Détente (French for 'relaxation') is the easing of strained relations, especially in a political situation. The term is often used in reference to the general easing of relations between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1971, a thawing at a period roughly in the middle of the Cold War. In the Soviet Union, détente was known in Russian as разрядка ("razryadka", loosely meaning 'relaxation of tension').
The period was characterized by the signing of treaties such as the SALT I and the Helsinki Accords. SALT II was discussed but never ratified by the United States. There is some debate amongst historians as to how successful the détente period was in achieving peace. The two superpowers agreed to install a direct hotline between Washington DC and Moscow, the so called red telephone, enabling both countries to quickly interact with each other in a time of urgency. The SALT II pact of the late 1970s continued the work of the SALT I talks, ensuring further reduction in arms by the Soviets and by the US. The Helsinki Accords, in which the Soviets promised to grant free elections in Europe, has been seen as a major concession to ensure peace by the Soviets.
(feat. Ice-T)
The underworld watches in horror
As this marks the day that
3 of America's most notorious outlaws
Will be executed for their crimes
Together the states of Michigan and California
Will conduct the executions behind prison walls
The 3 prisoners are set to be executed by 3 separate methods
Electric chair, hanging, and firing squad
Midnight tonight will mark the first execution
Death waits in my cell I can smell him
Somebody tell him that I still breathe, leave
I'm alive I'll never see 25
Yet still I can feel, I'm real
When it all happened I was in the lime light
News, camera, gaven killer stamina
Another year I'm here but forgotten
Skin is rotting feeling old, cold
Motherfucker in a robe gonna sentence me to die in a metal chair
Fizzle my nut hair
Bad enough I'll be dead
Yet I'm tryin to figure out a way
To keep my eyes from poppin out my head
Oh they'll remember my ass
Twitchin, with my eyes drippin down the glass
Shaggy I think they're tryin to start a riot
And then it's Ice T but he don't seem fazed by it
I know the devil's waitin on me
But does God like him playin his role in killin me though
Lock me up until I die maybe
But you can never tell
We might sharing a cell in hell
Cause, my last request was
Let my homies smoke my ashes and catch a Violent J buzz
One more thing before you hit that switch
Please tell my momma that I'm sorry, I never
(Chorus x2)
Dead end no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why? I, never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
The lights dimmed in my cell block
Cause all the power they got surged into one spot
J's chair hear him screamin, fully loaded
It was funny at first till his head exploded
It's something else for me
Another kill just as wicked
But cheaper on the light bill
It all starts with a thick rope
Make a noose and I'm gone
Stretch out my neck bone
Minutes left I think about my brother
When we was young...
Wait I don't have a brother
What the fuck?
My minds in a tangle
I wish somebody was here that I could strangle
I keep waking up on the floor
Cause I strangle myself but what the fuck for?
Haha starin at the cracks on the walls
Whistlin necks, fidgetin my balls
Kill me it'll still all be the same
Wicked clown juggalo phantom of the night train
What if I drop, but don't die
Tie weights to my legs
And give it another try
Still coming think of something, I speak
I'm not feelin so hot let's go for it next week
Didn't work, I pulled down my collar
At least they won't be hearin me holla
My neck shut
(Chorus x2)
Dead end no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why? I, never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
A bit past 1: 30 a.m. now
And the 3rd prisoner slowly makes his way
To the disignated spot on prison grounds
Where he will be executed by way of firing squad
I got seven bitches aiming at me
My backs against the wall
If I only had my strap then I could plug 'em all
Watch 'em fall
But they got my ass tied up behind this wall
So the homies can't ride up
Known killer in fact I killed the most
At random though some of them I planned 'em
Fuck it, I kicked your bucket for you, floor you
Got more guns if there's more of ya
War with the cops no prob
They shouldn't took the job
Blow holes throught they heads like donuts
Grown-ups, kids and girls
Gather round and get gunned down
I do it for the fun of it, adrenaline rush
Coked up quick to bust
Plus I love my dust
Gun son, watch the blood run son
I'm on one, muthafuckas
But check it this time I'll be the one dissected
I can't wait to feel the heat when lead and flesh meets
Bitter sweet baby, I been waiting for this
Go straight to hell kick it with the rest of my clique
Fuck a blindfold I wanna look 'em deep in they eyes
So they can see the fool's face of a dog as he dies
Plus I wanna see the muthafuckas squeeze
I got a hot date with my soul mate
Bust I can't wait
(Chorus x4)
Dead end no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why? I, never wanna die
Hey do what you want, but don't do it around me.
Idleness and dissipation breed apathy.
I sit on my ass all goddamn day,
A misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to
Say what you must, do all you can,
Break all the fucking rules and
Go to Hell with Superman and
Die like a champion, yeah hey!
Hey I don't know if the billions will survive,
But I'll believe in God when 1 and 1 are 5.
My moniker is man and I'm rotten to the core.
I'll tear down the building just to pass through the door.
So do what you must, do all you can,
Break all the fucking rules and
Go to Hell with Superman and
choose a direction which
way you gonna go? you
chose rejection because
you didn't know what he
can do for you what he
has done for me
the purpose we've been
waiting for the purpose
that we want to see why
won't you see the signs
there's a dead end
between the lines it
looks impressive now
just wait cause you will
see all those things let
you down including you
and me there's more
than meets the eye so
much more to know
learn to think more
clearly and i know that
Do it boy
Do it boy
Do what you wanna do
Do it boy
Do it boy
Do what you wanna do
My flesh is your flesh but your tongue is mine
Use it to enter my lovehungry shrine
Rub me with honey tasty and sweet
Dress me with passion juices and meat
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
You're sexy so full of lust
Touch me here oh yeah you must
Feel my body it's just for you
Now do it boy do what you wanna do
Creature of pleasure more is my name
Your mouth is a teaser it drives me insane
Bite me to hurt me do as you please
When you feel me coming you stop yeah you tease
Oh baby you do it right
I'm longing to feel your bite
I'm crazy but I want you
So do it boy do what you wanna do
Beat me and eat me I'm drowning in sweat
I'm on my way yes I'm soaking wet
Thunder and lightning explode in my brain
This is the balance 'tween pleasure and pain
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
You make me come and you make me scream
You found your way in my dirty dream
I'm your slave oh yes it's true
But what you do I can do too
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
Do what you wanna do (x3) to me
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Well I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among the hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What decides when you've lost the war
When the first man falls
Or when they've erased it all
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
It's the next disaster
Scream your lungs out
Wait for Laughter
You don't have to wait forever
[Chorus]
Start it up and load it
We about to unfold it
Bring that dynamite baby coz tonight we about to explode it
Get moving, moving, get your body grooving
[Do what you want] [2x]
Here goes another mighty blow that change your soul forever
When the music hits you, you will feel no pain except for pleasure
We put it on you, we from California la la-la-la-la
Los Angeles natives creating things that take you higher
Elevate you past the stars
Infiltrating clubs and bars
End this now and act a fool
If your loss is what to do
Bounce, shake, wiggle and break
Let yourself go, open up the gates
And proceed the stampede
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
[Chorus]
Hello, it's me F-E-R-G-I-E that's Fergie baby
In the place to be with BEP we keep it locked and sturdy
We always rocking never stopping no la-la-la la-la-la la
We keep it constant shocking often from Boston to Austin
It's T-to-the-A, B-double-O
Tab magnetic, rocking this show
Taking over beat when sees frequent
On the radio, it's the delinquent
Coz Tab be nimble, Tab be quick
Watch the girls fall in love with Taboo's stick
I watch it like that, and I watch it like this
You can't catch it and it's something that you can't miss
[Chorus]
Do what you want [4x]
Mayday, no delay, deliver the rhyme
Express rate, next day, get to you on time
Make way for the mash out, when we roll out
My crew, we don't fall out, we just pass out
[Wake up] Time to get moving
Time to get the body live, body live moving
Party powerful flows, the way we rocking them show
The way we spittin' the rhymes and break it on down to the floor
Break, bounce, boogie and wiggle it
Do it, now, time to get into it
Break, bounce, do what you feel
Do what you want and let it all out
[Oh, just do what you want today, coz it's OK
To leave responsibilities sometimes]
Start it up and load it
We about to unfold it
Bring that dynamite baby coz tonight we about to explode it
Get moving, moving, get your body grooving
[In ignorance] [2x]
Crash into the room
Scared to turn the lights on
Like a ticking time bomb
She's confused
Living in a rush
And in this place of passion
What's a boy to do
I swore I'd never come back
To this place of combat
It's all in the news
When you're turning heart strings
Music in the dark sings
Dark things
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Cold to the bone
I cannot remember much from that December
Bruised and alone
Pushing through the rough tide
Keep it on the inside
This time
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
You want to me
You want to me
Can you see the girl who put a hole through my heart
Driving through the town by myself in the car
Coping in the night like a wolf in the dark
But watch out for that bitch called Karma
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what youÿ want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Do what you want
Do what you want to me
Just do what you want
Just do what you want
Just do what you want
to what end do we
proceed so boldly
if all we are is
chemical reactions
and what world have you
deftly sold me
if you reduce me
if I have no soul to touch
no heart to love
no evil to rise up above
no angels and no ghosts
no real victories to toast
if you believe that this is true
then I must ask
to what end do you proceed
NO FIRE IN OUR EYES
NO STEEL IN OUR HEARTS
NO MAGIC IN OUR SONGS
ARE WE JUST EMPTY VESSELS
did I not feel your love
did I not feel your hate
and did my heart not beat
and did my heart not break
and are these tears for naught
and are these worlds in vain
if this is all we are then what
HAVE WE TO GAIN
What of all the art and books
music and poetry
What of all our memories
What of OUR HOPES AND DREAMS
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you
Be a sinner or a saint
Take the beauty over brains
On your Malcolm, draw the X's on the eyes
Fill it in or leave it blank
Be the hero or the crank
Undercover with a secret alibi
Do what you want
Just say so
Open up your mind
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No one's gonna care nothing
So ready or not
Here we come
Walk into the night
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No one's gonna care if we disappear
On your knees or on your back
Oversee Johnny attack
I'm forever like I'm done plenty time
Laugh your fingers in your fist
Twist your lips into a kiss
Cross your heart, go into the open wild
Do what you want
Just say so
Open up your mind
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No one's gonna care nothing
So ready or not
Here we come
Walk into the night
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No one's gonna care if we disappear
And where we're going is so far away
And there I sigh
I know together we could find a place
That's where we are just who we are
So do what you want
Just say so
Open up your mind
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No one's gonna care at all
So ready or not
Here we come
Walk into the night
Doesn't matter at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Once I had a close friend
I knew him for quite a while
He seemed alright to me
We had this deal together
Tied up my money and time
And then he went away
Taking all that was mine
Oh, well, things crumble to an end
Hell, we all die in the end
Die in the end
Once it was fun to worry
About who was in control
Could look into the future
But now it don't seem right
Passion is filling the air
Profits are better than life
And things are harder to bear
It's a dead end
Dead end
Dead end
Once I had a lover
I knew her for quite a while
She seemed alright to me
But then she was gone
She took my lovin' and time
Taking all that was mine
And leaving me far behind
It's a dead end
Dead end
Someone called the other day
Said old Teddy Greenstreets passed away
They buried him on Saturday,
They said it was a lovely way to go
In his sleep, didn't know a thing
His wife couldn't go
Her second husband took her uptown to a show
His sons and daughters emigrated said,
It cost too much to travel home
Sent a wreath and a sheath.
Isn't it a shame that no one came
The funeral was quiet, but all the same
He's much better off where he is now
Rest in peace, Teddy.
Someone called the other day

Hallelujah can tell this
Devin's got some shit wouldn't give a fuck if you dissed
Because shit to each's own and each owns voice
You can be stealin killin or chillen whateva your choice
Smoke some weed smoke ya pipe fuck it
Life if how you live it
I grab tha mic while tha DJ groove it (turntable scratch noise)
Explicit lyrics is what um known to kick
Trying to make money so I can make honeys blow on mah dick
I go on a quick mission to find some kil'
Ain't no big deal, just hop in tha Seville
Mah homey put me down quarter pound for a bill
Wake up in tha morning and I have weed still and I chill
With tha brothas sippin coffee
Too old to be listenin' into what you say so hoe get off me
You're born in this world by ya self and you die alone
So as long as ya grown ya might as well gone and just
[Chorus]
Do what tha fuck you wanna do (Go ahead and just)
Say what tha fuck you wanna say
What did it all mean?
Say what you want hoe ya grown
You make decisions on your own
No one would suffer but you
So do what tha fuck you wanna do
Now everybody's got elders and you should respect um
They been through similar shit but then again you can't let um
Put they hands on ya life like a remote control
Have you travelin down tha same bumpy tore up road
Now close friends and relatives they should be constantly by ya side
And understand you gotta let ya conscience be your guide
There'll finally come a time for ya self you must decide
Cause you only get a ticket might as well enjoy tha ride and just
[Chorus]
And there's a couple of fucked up man made rules that we should follow
But you gotta realize you just might not wake up tomorrow
And tha dollar you earn is tha dolla you spend
Go get sumthin for ya kids or buy a bottle of gin
Is it a sin? I 'ont (don't) know
What X and O's in this game
Tryin to survive, tryin to get high, tryin to get by and stay alive
So (Do it till ya satisfied) Not just a lil bit
But wait until ya eighty and start sayin what you couldda did
But what did it all mean?
Say what you want hoe ya grown
You make decisions on your own
No one would suffer but you
So do what tha fuck you wanna do
I-I know it's time to realize,
I-I know the love you felt for me has died,
I-I try to cope with the pain inside
but I just realize that I cannot hide the feelings that I have inside...
Can you hear me?
I-I know it's hard to understand,
but girl you gotta know,
you made me be a different man,
I-I don't want you to feel no guilt inside,
I just want to stay friend but I feel the fear girl that I never can
Chorus:
You gotta do what you wanna do,[hear me]
still remember what I feel for you,[hear me]
you gotta do what you wanna do,[hear me]
still remember that I care for you,[hear me]
I don't want to see our friendship die,
I know we need to seperate ways,
but I don't know why
I hope someday we both will see,
that girl our friendship was created for eternity
Chorus
You want to drink till you can't see
You want to latch on for sympathy
You want to fight with people you know
You want to go where the assholes go
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want
You're on the run, you're on a roll
You can kill yourself, don't think I'd stop you
You can do anything, just don't involved me
You can take drugs, act like you're free
You want to destroy others property
You want to steal from all your friends
Do that shit again and again
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want
You've hit a new low, now you're on a roll
You think I care, what you do?
You can do what you want,
But I won't clean up when you are through
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
Do what you want but don't you do it to me
I saw you standing alone across the crowded room
You look so fine oh baby
But I knew you wouldn't make the move
So what am I supposed to do with you
Looking but you just don't act
You gotta make your move
And it aint in the groove
Come on now baby don't hold back
So you gotta
Throw away your inhibitions
Come on and make the man's decision
Tell me now what is your ambition
Show me all the things that I've been missing
Do what you wanna
Say what you gotta
Be what you wanna be with me baby
Sooner or later your gonna have to
Do what you wanna do with me yeah
Out on the sidewalk
You're acting like you just come out there
Don't disappoint me baby
I know that you're concerned that you care
So you gotta
Throw away your inhibitions
Come on and make the man's decision
Tell me now what is your ambition
Show me all the things that I've been missing
When you gonna show me that you understand (please baby)
When you gonna treat me like your a man (Please baby)
Come on show ya now
Do what you wanna (Do what you wanna)
Be what you wanna (be what you wanna)
Sooner or later your gonna have to
Trivial thought cross my mind
Loose ends keep me occupied, yeah
Ugly little details get to me
As I catch up on reality
These sad and stupid snippets
Revolting rags of you and me, yeah
Remind me of what really matters
And how much you care for me
So easily thrown out of balance
I'm stuck inside myself
Surrender would be a challenge
If I could find the other half
Overruling all your arguments,
Even when I know you're right
Sustaining my lack of confidence
Could be easy but not quite,
So easily thrown out of balance
I'm stuck inside myself
Surrender would be a challenge
'Progress' is not progress, it is everlasting destruction
Technology is backwards
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Modern civilization, a contradiction in terms
In terms of survival
Man is made to obey the...
Are we nothing but living...
MACHINE - a dead hand, it's work expresses death
No spirit in it's skeletal framework
The falsification of Man, to what end?
TO WHAT END?
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Perverted ingenuity of Man
Fools, we've lost out earthly wisdom
Not the way of nature
In a man-made state of disarray
Fight for your life
Round one, the time as come
You habe to do what must be done
Look in his eyes, he's just a man
Like you he ca bleed and die in the end
Turn around, understand, analyse
Find his strenght, his weakness and his heart
Always remember, your knowledge is a weapon
Your knowledge is a weapon
Vengeance is like a dead end
Use all you have to bring this asshole down
Fight for your life
Round two, war's a weapon
No mercy, the danger is in front of you
Strike first, with all your rage
Strike hard not to fall in disgrace
He's your enemy, the one you have to stop
He sure he won't hurt you anymore
Final round, just one more kick...
Keep control
Watch him bleed
Stop and think! victory leads to suffering suffering
Your knowledge is a weapon
Vengeance is like a dead end
In this case, law's nothing
i looked at you eith curiostiy but when you looked back, i turend away and i rember when you first spoke to me you told me you didn't want to live life day to day and i could see, if not for me you didn't have to die you seemed so confused, you could never decide if there was a problem you'd just run away and hide we seemed to agree there was no solution in suicide so why'd you feel compelled to go and take your life i never understood how you could end that way but i hadn't see you much berfore that final day and when you looked for me, i was out of sight
waiting for a train to catch
waiting for the perfect match
waiting for someone to make a call
if only you had to make a change
every day and every night
as every hour goes
Today, tonight
tomorrow, the next night
too long too late
till then I'll wait
waiting for the plane to crash
waiting how long can you stand
and you hope it never ends
every day and every night
as every hour goes
Today, tonight
tomorrow,the next night
too long too late
Another dead end in the game that we play
Roaming through the never in a labyrinth of lust
Too many paths I’ve crossed running from myself
Hiding from the sunlight blind against the sight
Now I know it was written before the time existed
Out of this world beyond the last horizon
Here I am I stepped into the circle
Cracked and chained by fear of a pleasure unknown
Chorus
We’re playing major rolls in a symphony of sorrow
Where ashes turn to ashes and dust turn to dust
We can fool nobody with this fire in our eyes
Tryin’ to make the paradise in this mortal world of rust
Bad dreams are fading like stream in the snow
Eyes of destiny fixed us like the twist of a knife
Are we writing a prelude to the opera of pain
Or a simple happy ending in another tale of life
Dead-end bosses are after me like a bad dream come to life
Working a 9 to 5 'till the day I die lets have a dog two kids and a wife
A two week vacation yeah every year just to make sure that I survive
Because somebody higher they want me there
Big money making just a pie in the sky
A credit card and a car or two will make sure that my mind is numb
Don't forget sir "the little things in life"
Keeps ya right under the thumb
AND AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE
More is said than done
AND AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DON'T
We're the ones who cock a loaded gun
Politicians up in parliament-they all claim they're telling my truth
But I'll ask 'em where all the moneys spent
And then find I'm getting the screw
And with the help of big-time companies
Who overlook our democracy
Well people like us don't stand a chance
Can hardly eat a meal G.E free
So I sit back and turn on the dotted screen
What does it mean to you or me
I'll tell ya they're sellin' us all far too short
For images none of us can be
[Chorus]
Well - I'm not saying I - I'm always right
I just question everything that I'm told
I simply won't die here begging on my knees
'Cause if there's an office in the sky
Surrounded by glass where fat cats dream cities of gold
Gonna go out there and plant me some trees
Oh, what's wrong with me?
Said, "Oh, what's wrong with me?"
I know, what I don't wanna be
A dead end on the family tree
And I just lost my virginity
To a girl who won't remember me at all
Took her out on a shopping spree
Happiness never happened for free
Could it be, that I imagined things
I'm just sad instead of heartbroken
She came home but she's leavin' again
She's coming back but she won't say when
And I don't sing songs anymore
I don't feel young anymore
And it's hard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for real
Any more
My Pop says, "I should be like him"
My Mom says, "I can live with them"
I had to ask my little brother to lend
Me change for the bus till I see him again
I'm getting drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop Street
She read my hand and the future is bleak
I'm tired of sitting upon the fence
I've got no self-confidence
Why don't I have a circle of friends?
I'm so square they don't even pretend
And I don't sing songs anymore
I don't feel young anymore
And it's hard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for real
Any more
Don't give in, don't give in
You can never let them win
Don't give in, don't give in
But I get cold
(Ah)
I get cold
Every night, night, night
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
Oh, I get cold
Yeah, I get cold
Every night, night, night
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
Oh no
Oh, what's wrong with me?
Said, "Oh Lord, what's wrong with me?"
I know, what I don't wanna be
A dead end on the family tree
And the train for my salvation
Is departing from the station
She don't feel like conversation
So, I'm talking to myself
I got nobody else
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes
Down from the shelf
And I don't sing songs anymore
I don't feel young anymore
And it's hard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for real
Any more
I’ve been heading home
I’ve been going wrong
It’s been this way for so long
Let me hear you say it
(I’ve been heading home)
Let me hear you say
(I’ve been going wrong)
It’s been this way for so long
(It’s been this way for so long)
You do what you wanna do
And say what you wanna say
So, come on and be my light
Come on and lead the way
And people speak I hear them saying
You won’t last another day
You keep me hanging on
I won’t ever be gone
We know that something is wrong
Let me hear you say it
(I’ve been heading home)
Let me hear you say
(I’ve been going wrong)
It’s been this way for so long
(It’s been this way for so long)
You do what you wanna do
And say what you wanna say
So, come on and be my light
Come on and lead the way
And people speak I hear them saying
You won’t last another day
You do what you wanna do
And say what you wanna say
So, come on and be my light
Come on and lead the way
And people speak I hear them saying
You won’t last another day
My dear loaded friend
Please hear what I'm saying
You're not gonna win
At this game you're playing
You'll go straight to hell
If you go anywhere
I tell you this
Only because I care
Slow down friend
Your wicked ways you've got to mend
Hit the brakes my friend
You're headed for a dead end
You're pulling the wool
Over everyone's eyes
When you say that you're clean
While you savor your highs
Yes, you are slick
And I'm just a fool
But the Devil
Is gonna take you to school
You knew you were losing the game you were in
When you had to do time for heroin
You turned to the Lord and you got salvation
But you thought it would be different with some medication
After your completion of a famous rehab
Your doctor prescribed you some Loritab
It helped your anxiety and general pain
But the pilot was ignited and now you're insane
You say it's from a doctor so it doesn't count
You have a real prescription for a medical amount
You speak sober lingo but your eyes are pinned
You'd suck my cock for some Vicodin
Like so many before, you developed "bad back"
And to cool it down, took a chunk o' smack
One day at a time you sell your soul
Submerged in denial, you're out of control
The real things in your life are up on the shelf
Like most of us, I guess, you've got to find out for yourself
You don't want a square telling you what to do
The rules of the road don't apply to you
But when I look in your eyes, my heart gets the knife
Cuz you made a wrong turn on the road of life
I'm only trying to flag you down my friend
I saw you standing alone across the crowded room
You look so fine oh baby
But I knew you wouldn't make the move
So what am I supposed to do with you
Looking but you just don't act
You gotta make your move
And it aint in the groove
Come on now baby don't hold back
So you gotta
Throw away your inhibitions
Come on and make the man's decision
Tell me now what is your ambition
Show me all the things that I've been missing
[chorus]
Do what you wanna
Say what you gotta
Be what you wanna be with me baby
Sooner or later your gonna have to
Do what you wanna do with me yeah
Out on the sidewalk
You're acting like you just come out there
Don't disappoint me baby
I know that you're concerned that you care
So you gotta
Throw away your inhibitions
Come on and make the man's decision
Tell me now what is your ambition
Show me all the things that I've been missing
[chorus]
When you gonna show me that you understand (please baby) [X3]
When you gonna treat me like your a man (Please baby) [X2]
Come on show ya now
[chorus X2]
Do what you wanna (Do what you wanna)
Be what you wanna (be what you wanna)
Sooner or later your gonna have to
Do what you wanna do with me yeah
Stay tonight
Let me hold you like I never did before
Take my arms
And let me hold you like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about this
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm
Still here
So before you let me go
Take my hands
Let me touch you like I never did before
Take my heart and let me love you
Like I never did before
Like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I'm still here
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
And we see ourselves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So before you let me go
Before you let me go
Save the dance and let me spin you
Till your world is turning round and round
Round and round, round and round
Save the chance and let me show you
Just like you need a little more
Just like you need a little more
And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I'm still here
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
Until we see ourselves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So much harder than before
So before you let me go
Before you let me go
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
Until we see ourselves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So much harder than before
But we wast it every time
Now my heart is on the line
And now we bruise with every step
When we're closing every door
Can we make it easier
So you were born in an electrical storm, took a bite out the sun and saw your future in a machine built
for two. Now your rays make me kind of go crazy, shock and awe and amaze me, just a ticker tape parade and
me, but something was wrong till you tap danced on the air, in the night. Screaming at the top of your
lungs, you said, "Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Oh come on come on come on,
come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want." Come on.
Me, I was raised amid the trickle-down days. I woke up numb in the haze and saw my future machine built
for two, but the light gave me some kind of fright. How did wrong get so right and lead me stumbling
through the dark of night? Oh something was wrong, but you tap danced on the air, in the night, Screaming
at the top of your lungs you said, "Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Oh come on
come on come on, come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you
Yeah, the life goes on
But something’s wrong
‘cause the beer has lost it’s taste
Yes, the life goes on
But I can’t go on
I’ve got no more years to waste
Yeah, the life goes on
And I try to hold on
‘cause I’ve got no guts to go
Yes, the life goes on
So what’s going on
Is this all that the world can show
Bad situation, no use trying
Lying on the floor, loudly crying
All that time and money I spent
Just to end up here, dead end
Yeah, the life goes on
I’d better move on
There’s something beyond belief
Yes, my life goes on
And now I know
Take it easy my friend
Grab the chance will you can
It's time for us to move on
Let the world sing you a song
Take it easy my friend
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Theres a magic in the air tonight
High in the light of your sky
You've got to do what you wanna do
(Do what you wanna do)
Say what you wanna say
(Say what you wanna say)
Do what you wanna do
And don't be afraid
As long as everybodies happy
And everybodies feeling okay
You've got to do what you wanna do
Say what you wanna say, now
Make it easy my friend
Cause the sour will come down
Just be true to yourself
Everything will be alright
Take it easy my friend
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Theres a magic in the air tonight

I once hit a dead end, between me and all of my friends
I really don't know what happened but I sure would like to know
I guess things just weren't going right, not keeping with the flow
Beyond my comprehension, the hell if i know
Round and round i go, where it stops, I wish I knew
My life is fading so fast, and my car is running out of gas
Where did all the time go, i just don't know
Yes you ought to tell me why I am at a dead end
You told me how easy it's been, just to play me like a fool
All my friends are leaving me, now you tell me you are too?
I've just been so rejected, now i am feeling so neglected
All my life in dirty chains
all my days hopin' you remain
Like the life that we all live
with the brians we can't control
In the bottom of darkness you are
Try to find a solution that is not coming
Rise up and find a friend
Alesteir Crowley, Rabelais, Gargantua
I want that you do what you want
do what you want, so you can be
I want that you do what you want
do what you want, so you can be
Cut away your head, because
all the thoughts, that you have, are wrong
When your brain is very clean
a new flower there can grow
In the bottom of darkness you are
Try to find a solution that is not coming
Rise up and find a friend
Alesteir Crowley, Schopenhauer, Krisnamurti
I want that you do what you want
do what you want, so you can be
I want that you do what you want
do what you want, so you can be

I want that you do what you want

Hold on, there's a hole in my heart
everyone can see right through me
it goes all the way to the waves
where my love she tried to wash it away
see we break for the summers
so she can find lovers
she treats them like a bottle of wine
they make you dinner
and they sing you to sleep
but by the morning find the bottle is empty
'cause she never gives it the time
every bottle she finds
they don't compare
to the ones she left behind
there is never a note
so she waits for me to come back home
I'm looking for a dead end song
you wish that smoke
could change its color
I love it when you talk so much
and act like nothing went wrong
I'm looking for a dead end song
while we sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to keep you by my side
holding off tidal waves
"mint car" is keeping us warm
she lays crossed upon the bed
we are puzzles making shapes
with our hands
I take my finger, turn into a pen
then i run my hand down your spine
you guess i wrote something profound
something like:
"our love will last 'til we die"
I say "you're good at this game"
but what I really wrote is
"how I've yet to be saved"
Yeah there you go in your hard way
Now you're bending fundamental rules of reality
Can you calm down just for a while
Are you brave enough just staying on safe ground
All I say, do what you want to do
No, don't you lock away your serious heart
Or you would tear my insider ways apart
Well it's foolish misery and foolish pride
That can keep that little light locked up deep inside
All I say, do what you want to do
And I wanna be as close as I can
Wanna hold that burning flame
Won't you let it contain my whole hand
Where are you going with your wreeking machine
I just want to help when you feel abandoned
All I can do is try to poison the seed
The thought that holds you down
It multiples round you
Up in your head where are you going
Where are you going now friend
Fighting against the dead end
It sets off like a fire alarm in a city made of ice
But still you just surrender
And I can see it’s got a hold on you now
The thought that holds you down now
It multiplies around you
Up in your head where you going
Where are you going now friend
You’re fighting against the dead end
Up in your head where re you going
Where re you going now friend
You’re fighting against the dead end
I want to help
I want to help you out
I want to help
Up in your head where are you going
Where are you going now friend
Where are you going now friend
Up in your head where are you going
Where are you going now friend
(to God)
Deep in the river
Flowing as fire in my chest
So much that you can see
Though this shell of a man that i detest
Make of me something
That you can use
If only two hands for passing time
Erase my ego
With a glimpse of your image so divine
And mold my body in your hands
For i am only clay
Not hardened yet
I have no offering for thee
But the emptiness in me
Do what you want with me
Do what you want
Come to me like sleep
And walk me across the great devine
Between what the whole world sees
And what i really feel inside
Make of me something you can use
If only the shoes to hold you feet
Breathe life into me
Make whole what is now so imcomplete
And you can pick any canvas lady
For i am only paint
Wet to the touch
I have no offering for thee
But the song you hear me singing
Do what you want with me
Do what you want
Im only half a man
And i don't deserve your hands
Making me whole
Mold my body in your hands
For i am only clay
Not hardened yet
I have no offering for thee
But the song you hear me singning
Do what you want with me
around the world say I'm bitter
but I can say I'm not a quitter
and you can't
and people
no they don't apologize
that why we have to
advertise in the paper
I can't make you stop and
listen that won't save you.
I can't believe
everybody wants to party
all night long until the
birds are singing
so do what you want to do
be what you want to be
live how you want to live
if you want to be free
then your going to be free
people
don't you know its not polite
to point and stare
no that's no the way to show you care
about the way you live, but I
bet you don't give a
And people
you've got to give it up with gratitude
but you only did it cause I told you to
well too bad
so sad
hope I didn't make you mad
I can't make you stop and

Burnett
Make a decision, you can't turn around
It's complete, it's finally killing you
You're lackin' precision, it bothers you so
You can't make it without someone tellin' you.
Do what you want, there is always a way
In this life you've been given
Don't throw any of it away
Make her your lady and keep her alive
With your love and good feelin'
She'll know if you're tryin'.
There's no execution, you've fallen behind
In a world where it's all up ahead of you
You've seen the solution, you say you know why
There's a tear in the eye you've been seeing through.
Do what you want, there is always a way
In this life you've been given
Don't throw any of it away
Make her your lady and keep her alive
With your love and good feelin'
[Verse 1:]
I'm thinking it was said and done
And now I gotta break it down
I thought that you plus me would equal more than one
I guess you really never learned your math
Cause you said it best you're, 'Mr I Keep It Real'
When it's 'bout us you never tell me how you really feel
That's how you handle things; you got a lot to learn
Keep playing dirty games don't you know you're 'bout to lose your turn
[Chorus:]
(Ooooh, I think I'm done, I think I'm done with you)
I, can't, even recognise you anymore
Don't wanna think about it, don't wanna talk about it
Fool, that's what you take me for but you
Can't even notice you're the reason we keep getting nowhere
(We getting nowhere, we getting nowhere, we getting, we getting, we getting no- no-no-no, we
Getting nowhere, we getting nowhere, we getting, we getting, we getting no- no-no-no-nooo
[Verse 2:]
Now that I think about it, you wasn't worth no time
You think you're shining on them, you must be just as blind
Heard it a thousand times, a thousand times won't change my mind
All these lame excuses, keep tryina find, wanna play, somebody press rewind
So you can watch it over, look at who you really playing
Keep messing with me boy, but you don't really know what you missing
Til you miss me
[Chorus:]
(Ooooh, I think I'm done, I think I'm done with you) Yeahh, I think I'm done, I think I'm done
Can't recognise you anymore
Don't wanna think about it, don't wanna talk about it ohhh
Fool, that's what you take me for but you
Can't even notice you're the reason we keep getting nowhere
(We getting nowhere, we getting nowhere, we getting, we getting, we getting no- no-no-no, we
Getting nowhere, we getting nowhere, we getting, we getting, we getting no- no-no-no-noooo
Ahhh yeah
Oooo yeah,
Ohhh ohhhh
Ahhhh ooooohh
Oohhh fool, that's what you take me for but you
Can't even notice you're the reason we keep getting nowhere

Death is coming to take you away.
You try to hide but there is no escaping.
Every second is a countdown to the end of your world.
And time is drawing near when all your treasures will burn.
Deception had held your hand, and led you down the path of lies.
The four walls around you will only satisfy your eyes.
Life is more than what you own.
Your status, your possessions, will fade away.
And you'll be left alone.
It's time to face the judge.
The scales of life have weighed you.
And your pride has held you down.
Any day could be your last one.
Where will you run when the walls cave in?
Chorus:
Now I got money in my pocket, I can buy whatever that I want
Wheels in the garage, I can drive whatever that I want
Females in the club, I can get whoever that I want
I do anything I want, I do anything

Wheels in the garage, I can drive whatever that I want
Females in the club, I can get whoever that I want

It's just how the shit goes,...
Cause real niggers our way is getting chose
They say is still in my flow
Rapping like they don't, neah
They done it before, so I'm more like a swagger coach
Nigger... on me... talking about me
Don't you know she was...
When they look in the mirror I'm all they see.

And I shoot your ass in different palce4
Then I leave your ass in different places.
Damn! my wife, your entertainment
Ignore the ignore...
My girl speaking different language
In magazine I'm on different places.
Ace of spade, different vases, dug court, different case
Can't here ya, still ya here, repair your ass, renovation
Get money, demonstration, valet parking...
You all don't know my situation
So fuck ya all, penetration!
... can't get up to my separation

We shared the same name
We played the same game
This game called existence
But you were just a bit too intense
You looked at life with a paranoid stare
Trapped in your personal nightmare
You thought you were caught in a dead end
With both legs stuck in a quicksand
[Chorus:]
There was a hole inside of you
But you wouldn't admit it was true
Filling the void with booze and dope
Around your throat, you tightened the rope
You had already lost touch
You were far away and out of reach
I felt guilty, but can one help
A lonely man who strangles himself?
Life can be fucking cruel
It always changes its own rules
You stopped to play like a fool
With a twelve gauges in the mouth
You pulled the trigger and that's all
Brains splattered on the white wall
You left a letter on the bedside table
Wherein you wrote your last sick fable
I'll always remember this cemetery
And the end of your funeral ceremony
The sun was too bright, splashing its light
But deep inside my heart it was dark as night
I saw this little box full of ashes
And wondered: "Is it all that remains of your past?"
No, you're not condemned to the void
My memories can never be destroyed
Now you're on your knees
You try to free yourself from falling
Am I the only one?
The only one who's seen you crawling
You owe your lesson learned
You, you're the one that fades away
When the road comes to a dead end
You're the one that fades away
I've heard it all before
Always trying to be clever
But now you're on your own
Will you be like this forever?
Forever and ever
And when the road comes to a dead end
Will your lesson be learned?
And when the road comes to a dead end
And you're on your knees
Will you ever see?
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
another pointless day, nothing to show
looking for something, i dont know what
where am i going? what have i got?
dead end
nothing to do
dead end
nowhere to go
dead end
another days through
dead end
still nothing to show
i cant relate to anyone
want to get out, got nowhere to run
need to find something that makes some sense
I know they say that you're a problem child
But you don't look so dangerous to me
Why don't you give 'em your shoes
And make 'em walk for a mile
Maybe they will see how it feels
Amazin' how when you change your perspective
Certain myths come tumbling down
The things you hate in yourself are reflected
No one's to blame but the denial you've found
So just do what you want and don't do what you oughta
Do what you want and don't listen to order
And if you're thinking the end is in sight
Just remember you're still here tonight
So just do what you want and you'll be alright
Well now who's the little girl with the tight dress on
All the boys are goin' insane
Every other girl thinks she's looking too nasty
On Halloween they all dress the same
The social rules we accept like we're good sheep
Don't give me a reason to live
'Cos I intend to have fun while I'm down here
The more I have well the more I can give
So just do what you want and don't do what you oughta
Do what you want and don't listen to order
And if you're thinking the end is in sight
Just remember you're still here tonight
So just do what you want and you'll be alright
And if you're looking for the door to escape
It's on the left by the barbed wire gate
And baby if you take the D out of doubt
What you get is out
Time to jump and shout
Take the D out of doubt
And you can leave it as you walk on out
Amazin' how when you change your perspective
Certain myths come tumbling down
The things you hate in yourself are reflected
But we can change any speed or direction
And we can change it tonight
So just do what you want and don't do what you oughta
Do what you want and don't listen to order
And if you're thinking the end is in sight
Just remember you're still here tonight
So just do what you want and you'll be alright
Do what you want
Do what you want
I'll turn out [Incomprehensible]
Do what you want
Do what you want
Do what you want
Here I am, I'm alone again,
I ran into another dead end,
I've got no friends in sight to bail me out,
This is what my life is all about,
I take a look around,
And all I see,
Is just a broken hearted reminder,
Of who I used to be,
And I just can't take it,
So I drink my life away,
I live the same sad story,
Since you've gone away.
Everywhere I got and everywhere I've been,
It's the same sad story again and again,
I'm all out of money and got nowhere to go,
Where can you fall when there's nothing below?
I take a look around,
And all I see,
Is just a broken hearted reminder,
Of who I used to be,
And I just can't take it,
So I drink my life away,
I live the same sad story,
things are always on my mind
flashing scenes, waste of time
reality caught up with me
my own brain´s insanity
fight like hell push you away
pop some pills another day
like a knife stuck in my back
jacked up in my own attack
I thought taht, I could just be me
it´s not that way I clearly see
tha dead end has come to be
my best friend and worst enemy
I thought that I could just be free
it´s not that way I clearly see
the dead end, is now in me
lock the door and throw away the key
feel the rage build up inside
count to ten, enjoy the ride
find the things that bring me down
the room is spinning round and round
confusion catches up with me
calm breaks in and sets me free
staight jacket on it fits so well
put me in my padded cell
I thought that, I could just be me
it´s not that way I clearly see
the dead end has come to be
my best friend and worst enemy
I thought that I could just be free
it´s not that way I clearly see
the dead end, is now in me

I'm goin to give her everything her body wants from me
Everybody that came with me is paid
and ain't no mommies in here, were tryin to save
but the way that you movin got me in a daze
so you go be leavin in the Escalade, so tell me
(chorus)
What do you want from me? baby...
Now baby shake for me (shake your thang)
Yes I wanna see,(you know i wanna see)
bring out the freak in me (you bring out the freak in me)
shake it for me on the dance floor
shake it baby lets get down
I wanna see your body move for me
I wanna see your body move for me, so baby shake for me
And it goes like
A chick with a cost
she take whatever
body look tougher in her jeans but greater
in leather get dress chose more whips
than chasing the weather
so when it's hot top down
stone beats forever baby tell me what you want for me
poppin bottles of crisi
rollin off exctasy
my clique is growin up vi
and when you next to me the world is yours
my city on lock so here's the key
keep it movin haters faces tatooed
in a colorful gators with players
throw your hands up if you gettin that paper
it's major, chickens blowin up my cell and my pager
tellin me come to the club got Av and the Gator

(chorus)
What do you want from me?
Now baby shake for me (shake babe)
Yes I wanna see (I wanna see you)
Bring out the freak in me

I wanna see your body move for me
I wanna see your body shake for me

(Added limbs)
If your from the West where you shake it at
If your from the East where you shake it at
If your from the North where you shake it at
If your from the Dirty Dirty where you shake it at
and if you pop cris where you shake it at
and if you push whips where you shake it at
and if you rock ice where you shake it at
tell me now, tell me where you shake it at
it ain't easy man, huh it might look like
glamor life to ya cuz you see me ridin
rings on pinkies you digg
watches on arms you digg
chains around neck you digg
but if you want to get to this static you gone have to
work baby... I see you at the top holla
You say you need a friend, but I came at a dead end
It’s unwinding now, where I won’t walk again.
I won’t walk again.
This I still mention, our friends fall into the sea,
This I still mention, get used to your eyes only.
This I still mention, blow out to spray your softer feet.
As your auction says.
Off this fight on to a dream, fiction for reality,
Let’s shout it out in pictures,
You’re losing grip on everything, everything.
This I still mention, our friends fall into the sea,
This I still mention, traitors to your eyes.
I’ll lay.
Still see your quire connection between the past and
present.
Still see a quire connection
Between the person you wanted the best tonight to your
scare.
Still see a quire connection between your past and
present,
Still see a quire connection
Between the person you wanted the best tonight to your
scare.
[Shock G talking]
Welcome to a world where Rhythm is life.
And life is Green.
Yeah.
All you need in this life is Rhythm & Green.
And as a people we was born with Rhythm
now let's get the green, know what I mean?
Comin out the Yay Area we present to you.... Rhythm & Green.
[Verse 1: Rame Royal]
I'm zonin off lime and Hennessy
Jones and I got that remedy
in a ball cap
to camoflauge the identity
my entourage relentlessly
sells ya'll crack
in big or small sacks
to all cats
even enemies get served with a deposit
that's hustla logic
I'm fully drunk
I burn hemp plants
of skunk in my closet
matchin a composite
facin maximum penalties
but to avoid it, I blast 'em an make 'em memory
can't infiltrate my infantry
infamous for takin street
rap to new dimensions we
intiventaly pimpin beats
mack freaks
back to Atlanta and D.C.
niggas bubblin like phantoms
so give us three feet
hatas grin and bear it
while I keep ridin them Stallions
in gold links
wit 5 karat
diamond medallions
roll out the red carpet slow
we lyrically remarkable
representin the Rhythm & Green's half arsenal.
[Chorus x2: Shock G]
We givin it to the people.
People doin what they want [x2]
The Rhythm we give 'em is 100% pure
We give it to 'em
Do What Ya Want. Uh!
[Verse 2: Crown Jul]
Race out the cribo
ride a stretch limo
rollin up the windows
blowin up indo
we serve purp jumbos
but don't stumble
pick up my young hoe
in my one 'doe
I keep a trunk load
cuz I was born in the city at war
like Desert Storm
to give it to you hardcore
and raw like porn
forced to swarm
to cop dope in the purest of forms
buds greener than the forest
and fully matured
cultivatin in the closet of the dope house
throwin weight juss for the profit in the courts to smoke out
my folks is locced out
a fiend wil get his eye poked out
wit the Port
manuverin coast to coast
on home court
now hut 1,2,3,4
What the fuck we hustle for?
Juss to see mo dope
we bustin 4-4's
cuz heavy metal settles vendettas
niggas is rebels
do whatever for chedder
until they bury us wit shovels.
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: Rame Royal]
Feel free
to feel me
when I bust a Philly
down to fill it wit LG
it's nathin you can tell me
ain't a dream you can sell me
cause real G's do what they please
let's feel the breeze
til the year 2G
my eyes will only see green
but my women come in distored colors
I'm livin better than some
an worse than others
tryin not to get smothered
home grown in the Town my zone
sit on the throne
an place the crown on my dome.
[Verse 4: Crown Jul]
If y'all wonder
I been through it
flow like fluid
and ball under the influence
but uninfluenced
by all the negatives hurt me
and flirtin wit danger
I'd rather live
still workin wit one in the chamber
got this gat that's enormus
rats tryin to pull the curtian on my stellar performance
but protected by a certian umbrella insurance
you couldn't wet this if you wanted to
in the flesh
we Royal right in front of you.
[Chorus x2]
[Shock G talking]
