Kamaljit Singh Jhooti, better known by his stage name Jay Sean, is a British singer-songwriter, rapper, beatboxer and record producer. He debuted in the UK's Asian Underground scene as a member of the Rishi Rich Project with "Dance with You", which reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003. This led to him being signed to Virgin Records and having two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: "Eyes On You" at #6 and "Stolen" at #4. They were included in his critically acclaimed debut album Me Against Myself which, though only moderately successful in the UK, sold more than two million copies across Asia and remains his most successful album to date. Alongside the Rishi Rich Project, Sean was a pioneer of Bhangra-R&B fusion, which his debut album helped popularize among the worldwide South Asian diaspora.
He eventually left Virgin in 2006 and founded his own independent label, Jayded Records. After a gap of nearly four years, he returned in 2008 with "Ride It", which reached #11 in the UK and topped the charts in several Eastern European countries, including Romania where it was one of the best-selling singles of the year. It was followed by hits such as "Maybe", which reached #7 on the Japan Hot 100, and "Tonight". They were included in his second album, My Own Way, which became his most successful album on the UK Albums Chart, reaching #6, and topped the UK R&B Chart. At around this time, he began increasingly incorporating electropop sounds into his R&B music.

"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
Spent all my money on everyone else
Why I just kept handing it out right and left
They didn't appreciate none of my help I have found
Had me a man I was so much in love
But he just walked off after using me up
I cried like a baby it hurt me so much and I'm down
Yeah I'm sure down
I know that I'm down but I'm gonna get up
I just need some time just need a little streak of good luck
And you know that it's rough when your bittin' the dust like I am
You try to do right but tell me where does that get you
People just use you and then they forget you
Well it wont take me long to get my feet back on solid ground
But now I'm down
When I get my life back in order again
I'll still be willing to help out my friends
And if you need somebody or wished it had been look around
I'll be spending my money on everyone else
I'll just be handing it out right and left
I'll find a new love I wont live by myself I'm just down
Now yeah I'm down
Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
(feat. Kanye West)
[Chorus]
I wanna get down, down, down, down
Down, down, down

Uh... Mr. West is in the building

And wait fast...Mmm

[Chris Brown]
Baby girl, gotta tell you

Tell me you remember that baby girl, but lady never mind that

Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin in style
Feelin high on the hog
I was down
Chorus:
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I dont know..........dont care at all
I had a similar dream
Of my dreams
While
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now Im on the way up
When you reach the top
No way to go
Who do you think that you are
Don't tell me lies
You know exactly what you've done
You went beyond the limit
Don't close your eyes
The consequences might not be so nice
Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around
See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last
I'll see you going down
Well I see you going down
I've got my shit together
It's working well
Don't need permission for my deeds
And all these superheroes
Who know so well
You can go home and this will make my day
Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around
See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last (and I will dance on your grave )
And I will wave goodbye
When I see you going down...
All the evil that you're sending out
Is falling back on you
Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around
See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last (and I will dance on your grave )
And I will wave goodbye
Well, you gotta have soap to wash your sins away
You gotta have hope, it's the price you gotta pay
And you gotta give love or your love will walk away
And you gotta stay loose, it's the only way to stay
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
Da-da down, da-da down
Down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Goin' down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Down, got me goin', goin' 'round, got me goin' down
Goin' down, down, down
Goin' down to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
I'm goin' down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
Da-da-da down
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
You got me goin', goin' down
You got me goin', goin' down
Chill. light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Play a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations
We've changed a lot and then some some
Know that we have always been down down
And if i ever didn't thank you you
Then just let me do it now
I bet you light up when we start the show follow me now
Very closely because i told you so you know
We glow because we throw sun rays
We be freaky and we wanna stay
CHORUS
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
'Cuz we're dope kidchange like a chameleon
And the channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle likeghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with you teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique 311 in LA
CHORUS
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down
CHORUS
The drops of rain they fall all over
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me
(this can't be the end)
Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad
Down down down down
It gets me so
Down down down down
It gets me so
Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
(You did this)
Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad.
Down down down down
It gets me so
Down down down down
woke up
hot texas morning
shades up and take a pee
the weather...
that empty feeling
that comes from way down inside
feeling down again
it's raining
depression hits me
mixed up, the sky's all gray
the phone rings
i don't feel like talking
some things
i can't explain
feeling down again
feeling low, no one home, living life
feeling cold, growing old in the night
feeling down again
woke up
hot texas morning
shades up
turn on the tv
the weather and that empty feeling
Curiosity can get the best of me
As I try to conceive the unconceivable
All philosophy is escaping me
As I try to believe the unbelievable
I wanna believe
Without a single question
Oh Lord, hear my confession
I know, I know, I know, I know
Though I don't know everything
And I believe that I can never truly figure it out
You are so much more than me
Above me, beyond me
So far over my head but I still see You
And I am finally making sense of it all
As the wisdom of this fool begins to fall, fall, fall
Down
The story of my soul seems like a broken road
And how I'm standing here is unbelievable
Keep me lost in mystery, I'm down here on my knees
The only way that I can reach what seems unreachable
I wanna believe
Without a single question
Oh Lord, hear my confession
I know, I know, I know, I know
Though I don't know everything
And I believe that I can never truly figure it out
You are so much more than me
Above me, beyond me
So far over my head but I still see You
And I am finally making sense of it all
As the wisdom of this fool begins to fall, fall, fall
Down, down
Down, down
I wanna believe
Without a single question
Oh Lord, hear my confession
I know, I know, I know, I know
Though I don't know everything
And I believe that I can never truly figure it out, yeah
You are so much more
I know, I know, I know, I know
Though I don't know everything
And I believe that I can never truly figure it out
You are so much more than me
Above me, beyond me
So far over my head but I still see You
And I am finally making sense of it all
As the wisdom of this fool begins to fall, fall, fall
Down, down, down, down
Take along some of your favorite things
'Cause you're gonna need 'em
Wait right here
Wait 'til I come back around
You and I will go
We'll just sit and watch it all go down
Down Down
I was fakin'
While you waited for change to come
I lied when I said I couldn't stay here anymore
When you and I just can't seem to get along
You and I both know
We'll just wait until it all calms down
Down Down
Down Down
Down Down
Careful of the things you want to say
'Cause you're gonna mean 'em
Break my pride
My backbone is feelin' strong
You and I both know
What we hold would never pull it down
Down Down
Down Down
Down Down
Take along some of your favorite things
Down
I hit the dirt when I see
Who you really are
Down
All my strength leaves me like
A falling star
Cut to the heart I am opened up
Like a wound
Shattered convictions I thought
Were reflecting you
Cut to the heart I am opened up
Like a wound
Shattered convictions I thought
Were reflecting you
Down
Comes my religion like leaves
On winter trees
Down
You come to me with your love
I guess the secret's out
Like a river flows
It's never over done
Out of control
I guess the secret's out
My simple goal
You'll be the one, too
Out of control
Out of my control
I guess the secret's out
Above me looking down
It's not supposed to be that way
Out of control
Well I'm feelin' like you took me in
And wrapped your cursed magic over me
If you vow to never cross my path
I'll give you back the shame
So you could see - I'd rather be dead
Deep down inside your dream
The evil that you make
You put my life on trial
It's a chance I have to take
Too late the rhapsody
That plays inside my head
It's dark before the dawn
My eyes are burnin' red
I've been down is where you left me
I've been down, I do not belong
I've been down, won't somebody help me?
I've been down, I did you no wrong
In your world that's hid by tinted glass
You lie behind the fragments of yourself
In an empty room, you hide behind the
Smile that pulls me back again, time again
The pistol's in my hand
I have to let you know
I put you in the ground
Now I have to let you go
The serpent that I ride
Has put a grip on me
My pain is glorified
Why can't you let it be?
Got one foot in front of the other
Got the wind at my back
Got the bluebird of happiness on my shoulder
Along with everything I could pack
Won't get me down
Won't get me down
Dig a hole, put me in the ground
Won't get me down
This old guitar done some livin'
And it's made a livin' for me
Well it's seen its share of barfights
And it's sat in the corner cryin' for me
Won't get it down
Won't get it down
If it never made another sound
Won't get it down
Wears my ring on her finger
We swore we'd always be true
There's no doubt I'd love to linger
Long after this whole world is through
Won't get us down
Won't get us down
Slander us all over town
Won't get us down
There's a man they call Jesus
And he did alot for me
Everything we do he sees us
Yeah he walks through eternity
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Crucified with a thorny crown
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Someday he'll be back around
All the people in your life say you're down
And the strangers in the night say you're down
And the loonies on the right say you're down and you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the traffic speeding by says you're down
And the people in your life say you're down and you're down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
And the people in the park say you're down
And the strangers in the dark say you're down
And the pissheads in the bars say you're down
And the audiences cry that you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the boyfriends in your life say you're down and you're down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style

I don't want to maintain, insane, get it up
You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough
I don't wanna maintain, insane, get it up
You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough[VERSE 1]
Fresher,
Like it's the 1st semester
Rock it like Queen when I'm under pressure
While the rest of these cats, all siesta
Get loose like change when its on your dresser
BOOM
Here comes the real volume
Had enough to wake up and shake this tomb
I can act like skate decks in concrete rooms
We're about to face what makes this move[Pre-Chorus]
People used to tell me that I'm on my own
They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone
'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song
I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong
Let's Go[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down[VERSE 2]
Explosion
Take it like rust corrosion
When it goes in GOOSH like you bust a nose in
Competitors
I was born to set it off
They wrapped me in cloth
I grabbed a mic and went on tour
Smash it
Back in school I was a hazard
Cause I never saw the glass,
Man, I just looked past it
Had a passion that burned like battery acid
Peter Parker, bit by some radioactive
(Shake this place in)[Pre-Chorus]
People used to tell me that I'm on my own
They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone
'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song
I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong
Let's Go[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down[BRIDGE]
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
A young girl walks into her room
And doesn't like what she sees
In her reflection there
She's not what she wants to be
She cries out, she cries out
The frustrations of this life
Are filling her head
How could such a simple thing
Have a grip so intense
She cries out, she cries out
I want to be like the movie stars
And models on screen
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away from this,
But she does not know how to fly away from this
She wants to fly away
She tries just to be what she's not but
She's destroying herself
She starves herself
The compulsion must end
She cries out, cries out
I want to be like the movie stars
And models on screen
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away from this
But she does not know how to fly away from this
She wants to fly away
This addiction is bringing her down
This obsession is bringing her down
She wants to fly away from this
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away from this
Only God knows how to fly away from this
He will show her now to fly away from this

What's the message?
The train is in the station now,
It's reached the end of the line.
Two times a loser, you never could refuse her,
The lie exposed and the old life,
You've left it all behind.
You're going down, down, down.
She's a master of disguise,
You're going down, down, down.
When you first started, it all seemed like a joke,
But then that's always how you've been.
Now I hardly know you,
The lady she does own you.
And now you're finding out,
You're finding out, the joke's on you, my friend.
You're going down, down, down.
Don't you realize,
You're going down, down, down.
What would you do to get another hit
And snort the powder once again.
Before you burn out, and fade away,
Cry out to Jesus,
(Yeah Yeah, eh eh) (ummm)
Im Feel like running (ummm)
life is funny that way
days keep moving, nightime im losing (sleep)
(Bridge)
When the good has gone bad, and the bad has gone wrong
and the wrong is the reason im all alone
when the high comes down and everthing is gone
I remember someone told me
(Chorus)
When your down down down down down
you don't wanna get up, but you have to
and the life you lead keeps kicking you around
you don't wanna get up, but you have to (no)
(Na na yeah!) (nananana yeah!)
Time is chasing, pain ain't leaving (oh oh)
and Im blind of emotion
happyness is just confusion in my mind
(Bridge)
And the bridges in my head are throwing stones
and the stones they throw barely miss my bones
and a high class clown, where no class owes
I remember someone told me
(Chorus)
When your down down down down down
you don't wanna get up, but you have to
and the life you lead keeps kicking you around
you don't wanna get up, but you have to (no)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

(oooh) (get up, get up, get up, get up) (oooh)
(Chorus)
When your down down down down down (when your down)

and the life you lead keeps kicking you around (kicking you around)
you don't wanna get up (nanana) but you have to (I have to)
When your down down down down down
you don't wanna get up, but you have to (oooh)
and the life you lead keeps kicking you around
you don't wanna get up, but you have to (oooh)
when your down down down down down (when your down)
you don't wanna get up (yeah yeah yeah), but you have to (oooh)
and the life you lead keeps kicking you around
you don't wanna get up
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
but you have to (oooh)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) (oooh)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) (oooh)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) (oooh)
you told me that you'd never walk away
leave me to face my fears
your actions contradict the words you say
you lose me on the edge of a word
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
I cant believe you let me fall today
leave me to face myself
your eyes they tell me what you try to say
another love has died
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
falling from your cradle again...
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
I see it in your eyes
falling from your cradle again
I taste it in your tears
they're laughing, they're laughing - once I...
they're nothing, they're nothing... once I...
don't try again
I really want to fly, I never give up hope - I cry
they know nothing from me, myself and I
they know nothing from me, myself and I
they're nothing, they're nothing - once I...
from me, myself and I
the start - your life - your death - your pride
Well you can take back all the smiles
I realize that you choke me out as you fill my body
with doubt
Save all that's mine
You feel like you can push me around
And rub my face in the ground
With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
Wish I could take back all that's mine
I realize now I'm so run down but
I know I will figure it out
Please stay awhile
I really think I need this more than I have ever
implied
With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
I guess I'm just another distraciton
But who can blame me for wanting more
With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every inch you take is suicide
Why'd you fucking doubt me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
Why'd you fucking doubt me
This is the world,
Why are you waiting?
Everyone's standing by hesitating.
So many people halfway there.
Between two points in the middle of nowhere.
And all those things you thought you'd be.
Did you know that it doesn't come free?
Have you seen yourself of late?
Standing still beside the kill.
Have you really got your fill?
Time to try for more than that.
At times your feet they seem to slide.
Never stop.
Never break your stride.
And if you slip you can get up.
Get up!
That's the wonder of the winner's cup.
Put your foot down.
Into the shaky ground.
Piss around a circle and make it sound.
Look around.
See the people lying down.
Listen now.
Can't you hear the sound of machines all breaking down.
The fuel is running out.
The severed lines destroyed by too much time spent down.
My head forced down.
My hope forced down between my legs.
I come unwound.
All my preaching stems from fear.
You're my concern.
I hold you dear.
You must break out of this old cage.
Do it now.
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down?
Down, down
You oughta know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show
I wanna see how you lose control
So leave it behind
'Cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape
So baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down?
Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I'll take you away
Turn this place into our private getaway
So leave it behind
'Cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape
So why don't we run away?
Baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Even if the sky is fallin' down?
Down like she 'posed to be
She gets down low for me
Down like her temperature
'Cause to me she zero degrees
She cold, over freeze
I got that girl from overseas
Now she's my Miss America
Now can I be her soldier, please?
I'm fightin' for this girl
On the battlefield of love
Don't it look like baby cupid
Sent her arrows from above?
Don't you ever leave the side of me
Indefinitely, not probably
And honestly, I'm down like the economy
Baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(And the sky is falling down)
Down, down
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(Are you down? Are you down?)
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down?
(And the sky is falling down)
And the sky is falling down
Well, you gotta have soap to wash your sins away,
You gotta have hope, it's the price you've gotta pay,
You gotta give love oh your love will walk away
And you gotta stay loose, it's the only way to stay.
Down you've got me goin', goin' 'round
You've got me goin' down, down, down, down, down, down,
down.
Down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down.
Goin' down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin'
down.
Down. You've got me goin', goin' 'round, you've got me
goin' down,
Goin' down, down, down.
Goin'down.
To the bottom of a hole, goin' down.
I'm goin' down, to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole,
goin' down.
Down you've got me goin', goin' 'round.
You've got me goin' down, down, down, down, down, down,
down.
Down, you've got me goin', goin' 'round
You've got me goin' down.
You've got me goin', goin' down.
You would've loved who I used to be
Yesterday I would've hated the boy you see
When you found me I was at my worst
The best I was is a long forgotten curse
You caught me on my way down
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie up my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on my way down
I feel like a shell of yester years gone by
Bad decisions like those that just won't die
I'm so sorry that I can't apologize
What comes next is another long good-bye
You caught me on my way down (hunny hunny)
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie up my hand before I burn this town
You caught me on my way down
You caught me on my way down (oh hunny)
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie up my hand before I, I burn this town
You caught me on my way down
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie up my hands before I burn this town
Oh, my beauty - I hear your golden weeping
As I fly the skies of thousand wishes
I'm hunting you like a hunter huntes victims
And I hope that I will catch you
Send me down, down to the earth
Please bring me down, down on my knees
Please send me down, down to earth
Please bring me down, down on my knees
You, my fortress of emotions
Heritage of love is on the way
I want and I need your blood, your warmth
My heart is beating for you
Die Liebe, die lust, der schmerz
L'amour, l'envie, et la douleur
Down
My violent mood swings peak
And my hands are as heavy as rocks
I have no time and no space
I am falling behind
Just take me home
My patience has all run out
And I feel like yelling; - it is too much
I have abandoned all charm and all grace
I have fallen behind
There is no god
The night is cursed
Loud and blurred
Still it rains
It rains like hell
Rain on empty shells
My violent mood swings peak
And my hands are as heavy as rocks
I have no time and no space
I have fallen behind
There is no god
Screaming voices
Ring in my ears
you told me that you'd never walk away
leave me to face my fears
your actions contradict the words you say
you lose me on the edge of a word
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
I cant believe you let me fall today
leave me to face myself
your eyes they tell me what you try to say
another love has died
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
falling from your cradle again...
you take a piece of me you keep on bringing me down
but your all I've ever known
you make a mess of me you keep on bringing me down
falling from your cradle of grace
I see it in your eyes
falling from your cradle again
I taste it in your tears
I wondered if you could come and help me
I want to get from here to there
I saw your face looked down tonight
I only hope that you're alright
I know you think it's always you who
Needs some time alone, needs some time alone
To feel down
To feel down
After tonight, another day
A chance to feel a different way
The sun is slowly changing sides
Still, sorrow in your eyes
Sorrow in your eyes
So feel down
So feel down
Heavy hearts swaying low
Feel down, let it go
So feel down
So feel down
Feel down
So feel down
Wasting the years,
Living the life of a shoveling alcoholic
One foot in the grave
The head in the toilet,
You should be kicked into orbit
And you should know you will fall
God damn schizophrenic
Down you'll go
All alone
God damn King of Fools
Down! No more excuses to hide your lies
Down! Down you're going
You're so easy to despise
You tried to stop us
With all your heart
But you just can't tear us apart
Down! Down you're going
You're rotten to the core.
In the darkness, (cold n) heartless
fucking retarded, you just pressed charges
Playing your shity trick beat
You tried to fool us by offering a treat
And you should know you will fall
God damn schizophrenic
Down you'll go
All alone
God damn King of Fools
Down! No more excuses to hide your lies
Down! Down you're going
You're so easy to despise
You tried to stop us
With all your heart
But you just can't tear us apart
Down! down you're going
You're rotten to the core.
Down! No more excuses to hide your lies
Down! Down you're going
You're so easy to despise
You tried to take more than what was yours
But you couldn't steal our show
Down! Down you're going
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Theres a strong man lives up in Jackson Hole
Took my heart and he broke my soul
Left a dark place in my chest
I sleep but I don't rest
I sleep but I don't rest
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Met a little boy in Baton Rouge
His eyes were clear and his heart was true
I made the boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But he didn't know the game
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knees
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
We're lookin' money and she's super clean
The fins are flying sculpted silver gleam
Where is she going with a punk like this
I like the looks it gets, I like the way it hits
And I know that she'll be down
Wherever we go
Down for a ride
Ready to drive all night
Ready to drive all night
With no place in mind
Tank's full or empty I can never tell
Fucked up my g-whites parking parallel
Get in the middle and get in from my side
I like the shape of it, I like the way it fits
And she never lets me down
Whenever we go
Down for a ride
Ready to drive all night
Ready to drive all night
She likes when we go
Down for a ride
Ready to drive all night
Ready to drive all night
With no place in mind
It always takes me to a place that I belong
Another time, another place that I belong
It always takes me to a place that I belong
Another time, another place that I belong
And I know that she'll be down
Wherever we go
Down for a ride
Ready to drive all night
Ready to drive all night
She likes when we go
Down for a ride
Ready to drive all night
Ready to drive all night
Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God
Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
But I need some echo in the emptiness
All I want, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now, sleeps not coming easy for a while, child
Child, yeah
But I need some echo in the emptiness
All I want, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Down, down
Down, down
But I need some echo in the emptiness
All I want, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Welcome 2 the second chapter,my friend (my friend)..
I told you 3 songs before,how the story began.
believe me, bein' broke is not the best of all,but the worst of all is if u're
tryin'2 be
rich and have a dog hangin'on your testicals,yo.
I ran away,and then I tried 2 hide.
I saw this muthafukkin'bus on the corner,so I jumped inside.
the doors got closed,so I took a look around,guess what I saw...
24 beautiful women,lookin at me without makin a sound.
this must b a dream and I tried 2 wake up (shit!).
but this little munster between my legs proved me da opposite,yo.
one bite deeper,and I would sound like rob halford.
so I said,listen up ladies,there's a thing that I need ya help 4.
get this dog (shall I call it a dog or a rat?)off my dick,better make it quick,
this little teeth are makin me sikk.
they were from sweden,a cheerleadin-team,
on their way 2 some kind of championship,if u know what I mean.
the girl in the middle said:"get this pussy!",
I said :"what?now?"
"not you!the chihuahua,that seems 2 be part of your balls."
ey yo,the beast jumped off,and my menhood got saved,
and 12 fukkin'hours later 24 pussies got shaved...
Can't bring me down
You can't kill me
Can't sell me out
Going to help myself now
You can't fill me with what you want me to be
No one will make me
You can't change me
I am my own man
So fall by the hand of me
No mercy from me
Can't bring me down...so cold
Gone in your wasted mind
Won't let you by
So don't even try
I'm done...
No more thoughts of you
I'm through with you
I curse you dead
Throw the hammer down
I'm down...
Burn in fucking hell
Better hear what I say
Get out of my way
I'm wild in my fucking ways
So cold...
You show to all your wickedness
Pray for the life you'll miss
The drops of rain they fall all over
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me (If you let me)
Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I gave you everything
I gave you trust and salvation
I gave you everything that I could provide
I gave you strength to stand and you shoved me
Down
I know you want me to love you
But all you ever do is bring me down
Won't you go away forever?
I've felt the world of pain
Brought me to the water and then left me dry
Took the drug from the user
Took all my strength to run the shoved me
Down
It's kinda freaky just to see you crawl
And all you can do is stare
I know you're tripping
When I kick you to the curb
Uh, Santana, let's do it
Yeah, DipSet
Man where ever I go, I hold it down
I blow it down, you see me, believe me it's (Going down)
These hoes love me to death, they mumble under they breath
Lovely duets, boy, I'm (Going down)
I thought Mary J. was under my steps, nah I'm just playing
Love when ya sweat, keep singing (Going down)
I'm so fucking amazin, like Jordan to the league
When he first came in, it's (Going down)
I know you mad, my career's blowing up
Going up, holding up, and your's is (Going down)
Slowly but surely, so coked to the shorty's
Caught by the boys, the judge says your (Going down)
I had to call up my lawyer, gotta make court
And yawning, it's four in the morning, it's (Going down)
I need be out by the morning
Man the streets needs me to be out by the morning, or nothings (Going down)
Yeah, I tryed to help ya, tryed to warn ya
Tryed to tell ya it's (Going down)
But, wouldn't believe it, couldn't believe it
Look I succeded, it's (Going down)
Baby keep walking wit ya hip, I keep walking wit a limp
Yeah you talking to a pimp it's (Going down)
Again, I tryed to help ya, tryed to warn ya
Tryed to tell ya it's (Going down)
Now look, I'm back stronger than ever
Money's longer than ever, longer Baretta, it's (Going down)
Man we could get it on, it's whatever
The morns the better, I'm shorter, I'm better whenever it's (Going down)
Got a new chick, badder than ever
Ass fatter than ever, got it together and love (Going down)
No bud, no kiss, no hug
No rub, no bath, no tub, just love (Going down)
Yeah, that's my kind of baby
That's my kind of lady it's (Going down)
And the purse, you might find a eighty
Underneath her lip gloss, shorty keeps some lip gloss she's (Going down)
And that's why I love her, that's also why I don't trust her
Think she got her a sucker, nope (Going down)
Got another thing coming, not a baby but a
?? believe me I done it (Going down)
Yeah, mama look at me now, mama look at me how
Ya beautiful child it's (Going down)
Mama look up and smile, you made a beautiful child
Still shooting the pound it's (Going down)
Gotta survive, manuever through towns
Gotta drive, smooth through the town, or it's (Going down)
Cops on my ass, gotta shoot through the town
Shooting the pound, I ruined it now it's (Going down)
Only question is, will I get caught
Will I get cuffed, will I see court, will people see me (Going down)
No they won't, man I'ma survivor
Plus I gotta lady cop that's a rider, so nothing's (Going down)
You might catch me, crossing the border
Crossing the water, three ladies out and deported it's (Going down)
I caught 'em swimming, north of the border
Lost in the water, caught 'em and scored 'em, now they (Going down)
Going down
Going down
Going down
I am empty and I'm tired
And I'm homesick and inspired.
I can't know everything that you know
'cause I'm learning as I go.
I wanna see your love.
When I wake up I'm the same
'cause I sleep well when I dream away.
Bluebird house on fire like an only child.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
All the fires on the ground
Are laughing with their crackling sound.
I don't fight. I don't scream.
I don't listen to anything.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
I am selfish without you.
I'm over and you're always new.
I'll never let you down from your tower
Or take away your crown.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.
(Down, down, down!)
(Down, down, down!)
(Down, down, down!)
(Down, down, down!)
Hoy he desperta'o
Acariciando la noticia de que tú no volverás
Desorienta'o, dando vueltas en mi cama
Pensando si me amas, yo que te he ama'o
Como nadie, como loco, amores como el mío pocos hay
Duermo solea'o, rocha'o porque te has marcha'o
Y hoy desperté en la misma casa, en el mismo cuarto
En la misma cama en donde te ame
Y eso me pone down, down...
(Down!) Si no tengo de tu piel...
(Down!) Si no tengo tu calor...
(Down!) Si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor...
Mami, yo me pongo down...
(Down!) Girl, I'm dying for your love...
(Down!) I can't handle it anymore...
Si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor...
Girl, that makes me feel so down...
(Down, down, down!)
So down...
That makes me feel so down...
Desorienta'o, en llanto desperté
Acariciando la noticia de no tenerla a usted
Entiéndanme, los hombres también lloran
Y más cuando se va la persona que mas adoran
Estoy en baja, down, ya no tengo ni palabras
Pensando en ti, dando vueltas en la cama
No es fácil vivir la agonía
De pensar en ti noche, mañana, y día
Estoy muriendo, sufriendo, yo te hago entender
Este amor yo te lo juro quise defender
Pero todo fallo en todos los intentos
No aguanto la agonía y este sufrimiento
(Down!) Si no tengo de tu piel...
(Down!) Si no tengo tu calor...
(Down!) Si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor...
Mami, yo me pongo down...
(Down!) Girl, I'm dying for your love...
(Down!) I can't handle it anymore...
Si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor...
Girl, that makes me feel so down...
Girl, can't you see
Que yo no puedo vivir sin ti
And my life is going down
Porque no te tengo aquí
Porque no estas junto a mí
Oh, baby...
Girl, can't you see
Que yo no puedo vivir sin ti
And my life is going down
So down...
Porque no te tengo aquí
Porque no estas junto a mí
Oh, baby...
You make me feel so down...
Hoy he desperta'o
Acariciando la noticia de que tú no volverás
Desorienta'o, dando vueltas en mi cama
Pensando si me amas, yo que te he ama'o
Como nadie, como loco, amores como el mío pocos hay
Duermo solea'o, rocha'o porque te has marcha'o
Y hoy desperté en la misma casa, en el mismo cuarto
En la misma cama en donde te ame
Y eso me pone down, down...
(You make me feel so down!)
(Oh, yeah!)
(Rakim y Ken-Y!)
("Masterpiece"!)
(Mambo Kingz!)
All the people in your life say you're down
And the strangers in the night say you're down
And the loonies on the right say you're down and you're
down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the traffic speeding by says you're down
And the people in your life say you're down and you're
down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
And the people in the park say you're down
And the strangers in the dark say you're down
And the pissheads in the bars say you're down
And the audiences cry that you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the boyfriends in your life say
you're down and you're down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
Down
I hit the ground when I see
Who you really are
All my strength leaves me like
A falling star
(Chorus)
Cut to the heart I am opened up
Like a wound
Shattered convictions I thought
Were reflecting you
Down
Comes my religion like leaves
On winter trees
Down
You come to me with Your love
On hands and knees
Tell me why
We never cared to do this when we still had time
We'll never have to give up if we never try
I know I'll only want it when its gone
Into the fire
Show me now
I wish that I could fake it but I don't know how
I know we'll never make it but I cant stop now
We're only just beginning and its over
Too late
No time
Your now
Can wait
It's too late
No time for now
can wait
and now
We all fall down
Into the fire
And my wishes have all come true
We all fall down
I don't want it if I can't be with you
Leave me here
I'll never see tomorrow til my eyes are clear
We never could run faster than the passing years
I know that I wont miss you til your gone
Into the fire
Cross my heart
We'll never have to let this end if we don't start
We'll never see the light til we fell into the dark
We're only just beginning and its over
Too late
No time for now
Can wait
Its too late
No time for now
Can wait
And now
We all fall down
Into the fire
And my wishes have all come true
We all fall down
I don't want it if I can't be with you
There's a lesson that we learn
In the pages that we burn
Its written in the ashes of the fire in love
All the world is spinning 'round
As we crash into the ground
We'll never be together now
It took his breath away holding the bank page
He got the letter they're gonna take their house away
I'm bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air
Felling the weight of a world that just don't care
He lit a cigarette felt it on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He pull's the window down shout's it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now
He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Can you here when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
It's coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now
It was monday night under the street lights
She's turing seventeen in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds walking in mono tone
She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul
On the road alone in a house that's half a home
They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone
She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Can you here when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
It's coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now
Take these broken streets
Take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we we're walking free
Tell me it will change I see it in your face
The hope the fear the love the faith
I'm working late again slaving to make the rent
I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement
They're coming one by one the face of falling love
I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups
Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Can you hear when we call
There were we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
At the Top of our lungs how far we've come
Were pain and love bleed into one
All that we need it's so bitter sweet
The pain that opens our eyes to see
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Down where I'm going
Down cause you dance me around
And you're too busy to see
Down boy did you let me down
There's a permanent frown where my smile used to be
Pride has kept me from crawling
But sorrow is constantly calling
'Cause you are a man who's not falling for me
Down I'm a fool of the tongue
Someone sendin' the clouds bad songs about me
Carelessly I let you saunter in and out of the chambers of my heart
The sky's as ...
Heartlessly and much too much again
You quickened your steps as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins
Down ...
You're the wolf on the bound
I'm a helpless sheep
Carelessly I let you santer in
And out of the chambers of my heart
Disguised as a gentleman
Heartlessly and much too much again
You quickened you steps as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins
Down my heart makes not a sound
It's somewhere on the ground
Frozen fingers on my skin
Guilty hands clutching gin
Your tin, thin eyes can't see within
Soul to soul and skin to skin we burn
And the silence won't subsie
As I crawl to your scaly side
Your eyes could never hide
My eyes and all their pride
My shoulder to your face is so warm
Dim light from moon outlines our form
You're sinewy and shiftless and so forlorn
Between here and thereand everywhere you're torn
Carving out a piece for me, saving three for you
Squeeze me tight that's all
Waiting... waiting for you
To call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alright to be on the wrong track
Call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alright to be on the wrong track
There's a warm breeze in the city tonight
Soft light makes every sad sight seem alright
And I'm spinning around and we're holding tight
Be something that amounts to nothing the threat
a wrecking-ball plowing through our karma
we have no confident voice in our ears for tonight
exist in memory only headline...
We have BEEN THROUGH CHANGE
by the season of the storms
it's irony
the cleansing
accept eccentric faith
to need religion
to sit high among the elect
on march the saints...
There's no such thing as a GOOD TIME for BAD LUCK
as minutes turn to distressed fragmented moments
reading lips unable to hear the talk
partake no tangible out in tomorrow...
We have seen the change
from the season of the storms
it's irony
the cleansing
with all our lives at stake
from at rest to the present
are sitting high among the elect
on march the saints...
[Instrumental]
When you return expect concern
Live through the horror and I do not know where
For so long I have chosen relief from fighting
The clock is broken recalling this work is timeless
I will be reborn a little gift to god
Sought out the truth without any proof
For I have been tested and trust in fighting
Now don't you worry none
Leave this part of yourself behind
I'm giving you back to yourself
So should you make the change
Or could you right them wrongs
For I cannot replace where I'm going
Where I'm going
So you're angry with me
What could be better, my love
Have most of everything for yourself
Hateful and deserved
Charlie Manson's eyes
Are looking through you back to myself
So should I act my age
Or should I just not belong
For I cannot replace where I'm going
It's the strength of defiance that defines a life
Can't give it clout anymore
Bless the bravest attempts to tear us down
Good luck and fuck your retort
A graven world
(There's)
A grave in the sky
I don't trust your face
(Because)
My coffin's still open
It's the bullish minds that weaken the herd
Can't let them suck all our blood
Restless fools will cry, likes wolves overheard
Tainted and reeking of spoils
A graven world
A grave in the sky
They don't trust my face
(Because)
Our coffins are open
It's flawless black and white
Our heart is on our sleeves
I'm fucking serious
We wear our hearts on our sleeves
Trust is hard to find
(But)
Decipher the worst
Money ain't much anymore
Use the strongest minds to soften the fall
Deploy your warrior blood
A graven world
(There's)
A grave in the sky
I don't trust your face
(Because)
My coffin's still open
(It's)
The wayward horde
(It's)
The weight of the bribe
Don't like this face
(Because)
Our coffins are open
A graven world
A grave in the sky
They don't trust our faces
(Because)
Dead sing through me
Uprising in shaman's translation
Archival souls
(Of)
Squandering
Transcending the threat
The tarots are burned
There'll come a time to gloat in the light
Don't stop there, levitation
This flesh claims dreams
Mars haunts the skies
Crimson and gleaming
Lay thee rebel arms free
Throttle their bones, wrangle its beasts
There'll come a time to brave the blind
(But)
Don't stop their levitation
Layman's translation morals be damned
Its ignorance paramount
(But)
Kiss sin's feet in worship
What we can't grovel in
Will master our fate
There'll come a time the cause will die
(But)
It won't stop there, levitation
go slow
cruel to himself and generous about it
cruel to the world (it's) not hard to spot it
can't give up
shut up
on a tirade
off the top of his head
so ripe becoming rotten
he's hit the wailing wall
to pass out hard upon
he's kissed the wailing wall
in the thrall of it all
failed his name with no care to hide it
failed escape it's documented
instilled or distilled
the spike or the chill
it's immolation
The lust of non-existence
he's hit the wailing wall
to pass out hard upon
he's kissed the Wailing Wall
headstone tells but nothing about him
headstone reads two decades wasted
a funeral pyre
with no one to burn it
(and nobody attending)
BECAUSE SELF DESTRUCTION BRINGS MISFORTUNE
IN THE THRALL OF IT ALL
no lower heaven
for his bones
nor handing life back
what it's owed
caretaker careless
of what he's sown
porously reaching
his lowest low
the negative has just begun
joining the war impossible...
free at last, I'm the past,
undone in unknown prison,
I'm holding on. Peace and need?
A mouth to feed?
I'm standing way on
the other side. I'm staring
right back at myself,
and through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
at my health - Lifelong
Arms in knots, never spot,
My blood is fading
on the world. Stealing keys?
Soul to me?
and to the BrotheRhood with what
writes the pain.
I'm staring
right back at myself,
and through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
at my health - Lifelong
I'm a lifer.
I'm staring
right back at myself,
and through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
at my health
In the mornin' it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on
I find it hard to smile at somethin' said
So I took control priority number one and that's me
That cut the dragons head off and put away my gun
So let it be, so let it be
I'm dyin' prematurely, I'm wastin' my life for sure
I'm tryin' to kill what's happenin' to me
A ghost along the Mississippi
Never thought before a life could be so strange, yeah
And I guess by one a day became ten or twelve more
And more and more and more
But I've got a gift it's somethin' called my friends or love
With them and I combined I'll beat an early end
It's been done before, it's been done before
Nothin' of passin' away or losin' just one more day
I'm tryin' to kill what's wrong with me, yes I'm
A ghost along the Mississippi
Can't happen to me, can't happen to me
Won't do it to me, won't do it to me no
Can't happen to me, can't happen to me
Won't do it to me no, won't do it to me, no, no
Can't happen to me, can't happen to me
Won't do it to me, won't do it to me no
Can't happen to me, can't happen to me
Won't do it to me, won't do it to me
Won't do it to me, no no
Lets go
Destroying whats got hold to me, yeah yeah
She's fucking around [incomprehensible]
Are you the fuck you are outside batters sucker?
All the fucker
You woe to me, battered man
Raise the monolith
Deitize, my spirit rise
Like days the world forgets
Down the drain, laid to lame
A fool ass hearty bliss
Borderline suicide
Celebrate before my death
(Suck all you fucks)
Promised land divide
(Promised land, that's [Inaudible])
That's why the world lies
I give up
That's enough
I give up
I'm underneath my life
Dog in heat, beware the street
It's there you'll meet your end
Poverty is not for me
But I'll take her back again
To prove a point, to laugh it off
To cross you off my path
Grip the night ohh, pull the cord
A much inspired wrath
(Inspired wrath)
Promised land divide
(The promised land doesn't [Inaudible])
That's where the world lies
(Yeah)
Promised land divide
(Hoo aaa, hoo aaa, hoo aaa)
That's where the world lies
I give up
That's enough
Give up
I'm underneath my life
Give up
That's enough
Give up
Give up
I give up
That's enough
(Give up)
Give up
I'm underneath my life
I give up
That's enough
(Yea yea yea)
Fuck you, give up
(Give up)
I'm underneath my life
(I'll tell you, no)
I'm underneath my life
(Yea yea yea, yea yea yea)
I'm underneath my life
(Yea yea yea yea yea yea)
Underneath my life
Carry me back from the war
Carry me back from the war
Carry me back from the war
I try when there is no such thing
And hide rejecting, rejecting
Reaching for a handful
(Yet still the pain goes on)
Reaching for a handful
(Yet still the pain goes on)
Reaching for a handful
(Yet still the pain goes on)
Reaching for a handful
(Yet still the pain goes on)
Countdown, countdown, countdown
From the inside looking out
And building and building and building
long day lay me low.
lay me low.
head burning drunk.
I don't need none
that's right man I'm fine
but what I've got to know,
is have I wasted time?
My eyes are blind
to almost everything you see.
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- you recognize me -
be me for a change (fucked)
under the silk,
in a box of pine,
and that's dying -
not a single other life
ever will have felt my price
is it worth the risk to be revived?
and I'm dying, I'm hollow
- It won't deny me -
be me for a change (fucked)
on the last day
they'll take it all away
on and outta my mind
gimme some medicine...
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- it won't deny me -
be me for a change (fucked)
yeah, one more time...
Windows are closing, keep it locked away
No chance was given, to find myself today
My time of aging, wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come, I know the reason why
I have to risk it, alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have to use it, to keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret rules I broke, when I die bury me in smoke
Under the world, I wait for my fate
My soul is resting beneath my blissful haze
My time of aging, wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come, I know the reason why
I have to risk it, alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have to use it, to keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret rules I broke, when I die bury me in smoke
(Smoke)
Bury me in smoke
Oh yea
Smoke
Smoke
Smoke
Smoke
In the morning, it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on, I find it hard to smile at something said
So I took control, priority number one, and that's me
Then I cut the dragon's head off, and put away my gun, so let it be
So let it be
I'm dying prematurely, I'm wasting my life for sure
I'm trying to kill what's happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi
I never thought before, a life could be so strange, but it is
And I guess my one a day, became ten or twelve or more, and more
But I've got a gift, it's something called my friends or love
With them and I combined, I'll beat an early end, it's been done before
No time of passing away, of losing just one more day
I'm trying to kill what's happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Destroying what's got ahold of me
Sometimes I feel like a man that has two broken hands
All of this thrown at me, sinking me neck deep in sand
They can't kill me no more, I don't know what to say 'cause it's lies
Lies
Underneath all this, they should see the man that I am
All of my life I've been tried and then persecuted
They can't kill me no more, I don't know what to say 'cause it's lies
Lies
Underneath all this, they should see the man that I really am
I've been tried and persecuted
Lies
Undenied
Cold shackles inches from the knife
I defy
What's mine shall be but nothing stands the time
Not surprised
It's the same to sleep as it is to rise
Lies
Undenied
Cold shackles on my hands, inches away
Death or life
Look deeply into my eyes
Fire on fire
Way to be and get a fucking ride
Some desire
A "fuck you" soars through the sky
Oh yeah, free at last, I'm the past
Undone in unknown prison, and I'm holding on
Peace and need, a mouth to feed
I'm standing way on the other side
I'm staring right back at myself
And though it's frozen
I'm laughing right back at my health
Lifelong
Arms and knots, liver spots
Undone this baby of worlds
Steal and keys, soul to me
No doubts bout my physolsify
I'm staring right back at myself
And though it's frozen
I'm laughing right back at my health
Lifelong
Lifer, lifer, lifer, lifer, lifer
Lifer, lifer, lifer, lifer
I'm staring right back at myself
And though it's frozen
I'm laughing right back at my health
Fast, a cleansed soul rebirthing
See to be and understand your flipside
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
All is cry until the laughing
There is more between the sky and earth
That is beyond our philosophy unknown
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
You want nothing in return
The closest that need you, the closest surrounding you
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away
The closest that need you, the closest surrounding you
The closest that need you, the closest surrounding you
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
We'll walk away, we'll walk away
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
And when we walk away there'll be no coming home
I feel the pressure, it lightens
to judge this spirit of mine
to be like the judgement
to be the king that is left behind
to hell with I miss you
I said I 'd do it alone
ripping apart from you
a broken vision to call my own
I gave my life to reason
so now I'm watching my life go
my wit is falling apart
I can't shake temptations wings
I can't shake temptations wings
I bury my head with frustration
and I look at others and wonder why(?)
I'm feeding my cancer
A broken vision that stole my sight
I gave my life to reason,
So now I'm watching my life go -
My wit is falling apart
I can't shake Temptation Wings!
temptations wings...
temptations wings got me pale
The rule was lost
In cities of the dead
The land around them worn
Too large to comprehend
The rife of wars
The armies in the skies
The mud of darkened pair of feet
Catholic rights
Rise of the dead
The blood upon are hands is forlorn
The size of the dread
Within our panic hearts we are erode
A grave mistake
We're right back where we started from
The grave escape
It's right back here we go
Resent yourself (resent yourself)
Misfortunes law
Is sketched within our chest
The rams head has society
The sheep among us sleep
The layman's worth
The hole above his head
His tyranny is clear
The floor beneath is gone
Rise of the dead
The word upon are hands is forlorn
The size of the dread
Within our panic hearts we erode
A grave mistake
We're right back where we started from
It's devastating
It's right back here we go
A grave mistake
We're right back where we started from
It's devastating
It's back here we go
Resent yourself
A grave mistake
We're right back where we started from
It's devastating
It's right back here we go
A grave mistake
It's right back where we started from
It's devastating
It's right back here we go
resent yourself - x19
The freedom of broken rule
My fate is now complete
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
she's crying in her sleep;
in her dreams she hears the sound of marching feet.
I'm laying in my bed
thinking of the things I should've said
the truth came out all wrong
words are weak as breath;
the chains of consequence are strong.
Tell them that we all fall down
down until our feet touch ground
tell them that I love them so
promise me you'll let them know.
The door slams in my face
love's gone without a trace
the writing's on the wall
tells the story of it all.
You thought your life was your own to do what you would
How could you do this to us?
Did you remember us waiting here, unaware?
How did you think this would end?
Crawling, to the path of the righteous
Crawling, to you again, to you again
Crawling, up and down a mountain
Crawling, then up again, then up again
[Incomprehensible]
Could you ever admit to yourself
That you must walk in the light of the past?
Not invited, to cry out loud
I'm a brother, stone cold true
Love and suffer, Siamese gold
Left divided, so I trudge on out
[Incomprehensible]
Could you ever admit to yourself
That you must walk in the light of the past?
Not invited, to cry out loud
I'm a brother, stone cold true
Love and suffer, Siamese gold
Half divided, so I trudge on
Eyes wide to reality
Crawling, up and down a mountain
Crawling, to you again
Eyes wide to reality
Crawling, up and down a mountain
Then up again
Eyes wide to reality
Crawling, I'm
Crawling, I'm
Crawling, I'm
Crawling
Smoke up, do what you must do
Wake up, inhale the earth grown fumes
Higher than mountains, but oh so goddamn deep
The morning star we reach, think for yourself
And that's you, you times a million
Look around, we surround the fields
On guard for the perfection of the seed
Perfection of the seed
Try hard to stop us which you can't
Outnumbered by the marijuana camps
Larger than nations, I can't name one without
Must kill the king of drought
Planting of pleasure, rising up, stretch towards the sky
Look around, we surround the fields
On guard for perfection of the seed
Perfection of the seed
This way of life has become an addiction
Despite right or wrong and their closed superstition
This way of life has become an addiction
Despite right or wrong, despite right or wrong
Despite right or wrong
It took a lot to sell my soul
The same thing happened yesterday
I paid my price, then felt alive
But no pulse is within my veins
Never will I lie and say I'm still alive
Come what may to me, there's something on my side
I'm left with heart, 'cause inside me's gone
Compulsion drives me anyway
I play my part and my part is large
Makes me stronger every day
Never will I lie and say I'm still alive
Come what may to me, there's something on my side
One year and it ain't so bad
I'm trying to see things clearly
The clearer it gets, the more I'm confused
I'm thinking more about blindness
Thinking hard about blindness
Thinking purely of blindness
There's something on my side
There's something on my side
There's something on my side
goddamn!
this time it's real,
it's a love that I feel.
I may be tainted but god knows
it's good to me, 'cause you see -
I leave my woes at
stranger's road dispose,
and let the sun back on my face.
It's a soul sense of pride,
good lord the south is blind,
but she gives me
so much sufferage with my pain,
I feel the strain
when I get behind a big slow day
I've fucked it all
was that down? was that family?
I leave my woes at
stranger's road dispose.
and let the sun back in my face.
It's a soul sense of pride,
good lord the south is blind,
but she will never
let me go back to being sane
but please let me die there...
cold war leaves me there...
I do one thing, I do it well
It takes up most of my time
The advantage is beyond me
This curse behind my eyes
My dead disguise don't work so well
Transparent to the world
But in my heart, if it bothers me
I'd kill myself and curl
I'm falling far from the sun
Lucifer's calling on ears that need some now
I gave my life to this and it's fooled me oh so well
The name they've given me is a man that follows hell
A man that follows hell
To live outside a city of grief where the quiet becomes pain
The human mind, and it's hard to believe, is the knife that splits the brain
Some may say I've got it made, what's all the crying for
It's a mirror I've got, a reflection of my loved ones out the door
I'm calling out to you all
Lucifer's falling, so far down
I gave my life to this and it fooled me oh so well
The proper term for me is a man that follows hell
A man that follows hell
A man that follows hell
My time, all my life
some way, I saved
the memory, the pending,
the family, surround me
a god given time,
a god given gift of life.
a time to take away,
to kill the pain,
to give me to the ground.
the pills, the windowsill
razorblade, great escape
so lonely, the feeling,
the slipping, the bleeding
good lord where are you found?
carry judgement way underground
did you laugh at me, now alone?
shoulda changed my way by now...
hero...
a god given time,
a god given gift of life.
a time to take away,
to kill the pain,
A bout of deep depression.
Can't seem to move it forward.
My lying eyes lie awake.
Not sure what I am after.
I never died before.
Can't live what happened yesterday.
I never stoned the crow, no.
Flip through endless stories.
A life of hand-written pain.
No one can share this hurt that is mine, mine, mine.
I never died before.
Can't be what happened yesterday.
I shouldn't stone the crow, no.
Ride on!
Same old city, same old pain.
No matter how I try,
No matter what I say,
I'm blamed, I'm shamed,
I'm judged unfairly.
So now I've died before.
It feels as bad as yesterday.
I never stoned the crow, no.
You too have died before.
It's more than less of yesterday.
Started from the start
Wearing out the headstones
Was the end, was the right
Taking out a life loan
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross lay behind my head
When taken by the undertaker
No questions anymore
It's higher than the black sky
Get you lower than the floor
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross looking down on me
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross hanging over me
I was just a young boy
My father sounded crazy
My death he couldn't bear to see
Either joking, sleeping, lazy
Hey, old man
When you're going six feet down
I gotta make that promise to you
A stained glass cross lay behind your head
Hey, old man
When you're going under and down
I made a secret promise to you
Been to this place before, excavation
Scrawling a name again
Touch stony face restored
Can't read the name, collapsible fingertips
Weeping within the hot of desert weeps
To brood inside the skull of wax and time
Taking no step alone until you can
Crying on the downed stones
Crying on the downed stones
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
(Pillamyd)
Oh, pillamyd
Lust in the vessel head, working with slaves
Dust in the eyes of men
Offer nocturnal prayer, alter ablaze
Magic obtained, deciphering pain
Moving inside you when you seem asleep
Influence all to step beyond the gate
When you're slipping in preservative
Hydroglyphic downed stones
Hydroglyphic downed stones
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
(Pillamyd)
Oh pillamyd
A pillamyd built
Pillamyd guilt inside
[Incomprehensible]
It's etched in stone
It's etched in stone
It's etched in stone
It's etched in stone
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
(Pillamyd)
By handfuls you will build a pillamyd
Sick of a sickness, a reoccurring nightmare of
Convulsing through slow tempo dance
Liberation requiem, stamped out curriculum
Oh, that doppelganger laughing, manifesting wings
The dark side, the dark side
Drop trip
Lost on a trip, no acid can supply
Because L.S.D. ain't what it used to be for me
Inside of dead weight standing, speaking with authority
Black smoke is swirling upward masking
The dark side, misanthropy skin deep
The dark side, the children of extremes
The dark side, will warn a fool indeed
The dark side, you'll have to carry that weight
You fight, you will fight
Against the strands, so ill advised
The dark side, misanthropy skin deep
The dark side, the children of extremes
The dark side, will warn a fool indeed
The dark side, you'll have to carry that weight
I'll fight, I will fight
Against the strands, so ill advised
We'll never know when
Someday will bring our own
Sudden
Last time, last time, last time, last time
Last time
I'll fight
You say you want a revolution
I'll fight
You say you want a revolution
I will fight, I will fight
And carry that weight
You say you want a revolution
I'll fight
You say you want a revolution
I will fight, I will fight
Mourn
Hotel room of doom
I can't find a clue
Confusion broken hearted woe
Sheets and pillows soaked
My telephone seems broken
I'm calling crucified
Blacklisted no reply
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Stole my sight but not my heart
I miss my second home
Adopted son doth mourn
Adopted son doth mourn
Sermon served in praise
In a sacred empty space
Pit no ones sorrow against your own
Seven days in vain
The last three spent inflamed
I stand crucified
As they're stricken blind
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Stole my sight but not my heart
Missing the lone state home
My blood runs cold, I mourn
Stole my sight but not my heart
I miss my second home
Adopted son doth mourn
Mourn, yeah, yeah
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Stole my sight but not my heart
Missing the lone state home
My blood runs cold, I mourn
Stole my sight but not my heart
I miss my second home
All scorn me
A monster should be feared
Witch hunt blame
Regret and damn the day
I scream
Fallen leaves
From the same family tree
Wind blown halves
Regret is all that's left, all that's left
Words cut deeply, no secrecy
So long since seeing, my life time appealing
The two are not healing
I cannot help feeling regret, regret
Reflecting on our memories
We know the pains of living
And I know he's seeing both of we
Regret he would not want to be
I scream
I scream
I scream
I scream
I scream
I scream
I scream
I scream
The 1800s, before the inception
Of modern day ideals
Fake grip of appeals
Straight to the street run, no barroom virgin
Double vision, cocaine
To a whorehouse of pain
New Orleans is a dying whore
Naked she sleeps on my floor
New Orleans is a dying whore
The spreading highway
To the underwater staircase
Leading up to a black room
To leave there you're a fool
Mob world politics
So broke it can't fix
Trapped in a time zone
There's no place like home
New Orleans is a dying whore
If ?? break down the door
New Orleans is a dying whore
New Orleans is a dying whore
Stripped down and beat to the floor
New Orleans is a dying whore
New Orleans is a dying whore
Blood covered, stuck to my floor
Close the door
Lay in bed
Cigarette
Aching head
Never try, never try
You either do it
Or don't waste my time
No, no, never try
Frustration
Out patient
Handcuffed man
To himself
Navigate slowly
A step at a time
Towards the law
Never try, never try
You either do it
Or don't waste your time
Never try, never try
You either do it
Or don't waste your life
Never try, never try, never try
You either do it, do it, do it
Or don't waste the time
Shreds of life
Eyes cried dry
Touch no thing
Burned outright
Navigate slowly
A step at a time
Towards the law
Never try, never try
You either do it
Or don't waste your time
Never try, never try
You either do it
Or don't waste your life
Never try, never try
You either do it
Setting sail from a crushed rooftop
Fathoms deep, shallow as a raindrop
Attempt to feel 20/20 now
React like gasoline cornered by a house fire
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
Beneath the tides of the washout
Beneath the tides of the washout
Cut from the filthy cloth
A sucking would left in our chests
Being burned around the heart
The boil under your flesh
Hidden at home
Chasing a tucked tail now
Acting on the instinct
Of self haphazard yet
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
Beneath the tides of the washout
Beneath the tides of the washout
Beneath the tides of the washout
The saving down, the saving down, the saving down
In milligrams with a gun in your hand
Directionless, directionless
Memories of combat on your head
Rain can't soak what is not there
Rain can't soak what is not there
Rain can't soak what is not there
Rain can't soak what is not there
The first thrill demands another
Consequence, the trigger of the operative
Playing Russian roulette with a full chamber
Miserable outcome, one and the same want to know
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
You can't come clean
(Beneath the tides of the washout)
You can't come clean
(Beneath the tides of the washout)
You can't come clean
(Beneath the tides of the washout)
In the washout
Beneath the tides of the washout
In the washout
Beneath the tides of the washout
You couldn't ever come clean
Woe to me, battered man
raise the monolith
deitize my spirit rise
like days the world forgets - down the
drain - laid to lame
a fool-ass hearty bliss
borderline suicide,
celebrate before my death
your promised land divide,
that's why the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
dog in heat, beware the street
its there you'll meet your end
poverty is not for me,
but I'll take her back again
to prove a point,
to laugh it off, to cross you off my path,
grip the night, pull the cord,
a much inspired wrath.
your promised land divide,
that's where the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
carry me back from the war
Lightning struck down twice
Black man lantern fire

Stone throw ruled up high

RBG's, RBG's, nigga it's that RBG's
RBG's, RBG's, nigga it's that RBG's
Tell me are you down? When it's goin' down
You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down
Homey tell me are you down? When it's goin' down
You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down
Homey tell me are you down?
Have you ever had a lesson from a OG?
From a nigga that's been in the war
Been locked up longer than I been on the earth
And his crime is defendin' the poor
And they can tell you bout death, tell you 'bout life
But most of all they tell you 'bout sacrifice
And they can tell if a woman ain't with you when you down
'Cause she never really could be your wife
What it mean to be D-O-W-N?
Is you homies still down when it's trouble you in?
You wanna have a good time make it hot
When the pigs come down on the block
Would they fuck with you then?
Now you wanna get high wit me, organize wit me
Start a clothes drive then maybe we can start a fire
Where my RBG's? My guerillas wit a GUE
Don't got a I-Ching homey get free
Who number one when we ride? We follow the plan
And there's a role for every man
With a chain of command even when the shit hit the fan
Anything get outta hand we still stand
To me bein' down mean more than bein friends, or kin
We comrades we struggle, through any trouble
Sacrifice my life in combat for you
So you know I gotta love you I'm down for my brothers
And sisters, fuck the system, bust your pistols, nigga I'm with you
Just put a rag on ya face when you ride
You don't want them satellites to take your picture
We gotta have a lot of discipline and it comes from within'
It's not somethin' you pretend, homey
A lot of niggas be talkin' that shit
When it really goes down it be gone with the wind, homey
Can't be no tower, gotta get this power by any means
Gotta know yourself and your enemy
When you puttin' it down for your family
Can't tell by no tattoo, can't tell by no handshake
It's scarred in the heart, bein' down is an attitude
Doin' what you gotta do, for the crew's sake
My definition of a soldier, revolutionary, military minded
And ready for whatever
Nigga hope for the best and prepare for the worst
Stay aware be alert bomb first, don't tell
Tell me are you down? When it's goin' down
You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down
Homey tell me are you down? When it's goin' down
You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down
Rain on me cause I deserve it
I deserve it,deserve it,deserve it
Shame on me for wanting to love you
I might have been more faithful
Thought I never existed
All the while you were plotting my death
Plotting my death,plotting my death
Let's take our last breath together
May love bring us light as the world spins round
You and me are taking everyone down
And there you are why should I care
Now I know you hear me
Plotting my death,plotting my death
Let's take our last breath together
May love bring us light as the world spins round
You and me are taking everyone down
And there you are why should I care now
Now I know you hear me
You and I are angry but at who?
Is it me? Is it you?
Why is love so cruel
Who sent you, who sent you
Who sent you,who sent you
May love bring us light as the world spins round
You and me are taking everyone down
And there you are why should I care
Now I know you hear me
You and I are angry but at who
Is it me? Is it you?
Why is love so cruel
Who sent you, who sent you
my brain distorts the pleasure,
no facts behind my eyes.
this pain I've come to treasure,
being down has become my life...
don't know which one is real,
been kicked in the groin
I drown the way I feel,
thoughI will to go
Losing all
I'm lord of misery
I'm king of the hill
I'm a broken man of the world
in a state of
my wrists are slit,
I'm losing all.
gun at my head,
I'm losing all.
my bones are broken,
I'm losing all
last time I had,
I'm losing all
I've come so close, it's almost hard to believe
When you're up close, it blinds you brilliantly
Just one rush can change your life forever
Just one push can end it all together
Why can't we learn from the plague that surrounds us
Learn from my mistakes
Learn from this mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from their mistakes
There's no shoulder to cry on when you have no shame
There's no finger to point when you are to blame
Open book, in my eyes shows you rain, then storming
I can't look, when covered by the nothing and the suffering
Learn from my mistakes
Learn from this mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from their mistakes
Learn from my mistake
Believe me, all my friends, in the ending of the story
There's no junkie out there with a happy ending
It consumes you, and haunts you like the devil
It's the art of the process that kills off all the rebels
Learn from this mistake
Learn from my mistake
Learn from our mistake
Lords, can it be mistakes
Throughout the constant vows of the lost and gone, blind and wrong
Inside a faith without a home, a fire that is cold
But grows so well, who's to tell, about it all
A nation cannot see, the hardest part to take
Is not for me, the dying trees
This is what wars are made of
Haunted...
The readings cracked and grey and plagiarized to date
Altered by the bastards of pure disguise of seas and skies
The pagan drums should wake, the sleeping of the fools to forget the
church's language
Who's the fool, me or you
The greatest mask of fate, the longest battle through the text of great
predictions
For me and you, the old and new
This is what wars are made of
Haunted...
One day, the strain
I've never felt like this before
Our lives capsized, one man will give back
Be clm my love
Why don't you kneel for me?
I write for sight
One day you'll find me in the corner
More sublime,
that brave river, I can't sail.
because of that lone feeling,
that I might fail.
So fuck it.
I just smoke let me feel stoned
6th hour.
I still fail to rise,
and I cower in
reality's eyes, so I
just smoke
let me feel stoned
let that paranoia cut
my head off.
I'm low down
crying shame today smoke stoned
I have fallen
scattered the wave
alone I'm crying
broken shade
So I just smoke let me feel stoned
I can't feel you
you can't brave (the river?)
no more sadness no more pain
not what feeds you but what raves
Slow time, deaf to all the hearing
Blinded to the seeing, nothing's so revealing
Some day I might leave here
I'll get what's comin' to me one day
These days my eyes are empty
Hard times for the son of a bitch
Self inflicted, I'm gonna fall flat
Unpredicted, that's where I'm at
So addicted, dog tired in the fast lane
Break down, devastate to kneeling
Suffering to bleeding, all the chance of feeling
Some day I might destroy here
I'm gonna get what's coming to me one day
These days my life is empty
Hard times for the son of a bitch
Self inflicted, I'm gonna fall flat
Unpredicted, that's where I'm at
So addicted, dog tired in the fast lane
Dog tired in the fast lane
Dog tired in the fast lane
Dog tired in the fast lane
Dog tired in the fast lane
Self inflicted, I'm gonna fall flat
Unpredicted, that's where I'm at
So addicted, dog tired in the fast lane
You can't fool the fool, 'cause I know it in my head
I just want the people to get some before they're dead
You can take my body and dry it in the sun
Seeing vultures circle overhead
This is the home of the beautifully depressed
Life is just a moment that rushes all at once
Letting the vultures surround me when I'm dead
I am the lord of the beautifully depressed
Endlessly, cum for me
Faithfully, bend for me
Lifelessly, hang for me
Endlessly, endlessly
Push me to the limit
I ain't afraid to die
Drive me to the limit
I proudly pledge to die
I dispell the madness by forgetting all the rules
You say I follow in the footsteps of pre-existing fools
Begging vultures to bury off my head
This is the hard life of the beautifully depressed
Endlessly, cum for me
Faithfully, bend for me
Lifelessly, hang for me
Endlessly, endlessly
Push me to the limit
I ain't afraid to die
Look before you're in it
Are you afraid to die
Then join the beautifully depressed
Pray to someone
I'm going out of my head
Dislocate
Stay safe in your unmade bed
Lysergik funeral procession
The world is watched
Straight from your TV sets
Makes you ill
Turn off and drop out in spurts
Lysergik funeral procession
I get up, get ready to face this world
I come down
I come down so hard, I hit then bounce
In a pool of piss I lay
Once revived, I was better off like I was
In so many pieces
And I'm so damn mad, so fucking mad
To lose that special darkness
Crumbling world falls through my hands
In my mouth taste bitter sands.
Grass is burning, pulse is slow.
Drip by drip my backwards growth... crawl.
Fade to hate.
And I'll die within my fade
Wine, song, women, birth
This deflowered mother earth
Planting, plowing, how she grieves.
The seeds that grow these dying trees
Remember when you picked up the phone
You said I like how you taste
I kept a picture of you that leaves me running in place
I'm a mess I'm worse with words
There's no time left to explain
I would've given you the world
Now I would love to see your face when
I tell you you're never gonna be here tonight
You bring me down when you're awake
I'll get it right
I'm just to blame for everything
Don't call me I don't want to hear a word you ever say
Because you bring me down
Whenever you're awake
Thought I'd be the one you hated
Everything sucks when you're around
I hope like hell you find a better guy
Someone who loves all the lies, laughs whenever you cry
Stays out late to hang out with the guys
I hope you swallow your words
I hope you choke on the lies
You'll never be here tonight
You bring me down when you're awake
I'll get it right, I'm just to blame for everything
Don't call me I don't want to hear a word you ever say
Because you bring me down
Whenever you're awake
[x2]
And then you call me on the phone
And say you miss the way I laugh
The way I speak
The way I leave like were never coming back (we're never coming back)
You bring me down when you're awake
I get it right, I'm just to blame for everything
Don't call me I don't want to hear a word because you bring me down
You bring me down when you're awake
I'll get it right, I'm just to blame for everything
Don't call me I don't want to hear a word you ever say
Because you bring me down
and i ask myself again
what i got myself into
but its late at night again
and thats not shomething i should do
but with all the time i spend
i'd still rather lie to you
as an old best friend
until the very end
take a chance and speak the truth
they've never lied to you
the floor is my best friend
i've come to visit you again
if you would just let go
someone else could hold my head
say a sentence that makes sense
so we can all go home to bed
i will not fall back down
It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
As we will go down
We will fall down
One day I will go into a new state of mind I guess
Until that day
I'll try to know my name
I try to blink but go numb
So it throws mud in my eye
I gasp for air but there's none
My lungs explode inside
I should know better than to let things get to me
I should know better than to let let them get to me
I should know better than to let let you get to me
I should know better than to let me get to me
It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
So you will go down
Someone´s watching me from somewhere
when everything is breaking down
Bare me to your temple mother
let me die another day
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
One step further led me nowhere
I was stuck inside this haunted house
Why was I shown all this glory
Heaven help me come around
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
I will deny eternity, I will deny eternity
as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
What the hell was I thinking
Every time you get close to me
It feels like I'm sinking
And now that I'm in to deep
I'm coming up for air
And I know you couldn't care
It's not hard to believe
And you're killing me
I'll let you drag me down
Is there a reason you're still around
Yeah, you're pulling me under
It's harder than you know
How easy it could be
To let you go
And I cringe when you speak
And life isn't easy like you think
And I begged and I'll plead to let you go
And I've known you way too long to take this slow
Cause I'll let you drag me down
Is there a reason you're still around
Yeah, you're pulling me under
It's harder than you know
How easy it could be
To let , to let you go
Drag me down cause I don't want to be around
When you're still here
I just want to forget these past few years
You'll always be here
Right where I left you
And that's fine
I'll let you drag me down
Is there a reason you're still around
Yeah, you're pulling me under
It's harder than you know
How easy it could be
I would never wanna be lonely, although I'm not alone, I mean lonely from my heart,
like you don't know where you belong. I would never wanna lose my joy in life, my
one and ev'rything. I'm glad that I'm alive. But somewhere deep inside, there's
emotions that I cannot hide and every time I'm feeling bad, I'm being pulled inside.
The deeper I'll be falling, the louder I'll be calling...can't you see me falling?
I'm going down...
I could never picture myself sinking all the way, so I'd be too alone, to even get
away, but I could really picture myself feeling this way, it hurts so much I never
ever wanna feel this way...down, down, going down, I'd be going all around. My head
would be shaking like a merry-go-around. My body's aching and my bones they're
shaking, as I'm moving on down, can't you see I'm aching...I'm down...I'm going
down...all the way down...I'm going down...Help me!!!
You don't wanna be seeing what I'm seeing right now...
You don't wanna be doing what I'm doing right now...
You don't wanna be feeling what I'm feeling right now...
You don't wanna be me...see me!
I just wanna be the way that I used to be...
I just wanna be doing what I used to do...
I just wanna be feeling what I used to feel...
I just wanna be me...See me!
But I'm going...I'm going down!!!
I'm your fear, I'm your monster
What's hiding in your shadow?
Is it taking what's left of you
Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you
You're burning out (What's left of you?)
Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now (What's left of you?)
See no fear, speak no evil
Are you screaming out to no one
As you fall down a mountain of pride
I feel you, my eyes wide open
I feel you, do you think you can save yourself in time
I'm finding out what's left of you
You're burning out (What's left of you?)
Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now (What's left of you?)
What you see, what tears into you
Behind the wheel that leads you
Are you facing a truth that won't die?
Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you
I'm finding out what's left of you
You're burning out (What's left of you?)
You're king of doubt, you're choking
Way down, way down now, what's left of you
What's left of you, you're burning out
What's left of you, choking on doubt
You're choking
the lunatic says goodbye to those who say they love him
he's wise within himself though this craziness surrounds him
from his lips come truth within insanity
and people passing by don't hear and cannot see
cursing the darkness
visions inside his head look like mine
oh just like mine
his words so true oh they're used against him
oh his children smile because they know he loves them
cursing the darkness
look back on innocence in vain
look ahead it's still the same old game
I cannot sit back, shed my broken skin
Curse my pride, I react, play yourself again
Up, down and down again
You live in a computer, you're an instant man
Judged and told I can't, cut your shallow hands
How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see when you see me?
I can't reach you
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me with you
Step back, now that I know you
I know, you're down for no one
I bow down to no one, you like the faith
Stand behind me, find your way
You know you will decide
Move on with me or step aside
I could have lost my life
And I'm made to risk it one more time
How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see when you see me?
I can't reach you
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me with you
Step back, now that I know you
I know, you're down for no one
I can't reach you
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me with you
Step back, now that I know you
I know you're down for no one
I can't reach you
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me, take a piece of me
I saw you first time in the dinner hall
You looked like a girl that never will fall
You smiled a sweet smile as I touch your hand
Never throught about you will drive me mad
You - gimme what you got to give
You - bring me into seventh heaven
I - follow you you and I believe

You're doing things turnn'me round
But you were bringin' me - down
I've found it out what it's all about
The way you're treatin' me - down
We had good times all day's an nights
Often ending in strong fights
I never knew a girl like you
But baby, I'm not lovin' you!
You - only give if you can take
And you - will bring me down one day
I will - treat you like you do
Cause I will be the illness for you ref
You get more weak under my hand
We do a nice trip into horror - land
C'mon little baby drink your wine
And recognize that your body's mine
You - gimme what you got to give
And I - bring you into seventh heaven
Now you - follow me and must believe
That I - treat you if it's right for me
Now I'm doing things turning me round
And I will bring you - down
Have you found it out what, it's all about?

You don't look hard to find
What's deep in your mind
It's easier to hate than see
Your convictions of stone
You kill off your own
You desperately want to be
Masses dead inside open up your eyes
You're broken and cold seeing your blindsight
Why's humankind going down
Am i the only one that can see it
Am i the only one that can feel it
Why's the human mind slowing down
Am i the only one that can see it
Am i the only one - why am I going down
Your going down sucker
Yeah sucker down
I see through your disguise
Your self-righteous lies
Destroy what you don't understand
I cannot help but feel
That time doesn't heal
Impressions that will never mend
I have come to realize
When i look in your eyes
down
stay down
oh stay down
just stay down
little fingers pushing
little fingers push me over
little fingers push me
little fingers push me over
I can see the skinny trees singing
I can hear the church bells ringing
I can see the skinny trees singing
I can hear the church bells ringing
oh stay down
just stay down
oh stay down
just stay down
I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna take you down
down

oh stay down

I had a dream, yo tuve un sueño
no fue un wet dream, fue como un leño
cars on fire, buildings falling
when they saw the guns, the police where crying
Soldiers celebrating with the brothers
just the beginning of a new world order.
Donde quiera you can hear some bongos
las nenas se meneaban al ritmo del Gran Combo.
Up at the big house, estaban cagao
decian, oh my God, que brugo nos han hechao.
Too much of getting f**ked for free
time to taste some anarchy
no policy, no traffic lights, no I.D.
Shit was the money of the company
everybody on your own with a big fat joint
live how you want, bro, that's my point.
Down, down to the basics
Close, close to creation
High, high with the spirits
It's not the end, it's just the beginning.
La ley del sorullo, busca tu lo tuyo,
oyeme capullo que el negrito ese es tuyo
seguro, que va ha cer una guerra
que rompa las calles pa que respire la tierra
que vieja, esta pa otra reforma
demasiadas reglas, demasiadas normas
siga mi gente, su corazon
a ver si de chivo reaparece el amor
Puya no trabaja pa' ninguna asociacion
ustedes son la causa y Puya la institucion
get to work, pass information
dress onw way for unification
revolutions's in your face
take a look at the cyber space
so quema todo el lujo
siembra pal futuro
I've got a low self-esteem today
My inner strength is slowly seeping away
Won't someone come and wake me?, problems I have
I feel no life, I feed the pride, don't take my self-esteem
Break down my walls of pain
Break down my walls of pain
Break down my walls of pain
Won't you lay my bitterness?
With my eyes seperated by day
I'm alone
With nothing to call my own
So alone
Throw it away
I'm so lonely
Throw it away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I'm so lonely
Celebrate the aging of my new skill
Won't you celebrate the aging of my old skill?
Somebody told me I was wasted
Somebody told me I was gone
Somebody told me I was useless
Somebody told me...
I've got a low self-esteem today
My inner strength is slowly seeping away
Won't someone come and wake me?, problems I have
I feel no life, I feed the pride, don't take my self-esteem
Break down my walls of pain
Break down my walls of pain
Break down my walls of pain
Won't you lay my bitterness?
I need some company
I need you tonight
You don't have to talk to me
And don't be polite
Take my body and soul
I feel so old
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
Just lay down beside of me
You know what I like
Take what you want from me
We don't have to fight
Take my body and should
I feel so old
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
And you comfort me
Until my legs go weak
Hold me closer
We won't speak
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
Oh we all keep falling
All down
Down, down, down, down
Look what you're doing to me
'Cause I don't want you to leave
Wish I could stop you somehow
But you're out of plain now
I want you please to come back to me
(Back to me)
I need you with me to make it
(I need you with me to)
If this is how it's meant to be, boy
Then I just can't take it
I'm so down
When I'm not around you
(When I'm not around you, baby)
I'm so down I feel so blue
When I can't see you
(When I can't see you)
I've got this feeling in me
And I just can't seem to breathe
As I look up in the sky
You never say goodbye
I want you please to come back to me
(Back to me)
I need you with me to make it
(I need you with me to)
If this is how it's meant to be, boy
Then I just can't take it
Why do you hurt me so much, boy?
You make me feel down
But I'm hurting and hoping and praying

Gray days of past
Could colors decide about life ?
Gray heavens forecast the ruin
The race to survive takes not a look at us
One step and it`s over
Dread is the zone which separates us
The waves getting higher
In one moment my life will go to the end
Over is the time of hate and regret
Nothing is like in the past
Hear and believe
Warm colors
You can see
Without fear of darkness
Crying fall, I`m down
I live my life without you
Feeling alone until the end
A big ocean will take our souls
This is the sea of the unknown
We had learned to avoid this water
Too bad, she don't love you no more
And I've a half a mind to give her a call
Curled up in a ball
Is that where you are
Is that where you are
Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
I never wished you any harm
But Karma has a certain charm
My dad always used to say
You never run up a tab, you don't eventually have to pay
Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Buy a book that'll teach you how to relate
Then tell her all the things you learned too late
In time, the pain will go away
And you'll be free to love and lose another day
Mind what you do
Cause as you see, things come back to you
What do you want from me?
I'm not sorry
That you are down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
descent in line from innocence
from blood this love defiles me
unchosen - yet it holds our restraint
through this child you will live again
i breathe life through you
i breathe life through
what you believe - through me
dependant in my helpless state
you work on my emotional fate
take out this part of me
which turns me into you
imprint your words in mentality
pass on your own self righteous faith
explain reason in your own wisdom
your failures will live again
imprisoned under fate's own hereditory leader
can i overcome what this dependance fractured
or will you stay here?
fight through this bloodline of distorted pictures
subtract from the mind this broken experience
not to live again
Tell me, how does it feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you say to me
You make me feel like nothing
Like nothing
When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing
And tell me, how should I feel
And all the games you play, on me
You still make feel like nothing
Like nothing
When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing
(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(And all the things you do)
(Like nothing, like nothing, like nothing)
Tell me, how should this feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you do, to me
This makes me feel like nothing
Like nothing
When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing
When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing
(When you break me down)
(Break me down)
Wonder what the day will bring tomorrow when I wake
Do I decide to dwell upon mistakes I haven't made
Maybe I'm afraid
So I try (I try to find the words to explain)
Why I feel so down
Don't ask why
I could care less of the world outside
One more time
I'll come out of the dark of my mind
Who knows what I find
Still I try (I try to find the words to explain)
So I look for a dark place to hide
Must be a reason I do
Why do I
Seem unsatisfied?
Raise this spine
Run from bottom on up
Color come on
Bring your blessings outside
Step round a window
Huddle self game bare
Shiver pause for falling
Trance to ingest lava dust
Ease trust catalyst
Down
Down
Low release a rise altered swoon
Down
Down
Spiral churn then suffer some calm
Still trip complaining
Web tangle my word
Love bound in lonely
Unmotion owned
Catch shibboleth grin
Devil dream to shoulder sphere
Find base to balance
Rattle shake martyr myth
Ring a pretty path
Down
Down
Low release a rise altered swoon
Down
Down
This is the after show party
DJ turn up the sound
All the ladies getting dirty
Like Christina, get down
They're all up in my grill
Like I'm the talk of the town
I cast an eye at you, go with you
I wanna get down
The sky's our limit, baby can't you see?
Just let yourself go, put your trust in me
I wanna take you to a higher ground
But I can't reach you if you don't go down
Down, down, deep in your heart
Tear down the walls that surround you
Down, down, let yourself fall
I'm ready girl, straight into my arms
Down, down, down, d-d-d-d-down
This is going deep {deep}
Like base and beat
Punching in your soul
A flex is like me
Check your fingers
Bring you a meal
Girl, I'm digging your dance
Wait a minute, wait a minute
You say giddiup
Man, sky's the limit
Can you feel it?
The sky's our limit, baby can't you see?
Just let yourself go, put your trust in me
I wanna take you to a higher ground
But I can't reach you if you don't go down
Down, down, deep in your heart
Tear down the walls that surround you
Down, down, let yourself fall
I'm ready girl, straight into my arms
Go deeper, deeper
All the way down
Go deeper, deeper
Only you can go there
Only you can go there
We've got the same mind
Finally we can meet eye to eye
Baby go, take me to a higher ground
With you I wanna get down
Down, down, let yourself fall
Straight into my arms
I'm ready girl
Down, down, deep in your heart
Tear down the walls that surround you
Down, down, let yourself fall
Straight into my arms
Down, down, deep in your heart
Tear down the walls that surround you
Down, down, let yourself fall
Hiding behind the walls that I've
fashioned here in hindsight, Keeping
up the mask of the lies that have
scarred my life tearing apart
my flesh, for my flesh I feel this killing spree
Now that you've gone and said it
boy, can't you keep from dealing
me, Talking about the other times,
thought that I'd set you free, Saving
the flesh to kill the spirit
Down, Down, finding my way around
Down, Down, turning my life around
All of my life I've tried to
get away from this, Talking
about the way that I can
sabotage my play, Now
I stand here, another
broken life come on boy,
get up or get real
Taking another look
at the reality I've made,
do I get up, to get up, or
do I crumble Learning to face
my fears, with God by my side come
on boy, get up or get down
Trying to keep this failure in my life
to a minimum doing it by myself
and the fear becomes a synonym
Trying to forget the reason for all
this pain come on boy get up or get real
Giving away this Hell that I began
to call my life starting to see an
ending to the frailty of strife
kneeling down fave first before the
You don't remember what to say, don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go, don't remember what to choose,
You will, you steal, you feel, you'll kneel
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
[x2]
Seen the rain cloud followed me for years
But never would let it bother me
Now when the lightning cracks
I think I would never be where I'm at
Cause it had an impact growing up
Think back I was way too young then to know enough
About the liberty my mum had given me
Then the reaper stole her soul [?],
My first friend I ever knew of
The worst thing forgot about him when I grew up,
Cause when we went and moved away to Broom, Perth
Wasn't doing much, not for the two of my parents,
Staring the journey in the eye,
We drove 4 days and then 3 nights and just like that
We started a new life and just like that
On a bus watching fights, and maybe we'd fight back
Till one of them stayed down, it wasn't the right track
If this is my playground, the day drowned out
The years passed by now just found out
My mum and dad needed time out,
Why now, we just settling in and then we fly out, never together again
Could have severed a limb with the pain,
Could have pointed the blame but I will not kneel
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
[x2]
I was twelve nah actually I think I was thirteen,
Well darker the day that I first seen
The hell mark in the arm of my friend couldn't tell
But it felt like a part of me ended
Depended on crew to lead the way
They sent the wrong message and lead us astray
I was able to see the phase was fatal,
Some crave the painful life and they pay full price
For direction, addiction, attraction
Every little restriction fell through the cracks in the pavement
A slave to the underwhelmed,
Wasn't one to tell them that it was dumb as hell,
And the summer melt them so they stayed in the shade,
Get burnt playing with fire, get cut playing with razors,
Amazing how all changes,
Amazing how all the popular bullies became lamers,
It's a page in the chapter of the living,
Have to put in practice when your rap's unforgiven,
But far the times, stars inline, then you missed your chance
But you can not kneel down
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
Between you and I
You seem to have control
Never giving in
For love even though
You can't stand or breathe without me here
How long do you think you can keep from going
Down
I think you want me
To fall down
Down
I know you want me
To fall
Between you and I
You have the upper hand
Foreseeing this change
Only 'cause you can
And you've been waiting here for so so long
How long do you think you can keep from going
And I'm watching you fall down
And I'm watching you fall down
And I'm watching you fall down
And I'm watching you fall
And I'm watching you fall down
Watching you fall down
Watching you fall down
I think you want me
Where is the sign?
Been waiting all this time
And the thought that comes to mind
Maybe there's nothing to find
Where is the light?
So far out of sight
Maybe there's nothing to be found
And all I am right now
Is down, down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Where are my dreams?
And where is my sign?
There must be something to be found
Cos all I am right now
Is down, down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
I am not who you are
You are on higher ground
Not sure what to say
Won't make a sound
I am not who you are
You are on higher ground
Not sure what to say
I am feeling down
Oh I am tired
I'll stay in for a while
I'm not so good to have around
Cos all I am right now
Is down, down down down down down down down down
Wounds don't heal right when carved from the inside.
Scars don't go away not even in time.
I wanted to be what you needed from me.
You're blind but when will you see?
It feels like I've been down here one too many times before.
It's cold and it's dark and I don't want to feel it anymore.
It feels like I've been down here one too many times before.
And I don't want to know.
Cries go unheard when laid upon deaf ears.
An embrace once shared, replaced by a cold stare.
I would give you my heart, it's worth everything.
You're blind but when will you see?
It feels like I've been down here one too many times before.
It's cold and it's dark and I don't want to feel it anymore.
It feels like I've been down here one too many times before.
And I don't want to know.
Why does it have to be like this?
Why does it have to feel like this?
Why does it have to end like this?
I feel like I've died, I've been down so long.
You and I, me and you,
At the point of no return.
Love is a lie, love is blue,
And the blue things never burn.
Who's gonna catch you when you fall?
The frozen stars above,
Keep on shining on to you.
We're moving down, down, down
And the world keeps turning on just from the start,
I keep my favorite moments deep inside my heart. (2X)
Jesus Christ, neon lights,
And a call from outter space.
throughout romance, hold me tight,
while the falseness burns my faith.
Believe in television lies,
like action movie heroes,
Waiting for a happy end.
We're moving down, down, down
And the world keeps turning on just from the start,
I keep my favorite moments deep inside my heart. (2X)
We're moving down (3x)
We're moving down, down, down
And the world keeps turning on just from the start,
Out with ya friends
Pull up in your mums mercedes benz
Looking super cool
Step out of your ride, youve got it all
But thats when you close the door and your jeans get all caught up
In a moment of troubled thoughts you decide to take em off
Youre causing some tension
It got their attention
Theres no need to mention
Baby, that your trousers just fell down
Just keep on walking and keep them all talking
They'll never know your trousers just fell down
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
You got a new belt
Youre ready to make all the girls hearts melt
And got some brand new jeans
But theyre so hot that youre naked underneath
Then somebody spills your drink and it looks like
You pissed your pants
In a moment of troubled thoughts you take em off and start to dance
Youre causing some tension
It got their attention
Theres no need to mention
Baby, Your trousers just fell down
Do what a man would and show off your man hood
They'll never know your trouses just fell down
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
My trousers fell to my knees
I just feel like free willy
Dont watch the size of me, Im not usually this cold you see
BEHOLD
Im such a tease
I brought these jeans from over seas
I thougt that they were burberry but turns out they were shmurberrys
And I cant get a refund please
I cant afford my groceries
And they keep falling too my knees
When Im out on a pussy spree
It went down hill when I was three
When my dad neglected me
And ran away on christmas eve
DRU! We're the midnight beast
(Heyooo)
It got their attention
Theres no need to mention
Baby, that your trousers just fell down
You look like a boy scout been caught with his cock out
They'll never know your trousers just fell down
(meltdown)
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
Cant run for election with an erection
Baby when your trousers just fell down
You cant get a peace prize
Showing your peace rise
Baby when your trousers just fell down
(meltdown)
(down down)
Even though your trousers just fell down
(down down)
Welcome in this immortal cave
Where the ground is moving
Go and hear the noisy fear
You can follow me
The candlelight -
Only the candlelight everywhere is in the cave
Follow me - hear the soul
Follow me down
Going down
Hear voices and touch the walls
Can you feel it's trembling?
Follow me - Far away
Follow me down
Going down
Go and walk through the screams
Noisy breathing - Smell of burning
Follow me down
Voices call you - Voices call
Voices call the new souls
Don't worry - Follow me
Tell me mister i'm just wondering
How you find a way to abandon my friend
I don't know if you're thinking
That he looks too wierd to you sit him in the back of the room
He's going down now
Her life's been ripped and she's struggling
You say you can't relate, and her life passes you by
She's crying out and you're thinking
Green hair, tongue pierced, tattoos is way too much for you
She's going down now
Does the ink that's on my skin, make it hard to let me in?
It's time to act my friend look on the inside
They're dying inside don't run away they're dying inside

[THE DAGGER SAGA - Chapter III]
Persist my crime
No antidote, hollowed mind
Persist the time
My foundation is down, a hole in the ground
Lonely at last, feeble I stand
Can I purify my soul, to begin where I was?
No answers are given, so I reach for my dagger
Inferior as me, I go down with the truth
In the eclipse of the moon, I say goodbye
A razor sharpened dagger, fills my hand
Persist my crime
No antidote, hollowed mind
Persist the time
My foundation is down, a hole in the ground
I posses a knife, a really nice dagger
Stacked in my heart, in the shades of the moon
Leaving this world, I see a star
just leave it alone
nothing changes
when i was yours
when we were strangers
in the headlines
painted in the corner
back to where you know, feeling ok
looking for your feet no one to blame
outside my building, the deal is breaking, breaking
what goes down goes down
what goes down
now it's give and take
what's yours is yours
from a lullaby, on nightmare street
perfectly alone, not totally screwed
came like the first words
let them be amused
can't you tell yet
i don't believe you
outside my building the deal is breaking, breaking
what goes down goes down
what goes down goes down, down
trouble in mind, secret for a friend
you know how to be tongue tied
til the things you said make sense again
you know i just don't see it happening for you
just leave it alone
into a split second
out in the empty street
like slanted rain
outside my building the deal is breaking, breaking
and what goes down goes down
what goes down goes down
what goes down goes down
what goes down goes down
Our lives those days were wonderful,
we were young and strong and rather cool,
we were free from cares whatever might be.
We shared all the things that could be shared,
there was nothing we could not have bared,
till the end of time in unity.
Now you’re gone – gone - gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone.
We were playing the game of live or die,
there were times we laughed and times we cried,
we stood still – as the world turned around.
We were friends – friends as we could be,
but now you’re gone to dream your endless dream,
that is why I’m really down on the ground.
Now you’re gone – gone – gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground,
baby I’m down on the ground.
Every drink we had is in my mind,
like all the girls that we have left behind,
now the sun is dull and wind’s getting cold.
I am waiting for the time to come,
when we will be together on the run,
you died much too young while I’m to grow old.
Cause you’re gone – gone – gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.
(k. green)
Breath down my neck but don't take a bite
My blood's not sweet enough for you
Reel me in hook line and sinker
Throw me back I'm not big enough for you
You should know by now
Giving up is the easy way
Giving up is the easy way out
You should know by now
Giving up is the easy way
Giving up is the easy way out
Where's the challenge in running
Where's the strength in blowing it all to the wind
For all that we've been through
For all the sweat and tears
Just try and send me packing, dear
Nothing's gonna take us down
Nothing's gonna break us down
Like a bullet in your barrel
Like an angry superhero
Nothing's gonna take us down
You should know by now
Giving up is the easy way
Giving up is the easy way out
You should know by now
Giving up is the easy way
Giving up is the easy way out
Nothing's gonna take us down
Nothing's gonna break us down
Like a bullet in your barrel
Like an angry superhero
Nothing's gonna take us down
Billy lincoln - guitars, bass, drum loops
Down, down, I'm feeling down
But for now I'll stick around
Just to see if it was really me
Or if I'm right in thinking you're wrong
You took me on a pleasure trip
But the waves got high and sunk the ship
And the captain was mad and so was his crew
And they all looked just the same as you
Up you took me high
Earth to the moon and back through the sky
But the wings that I wore didn't fit me too well
I only wanted to fly but I fell
Down, down, I'm feeling low
But sooner or later it's got to go
This restless feeling in my shoe
Will carry me to somebody new
Down, down, I'm feeling low
But sooner or later it's got to go
This restless feeling in my shoe
Will carry me to somebody new
Somebody new
Down, down, I'm feeling low
But sooner or later it's got to go
This restless feeling in my shoe
Johnny wanted to check out...out.
Heard he blew his brains right out...out.
Not even a week after Elliot (end was hectic, but was so poetic.)
Poor Johnny, never the luck, for even in your passing, you are judged.
I got a smile on my face. Make no mistake, I'm a phoney, yeah, I'm fake. I'm Down, Down Baby.
If you see me walking by, never look me in the eye.
Wonder when the well ran dry...I'm Down, Down Baby.
Oh Yeah, go on an tell me how things'll change, like ya done just yesterday.
Mothers getting older now...now.
Imagined a life so different.
How I apologize.
Momma gonna lay all your bets on me...uh oh.
Well I'll try a little harder, but I never gave up- this life gave up on me.
between the lines I see the mistakes
I said I love you, but now I hate you
all of that means nothing to me
´coz I know what I want
I want you down
I push you up, I push you down
so down, Ilove you down
and when you try to turn away from me
I know you´re coming back
´coz you can´t live without me
no, you can´t
even though I´m the one who hurts you
I guess you like it, because I like it, I like it
I love you down
I push you up, I push you down
Day after day it's the same
Tired of playin these games
Reaching out for something true
Questioning all that I do
Gotta get back gotta get back
Neva be the same cause I cover my tracks
The name of the game feelin the pain
Look into my eyes and you'll see no pain
Giving it right back to you
Everything you put me through
I can't breath/will some one save me
Suffocate/my body's weaking
I can't breath/get out before its too late (chorus)
You know it's pulling me down
Why do I feel so alone
So close yet so far from home
One thing I know I believe
All wounds heal after they bleed
Seein this through seein this through
Your comin down on me well I'm comin down on you
Neva look away Neva look away
Cause once I see you slip your outta my way
Understand one thing I say
Never let this get away from me
Chorus
You know it's pullin me down (4x)
You know it's pullin me down
Down down down
You know it's pullin me down
Down down down
Neva give up Neva give up
Neva turn a way cause I'll be f**kin you up (2x)
The two vrs. (Hip-hop parts)
Its in the way you walk
Its in the way you talk
You embarrass me
Whatever you do to me
Every single view
Makes my heart go boom
Every word you say
Just blows my mind away
But then I wonder what she does
By your side
And I know that it is not me
In your life
Im down
Cause I can't have you
Where are you tonight
Im down
Cause I can't let you
Make my world go round
You may frown
But I can't help
Anytime I see you I am
Down... down... down...
Oh ow
When you look at me
You like what you see
Don't need to disguise
My doors are open wide
But I wonder what she does
By your side
I can't imagine that you are
Satisfied
Im down
Cause I can't have you
Where are you tonight
Im down
Cause I can't let you
Make my world go round
You may frown
But I can't help
Anytime I see you I am
Down... down... down...
Oh ow
Every night I lie awake
And think of you
You let my fever...
Grow
Cause all I have to give
I wanna give to you
So help me boy
Im down
Cause I can't have you
(cause I can't have you...)
Im down
Cause I can't let you
Make my world go round
You may frown
But I can't help
Anytime I see you I am
Down... down... down...
Oh, Im down
Cause I can't have you
(cause I can't have you...)
Im down
Cause I can't let you
Make my world go round
You may frown
But I can't help
Anytime I see you I am
Down... down... down...
Today, I found out
Everything comes undone
My world is painted grey
Dark clouds black out the sun
I need the deepest of wounds
The scars of my life never die
And what I feel the most
The pleasure of pain
The only thing that keeps me alive
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
Today, I found out
That everything comes undone
I wanna close my eyes, and go inside
To the place where I become so numb
Ever since I got lost
I've been so far away
I can't find my way back
I'll never be the same
I guess that I'm to blame for everything
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't give away
All that I've been through
This voice inside my head
Reminds me that it's true
Everyday I'm alive
I will live with this pain
Now I know how it feels
Will this ever end
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
We're falling throughout eternity
The clock is ticking and your still counting sheep
You're still half asleep
There's no one coming (There's no one coming)
And there's no way out (And there's no way out)
I've been falling (Well I've been falling)
And it's so far down
Shrouded beneath a veil of tragedy
When death comes calling
Who will you believe?
Tell me who will you believe
When it's down to you and me
Will you still stay on your knees?
(Who will you believe?)
(When it's down to you and me)
There's no one coming (There's no one coming)
And there's no way out (And there's no way out)
I've been falling (Well I've been falling)
And it's so far down (And it's so far down)
There's no one coming (There's no one coming)
And there's no way out
There's no way out
No way out
Pushing me down
Breaking me down
There's always something pushing me down
Breaking me down
Pushing me down
Breaking me down
There's always something pushing you down
Breaking me down
Pushing me down
Breaking me down
There's always something pushing you down
Breaking you down
Pushing me down
Breaking you down
There's always something pushing you back,
Pushing you back
Rise
I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back, rise
I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back, rise
I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back
There's no one coming
And there's no way out
Well I've been falling
And it's a long way down
My one night stand, my summer fling
Came as fast as she left me
Oh its such a tragedy
We both had way too much to drink
This empty bed, the long drive home
Leaves me crushed and most alone
You came and left way too soon
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down yea down no
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down down down down
I met her in the rock show crowd
The band was playing oh so loud
Touch me, feel me hold me close
Feels so good only heaven knows
She got all the glamour of Hollywood
I can't be with what i should
I love your sweat on my skin
Feel these words theyre sinking in
Feel these words theyre sinking in
Feel these words theyre sinking in
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down yea down no
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down down down down
I love to hate you
Hate to love you
What could i doi?
What could i prove?
So long
So long
So long
So long
Down
When you’re up and flying high
You look down on all the little people as you go flying
But when you come down and looking up
Nobody gives a f--k
When your bank account swoll friends gather round
But when you’re broke you know they can’t be found
Nobody cares about you when you’re down, when you’re down
I called you I came by I knocked on your door you didn’t
answer
I needed you but my needs were not answered
If you love me, love me when I’m up
then you should love, love me when I’m down
When I’m low but nobody love you when you’re down and out
I cried, walked the streets and cried
I’m down now but I’ll survive it
Nobody, Nobody wants you, nobody needs you
I can feel my life slipping away,
The sickness is with me every day.
I cant move under this weight,
Feeding me more from it's hate.
I feel like the prodigal son.
I'm the excess of your evolution
And I can't make a sound,
The fear won't stop it drags me down.
Here in this hole, the fear grows, it grows so strong in me.
Stumbling, falling and I'm fading away
I know that no-one can catch me now
I'm wishing and hoping that somebody will say
Close your eyes it's all over now.
Now, it seems as though I'm losing my way,
Covered from the light of day.
And in the dark Im alone,
Ive forgotton my way home
Here in this hole, the fear grows, it grows so strong in me.
Stumbling, falling and I'm fading away
I know that no-one can catch me now
I'm wishing and hoping that somebody will say
Close your eyes it's all over now.
I got all my machines
Anything that I need
Gimme peace gimme war
Save our world save our souls
Here down we go
Down we go again
Here down we go
Down we go
Here down we go
Down we go again
Just like our fathers
I got shoes you got nothing
Let me roam
Let me sing the morning
I got peace you know that
I got war you know that
I got everything
I got soul
Here down we go
Down we go again
Here down we go
Down we go
Here down we go
Down we go again
Just like our fathers
I got peace on my pillow
I can go anywhere
All through time through
dimension
Save our world
Save our souls
Here down we go
Down we go down we go
Down we go down we go
Down we go
Here down we go
Down we go again
Here down we go
Down we go
Here down we go
Down we go again
I don’t know where I’m at
I’m standing at the back
And I’m tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that I’ll find what I’ve been chasing.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it’s coming down, down, down.
Not ready to let go
Cause then I'd never know
What I could be missing
But I’m missing way too much
So when do I give up what I’ve been wishing for.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it’s coming down, down, down.
Oh I am going down, down, down
Can’t find another way around
And I don’t want to hear the sound, of losing what I never found.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
I never know why it’s coming down, down, down.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Pop- pop off!
Say you know me on the outside
You never see the inside, okay... Okay
It's sick, it's such a long time
Walkin' down a thin line, okay... Okay!
(chorus)
I won't go down! I won't go down!
I see my life and where I've been
I staying here with all my friends
I won't go down! I won't go down!
I see the way it's gonna end
I'm never gonna give in...
Now you're asking about the inside
Talking about the lost time, okay... Okay
I keep thinking like I'm big time,
Trying to mess with your mind, okay... Okay!
(chorus)
((The Game:))
We're going front, back, side to side
Sixt tre (meaning 63) impala, thats how gangstas ride
Turn the music up let the hood rock
and throw your muthafuggin hands in the air like we at
woodstock
The streets is talkin, you know you heard the name
The kid that rocks white crowds like Kurt Cobain
Chuck Taylor and The Prom Kings, The Game that crossed
over
Now I'm sitting on the throne like the Game that lost
hova
Used to get money like Guns 'n Roses
Still getting rock money but guns and holsters
And when the nights over I'm wearing the crown
I'm the king of L.A. and I ain't never going down
(chorus ×2)
Yo! Chuck Taylor! Show 'm how we ride on the West
Coast. Ha!
(The Game) We goin front, back, side to side
Front, back, side to side
Down, and you keep pulling me deeper now. And you'll keep giving me shit until I'm six feet underground. This cold depression has got me, and its got me thinking, its got me wishing
I tell you I hate all my verses
I told you I'd break all your curses
You say relax, all the good things will come to the ones who wait
I don't think I can feign patience
You want to be with me
I'll bring you...
(CHORUS)
Down to nothing
Down to hear me
Down to nothing
I have left you
Say all the lines that need saying
I'm not the one who needs fixing
You say come on, wait ‘til sunrise and you'll have a brand new day
I don't think I can get through this
Still want to be with me
I'll bring you...
(CHORUS)
Now all that's left is the leaving
Baby, don't think I regret you
I just need a different muse
I'll say goodbye, cause I know that you do not have the strength
I know that I will get through this
I wanna know just how you feel
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
I wanna know just how it feels
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Take apart the things that you don't like
Put 'em back the way that you feel is right
I'm always under construction
Never good enough to satisfy
Take away what pride I've left inside
You've cut me down to almost nothing
So let's see if you like it nowNow let's see if you act so proud
Now the tables have turned
Will you act all concerned?
I wanna know just how you feel
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
I wanna know just how it feels
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Take back the things you said in spite
Nothing you can say will set this right
You're the cause of my destruction
Live and learn, excuses pacify
No mistakes, the problems are all mine
I've left myself completely open
So let's see if you like it now
Now let's see if you act so proud
Now the tables have turned
Will you act so concerned?
I wanna know just how you feel
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
I wanna know just how it feels
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Wake me from my slumber
Dream to hold
Pinch me, I'm still not sure
Where I belong
And I wanna know just how you feel
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
I wanna know just how it feels
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know just how it feels
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
I'm your fear, I'm your monster
What's hiding in your shadow? Is it taking what's left of you?
Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you, you're burning out
What's left of you? Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now what's left of you
See no fear, speak no evil
Are you screaming out to no one as you fall down a mountain of pride
I feel you, my eyes wide open
I feel you, do you think you can save yourself in time?
I'm finding out what's left of you, you're burning out
What's left of you? Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now what's left of you
What you see, what tears into you
Behind the wheel that leads you, are you facing a truth that
Won't die? Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you
I'm finding out what's left of you
You're burning out what's left of you, you're king of doubt,
You're choking, way down, way down now, what's left of you
What's left of you, you're burning out, what's left of you
Choking on doubt, you're choking
Down

All that shines isn't diamonds
miles away its hard to tell, yeah
And all we touch and try to see
with every step might slowly fall away
But don't let me down
I don't see you
Don't let me down
I don't want to see you go.
You'll always find me sinking on the riverbed
singing songs and writing verses
that come out of my head
But don't let me down
I won't see you
Don't let me down
I don't want to see you go.
So now you let me in
Someone singing songs
Something I wrote long ago
Has come to my aid.
All that fades still remembered
lift it up,
it stays where
we can always reach it, yeah.
But don't let me down
I don't see you
Don't let me down
I don't want to see you go.
(You'll never find another one like
Wash my hands of all my sins today
Left it all behind me
Thoughts of either one I pushed away
You don't understand me
No more nothingness
No more emptiness
No more thoughts of this
To bring me down again
No more nothingness
No more emptiness
No more thoughts of this
To bring me down again
With all your sins! And it's over now, so this is how it ends
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you
Just go away
My obsession is to break away
From all your pain and sorrow
A confession on my darkest day
But I'll repent tomorrow
No more nothingness
No more emptiness
No more thoughts of this
To bring me down again
No more nothingness
No more emptiness
No more thoughts of this
To bring me down again
With all your sins! And it's over now, so this is how it ends
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you
Just go away
No more nothingness ( no more )
No more thoughts of this
No more emptiness! ( so this how )
So this how it ends
Down again from all your sins
But it's over now
So this how it ends
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you just
DOWN AGAIN! With all your sins
And it's over now
So this how it ends
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you
Just go away
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you
Just go away
I can't live
I can't breath
With or without you
Just go away

Entiendame los hombres tambien lloran
Y mas cuando se va la persona que mas adoran
Estoy embajadao' , ya no tengo ni palabras
Pensando en ti dando vueltas en la cama
No es facil vivir la agonia
De pensar en ti noche , mañanas y dias
Estoy muriendo , sufriendo yo te hago entender
Este amor yo te lo juro quise defender
Pero todo fallo en todos los intentos
No aguanto la agonia y este sufrimiento

Master Piece!
Mambo Kings!
I cut myself today
And watch the blood as it falls away
It’s so amazing how
All of us are here right now
Were trapped inside a maze
And will be till we turn the page
And none of this will change
Even though we re-arrange
Our lives some how
We are all done in now
And here it comes again
The beginning of the end
All fall down
And so the story goes
And everybody knows
All fall down
It seems all hope is lost
And once again it’s all my fault
I guess I’m just one of those
Who’ll never learn
But that’s alright by me
I’ll drink away my misery
And all of you can watch me burn
Won’t you catch me when I fall away?
I cried for you tonight. Shedding tears that looked just like your eyes
I could have died for you tonight. Shattered tears that looked just like your eyes.
Well I cried for you tonight, she'd tears that look just like your eyes.
Beauty was portrayed by your seductive actions. A solemn act for what will never come to be.
Crushing sounds, blinding sights, stone cold heart, emptiness.
Break me down, throw me out. Merciless, violent screams.
With a lack of respect.
Crushing sounds, blinding sights, stone cold heart, emptiness
Break me down, throw me out, merciless, violent screams.
How can I respect myself when everything I cared about was really nothing more than a lie?
Would you ever take my life in your hands. Take my life and just throw it away, hate my life
After our everything
Would you ever take my life in your hands. Take my life and just throw it away,
Hate my life after our everything.
Would you ever take my life in your hands, Fill it full of love just to watch it burn
Could you ever take my life in your hands, take my love, take my life, watch it burn,
In your hands.
So come on, I'll never pass your tests. My pride is just broken down regrets. This is your fucking mess
I cannot take this kind of stress. You bring me down and I hate it.
This broken man’s depression leads a weary heart to battle on with rage.
We as one will carry our own, weary minds disbanding sorrow
Will your heart and your head will follow discover who you are
Discover who you are, keep looking inside your heart
Reach out for the pain that scars, discover who you are
Shatter all memories a choice we can run with, fabricate destinies through stories we’ve told
Live it all, plot it all from that place you call home, you never see what lies there for you
You won’t give up
I’ll cry for you tonight. I Cried For You. I’d Die For You. I cried for u tonight. I’d die for you
Baby are you down down down down down,
(Down, Down, )
Even if the sky is falling down,
(Down down, )
You ouaght to know,
Tonight is the night to let it go,
Put on a show,
I wanna see how you lose control,
So leave it behind cause we have a night to get away,
So come on fly with me as we make our great escape,
[Chorus:]
So baby don't worry you were my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'd be my only no need to worry

So leave it behind cause we have a night to get away,
So come on fly with me as
We make our great escape so why don't we run away.
[Chorus:]
So baby don't worry you were my only

Down like her temperature cause to me she is zero degrees,
She cold over freeze I got that girl overseas,
Now she's my listenary,
Now can I be her soldier please,

And definetly, now probably,
And honestly, I'm down like the economy.
[Chorus:]

Are you down down down down
I’m on the same place once again
Rage and pain overwhelming my brain
I trusted once again
The same mistake I always do
I’m down now
Why did I trust a human being?
I can no longer say whose fault it is
They need to lie to survive
I’m here in tears, nothing but harmed feelings
Am I sick? Is the whole world sick?
I don’t know, I’m just down
Just down
Everything’s so perfectly placed
Which life you’ll take today?
I’m sick and tired of this
I can’t run away
Even in my dreams
I’m down again... crying
I tried to end this shit
But I’m exactly where I started
Seeing my life slowly fades away
Will I ever trust you again?
I can no longer say
Right now I can’t even trust myself
I’m here in tears, nothing but harmed feelings
Am I sick? Is the whole world sick?
I don’t know, I’m just down
Just down
Everything’s so perfectly placed
Which life you’ll take today
I’m sick and tired of ..
That everything’s so perfectly placed
I’m sick and tired of this
In the summer camp, down by the hill
i'll get some time to think
laying down on the pier, throwing stones to the lake
one stone for everything
that i really miss
like my dog, and the crows, and the smell of here
and i'll keep a very special pile of
heavy and black and polished and weird and terrifying stones
for the nights when i missed you
(and even when i could still see you)
for the sweets things you said that i don't want to
know if they're true
for you wearing my shirts and riding your bikes in awarm night
for when we didn't even say goodbye
for when i was stuck in the airport with amazing
lightnings keeping the plane to the ground
(and i wouldn't even call you)
for the anger and the pain that we softly built
for the anger and the pain that we tenderly built
When the conversations overlap
I catch your eyes and they are filled with need
Do you wanna take a pic-picture?
I feel naked from the stares
I gotta feeling that you wanna get
Get to know me in a biblical way
We can take it to the back bedroom
I can show you what I got.
If you go down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
If you go down
We can get down
If you go down.
Do you wanna take a pic-picture
Watching me stumble up the stairs.
Gonna catch a little butterfly
Put me in your web
I'll be your hostage baby
The rope and the tape ready
You could tie me to the bed bed post
Show me what you got.
If you go down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
If you go down
We can get down
If you go down.
You whisper all the dirty thing you wanna do to me.
I whisper all the dirty things I wanna do to you.
Whoa
I whisper all the dirty things I wanna do to you.
You whisper all the dirty things you wanna do to me, yeah.
When the conversations overlap
I catch your eyes and they are filled with need
Do you wanna take a pic-picture?
I feel naked from the stares
I gotta feeling that you wanna get
Get to know me in a biblical way
We can take it to the back bedroom
I can show you what I got.
If you go down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
We can get down, down, down, down, down.
If you go down
We can get down
Down upon our souls we will ride
And it serves you right to build your kingdom in the sky
I man na lie, what a lullaby you sing to a young man so
Man down, way down, down upon our head and his soul
It was just a thought in the air, like something planted in the atmosphere, my dear
Oh my suffer loss is real
Oh why, why, why must we be shackled on ya
We were treated like a number and talked to like a fool
You better ascend before you're gone for so long
And the wind blow I man got to carry the soul of the waterfall
We're still so powerful my friends, you have got nothing to fear, nuclear
Oh the mighty stone building across them land
But the higher they build man try to fly over world
Man breaking their heart and so taking their head as them goal, man I pray
Still dey man champion so I, I, I, ring a man bone
But they throw rock, rock, rock, rock, rock stone Jah messenger down
Oh man erase them with wit and anger, like it was a joke, that that man say
Oh my suffer loss is real...
What a rocky man road...
But we shall embrace our souls against them
I mean don't let another day, go by...
The sun set on your shoulders
As you turned away
Orange and purple pieces
Memories array
Green and yellow moments
The past is left behind
Somber and subdued
Nothing left to bind
Walking with shadows
I'm giving up
I cannot fight this darkness
Calling for you
I'm heading down
Slowly withdrawing
Losing my way
Painted in hues of sadness
Calling for you
I'm heading down
The clouds intoxicating
Extinguishing the light
Deepening the threshold
What once was strong and bright
No trace of recognition
Emotionless debris
Nature's taken hold now
The sky has set you free
See he wind blowing in the trees
The cold wind bites my chin, freezing breeze
Looking out my window every day
I'm tired and broken down, here I'll stay
'Cause I'm
Broken down
Landed hard
All alone along with my thoughts
Broken down
My conclusion
I'm hated, soon she forgets
Thru'my window same thing every day
People passing by, not a soul to stay
I feel so forgotten, no once calls
Depressed and down I am, my spirit falls
'Cause I'm
Broken down
Landed hard
All alone along with my thoughts
Broken down
My conclusion
I'm hated, soon she forgets
[CHORUS]
Why do I let my self fall down?
Why do I let my princess wear her crown?
I kneel and bow my head, she brings me down
I'm a prisioner in my own broken soul
In my life I've always had a goal
To live beside my princess every day
She made me falling down by going away
'Cause I'm
Broken down
Landed hard
All alone along with my thoughts
Broken down
My conclusion
I'm hated, soon she forgets
Big boxes of hurt is coming closer
One is just for me
Wears down my soul into nothing
Got to make a fist
Tried to reach myself and find the true me
It doesn't work - I'm going down... down... down
I'm screaming empty words
I'm building bigger walls
I'm trying to be more
Oh - got to break my...
Break my walls
Dig down deep into the darkness
It's a long hard walk
To see the truth and get the feelings inside
I'll show you fear
Feelings inside
Feed me the fear
Feelings inside
Make me see
I'm screaming empty words
I'm building bigger walls
I'm trying to be more
Oh - got to break my...
[Chorus]
I wanna get down, down, down, down
Down, Down, Down
Get Down
We can get down
[Kanye West]
Uh... Mr. West is in the building
Children, Ladiesssss
Call the shrink up, they about to go crazy
Hold your drinks up, like you was celebrating
Hold your guns, if they is hella hating
I'm so clean, and them they got rabies
I can see them through the lense of my rabie
And wait fast... MmmHmm
Yeah do you play fair? MmmNnnn
Grab your remote, for the reason they made TIVO
Snap your Nikon's with the icons with Nike's on
I heard you like to do it with the lights on
But I really make babies when the mics on
Check out all my kids, that ball all my cribs
Got me out of that apartment
You have got to pardon him
I am so retarded with a spit like a retarded kid that spits
Ooops, I ain't mean to say that shit
I told my homie Chris, these chicks is dangerous
You need a girl that's A List
Not one that's just barely made it on A List
Casue from Wall To Wall
We got it Poppin' right now
It's a hundred girls, tryna get DOWN DOWN DOWN
[Chris Brown]
Baby girl, gotta tell you
Seen you somewhere before, You look familiar
You had a red shirt, Dickie slacks, and a Gucci bag to match it
Tell me you remember that baby girl, but lady never mind that
Can I take you out later? And heres my contact
Can you do me this favor? Can you spend this paper?
Only you cause it's just sitting and lets just get it and go
[Chorus]

You never see the inside, okay... Okay
It's sick, it's such a long time
Walkin' down a thin line, okay... Okay!
(chorus)
I won't go down! I won't go down!
I see my life and where I've been
I staying here with all my friends
I won't go down! I won't go down!
I see the way it's gonna end
I'm never gonna give in...
Now you're asking about the inside
Talking about the lost time, okay... Okay
I keep thinking like I'm big time,
Trying to mess with your mind, okay... Okay!
(chorus)
((The Game:))
We're going front, back, side to side
Sixt tre (meaning 63) impala, thats how gangstas ride
Turn the music up let the hood rock
and throw your muthafuggin hands in the air like we at woodstock
The streets is talkin, you know you heard the name
The kid that rocks white crowds like Kurt Cobain
Chuck Taylor and The Prom Kings, The Game that crossed over
Now I'm sitting on the throne like the Game that lost hova
Used to get money like Guns 'n Roses
Still getting rock money but guns and holsters
And when the nights over I'm wearing the crown
I'm the king of L.A. and I ain't never going down
(chorus ×2)
Yo! Chuck Taylor! Show 'm how we ride on the West Coast. Ha!
(The Game) We goin front, back, side to side
Front, back, side to side
Down
i?m foolin?around
there?s nobody on the ground
stay away today?s my day
down
people asking me
what do you want to be
i want to feel everything i see
down
send me a sign
everytime i go i lie
cos i?ve found the way to be alone
down
a letter was wrote behind my back
by a beautiful woman
with some beautiful lines
down
let me hear the sound
let me hear the offence
let me choose which way to get
the sky is turning black
the light is black and white
and this site is full of grime
the energy is on
but where it comes from
don?t know the reason why it flows
the people is dying out
the air is thick and false
and it grows under a red sky
your words are being told
but your mouth is getting close
while a rose is raising from a millenary stone
When you stop to ponder what's inside your past,
You'll begin to wonder what is for the best.
Well we've come a long way
But gone the wrong way
Cause down is nowhere to be.
We're falling harder
We rip apart now,
But no one can stop to see.
You can sell your soul but who will buy your sins?
With no self control you're surely pay for it again
again
We've come a long way
But gone the wrong way
Cause down is nowhere to be
We're falling harder
We rip apart now
But no one can stop to see
You don't know what's going on inside of my head.
I'm alive again I'm alive again again
Well we've come a long way
But gone the wrong way
Cause down is nowhere to be
We're falling harder
We rip apart now
But no one can stop to see
You don't know what's going on inside of my head.
So what if I burn my hands
When I unload it?
Hot dishes from the
Dishwashing machine
It's just my job sir
I do what I'm paid for
You won't catch me walking
Home from work crying
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
So what if this apron has
Many stains of red?
Andred is the same color
That runs in my veins
I'm just a number
Swimming in water
I'm just another
Dirty dish in the machine
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Every dish I wash
I wash for someone else
I ain't an old woman
On the beach collecting shells
So what if I could have made
Millions in the stock market?
I never much understood
Numbers anyway
I wash the dishes
Someone must do that
People don't want
To eat their food
Off dirty plates
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
And so what if people are
Walking right by me and
Seeing right through me?
I do the same to them
And who cares that the planet
Is turning on cruelty?
A cold metal axis that
Cuts off my head
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Maybe some day all the people
In the world so big and wide
Will turn just like a record
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
If this is your last photograph
Just smile, stand tall, and you could have it all
Color your soul, to make it whole
And use this day, what of it remains
If it's your reality, if this is your reality
Let it be
Ten feet tall, but feeling small
You raise those plans
Take a hold with your hands
This photograph could be your last
A final prize, a moment in time
If it's your reality, if this if something you can see
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
Ascend your soul, reach your goal
Blue-eyed one, hope against hope
Taking that fall, unwrapped it all
Bring it back, like the blood of the triad
If it's this reality, if this is all just let it be
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
Just when you think that you could never find it
Just then you realize your future is all in your hands
One day we'll look at this and laugh about it
Until then just realize the future is all in our hands
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
Trade all these empty sounds
For a wave of real love
Knock me down
Down in a whirlpool
I will drown
Down... like a castle
Stormed from the ground
You are my last shot
My final round
If we fail i'm nothing
Just put me down
Down... like a black bear
A thousand pounds
Down... in a plane crash
That thunder sound
So loud
Hear me now
So loud
A train downbound
Wait for perfection
It will never be found
Let's chase this monster
Out of this town
Now or never
Are you in or are you out?
I vow to serve you
I'm not too proud
Down
Before you i will bow down
I will bow down
Lost in learn, coming down is their instinct,
Passing ways, passing ways on pain and red ink,
The day is young, with the sun staring at me,
I contemplate the ways in which you see.
Time is pressed, don't look now, where we have our test,
To the pressure of compared to unrest,
Understand, understand my reasons,
Take control, the change in seasons.
What lies now, turn and bow,
Make your move, going down,
Here they stand, all alone,
From the one, that brings us down.
Time again, time again we falter,
Under skin, by the skin, no matter,
Justify, justify our weakness,
Coming down...
They sit and pray for the turn to the innocent,
Shouting praise to the one that figures it,
Then their minds, and within their hearts,
They are chained, to this down.
What lies now, turn and bow,
Make your move, going down,
Here they stand, all alone,
From the one, that brings us down.
(Instrumental)
What lies now, turn and bow,
Make your move, going down,
Here they stand, all alone,
It's going down
It's hit the ground
And it's all downhill from here
It's all over
It's all worn out
It's become your greatest fear
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
You've been broken
You've succumbed
You're all worn down and done
The wreck of you
The death of you
What have you become?
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
Down, down, down, down (Beats you down)
Down, down, down, down (Breaks you down)
The whole motherfucking world's out to break you down
And trying to run is just useless now
Because you can't get out
You can't get out
You can't get out
You can't get out
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
Down, down, down, down (Beaten down)
Down, down, down, down (Beats you down)
i came home again to an empty bed
its 6 a.m. im just getting in
the message machine aint blinking anymore
i had to change it from where not home
to im not here leave a message at the tone
while im staring at your photo in my hand
i start crying out again
cause im down, down on myself again
tonight the world is fading
down, im down on myself again
so meet me here inside my dreams
my dreams
i try to get away from 9-5
im trying to get her off of my mind
its hard to sleep at night, i cant decide
if the glass is empty or if it's half full
i don't really care i'm gonna to drink it while it's
cold
thinking about the moments that we had
i start crying out again
cause im down, down on myself again
tonight the world is fading
down, im down on myself again
so meet me here inside my dreams
my dreams
til then everynight ill find you there
a photograph cannot compare
to the way we were the love we shared
but now its gone and i wish you were here
im down on myself again
tonight the world is..
down, im down on myself again
tonight the world is fading
down, im down on myself again
so meet me here inside my dreams
my dreams
I sat by the phone today
Waiting for you to call so I
Could pick it up and say hello to you
And you would say hello to me
Just like my dreams
Is there a reason why you're gone, I didn't mean to be so wrong
I tried so hard to be the best that I could be, but still it seems
I always end up alone
Is there something inside me that I don't see?
Is there something wrong here with the way I love?
Down, You can't hold me down
Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here
Just waiting for you to come back home again
Down, You can't hold me down
Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad
In fact it's better for me
Did I not give you enough room?
Was I overtaking you?
And did my love for you just blind me from what I was doing wrong?
I never meant you harm
Or was I not good enough for you?
Is that the reason why we're through?
Was I not half the man you thought that I would be but now you see
Is that why you leave me?
Is that why you leave me?
Is there something inside me that I don't see?
Is there something wrong here with the way I love?
Down, You can't hold me down
Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here
Just waiting for you to come back home again
Down, You can't hold me down
Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad
In fact it's better for me
And Lord knows I try to bring back my dreams
Cause I held onto yours for so long that I couldn't hold my own
Down, You can't hold me down
Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here
Just waiting for you to come back home again
Down, You can't hold me down
Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad
In fact it's better for me
Down
Down
You can't hold me down again
You can't hold me down
Down
When the clock says your time is done
When you cant go on, and you've just begun
When your worst fear has come true
When your last chance has run out on you
I'll be there
To kick you when you're down
When your train has reached the end of the line
When the rooster crows for the third time
When you've bitten off more than you can chew
When the one you love turns their back on you
I'll be there
To kick you when you're down
Don't look to me for the answers
I dont have any
Don't look to me for hope
I don't have any
Don't look to me for compassion
I dont have any
This wall is getting higher
Somehow I’ve gotta pull it down
Before it surrounds me
And everybody’s gone
Some days, can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t feel
Don’t wanna face the world
Don’t wanna pretend anymore
When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
When I was down
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Before you deny my right
To breathe the air you breathe
Stripped down to nothing
Still have my pride
You will not break me
I must survive
When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
When I was down
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Before you deny my right
To breathe the air you breathe
When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
Never been much for wastin' time
Always had to spit it out, what crossed my mind
I don't need no woman, to jerk me around
Hangin' her head down
Start some fussin' and a cryin', cryin'
So listen...
If you're gonna let me down
Don't try and make it easy
If you're gonna let me down
Baby let the hammer down
Just leave me, leave me woman
Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist it in my heart
In this world, you get your share of rainy days
Girl, I won't be your slave
You cold hearted woman
Hear the front door fall
Suitcase bounces like a ball
I tear your picture off the wall
I won't be cryin', no...listen to me
If you gonna let me down
Don't try and make it easy, easy woman
Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist inside my heart
Don't let me down easy
It won't work on a man like me
If it's over now, just bring your hammer down
Bring it down
Oh dear Lord, have mercy on my soul
I never meant to be so cold, cold, cold
Let it just once
When that fire burns my heart
Let it be from love and not anger
(Solo)
Bring it down
Yeah
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
i've been running, i've been having fun
but i don't know what it means
i've been trying, i've been dying to
but i don't know what it means
i've been down down down down down
but i don't know what it means (2x)
i rest my case, but i don't wanna run the race
i've been loosing you the way i'm loving you
but i don't know what it means
i've been down down down down down
but i don't know what it means (4x)
i've been trying so hard to come to peace
but i don't know what it means
my shelter is a shield
but i don't know what it means
i've been down down down down down
but i don't know what it means (4x)
i've been trying so hard to be myself that i've turned
into somebody else
i'm in denial or so it seems
When the morning comes
I like to think that I'm the one
To decide when to swallow all my pride
What my think tank does
Is makes an attempt to rid the fuzz
That's accumulated from all the freak of nature's fumes
It's so cold
And It's so cruel
When the clock starts ticking
And you're feelin' it slip away
It's so cold
And It's so cruel
When the clock starts ticking
And you're feelin' it slip away
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
I may invade the space
Of those who just can't keep the pace
So they gotta make room for each and every seed to bloom
Is it much to soon
To assume that I've become immune
To the world, all of it's infected dreams
It's so cold
And It's so cruel
When the clock starts ticking
And you're feelin' it slip away
It's so cold
And It's so cruel
When the clock starts ticking
And you're feelin' it slip away
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Now, At this point I just don't see no need to continue
(Screams/Shouts) Fuck!
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
You can't help but bring me
Down
It was cold outside and I was lost in my mind.
Always searching for something I could never find,
but you had the answer the whole time.
I grew up in the arms of love. Never a moment when I didn’t feel enough.
Still I would search for reasons to, fight back, when I was never put under attack, and I...
I know it’s not about, winning the fight.
It’s about taking a step back to see the other side.
So what was my investment with always having to be right?
When I let you down. I let you, down.
Pressure started to, sink in.
And what never used to matter became all that mattered then.
So I lied. I lied to ease the pain and don’t know why, I chose to keep living my life, pushing truth aside, and I...
I know that it’s not about, fearing the knife.
Or the words that come armed on it’s back, and stab ‘til you go blind.
Those rosy colored glasses won’t protect you from your mind,
They’ll let you down. Let you down.
Maybe it’s time to grow up. And take getting burned as a lesson learned from staring at the sun.
So here’s to change! Here’s to change and changing my ways.
If I'm gonna leave mark on this earth I gotta let go of yesterday!
And I, I know it’s not about, being right. It’s about keeping my class and swallowing my pride. Acknowledge good intent, now I know good was all you meant...
Yeah I, I know it’s not about, not about being right. It’s about keeping my class and swallowing my pride. Acknowledge good intent, now I know good was all you meant...
When I let you down. I let you, down.
Down, down, no....oh, whooooo ooooo.
Too bad, she don't love you no more
And I've a half a mind to give her a call
Curled up in a ball
Is that where you are
Is that where you are
Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
I never wished you any harm
But Karma has a certain charm
My dad always used to say
You never run up a tab, you don't eventually have to pay
Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Buy a book that'll teach you how to relate
Then tell her all the things you learned too late
In time, the pain will go away
And you'll be free to love and lose another day
Mind what you do
Cause as you see, things come back to you
What do you want from me?
I'm not sorry
That you are down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
When I think about those days
I sometimes wish to bring then vack
But living in the past ain't no way to live
I stand alone with no love to hive
See me rise and see me fall
Scarred indide I'll never forget
Rely on hate to heal the pain
Cos' nothing will never be the same
It took me down
It broke my will
I remenber what you did to me
As I stand and watch and watch my past slipping away
It gets so hard to contain
All the anger I've kept inside
Cos' now I know it's too late
For me to comprehend and to forgive
It took me down
As I stared at all my hopes and dreams
Tumbling down
It broke my will
What you fucking did to me
It broke my will
I remenber what you did to me
As I stand and watch my past slipping away
Repeat 1st verse
DOWN
Yo me pongo mi chandal de gala y que bonito estoy
Con arte con clase la base de ritmos rajaos
Dentro de mi cabeza vive un humano tarao
Y dentro de mi pecho vive un loco enamorao
Anadares de vacilon en estereo
Empujo el play y suena la musica
Dame el meneo y el deseo me hace volar
Cabalgarte a pelo ah yeah!...A pelo con el down
Chorus:
Down du down du down down
Down du down du down down
Down du down du down down
Down du down du down down
Down du down du down down
Niña tu moving down no se puede aguantar
Bajo el influjo del compas de los ritmos cortaos
Vente p'aqui p'aca primita vente pa mi lao
Si quieres tu junar, que tengo down
Mira mi culo uh como lo muevo uh uh
Elevo mi ego hasta la pista del dancing
Zapatillas magic y ese pollo nasty
Maximo nivel y en estereo
Oye que ten ven down
Come que te la bounce
Son y que quieres canoa
Tu vas del palo del palo del culo y yo del q menea
Como un barquillo en el agua a flote
Te mantengo dentro del ritmo sin que se note te
Oyeme como que te la down
Que al caballillo desbocao no se le toca el bounce
Yo tengo mucho down yo tengo mucho tempo
Yo tengo mucho down woman del callao
Yo tengo down down down
Chorus
Cogelo y picha cacho...
Niña tu moving down no se puede aguantar
Bajo el influjo del compas de los ritmos cortaos
Vente p'aqui p'aca primita vente pa mi lao
Si quieres tu junar, que tengo down
Vente p'aqui p'aca que yo tengo el temita
Acercate a mi lao que te enseñare las millas
Tengo lo que quieras tengo pa darte la tira
Cremita buena canela fina uh
Vente p'aqui p'aka que yo tengo el temita
Acercate a mi lao que te enseñare las millas
Tengo lo que quieras tengo pa darte la tira
Cremita buena canela fina uh
Baby yo quiero ese ritmo cortao en tu culo down
Baby como te mueves encima mia con el bounce
I have been around for awhile
Following the bouncing ball
I have seen the offers
Hanging in the air like flies
You can have it all
And then I see it
Then I see my life
Like a dog hanging
fifty feet above the ground
And I feel it
With the pain this time
And I know now
to find a place to turn around
But someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down
I have seen the first design
And I have been the last to go
I have seen the others
Standing in the feeding lines
When it's all they know
And then I see it
Then I see my life
Like a dog hanging
fifty feet above the ground
And I feel it
With the pain this time
And I know now
to find a place to turn around
But someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down
down
down
Down upon our souls we will ride
And it serves you right to build your kingdom in the sky
I man na lie, what a lullaby you sing to a young man so
Man down, way down, down upon our head and his soul
It was just a thought in the air, like something planted in the atmosphere, my dear
Oh my suffer loss is real
Oh why, why, why must we be shackled on ya
We were treated like a number and talked to like a fool
You better ascend before you're gone for so long
And the wind blow I man got to carry the soul of the waterfall
We're still so powerful my friends, you have got nothing to fear, nuclear
Oh the mighty stone building across them land
But the higher they build man try to fly over world
Man breaking their heart and so taking their head as them goal, man I pray
Still dey man champion so I, I, I, ring a man bone
But they throw rock, rock, rock, rock, rock stone Jah messenger down
Oh man erase them with wit and anger, like it was a joke, that that man say
Oh my suffer loss is real
What a rocky man road
But we shall embrace our souls against them
I mean don't let another day, go by
