Dijon (French pronunciation: [diʒɔ̃] ( listen)) is a city in eastern France, and is the capital of the Côte-d'Or département and of the Burgundy region.
Dijon is the historical capital of the region of Burgundy. Population (2008): 151,576 within the city limits; 250,516 (2007) for the greater Dijon area.
Dijon began as a Roman settlement called Divio, located on the road from Lyon to Paris. Saint Benignus, the city's patron saint, is said to have introduced Christianity to the area before being martyred.
This province was home to the Dukes of Burgundy from the early 11th until the late 15th centuries and Dijon was a place of tremendous wealth and power and one of the great European centres of art, learning and science. The Duchy of Burgundy was a key in the transformation of medieval times toward early modern Europe. The Palais des ducs de Bourgogne (Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy) now houses city hall and a museum of medieval art.
Tijon - Use Me
Intro (Bill Withers)
I want to spread the news, That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me, Till you use me up
Verse 1
I take their breath away, Even take their stress away
With me you could spend the whole day, (Till you use me up)
I got a special kind of glow to me, Strictly what they blow to me
I promise I started white as the snow, homie
The haters might call me, wash up or cook down
I'm cooked up and broke down, They got me for the low now
Or so they say, I got the low down how it goes down
I've been buffed and boofed and rode in coupes from NY to the O-
Town
All white, with a little shade of yellow
So you say im oriental stay around some Philipinos
My father -- a masonary, he works with the Arm & Hammer
My mother been crushing Willy Wonka, stays in coco powder
Streets devour power just to keep my ass up on their counter
They cant live with see me up the hands of a counter part to them
Or mother, sister, brother, cousin, uncle, You been my lover?
They sayin he'll break ya down, He'll let you down
All jealousy they fell for me they miss my kiss
Look at their mouths, Coated with my sugar bliss
So freeze and picture this, Me and you it's effortless
Just flick the flame and light my stem, We'll be heaven sent
Hook
I want to spread the news, That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me, Till you use me up
Verse 2
You know I love you, Any storm we can weather
I'll be your bestfriend forever baby (Till you use me up)
Then I gotta go you need me? You know where I stay
Uptown, Lennox Ave, Any time of day
Look I love you, But you got to have the right pay
Cause my handler, Well he's known to get carried away
All my dates, He calls them junkies, Serves them two a day
He's got to be protective, He knew me since I was sugar babe
Plus I copped him cash and cars, We mingled with some superstars
From Whitney, Doc, and Darryl, To some heads of city council
In theirs heads now I can counsel, Navigate or mediate them
That's a come up from the Pyrex vision, kitchen tables
I'm up the street and down the block, Around the corner you can cop
You work with me?, We call it clock
But watch out for the cops, They roll up pop and lock us up for this
All I am is coco crisp cooked... You know what?
I think they want a kiss
See I've seen them looking, Passionately grabbing at me
Served his daddy '88, Now he wants to hit the base
Bad with the face, Lost it in the game
Tijon Ft. Steve Van Tine - Rise
There comes a time when the hope is lost
They need a man who could hold the torch
Ill be your strength in the hard time
When it gets dark, ill be the sunshine
Chorus
Steve -- Tell me what to say when you know the world's coming down
Tijon - When its crashin down tell em who youll call now
S -- I'm looking to the heavens but theres only bullets flying down
T - Let them rain down on me
S -- And I will walk in the sun when the rains coming down
T - Put my faith to the rising sun
S -- And I will stand only strong when no one else can carry on
T - I will........ I will rise
Verse 1
Ill be the hope for the hopeless, Ill be a nightmare if harm ever
approach us
Always stand for my city, Wife lady liberty
I'm the epitome of what these boys been tryna be
Real to the core, thorough I'm the apples seed
They neva talk just, Eye chat, try to apple me
A wrong look misconstrued, a be a tragedy
Im a forgiving soul, it's the ones in back of me
You see they kill for me, Cuz I provide for them
With no deal I aint even brought a dollar in
I guess real recognize it's mirror image
Matter fact that real backwards, see we more the clearer image
Of a further destination, Move in silence like the masons
Hold a steady trigger, but our fingers aint blessed with gift of patients
Please forgive us every virtue don't go hand in hand
Just like the fly talk aint really bout a grain of sand
(Chorus)
Verse 2
I guess that rose grew from concrete
Cuz what they thought I couldn't do, is now upon me
It's beyond me, a label could baton me
Got em feelin like the Blazers after Sam bombed, B
Please sit me down, tell me how this world spin around
When genocide fly, an aint nobody do a thing about it
I see its getting crowded, but this a home to all
Yes I'm high, but could it be population control
Or could it be the air waves pal-oo-tin in ya dome
Cuz I see clowns runnin roun, on they way to the thrown
Never fear I'll cut they neck before they reach the kingdom
Drink the blood out my goblet, the taste is so revealing
See I like to watch the fear in they eye, as they die,
Lay to rest, Let ya souls them fly
Two deaths, one for the man you was known as
The other for the coward, hiding in ya grown ass
(Chorus)
Verse 3
So when the time come that all hope lost
I got the flame I will hold yall torch
Just put ya faith in me, and know I'll give my all for y'all
One Way Track (Prod. By Chris D'Eletto)
One way train one way track
One time that well never look back
Its a leap of faith as we fade away
And we'll never look back on our runaway track
Sleep little boy the nightmares will go away
Its only fucked cause his nightmares reality
Every night tastes the salt of his own tear
Pillows are puddles understand this boys fear
Paper thin walls, hears his moms call screamin for help
An he knows that he aint no help, but fuck it
Cuz he's in himself what a man should be
An at 10 he seeing shit that no man should see
So he mans up busts in the door
Sees his step father choking her out, falls to the floor
Risks every inch of his life, gives every inch of his fight
But he aint have a chance this a man n a child
Denial, fair description, of his mothers depiction
Prescription drugs in vein, numbed her out Novocain
No vacays same track everyday
So he turns his music up, his escape from the pain
Runaway
(Hook) X2
Catch a runaway train, never look back
This our one way out a one room shack
On a shady day, We gon' fade away
And we'll never look back, On our runaway track
One way train, One way track
One time that we'll never look back
It's a leap of faith as we fade away
And we'll never look back, on our runaway track
Verse 2
Miss local celebrity in every bar they know her name
Friends from back in the day grown she call em fake
They was just growing up they aint mean to grow apart
See her playing her life, and she dont know her part
What makes it worse is she thinks she got this figured out
So every night different man and he diggin out
Guess she lookin for love wont find it on the ceiling
While they catchin they nut, baby just fishin for feelings
Hooked on a vision, so she petition what isn't
Fittin in her fantasy prism, materialism
The keyhole to her shallow ass heart
Thought she found love when she watched it parallel park
Dude hopped out mean swag, x type mean jag
Took a few words, just to have her with the seat back
She figures ima give it to him so he never leaves
The moment wont, boo he left her with the HIV
This story starts in a puddle of blood
A boy from glass house who always hurt who he loved
Loved to cast stones when they came back he couldn't budge
Ceilings crash down, call that truth from above
Give him a hug he assume you got a cruel intention
So he moves around with goons packing tools and henchmen
Who aint really give a fuck about him, He aint give a fuck for them
Let the story begin
Started off grimy youngin no kicks or a cut
Took the A train uptown to cop a fast buck
Schooled by the ol heads want some juice in his cup
Made him feel insecure, said u been proved what?
Hands jammed in his pants, what u mean im down to show n prove
Hit the stoop round the corner wet em up n move
Took advantage of a young mind
Land of The legends, home of the brave
My heart beats the boros, my blood bleeds its name
Chorus
Uptown to the bully town boogey down
Blue n Orange Blue n Orange
Kings County to the kingdom of the Queens Bridge
Blue n Orange Blue n orange
Cut my wrist, you gon' know what the business is
Blue n orange blue n orange
Shaolin to Jersey you see how deep we is
Blue n Orange Blue n Orange
Uhh we style it out like a knick game
4th quarter bet we lose em like a knick game
Peep my cuticles, they yellow from the piff stain
Diss mayne, get slain, plummet off the bridge damn
Damn, maybe chewed by a Staten shark
A Bronx hooligan, Queens shooter
The boy tutor
Ya little trip, around our 5 boro residence
Watch for 5 finger discounts, they immanent
You timid, we could sense it
See ya sweat startin to pellet
Pull from pelles, up on Lenny
Cop are piff from corner deli's
We smoother then fonzerelli
Goons boom n palm some semis
SO uhhh, Load the hawks n let em off for New York
Hook
We spike lee'd ya kicks, Rucker parked ya watch
Balled out, cuz fuck it we birthed BIG n Pac
Put Jordan's over ya socks, Some blocks from Nosrand ave
Shout out the Taft, and Apache's out in far rock

Charmene Pickering, Isidro Aviles
Rest in peace, ya loses brought the city to her knees
So in ya honor
Hook
You see a yank top, maybe a met fit, Get ya hand to the brim bitch

The realest of the real, thorough of the thorough
Lick a shot for jerz baby that's the 6th boro
Goosebumps on my arm, just to rep yall
Love to the pioneers, and respect all
Young Lancelot, you legacies, defend all
Lay in a grave, fore I let em disrespect yall
Land of The legends, home of the brave
