in the lush virginia hills
they kept her as long as they could
cause they knew when the white brother
found white shell beads
wrapped around her skin --
a life giving river --
her body open as will his hand
and with a "goodbye" there she goes
she may betray all that she loves
and even wait for their savior to come
and in some things, maybe he'll be right
but as always the thing that he loves
he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
still she'll lay down her body
covering him all the same
so hundreds of years go by
(the red road carved up by sharp knife)
she's a girl out working her trade
and she loses a little each day
to ghetto pimps and presidents
who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
she can't recall what they represent
and when you ask, she won't know
she will betray
oh virginia
do you remember
when the land held your hand
oh virginia
she will let you back in
oh virginia
There'd be a sign the Lord would bring
And after time we'd understand what it means
Now some folks don't understand
Virgin birth had to fulfill the plan, because original sin
Is passed on right through the seed of the man
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will be with a child
And the Son, yes, the Son, it was Jesus Christ
That's why we all need to receive Him in our lives
Because a virgin " a young virgin
A virgin bore the seed " a virgin named Mary; she was a virgin
The snake tricked poor little Eve. He told her lies and then she ate from the tree
And gave to Adam, which made it worse,
Cause we're his seed; we inherited the curse
But God was not about to be defied. He knew what to do and He prophesied
That one day the seed of the woman would
1000 Fragen, die mir das Leben stellt.
1000 Fragen über mich, über mich und diese Welt.
Kann ich mich finden, indem ich mich verlier'
Suche ich im Nichts, bin ich ein blinder Passagier.
Refr.:
Woher weiß der Wind, woher erweht
Woher weiß der Schmerz, wann er kommt und wann er geht
Ich will wissen, wiés im Himmel ist, wohin die Flüsse fließen.
Wer welches Feuer schürt, und warum wir wen erschießen.
Wird die Zeit sich um mich kümmern, brauch ich Licht, um zu seh'n
Sind wir die Narren der Gesichte, kann man dem Schicksal nicht entgeh'n
Muß ich Engelchen werden, den Himmel durchfliegen,
bevor wir mit den Onkelz unsere Goldene kriegen´
And I think that I wish I was virgin
And I smile and I think of you
And my first, very first entry
Clumsy and romantic
My special mix in you
Clumsy like the first step
Clumsy like the first conker off the tree
And romantic, like the wind that cuts your hair
And romantic, like the glass that holds your drink
Clumsy and romantic
My special mix in you
And I think that I wish I was young
And I smile and I think of you
And my first, very first true kiss
Defensive and so coy
Defensive like the jacket that holds your weight
Defensive like the hat that holds you hair
And coy like the first kiss, the kiss that first made you coy
And coy like the tears, the tears that made you coy
So gentle, so gentle it made you strong
It made you strong, like the first kiss
Clumsy and romantic, so gentle it made you strong
Kaipaamaan mä jäin Virginiaan
Ja pellot muistan viljavan maan
Siellä koin mä nuoruuden
Rakkauden niin lämpöisen
Paikan sai hän myös mun sydämeen
Ja yhtä matkaa luoksensa tein
Kun unta nään niin enemmän
Niissä myös mä luokseen en jää
Ennustaa ei voi kai elämää
Jos meille käy niin ettemme nää
Muistavan sun tahtoisin
Että sua mä rakastin
Ennemmin jos sua nään tieni pään
Niin kummullein käy tervehtimään
Tuuli kun käy kyläillen
Silloin teen mä sulle sen
Jäät vierellein kun kuu kumottaa
Yön tuoksut kantaa kasteinen maa
Kukkasen näät valkoisen
Kukka on se rakkauden
Kasvaa voi se vain jos rakastaa
Se kaiken voiman tunteista saa
Sulle vain sen rakkautein
Kukkaan sai sen sydämein
Sulle vain sen rakkautein
Ich frag mich oft, wie wird es sein, mit wem bin ich zusammen, oder bin ich allein? Die Frage nach dem Sinn - hor auf damit! Die Sache ist so alt und Du kaust damit! Doch mal im Ernst uberlegst Du nie, wie werd ich aussehn, werd ich'n Spie'ervieh? Ich glaube, Nein! - und wenn es so ware? Dann hast Du was verpeilt in Deiner eigenen Sphare. Fragen, die sich jeder stellt - was mach ich heut, was morgen - Fragen, um die sich alles dreht - denn wer wei' schon wie's weiter geht. Es bringt nichts sie zu hinterfragen, denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen: wo fuhrt es hin, wann hort es auf, wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf? 21 Jahre alt und schon so planlos - ja steh ich denn im Wald? Ohne Ziel ist das auch so'n Ding Mann - ja, ja ich wei', es liegt alles bei mir Mann. Es ist trotzdem ein Schei? Gefuhl, nicht zu wissen, lohnt sich uberhaupt die Muh'. Ja Alter! So ist das Leben - eben - die Ungewi'heit wird es immer geben! Fragen, die sich jeder stellt - was mach ich heut, was morgen zahlt? Fragen, um die sich alles dreht, denn wer wei' schon wie's weitergeht. Es bringt nichts zu hinterfragen, denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen: wo fuhrt es hin, wann hort es auf, wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
I met Virginia two summers ago
Up in them mountains teaching school
All alone in a one room shack
Teaching the children all she knew
We spent a lot of hours together
And one day she said she'd love me for all time
And I'm in love with my Virginia
And I hope she don't change her mind
We took a trip to Montana
Guess we were looking for gold
Never saw a trace of it
But it was everywhere we were told
Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day
I took one look at my Virginia
And knew she wasn't meant to live that way
The going was rough
But she treated me so kind
I'm in love with Miss Virginia
And I hope she don't change her mind
Change her mind
Now we're back in Carolina
Up in them Smokies where we belong
Never knew why we went away
Can't understand why we were gone
Been with her twenty years
And all those years she made me feel so fine
And she still tells me that she loves me
And I hope she don't change her mind
Well Virginia came down the stairs
Said "I have something to say, I love you anyway"
I opened my eyes and blew a kiss from the old couch
We found on the side of the road
This apartment has dirty steps
And a few broken windows
But it's the only place I could ever call home
I used to know your first name
But forgot it twice on purpose
When you said you had to go
It's not like the summer lasts all year
July left me here without you
The sun is gone, the stars all fell
I can't get to sleep tonight
And if you were here
It would all be alright
I told you not to laugh
When I said you looked beautiful
But you did it anyway
Our old friends all left this town
But we liked the sound of it
So we just stayed
Let's dance let's dance around the yard
I could tell you a fairytale,
Hold your hand oh so small and frail,
But these lies are to no avail
In these blues
I could give you security,
Protect your eyes from what you see,
But I can't give you a guarantee,
Win or loose
Just trust in my love now baby,
I'll show you what's wrong,
Oh this is all I can give you baby,
So sing this song, sing it, sing it
Oh, we are virgin,
Just as bright as the blinding snow
Oh, we are virgin
And we just don't wanna let go,
We are virgin
Your skin is new and your eyes are wide,
Don't let that evil get inside,
I know it's hard to run and hide,
In these times
So hold your face to the sun today,
I'll take your hand and we'll walk away,
Show them all you don't have to pay
For these crimes
Just trust in my love now baby,
I'll show you what's wrong,
Oh this is all I can give you baby,
So sing this song, sing it, sing it
Oh, we are virgin,
Just as bright as the blinding snow
Oh, we are virgin
And we just don't wanna let go
And so if you go away,
I'll keep the fire burning,
Keep the fire burning all night
All through the wind and the rain
I'll keep the fire burning,
Keep the fire burning
Just trust in my love now baby,
I'll show you what's wrong,
Oh this is all I can give you baby,
So sing this song, sing it, sing it
Oh, we are virgin,
Just as bright as the blinding snow
Oh, we are virgin
And we just don't wanna let go,
Heard don't move unless you know someone you can move
And I bruise just like anyone would bruise
And I know we've got a long way to go
I know I've got so far
We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands, and your time, and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
I'm gone
You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts
In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't
And I hold his ear I'm only trying to do my job tonight
Kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire!
We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
You built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands, and your time, and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and...
Never really feel the same
Never gonna be the same
No it's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
You built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
Trust in me the same way (with your time, your blood)
Holy or inane (To fall downward and)
Never really feel the same
Never gonna be the same
No, it's never gonna be the same
ella perdio su virginidad
con alguien que no debio ser
y la verdad es que le dolio
le hizo mierda el corazon le dolio
le hizo mierda el corazon le dolio
por que chucha el asi
ella quiere saber donde fallo
para que las cosas entre los dos no funcionen
hizo todo lo que pudo hacer
para el solo fue un juego nada mas
y juro que la amo como a nadie antes pudo haber amado
ella perdio su virginidad con alguien que no debio ser
y la verdad es que le dolio le hizo mierda el corazon
Hay mil formas de amar
pero en esta ella se dejo engañar
y ahora lo odia como a nadie antes pudo haber odiado
Falsas promesas de amor
no podian terminar peor
por fin ella se ha dado cuenta que el amor de el no vale nada
ella perdio su virginidad con alguien que no debio ser
y la verdad es que le dolio
le hizo mierda el corazon le dolio
le hizo mierda el corazon le dolio
ella perdio su virginidad con alguien que no debio ser
y la verdad es que le dolio le hizo mierda el corazon
* [Pharrell]
You ready to do this, nigga?
You ready to come down here?
It's Virginia, nigga...
We do this in broad daylight...
It's a whole different degree of homicide, nigga...
You ready?
[Chorus: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)
[Pusha T]
In my "Home Sweet Home" I keep chrome next to my bones
Alters my walk to limpin'
Since I love the feel, I guess I'm passionately pimpin'
It 'tis what it seems
That thing imprintin' through the seams of my jeans, by all means
Lost it all, from lives to love
Put my faith in my money, help me rise above
See I turned to the Lord when them times got tough
Bullied through streets, powder I pushed and shoved
In that ole' Virginey
Out of ten niggas, nine are guinea
No money, all they know is gimme, got semis waitin'
Heat like Caribbean summers, I been there
Each year, a diffferent bitch wonder
Who wing she gon' fall under, Push' or Mal'
Ganga grinds, wit' me, with thoughts of fuckin' them cross her mind
Look ma, that's right up my alley
I love my family, I want them all happy
In Virginia, we smirked at that Simpson trial
Yeah, I guess the chase was wild
But what's the fuss about?
See, plenty my partners feelin' like O.J.
Beat murder like the shit is OK, that's what our door say
Talk the evil that men do, I'm lost in the mental
I miss you Shampoo, we miss you Shampoo
And your grams, too...
[Pharrell]
My nigga...
Fo sho...
[Chorus 2X's: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)
[Malice]
Seem like they all got a comment to make
In regards to my paper, now they guessin' my weight
They fast to predict the outcome of my fate
Wonderin' 'bout Clipse and if they got what it take
Malice, he think he hard, tough guy of the clique
And Pusha, he walk around like he swear he the shit
You right on both counts, bitch, Clipse is us
And there are some things that you don't discuss
Don't ask me 'bout the Neptunes and what's they fair
Don't ask about the loud screamin' chick with the hair
Don't ask about my music, and how that's comin' 'bout
Don't ask about my album, or when's it comin' out
'Cause I feel like you really being funny on the slide
Now face down, layin' on your tummy, or you die
I tried being humble, humble get no respect
Now the first sign of trouble, that's a hole up in your neck
Plus, what I look like spendin' my nights in jail
I could never be a thug, they don't dress this well
I reside in VA, ride in VA
Most likely when I die, I'm gon' die in VA
Virginia's for lovers, but trust there's hate here
For out-of-towners, who think that they gon' move weight here
Ironic, the same same place I'm makin' figures at
That there's the same land they used to hang niggas at, in Virginia...
[Chorus 2X's: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)
[Pharrell]
Young'n... (Talk about, what?)
This is real, young'n... (Talk about, what?)
You lookin' into a whole different world, young'n (Talk about, what?)
This is real...
I grew up in the kind of place you have to pass
When traveling somewhere else
My mother laughed more than she cried
But when she cried
Well it was something everyone felt.
Virginia
I've been baffled by the echoes
I've been deafened by the sounds of that place
Where they said we should dream of heaven
And keep our feet right on the ground
I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
But hey Virginia
Won't you spend your days with me
I dreamt of skies
A quiet blue that laid to rest the pain of darker days
And my dreams collide with subway cars
But in my heart I knew that I was frightened for a change
Morning paints the bedroom in a faded grey
My hands remember yours
I drank because I could not sleep
Now I can't sleep 'cause I don't drink no more
I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
But hey Virginia
Won't you spend your days with me
New York ain't so pretty
New York ain't so strange
Soon we'll both forget our alibis
Then maybe we could find a way to change
I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
But hey Virginia
Won't you spend your days with me
The waves rush against the folds of my face
As I start to drown
The waves rush against the folds of my face
As I start to drown
Oh, Virginia
Virgina, Virginia
In winter the water
will wash [?] the waterside
In winter the water
will wash [?] the waterside
Oh, Virginia
Virgina, Virginia
With the rocks in your pockets
You walk up above the waterside
With the rocks in your pockets
You walk up above the waterside
Oh, Virginia
Virgina, Virginia
The waves rush against the full of my face
As I start to fall
The waves rush against the full of my face
As I start to fall
Oh, Virginia
Virgina, Virginia
It's like trying to light a cigarette
When the matches you got are soaking wet
Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall
When it's coming down like a wrecking ball
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying
But when she lights, this whole dump is...
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Lovely man, how sweet are you?
Your loving me, it cuts right through
But in your past you held another like me
I'm angry that you had a life before me.
I promise you it's not a real concern
Take this from me, I'll keep it sweetly brief.
It's just the thought of you in the arms of another like me
I'm angry that you had a life before me
She's had you
I didn't want a virgin
I've been around, you've been around (been around round)
I want to be your only lover
I didn't want a virgin
I've been around, you've been around (been around round)
I want to be your only lover
Take this from me, I'll keep it sweetly brief.
It's just the thought of you in the arms of another like me
I'm angry that you had a life before me
She's had you
I didn't want a virgin
I've been around, you've been around (been around round)
I want to be your only lover
I didn't want a virgin
I've been around, you've been around (been around round)
I want to be your only lover
I can't get your past out of my head
I wish I could let it go
Let it go, let it go
I didn't want a virgin
I didn't want a virgin
I want to be, I want to be your lover
I didn't want a virgin
I didn't want a virgin

It's been burnin' in your mind
Wondering if it is right
That it keeps you all alone at night
So you start lookin' for the one
The one whom just might become
The one with whom you would feel right
You ask me if I'd like to go
To a place only you know
Or have never shown to me before
If only you could read my mind
Then you'd certainly find out that I'm
Lookin' for a score
Sit alone and wonder why
Why it is only you'll have to die
But you won't die
You won't
It's ok
One thing I'll say
I will always love you, Virginia
You're a part of my life and you make everything so
worthwhile.
The thing about it
When I need a friend she's always there
And she lifts up my day
One thing I'll say
I'll always love you, Virginia
We're going down the boulevard and burning down the
avenue
Yes, going down the boulevard , we're burning down the
avenue
Virginia, always on my mind
Virginia, stay a friend of mine
The thing about it, when I'm sad, she brings me a note or
So I say this to you
The one thing I know, I will always love you, Virginia
She takes me up to a place that's so far away
Virginia, always on my mind
Virginia, stay a friend of mine
Thing about it, when I need a friend she's always there
And I say this to you
One thing I know, I will always love you, Virginia
She takes me up to a place that's so far away.
Bin ich stark
Bin ich schwach
Hab ich Mut
Bin ich frei
Gibst mir nichts an das ich glaub
Bin ich dein
Bist du mein
Fühlst du auch
Unsre Zeit läuft langsam aus
Sag mir
Wie´s um uns steht
War alles Schein
Lass mich rein
In unsre Welt die sonst zerfällt
Was immer ich auch tu,
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an, denn ganz egal, was ich tu
Du machst die Augen zu, du machst die Augen zu
Siehst du nicht
Dieses Meer über uns
Ich hab Angst
Und wir treiben ohne Land in Sicht
Hab versucht
Deinen Blick zu verstehn
Könnt ich nur durch deine Augen sehn
Sag mir wie´s weiter geht
Wo solln wir hin
Alles Land ist verraten und verbrannt
Egal was ich auch tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an, denn ganz egal, was ich tu
Du machst die Augen zu, du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Tausend mal gestrandet ohne dich
Tausend Straßen ohne Ziel, doch du kommst niemals an
Was immer ich auch tu, du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an, denn ganz egal, was ich tu
Vá embora e feche a porta,
Tenho frio
Vá embora antes que eu chore,
Tenho frio
Vou trancar-me para nunca mais abrir
Pro sabor dos nossos sonhos não fugir (2x)
Eu me lembro de janeiro
Quando o sol me deu você
Meu presente de ano novo
Que agora o frio levou
Mas por favor, senhor sol,
Me dê de volta Virgínia
Senhor sol,
Me dê de volta Virgínia
it's all building up, bottleneck backbreak, backstabbing
stepping stone. the world is burning, and i am your
carpet.
behead the white horse, god is screaming murder, trees
are growing downwards, my lungs are poisoned, i didn't
hurt her.., rock "n" roll is hiding,(backbeat lying)
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles
away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away
Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
i know you so well
i could make you from scratch
my precious little puppet
with no strings attached
i like the way you dance around
and sing back to me
i'll take you back to virginia
for all my people to see
i just want to play what you want me to
i just want to say what you want me to
oh, take me. take me back
take me back to virginia,
take me back i want to go back for good
open a window put the dog at the foot of my bed
sleep to the music of the ice cream man
and rest my head
if i wake up on the right side
i'll sit at my window and play
a song for my people from yesterday
chorus
it's been seven years since i've seen you shine
and i see you when i'm sleeping
and i know i'm not lost as long as my lines are true
i just want to get back to you
i can still tell what it really means to be
dancing to the music
as she sings out to me
smiling and laughing as the people dance my soul
take me back to virginia
from so long ago
Oh sweet Virginia, yeah she is a witch.
I worship and adore her, dream of her lips.
She's clutching a sacred heart;
I can hear her calling me from afar.
Oh but what can i see here?
The flames are getting higher; it's some kind of a
devil
And he's smoking a briar...
She's got me like a ball and chain
Virginia, she's in my brain
So many times, you know, i tried to kiss her;
And every time it felt like she could have been my
sister.
She climbs on a witch's broom
Then she's sayin, "point me at the moon".
Don't say i missed it, i can't resist it,
Don't say she's not the one
God made her my mistress
She's got me like a ball and chain
Virginia she's in my brain
Everybody wants to know that girl,
After midnight in Virginia's world
The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
He loves his children
The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
He calls to Virginia
The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
Loves Virginia...ah
Virginia is a witch! Virginia is a witch!
Virginia
Matt Caplan
She said she was a visionary
We all knew she was quite full of herself
And we cast our shadows on the floor
We expected her decision hours ago
And now she's left alone to ask herself
What Virginia has to offer her
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
And he said he was a father figure
We all knew that he was quite the opposite of strength
And we cast our shadows on the floor
We expected him to be hours ago
And now he's left alone to ask himself
What Virginia has to offer him
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
We are unclean and far from sober
All my life I've followed holy visions
Virginia makes me nervous
Oh, and now I'm thinking about rain again
And I'm trying to remember when
We were young enough
To fight the fever back with love
But now how am I gonna fight it back
When they're bringing me under
So grey on the city that'll lead the play
And their consequences
Bring the fever back again
How am I gonna bring it back
When it (rams) me asunder
Bring the past up to par
He says leave me there to follow
Set me up, set me straight
Virginia far too stale to swallow
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
We are unclean and far from sober
All my life I've followed holy visions
Virginia makes me nervous
Oh i once knew a girl from Virginia
She had eyes like the first day of May
And she talked like she never remembered what to say
hey, what to say
In the morning she left me her number
and she fled like a bird in the rain
so I sat on the carpet and wondered what to say
hey, what to say
We crept in the moonlight, she slept by the door
ooo Virginia no more, no more
and awkward I stumbled I've been there before
ooo Virginia no more, no more
So I changed down the taste and i made my escape
out the door onto our separate ways
and I'll see you around if i do figure out
what to say - hey, what to say
We crept in the moonlight, she slept by the door
ooo Virginia no more, no more
and awkward I stumbled I've been there before
[Pharrell]
You ready to do this, nigga
You ready to come down here
It's Virginia, nigga...
We do this in broad daylight...
It's a whole different degree of homicide, nigga...
You ready
[Chorus: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what)
[Pusha T]
In my "Home Sweet Home" I keep chrome next to my bones
Alters my walk to limpin'
Since I love the feel, I guess I'm passionately pimpin'
It 'tis what it seems
That thing imprintin' through the seams of my jeans, by all means
Lost it all, from lives to love
Put my faith in my money, help me rise above
See I turned to the Lord when them times got tough
Bullied through streets, powder I pushed and shoved
In that ole' Virginey
Out of ten niggas, nine are guinea
No money, all they know is gimme, got semis waitin'
Heat like Caribbean summers, I been there
Each year, a diffferent bitch wonder
Who wing she gon' fall under, Push' or Mal'
Ganga grinds, wit' me, with thoughts of fuckin' them cross her mind
Look ma, that's right up my alley
I love my family, I want them all happy
In Virginia, we smirked at that Simpson trial
Yeah, I guess the chase was wild
But what's the fuss about
See, plenty my partners feelin' like O.J.
Beat murder like the shit is OK, that's what our door say
Talk the evil that men do, I'm lost in the mental
I miss you Shampoo, we miss you Shampoo
And your grams, too...
[Pharrell]
My nigga...
Fo sho...
[Chorus 2X's: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what)
[Malice]
Seem like they all got a comment to make
In regards to my paper, now they guessin' my weight
They fast to predict the outcome of my fate
Wonderin' 'bout Clipse and if they got what it take
Malice, he think he hard, tough guy of the clique
And Pusha, he walk around like he swear he the shit
You right on both counts, bitch, Clipse is us
And there are some things that you don't discuss
Don't ask me 'bout the Neptunes and what's they fair
Don't ask about the loud screamin' chick with the hair
Don't ask about my music, and how that's comin' 'bout
Don't ask about my album, or when's it comin' out
'Cause I feel like you really being funny on the slide
Now face down, layin' on your tummy, or you die
I tried being humble, humble get no respect
Now the first sign of trouble, that's a hole up in your neck
Plus, what I look like spendin' my nights in jail
I could never be a thug, they don't dress this well
I reside in VA, ride in VA
Most likely when I die, I'm gon' die in VA
Virginia's for lovers, but trust there's hate here
For out-of-towners, who think that they gon' move weight here
Ironic, the same same place I'm makin' figures at
That there's the same land they used to hang niggas at, in Virginia...
[Chorus 2X's: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I'm from Virginia, where ain't shit to do but cook (Talk about, what)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what)
So when we pull up, it ain't shit to do but look (Talk about, what)
[Pharrell]
Young'n... (Talk about, what)
This is real, young'n... (Talk about, what)
You lookin' into a whole different world, young'n (Talk about, what)
This is real...
Live...
Cuando sale de su casa
Alguien se le acerca
" Vamos niña, sube al coche
Ó eres niña muerta "
Echan una tela negra
Sobre su cabeza
Y Virginia tiembla.
Se la llevan al desierto
Donde nadie llega
Y la encierran a la fuerza
En una bodega
La amenazan " Tú no grites
Y no habrá problemas "
Y Virginia quieta.
" Por favor, ¿no la habeis visto?
Se ha perdido la muñeca
Desde que salió al colegio
No sabemos nada de ella ".
¡Virginia! Amor, contesta, ¿Dónde estás?
¡Virginia! Amor, contesta, ¿Dónde estás?
Han pasado doce horas
Nadie sabe de ella
De repente una llamada
Una voz muy seca:
" Oiga bien y no interrumpa:
Tengo a su pequeña ".
Y Virginia sueña.
" Pongan 16 millones
En una maleta
Tiene 24 horas
Haga lo que sea
No hable con la policia
Si la quiere entera "
Y Virginia espera.
No la ponga usted en peligro
Es una niña muy bella
Le aseguro que no es broma
¯Quiere usted hablar con ella? ".
¡Virginia! Amor, contesta, ¿Dónde estás?
¡Virginia! Amor, contesta, ¿Dónde estás?
Han pasado tres semanas
De angustia y alerta
" Hemos entregado todo
Aver, ¿qué esperan? "
El teléfono no suena
Tampoco la puerta
Y Virginia, muerta.
Se la busca por los montes
Se la busca por las selvas
Se pregunta por los ranchos
Y por las gasolineras.
¡Virginia! Amor, contesta, ¿Dónde estás?
You said youd go just for a year,
and i watched the tail lights dissappear, your words like old foot prints upon my mind.
yeah your family all was gone,
but you couldnt imagine leaving long,
you said you only get your life for this one time.
but what do i recall when the world was all
but changing in the mirror while im standin like an old stop sign.
Yeah "courage" said the man,
when you see your whole life turnin out nothin like you'd ever seen or planned.
He said "There's always another day, and anyhow that's the only way,
It's better just to learn that while you can".
Well would she stay or would she go?
With a girl like that you never know.
What's goin on in her heart is hard to define,
But I'm inclined to say Virginia, guess you made up your mind.
WEll you taught me how to dance, and what it is to take a chance.
Theres learning and theres doing, its not the same.
Yeah I held when you cried on the morning that your daddy died,
if you're livin, you heard theres no one to blame,
in hell i do alright but theres times that i cant sleep at night,
and i think about things i didnt know stayed with me all this time,
but im inclined to say, Virginia, guess you made up your mind.
Yeah years go by and you dont come home at all or write
or call or tell me what you did or didnt find...
Yeah the young girl that i married, and the babies that she carried
are the stars my whole world just turns around
and i guess shes just like me, and she didnt care to much to see
what life was like outside our little town
Yeah mornings there are some, where i wonder if i've chosen anything that
I've ever done before in my whole life.
But thats all behind me now.
Virginia, guess you made up - I'm inclined to say, Virginia, guess you made up -
Ein neuer Tag
Ein neues Leben
Ein neues Spiel
Mit neuen Regeln
Ich seh dich an
Und kenn dich nicht
Du siehst mich an
Und kennst mich nicht
Und wenn ich dich 2 Fragen fragen würde
Wär das:
Woran glaubst du?
Und wofür lebst du?
Und wenn du mich 2 Fragen fragen würdest
Wär das:
Woran denkst du?
Und wohin gehst du?
Ein klarer Blick
In dein Gesicht
Ein wahres Wort
Vergissmeinnicht
Und wenn ich dich 2 Fragen fragen würde
Wär das:
Woran glaubst du?
Und wofür lebst du?
Und wenn du mich 2 Fragen fragen würdest
Wär das:
Woran denkst du?
Und wohin gehst du?
Und wenn ich dich 2 Fragen fragen würde
Wär das:
Woran glaubst du?
Und wofür lebst du?
Woran glaubst du?
Und wofür lebst du?
