowned
See yo seeds is my seeds, and the future ain't sound
Till we make a difference this time around
So live through me
