Go Ahead, you know you want it
You'll have no other way you just want to take us down

Oh oh oh, you want to get it
You make us bleed, it'll prove there's life somewhere
And oh, no, I want to yell it
but do we speak or are we just nodding our heads
No way, not me, what you got,

no way, not me, what you got,
it's not for me
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Don't reach too far
You will fall over (we see right through it)
Don't be surprised what you discover (you get what you give)
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under (you get what you give)
You better watch out, run for cover
Go ahead, I'll be your junkie
I'll be deplete you can heap all rubbish here
Go ahead, now dump it on me
if I go quiet will the itch go down with me
Oh oh oh, you got to get it
nevermind that it was never there nowhere
but oh, no, not for a minute
for now you'll make your bed
and it will wait, I swear
No way, not me, what you got,
it's not for me, but you'll find a way
no way not me, what you got,
it's not for me
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover

Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Don't reach too far
You will fall over (we see right through it)
Don't be surprised what you discover (you get what you give)
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under (you get what you give)
You better watch out, run for cover

0-0-7 mission and it's just one day
I marked my position then I ran away
Got these boots made for walking and some pepper spray
My two guns in my pocket 'cause it's brick today
I said, Hey, Mrs. Parker,
Can I get your spot?
The block's too hot, no parking lot
The joker cops, they ticket, take my cash
The boys on the block got eyes for my ass
I got to be unstoppable
I got to be unstoppable
Ey-ey-ey-ey!
You don't lie
Ey-ey-ey-ey!
You don't lie
I got to be unstoppable

Last stop Franklin smell it makes me sick
Got my street vision on, I don't see shit
And still I stay fresh I spend the top dollar
'Cause on my block the knockoffs are fiyah
Meet me at the J where they got the Domino game locked
Boy cross the street with tight pants on
Get your hipster ass on down to the Beacon
I fly right past him, don't take my mask off
I got to be unstoppable
I got to be unstoppable
Ey-ey-ey-ey!

Make you lose your place,
Tell me I-I-I can play
So I speed up the pace

You can't stop me in this race
I got to be unstoppable

This time, Explain I'll comfort
I saw you standing
And I am by your cage
I think you should wait now
I can hear you calling
I'm reaching you my hand
I can hear you now
I can hear you calling
[Hook]
And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't you calm down?
Won't you calm down?
And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey now
Won't you calm down?
Won't you calm down?
This isn't our parade
This time all we heard
Forever blending
I bridled all my rage
You won't make me buy that
And I hear you calling
No you won't understand
But I'm near you now
I can see you falling
[Hook]
Hey hey hey hey ya
Hey hey hey hey ya
[Hook]
I walk by with smoke in my eyes
Like we don't know where we've been
That's it boy, just state your case
You're just as wrong as you were then
Want to move? Throw your hands up
Say I don't make no rules
No one even knows I'm here
Now it's all you to man up
You see no way to hang on what you say
[Hook:]
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning down (Down now keepers, down)
Our house is burning down
Ask me why, dream that you buy
But later want is a dangerous thing
Watch out for the snakes ride past
And turns around and it sucks you in
What happens when you get stuck?
Get to the bottom of the illusion that you're in
From the roof now, it's your go
No one else without will do you in
[Hook]
And not a thing I've done obeys my fear
And not a thing I've done obeys
And still I never have to run
We are gone, we are gone
On our hills where we all are done
Do it again
And I'll see you tomorrow
I want to get it
You've got something to borrow
Give me, give me you right on my own
And when I see you all again
I buy it but it don't measure up
What is the missing ingredient?
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
Under the skin
It's not so easy to swallow
Don't reel me in
To find my dreams are so hollow
What is it you got I don't get
I watch you fumbling again
Look dreamy behind your cigarette
Know it ain't true now
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
We all find new ways being so unhuman
Try and get two heads you are unhuman
Start trying
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
Brooklyn we go hard
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard
And if we seem to rough it up a bit
We broke but we rich at heart
Pull ourselves up now we won't choke
It's our time, put the lights on us
War tactics they make me sick
reel your heart in run away with it
Smile in your face, undermine your back
got guns for the strength they lack
So if you know another way
you can't look the other way
if you know another way,
tell them so right to their face
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
Ay, ay, ay
I pay for what's called
eccentricity and my will to evolve
I hear them all say
that I got heart
but not everything that it takes
Taint my mind but not my soul
Tell you I got fire
I wont sell it for no payroll
Let 'em hold me down
I know if I know another way
I can't look the other way
I know another way
I'll tell them so right to their face
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Ay, ay, ay
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Ay, ay, ay
[Spank Rock]
Entirely, totally
Bring it all together, I want everything
If it's in the spills they had gossip that meant
We can't be poor folks waiting on a trickle with your hands out
I got a life that you can call a luck because it was a duty
You don't mean I ain't payin' dues, you stupid fuck
I'm more of a mind for reaching things that you can't
Just know I'm doing something you ain't, simple and plain
[Santigold]
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke shove your hope where it don't shine
Ay, ay, ay

Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Say Aha, Aha!
Say Aha, Aha!
At night it's eating up your head backed against a wall
Got you in a tight place though you're not alone at all
Been fighting, trying to place a name on what it's called
Make you feel like a losing streak 'cause you know but you're not involved
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Say Aha, Aha!
Say Aha, Aha!
It's alright cause everything they say doesn't make no sense
It's that time, I'm picking up my ass up from off the fence
Gonna blow a hole in this parade, it's self-defense
I'm a army, got a whole brigade in my two cents
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Say Aha, Aha!
Say Aha, Aha!
ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh
ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh
Send in your torpedoes for all they know
make a show, shake them up before you blow
'Cause they don't want no cure, no
You'd better find a way, their aim's not pure
Uh, ha
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Louder than they, louder than they, louder than they allow-low
Say Aha, Aha!
Say Aha, Aha!

Tellin' me you got much to loose
'Til you're ruthless with you're life
Come in the dark and pillage right through
Don't let 'em take you like the buccaneers do
Right though the heart
They'll tear you in two
Then ride the vessel that they turn you into
While you're burnin' away
The thing's goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
While you're burnin' away
The thing's goin' down
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Well you're a liar and your cues are all wrong

I watch you capture what I can't hold
Now make it make some sense to me
You are, you are my
You are, you are my
You are, you are my superman
Hey, hey
You got to live, you got to live, you got to live
Make it fly, bless your soul
You get by, take me along
But all the static here, it's tearing you apart
You can't help the way you, you, you, you
You are, you are my
You are, you are my
You are, you are my superman
You, you, you, you can't wait
Say walk, walk, walk on now (hey)
You know you saved me
Don't, don't, don't go hand down
You are, you are my
You are, you are my
You are, you are my superman
Hey, hey
You got to live, you got to live, you got to live
Hey, hey

Lights out, shoot up the station
TV's dead where's there to run
Watch everybody come undone
Lights out, we'll make it easy
We'll make it fun
Won't let them see now, how they had won
Still I wait another round
Darling
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darling (Just ignore the shock, just like me)
Don't got to worry turn out the light
(you gotta shake it like you thinking like it's strictly poison)
Wiped out, no concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form
Wiped out, they could see me
That's what I want
A casualty but, I am upfront
And I know what it's about
Darling
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darling (Just ignore the shock, just like me)
Don't got to worry turn out the light
(you gotta shake it like you thinking like it's strictly poison)
I'm still a shaking my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run
Darling
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darling (Just ignore the shock just like me)
Don't got to worry turn out the light

What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm tryin to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down just leave me out you name dropper
Stop tryin to catch my eye I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy you're my enemy you fast talker
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
I do know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly I found myself an innovator
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this
something worth dreaming of
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up

Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I've got some money I was saving
Got some hearts that I'll be breaking
Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don't yet
Ooh, oh, look so pretty now
You're just so sweet
Let's see how far you can get
See just how far you can get
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Dreams are gone
And the dreams are gone
No one said, no
No one said
Make something with what's in your head
And the dreams are gone
And the dreams are gone
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
You can make it alone if you try
Til' the beat come home
I know you'll sing it
You can make it alone if you try
They never see your fire
Til' you make it out
Well are you with them, if not let it go
You're either going to rock the boat,
Or have what they're handing out
Now you're somewhere remote
They think you got a wire broke
But what you hashing up?
Something that you wrote
Is going to make a good lifeboat
Asylum for the torn
A rumbling below
Said if not now you'll never go
So while we wait it out
(2x)You can make it alone if you try
Til' the beat come home
I know you'll sing it
You can make it alone if you try
They never see your fire
Til' you make it out
It's what you know
But you can't tell a soul
Just where it is you let it go
For fear they'll turn it sour
You can see through the smoke
And though you know
That something's broke
You're holding on for now
Aiming for the mark
How is it that your scars light up
like flashlights in the dark
Leading with the heart
You know your battle from the start
Don't let it wear you down
(2x)You can make it alone if you try
Til' the beat come home
I know you'll sing it
You can make it alone if you try
They never see your fire
Til' you make it out
For now you leave them alone
Ah, they'll see on their own
Ya ya yo
Out on your own, out on your own
Ya ya yo
And you're going
Now you now you'll go
(4x)You can make it alone if you try
Til' the beat come home
I know you'll sing it
You can make it alone if you try
They never see your fire
[Chorus]
People want my power,
And they want more station,
Stormed my winter palace,
But they couldn’t take it!
All the way to Paris,
Run my reputation,
Try to pull my status,
But they couldn’t fake it!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Trying to put a bullet on you guys won’t go,
…. Looking for your ticket, the less will go,
..but your guys won’t go!
Man, you look on, you look on your race,
But I’m too gone, I’ too gone…
When you get on, you get on, you shake it!
Man, took on, took on, too much don’t blow!
[Chorus]
People want my power,
And they want more station,
Stormed my winter palace,
But they couldn’t take it!
All the way to Paris,
Run my reputation,
Try to pull my status,
But they couldn’t fake it!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Can I get a witness, closer look,
Everybody …
And you could be the widget to my turbo,
Let me see your status on a closer look,
Do you forget, forget the basics?
On a … you must go search,
And it’s too far; it’s too far the basis,
But you’re slipping, you’re sliding,
Can make it go!
[Chorus]
People want my power,
And they want more station,
Stormed my winter palace,
But they couldn’t take it!
All the way to Paris,
Run my reputation,
Try to pull my status,
But they couldn’t fake it!
How hard we found
Another instrument to crash you,
Crash you, crash you!
I need another instrument to crash you
Crash you, crash you!
I need, crash you!
Ha, ha, ha, crash you!
[Chorus]
People want my power,
And they want more station,
Stormed my winter palace,
But they couldn’t take it!
All the way to Paris,
Run my reputation,
Try to pull my status,
We ain't got no name. No, we ain't got no name.
We're rough I understand 'cause there's status here to claim.
Want it in my hand. Don't want it in my head.
Searching for a win and the battle's on the way.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle make you low.
Say I want, say I want. What I want they'll never know.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle make you low.
All or none. All or none. All I got will make you go.
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
We don't want the fame. We don't want the fame.
We don't got no shame. No, we don't got no shame.
And look we got a plan, say we never play that game.
Keep our eyes in the sand so our hearts can't be mislead.
We're herd in through their lane, holding close to what we said.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle get you low.
Here it come. Hold it tight. Somehow we still let it go.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle get you low.
No, I don't want. No, I don't want. Maybe just a little blow.
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
We don't want the fame. We don't want the fame.
Oh, we really want the same you and I down low. Oh, we really want the fame fame!
Oh, we really want the same you and I how low. Low, are we gon' go for fame fame!
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
Don't look ahead there's stormy weather
Another road block in our way
But if we go, we go together
Our hands are tied here if we stay
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
How to win what they all lost
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know now we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
So let them say we can't do better
Lay out the rules that we can't break
They want to sit and watch it wither
Their legacy's too hard to take
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
How to win what they all lost
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know now we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
In their heads, hedging their bets, in their eyes it shows
When the beacon breaks, what then you ask and they don't know
Oh tell me that I turn my back, well, the odds all stand beneath me
And they all said I was misled, but now the odds all stand beneath me
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
They're frozen to the core
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
How to win what they all lost
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Sit tight I know what you are
mad bright but you aint no star
polish up til you make it gleam
your M.O, I know what you mean
Tail ridin' and I know it's true
while they screamin' I love you
Down deep you know there aint no flow
a soul decay, was D.O.A
I know what you here for now
Words out you're an idea whore though,
now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
whether or not you know it's true
You're who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
fakin' what you wish you had
Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
you should heed the warning, get a body guard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin' in just like an itch
so far I got the last laugh
still the rich rise up, still I live fast
wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
on the grind til the gig is up
Im 'a smash 'em down
tic tac toc that's he not stop
tip-toe don't make you rock
what they say long long what you know i got
bla bla against the wall
so pee-wee cyber tall

My name is Anne, I got a plan
I may lack virtue but I'm penitent
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
To lose my mind it's never easy
A shadow still there's weight to me
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes, the more it takes
J, j, jesus pieces
My name is Anne, I'll take a stand
I'll hold my head up dig on in
Ah-oooooooh
You can bait me for the hell of it
I'll take it for the hell of it
See it there but it's too far ahead
Go numb from how bad I want it
See it there but it's too far ahead
And I hear you calling to me right from here
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
the more I try

J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes, the more it takes

I want to hear your voice
And I won't say
That it's bad when you're far
I want to hear your voice
And I won't say
That I cry when you're gone
I wonder why you are so cold
Why you are so cold
When I know you're on fire
I want to hear your voice and I won't say
That maybe we'll never end up
That maybe we'll never end up
Where you've been now
Does it render you so different
'Cause baby I don't know
What I'll do if you don't want to be here no more
Do you stay, I don't know
But I just want to
I want to hear your voice again
So are you coming, are you coming
Come back to me
I want to be
Where you lay down your robe
But maybe we'll never end up
But maybe we'll never end up
And I won't run out in your way
When you head back home
And I'm gonna heed my mind
Just nod my head
I'm 'a leave you to what you know
And maybe we'll never end up
And maybe we'll never end up
But maybe we'll never end up
You run, run, run
You run, run, run
You run, run, run
You run, run, run
I want to hear your voice
Come back to me
I want to be
Where you lay down your robe
I say
Freak like me, freak like me
You a freak like me freak-freak like me-me
Freak like me, freak like me
You a freak like me, freak like me
Freak like me, freak like me
You a freak like me, freak-freak like me
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la)
Freak like me, freak like me, you a freak like me
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la)
You a freak like me, freak like-like me
Freak like me, freak-freak like me
Sitting pretty on the top watching all you wantin' money
Do you know where you give up, when you fear my voice on TV
Got money, money, money goes, turn it up and turn it down
Coming out with nothin' ooh, tell me when you hit the ground
Just this once I let you go, 'fore you walk you pass the ground
And you don't know, oh no no you don't know
What you want you'll never stop, guess that means you made it honey
You're famous for what? It matters more that
You look good in Photoshop, you're still tan when it's not sunny
Keep flyin' higher,? as a tiger
It's funny, funny, funny though, now we buy it by the pound
Comes another puppy ooh, give a smile and turn around
How far will you let it go, it's a game of pleasure now
And you don't know, oh no no you don't know
If you will, there's no need then to lay down
Run around, around, around, around the block
Run around, around and bring, bring
Run around, around, around, around the block
Run around, around and bring, bring me
Run around, around, around, around the block
if you get me going count me in i wanna play
Meet me on the phone, come get me on the way
Got you down town since some people and parlay
If you got no boys, might be your lucky day
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
Who be the queen of the ball
I roll true, let it shock all of yall
I know shit like a fly on the wall
So legit, I dont quit when I fall
I be there first at where that action is
Dont matter who or what, say where it's at and when it is
Right now Im slippin for my waitin this is how I live
In any instance, we are young, we get away with it
In any instance, we are young, we get away with it
We are girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls,
We are girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
Here we are, all tryina make it ends meet
Got no cash, got no money but we runnin the streets
I can call my shots, telling what is what
Can it be obviously Im fucked up
Got charm that counts but I aint easy
If you aint reckless then you aint with me
In the meantime keep your illusion short
Where I sit you play dumb is a sport
Im the rack competition to my enemies
Im the trouble army, on my way to see you
Im the best who can make a mess of something sweet
Im a fighter so I know that I wont retreat
Im a stunner if you wanna for a good time call
And the cat's meow, ain't afraid of y'all
Im a winner though I am not afraid of defeat
all my girls make up an army knock em dead off their feet
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
Run around, around, around, around the block
Run around, around and bring, bring
Run around, around, around, around the block
Run around, around and bring, bring
Run around, around, around, around the block
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
You can't disappear anymore
I see your face lurking outside the window
You say you're a trife, I'm a bore
You touch yourself, put your face in the pillow,
But the funny thing about you is,
You remembered to leave it behind.
The funny thing about me is,
I'm a member of the right brigade.
Makes no difference to me what side you choose, what side
will lose
All their is to perceive is what I want
And I know how how to get it.
But the funny thing about you is,
You remembered to leave it behind.
The funny thing about me is,

May I see your driver's license please?

May I see your driver's license please?

Thick bitch, long hair, yellow, white, red, brown

And I don't need a scale for the work

Hustle mean hard work, hard work

Man, this rap shit is easy
Every beat I get, I murk

[Santigold:]
Day and night
Realize I won't be easy
Got no light
A job, a wife that's easy
Always standing in the door
Always the same reason you're stuck
No guts, no guts
What will you get it up for?
What will you get it up for?
Harder, you're still stuck in the mire
What will make you want it more?
What will make you want it more?
Harder, get more bang for your dollar
[M.I.A.:]
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Get it up, you can get it up
Sometimes I think I harden
When I feel I get fucked up
Yeah, other times I think I harden
When I feel I get spat out
Yeah, I don't really know what you're thinking
But I already know what you are
And this is what makes us harden
In this concrete life we got
I break 'em in like shoes and my new jeans
I throw it in like a spanner in your work pen
I watch you want more, curious to dirty things
And make it swing from being slick to new things
I break 'em in like shoes and my new jeans
I throw it in like a spanner in your work pen
I watch you want more, curious to dirty things
And make it swing from being slick to new things
Get it up

Rewind
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row?
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
The money feels good
And your life, you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brooklyn sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brooklyn sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Or even shoot us but
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
Oh, the guns of Brooklyn
outside, they're taking all bets
i'm backing around, i'm losing again
but i, i will find a life in it
it's there in the crowd, but i can name it
takes time, it's rough
i'm never enough
i grow my dreams too bold
i'm tumbling down
all ways i keep on falling
in too deep, far and away, oh
oh, down, down, down
i hear it calling
always seems to get away, anyway
can't measure up to it yet
i set it up higher than i can reach it
so i, i run round as what i create
entangle myself in the mess that i make
takes time, it's rough
i'm never enough
i grow my dreams too bold
i'm tumbling down
all ways i keep on falling
in too deep, far and away, oh
oh, down, down, down
i hear it calling
always seems to get away, anyway
i know i'm reading my own end
i know i knew what i said
it wasn't me and all i did
it was just words instead
then when i follow where it lead (now i see it, i know)
to yet another dead end (now when i see it, i know)
don't know i see it right ahead (now i see it, i know)
its little light where i step
down, all ways i keep on falling
in too deep, far and away, oh
oh, down, down, down
i hear it calling
always seems to get away, anyway
down, all ways i keep on falling
in too deep, far and away, oh
oh, down, down, down
i hear it calling
I walk blind with smoke in my eyes
It's like we don't know where we been
That's it, boy, just state your case
You're just as wrong as you were then
One tough move throw your hands up
Say I don't make no rules
No one even knows I'm here
Now its on you to man up
You say no weight'll hang on what you say
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
Down, down it burns down
Our house is burning down
Ask me why a dream gets you by
But let it want, turns a dangerous thing
Watch out for it, it snakes right past
Then turns around and it sucks you in
What happens when you get stuck
Get to the bottom of the illusion that you're in
From the roots now it's shook up
Know that what ails without will do you in
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
Down, down it burns down
Our house is burning down
And not a thing I've done
Abates my fear
And not a thing I've done
Abates my fear
And still although our hearts can't run
We are gone
We are gone
On the heels of all we have done, know
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
We're the keepers
While we sleep in America
Our house is burning down
Our house is burning
Down, down it burns down
I've been looking for a fight
All the trouble that I know
Trying to lose the world inside
But it's got no place to go
Oh, I'm only dangerous
At the whim of my command
I've been searching for an angle
For a cause I can defend
Oh, take me home, let me go all day
Just be here 'til I know
'Til I know that the riot's gone
The riot's gone away
I've been haunted all my life
On the brink of something close
People know that I write
Know I'm grappling with a ghost
Oh, I'm only dangerous
And I'm deafened by the fright
Waiting for the day I'm able
And I said it all this way
Oh, take me home, let me go all day
Just be here 'til I know
'Til I know that the riot's gone
