I wish that life was like it is in the movies
Cos the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end he’s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to lions
No-one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no-one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can’t hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armour
With an army just to bring you back home
But I’ll admit I’m scared of dialling your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can’t it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can’t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I’m bleeding from
And I realise this is real
I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I’d never dream in the end it would fail
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can’t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I’m bleeding from
I wish that life was like it is in the movies
'Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end he´s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
No one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no one wrote me new lines
For what I said wrong
What I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armour
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
I always thought that our love
Was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream
In the end it could fail
'Cause this is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I´m bleeding from
And I realize this is real

Verse 1:
Aiyyo,
Rollie what's up son Noodles had a problem
He called Lucky Hands lab saying niggas mobbed him
Max was on the outskirt trickin' in DC
Blaze had a shorty in his lab gettin' weed for free
That night I was in the cut alone zoned out
Suggest I rock a utility vest when I'm bonin' out
Yeah you know it, Bobby told me before
Keep the heat by the side of the door
Ready for military war
Numerous cats, niggas is uterus
Who this, claimin' that he loking for Louis Rich
Diamond a young king doing his thing
Big safes out in Beijing
Aqua green thing
One connect had turned on him
God, shit got realer than a fuck
Crackers up state want him
Marshalls came through the hood that night
Bagged my man Chaz 32 bags he copped flight
Now he upstate baggin' niggas
House and Air Maxs big ACs
Won the Oscar award for crabbing niggas
Now all y'all niggas get to laugh now

Verse 2:
February tenth day on a Wednesday
It's like grimsday
Russian hats rocking it the Benz way
That day we got guns on us
Jakes want us,
Playin Einstein lenses and Auroras
Little meek caught us
Couple of francs, peep the blue Taurus
What up tuck your chain they came for us
Jumped out big nines and some hard bottles
Eyes of hate finally meeting up wid the stakes
It was who I thought it was
2 pair of Clarks one pair of Lugz
Wit the hardbottom nigga wid the snub
Cocked it, where rock at, stop that
Violate this cipher pa we'll definitely strike back
All of us right there slight fear in our heart
Blink we take it right there
Doing our thing apart
Broad jumped out tryin' to run shit
Spoken loud words all we want is his head
He did some dumb shit
Beef from Miami now
Damn yo big head Lance in some wild shit
Noodles caught the stair down
Now it came back to me yo
Handle it wise and brutally yo
Put down your tooly and talk like men
No shots rang yo, hittin' the ground like mangoes
Swiss cheese the thirty-G dorango
Few weeks later son seem 'em all..
I mean 'em all..
Hook
(Repeat x2)
Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear
Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green
Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams
Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park
Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark
Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
He said listen babe we gatta take what's ours do it or die
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Way out on the dock that night the colour is red
23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath
Outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean
Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
All my love, you're my all
They way you move, you're in control
The way you talk, the way you dress
Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress.
All my love, you're the best,
Every little thing that I possess,
It's all emotion when you take control,
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
Oh my love, all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
If this going to kill us then let it go,
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream,
Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,
It's a sweet life baby
All my love, you're my all
The way you move, the way you go
I'm all emotion whin you take control
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
All my love, you're all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
The way you move, you're in control
In my mind, you're moving around my head And the world I'm living in, I can't draw the line In my mind, can't get her out of my head There's nothing left for you to say to me I just don't know who to be It's killing me
She makes me feel like I've been born again She makes me feel like I'm in real life She makes me feel that there is nothing wrong She makes me want to be in real life
In my mind, reality's out of place I'm not even sleeping But I think I'm in a dream In real life, in real life, in real life
Feels like a lifetime away A moment that was lost It's my broken feelings that lie Abandoned in your heart
In my mind, she seems so real to me There's just a shadow where you used to be Now there's nothing left to see It's killing me
She makes me feel like I've been born again She makes me feel like I'm in real life She makes me feel that there is nothing wrong She makes me want to be in real life
I had a dream I was running
Towards Your mountain.
Real life, this is real life.
And in my dream I wasn't alone.
Real life, this is real life.
Hundreds and thousands dressed in white.
I believe in You.
Say You will come and I'll be waiting for You.
Washed in the blood of the lamb........
May you be strong
And always believing what's true.
Come away with me into the everlasting light,
I do believe in you
Now I do believe, I believe
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it and pretty soon
You'll find the fingers fit
You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it
And find your groove before the others trip
It started with a look
And pretty soon it was a valentine
And when the whole earth shook
I pass him over to a friend of mine
He started as a squeeze
But pretty soon he was a tourniquet
I'll take my life back please
I liked it better with the time to play
(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving
It started with a kiss and
Pretty soon it was a compromise
But with a kung fu twist
I pulled his focus back and on my mind
It started with a drink
That pretty soon became a waterfall
But then my face turned pink cos
I believed him when he said he'd call (said he'd call)
(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving, viving
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
And I'm free
To speak the mind about you
And I see
What any other guy would do
Why would I put you down?
Under water no breath
No matter what I've found
Nor what you did to me
Is this real life,for you?
You see love,is out there, for you too
And I plead
Guilty on every account
There's no need
For excuses or why I got out
Why would I put you down?
Under water no breath
No matter what I've found
Nor what you did to me
Is this real life,for you?
Don't ask me what I'm thinking
I can't handle it
Didn't plan on this
Don't ask me what I'm drinking
Hip hop hey what's wassup
Nothin' doin' but
If I had a real life
I could break my hands
And maybe feel life
Not understand it
As if I had a real life
Not a bland and broken false reality
Sign up for lie detection
They'll examine me
Shine a light and see
Won?t fight a slight depression
Say it can't be done
Nothing comes from fun but
If I had a real life
I could break the mold
And maybe steal life
From those who stole it
As if they had a real life
Not an old and smokin' false reality
Girl gone crazy
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out
World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now anyhow
Buy me a billionaire
And maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept
Write me a baudelaire
And sign me up a cut
If you're going up 'cuz
If I had a real life
I could break it down
And maybe feel life
Not just drown in it
As if I had a real life
Not a town and country false reality
Girl gone crazy
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out
World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now
Anyhow
Destroy the government
And set me up as king
I've been wonderin'
About the precedent
Of pushin' me around
Goin' underground 'cuz
If I had a real life
I could break the rules
And maybe feel life
Instead of foolish
As if I had a real life

I still see the kid in me
Building castles by the sea
And skipping rocks across those ocean waves
Still building buoy rafts
And sailing on the Kachemak
And running wild across Alaskan plains
And all my yesterdays
Don't seem so long ago now
And all those early years
Will always seem like home somehow
And it was real life
And it was real good
It was a place I took for granted
'Cause I just never understood
And there was real pain
There were real tears
But the way my Mama loved me
Somehow carried all those years
It was real life, oh it was real life
I still see the kid in jeans
But now he's standing next to me
Never thought that I'd have boys to raise
I don't have it figured out
It still feels like playing house
And it's something I am learning everyday
And all of my today's seem
Like they're rushing by so fast
And every time I look around
I pray that it will last
And it's real life
And it's real good
And sometimes I take it all for granted
Even though I never should
And there is real pain
And there are real tears
But the way my baby loves me
Somehow carries all these years
And this is real life
When I'm old and turning gray
And my boys have moved away
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I hope I leave a legacy
I hope that God is proud of me
I hope that I leave something good behind
And all my yesterdays
Are flashing right before my eyes
And I'm standing in God's presence
When I finally realize
This is real life
This is real good
It's a place I took for granted
'Cause I just never understood
And there'll be no pain
And there'll be no tears
'Cause the way my Father loves me
Is the reason I am here
This is real life
Oh, this is real life
Met her at the high school dance down at the Aragon
He was rockin’ them parachute pants, leather high tops on
Couple years later they went and got hitched by a
Justice of the peace
Settled down in a Minnesota town and the rest is history
Baby this is real life, yeah they’re doin’ just fine
Real life, real life alright
Left home when she was 17, got her first tattoo
Never was the homecoming queen, never was that cool
Now she’s serving up drinks and getting new ink
On the east side of L.A.
Not the choice her mama would make and she likes it that way
Baby this is real life, yeah she’s doin’ just fine
Real life, real life alright
Ain’t always fun, it ain’t always pretty
Down in the country, up in the city
Everybody’s different but one thing’s true
We all gotta’ do what we gotta’ do
So me and my gypsy heart gonna
Pack up and hit the road
Got a song in this ol guitar and a string of shows
When that highway calls baby I’ll come runnin’
With my gas tank full and my six string strumming
Got a few friends that’ll keep on coming
This is all I know
Baby this is real life, yeah I’m doin’ just fine

Trust so still
Can you hear it?
What more can you want?

In all the wrong places?
Why is it hard to see

I woke up lost, along the road
My body burned by the sun, burned by the sun
As I defrost beside the fire,
I contemplate my escape
Played my mistakes
Around and around and around
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life on the road.
I'm alive, scream alive,
My body sprays out a spark
Sprays out a spark,
burning a hole in the dark
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life.
My body sprays out a spark,
Sprays out a spark
Yeah let me burn in the sun
Burn in the sun oooh
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life

Max was on the outskirt trickin' in DC
Blaze had a shorty in his lab gettin' weed for free
That night I was in the cut alone zoned out
Suggest I rock a utility vest when I'm bonin' out
Yeah you know it, Bobby told me before
Keep the heat by the side of the door
Ready for military war
Numerous cats, niggas is uterus
Who this, claimin' that he loking for Louis Rich
Diamond a young king doing his thing
Big safes out in Beijing
Aqua green thing
One connect had turned on him
God, shit got realer than a fuck
Crackers up state want him
Marshalls came through the hood that night
Bagged my man Chaz 32 bags he copped flight
Now he upstate baggin' niggas
House and Air Maxs big ACs
Won the Oscar award for crabbing niggas
Now all y'all niggas get to laugh now
Who got the last laugh now
Hit his stash house
Hook:It's called real life
Y'all niggas betta see the light fast pa
Real life, it don't cost nuttin' just to blast
Real life, lay down son you won't last
Real life
Real life
Real life
Verse 2:
February tenth day on a Wednesday
It's like grimsday
Russian hats rocking it the Benz way
That day we got guns on us
Jakes want us,
Playin Einstein lenses and Auroras
Little meek caught us
Couple of francs, peep the blue Taurus
What up tuck your chain they came for us
Jumped out big nines and some hard bottles
Eyes of hate finally meeting up wid the stakes
It was who I thought it was
2 pair of Clarks one pair of Lugz
Wit the hardbottom nigga wid the snub
Cocked it, where rock at, stop that
Violate this cipher pa we'll definitely strike back
All of us right there slight fear in our heart
Blink we take it right there
Doing our thing apart
Broad jumped out tryin' to run shit
Spoken loud words all we want is his head
He did some dumb shit
Beef from Miami now
Damn yo big head Lance in some wild shit
Noodles caught the stair down
Now it came back to me yo
Handle it wise and brutally yo
Put down your tooly and talk like men
No shots rang yo, hittin' the ground like mangoes
Swiss cheese the thirty-G dorango
Few weeks later son seem 'em all..
I mean 'em all..
Hook
(Repeat x2)
Real life"
Take time to realize
A time for real life
I wanted to realize a time of real life
I stood up on my chair and wanted to realize
That real life would be a good thing for any life
I sat down on by chair and couldn't find anything to despair
I would realize if I'd be fortified
I'd want to build buildings with one person
You please realize the fact I just realized
You never went up hills, you've just stood up still
If I'd just realize the fact of real life
I've never went away, shall I go now
I could now, I never did
You never realized the fact of real life
Now you will take away the practice of real life
So you please realize the fact I just realized
You've never took it up, you make it good enough
You release your time, into real life
I fact I read and play is not for you to say
I've got into real life
It's not hard to realize
The time for real life
Whoa, whoa
I wanted to realize
My love
Everything
Such with control
No more
Need to buy some more
I've seen the lightning flashing
Heard the thunder roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul
[Chorus]
If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I can keep the faith through the night
I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
Cuz I come to know I've come too far to turn around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy is gonna come tomorrow
Though I go through the fire
I shall come out as pure gold
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
If you just stand your ground
[Chorus]
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
If you just, just stand your ground
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I don't have to fight no more no no no
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
If I'm so alive, then why is a liveless snake around my neck.
Gonna strike my bones to make me weak.
Wake up and speak.
Tell me what to believe?
I'm lost in speech, I cannot breathe.
I must be falling deep, falling deep.
I'm paniking. x2
I'm not in my scheme.
But I won't let this bring me down.
They want to see me fall down.
I cannot be ignored, don't think, don't breathe without me.
I cannot be alone, just say you'll never leave me.
Do you know the things I've done?
If you did would you still call me son?
Do you see the things I see?
The devils around my neck becoming apart of me.
It's setting in, it's getting deeper and deeper.
What's happening? x2
I'm paniking. x2
I'm not in my scheme.
But I won't let this bring me down.
They want to see me fall down.
I cannot be ignored, don't think, don't breathe without me.
I cannot be alone, just say you'll never leave me.
I cannot be ignored, don't think, don't breathe without me.
I cannot be alone.
I won't mind if you take my time.
Hold me now, I'm sorry, I need you.
I cannot be ignored, don't think, don't breathe without me.
I cannot be alone, just say you'll never leave me.
Welcome to the real life
Welcome to the real life
I've come to realise it's no game
No one is the same
There's so much more to life
Than meets the eye
At night I just can't sleep
The mornings come too soon
My head is swimming in
The mess around this room
Voices in the street
I hear them telling me
Welcome to the real life
Open up your eyes
Listen to the words they're saying
The chords are changing
So take off your disguise and step out of the night
Sometimes just can't think
I can't think what to do
The noise is deafening
And I can't get through to you
Voices in the street
I hear them asking me
What are we coming to?
Why are the reasons so few?
What are we coming to?
What does it mean to you?
After all we've been through
It all comes down to you
It all comes down to you
Certain, genuine, almost positive
Right definite, sincere
Broke vitality, truth humanity
That's not what's happening here
oooh, oooh, this is real life
oooh, oooh, this is real life
I'm sitting here waiting, wondering where you been
Don't you know you're late again?
Sitting here thinking, figuring you would call
The phone don't ring at all
I'm not a girl whose living in a fantasy world
So tell me are we fictional, fact
Cause right now I gotta know (gotta know)
I wanna know where we're at
Get a grip baby we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life
?Have honey? would never be true love
I can almost never be in love
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (you twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (real life)
You're blowing hot and cold
And I don't know where you're coming from
What planet are you living on?
And I'm not the girl of a type who will forgive and forget
(Have I, Have I got you attention yet?)
I'm not a girl whose living in a big dream world
This time there's no compromise
So if you want me for good, you better open your eyes
Certain, genuine, almost positive
Right definite, sincere
Broke vitality, truth humanity
That's not what's happening here
oooh, oooh, this is real life
oooh, oooh, this is real life
Get a grip baby we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life
?Have honey? would never be true love
I can almost never be in love
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (you twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (real life)
Get a grip baby we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life
?Have honey? would never be true love
I can almost never be in love
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (you twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (real life)
Get a grip baby we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life
It's up to you, come on
Get a grip baby we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life
?Have honey? would never be true love
I can almost never be in love
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (you twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (real life)
[Layzie Bone, Treach, Bizzy Bone]

[Verse 1: Layzie Bone]
Woke up this mornin with my eyes wide,
Feelin the pressure of livin today now why should i try?
Im tired of feelin this pain, game gon recognize game,
And any nigga that really aint feelin me
Is the epitome of what I be doin these niggas is slippery,
If its the history let it repeat itself,
Treat yourself dont cheat yourself,
To a life live long, watch your health, better yourself and take care of yourself
Tell em to suck on these nuts, money dont grow on trees what
Killas will stop and squeeze bust,
Funny how shit dont ease up
Strapped with the heat, live in the streets
I gotta go get it, whatever we need
My wife and my seed dependin on me
Im tryin to be the best I can be
Talk about life, I wont get it twice
Makin this money for me and my wife,
Niggas is wantin to shut me down
What about the kids the kids the kids is great
Watch out my nigga we dominate
Make it to where you cant concentrate
Releasing it through when we bomb on hate
Real life comin atcha, real life shit can happen, real life talkin to ya,
Now holla at me.
[Chorus #2: Bizzy Bone & Layzie Bone]
We been wheelin n dealin all our lives,
Money gon make me crazy, jesus christ
I see the light through little Layzie's eyes
Hope he can see him in mine,
This money gon make me crazy, this money gon make me crazy baby (hard time hustlin).
We been wheelin n dealin all our lives,
Money gon make me crazy, jesus christ
I see the light in Trigga Treach's eyes,
Hope he can see him in mine
Money gon make me crazy, money gon make me crazy baby (hard time hustlin).
[Verse 2: Treach]
Twenty to twenty to bottles of bottles of beer on the beer on the wall
A twenty to twenty to twenty to bottles of bottles of beer,
And if the one of the one of the dollas a dollas happen to happen to fall
It'll be a plick plow plick plow, hunana brick brack to alla yall
I got my chrome protect my dome plus my mask and my mic
I got my own version called the Ghetto Passion of Christ
Niggas feel theyself too much cant smell the shit that youre in
I wanna save all the children but Im pissed like urine
With these telegraphic, tell a spy, tell a lie
Tell the feds the revolution this time will be televised
I keep it funky fuck ya hustla wit a musty hussa
Thats why my O-Gs we be hangin out like rusty mothas
Don dotta dolla found a ground and not a nine-to-five-a
I love you who dont want no more of that baby mamma drama
Haters call me, I hated all who try me yea,
Whether youre bald or youre braided parts
Them hustlas can never fade it, come on
[Chorus #2]
[Verse 3: Krayzie Bone & Bizzy Bone]
[Krayzie]
This life Im livin got me ill its livin like everyday
Im spendin my time preventin my mind from flippin and goin insane
And now that we comin up on these last days, we're livin the fast lane
Its only contributing to my bad ways
This aint even my life, cuz I was supposed to be livin forever
Right here in the flesh and not up in heaven cuz I know God gon make it better.
We runnin around chasin this paper like thats gon save us
We so caught up in tryin to be famous,
Its a shame but can you blame us? cuz
Takin in all of these hard times keep me blind and on mine
Why we dont wanna be like God, but shoot for the stars in the sky
Nigga determined to get rich, Im afraid gon lose they blessings
So the question is: you wanna stay alive, or tryin to be wealthy? but nah
[Bizzy]
What is you talkin about?
Look at these motherfuckas in the streets, walkin around, assed out
Scared of the winter in another abandoned house
They dont know nothin about random outs
See em my pitiful hand is out
Baby girl was ran down
Harmony harmony stand down
Sound off Bone takin the Beverly Hills and round off
Ante up, rubber bands, quicker than you can get an ounce off uh
Back to the real world where the murderin happens.
Its touchin everbody, including the news and the rapping
Why would I babble and wouldnt nobody blastin
Everybody would only be spittin out metaphors put it on Jesse Jackson
And you can just ask him the rappin is real
And you cant turn me down like that Im still your child (put it on)
Pac too I got as much Pac in me as you got in you.
Give em the game, break it down, yall better read the Bible cause
Yall better know who wrote the scriptures, yall better protect your souls
Now the Bone is finally focused,
Pay attention to real talkin
7th Sign, Mo Thug, Thug Line still shinin on em
More than just a ray of hope
You kept your promise
You told me that I could so I did
I started over
Now I discovered things about me
You had created
Shackled by my past
Lord I'm free at last
CHORUS:
Real Life Real Life
Oh, I'm finally living
New Life New Life
Ohhhh yeah!
Real Life Real Life
Oh, I'm finally living
Brand New Life New Life
Ohhhh
I see in the way the sun comes up
I'm starting over
A brand new day this way
Now and forever
Maybe all you need like me
Just had to hear it
Well listen up
Pick yourself up
Begin to live a real life
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
On the cross you died for me
So I could live forever free
And the hope I feel cannot compare
Through your strength I'm movin' on
And my heart is growin' strong
No one else could offer this to me
Real life
I freeze my hands as I close the door
To wait in line so I can wait some more
And it's true what they say about love
Yes it's true what they say about life
And I'm taking it for all it's worth
I watch the numbers register on the postal scale
I think of your hands and calculate
How a man, desired, feels the weight of a letter
It's true what they say about me
That I'm out of my mind but I think that you like it
So take the chance
Be reckless with me
'Cause I'm real life
And you're real life
And we're real life
We're real life
Is it pleasing
Six hundred thousand miles and all this solitude
I know what is pleasing
What I'll find beneath your new pair of glasses
I've never included a name in a song
But I'm changing my ways for you
Jonathan
I need you to know
I need you to know
I was young, he was old
An' we both were the same age
Everyday, playin' fetch
Shakin' hands, he'd lick my face
And I was unaware
The day would come
An' when he died, for the first time
I knew what real pain was
And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began
Senior high, girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break, spend my time
Fillin' out applications
A few superficial years went by
They were all a blur
And in the most unlikely situation
There you were, yeah
And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began
With you, with you
By your side, scared to death
Felt the pain you were fightin'
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name, just keep tryin'
An' then you closed your eyes
An' took one last breath
And when it was over, you looked up
Laid our baby across your breast
And I never was the same again
This one is for my people in the street and six feet baby...
watch yourself kid, the jakes be deep and on the creep now...
what the deal, this ones for my duns thats upstate doin' bids...
stay reppin' Queens with infra-red beams...
[Verse 1]
I only rock with fam'n
plot plannin' niggas that cock cannons
roll with the ox jammin' niggas doin' whole bids in the box standin'
8 niggas thats quick to hop in the van'n
cock glocks and put the drops on the whole block gamblin'
turn it to knots landin'
gun shots got 'em scramblin'
leavin' 4 cops to examine
the streets are frigid so I speak it vivid
sleep it, love it, and live it
if you want one of these slugs I'm'a give it
and pop you 'till you drop liquid
your days are numbered and I'm droppin' the digits
bodies get sent to the chop shop like civics
all for poppin' up on the wrong blocks to visit
the wrong spot to risk it
nothin' but hollow tops in the biscuits
get helicopter lifted out your hot lizards
keep it far from the child shit
.40 cal. spit
runnin' with wild cliques
dead you and beat the murder trial shit
12 valve whips
the strip is scorchin'
flooded with drug enforcement lawmen
strippin' your fortune
shorties are like the statue of liberty, they stay liftin' the torch'n
orphans that spit the fifth often
mad chicks get abortions
weak ones lay stiff in a coffin
federal stakeouts, spots get raided
shots get traded
come in a lock everything rock related
keepin' the cell blocks overly populated
incarcerated scarfaces inoxicated
bodies get operated
some get chopped and faded
leave 'em bleedin' in need for medical aid
for dough metal gets rasied
when shit gets hot it's hard to settle the blaze
the ghetto we praise.
Chorus -
The life you hold
is just like the dice you roll
be careful kid, these streets is ice cold
the thirsty worms out workin' the night patrol
for the price of gold
as the story of our life gets told.
[Verse 2]
How many make it out, it's one in a Million
scared to death 'cause one of your children
just might be the next one to get stretched in front on the building
dumbin' out, pullin' guns out, runnin' wit' villians
livin' in pain, kid in a street gang
trapped in these blocks where the heat flames
where niggas reach for they thang
speak slang, chop your grill until the meat hang
bustin' they gat, runnin' their deep games
look out for the cheap dames that set you up
invite you to the crib to wet you up
lift your necklace up
quick to lift and mess you up
Smith and Wess' you up
never press your luck
be prepared to bust
how many you dare to trust?
keep your friends close and enemies closer
I pour double shots of Remi to toast ya friendly ghost until they send
me over
send some Guinea's to roast ya
if they can't approach ya send me the semi-toasters
give 'em the Kennedy dose and send three in ya boulder
life is about bendin' them slimmy's over
plenty Bentley's and Rovers
half naked Women for Limo chauffers
crib with the Fendi sofa's
black Costa Nostras
crack Jehovas stackin' like Sosa
Taylor made suits with Gucci penny loafers
MAC Tens in holsters for rats and vultures
havin' DT's package and coach us
these raps are vulgar
blow the backs of cobras
roll with the gat exploders, gun slingers
corners and slum hangers
the brick a ton bringers
keep one in the chamber
(marie wilson, marsha malamet, liz vidal)
This ain't no warning
This ain't no countdown
This is the real thing
This is the right now
It's thought provoking
It might sound crazy
But I'm not joking
Hear what I'm saying
Ain't no excuses
Ain't no rehearsals
Don't be so stupid
Don't be so hurtful
Cause what you give out
You're sure to get back
It's gonna come round
Nothing will change that
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Don't be a loser
Don't be mistaken
There is a truth here
That you're not facing
Ain't no pretending
This is your one shot
And in the ending
It's all you got
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Is this how you pictured, yourself to be?
Isn't it time to open your eyes, open your eyes
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
MICHAEL:
Sunlight through the window
Across from your bed
Beauty is still
Can you see it?
What more can you want?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Heartbeats of your children
Asleep in the next room
Trust so still
Can you hear it?
What more can you want?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
MICHAEL AND JONATHAN:
Why do we seek up ecstasy
In all the wrong places?
Why is it hard to see
That heaven can have simpler faces?
MICHAEL:
One breath of an angel
MICHAEL AND SUSAN:
Awake next to you
Love's so still
Can you feel it?
What more do you want?
MICHAEL, JONATHAN AND SUSAN:
Is this real life?
Real life
Is this real life?
Is this real...
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Real life
Is this real life?
Is this real...
Is this real...
Is this...
Is this real life?

more info about them can be found at www.minusdriver.com
Inhuman
you told me not to seek the truth
but it's out there, it's too late,
i've found out you've deceived me
i've learned my lesson, my discretion
is that i want it right now
all this guessing leaves me stressing
the importance of our revolutions
around bad solutions
you are so inhuman
your words are not that useless
you say you have the control
but that is the biggest lie of all
someone told me to seek the truth
and slowly to reveal your plan to
kill us all if this is your lesson
and you're testing me then i won't fall out
and if that's your best, then better yet
you better keep your bad solutions
for your institutions
it's your institutions that make
bad solutions
you are so inhuman
your words are not that useless
you say you have the control
but that is the biggest lie of all
you are so inhuman
your words are not that useless
even when you say you have the control
you told the biggest lie of all
your walls can't keep us inside
no they can't at all
and if that's your best
then better yet you'd better run back home
i'll put up a fight with all might
but you'll still want me gone
i know this will eat you up inside
you know you're gonna fall
you are so inhuman
your words are not that useless
you say you have the control
but that is the biggest lie of all
you are so inhuman
your words are not that useless
even when you say you have the control
you told the biggest lie of all
Sure Thing
is it strange to know
how easily you stopped me?
i've got a reason to blame now
i'll run into the shade with it
i knew you could stop me
but i kind of liked the game
i should have had more self control
and it drives me insane
that there's nothing i can do
about the current situation
and it blows my mind
but that's not what i came for
that's not why i'm here
looking for an answer
has created all my fears
it has put me on the run
i act like i'm having fun
i hide all my insecurities
until i explode
like a gun
like a sure thing fired at the sun
would you run into the grave?
with a gun
with my blood stained hands feeling numb
would you blow it all away?
how did you get here?
i've got to know
i've tried to figure that out
but that's not what i came for
it's not why i'm here
looking for an answer
has created all my fears
until i explode
like a gun
like a sure thing fired at the sun
would you run into the grave?
with a gun
with my blood stained hands feeling numb
would you blow it all away?
like a gun
like a sure thing fired at the sun
would you blow it all away?
what have i become?
self control
letting go
has lost all it's fun
cause there's nothing i can do
about the current situation
and it blows my mind
like a gun
like a sure thing fired at the sun
would you run into the grave?
with a gun
with my blood stained hands feeling numb
would you blow it all away?
like a gun
like a sure thing fired at the sun
would you blow it all away?
Lie To You
i lied
it's not cause i wanted to
trust me without you i'm incomplete
you can have my tongue if i can't
apologize for my stance
i've killed the romance
so i'm standing here to claim
responsibility
cause i lied to you
it's not like i wanted to
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied to you
i lied to you
because i wanted you
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied
i lied
dirty i'll never fall asleep
and you can have my eyes
cause i'll never see you smile
the way i seem to portray
my emotions to you seem like
i don't have a heart
when i lied to you
it's not like i wanted to
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied to you
i lied to you
because i wanted you
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied
i lied
it's not cause i wanted to
it's because i wanted you
it's my fault i'm confused
i'm such a fool
cause i lied
i lied
i lied
when i lied to you
it's not like i wanted to
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied to you
i lied to you
because i wanted you
and every chance i had to tell the truth
i lied
i lied
Light Years
i've watched you
live on your esthetics
your fake tits, they're fake you know
the answer's in the problem
but the question's your soul
until you discover that your comfort
has a price
well you'll be left alone
this you better realize
when the world explodes
you'll be light years away from home
we all get cold if you're cold
if the world explodes
and you're not where you want to go
you're holding on to what's wrong
you're loosening your grip
so we're gonna have to take a trip
it only takes a minute if you want to live
you've got to put your pride down
before it tears your insides out
it only takes a minute to travel worlds away
in a day
when the world explodes
you'll be light years away from home
we all get cold if you're cold
if the world explodes
and you're not where you want to go
you're holding on to what's wrong
take my hand
we'll float away
we'll travel light years away
we'll travel light years
when the world explodes
you'll be light years away from home
we all get cold if you're cold
if the world explodes
and you're not where you want to go
you're holding on to what's wrong
Real Life
you walk by me
and take me over
i will never have control
it never ends when i see you
with a new make over
you had to say you were someone else
it never crossed my mind i wouldn't get it
i'm playing it by the rules you break
that doesn't change my moral taste
i thought you had a reason to defend it
will this be your last remark
it doesn't matter really
cause i'm changing colors
erasing lovers
ok
real life
never ends
so i'll do what i want to do
i have a message for you
it's the beauty of the truth
don't believe what they told you
any more than they can throw you
it's the lesson you learned
and that's the reason you'll burn
it never ends
i'll keep my friends right by my side
and if they are true they'll never lie
it's about time we all start
changing colors
to erase what others say
real life
never ends
so i'll do what i want to do
i have a message for you
it's the beauty of the truth
real life
never ends
so i'll do what i want to do
i have a message for you
where do i begin?
it should have never started out this way
where do i begin?
it never ends
where do i begin?
i need to make my way back to..
real life never ends
so i'll do what i have to do
i have a message for you
it's the beauty of the truth
real life
never ends
so i'll do what i want to do
i have a message for you
it's the beauty of the truth
real life
never ends
so i'll do what i want to do
i have a message for you
real life never ends
i have a message for you
real life never ends, it never ends
i have a message for you
feat. J-Kwon, Tarboy (Trackboyz)
[Ebony Eyez Talking]
Ayo... Tar... you ready?
[Tarboy from Trackboys Talking]
Yeah.uh
[Ebony Eyez]
Let's Do This.
[Chorus - Tarboy]
Look.uh.
Money ain't never move me...
Dawg, this ain't a movie
This is real life, so why you tryin' to do me?
Sit back and relax and think about the past
And make your next move your best, it might be your last
[Chorus - Ebony Eyez]
Look.
Money ain't never move me.
Bitch this ain't a movie
This is real life, so why you tryin' to do me?
Sit back and relax and think about the past
And make your next move your best, it might be your last
[Verse 1: Tarboy]
Look...
Money don't make the man
but still, I understand
if you ain't gettin' dough, what the fuck you in this for?
I see you chasin hoes, and all your fancy clothes
you say you hate the music, then why you at the show?
What all that yappin' mean?
how the fuck that fit the plan?
where the fuck you from homeboy?
you ain't from my land
I see you in the club, in the corner mean-mugged
with all your little thugs, go pop a bottle of bub
and think about it first
and drink away your problems
before a nigga out here on the streets help you solve them
see, I ain't mad at ya
I'm just tryin' to relax you
and teach you somethin' homie, before them killers snatch you
I try to keep it thorough
Keith done been around the world
and never understood how a man could act like a girl
but see I'm just a squirrel
and this is your world
and I wish you the best
so get it off your chest
[Chorus - Tarboy]
[Chorus - Ebony Eyez]
[Verse 2 - Ebony Eyez]
Louie, done made my purse
well, he ain't write this verse
some people put they money first, and don't care who they hurt
always talkin' bout how they: finna do this and finna do that
finna get that new benz and finna buy they girl a cadillac
I try to mind my business, they strike at me with a vengence
don't know I'm young and visicious and know how to throw them fist-es
say I dont keep it real, (what?) say I ain't got the skill
(we) mad cause I got a deal, give a fuck bout how you feel
I represent the streets and that's the way you gotta be
and when my album drop, some people gon' be mad at me
bitches don't wanna listen, don't wanna play position
ain't got a pot to piss in, but they call they self dissin'
your next move should always be your best move
never follow what the rest do, and they'll respect you
Cause money come and go, don't front like you don't know
and when it's all spend up and gone, you ain't got shit to show
[Chorus - Tarboy]
[Chorus - Ebony Eyez]
[Verse 3: J-Kwon]
Now my baby mama hate the fact, now that I'm gettin' scratch
so she go and react, hold up man, matter of a fact
now that I'm thinkin' back, when I ain't had no scratch
no ice, or no 'lac, hold up Kwon rewind it back
now was you gon' react?
that's when I hate the fact, I laid her on her back
(hold up man, don't say that)
nah, let me spit the facts
y'all know I love my son, but she only care about if he got some air force ones
Now ain't that shit dumb? Now where we both come from
Like all your life, you grew up running around spending funds
We was broke as Hammer, t-shirts for pajamas
Cribs small as llamas, eating corn flakes and bananas
Now it's vests and Hummers, we fucked the whole summer
The only reason, cause your man be tryin to take me under
So now I sit and wonder, like I ain't got no clue
And yes it's true, that the money might have moved you
[Chorus - Tarboy]
Stand close to me my little friend
It's so hard to see let's not pretend
There's danger in the night
For you and me
There's men with armalite
Who kill for free
Sirens wailing and I am waiting
For my exploding bullets
Speak so softly now if you speak at all
I think I'm ready now I hear a call
Sirens wailing and I am waiting
For my exploding bullets
But wait a minute
With a fluttering heart
I wait for the men with minds
Like steel traps
Softly singing in time
We've got to get out of here
But listen to the sirens
They haven't been used since the war
But this is the war
Wake up
don't sleep
wake up
don't sleep.
I lay down to rest my head
my soul to keep the night ahead
It's no dream.-
Slumber comes as darkness falls
And Shadows dance across
My walls
it's no dream.
I never sleep alone
My dreams become so real to me.
I unplug the phone
While the night is young.
Catch me
I'm falling down again.
I know it's a dream
But just the same.
There's a face before
My eyes are closed
But I can recognise
The danger there.
Slumber comes and darkness falls
And shadows dance across my walls -
It's no dream.
Well
I never sleep alone
my dreams become so real to me. . ..
Catch me
I'm falling
falling.
Catch me
I'm falling down again.
I know it's a dream but just the same.
Catch me
I'm falling
catch me
I'm falling
Catch me
I'm falling
I'm falling
Catch me
I'm falling
I'm falling
Turn out the light
stay here - always. One endless night near you - always.
We keep it to ourselves about our love affair
If no-one ever knows about it
we don't care.
I fall apart near you always
open up your heart give me - always.
Sometimes I don't even have to call her name
We dont't make promises
it's just a game.
Always never ending
always no pretending
We know our love is forever.
Always never ending always no pretending
we know our love is forever.
Turn out the light
stay here - always. One endless night near you - always.
Sometimes I don't even have to call her name
We don't make promises
it's just a game.
Always never ending
always no pretending
. . .
Always never ending
always no pretending
. . .
Always never ending
always no pretending
Do you believe in heaven above
do you believe in love.
Don't tell a lie
don't be false or untrue
it all comes back to you.
Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love.
My defences are down a kiss or a frown
I can't sunrive on my own.
If a girl walks in and carves her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away.
Everyday we've all been led astray
it's hard to be lucky in love.
It gets in your eyes
it's making you cry
Don't know what to do
don't know what to do.
You're looking for love calling heaven above.
Send me an angel
send me an angel
right now
right now.
Send me an angel
send me an angel
right now
right now.
Empty dreams can only disappoint in a room behind your smile.
But don't give up
don't give up
you can be lucky in love.
It gets in your eyes
it's making you cry
. ..
Send me an angel
send me an angel
right now
right now.
Send me an angel
send me an angel
right now
right now
Life is a game and love is like poison
We live in a world of pleasure and pain
But I am not afraid of these things
I swear to you, I know it's the truth
We won't get caught like this again
Love is an anvil, life is a candle and it burns you
Just when you feel good
Just when you feel fine
Just when you can stand alone
Just when the tears end
Just when the fear ends
Down comes the hammer
Just like the hammer of love
Down comes the hammer
Just like the hammer of love
But I am not afraid of these things
I swear to you, I know it's the truth
Love is an anvil, life is a candle and it burns you
Just when you feel fine
Just when you can stand alone
Just when you feel good
Just when the tears end
Just when the fear ends
Down comes the hammer
Just like the hammer of love
Just like the hammer of loveDown comes the hammer
When you look at me so honestly
and I can't tell just what you see
can I make you feel good
if I make you feel bad
maybe you're the best dream
that I ever had
put your had on your heart
when you tell me a lie
put your lipstick on then put
your lips on mine
you know I'm not perfect
and you know I'm not blind
but wouldn't it be good
if I was God tonight
if I could be God tonight
if I could be God
if I could be God tonight
what are you thinking of
put your had on your heart
when you tell me a lie
put your lipstick on then put
your lips on mine
you know I'm not perfect
and you know I'm not blind
but wouldn't it be good
if I was God tonight
if I could be God tonight
with heaven in my hands
if I could be God tonight
all is calm in the promised land
if I could be God tonight
I'd lay my hands on you
if I could be God tonight
if I could be God
we need a miracle
if I could be God tonight
with heaven in my hands
if I could be God tonight
I'd lay my hands on you
to hell with money
to hell with guns
to hell with poverty
death and drugs
to hell with hell
to hell with hate
to hell with fear
Face to face
so far apart
Looking for the words
but they just won't start.
How can I say that I feel the same? Don't tell me:
three
this is how it starts.
Listen for the sound of the breaking hearts.
I stand in the rain until I hear you say: come back again!
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
Like lovers we start again - face to face.
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
Like lovers we start again - face to face.
Some way
some how I believe
We could make it happen
but it's turning me
Around and around and around again. Don't tell me:
three
this is how it start's. . . .
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
. . .
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
. . .
Children - face to face - and children - face to face -
Don't say I can see your eyes
In shadows again
Mirrors of magic light in the dark
Turn aroung again
Love comes like the winter cold
Turns you upside down
You can get it under control
But love goes again
Slow talk (what does it mean?)
Fast talk (a sign of the times)
Small talk, tall talk
One more disposable scene
Don's say it can read your mind
I know that you are true
So restless but so young
You're not the only one
When you are down so low
Broken again
I'll turn it around in your heart
Don't give it all away
Broken again
Do you believe in heaven above?
Do you believe in love?
Don't tell a lie, don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you
Open fire!
On my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own
If a girl walks in and draws her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up, don't give up
(give up, give up, give up)
You can be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Do you believe in Heaven above?
Do you believe in love?
Don't tell a lie, don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you
Open fire!
On my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own
If a girl walks in and draws her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Every day, we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling Heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up, don't give up
(Give up, give up, give up)
You can be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling Heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Don't walk out openhearted
Dream on in silent night
Don't wake up unguarded
In love hold on tight
Unfolding your life
So young golden teens
You only have time for love
Or so it seems
Sad day she stays openhearted
She plays she stays openhearted
Sleep on stranger in your arms
Unfolding night have no fear
From me tonight
Crash landing your heart
So loud no one hears
You crying no sound
There's no magic
That can take your place
No make believe
To change your life
If burning bridges fall
On all we know
Once in a lifetime
I say let them fall
I confess
There's no second chance
That if you close your eyes
What you see is what you get
I know for sure
To understand
Everything changes
Oh, oh
So let's stop playing strangers
Turn away, don't turn away
No shame, no shame
It's no shame, no shame
No sense, no feeling
If burning bridges fall on all we know
If you touch my skin
No promises I know my way
Everything changes
So let's stop playing strangers
I say let them fall
Oh, oh
Turn away, don't turn away
It's no shame, no shame
Upside Down and up in the air
She don't mind and I don't care
Out of sight and out of control
I did what I did for rock and roll
8 Miles high and getting higher
She's in flames and I'm on Fire
I don't know but I could guess
We're Sending out an S.O.S
Can't not hurt me
Got no Control
And if there's no tomorrow
Don't live in all your sorrow
On your own
Don't make it so hard
And never stop believing
Can't you tell
I know it's just a feeling
It's your foolish heart
give it all
You know I won't let you fall
Take a chance
I don't mind at all
And if you stay
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Oh oh oh
Let's fall, let's fall in love
When all you need is holding
Whenever you are calling
I won't let you fall
Talk to me
And if it's all confusion
There's only one solution
Just fall in love
Oh oh oh
give it all
And if you stay
You know I won't let you fall
Take a chance
I don't mind at all
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Oh oh oh
I will be yours
You will be mine
One blind love
Comes falling out of me
Leaving me cold again
I could give you a lie
Feels like rain
And say we were never meant to be
Just to make you cry
And do what you do to me
And without love we could try
But oh, oh, oh, oh
Who said that love was easy
Don't they know
Love's not easy at all
It's hard for us all
Happy endings don't come easy
Don't you know
Stupid blind love
When will we ever learn
I know I can learn again
Only by your side
And without love we could try
But oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't they know
Who said that love was easy
It's hard for us all
Happy endings don't come easy
Don't you know
It's not the thought of leaving you
That brings the tears to my eyes
I walked alone I let the days go by
Under your blood red skies
With all the things that make a future
I wrote my name in your past
Brave young lions stand together
But setting suns don't ever last
Don't say that I abandon you
Don't say that I never tried
I walk along like a stateless man
So far from home
Heartland burning sand shining through
Heartland don't let them crucify you
When all the wars are over
And all the words have turned to sand
You will live forever
A silent wonder land
Don't say that I abandon you
Don't say that I never cried
I walk along like a stateless man
So far from home
Heartland burning sand shining through
Where Bubba Grew Up, Kept his tobacco chewed up,
And when they used to hang ropes, they always kep two up,
Had crosses burnin all night like the church blew up,
And if you didnt look like them, they would fuck you up.
Time passed, and Bubba turned 40 years old,
And all them Jack Daniels started taking a toll,
Seem like Bubba was about to make a final bow,
None of his friends from the clan couldnt help him now.
Family gathered at his bedside, ready to sing the blues,
When the doctor rushed in and said "Ive got some news!"
"The good news is, Bubba, Ive found you a liver, only bad news is, it belongs to a Nigger"
Do you still care, about the texture of his hair or the cocoa brown colour of his skin,
Do you still care, do you still give a damn now you're in the predicament you're in,
Do you still care, does it still mean a lot now,
You're the one who's needin the help,
Do you still care, do you still find it hard to love your neighbour as you love yourself now,
Tell me why cant you accept me as I am,
Just as I am now.
Where Bigga grew up, boys were supposed to be tough,
Girls were trophies every man always kept a few of,
When he was hurt and the tears would sting in his eyes,
His mother said "Stop di noise, yuh a girl? real boys dont cry!"
He learned in order to be a man he had to know how to fight,
And had some very difinitive rules bout whats wrong or right,
He never had the luxury of being able to choose,
So to him for being different, there was no excuse.
Bigga was hustling on the corner, makin some cash,
When he bumped into some beef that he had from the past,
He watched the guns raise and the bullets fly in disbelief,
As his friends all jumped in their rides,
Left him in the gutter didnt care if he died,
He was rescued by a car with plates that said 'Gay Pride',
It would have been fatal,
A shot in your head,
They saved your life, though you always said "Chi-chi fi dead!"
Now do you care, bout the clothes that they wear,
Would you rather if they left you there,
Do you still care what your friends wanna think if they see you hangin out with a queer,
Do you still care, does it still mean a lot now, you're the one who's needin the help,
Do you still care, do you still find it hard to love your neighbour as you love yourself now,
Tell me why cant you accept me as I am,
Just as I am now.
And thats the reason why, war cant cease,
If yuh nuh look like me, me ago pop mi piece,
And thats the reason why we cant get along,
If yuh nuh do it my way then you doin it wrong,
And thats the reason why, Iraqui babies gonna cry,
And more Palestinians and Isrealies gonna die,
Thats the reason why the world is in pain,
We say we want peace fi reign, but a bullets again,
Now tell me why cant you accept me as I am,
Just the way I am now,
Tell me why cant you accept me as I am,
When you stay at home fighting your own worst enemy
Will you win or lose you choose
Every inch a soldier soldier
Military men in high heel shoes
Safe not safe streets for walking
Children talking discipline
I can't take anymore
As we fall helpless to the floor
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
Is anyone there
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
In a playground battlefield
Justify (justify) just to simplyfy (simplify)
Ah we all we all we all bleeding bleeding babies
So you laugh laugh laugh
As you build a fire
The mirror cracks, no no not so fast
Slow down waiting for that fatal sound
Survive we must survive
Be prepared and don't get caught in the lions lair
A battle circus, an army of clowns
A battle cry how does it sound
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
Is anyone there
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
In a playground battlefield
Justify (justify) just to simplyfy (simplify)
Ah we all we all we all bleeding bleeding babies
So you're on the frontline sipping wine
Sipping German wine from crystal steel
Last suppers being served too soon
Soon I'm gonna need another meal
a new deal
Feast feast feast on final scraps
Perhaps the banquets at an end
High tech on the lower deck shipwreck
Children shall we do it again
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
Is anyone there
Are we all we all we all bleeding babies
In a playground battlefield
Justify (justify) just to simplyfy (simplify)
And if there's no tomorrow
Don't live in all your sorrow
On your own
Don't make it so hard
And never stop believing
Can't you tell
I know it's just a feeling
It's your foolish heart
give it all
You know I won't let you fall
Take a chance
I don't mind at all
And if you stay
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Oh oh oh
Let's fall, let's fall in love
When all you need is holding
Whenever you are calling
I won't let you fall
Talk to me
And if it's all confusion
There's only one solution
Just fall in love
Oh oh oh
give it all
And if you stay
You know I won't let you fall
Take a chance
I don't mind at all
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Let's fall, let's fall in love
Oh oh oh
I will be yours
You will be mine
So...
So you found somebody new
Will he make your dreams come true
Or will he break your heart in two?
I...
Won't let you see me cry
This love will never die
Always burning blue
And the wind...
That rages in my heart
It fans a flame
That burns as cold as ice
Burning blue
Now...
Now it's all been said and done
And you've only just begun
When it's time to turn and run
I...
Don't need to see you cry
This love will never die
Always burning blue
But the wind...
That rages in my heart
It fans a flame
That burns as cold as ice
Burning blue
Burning blue
Burning blue
Always burning blue...
Burning blue
Burning blue
Always burning blue...
And the wind...
That rages in my heart
It fans a flame
That burns as cold as ice
Burning blue
Burning blue
Burning blue
Always burning blue...
Burning blue
Burning blue
I can smile so easy and breakdown inside
I won't let emotion bring me down this time
It used to be so easy to be in love with you
I'll never understand but that's nothing new
Our love reached the breaking point
Where do we go from here
Get out at the breaking point
Save all those tears
For you I make excuses for you I find the time
Just look the other way and break down inside
In a comedy of heartache now it's time for fools
I'll never understand how to break the rules
There's nothing wrong
This is nothing new to me
All things must have endings
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away.
I was looking for a home,
I was looking for a home.
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away
Trouble was, I was alone,
Trouble was, I was alone.
You might think I'm still that way,
It's only natural
It was a past life thing-
It was a past life thing-
It wasn't anything at all.
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away.
I was looking for a road
I was looking for a road.
For a minute I was lost,
I looked away
My destination was unknown,
My destination was unknown.
My destination was unknown,
My destination was unknown.
You might think I'm still that way,
It's only natural
It was a past life thing-
It was a past life thing-
It wasn't anything at all.
Mes aloha (?)
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Mes aloha
Oh oh oh oh!
You might think I'm still that way,
It's only natural
It was a past life thing-
It was a past life thing-
It wasn't anything at all.
Underrated, overstated real life.
Integrated, that's all right, just realize.
Exploited, ain't so jaded real life.
Dressed as conscience, masquerading.
I hope you noticed when I said it's not OK, and I know you're ready.
Into the rip, I'm heading out again.
Over my head, I can't get out of it.
Dial'n up, you know this story.
Turn your head the other way. Into the rip, I'm heading out again.
Over my head, I can't get out of it.
Underrated, overstated real life.
Integrated, that's all right, just realize.
Exploited, ain't so jaded real life.
Dressed as conscience, masquerading.
All those backward thoughts you're having,
Got the low down sussed, evacuate.
The golden bus is running late.
Into the rip, I'm heading out again.
Over my head, I can't get out of it.
Firing line, firing line, firing line.
I realize real life.
And I hope you notice when I said it's not OK.
Those backward thoughts you're having, with the low down sussed, evacuate.
knew a man who always worried
That if knocked down by a nineteen,
The nurses who to help had hurried
Might find his boxer shorts unclean.
And so he washed them all twice daily,
And when an accident occurred,
The doctor said sadly, "I know what he has.
The poor man is dead. He’s allergic to Daz."
Cos this is real life,
Which is always such a mess,
Badly designed, under-rehearsed, no proper tunes.
We live in real life,
Which is not a nice address,
Needs doing up, needs some white paint, needs a few
balloons.
Life is a fan club and I’m not a fan.
Life is a bran tub, no prizes, just bran …
Take one redundant bus inspector,
Who joined the long term unemployed,
Applied to funeral director,
Was taken on, was overjoyed.
He felt, as death is always with us,
This job at least would be secure.
He shouldered the coffin, the sun on his back.
The boss saw him smiling and gave him the sack.
Cos this is real life,
And we’re not allowed to swap,
Hoping to find one with more plot, one with more sex.
We visit real life,
And we blunder round the shop,
Squinting at lists, losing our purse, dropping our
specs.
Life is a handshake that’s clammy and limp.
A scene from a script that’s been typed by a chimp.
A sweet old couple had a party,
Cos they’d been married sixty years,
Sat hand in hand and hale and hearty.
The local press were all in tears.
The woman from the news said, ‘Ivy,
What’s helped your marriage last so well?’
She looked at her husband and said with a wink,
‘Regular sex with the coalman, I think.’
Cos this is real life,
