I see a white haired man, he's got a pseudonym
He's telling people how they're supposed to live
Nobody's listening to the politician
No matter what sage advice he has to give
He's got a clumsy, outdated M O
And he's come to a fork in the road
And there is only one direction to go
Among the commuters, dwarfed by the skyscrapers
I watch the countless millions fighting for space
See hateful, petty acts, disjointed images
And can't believe that I'm one of the same race
We're all just struggling to cope
And we come to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundations erode
There's only one direction to go
It's the way of the dodo, such a noble destiny
It's the waltz of desperation
Passed along to you and me
The way of the dodo
(It's the gray stuff in your head)
New York, 3 o'clock at night. No sleep. God I must be tired
Weird thoughts running through my brain
My blood is pumping through my vains
And there she sits, she looks at me
Her skin is pale, her mind is free
She smiles and says: how do you do?
Come with me or should I go with you?
Hey baby, you'd better watch out
You don't know what you're doing
When you're out and about
Hey baby, now listen to me
Things are never ever quite as they seem
She asks me for a cigarette
Her eyes are bright, her hair is red
Dressed like a whore, but one with style
A fantasy, I realise
This is no fiction, it's insane
Her make-up shows she knows the game
And who am I to tell her no
So I grab her coat and say let's go
Hey baby, you'd better watch out
You don't know what you're doing
When you're out and about
Hey baby, now listen to me
Things are never ever quite as they seem
She takes me to her penthouse bed
To relax my body and feed my head
With stories I never heard before
I'm waiting 'cause I know there's more
She takes off all her clothes and see
This girl has hairy legs like me
This may sound a little rude
I want sex but not with a dude
Hey baby, you'd better watch out
You don't know what you're doing
When you're out and about
Hey baby, now listen to me
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
(Oooh, baby I don't know your name)
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
(Look at your body baby)
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Verse 1: Wale]
Look, another day another dollar
She hate me when I leave cause when I leave I never call her
That's life shit, alright, shit, I could call you right quick
But if I call you gone be like "Boo why we haven't skyped yet? "
And I skype, bet you say "Lay where my flight at"
If I decline then you inquire on where I spend my nights at
Shit this life gets overwhelming and more then hectic
But a woman worth some anger is certainly worth some effort
Just look closer my life is quite deceptive
Women'll sell they soul just to buy some attention
I need something to hold fuck that passive aggression
And when I'm back from off that road don't ask me no questions
Please... fear watchu don't know
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Verse 2: Wale]
Don't remember how I met her but I know I won't forget her
If loving her is wrong then I just know I won't see heaven
She say she from Seattle, she twenty and some change
Before I get to T.I.A. I'm sure to make her rain
Then I'm back up on my plane Chi town over here
We spend some time and get some wine have some milds from Harolds
I told her this here's overrated but I love your city baby
Gotta get back to the D you know we finally famous
Driver drop me off in dallas I'm headed to some money
TSA be laughing all them rubbers in your luggage
I know I'm a always leave em but I swear I'll always love em
Tell her you'll probably find someone but you'll never find another
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Verse 3: Rick Ross]
Got on my suede shoes, I'm in a great mood
That baggage claim awaiting miss thang outta St. Louis
Know she shining bright, got on my cartier, she my billie jean we minaj with mary jane
See we city hop, Vegas to LA, brings alotta joy Buggati boy that's Laina Lane
Our faucets used to drip, I used to ride the bench, but it was written in cursive for this king to exist
Packed her bags now she live amongst entrepreneurs
Marc Jacob the makeup Gi-Givenchy consumer Gianni Versace connoisseur a carnivore
Accountable for half a million uncounted for
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really complement your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Here we go again good citizens
Avert your eyes
As the innocent collide
Run and hide as the world sits and watches, hypnotized
Another Belgrade sunset leaving town
Another refugee Macedonia bound
And the bombs still fall tearing the city down
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
Facism gaining ground
An effective cleansing
The borders are closing down
The unwanted masses litter the bloodstained ground
And I don't really want to know and I don't care
I've got my own problems and they're over here not there
A good american remains totally unaware
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
So give us your tired your poor and your weak
Cause we break ground for a Wal-mart there next week
Passing Necrosis,
the tunnel of pain is in front.
You're passing through dimensions,
a life is ended, another is gone.
Remember for the last time,
then you'll be erased.
Another reich is calling,
your journey has just begun.
Close the open door, released from all abhor.
Finally unleashed, bodily deceased.
Noting but death remains! ... You die!
Existing now in other form,
after purgatory you were reborn.
Still on earth, a dying shell,
burnt to ashes in the flames of christ.
You die!
Death is all around you,
every breath can be the last.
Drown in thoughts of dying,
your life has gone to fast.
The dead is leading the dead,
like the blind is leading the blind.
The dead is leading the dead,
and the blind is leading the blind.
Nothing but death remains!
Nothing but death remains!
I'm an idiot and I don't care
It doesn't bother me when the people stare
My mind is blank I don't get confuzed
Cause I can't think with a blown fuse
I'm an idiot and I don't give a shit
I can't read or write or tie my shoes
The government pays for my food and my clothes
I live in a big apartment building
in search of a new voice
you burnt all your lyrics
and flew to a new town
";one of the has beens";
that was your phrase
but what about show-biz?
that way that way that way
in my appartment
six white horses
wood turns electric
inspired by shadows
driven by tears
you won't rest, till you're back on the boards
that way that way that way
or nothing at all
I hear it's cold now
the worst one on record
hope that you keep warm
I guess I'll be leaving
now is the best time
on the Atlantic we'll all climb
that way that way that way
or nothing at all
Bitch what do you want? Nigga what do you need?
A rock hard bone? A dime of weed?
Whatever it is hoe, you can hit him from a phone
But if ya don't want nothin' leave him alone he be gone
See he's known for smokin' skunk and gettin' drunk without knowin'
He through about twenty bitches and hoes and he probably fucked yours
But the dude don't disrespect but then he takes no shit
But if your bitch is in his ride then she's gettin' some dick
He moves quick real slick, never been to the pen or the forum
They got stories bout the dude the kids bragged when they saw him
And them laws he don't bomb that nigga just keep dippin'
Early in the morning flippin', coffee sippin'
Don't be trippin' on niggas they see him walk in the store
Get him some cigarettes, cigars and a Colt 4-0
Without payin' walk out that hoe so calm and so cool
?Who's that??, ?Man, that's the dude and he's a Goddamn fool?
Who is it?
Not too often seen in public, that's the dude
Who is it?
Smokin' on sweets while he's gettin' his nuts licked that's the dude
Don't come talkin'
That nothin' shit
Round the dude
Don't play no funny games
Don't talk shit, no
He'll tell you to suck his dick
He's the dude
Hey, hey, here comes the dude
Da da do dap, Bla do blap dap
Bitches front 'em at the club they gettin' jab slapped, he don't cap
To him that bring too much attention
Keep his eyes open for premeditated lynchin'
Countin' inches on his hard dick
You might need a yard stick
He makes bitches suck it
And make them niggas get off it
Don't start shit with the dude
You wouldn't want him to finish
'Cause hoe you know it be on in a minute
You need to thank him for ya gal he made her suck a little better
He love makin' trash outta another niggas treasure
'Cause bitches for dude dog, come a dime a dozen
Fuck one, let one suck his dick then find another
He don't debate he concentrate on survivin'
He don't like to drive if he's been drinkin'
But he'll drink while he's drivin'
But he's higher than a fuck, you'll never catch him sober
All his women quit him cause they got fucked over
But all the pussy he got was pussy he earned
He'll fire up a sweet before you'll fire up yearn
Some say he's nice and friendly but the niggas no fool
He's so swift, he's so smooth, he's so calm, he's so cool dude
Who is it?
Devin the Dude [Incomprehensible] house remix
Who is it?
Don't come talkin'
That nothin' shit
Round the dude
Don't play no funny games
Don't talk shit, no
He'll tell you to suck his dick
He's the dude
Hey, hey, here comes the dude
Hey, hey hell yeah, can't you tell?
The dude been through hell
See the smoke in the air?
Shouldn't do the shit he do but see the dude don't care
Empty bottles of beer and empty rubbers everywhere
He jam old school music in his low slightly bumpin'
Saw him last Tuesday in an old white somethin'
Half naked bitch with him with plenty of ass
He threw the deuces at your boy and continued to pass
People spread rumors about him to bring him down
But if ya know him like I do you know he don't fuck around
And he clowns and he jokes and he smokes and he hangs
But don't fuck over the dude one night he showed me a brain, no name
I ain't gonna tell you all of his biz
He's down to fight for his friends, die for his momma and kids
Niggas be placin' they bids tryin' to do like he do
Try to be where he's been but they get folded in two, he's the dude
Who is it?
I know that you think of me sometimes
Cause all I do is think of you at night
I know it may take a little time
For you to see you are the love of my life
And I just sing
Du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du
And I just sing
Du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du
You walked up to my porch you said hi
I looked into those beautiful brown eyes
All you said was can we go inside
And I said yes, and so we did
And we just sing
Du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du
And we just sing
Du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du
Haunted by the power
The obsession in my mind
Voices from the darkside
Call the dead to reach the grave
Crying for existence
Visions of a dying world
Is it true or still a dream
The daylight race to leave behind
[Chorus]
I can see what you see
I can feel what you feel
The day I die
I can hear what you hear
I can dream what you dream
The day I die
The day I die
Absence of redemption
Breathing out the frames of dust
(Be) a part of this essential war
The darkness of thy soul
Feel the deadly poison
No more opposition
Blackness in my mind sublime
Prepare - the day I die
The day I die
You can't kill my body
A part of your existence
Dwells within our heart
Feelings of our free divine
Step inside this circle
Your love will turn into hate
Join my evil forces
Feel the new connection
[Chorus 2x]
Where are they now?,
they are gone,
I saw them run,
run to the sea,
under the waves,
all has been said,
can you hear them?
Their voices are free,
free from the sun stare,
free from the noise,
of lost souls...
In exiled sound,
washed in with the tide,
their voices are free,
free from the sun stare,
free from the noise,
of lost souls...
Their voice carrys life,
under the waves,
under the waves,
Their voice carrys life,
under the waves,
under the waves,
under the waves,
[SOLO - Carmelo]
Nave blind eyes
Childish white eyes
The good
Child of the evil
The mother came to her daughter
Giving her a bit of herself
A bit of her madness
A bit of her blackness
How many were we in the beginning
And how many left
How many of us are still dying in you?
And now the sun... again. Oh Sun
Give us dust
Starvation
Give us sweat
Tears
But kneeling, genuflected
We silently pray to you
To free her from her black mother
Seagulls eat the eyes of the people
Seagulls eat the eyes of the dead sailors
You have taught us
You have eaten my eyes mum
There are demons in the water
There are devils in the sea
There are dangers in the current
When the tide goes out of me
I could drink you under the table
I could drink you out of town
I could drink you off the planet
Drink myself into the ground
And I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you
I was made to be a good girl
Carried buckets made of stone
Full of envy, full of sorrow
On a tightrope all alone
And all the time I was on fire
I burned with every stride
And now I see this anger
Is the horse I choose to ride
Now you say you want something nice from me
Well, if you find it, take it, it's on me
In the meantime don't bother me
The tide has washed the nice from me
And I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you
In the nothing are the voices
And the pictures of my life
In the nothing of the sky
Is an ocean made of light
In the nothing of my silence
Is a sad-eyed little girl
On a tightrope she is singing
As she passes through this world
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
And there's three, count 'em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
And there's three, count 'em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
And there's Vada
Can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But he's not coming back
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)
And there's three, count 'em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless
No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
His Dudeness, or Duder or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Duke of Earl, boozing Girls
Have you seen her? Who's that girl?
Me and you, let's cruise the world.
On a boat, on the way to Japan.
Don't be scared, just take my hand
On a mission, girl just listen.
Take your time, it's your decision.
In the meantime, I'm gonna grab me a pop
Should Hyper Crush get a Grammy or not?
Fuck it; let's say it from the tops.
Listen girl put your hand on my (what?)
(Nah nah I'm just joking, jk jk.)
Pump this music, drunk and stupid.
Sean with Hadouken, fucking loopy.
Got you bouncin' back and forth.
Yeah, put your hands on the floor
Duke of Earl, I'm the dude with girls
(No you're not) Yes I am.
I got girls from here to Japan
One day, I met a girl on MySpace
I told her to come over to my place
Pony Boy's locking it down
The place is mine, and my mom's out of town
My mom's yeah, she's outta town.
Who the fuck is Hyper Crush?
And there's three, count 'em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

I Remember when we used to talk
About what we're all going for
Today I see
You're all celebrating me
Your expression
Doesn't let me go
I feel a little strange
Like when I used to change
Where have I gone?
Why have I come?
Everybody's here
And I can feel your pain
I'm understanding
Cause here it's different
I never thought for
As much as I tried
That I could find
Myself being here too now
I remember when
We used to Talk
About what we're all going for
But I know
I did my best
To Walk on the way I felt more
Today I saw
The people that I love more
Were weeping on my grave
Filing my face
Your expression
Doesn't let me go
I want to talk to you
I want to stop that
Today I felt for you
The emotions I loved more
My past life' scenes
My past life's being
Our Emotion
To know that we lived
Together risking
Together dying
Together loving
Together hoping
Together trying
To find a reason in life
CHORUS
Who is it
That walks the street with all the action?
(It's the Dude)
Who is it
That always gets a hot reaction?
(That's the Dude)
VERSE 1
Don'tcha' go makin' no mojo moves
'Round the Dude
(Don't try no funny bizness.)
Don'tcha'you be coppin' no attitude
With the Dude
(Hey, hey here comes the Dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS
Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good.
Sister e-flat tomato, brother b- flat balloon,
Somethin' funky's goin' down better listen to my tune.
I graduated from the college of the street,
I got a Ph..D. In how to make ends meet.
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
'Cause I'm a scholar with the dollar
You can plainly see.
BRIDGE
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood.
Ain't nobody who's out there like him.
Any corner in the neighborhood,
That's the place that you'll always find him.
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
(He does it good)
Ladies call him the candy rapper.
(They want his love)
He's the only one that's really cool
(He's really cool)
That's the reason why he's the Dude.
CHORUS
Who is it
That ain't got time for foolish talkin''?
(it's the Dude)
Who is it
That looks so clean you can't ignore him?
(That's the dude)
VERSE 2
Don'tcha go mess with
His walkin' stick--not the dude
(Don't try no funny bizness)
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick--he's the dude
(Hey, hey here come the dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS AGAIN
I'm a stone cold taker,
I'm a piggy bank shaker,
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash.
So if you go to my school,
You gotta learn this rule--
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash
If you never had it,
Don't pay it no mind.
I know you're gonna get it,
If you take a little time.
Take a piece from the east,
A piece from the west
Put it where it feels good--
Let the Dude do the rest
CHANT
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's the Dude.
See him steppin' down the street
Don't forget it he's the Dude
REPEAT VERSE 1
this is an instrumental piece.
there are no lyrics, but a beautiful haunting melody.
On this holy day as the dead doth now rise
The earth does now weep to the waning skylight
A chasm of the hollow
A fortune stained of blood
A light upon the blackest shadow
A frigid touch of dust
Upon this placid dome in the whispering breath of night
A silent life does fade in it's lonely cries of fright
A naked mound of frozen hope
A stilled desecration of lies
A fallen death upon the Unknown
A feeble gaze from unnamed life
Blood taints the morning horizon, a golden silhouette of unlife
The lost allure of heaven has died in the rot of the Crypt
Blood taints the morning horizon, a golden silhouette of unlife

[Chorus]
[Hook:]
As everyday passes I'm loosing faith in you
One day were forever the next day were through
You push me away then beg me to stay
You have got me so confused
Cause baby [? ]
If I don't think that somebody loves me too
So give me a sign or baby this is goodbye
Just tell me the truth
Why whenever something is wrong I always take the blame
Why whenever my love is strong you always run away
You can't handle my love and your loves never enough
And I can't live that way
Why whenever we have a fight I'm begging you to stay
Why when everything is alright it only lasts a day
You're never satisfied with nothing that I provide
And I can't live that way
So pretend a moment that you are in my shoes
And the person that you're loving is thinking what have I got to loose
Girl it's hurts so bad to think of what we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
So just stop (stop stop)
And listen to what I'm telling you
I'm not (not not)
Gonna fight for something that isnt true
So if you just don't love me
If you think that I'm nothing
The doors waiting for you
Why whenever something is wrong I always take the blame
Why whenever my love is strong you always run away
You can't handle my love and your loves never enough
And I can't live that way
Why whenever we have a fight I'm begging you to stay
Why when everything is alright it only lasts a day
You're never satisfied with nothing that I provide
And I can't live that way
I'm so turn up inside (am I gonna stay or go)
Why don't you make up your mind (I can't put my life on hold)
So baby this is goodbye ain't got no tears left to cry
Because you never told me whyyyyyyy
Whenever something is wrong
Why whenever my love is strong you always run away
You can't handle my love and your loves never enough
And I can't live that way
Why whenever we have a fight I'm begging you to stay
Why when everything is alright it only lasts a day
You're never satisfied with nothing that I provide
And I can't live that way
Why whenever something is wrong
Why whenever my love is strong (yeah yeah)
You can't handle my love and your loves never enough
And I can't live that way
Why whenever we have a fight
Why when everything is alright
You're never satisfied with nothing that I provide
Watch the waves, bring you closer to home
All too silent. A wish to follow the tide
Nailed to your heart, all you've seen
Hear the sea call
Leave. You were never here
Light these candles and run
Leave. It was never safe
Keep all knives out. Head down
Seen you watch from a distance, in tears
As the waves come. Steps all gone now. And you?
Wish to let go
You told most everybody
Your truth didn't let me be
I slipped into a darkness
That longed to hold on me
It came in by the hour
It wouldn't leave for weeks
You spoke of groves and gardens
You wouldn't share with me
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
I'm tired of running backwards
In lines that we complete
I'm starved for good intentions
That make it back to me
The past presents the future
That time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
A penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
You came in by the hour
You wouldn't leave for weeks
You spoke of groves and gardens
You wouldn't share with me
I'm tired of running backwards
In lines that we complete
I'm starved for good intentions
That make it back to me
The past presents the future
That time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
A penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
Featuring: Rick Ross, Jeremih
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
(Oooh, baby I don't know your name)
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
(look at your body baby)
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Wale - Verse 1]
Look, another day another dollar
She hate me when I leave cuz when I leave I never call her
That's life shit, alright, shit, I could call you right quick
But if I call you gone be like "Boo why we haven't skyped yet?"
And I skype, bet you say "Lay where my flight at"
If I decline then you inquire on where I spend my nights at
Shit this life gets overwhelming and more then hectic
But a woman worth some anger is certainly worth some effort
Just look closer my life is quite deceptive
Women'll sell they soul just to buy some attention
I need something to hold fuck that passive aggression
And when im back from off that road dont ask me no questions
Please.. fear watchu dont know
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Wale - Verse 2]
Dont remember how I met her but I know I won't forget her
If loving her is wrong then I just know I won't see heaven
She say she from Seattle, she twenty and some change
Before I get to T.I.A. I'm sure to make her rain
Then im back up on my plane Chi town over here
We spend some time and get some wine have some miles from ?
I told her this here's overrated but I love your city baby
Gotta get back to the D you know we finally famous
Driver drop me off in dallas I'm headed to some money
TSA be laughing all them rubbers in your luggage
I know Ima always leave em but I swear I'll always love em
Tell her you'll probably find someone but you'll never find another
[Jeremih - Chorus]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Rick Ross - Verse 3]
Got on my suede shoes, I'm in a great mood
That baggage claim awaiting miss thang outta St. Louis
Know she shining bright, got on my cartier, she my billie jean we minaj with mary jane
See we city hop, Vegas to LA, brings alotta joy Buggati boy thats Laina Lane
Our faucets used to drip, I used to ride the bench, but it was written in cursive for this king to exist
Packed her bags now she live amongst entrepreneurs
Marc Jacob the makeup Gi-Givenchy consumer Gianni Versace connoisseur a carnivore
Accountable for half a million uncounted for
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really complement your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my plane
locked gaze fatal attraction
our hearts skipping beats
drinks and sweet talk
finally you lean in
a kiss in the door frame
dizzy and out of breath
we tumble into the dawn
the taxi ride a blur
we are like the tide
when i ebb you flow
we are like the tide
only time will show
skinny-dip tease in the water
then love in the park
head over heels
bathed in warm sunlight
pleasure chills down my spine
stay here no don’t go
you walk me to the car
a last kiss goodbye
we are like the tide
when i ebb you flow
we are like the tide
sorry i had to go
after that and still
we’re dancing round in circles
we’ve got it down to perfection
one step forward one step back
each time we might get close
you do a 180 on me
once i give you the cold shoulder
the hunt is back on for you
same old same old same old same old
i break the pattern
moving on
we are like the tide
when i ebb you flow
we are like the tide
Verse 1:
Changing the subject now, won't make it go away
We've got to talk about it , if you want me to stay
But somehow I know there's nothing left to say
You've made you're mind up I know, let's call it a day
Chorus:
Cause I know my heart will brake somehow if we stuck it out
And I don't want to end it that way
Our dreams will fade if we hang on 'till nothing's left
And I don't want to end it that way x2
Verse2:
Remembering how things used to be just makes no sense
Cause at the moment baby, we're not even friends
Why don't we just forgive, forget and try to be strong
We've got to face the truth now, we've got to move on
Chorus:
Cause I know my heart will brake somehow if we stuck it out
And I don't want to end it that way
Our dreams will fade if we hang on 'till nothing's left
And I don't want to end it that way x2
Bridge:
Lonely nights, lying awake beside you
(N. Bottini)
I bet the people around me will be right
And I will find myself losin' again.
But I think that when you understand you're a loser
Then you're ready to start to win.
So I'll toast with water if I have no champagne
And a very few people will be pleased to see my face
But that'll be the face that at the end of the day
I'll see in the mirror before goin' to bed.
CHORUS
And so that way I wanna go
Yeah that way I'm gonna go
I know it won't be the easiest one
But I sure ain't gonna die before I started my own life.
If you're gonna walk along here by my side
Just pack your bags and get out of home quick
And I promise that I won't use no chains with you
So be sure you ain't gonna use them with me
Don't you try to bother me with big shiny cars
I feel so alive when I'm playin' my guitar
And maybe someday I'll say a forced "I don't care !"
Come slip under the surface, everything with purpose
Tonight, we've come undone
Starfish line the sea floor of everything you've wished for
Tonight, we've come undone
You spend your days building castles of sand, but when the tide comes you don't understand
You try to stop it with the sleight of your hand, until you realize it's not meant to stand
What was your plan? (The message in your bottle's a sham)
Tell me your plan (Quit looking for a pearl in a clam)
See every single bright star shining down from so far
Tonight, we've come undone
Guide us with your dead light, everything is alright
Tonight, we've come undone
You spend your days building castles of sand, but when the tide comes you don't understand
You try to stop it with the sleight of your hand, until you realize it's not meant to stand
What was your plan? (The message in your bottle's a sham)
Tell me your plan (Quit looking for a pearl in a clam)
The universe is the boat we've been rowing,
Inside of this bathtub with water overflowing
When god pulls the plug, the horizon gets lower
Or is the sun setting slower? Either way, it's all over
You spend your days building castles of sand, but when the tide comes you don't understand
You try to stop it with the sleight of your hand, until you realize it's not meant to stand
What was your plan?
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Yo what up, its Essman Spectrogams, my man
Kon Artis, Obie Trice, Denaun Porter
DJ motherfucking Butter, shit happens
That's right, 2000-2001, D-Tweezy
[Kon Artis]
Knockout blows, mics get torn, out the frame without metronomes
Niggaz want money, we send they ass home
Without cab fare after my dick get blown
The sign says no smoking so we smoke
The bill come after we eat so we break out
Loudmouth at the lunatic house
With a bunch of Looney Tunes that'll go right in your mouth
We the reason for split wigs, blood puddles shot up dead
Baby momma with no daddys and 8 kids, criticize this
Ya'll all can drink elephant piss and eat shit
Guess you didn't listen the first time
What am I supposed to do, keep wasting my talent on battle raps
Fuck that, I do this for Bugz
The only battling I do is when I'm shooting up clubs
DJ Butter, Obie Trice, shit can happen, D-Twezzy
[Obie Trice]
Aye yo I spit through the music equipment
I talk shit to your chicks like I was intestines son of a bitch
I lay ya flat like Charlie Batch the quarterback
Getting sacked by that lineman, we feeling this asscrack
O Trice the famed faggot I'm passed that
I'm out for the ass cap literally
Bust a slug in your right cheek
From these verbal tethlon that motherfuckers speak
I run the blocks with a slew of freaks
That love jacking niggas to accumulate heat
Accommodate them bitches with the seats
Strip ya car empty sit it on the street
I hope ya got ya policy back, no apoligy for that
DVD that was snatch, niggas catch wooden bats
Loose steel gats, juvenile thugs running up in ya flat
Fuckin with us, you need aspirin for the act
Its an outcold feeling in hearing ya fibula crack
Obie trice and Kon Artis the hardest
Regardless, flawless
That's why Butter brought us
Butt ugly bitches wanna record us
And be sugar mommas and take us off the corner
The natural habitation of the tiger's under threat
From the deforestation and a rise in Third World debt
And you don't even see those sparrows flying overhead
'Cos it's said, they're all dead
But the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
'Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there's one more everyday
They're multiplying faster than locusts in a plague
And they're breeding in the places where the money is
all made
And they're feeding on the carcus of common sense
decayed
And they grow fat off our backs
Oh the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
'Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there's one more everyday
He's doing ok, he's doing ok
Seems like life moves ever faster but the traffic moves
so slow
We're all in such a hurry but we got nowhere to go
And love and understanding, well it's at an all time
Oh no no, oh no no
But the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
'Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there's one more everyday
Yeah the thing about the idiot
Love me my love
Come with me now
Come here my love
On the ride
We'll ride the night
By the sparkling light
Of the bright diamond sky
On the range
Every little thing that I have seen
Comes back to remind me in my dream
Life in the city is not how it should be
Every time I hear someone say
They don't care they want to throw it all away
I have to reply to it another day
Back road hideout
Left me no doubt
Faith had died out in the town
Back road hideout
I did shout out
Take me away from the pain
Love me my love
Come with me now
Come here my love
On the ride
We'll ride the night
By the sparkling light
Of the bright diamond sky
On the range
Somehow in this fast decline
We lead it to the deep divide
Shoot out passed that hollow blast of flames
It's not hard to recognize
We'll see it on the rise
You must trust your eyes
You're not insane
Back road hideout
Left me no doubt
Truth must be found and revealed
Back road hideout
I did shout out
Who can tell how it's concealed
Love me my love
Come with me now
Come here my love
On the ride
We'll ride the night
By the sparkling light
Of the bright diamond sky
On the range
Every little thing that I have seen
Comes back to remind me in my dream
Life in the city is not how it should be
Every time I hear someone say
They don't care they want to throw it all away
I have to reply to it another day
Back road hideout
Left me no doubt
Faith had died out in the town
Back road hideout
I did shout out
