Allen Ezail Iverson (born June 7, 1975) is an American professional basketball player, playing both the point guard and shooting guard positions. Iverson attended Bethel High School and was a dual-sport athlete; he earned The Associated Press High School Player of the Year award in both football and basketball, and won the Division AAA Virginia State Championship in both sports. After high school, Iverson attended Georgetown University for two years, where he set the school record for career scoring average (22.9 points per game) and won Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards both years.
Following two successful years at Georgetown, Iverson declared eligibility for the 1996 NBA Draft, and was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the number one pick. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1996–97 season. Iverson is an eleven-time NBA All-Star which includes winning the All-Star MVP award in 2001 and 2005.
Winning the NBA scoring title during the 1998–99, 2000–01, 2001–02 and 2004–05 seasons, Iverson was one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, despite his small stature (listed at 6 feet, 0 inches). His regular season career scoring average of 26.7 points per game ranks sixth all-time, and his playoff career scoring average of 29.7 points per game is second only to Michael Jordan. Iverson was also the NBA Most Valuable Player of the 2000–01 season and led his team to the 2001 NBA Finals the same season. Iverson represented the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal. He also played for the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons and the Memphis Grizzlies, before returning to the 76ers for part of the 2009–10 season.
Del Shannon (December 30, 1934 – February 8, 1990) was an American rock and roll singer-songwriter who had a No. 1 hit, "Runaway", in 1961.
Del Shannon was born Charles Weedon Westover in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He grew up in Coopersville, a small town near Grand Rapids. There he learned ukulele and guitar and listened to country and western music, including Hank Williams, Hank Snow, and Lefty Frizzell. He was drafted into the Army in 1954, and while in Germany played guitar in a band called The Cool Flames.
When his service ended, he returned to Battle Creek, Michigan, and worked in a furniture factory as a truck driver and selling carpets. He also found part-time work as a rhythm guitarist in singer Doug DeMott's group, working at the Hi-Lo Club. When DeMott was fired in 1958, Westover took over as leader and singer, giving himself the name Charlie Johnson and renaming his band The Big Little Show Band.
In early 1959 he added keyboardist Max Crook, who played the Musitron (his own invention of an early synthesizer). Crook had made recordings, and he persuaded Ann Arbor disc jockey Ollie McLaughlin to hear the band. McLaughlin took the group's demos to Harry Balk and Irving Micahnik of Talent Artists in Detroit. In July 1960, Westover and Crook signed to become recording artists and composers on the Bigtop label. Balk suggested Westover use a new name, and they came up with "Del Shannon", combining Shannon Kavanagh with Del, derived from the Cadillac Coupe de Ville, his favorite car.
Aloe Blacc (born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III; January 7, 1979) is an American soul singer, rapper and musician. He is married to Australian rapper Maya Jupiter.
Blacc was born in Orange County, California to Panamanian parents. He began his music career in 1995 as a rapper in the hip hop duo Emanon with producer Exile.
By the late 1990s, Blacc was part of the duo Emanon and joined the group Lootpack on tour in Europe. The duo released six albums. This led to Blacc working with the French Jazz group Jazz Liberatorz. He released an album at the end of the 1990s.
In 2003, Blacc signed with Stones Throw Records and began a solo career. On July 11, 2006, he released his first LP album, Shine Through, on CD, vinyl record and online (on the Stones Throw website).
He then toured across Europe and the U.S. with Emanon, while working on his second solo album.
In 2009, Blacc collaborated with the Japanese hip hop producer Cradle. They called themselves Bee.
In 2010, Blacc released his second album, Good Things, on Stones Throw records. The album was produced by Jeff Dynamite and Leon Michels for Truth & Soul Productions.
John Ford Coley (born October 13, 1951) is a singer, classically trained pianist, guitarist, actor, and author most known for his partnership in the musical duo England Dan & John Ford Coley.
John Ford Coley was born John Edward Colley in Dallas, Texas. He grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry, early rock and roll, singing church hymns and was trained as a classical pianist. At 16, while at W.W. Samuell High School in Dallas, John along with fellow schoolmate Dan Seals joined the group "Theze Few" which later became "The Southwest FOB" (Freight On Board) and toured the Texas music scene where they had one hit "The Smell of Incense" that in 1969 rose to number 43 on the charts. This band played on the bill with such acts as Led Zeppelin and others.
While in the band, Seals and Coley began their own acoustic act: Colley and Wayland. The act was renamed England Dan & John Ford Coley, and the duo was signed by A&M Records. In 1971, the two moved to Los Angeles where they opened for numerous bands. Their first break came in 1972 with the song "Simone". It became a number one hit in Japan and was quite popular in France. However, "Simone" did not fare as well in the United States, and the two were released from their contract with A&M after three albums.

The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle
Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life
And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day

That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like I know it's my last
If there is no future there must be no past

And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring

Long ago in a dusty village
full of hinger, pain and strife
a man came forth with a vision of truth
and the way to a better life
he was convinced he had the answer
and he complelled people to follow along
but the hunger never vansihed
and the man was banished
and the village dried up and died
at a time when wise men peered
through glass tubes toward the sky
the heavens changed in predictable ways
and one man was able to find
that he had thought he found the answer
and he was quick to write his revelation
but as they were scutinized
in his colleagues eyes
he soon became a mockery
don't tell me the answer
I've got ideas too
but if you've got enough naivete
and you've got conviction
then the answer is perfect for you
an urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge
overwhelmed by industry
searching for a modern day savior from another place
inclined toward charity
everyone's begging for an answer
without regard to validity
the searching never ends
(sambora, foster)
The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There’s a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There’s a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle

Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
I am like you are sure of difference
For the reason without treason
Hoping if we fall down you see
All things broken into pieces
All of you take time win free sufferin’
Wait through all love straight to your head
Feel like I am like you are sure of
Difference for the reason without
Treason hoping if we fall down
You say all things broken into
Pieces all of you take time win free
Sufferin’ wait through all love all love
Straight to your head feel like I am
Like you are sure of difference for the
Reason without treason hoping
If we fall down you say all things
Broken into pieces all of you
Take time win free sufferin’ made into
All love straight to your head feel like
All your life all your life all your life all your life
All your life...

Step outside the bounds and take a
big look at the times we live in.
Who appointed you?
You're just an avid image on my screen.
So take your bias point of view away from
my organic institution.
And now we D.A.R.E. to think ourselves!
The answer's waiting content.
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answer's clear as day open your eyes!
Now kill me.
You killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives.
So, in a sense you bit the hand that feeds us
just to kill your prophet now.
And with the coming generation at the torn seems
this is what you call progress..
I call it shame!
The answer's waiting content.
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answers clear as day open your eyes!
Now kill me.

It's no good anymore
When your hands are tied
Cause your friends found you out
When you broke down and cried
and the bright colored balls
That you held inside
Weren't the answer
No, no, no
Not the answer
It's no good anymore
When you know all the rules
Cause your friends pushed you out
And they all look like fools
And the stories that you sang
From the inside room
Weren't the answer
No, no, no
Not the answer
I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see
It's no good anymore
To abide by the rules
Cause you're graduating soon
From the loser's school
And the country tavern lady
In the house on the hill
Can't be the answer
No, no, no
She's not the answer
I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see
(Repeat)
Like to help you
But you're too far gone
I'd like to help you out
But it's too late now
If I can't crawl inside of you,
I'm laughing with a broken face
I stumble across my self esteem.
But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space.
Understand...
that God wrapped you like a bow.
But in my head...
There's some shelves that need cleaning,
from basement to ceiling, control.
If what you're seeing is an open book,
that's great 'cause I'm an open book.
But I'm real shy.
There's a part of me seeking and desperately needing to open up.
That's strange 'cause I'm an open book, a confused boy.
I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.
My heart while in its cage,
give and not receive a thing,
But the only funny thing is that I don't know how to give myself advice.
I've got this post dramatic thing
I've got this tattoo of a ring that lies
around my wedding finger and that'ss where I want to state this claim.
That I've got to learn to live and dream
before I go and get myself in love.
In love.
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
There's Zoloft, Welbutrin, there's Paxil that's proven, no side effects.
But the rest left unnamed 'cause they worked like a charm on me.
But when your saving is drying,
you can't stop from crying
you've got to suck it up.
You're not her buttercup,
you're not her favorite book.
And I am an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.
My heart while in its cage,
give and not receive a thing,
But the only funny thing is that I don't know how to give myself advice.
I've got this post dramatic thing
I've got this tattoo of a ring that lies
around my wedding finger and thats where I want to state this claim.
That I've got to learn to live and dream
before I go and get myself in love.
In love.
You were there when I took my first breath,
and you will be there for the last.
Mountains bow before you, and the ocean turns to rain.
the ocean turns to rain.
You are a voice from the heavens I hear in the night,
And you are the answer to questions I have in this life.
Mile after mile they came to hear the words from you.
the chance to touch you would change their lives.
The ground would shake around you, when the earth would hear your voice.
the earth will hear your voice.
The ground would shake.
The mountains tremble and fall into the sea.
We'll run to you and see.
I've tried more of me
And I've come up to cry
Trading You for things
Things that go away
My happiness is found in less
Of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
Of me and more
Like I've found the answer
Is to love You
And be loved by You alone
Alright, alright, alright
You crucify me and the world to me
And I will only boast in You
Alright, alright, alright
Also satisfied
At the thought of You
Growing up in me
Covering everything
My happiness is found in less
Of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
Of me and more
Like I've found the answer
Is to love You
And be loved by You alone
Alright, alright, alright
You crucify me and the world to me

You are, You are, You are
And I have found the answer
Is to love You
And be loved by You alone
Alright, alright, alright
You crucify me and the world to me
And I will only boast in You, and I will
Save me from myself
Turn me into someone else
I answer to no one
You won't speak for me
I answer to no one
I will never be a someone
I will always be alone
Take me to where I'll like it
Give me the strength to find it
I answer to no one
You won't speak for me
I answer to no one
I will never be a someone
I will always be alone
Show me the way to some where
Help me away from nowhere
I answer to no one
You won't speak for me

Can we help to comprehend the limits of the human mind
Can someone influence the media so it can control us?
The Question is that can you -- Walk away
Without finding the answer to that?
Can you -- Walk away
Without fighting against that?
In my attempt, I will need all the luck that you send
And my burning desire is to put out the burning fire
Which human being is better than the other
And why are we bunded by the vision of money
And how much is enough
When will we crawl out of our hidding place
And start fighting for our right?
When will our egoistic way
Turn into a positive helping way
The Question is that can you -- Walk away
Without finding the answer to that?
Can you -- Walk away
Without fighting against that?
Another day broken by the way
It takes a lot more to make me stay
It seems like we haven't learn
It's the right time for us to make it turn
Can we help to comprehend the limits of the human mind
Can someone influence the media so it can control us?
The Question is that can you -- Walk away
Without finding the answer to that?
Can you -- Walk away
Without fighting against that?
In my attempt, I will need all the luck that you send
If you're looking for somebody you can talk to
When the heartache and the troubles overcome you
There's a man you can count on
That you can put your problems on
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
For a lover and an understander
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
You're out there wondering
What got you into such a big old mess?
You've been feeling so undeserving of forgiveness
But there's a King upon a throne
That lets you know you're not alone
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's an anchor, He's Gods right hander
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
Sometimes life is a no win situation
But get down on your knees
And He'll be right there waiting
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's a lover and an understander
He's an anchor, He's Gods right hander

The answer
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
Plastic leaders seem like insects, tortured cities lost beyond
Pleasure films of landscape, dirt on royal gowns
The man said to cop, "Religion, all I want is peace"
He said, "This was the land of freedom but it's not for free"
But I found the answers
But I found the answers
Yeah, to the problems they're in my head
Man destroy the system
Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Psychedelic friction healing statues carved from Gods
Searching for our true believers, please count me as one
But you know I can't be your savior 'cause I need my own
But I found the answers
But I found the answers
Yeah, to the problems they're in my head
Man kill the administration
Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Little sister, she's been saying plastic prayers to God
Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Little sister, she's been saying plastic prayers to God
Find the answers, yeah, to your problems
Find the answers, yeah, to your problems
I've laid down Lord, I've laid down, Lord
Visualizing a cool breeze demolition
And sacred fevers on rivers weeping insanity
Builders of cities, destroyers of worlds
Feeding the five thousand was not done with prayers alone
It takes blood and guts and it takes devotion
So tired of standing up and so tired of drawing breath
It's your turn to take the map and it's your turn to drop the soap
Pretty pretty boys sucking on a cola
Money to burn, money to burn, money to burn
We got rules to protect us
Isaac and Ishmael
The magazine says it's okay
Life as a billboard
If you are the answer
We are going straight to hell
Grown in a parental fugue
Weight loss in self respect
Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together
There's something in the night air
Cool breeze make me shutter
How strange is the calm before the storm
Another day of news breaks
A world now in hear ache
Sometimes I feel I just got to let go
And why, why can't we all love
Why does it hurt so, maybe tomorrow
I'm here, I'm free, look up, tell me
And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
You'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone
Time it keeps on passing you
Lives caught in a maze
World she's living on borrowed time
Now it's all up to you
As another night grows cold
Lord heal my soul
Have we lost our way
God knows it
Can we change the world
Please show us
And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
We'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone
Have we lost our way
God knows it
Can we change the world
Please show us
And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
We'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone,gone
Oh yeah
Have we lost our way
God knows it
How many times must I go through this pain?
So Many loved one slost with nothing gained
Sometimes I feel like I can't go on
Where do we go when we move to the great beyond?
It really seems so hard today
Don't think I can keep going on this way
So Many things that remind me of you
Please tell me what is there left for me to do?
I know that someone must feel the same
This cold hard emptiness drives me insane
I always feel as if something's wrong
These feelings I have are really much too strong
Sometimes I don't know what to say
It weighs too heavy now - it kills my brain
So Many times that I think of you
Please help me do what I need to do
So Many fears so much pain
So many tears who is to blame?
Out of my mind thinking of you
Why must we die what can I do?
I'm looking for the answer
Don't fear it today
All in the answer
All in the answer
Battle call of the fathers
Personnal war of the elite
Hypnotized by symbols
Idols and coloured rags
Condems full attention
Contradicts a way of life
Brother fight my brother
Heritage of the east and west
Orphans of a changing world
Blind leading the blind
[Chorus (2x)]
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
Violence in the name of peace
Triumph of good over evil
Divided by key players
United in creted the rift
Expressed in code warnings
Deliberate deception
Love hate partners sharing
Never ever to unite
Confort your own morality
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
[Chorus (2x)]
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
[Chorus (2x)]
Living in the city
Another lonely night
And here I am walking the streets again
Isolation is tearing me apart
There's gotta be someone somewhere
A hungry heart
Well I'm looking for you yeh
Keep on looking for some love
Said I'm looking for you
Keep on looking for some love
I wanna belong
I wanna be someone
If I can just be strong till the morning comes
When I open my eyes
I know it's there somewhere
The reason for life
The need to survive
The answer
I assess my feelings
The calm before the storm
And here I am
I ain't gonna cry again
Desolation, secrets from my past
Get out of my mind forever
Free free at last
Well I'm looking for you yeh
Keep on looking for some love
Yes I'm looking for you yeh
I gotta find some love
Na na na ooh love
I wanna belong
I wanna be someone
If I can just be strong till the morning comes
When I open my eyes
I know it's there somewhere
The reason for life
The need to survive
The answer
I know . I know..
I wanna belong
I wanna be someone
If i can just be strong till the morning comes
I wanna belong
I wanna be someone
If I can just be strong till the morning comes
When I open my eyes
I know it's there somewhere
The reason for life
The need to survive
The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass, you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer
Spirits sing and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear
He leaves you one more riddle
Oh, the answers lie beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth and you shall find another life
Now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like
I know that it's my last
If there is no future
There must be no past
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
I've tried more of me
and I've come up dry
trading You for things
things that go away
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
I have found the answer is
to love You and be loved by you alone
alright! alright! alright!
You crucify me and the world to me
and I will only boast in You
alright! alright! alright!
Oh so satisfied
at the thought of You
growing up in me
covering everything
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
You are, You are(loved by me)
You are, You are(You're loved by me)
You are, You are(You're loved by me)
Jesus Christ was a superstar
A pimpin' big daddy with a Lincoln Town Car
Drove it real fast with the fly-ass hos
Playing chicken with the devil for the greatest applause
First came the question
And then came the answer
And then came the ultimate question:
Are you happy?
Then the messiah, alright
Lost and found with the resurrection
And with tools of deep precision
With the schools of thought complexion
Teaching us the brain expansion
It got heavy, we started dancing
Bran van three grand
We don't have to make it
Complicated
Act like a man, boy
We don't have to make it
Complicated
I said come comma comma comma some more
Kick up the club floor, that's what ya came for
Leave your big booty round at my front porch
And leave your big ugly frown back out the back door
Forget your big plans, your high ideals
'Cause it's a quicksand for the way you feel
When they put you down the river and they leave you squeal
Come on, squeal like a pig how the summer girl feels
We're leaving, leaving our machine this very evening
They're programming your head
So stop believing
No need to complicate, it's all illusion
Anyways, I feel the machine's got boring
Bran van three grand
We don't have to make it
Complicated
Act like a man, boy
We don't have to make it
Complicated
Hey Charlton Heston
Moses did alright without a handgun
If you're horny for god let Dizzy give some
I'm Dizzy D, no one the finer
The queen and king, from here to China
All the ladies love to give me the boom boom boom boom
Back to my room where it's hurry hurry hurry and wait
A bottle of crisp and a pasta plate
Kick up the love baby, down the hate
'Cause the bran van brothers do not complicate
Say hurry hurry hurry rush
You're moving so fast that you're out of touch
Money money money got your head in a mush
Now Bush has got the button, is he gonna push?
Well, some little joker got a dot-com deal
About Internet wiggers and keepin' it real
You're sweatin' like a fool to put the gravy on your meal
And now you just found out you lost your sex appeal
Bran van three grand
We don't have to make it
Complicated
Act like a man, boy
We don't have to make it
Complicated
The answer...
(Can you take me higher?)
Dream on
Dream on
Stop saying the game is sold and not be told
Try to help the child that's only 4 years old
Why, why would you sit back and relax
And watch them kids fall off the tracks?
How, how can we sit on the sideline
And watch it go down
You, you need to make someone feel really proud
Rhythm is the key, can't you see?
Just don't do it for publicity
I, I was the boy in the little picture
Always asking questions
But never getting really good answers
So I screamed out loud and said
Please give 'em the answers
Give 'em the answers, they need the answers
Some people ask me how is life for me
Growing up in a dark pretty city
It was scary but life was good
See in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
It's all coming back to me now
See, when I was growing up
There was a lot of people raising me
I didn't know at the time
But I listened to everything I heard
Every man, every woman
Every teacher, every preacher
Yes, I listened too
And you gotta do the same things
Oh yes, you do
March to the drums, look all around you
Help somebody find their way
We gotta show 'em the way
Do it today, show 'em the way
Show 'em the way
Don't let 'em find out the hard way
Show them the way
I won't apologize for my actions
When I did whatI thought was right
You got what you deserved
The only answer was a fight
You brought it upon yourself
I did not ask for any of this
I know violence is never the answer
This time, I had to use my fists
You acted so surprised
How could you think that this couldn't happen
Everyday I heard something new
[V1]
You break the darkness with your light
You give me freedom, you save my life
You save my life
You break the chains off with your power
You give me purpose, you set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
[PC]
Heaven's hope is calling
Heaven's hope is calling me
You are the answer, Jesus
Redeemer of my life
You are the saviour, Jesus
Forever glorified
You are the reason, Jesus
The author of my days
You are the saviour, Jesus
We lift your name in praise
[V2]
I lay my life down at your feet
You are the answer, you're all I need
You're all I need
I reach out
Longing for your throne
I cry out
Fire and hate embrace my soul
I burn in the eternal flames of madness
Bearer of red fierce flames
Commanding the black hordes
To the battle
I can hear the screams from the forest
Who pray the renaissance of
Our anti-Christian hate
My destiny is to destroy the
Enemies of our land
Land of mighty warriors
Run Cowards! Bleed Cowards!
I'm leading the hordes to victory
And defending the honour
Of our ancestors
This world destroys my existence
In my path I'm the only one
The abyss still calling my name
The infernal screams from
The land of the strong ones
Are singing battle hymns of supremacy
The only way is the final solution
DIE!!!
666 - Burn their holy bible
666 - We must destroy the new
Greed is the killer
And green is the colour you desire
Aggression at cost
you fill up your pocket
then your hatred fuels the fire
Oh...
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Take it or leave it
(well) You make the choice for us
Than you silence people's voices
(and) now we experience,
cause and effect!
The victims of profit
(oh) we cannot forget
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold...)
So cold...
??????
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
Sitting alone, waiting for nothing,
I'm asking to myself what are my fears?
Maybe the one, that I'll find nothing to explain
My flight into the flames...
[pre-Chorus:]
Isn't it the senseless fight?
What am I looking for, what can I find?
Do I really wanna know?
Am I strong enough to hold my life at run?
Who tells, how stable is the true?
[Chorus:]
I can't resist the poison of my mind
It hollows out my soul,
The answers will never be found...
[Solo: SINgiel]
Fight the stone and break on through the thoughts,
Find the way to escape!
Digging in the past, reminding the moments,
When I missed mistakes,
Far beyond the reality I'm chasing my dream...
[Repeat pre-Chorus]
Spreading on the ground I feel sad
hearing screaming while my eyes are full of tears
maybe you should feel the same
there's nobody here I'm walking in the dark
close my eyes and try to leave this defiance
don't worry that I'm fine
give me voice give me hope
tomorrow is so far
I feel like I lost my place
and now that I can see your face
I can say for sure
the answer is still the same
take my hand and help me out
something I can't live without
I'm right here to feel the rythm of your voice
i see you standing by your side now
i realize to be the first of your mistakes
rain is cleaning everything
but my hands remain so dirty on the grass
close my eyes and try to leave this defiance
don't worry that I'm fine
give me voice give me hope
tomorrow is so far
I feel like I lost my place
and now that I can see your face
I can say for sure
the answer is still the same
take my hand and help me out
something I can't live without
I'm right here to feel the rythm of your voice
the rythm of your voice!!
I feel like I lost my place
and now that I can see your face
I can say for sure
the answer is still the same
I feel like I lost my place
and now that I can see your face
I can say for sure
the answer is still the same
take my hand and help me out
something I can't live without
Being is the answer
But the question's hard to see
Least it appears that way
To me
Living is the answer
Ah, but we can live
'Til eighty-three
And never ever feel our elbow
Man, I got this hemorrhoid
I guess it helps
Fill the void
Sigmund Freud
Self-employed
Anthropoid,
Paranoid
Question is the answer
And the answer's plain to see
Meanwhile, the question
Puzzles me
Ask your mother if she’s bored
If she says she isn't yours
Take her to the Supreme Court
Use big words like heretofore
Question is the answer
And the answer's plain to see
Meanwhile, the question
Puzzles me
You wake up in the morning
The sound of rain outside
You pull the covers over your head
Another day another fight
You just wanna get away
From the mess that you have made
From the problems that you've caused
I know the answer
He's standing right in front of you
To take you by the hand
He will forgive you
He'll come to live inside of you
If you let Him in your heart
You're sick of all the heartache
You're done with all the fights
It feels like life is worthless
It just fades away with time
You just wanna get away
From the mess that you have made
From the problems that you've caused
You just want a new beginning
To rearrange your life
To have a brand new start
This is not the end of what God has done
Your life is not over, it's only just begun
It could be so much different if you'd listen to me
Cuz' Jesus is the answer
He's standing right in front of you
To take you by the hand
He will forgive you
He'll come to live inside of you
Do my eyes deceive me, or is that destiny that I see
It’s been a twisted road to come to this very moment
So many places, so many faces
All coming at me in waves
Get on my existential groove train and we’re all gonna get it together
The answer
(repeat)
How can it be, in my dire time of need
That you could disappear
Without giving me the answer
How can it be, in my dire time of need
That you would disappear
Without giving me the answer
Say what you will
But I know my time is coming soon
And I rise as it comes close
What I dread is what I need
Fear grabbing at my feet
Running wild, running far
Deeper now, I think I understand
I believe You are the answer to every tear I've cried I believe that You are with me, My rising and my light.
Give me strength when I am weary Give me hope when I can't see Through the crosses I must carry Lord, bind my heart to Thee
The darkest nights will fall on you
the wheels will turn and try to grind you down
the waves will crash down on your boat
and you feel the tension as you hit the ground
But I know that there's more to this life
than your anger and your pain
Our flesh, our blood, our bones
were meant to handle anything
Call to me
Crawl to me
The blade is not the answer
so you rage against society
you rage against the world that gives you life
A troubled soul in troubled times
a troubled hand reaches for the knife
I wish that my phone would've rang
and you'd be at the other end
I could take the blame
I should've been a better friend
Call to me
Crawl to me
The blade is not the answer
So...
You've come to this?
You're at the end of your rope
You're at the edge of a cliff
Man, you should've held on
Call to me
Crawl to me
Am I Alive? I look the part but im dead inside.
I will not accept. I cannot forget. Condemned.
I am not alive. Now you see that im dead inside.
What i say is not what i feel. I miss your misery.
This chill i get is a constant reminder that i can't
change a thing and that is the horror that i must learn
Tell me in simple words
Everything you thought you'd never say
Make me understand
Beyond the lies that there's a master plan
'Cause every night I sleep alone
I will admit it's getting old
Just lying here it feels so cold
When you're not picking up your phone
How could I have trusted you,
and everything I thought I knew
of loyalty
The answer deep inside me
Is ripping me apart
The truth of who you are
How could anyone
Who said those things you said to me
Move on
I just need a true goodbye
To close my eyes to sleep until the dawn
'Cause every night you left me there
I'd wonder if you even cared
I'd wait for you while you enjoyed
The lonely words that you employed
This can't be reality
When everything you meant to me
Was loyalty
The answer deep inside me
Is ripping me apart
The truth of who you are
The answer deep inside me
Is eating up my heart
I don't know who you are
'Cause every night you left me there
I know what I'm worth inside
I wonder if you even cared
You can't take that away you have no pride
You have no right
You have no right
To tear me down
The answer deep inside me
Is ripping me apart
The truth of who you are
The answer deep inside me
Is eating up my heart
When its right
When its true
Believe it
When its real
It will always be
Tides turn with the moon
Ships rock for a reason
My compass guides me back to you
I was right,
I was wrong,
Naive but,
Seas have changed now the shore's in view.
Life is full of truth,
Loves not only mystery,
Remember me, I was a friend to you.
If your boat is empty,
I will bring you meaning.
If your sails have folded,
I will send the wind.
If you're tossed, confused,
Ill give you the answer.
Free it, see it, love me, let me in.
If you look, and you search,
Discover,
What you know what you always knew.
A voyage is a quest,
The storms we have created,
Just pebbles compared to power that lies in you
If your boat is empty,
I will bring you meaning.
If your sails have folded,
I will send the wind.
If you're tossed, confused,
Ill give you the answer.
Free it, see it, love me, let me in.
la di da di da
la di da di di di
If your boat is empty,
I will bring you meaning.
If your sails have folded,
I will send the wind.
If you're tossed, confused
Ill give u the answer.
I've tried more of me
and I've come up dry
trading You for things
things that go away
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
I have found the answer is
to love You and be loved by you alone
alright! alright! alright!
You crucify me and the world to me
and I will only boast in You
alright! alright! alright!
Oh so satisfied
at the thought of You
growing up in me
covering everything
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
My happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
You are, You are(loved by me)
You are, You are(You're loved by me)
You are, You are(You're loved by me)
(Verse 1)
She spins a tale of love so bittersweet that it stains my lips
I wonder how you got so lonely with a grace so poisonous
But she melts away in the light
I could never stay away,
But I could sure fucking try
I don't deserve this
I'm lost looking for purpose
No, I'm not worthless
I'm just looking for answers
You're not the answer
(Chorus)
This is not
What I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same
(Verse 2)
She's misery, but when she leaves I find I'm wondering
How many times have I tried?
Why can't I just get this right?
She slips away from me again
Force me away, force me to hide my heart
When I'd give anything to lie with you
(Chorus)
This is not
What I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same.
(Verse 3)
There's something growing inside me
My hearts not yours to break
I've let you go.
I found the answer was hiding inside me
Don't fucking judge me
I command respect
Who would've thought my life could fall right in front of me?
I watched you burn out of reality
You found me trivial
I found you a tragedy
The night you burned I found what's left of me
This is what's left of me
(Chorus)
What I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same.
I swear, I swear I'm just looking for answers, you're not the answer.
I swear, I swear I got the answer, you're not the answer.
All in the answer
All in the answer
Battle call of the fathers
Personnal war of the elite
Hypnotized by symbols
Idols and coloured rags
Condems full attention
Contradicts a way of life
Brother fight my brother
Heritage of the east and west
Orphans of a changing world
Blind leading the blind
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
Violence in the name of peace
Triumph of good over evil
Divided by key players
United in creted the rift
Expressed in code warnings
Deliberate deception
Love hate partners sharing
Never ever to unite
Confort your own morality
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong
Everybody, everywhere, everyone
All around the world
Calling all you people
Calling every boy and girl
You can be everything, anything
You really want to be
But you can't play the victim
Got to put an end
To this self-fulling prophecy
Give it up and kick it out
Lift yourself up and you find the answer
Can't judge another by the color
By the color of his skin
Can't live on the surface
Got to give it from the places within
Ain't no preacher gonna teach us
'Bout the meaning of love
It's up to you and me
To give what we got plenty of
Give it up and kick it out
Life yourself up just like a dancer
Give it up, pick it up
And keep it up
Lift yourself up and you find the answer
Everybody, everywhere, everyone
All around the world
Calling all you people
Calling every boy and every single girl
You can be everything, anything
You really want to be
And it's right here for you
The answer ain't no great big mystery
Give it up and kick it out
Life yourself up just like a dancer now
Give it up, pick it up
And keep it up
Yo, I'm one of the chosen few, could dispose of you
And anybody else who think they flowin' too
Here's your last chance, brothers besta show 'n' prove
Why y'all in the vocal booth, but your flow is mute
Ain't no excuse, lot of niggaz thinkin' they cute
Drippin' they S-Curl juice on their gators and suits
Ain't it the truth, lot of cats gay and it's proof
Platinum rainbows and jewels on the necks of their crews
I'm bad news like obituary sections
The rhymes I write describe the loss of a life the previous night
At an open mic or any type of venue
There ain't no tellin' where I'm goin' 'cause of what I've been through
As I begin to attract the attention of fans
Will I be able to withstand the supply and demand?
Can I expand, turn mics in my hands to grands?
If you really ask me, dog, I think I can
Yo, we liven it up for the world to understand it
We do it for the fans that's all across the planet
Kenn Starr, Oddissee, Phonte's the answer
No question y'all take your chances

Kenn Starr, Oddissee, Phonte's the answer
No question, y'all take your chances
Yo, uh, yo, crackin' for miles and 'Te's in full effect
He's laughin' and browsin' over these wanna be cats
Yappin' their mouths and spittin' all these 'rerun' ass rhymes
Like we on some 'what's happenin' now' shit
Go get the MP3's start extractin' the files
Mulatto-slave flow Te's back in the house
Just tryin' to see what y'all rappin' about, so quit
Practicin' now, ninth inning, he's battin' a thousand
Put a mic in my hand and I'ma damage a crowd, man
With technique and above-average style, man
My raps speak to all you savages now, man
The time is right here, so let's get it
I'll be glad to proofread your rhymes, if you want to step with us
Serve your whole team with a run-on, death sentence
You can't adopt this style 'cause I ain't tryin' to give it up
And fuckin' with 'Te ain't in your best interest
We liven it up for the world to understand it
We do it for the fans that's all across the planet
Kenn Starr, Oddissee, Phonte's the answer
No question, y'all take your chances
People in the U.S., just rock with us
Cats over seas, just rock with us

Kenn Starr is back off a hiatus
Y'all been warned so back off us, why hate us?
Be actin' like they strapped and packin' gats when they not tough
They tough actin' like Tinactin'
Give me applause, I spit classic
Give me a broad with a thick accent
Skinny and tall or a big, fat chick
Plenty of y'all, sic into your dog
If she give me the drawers, I'm leavin' the chick back bent
The fact is, if you choose to propose
End up with a fatlip and a bruise on your nose
That's hot, give up now, my crew's in control
If not, get shut down like schools when it snows
Get got for your shoes and your coat
Bogard, I go hard like nipples on boobs when it's cold
And show y'all how simple the mood and the flow
Can determine whether you earnin' or losin' your doe
Make moves on the low
We liven it up for the world to understand it
We do it for the fans that's all across the planet
Kenn Starr, Oddissee, Phonte's the answer
No question, y'all take your chances
People in the U.S., just rock with us
Cats overseas, just rock with us
People worldwide, come on rock with us
Come on rock with us, just rock with us
Just rock with us, just rock with us
Come on, rock with us, just rock with us

If it pours when you rain
Can it pour on me?
Can I sip a little slower?
Can you moan on beat?
Couple questions I got picturing your feet
Like saying kicks but them shits don't stink
Like you wear them every day them Converse pinks
And you got them tights on that can make your pink
Stand out, no doubt, Imma dive right in
Give me a minute, I need the right timing
You know it's real when she says time out
Hear them sounds coming down as the air climbs out
First round kinda quick, first course of the meal
You know, going kinda slow, tryna find your feel
Stick around, be the entree, shaking it real
You need a rap cause it's a wrap, I just fucked that deal
You made with Tammy when she did your hair late last week
Now we sweat up on the pillow in these two tone sheets
I mean, I got some questions, you know what it be
How you smell so good? Why you running these streets?
How's your smile so righteous, the prettiest teeth?
Why you taste like a five star bonne appetite?
I mean, I got some questions, you know what it is
How you stay on point while you handling beers?
How you look so fine with no makeup on?
Yeah, these questions could make this song
She was tatted on the back
And it blew my mind
Usually I wouldn't waste no time, but
She was tatted on the back
It was so divine
Used my fingers to trace them lines
She was tatted on the back
Yeah, I love that shit
Inked up, she was so damn fine
She was tatted on the back
Yeah, she was tatted on the back
Oh me, oh my, oh you won't tap
So fast, so slow, so we don't stop
Your ass could pass as a perfect ten
It ain't all about the booty, you the perfect blend
Tell me, how you make your morning breathe stink so good?
Like, that beach melon that the toothpaste should
Like, you got them eyes that can brighten the hood
So every single minute I be feeling I could
When I'm next to you the snooze button stay on repeat
It's like five more minutes, we can kiss in our sleep
It's like five more minutes, we can wrinkle the sheets
It's like five more minutes, I can play with your cheeks
How your skin so smooth baby, I gotta know
How you working three jobs and still go to the store
Buying groceries and numerous things you like to get
Meanwhile, what a style to slow, so keep it fresh
You don't play no games, you ain't about it
Messing with the same old lames who ain't grounded
You prepared to make that change if they ain't clowning
I could be the man you need, I'm well rounded
You don't play no games, you ain't about it
Messing with the same old lames who ain't grounded
You prepared to make that change if they ain't clowning
I could be the man you need, let's do it right
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
