I’ve never been wrong
But you’ re the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name...
What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can’t turn away
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I’ve been taken and I’ve been hypnotized
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I’ve been taken and I’ve been hypnotized
And your eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever
I can’t escape
One minute’s so sincere
Then you completely turn against me and I’m afraid
You don’t have to say you love me
’causa if you want me, I’ll stay
’cause I can turn away
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I’ve been taken, taken by surprise
I’m like e prisoner captured by your eyes
I’ve been taken and I’ve been hypnotized
I’m like a prisoner...
You don?t think that I?ll be strong enough
No baby now
I won?t be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
Maybe you don?t think I love you strong enough
But I?m not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you?re lyin?, denyin?
All of your actions, so listen up
'Cause here?s my reaction
Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
Always tried so hard to keep me down but now I?ll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations, take you by surprise
I?ve realized
Now I?m ending all the secrecy, I see through your disguise
All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand the answer
So when the morning comes, you know that I?ll be gone
You don?t think that I?ll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won?t be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
No longer blind
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind
Don?t believe it?s all a mystery
There?s nothing you can hide, it?s all defined
There?s nothing you can tell me now
To change the way I feel inside
All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand, yeah
So when the morning comes, you know that I?ll be gone
You don?t think that I?ll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won?t be the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
I?m just not the girl you thought I was
Not gonna be a prisoner
I won?t be the prisoner of your love
Of your love
Don?t wanna be a prisoner
I don?t wanna be a prisoner, no
Don?t wanna be a prisoner
I don?t wanna be a prisoner
So if you wanna be my love
You can?t be all wild, play up when
You see me and then say, "Mariah I miss you"
Expect me to hug and kiss you?
Don?t that dis you?
But I guess I?m not the kind of girl you thought I was
I?ve had enough of, 'Now I?ll see ya later? 'cause
Boy make me know that I?ll be strong enough
But I won?t be a prisoner baby of your love
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
No no, baby now

I?m just not the girl you thought I was
Oh, not gonna be a prisoner
I won?t be the prisoner of your love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
I?m not one of those girls who?ll wait around
Cryin? ?cause you wouldn?t take me all over town
You can?t do that, I?m not a door mat
You?re just a player
That?s not my format, c ya
Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern Comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Should've known from
The start you were wrong
I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart
In these prison walls
This place I've got to leave
I'm a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
The sky is grey, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explaining
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving
Won't somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Won't somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free
Thanking you for openining my eyes so clear sweeping old illusions from my soul
But most of all for turning something simple and sincere
Into somethin' jaded and as jive as rock and roll
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word
That I've made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair till I saw the prisoner wall was me
See the soul who calls itself a prisoner cause it's still too frightened to be free
I feel so much older now and wiser ain't it sad how lonesome that can be
[ guitar ]
Ain't you always looked...
Chorus:
I'm your prisoner
You got me chained up to your love
I'm your prisoner hey, hey
Someone better free me
From these thoughts that I'm thinking of
Love to be in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
The walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
Chorus
All beated and abused
Now I feel tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start
No one sees my broken heart
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
I'm your prisoner, I'm your prisoner for your love
I'm your prisoner
Wrapped up in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
The walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky
Ooh baby I've been beaten and abused
Ah I've been tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start
No one sees my broken heart
I can't escape your powers
I'm gettin' weaker by the hour
I was such a wicked lover
But just do it like no other
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
Chorus x2
I never thought your love would
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from
Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote
Twilight zone twilight zone I'm
Floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know
A laser lights the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's
Beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a reggae verse
It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it
Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four
oh oh prisoner
my pretty oh oh prisoner
Look at the way she's searching
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But i won't let her say goddbye
Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talkin', keep walkin'
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Control you, involve you
You can't deny
You move me, surround me
You mystify
Can't stand it, won't make it
Just pass me by
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talking, keep walking
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
She's a dancer
And she's holdin' on
To dreams of fame
No loser
But in her mind
It's coming apart
It's felony to me
To give it up -
She's gonna lose it
Been holding back on love
Pretending there's no way to turn
She's a prisoner
Got a lot to fight for -
(prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
Got a lot to fight for -
(prisoner)
She's a dreamer
And I imagine her
That she'll be mine
Chasing a dream
The lights they call
Got no love anymore
'cause she gave it all
It's insanity to me
To give it up -
She's gonna lose it
Back holding back on love
Pretending there's
No way to turn
She's a prisoner
Got a lot to fight for -
(prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
She's a prisoner
Ooh yeah - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
(can't you see what' going on)
It's mystic magic
Dancing on air
Some call it tragic
She's fading - fading away again
The looks are the smile is a lie
The clock drags on the smoke is in your eyes
You know the blame is someone's
But you don't quite know who
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you
Could run away from it
Prisoner, prisoner
Choosing death for life
(If you could only say)
Prisoner, prisoner smiling executioner
(You are a prisoner )
If money if love was in your life
If's run out gotta realize it's time
Confusion delusion alive in destitution
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you could
Run away from it
Prisoner, prisoner
Choosing death for life
(If you could only say)
Prisoner, prisoner smiling executioner
(You are a prisoner yea)
IOU this.
In-cest!, my kingdom is krank
PrisonER mesh, slash my flesh
This is my privacy, God,
Within a childish disguise
If I AM-OK surprise!
Dead end dreams end
Now and here
I.D.-Fic(a)tion in fear
Faithful and clear
I sit in front of you, near!
I feel your breath on my skin
Like I am living within
Try, understand how I feel
When you are ready to heal
Then touch my lips with your eyes
To kill this ugly disguise
Did I fulfill every praise
For I am one of this race
Have I not told you in time
That you comitted a crime?
To say that I have to stay
Has even scared me away
And now I look at my hands,
This is my personal trance!
Believe the synchronised thought
In-cubus. Land(lord) of Nod
Down-vein the gemini dead
Roaming spores and running sores and scorching fever. Score a pill to maybe
ease the pain. But there's more to come. The thunder's in your brain, the
lightning dances. Stars explode and spit. A foaming fit suck in a litt.
Press > but IT RISES! Bursts the ceiling, peeling clouds
and fleeing for the sun where maybe there's just a little peace. Oh please
God... Just a little peace. A small release.
Some people say they live for no good reason
I guess they live despite
The very things they choose not to believe in
And the love they must deny
I don't want that kind of they call it freedom
If I have to be a cynic when I die
I'd rather be a prisoner
Lock me in and never let me out
I'd rather be a prisoner of your love
Than to be the champion of my doubt
Some people say this world will end with a whimper
And some say with a bang
No matter how much your theories might differ
It's passing just the same
When it's gone I hope I can remember
Who to accuse and who I have to thank
I hope that I'm your prisoner
Well, maybe then you could transfer me out of here
I'd rather be a prisoner of your love
Than to be the victim of their fears
I hear the door shut, I hear the lock snap
I know that when you took me in that
You'd never let me go back
I see the people, I hear their angry shouts
And I know when you locked me in
You locked the world out
I'd rather be a prisoner
Well, you can lock me in and never let me out
I'd rather by a prisoner of your love
Than to be the champion of my doubt
I'd rather be a prisoner
Well, you can lock me in and never let me out
I'd rather be a prisoner of your love
Than to be the champion of my doubt
Somebody told me about it
When I was still a little boy
He said to me, crime does not pay
He said to me, education is the key, yeah
As a little boy I thought I know
What I was doing, yeah, man
But today, here I am in jail
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I looked all around me
But to see nothing
But four gray walls staring at me
The policeman said to me, ?Son
They won' t build no schools anymore
All they' ll build will be prison, prison
All they' ll build will be prison, prison
All they' ll build will be prison, prison?
'Cos today, yeah
I am a prisoner
I am a prisoner
I'm a prisoner, dear Lord
I asked the policeman and said
?How much must I pay for my freedom??
He said to me, ?Son
They won' t build no schools anymore
They won' t build no hospitals
They won' t build no hospitals?
?All they' ll build will be prison, prison
All they' ll build will be prison, prison
All they' ll build will be prison, prison
All they' ll build will be prison, prison?
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner
Time has come to say goodbye to broken memories
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees
Chorus:
Im a prisoner, go on and lock myself away
Just a prisoner, lonely, lonely
Im a prisoner, just when you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you (oooh)
Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, shouldve known from the start you were wrong
chorus
The sky is grey, its rainin, like the storm in my heart
There aint no use explainin, cause Im leavin, leavin, leavin, gone
(Instrumental break)
Tired blood runs through my veins, but I cant get no sleep
Locked my heart in these prison walls, this place I got to leave
chorus repeats 2x
(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me go
(Just a prisoner) Just cant take no more (lonely, lonely)
(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me leave
(Walks right out on you) Out on you
THE PRISONER
Howard Jones
You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've take hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me
This distant concentration takes away my energy
Your image burns it's negative
Behind my waking eyes
Then the night comes and you stalk your prize
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
From: "Susan Gornati"
(Lynch, Pilson, Brown)
It wasn't just your innocence
No, It wasn't temptation
It was just your own way
Of placing the blame on me
Stop thinking that it's all the name
You keep trading your love for pain
Someday her answer will come
'Cause there ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
The answer for your lonliness
Is only frustration
So you gave it all away
By placing the blame on me
Remember how it used to be
Your lies won't ----- that easily
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
There ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
---- and misery
'Cause I'm a prisoner
Did my time so let me be
Let me go
Your holding me
Someday her answer will come, you wait
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
That there ain't no way to escape
Escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling
Out my name
What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away
I?m like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes,
I?ve been taken
I?ve been hypnotized
I?m like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I?ve been taken
I?ve been hypnotized
Well eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever, and I can't escape
One minute's so sincere,
Then you completely turn against me
And I?m afraid
And you don't have to say you love me,
'Cause if you want me now, I'll stay
And I can't turn away
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
Taken by surprise
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
I?ve been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized
I?m like a prisoner
I?m like a prisoner
I?m like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I?ve been taken,
imagine you are locked up
in a cold black room
imagine you are jammed
between right and wrong
imagine there´s no way out
the vicious circle keeps on turning
the executioner keeps on smiling
see yourself in his position
this is the prisoner
this is the person unknow
this is pretending not to hear
this is pretending to listen
the man is getting nervous
he seems to be right
but the vicious circle keeps on turning
an he´s not strong enough
the man is getting insane
no matter right or wrong
sometime there´s revenge
and the vicious circle keeps on turing
this is the prisoner
this is the person unknow
this is pretending not to hear
Can't seem to do
The thing I intend
Though my intentions are good
I feel the wind move
And I'd like to bend
I say that I would and I know I should
But something inside me won't let me go
To be what I know I could be
Somehow I've got to break free
Won't somebody help me please
I'm a prisoner of my own will
I can't move ahead and I can't
Stand still
I wish that I was free to fly
I'm a prisoner of my own will
Locked in a cell
Of my weak desire
Chained to an alibi
Words have been said
That burned me like fire
But I don't give in and I don't
Know why
But something inside me won't let
Me let go
To be what my heart wants to be
Somehow I've got to break free
[Verse 1:]
Disturbing the peace, swerving in Suburbans from beef
Cops lurking, still searching me for murdering beats
I heard that you sweet, niggas look like girls when you speak
Crying all the time cause I'm around the world with my heat
The urban thief, [? ] have you heard on the street
You heard that we deep? Nigga we like birds in the tree
Dirty my trees for scuffling in church with the priest
Pharaoh clique clack the rebirth of MCs
First to squeeze, stomp you on your turf if I please
Mercy me, understand the words that I teach
The verse is complete and really what you're worth to me
Dinosaur Ds and fitteds with the purplest [? ]
[Verse 2:]
You in the big leagues dawg so you better get more raps
Labels more sheisty and they hit you with more stress
This rap shit got fam thinking we more black
Freedom from our contracts, album with more cheques
I came in this game self-centered with big nuts
I watched a lot of big-mouth rappers get jigged up
Now we at the round table holding our drinks up
Or backstage on tour blowing that stink up
As little kids we was all singing
Now with my family drinking under canopies
Reef, A-O, a glimpse on thug fantasy
A fireplace, white gold mantel under our Grammy beats
[Verse 3:]
Definition of nice, it just took me a little time
I talk to the mic, you scream at it like Lil' John
These DVD video shoots lying about
When niggas out here is spitting is true
These little niggas claustrophobic scared to get in the booth
What you spitting is funny, I'm McScrooge, I be swimming in money
Ask for a war you're getting it from me
Ask for an el, you ain't getting it from me
Probably a blunt, is you getting me dummy?
Probably a chump, aw nigga you funny
[? ] all my niggas is hungry, now hit em up [? ]
On my shit again, black mask, Timberlands
Mack out, looking for a crack in the crackhouse
Nigga what you stash 'bout? Blueprint back route
Fast [? ] man you fucking fiends with your ass out
Assed out, you's a fruitcake nigga
I stab you in the back cause I'm two-faced, nigga
[Verse 4:]
I am unearthly, I am darkness, the Suns curse me
I let the homicides begin like a young Percy
Anybody competing with me is unworthy
Anyone shooting three at me is in a Suns' jersey
I was born as a Catholic but the nuns turned me
I was born as a pacifist but the guns turned me
I was born to be a beautiful man
But the ugliness is powerful, I do what I can
That's why I try to drop a jewel on my man
And told him that the block is hotter than Jerusalem's sand
I don't never have to prove who I am
"We want, information, information, information
Who are you?
The new number 2
Who is number 1
You are number 6
I am not a number I am a free man
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha"
I'm on the run, I kill to eat
I'm starving now, feeling dead on the feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want, I'll do as I please
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going, out
If you kill me, it's self defence
And if I kill ya, then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye, I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cause I'll run rings round you
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cause I'll run rings round you
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I'm down in a hole, baby
You're locking' me up, lockin' me up
I got bound by a cold lady
She's lockin' me up, she's lockin' me up
I am down in a hole, baby
About to give up, just about to give up
I got bound by a cold lady
She's lockin' me up, she's lockin' me up
And this pain
This pain I feel
Won't set me free from you
'Cause I'm a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
But then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
But I was caught off guard
Oh, I'm helpless and I'm hurting
I'm affixed to your moves
And you shakin' me down
You got me locked up
In the dog house
You had to chain me up
'Cause I was fallin' for you
I am a helpless situation
I've been cut to the bone
And I'm coming for more
So if you need me
I'll be waiting
For the girl that I love
Just to be picking me out
This lockless cage you trapped me in
Has brought me to my knees
'Cause I'm a prisoner in your heart
I's takin' it slow
But then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
But I was caught off guard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I's takin' it slow
But then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I'm a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
But then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
But I was caught off guard
Oh I'm a prisoner in your heart
I's takin' it slow
But then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner in your heart
I was takin' it slow
When daylight splits the sky apart, and water burns the land,
The time will come, at last for you, to unlock my weary hands,
You said the moon will soon explode, raining flies of sweat,
Not long now friend, you'll soon be free, but freedoms not here yet.
Rats will sing the day I'm free, and god will prune his tail,
Boats will sink in fields of stone, lift up your blackened veil.
Sheep of death. howl out their call, my keepers here at last,
Prisoner
Gina was sixteen'n hot
Every inch she looked so good
This damned old town was too small
She headed out to the movies
I told her a thousand times
Please don't go away
And when she left me
(I knew) I won't surrender
She always told me that I'm a sucker
Now she's fighting on the streets for her life
Realize little prisoner
Your dream is dreamed and over
Realize little prisoner
Your dream is dreamed, over'n'out
I just looked into her eyes at the day of no return
I saw an empty space that I won't remember
I told her once again please don't go away
And when she left me I just heard a laughter
She always told me that I'm a sucker
Now she's fighting on the streets for her life
Realize little prisoner
Your dream is dreamed and over
Realize little prisoner
Your dream is dreamed, over'n'out
Thousands of sluts they're passing my brain
'Cause I got the way how to die
I've got the powder which boils in your veins
Come take my dreams and you'll fly
All it was a dream of tomorrow
A dream of fame and gold
Another day a sirenge is sticking in her veins
Nobody's light could ever blind me
Don't understand what's going on
I feel like I was struck by lighting
Stopped me dead in my tracks
Now there's no turning back
Feels like I'm walking through a mine field
I've gotta watch every step I take
'Cause now I'm just a weary solider
Who's losing the war
I can't fight anymore
Lay down your weapons I surrender
You shot me through the heart
Right through my defenses
Your bullet found it's mark
Blew my world apart
Chain me forever
So I can be a prisoner of love
I always knew you'd be the danger
I shoulda run when I had the chance
Now there's no way I can escape you
As weak as I am
I've made my last stand
Lady down your weapons I surrender
You shot me through the heart
Right through my defenses
Your bullet found it's mark
Blew my world apart
Chain me forever
So I can be a prisoner of love
And I don't know what's coming next
Never felt like this before
And it scares me half to death
I'm trusting you with my life
Your bullet found it's mark
Blew my work apart
Chain me forever
Chain me forever
So I can be your prisoner
Lay down your weapons I surrender
You shot me through the heart
Right through my sefenses
Your bullet found it's mark
Ripped my world apart
Chain me forever
So I can be your prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Bullet found it's mark
Blew my world apart
Chain me forever
Floor is so cold
Four walls and a mattress
I'm closing my eyes
I see you standing in that black dress
I'm only guilty of loving you
Keep me lock in the prison if I can't have you
And the rest of my life
Will be filled up with madness
Take these chains of love
And wrap them around me
Set my heart on fire
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
Dripping the paint on the wall
Scraping in your in the plaster
Trying to find my way to you
The sight only came to me after(after,after)
I'm only guilty of loving you
Keep me lock in the prison if I can't have you
And if they kill me escaping
It's 'cause I'm trying to get to you faster
Why don't you
Take these chains of love
And wrap them around me
Set my heart on fire
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
Spend your life with me
I don't wanna be release
Lock me up internally
Loose the key
Baby,please
Forever's not enough for me
Take these chains of love
And wrap them around me
Set my heart on fire
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
Take these chains of love
And wrap them around me
Set my heart on fire
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I'll be your prisoner
(Don't let me out,let me out)
I break the chains who catch me
now I can hide
I destroy my bad habits
who want destroy my mind
tell me, what I am? and tell me
-never looking back
in my dreams I repeat
the words what now you hear
[Estribillo]
I'll be your prisoner
and you'll be mine
Prisoner!
for seven years I dwelt
in the palace of the exile
now I have to come again...
To my hometown
if they say I never loved you
you know they are a liar
come on, take by the hand
follow me across the sea
this is the beginning of a new life
our past terror, our death in life
peace is better for me, a lot of things
are better for me
give me all I needed
I can't loose this train
[Chorus x3: w/ variations]
I'm just a prisoner, ohh noo
(I'm just)
[Verse 1]
Young man stepping off an uptown train
Ground still wet from the cold hard rain
Living in the city, know the streets by name
Take a walk with me, come and feel my pain
See what I see, come and get my glimpse
Dig a little deeper that the media clips
Underneath strugglers and the hardships
Two bit hustlers, big time pimps
Now look at little Mike, I heard he lost his dad
Drank a lot of liquor, made his liver turn bad
Now I see him out there serving that Yac
Will he even live to be a high school grad?
But see that lady named old Ms. Givens
Who used to serve lunch to the homeless children
Worked a lot of overtime, still got evicted
Spent her last dollar on a lottery ticket
I witness this from behind my gates
Totally determined to decide my fate
Food for thought when I'm saying my grace
I wonder if I ever will escape this place
[Chorus X2]
[Verse 2]
Now I done seen a lot of things in this town
Cry me a river like the tears of a clown
Made me familiar with the sites and sounds
To hit ya with the rhythm so you gotta get down
Shake off the blues to forget my past
Forget that I'm a prisoner but still I'm trapped
Stack a little cash, have a little stash
You either rich or poor, ain't no middle class
Man I'm trying to get it any way I choose
Come around the way and walk a day in my shoes
Same neighborhood where I paid my dues
And you can see the homies on the late night news
Why they out thugging trying to fire them guns
Don't the realize that they mama's need sons
Abusing their lives like it's gotta be done
Young black male that society shuns
If everything we do is so clean and so fresh
Then why have we become such a people oppressed
You say you don't care, hate it you I guess
It's a living nightmare, but its where I rest
[Chorus X2]
[Verse 3]
Now prison is a place full of cold hard facts
Where even the innocent might get trapped
Run down housing overcome by crack
The teachers can't even get a good contract
If it ain't the cats doing they hard bids
Or the mama's out working on the graveyard shifts
If it ain't the artists who display our gifts
Then tell me who the hell is gonna save our kids
Preacher man tell me, can it get any worse?
Don't the Lord love us, are we really just cursed?
With the hunger and thrist while I'm saying my grace
I pray for the day we can escape this place
Yeah
[Bizzy Bone:]
I keep it poppin in the city and it's harder than the column
Lock it, if not then we gon' do it with the quickness, and the holy 'ah
Swifter with the thought, is they slippery, liberty or not?
I'm stuck up in the prison, religion, and do you see the cause?
Hatin in the temple, we got it, is you ready or not?
As-Salaam Alaikum, can't break 'em unless the hatin stops
Clockin in the nation, wanted my presence in the séance
God, I'm a play on, mosiac, don't even say it
Okay, no way, 55, no ways
That's the way we play, all day, all day
Christ, slice the diamonds in the knife
Yes, B.B. I'm the best, most definitely
Hefty, the water is so maximum, then holla back at 'em
"You got 'em Daddy? " We gon' mash on 'em (mash on 'em)
Ghetto harmony, the army in the faction of the masses
Mob Life, Soprano, my nigga with no apples
[Chorus x2: Bizzy Bone]
Baby chill, you know that you gon' be all right
And everything is tight, stars in the sky and a little of the moonlight
Ride to the rhythm of a prisoner
Ride to the rhythm of a prisoner
[Layzie Bone:]
Okay I'll do it for the money, the chains and the bracelets
Caddy coupes and the Maybach too, daily I be chasin it
Nigga I'm impatient with it, all the time I'm tryin to get it
All about perfect timin, dig it? I'm a giant, you a midget
I could talk or show my digits, put that on my love
You talk about it, we live it, put that on my thug
We thugged out niggaz, from the St. Clair area
Still got bank that's buried up, these motherfuckers is scared to touch
Rush up on a nigga with the wig split still
Even though these niggaz sue I gotta keep it real
For the house up on the hill, I murda murda kill
That there is where I live, up there we do it big
Protected by Jesus, stand back, back
Artillery shops so stacked up; I be waitin for a nigga to act up
My ride down's a smooth one, these guns man I use them
Most times I got two guns, I'm a burst and I'm a fool son
[Chorus]
[Bizzy Bone:]
Now what are you thinkin about, leavin me stranded, I didn't plan it
Fresh Ralph Laurens, umbrellas to limos, still standin
Check the watch baby, wait, I must do business alone
Give me problems when I come home, now you in the zone
I'm makin love, let you know it's the choices of a dove
Who hardcore? Genesis baby, this is the cov'
Second God and give me immaterial love fo' sho'
No Eve, not an angel in sight, baby you know
When it's over then it's over, you can put it on, oh
There they go, watchin mental where your spirit and soul
Never been married and my brother's been murdered, but momma boast{? }
Close the case, then we gone, spend eternity with the Lord
No sentence, no repentance, just clean clothes in the ward
Huh, we in the yard, Allahu Akbar give me the swords
Slap skins with the homie, watchin my mother and child
Worship no cow, Thug love, baby you know my style
take it easy
easy
inside the prison is where we resign
we got it right dats why we're serving this time
let us out now and again
so dat we don't go too insane
i'll survive, i'll get by, i don't know why
life inside this cell
prisoner who's the prisoner
i'm your prisoner
you're my prisoner
i'm sick of seeing your face
i'd take it an exit from out this place
but when i think of breaking out
i remember this without a doubt
trying stay alive 247 365
trying stay alive 247 365
trying stay alive 247 365
trying stay alive 247 365
prisoner, i'm your prisoner
she's my prisoner
i'm your prisoner
paupers and pleasants stay at the back of the queue
but those with cash money rush and come through
paupers and pleasants stay at the back of the queue
but those with cash money rush and come through
as we drive along inside this cell
i cannot stand this smell
the want to wash scrapes through my skin
dreadlocks growing on my chin
i'll survive i'll survive
and i'll get by
casulties of war
prisoner who's the prisoner
i'm your prisoner
i'm the prisoner
mondays just like tuesday, tuesdays just like

prisoner who's the prisoner
i'm your prisoner
who's the prisoner
Sick mind with no past
Blends all days into eternal light
A sick face
A sick mind
A shadow of tomorrow
Maybe it's me
A prisoner with a shavel head
A prisoner of nuclear shelter
As horrified as me
A sick face
A sick mind
A shadow of tomorrow
Maybe it's me
Open graves
Trampled holiness
Where are you going
There's nothing there
But his hand gives me a sign
You're the labyrinth
Of madness
You're sinking
Into dead night
Take me with you
Into the burning abyss
Into the bottomless pit
With no respite
A sick face
A sick mind
A shadow of tomorrow
It must be me
Take me with you
In the dimensionless pit
Into the immense sea
Ignore
The daily trouble with a smile
Machines around you never ask you why
They say
Don't rest even for a while
Your head say yes
Don't lose
Your way gotta stick to your guns
My way is different from the normal ones
Take care
Thinking about my future life
I tell you that I know what's right
Don't tell me the rules
And what is right and where to go
Don't tell me what to think
And what I have to know
I cannot stand the pain
Prisoner
Locked in by myself
Prisoner
The world against me is my engine
To create myself
Can't you feel the fire burning inside my head
Ignore
The lies they tell you all the time
Machines around you never ask you why
They say you have to pay for what you want
Your body says no
I'm a prisoner, prisoner
How I long to be free
How would I know, how this world should be
Outside my mind
I'm an angel, angel
Raised to be a saint
How would I know, how this world should be
Trapped inside these walls
I feel so alone, it's freezing my soul
Come with me to this freak show
I hate everything, it drowns my good will
Come with me and I'll lead you to hell
Can't you hear me
HOLDING ON
Pieces of my sanity
I CAN'T GO ON
I'm fading under
I'M INSANE MY THOUGHTS ARE FADING
MY SWEET SAVIOUR, PROVIDING ME
MY SAFE HAVEN, BRINGING ME DOWN
Am I evil, prisoner
If I'm set to be free
How would I know, how this world would be
There's a story I've got to tell you
Be ready, I'm gonna tell the truth
It seems you were my enemy
You know you kept me under lock and key
Ref.
Everytime I look at your face,
I see it's calling my name,
Why does it hurt me so bad?
Everytime I look at your face,
Your eyes are burning with hate,
Why don't you just get away?
This thing is blowing up my mind
How could this happen in my life?
You're just a liar, nothing more...
I was a Prisoner, now I'm free to go
Ref.
Everytime I look at your face ...
Everytime I look at your face ...
There's a story I've got to tell you
Beware, I'm gonna tell the truth
You are a liar, nothing more
I was a fool, now I'm on the run
Ref.
Who’s the one living with us?
Who’s standing between us?
Whose world we’re living in?
Whose rules we’re following?
That one is me
and you see
I’m unable to see it clearly
Words that I say
are not of my own
I’m a prisoner of unknown
Someone else is pulling me,
she’s making me do things,
I don’t wanna do
Someone else keeps tearing you
and that someone is not me
This ain’t no me
that you see
This ain’t no me that you’re hearing
Words that you hear
I do not know
I’m a prisoner of my mind
Someone else is living here
I’m breaking away from sanity
This ain’t no me
that you see
This ain’t no me
that you’re hearing
Words that you hear
are not of my own
I’m a prisoner of my mind
That one is me
and you see
I’m unable to see it clearly
Words that I say
I do not know
You've got the power to set me free,
why don't you give it, give it to me
I'd sell you short is that what you thought,
don't you see there's no mystery
You'll change you mind we're so short of time
I've drawn a sentence my life's on the line
I'm gonna die I've got to get out,
I'm gonna try just let me shout
(Chorus)
I'm a prisoner, set me free
I'm a prisoner, let me out
I'm a prisoner, set me free
I'm a prisoner, let me out
Your bright blue eyes are staring at me,
closer now than they'll ever be
My minds running wild there's nobody there,
Reach up to the sky, no one seems to care
This empty cell so dark and lonely,
Cold thick stone and bars surround me
I'm getting weaker by the hour,
Outside I hear the distant laughter
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Repeat 1st Verse
[Chorus: Legacy]
Lock me up throw away the key
I'll make sure I won't stop
If you make sure it's wet for me
You got me trapped for life
I'm probably gonna die in you
Prisoner inside I'm a prisoner inside you
[Verse 1: Legacy]
Imagine your face after our lips touch
One time it's cool for you to kiss your daddy
You say that your last couldn't make you bust
Well baby my love will make you trigger happy
Once you let it off it's gonna sound like
I'm a bring yo shit back and put it down like
I Know that I'm good I got that loud pipe
They hear it outside (baby don't that sound like... SEX!)
Baby come hear I swear I'll slow it down
All you kno is weak and stroke
Well I'm wat you don't know about
We close I know I know balls got you opened now
Into deep in that motherfucker hope he drownds
Started talkin shit like I couldn't hold it down
Baby came up broke I know damn sure dat ain't oprahs child
She love tha sex so much that she wrote her vows
This is my third strike I guess I'm goin down
[Chorus: Legacy]
Lock me up throw away the key
I'll make sure I won't stop
If you make sure it's wet for me
You got me trapped for life
I'm probably gonna die in you
Prisoner inside I'm a prisoner inside you
Lock me up throw away the key
I'll make sure I won't stop
If you make sure it's wet for me
You got me trapped for life
I'm probably gonna die in you
Prisoner inside I'm a prisoner inside you
[Verse 2: Legacy]
I asked her for a rubber (I asked her for a rubber)
She said that she ain't got one (she said that she ain't got one)
I said I'll only do one pump then
Fuck it I ain't stoppin
She said that she can't cum no more
Can I catch my breath please? "I said yeah"
She dozed off then woke up to a wet dream
She told me stop it nigga
I can't be around you bust when you touch it
And now I'm cummin when I think about you
She asked me how I do it? and I'm like "hell if I know"
My toungue just hunting gold your pussy El Dorado
And I'm enjoying it never ashamed
My head could stay under that blancket for days
You'll have to pull me away
Now her belly wasn't fakin'
She waz humble to my gift cause she said she couldn't take it
I don't kno why they act like prison is the worst place
As long as it's witchu I'll be missing every court date
[Chorus: Legacy]
Lock me up throw away the key
I'll make sure I won't stop
If you make sure it's wet for me
You got me trapped for life
I'm probably gonna die in you
Prisoner inside I'm a prisoner inside you
Lock me up throw away the key
I'll make sure I won't stop
If you make sure it's wet for me
You got me trapped for life
I'm probably gonna die in you
I'm too weak to escape
I'm too proud to admit
That I cannot leave this place
Caught all day and night
Protected from myself
I'll never get out of here
I will never confess
I'll always deny
I'll always be your prisoner
You are the one who can ease the pain
You are the one who can make me feel stronger, make me
last longer
You are the one who keeps me insane
Not aware of the world around me 'cause I'm too blind
to see
How many days and nights have passed
How long have I been watched
I forgot to care long ago, so long ago
Your voice makes me calm
Your words make me alive
I want to be your prisoner
You are the one who can ease the pain
You are the one who can make me feel stronger, make me
last longer
You are the one who keeps me insane
Not aware of the world around me 'cause I'm too blind
to see
I'm your prisoner
I'm your prisoner
I'm your prisoner
I'm your prisoner
Your voice makes me calm
Your words make me alive
I want to be your prisoner
You are the one who can ease the pain
You are the one who can make me feel stronger, make me
last longer
You are the one who keeps me insane
Not aware of the world around me 'cause I'm too blind
to see
You are the one who can ease the pain
You are the one who can make me feel stronger, make me
last longer
You are the one who keeps me insane
Not aware of the world around me 'cause I'm too blind
to see
I'm your prisoner
Long before
I breathed the air that smelt of trees
Long before
I could see a sky above me
I've been trapped there so long
I don't recall the colour of the sea
I have not a companion
but the drops that are fallin' all over me
Since I was left down there
I want to know the one
who keeps the key of my chains
Since I was left down there
I haven't seen a ray of sun
breaking through my cage
ooooh ooooh please, set me free
ooooh ooooh please, set me free
I don't mind who will take care of me
all I want is to break free
runnin' away
I don't know the place where I will live
but I want just to feel free
be free again
ooooh ooooh please, set me free
ooooh ooooh please, set me free
he's the reason why you left me Does she please you like I did? Tell me And if she really makes you happy Then how come that I don't feel it, heyeah
Why do you look so sad? Are you thinking of what we had? I know there'll come a day You will see you were wrong in the first place
I can read it in your eyes You don't seem satisfied So boy it's clean to see You just wanna get back to me
'Cause you know where the parties at Or you know where the parties at And I know that you can't forget What we had, how we kissed, how you felt
So you know where the parties at And think of all the fun we'll have Oh, I know that you won't regret I make clean to her that you're not her prisoner
She can't love you like I loved you I'll make you lose your mind Again and again
I'll be Juliet tonight I'll keep my window open wide You know this could get so high Only once won't be enough
You know where the parties at Or you know where the parties at And I know that you can't forget What we had, how we kissed, how you felt
So you know where the parties at And think of all the fun we'll have Oh, I know that you won't regret I make clean to her that you're not her prisoner
What has she done to you You're not the one I knew Your eyes were full of joy What happened to you boy?
It's not too late to plan this big escape I think it's such a shame You have to loose what you have Just to know how you will
You know where the parties at Or you know where the parties at And I know that you can't forget What we had, how we kissed, how you felt
You won't leave me alone tonight
You call with your friends, starting a fight
I want to scream so loud
You fall to the ground
Now hers my way for getting even
You won't like the other way
Just take what i'm offering
Or take the responsiblity
Okay,
Now heres your chains
And your voice remains
I've got the key
I'll set you free
You know i met her
Bye bye picture
Now you're my prisoner
I left it up to you
Don't get mad at me
You must respect
The one with the key
Just let me be
Okay,
Now heres your chains
And your voice remains
I've got the key
I'll set you free
You know i met her
Bye bye picture
Now you're my prisoner
You can't take it all on me
When you;re the one thats scared for me
I'll be fine by myself
I want somebody else
Keep your comments to yourself
I need the air
To enter where you left me
Leave me be
Okay,
Now heres your chains
And your voice remains
I've got the key
I'll set you free
You know i met her
Bye bye picture
Bye bye picture.....
Bye bye prisoner
Remember leave me alone.
Leave me be.
I know her
I have the strength in me
You can't change the things you do
Cause everything you ever knew is over
Stop pretend (you know me)
I won't listen (You don't know me)
Everything is (So messed up)
Inside my head
It's so up to you
When your black and blue
I'm a prisoner
I'm gonna hunt you down
You will not give it up
Any more I take
Was it worth the pain
You will not give it up
Thought you got run away
But you lived another day
It's someone else that you found
In the end
Stop pretend (you know me)
I won't listen (You don't know me)
Everything is (So messed up)
Inside my head
It's so up to you
When your black and blue
I'm a prisoner
I'm gonna hunt you down
You will not give it up
Any more I take
Was it worth the pain
You will not give it up
You made the choice to walk away
And take it back
Where ever you are
Don't think of me as some one
You could have known
The damaged is done
I broke this chain off you and me
And now we're gone
I'm a prisoner
I'm gonna hunt you down
You will not give it up
Any more I take
Was it worth your pain
You will not give it up
You will not give it up
You will not give it up
There's a place around this sign the sky's parade All I want to see you laugh and see the way I find some way to oh If there were some way to find the ancient way Restless eyes
