Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.
Though Perl is not officially an acronym, there are various backronyms in usage, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to oversee development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6. Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. The language provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools, facilitating easy manipulation of text files. Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities.
In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications. Perl is nicknamed "the Swiss Army chainsaw of scripting languages" because of its flexibility and power. In 1998, it was also referred to as the "duct tape that holds the Internet together", in reference to its ubiquity and perceived inelegance.
Larry Wall (born September 27, 1954) is a programmer and author, most widely known for his creation of the Perl programming language in 1987.
Wall grew up in south Los Angeles and then Bremerton, Washington before starting higher education at Seattle Pacific University in 1976, majoring in chemistry and music and later premed with a hiatus of several years working in the university's computing center before graduating with a self-styled bachelor's degree in Natural and Artificial Languages.
While in graduate school at UC Berkeley, Wall and his wife were studying linguistics with the intention afterwards of finding an unwritten language, perhaps in Africa, and creating a writing system for it. They would then use this new writing system to translate various texts into the language, among them the Bible. Due to health reasons these plans were cancelled, and they remained in the U.S., where Larry instead joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory after he finished graduate school.
Wall is the author of the rn
Usenet client and the nearly universally-used patch
program. He has won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest twice and was the recipient of the first Free Software Foundation Award for the Advancement of Free Software in 1998.
Paul Joseph Fenwick (born 25 August 1969 in London, England) is a retired Canadian international association football player.
Fenwick played in Canada for Hamilton Steelers and Winnipeg Fury, in England for Birmingham City and in Scotland for Dunfermline Athletic,St. Mirren,Greenock Morton,Raith Rovers (on loan) and Hibernian.
Fenwick made his debut for Canada in a June 1994 friendly match against Holland and went on to earn a total of 33 caps, scoring no goals. He has represented Canada in 6 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played in the 1996, 2000 and the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
His final international was a November 2003 friendly match against Ireland.

Letting go, of something that you hold close
Why you let it stay around, you just don't know, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Tried to make it work out, but it won't, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
I gotta let this go, once and for all, I'm one voice
Speaking in-between the pauses, waiting for my time
Is it right now or has it passed me by, I magnify
The situation through my glass eye and analyze it
What's real and what's fake? It's blown out of proportion
All the voices in my head sound distorted (do the right thing)
And muffled, I'm stretching my faith muscle, this rap game's a hustle
A struggle to stay humble and trust
Big trouble, in little me, causing complications
I run from confrontation, observations made from a distance
My defense to resist, I'm not convinced
That all my silhouettes can co-exist, so I drift
Into the clouds of God's grace and freedom, feeling like these feelings
Is filling me, with pride and negativity I don't need
And even though at times I felt stepped on
And taken for granted, it's time to heal from the damage
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Why you let it stay around, you just don't know, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Tried to make it work out, but it won't, say
Let it Go
Ay yo, I cipher in the center of this life cycle
It's a rhyme recital written for your safety and survival
It's vital information for a dying generation
My text respiration for the earths restoration
And edification, soul crusade, I tour the states
Eight years rhyming, still improving with age
Making musical wages, moving crowds in all locations
On stages and radio stations, got love for all creation
Rocking the nation I'm patient, motivated to make it
The David vs. Goliath scenario, blasted through your stereo
From every angle and topic, deposit knowledge
Wisdom and logic cautiously, kicking it constantly
A clear conscience and a strategy for the process
Put thoughts in action with active ingredients, actively feeding this
Vision all that it needs, raising havoc
Even when I wreck it here's a method to my madness
Braille Brizzy I'm back, I connect with the
Track, attack and react with raw rap
Cipher in the center of wherever I'm at
When the beat drops it's on, I let loose and blast
Braille Brizzy I'm back, I connect with the
Track, attack and react with raw rap
Cipher in the center of wherever I'm at
Count the cost, I'm gonna make this life count, before I'm down for the count
Count the cost, we're gonna make this life count, before we're down for the count
We, struggle and fight, through the dark of night
And the sharks that bite will give you scars for life
See the stars and stripes, we salute
A never ending pursuit of truth it's true
The permanent we're after, persevere when disaster strikes
Shining light when we're smashing, smashing MICs
And stay focused on the after, after life
Cause if it won't last it's not worth the price
It's all live, dead alive, stage dive, resurrect for recreation
Re-create, re-structure, set the record strait for restoration
Constant temptation, I'm set apart and separated
Every step we take, elevates us towards the final destination
Determined and certain the words in the sermon are serving a purpose
Lifting the burdens, if your searching I'm sure it's worth it
To seek the surgeon, defeat the serpents and circumstances
That lurk below the surface waiting for a chance to murk us
Infectious infections, the tongue is a lethal weapon
That can either destroy you or bring protection
Who's the enemy? Who's injecting our seeds with greedy eyes
And feeding minds sugar coated poison, disguised as vitamins
Vital signs of the times are evident, most are hesitant
To realize, the seven headed dragon spitting fire speaking lies
But I will rise, receive the spiritual prize
And not waste my life chasing temporary highs
We, struggle and fight, through the dark of night
And the sharks that bite will give you scars for life
See the stars and stripes, we salute
A never ending pursuit of truth it's true
The permanent we're after, persevere when disaster strikes
Shining light when we're smashing, smashing MICs
And stay focused on the after, after life
Cause if it won't last it's not worth the price
Count the cost, I'm gonna make this life count, before I'm down for the count
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul, let me hear you say
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
The Soul Rock soldier, rock solid sonic Solomon
Rock in Sodom and Gomorah, souls tortured, sin abolishes
Society, the beats and rhymes bring the balance back
I swing a battle axe, attack accurate, lyrical tactics
Take flight over the badlands, bad habits reign supreme
Battered and bruised, confused with shattered dreams
It's time to change the scene, full swing, drums harder to hit ya
Get a ticket for the show, your missing the big picture
Dis-figured images, deception dominates the premises
It's war, but who's the enemy? Who's the nemesis?
Pessimistic perceptions spread spiritual pestilence
Candy wants to be a star but Hollywood is just to far,
From nowhere North Dakota USA
She went from pigtails in her hair to cam girl in her underwear
A Tokyo to Memphis matinee
No love from her mother a stranger stepfather now
But Candy she said she’s seen too much she’s falling out of touch
She only wants to run away
She’s waving, we’re watching while she drowns. she’s turning upside down
Now Candy’s got to run away run away now,
Run away now
Hormones and amphetamines in every bite, in every stream
Test tube generation on the slab
Ritalin with milk and Shreddies keeps her nervous fingers steady
Thank your teachers, doctors, mom and dad
Her alter invention gets all the attention now
But Candy she said she’s seen too much, she’s falling out of touch
She only wants to run away
She’s waving we’re watching while she drowns, she’s turning upside down
Now Candy’s got to run away run away now,
Run away now
You’re beautiful, beautiful she can’t hear that enough
You’re beautiful, beautiful...enough
But Candy she said she’s seen too much, she’s falling out of touch
She only wants to run away
She’s waving we’re watching while she drowns, she’s turning upside down
Now Candy’s got to run away, run away now,
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
My wings are soaring
spent too many years held down by the forces of
darkness
Exhausted with no energy
My box of rhymes filled with many thoughts and memories
Unforgiving those that trespass against me
My character in life to sacrifice against me
No regrets, self relentless on a journey
Another year, another opportunity - yeah.
A new sunrise, a new day to embrace
And make changes in my life, to rest in new stages ???
Restoration for my family
We felt the pains of broken-ness, lonliness
I'm hopin this year we can grow from the struggle
I'm holding this pen & expressing my heart
And I gotta show my love with actions
To focus on God and not get distracted
This year, it's all about this year right here (x4)
It's obvious that I'm livin a dream
I try hard to stay awake but it's way too late
So long I've waited, so far away
No man could take away what I'm holding
My salvation, peace, love, and freedom
I've got other things but I know I don't need 'em
I got my family and that's so beautiful
When I write rhymes, each line is crucial
I'm inspired by ??? butterfly
I'm not lookin at those girls when they passin by
Silly sinacle, you could sit at home
That's a essential though I'm not tryin ta catch next
drop kick
I got so much on the line
I'm feelin like the paper that I write on, no doubt
I'm keepin God first at being diligent
So no matter what I face I can deal wit it
Tony Stone on the beat and we're doin it...
[beat change]
This year! It's all about this year right here (x4)
Ill flavor in ya ear wit a message!
This is the Bay ta test for the main event
I speak from the soul, my skintone is irrelevant
Canada to Germany, LA to the East
I did shows in Japan, I'm a travelin man like MosDef
I got ten-thousand of Yen
8 bucks, 5 Euro, keep it live in ya borough or project
I'm on a mission with ambition
Bringin transmission to spiritual transmission
Spread throught the airwaves like a air-raid
Droppin concepts never heard on the airplay
And airborne evolution's takin place
It all starts with you, Mic check 1, 2
Ohmega watts mega mix, butter milk biscuits for your
boombox
old school like tube socks
smooth like a butterfly, sting like a scorpion
how you throwing rocks when your house made of
porcelain?
503 origin, originate original
compositions analog or digital, underground or pinnacle
heights
we reach, writing rhymes on skylines and shine heavenly
heavy rotation with fly melodies,
flipped fresh, dipped in honey but never sugar coated
sound-scape's change shape but our hearts stay devoted
Wax, reformation, Watts, shock electric
Much, time invested into musical progression
to bring you, the final result laced correct
reflecting a new state of soul that lives inside
effectively
translated through music to your mind
an everlasting understanding that we found, it's the
find
I rock and bring revolution as the record rotates
earthquake mental states when I drop like nuclear waste
shaking the industry, breaking the mold
a broken jaw won't stop this, speaking truth hard to
handle like chop sticks
ha, spitting fire till the place evacuates
saturate my shirt with sweat stains and ashes, we smash
spiritually everlasting, with uncanny passion
mastering microphones like focus over distraction
setting the tone, bring medicine in a sick flow
rappers biting their tongue like french kissing with a
Pit-bull
I'm your host, Braille Brizzy, rocking the beat
it's the find, need I say more, I'll let the music
Right this moment, yo we're running out of time
we'll see if I get to finish this rhyme
Life on earth is cursed, the curtain closes, eyes open
searching for peace in final moments, playing the game
till it's over
perfect strangers, perfection isn't obtained by
momentary gain or, voluntary pain
martyr your heart condition, sacrifice all your
possessions
it's burning up in flames with violent aggression
causing depression
Right this moment a women gets raped, there's no escape
the flesh flashed in his face fed his rage
on every tv station and magazine page
we keep falling (to temptation) cause this is how we're
raised
I don't expect every line to make sense at first
mention
that's why with this album I recommend repeated listens
my flow isn't the illest, my content isn't the sickest
these visions are to specific, I'm bringing you
something different
Right this Moment, what's going on?
step outside, turn on your tv, turn on the radio
blaow, coming through your speaker right now
music is more then just a style
Right this Moment, what's going on?
step outside, turn on your tv, turn on your radio
blaow, coming through your speaker worldwide
to many shades of grey, time to make it black and white
Right this moment, another rapper gets shot
you'd act surprised, but there's something you forgot
we reap what we sew, each lyric is a seed
guns ain't killing rock stars, they only murder mcs
many lives lost, stolen by bullets blasted out chambers
a clear and present danger, playing the game till it's
over
it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt
might just start shooting ourselves like Kurt, (for
what it's worth)
Right this moment, soldiers invade foreign territory
tear it down and bring terror to their family
I can't say if it's wrong or justified, I'm just a man
who stands
between behind the scene secrets, so I admit I have a
weekness
we can sit and argue about, who's right and who's wrong
who's good and who's evil, the discussion goes on and
all I know is, (right this moment) I can make a
difference in this world
sit and watch it get worse or work to make it more
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I XXX on a soul train in downtown Philly
Sat back in my seat and soaked in the city
Fell asleep and then the train stopped running
So I walked the streets until the sun rose again
It was unfamiliar territory abandon and a few cars
driving by
And people on the corner standing
They didn?t acknowledge me so I did the same back
Plus it was so dark I tried to stay on track
Following the street lights so I can see ahead of me
Avoiding the dark alleys and probably pass them plenty
Where situation could have been deadly
But I wasn't a treat to no one just moving alone steady
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I had no clock so time was a guessing game
I want to go where? nobody knows my name
XXX XXX's fighting... I wonder who will win
I'll check the results tomorrow on channel 10
I saw this girl who looked like a supermodel
XXX on a runway she's running away
Standing in one place a car pulled beside her
We made eye contact, but neither of us smiled
It started raining
I've tried to block it out in my mind in the sky with
some dark clouds
And then I recognize how I miss being home
But even there is no different than this
Surrounded by things that I can't change
Or maybe I could? if I wasn't searching for the next
train
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I was just walking talking to myself
Somebody asked for change? I didn't hesitate to help
Reached in my pocket... but there was nothing there
He looked at me as if I didn't really care
I just kept moving? the city seemed so alive, but I
felt so dead inside
So I figured I was hungry? now I'm asking for change
Sometimes we?re so different then we become the same
The city moved faster as the sun started to rise
I wasn't tired or hungry... just wanted to catch a ride
But at this point I was lost and confused and I didn't
wanted
To leave cuz that?s what I always do
Never around to do something significant
Just watching from the distance and soaking it in
And that?s why I'm always getting on a train
But this time I won't ever be the same...
I wish I could make your problems go away, but I can't
even do that with my own
So that?s why I'm getting on a train... searching for a
place called home
I wish I could make your problems go away, but I can't
even do that with my own
I think this time I'm going to stay and pour out what
I've soaked in.
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out

Daily double trouble all around, he got a bubble goose
when they shoot, he ducks down
avoiding the forces destroying the fruits of his seed
employed by the streets he was working for free
motivated by greed, green sacks he would smoke up
and sell to common folk who like toking (smoking) it,
on the reg (regular)
ay yo, shots fly he pray one, reach his head
blood pours he caught on in the leg, now
where he run to, crippled, simple minded
lived in the city and, dreamed of dying
promoted death, with every single breath
but now his breath is getting short and he’s scared
shaking in his boots as he pulls out his hair
got what he wanted but he wasn’t prepared
crying, realizing he don’t wanna die

nobodies true to others, nobodies true to self
nobody shares their wealth, mentally and physically

respond if you feel it
9-1-1 wasn’t a joke
pistols blaze, young guns get lost in the smoke
there’s a war going on between the rich and the broke
it’s in the streets, worldwide, overseas and under oath
from day one man was flawed, we fall daily
no man is perfect, word, but we can keep working
fulfill our purpose, before we’re gone with the wind
storing treasures for the final days and focus on the
end (result)
the vinyl plays and I write, my minds stays in the
light
and sprays a rhyme to ignite freedom
I’m feeling like it’s all over
standing in the cold to be reminded that I’m still
breathing
and I’m leaving this state of mind that got me
depressed
all the desires of the flesh, get put to rest
and understand, we can live free in harsh reality
and shine light, when it’s to dark to see
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
I’m taking shots at the system like a paparazzi
you can’t stop me, from operating properly
I’m set to prosper with no illegal scandal,
just honest, diligent hard work, I can’t stand still
I call my cash cream, it’s not about the benjamin’s
my cream is medicine, I’m not afraid to spread it thin
bless a struggling family with some food to eat
I know if in reverse, they would do it for me
I’m looking out for my people in these trife (trifle)
times
children play outside and put their life on the line
it’s not all bad, but it’s been seeming so lately
seeing all these teenage girls raising babies
with no fathers, subliminal manslaughter
young bucks on the block sipping dirty bath water
in glass bottles, feeling betrayed and cursed
stay encouraged, the last shall be first, I’m saying
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
Goliath strikes and stands larger then my shadow is
I’m not equipt to battle this man handler alone
built on the rock, evil infiltrates my home
and I’m to honest to God to cast the first stone
fear factor got me thinking to turn, run the opposite
options fade, opposition tossing grenades
I’m not trained in the art of war
I’m not running wild chasing beef, like a carnivore
sometimes I feel like giving up
sometimes I feel like it’s not worth the fight
sometimes I feel like nobody cares
cried at night and realized, God was right there
so regardless of what’s see with physical eyes
(deep inside) I know there’s meaning to life
and even when I’m feeling down, defiled, defeated and
I don't bust caps or press em on Krylon cans
I just stand on stage with the MIC in my hand
8 years ago, no friend of mine
was around to talk, so I'd sit and write rhymes
I can't say, hiphop is all bad cause it isn't
sometimes it makes me mad and I eject it from my system
this is an art-form, a form of expression
communication, something that youth relate with
gang related or peace statements, it's all up to the
artist
we got, freedom of speech and each aims for a different
target
different markets, different agendas, different
intentions
some are pure, some are offensive
I'm just, one of many different sides represented
or should I mention, each individual is their own
extension
speaking their perspective, so in this game I hold my
ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my home
Hiphop started in the Bronx, come on
now it lives all over the world
people of all types embrace the culture, bang the music
get into it, start a movement, keep doing it
when you write your first rhyme don't expect to be
considered the best mc, develop your flavor and recipe
if you wanna see success it takes a lot of sacrifice
and effort
just because you got a flow doesn't get you cheddar
call it cash money, I hate slang and stereo types
for all mediums I give the same advice
no matter what you strive for, no matter what goals you
there's no short cut to the golden pot, the plot
thickens
I spit out lyrics like their lukewarm but keep it hot
plant seeds to feed the flock when the beat knocks
stay focused on God, bless tracks with passion
I'll be loving hiphop till my flesh turns to ashes
I got a love/hate relationship with hiphop, it
frustrates me
it can break these rusty chains or drive me crazy
I'm a rhyme spitting, time bomb ticking
Christ is living, and died, to save me from this worlds
sickness
when people think of rap music they relate it to
players, pimps
paper chasers and gang bangers, but don't forget
just cause you see them scenes in videos
doesn't mean, that for every mc, that's how it really
goes
the truth is, hiphop is diverse as earth is
what a man speaks reflects the world he's immersed in
and the condition of his heart, yo it's hard to judge
most these rappers would be nothing, without their
budget
and record labels, paying for promotions
putting their face on posters, while they posing
but see, hiphop music gave a voice to the streets
plus it made profit, so now everybody wants a piece
I wasn't down from the beginning but since I started
I've been true to God, myself and true to the art
all I got left to say for everybody east to west
Christine's Depression never seems to end,
cuz she'll never be as skinny as the girls on friends.
She's got fat hips, and thin lips, she's jealous of a q-tip
she'd take stupid over fat.
She stuck her fingers down her throat for the very last time today,
And she walked away
(ooooh they walk away)
Malcoms got his image,
his rock and his glock,
And if he lives to see 20 he will beat the clock.
He's got his ride, his pride and girls by his side
He makes a stance with a gun in his hand.
He saw his best friend lying on a stainless steel tray,
and he walked away.
(oooh, they walk away, hey hey walk away)
and the destination is clear,
anywhere but here.
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter,
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered.
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars,
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter,
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered.
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars,
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars
(oooh, they walk away, hey hey walk away) x2
So walk away from the boyfriend losers and
the the shame of the game that your brain knows your loosing,
the job that you do,
it just robs you of who you can be when you're free from this mentality.
So you're home by the phone, getting stoned all alone
With your chatroom friends, calling at ramones,
but the phone don't ring,
Joey just sings,
sedated.
You've gotta learn to hate it.
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter,
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered.
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars,
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars.
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter,
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered.
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars,
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars.
(oooh they walk away, hey hey walk away) x2
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter,
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered.
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars,
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars.
Doesn't matter that you're lying in the gutter (gutter, gutter)
doesn't matter that you're brains all cluttered (brains all cluttered, all cluttered).
Doesn't matter that you're covered in scars (scars, scars),
your never in the gutter with you're eyes on the stars. (stars, stars)
Trained for this moment since the day I was born
since before I made tapes that ignored
since before I had a rap name or started to record
I’ve been chilling in the back getting prepared for war
I got a strategy, this isn’t random rapid fire
this is one shot, headed for Goliath (I can’t miss)
target practice on topics, flipping rhymes off the top
waiting for this one chance to throw my rock (rock on)
the least expected to defeat the beast
judgements passed to blast my confidence, I won’t
surrender or retreat
return my gifts to the sender, this is worship in the
chaos
this is heavy concentration (got my game face on)
an eruption of noise flooding from a mouth of silence
I’m nobody, a spec of dust battling a giant
he stands and mocks me, everyone things I’m crazy
laughing as if I’m not aware of who I’m facing
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold me down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold us down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
And his shadow covers the country side, we’re dwelling
in the darkness
running away, while he’s running things
calling shots, got us locked in bondage
his threats hold us hostage, afraid to be free from his
grip
I can’t hold my tongue, I’m holding this stone
hands sweaty and callus, mentally un-balanced, I’m
ready for the challenge
seen many before me back down and crack under pressure
it’s time to take drastic measure, let it loose
intimidation factor tries to set in, I’m grab my weapon
not arrogant, but it’s apparent that he’s feeling
threatened
I’m stepping in his direction, the point of no return
with every action backed by the power of words
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold me down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold us down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
My armor is weak, I don’t expect to be hit at all
I’m entering, knowing I’m protected (he can’t touch me)
mental simulations, got me picturing victory
he’s snickering and slithering, I’m setting him strait
full speed ahead, he’s surprised by my approach
probably thinking I’ma try and swing a sword to his
throat
but I go for what I know, throw a stone with precision
accurate and cracking his skull, when it hits it
he’s tripping, he’s shaking, I’m taking him out
and before he could react he fell flat on the ground
the whole earth shook, I returned to finish him
chopped of his head and carried it through the villages
the city people cheered, I delivered a speech
they all danced in the streets celebrating his defeat
I said, he was dead, before the battle started
Well I smoked up all my roaches
And all that's left is ash
Taking bottles back for quarters,
Sold my TV for the cash
Had to move back to my mom's house
No more parties, no more fun
She makes me go to church on Sundays,
At least I get my laundry done
How low low low can you get,
How low low low can you get
When you haven't hit rock bottom
How low low low can you get
Well my high school guidance councilor
Said computers and the net
But the NASDAQ's bust and my dot com's dust
And I'm drinking to forget
So I took my girl for dinner,
Another night at Taco Bell
It's a 49 cent burrito
And a fifth of Muscatel
How low low low can you get,
How low low low can you get
When you haven't hit rock bottom
How low low low can you get
So you're hanging out with the homeless
And you're bumming cigarettes
When you haven't hit rock bottom
How low low low can you get
Cuz I played by the rules,
Did my time in school
I'm an A-plus educated
Food stamp fool
Now I got no dough,
no HMO,
No future,
No where to go
How low low low can you get,
How low low low can you get
When you haven't hit rock bottom
How low low low can you get
So you bump into an old friend of yours
He say's man we've never met
When you haven't hit rock bottom
How low low low can you get
So lets talk about the good times,
Cuz I'm starting to forget
When you haven't hit rock bottom
Well I backstroked through my high school years
Changing lanes and changing gears
Thought I was invincible
Thinking I could change the world
Cutting classes breaking rules
The learning started after school
You were there we’d slip away
Drive right through the yawning day and...
Cruise
Never check the review mirror
Cruise
Watch the future getting clearer
Shut your mouth and close your eyes
Put the seat back let me drive and cruise
With a name tag and a bright blue vest
They put the handcuffs on your wrist
Your careless summer’s been replaced
A smile's a stranger to your face
And my fingers punch the cold white keys
I’m commas and apostrophes
Someday we’ll get out of this
Leave a postcard on the desk and...
Cruise
Never stop to think about it
Cruise
Not a single doubt about it
Feet don’t ever touch the ground
So high we’re not coming down we cruise
And my body aches
For the warm embrace
Of a better day
Oh it’s not too late to slip away
She was a Baptist
He was a model
She said she never had a drink but she’s gonna drink the worm out the bottle
Chugging on the jug of life
He found Jesus
She found her G-spot
Is took her 21 years and a couple of beers to make the world stop
Waiting for the end to come
And they don’t mind dying
I’m just living on a perfect day
Riding on a perfect wave
Waiting for the end to come
Enjoy your visit no one gets to stay
Never let it slip away
Waiting for the end to come
She was straight edge, he was pre-med
Found em ankles and ears in the backroom dancing with the dead heads
Sucking on the breast of life
With a shot glass, chin strap, carburetor, mud flap
Can’t afford a chicken so you got to get a hooker in a hatch back
Waiting for the end to come
And it smells like Monday
Ahh and I don’t even care I want no death bed regrets
So stop ringing that bell 'cause I’m not finished yet
I’m just living on a perfect day
Riding on a perfect wave
Waiting for the end to come
Enjoy your visit no one gets to stay
Never let it slip away
There's a real cool couple living on my street
They smile and wave every time we meet
They've been together for the past five years
They're perfectly happy and perfectly queer
Its not a Brady Bunch episode
They're not the Cunninghams its not the Cosby Show
That black and white world didn't ever exist
Who says a family needs a mister and miss
They've got a dream
Picture the scene
They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They'll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
Ain't it strange
"Give it a one one twenty in a Cadillac boom boom boom and me never look back"
Now it's a long, long way out of Buffalo
Thay've got the Dom on ice and a slice to go
In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze
Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise
They've got the radio, they've got one CD
Top 40 and some old Lou Reed
They got caffeine and gasoline
It's the Great Escape starring Jean McQueen
I think tonight
They'll both wear white
They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They'll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
The girls last words were a perfect kiss
She knows a place that I can't resist
I finally made it to the sunset strip
Palm trees beaches and junky needles
Pin up gangsters and pre fat beatles
The little pills, that make you feel okay
and those west coast girls
let 'em drown in pearls
LA, LA, LA'AAA, LA
(bah da buh buh ba ba ba)
Botox, Face lifts and suicides
Skin so stretched the women look surprised
Filthy clean white colar crimeless break?
The promise land of milk and decup honey
All the flowers kind of smell like money
Above this smog I think it might be sunnier
and all those westcoast girls
live in disney world
LA (all this water not a drop to drink)
LA (what you say is never what you think)
LA'AAAAAAA
LA (bah da buh buh ba ba ba)
California Screaming
California Screaming
LA(california), LA (california), LA'AAAAA, LA
(bah da buh buh ba ba ba)
LA (all this water not a drop to drink)
LA (what you say is never what you think)
LA'AAAAAAA
LA (bah da buh buh ba ba ba)
[Verse 1:]
Hey baby here we are tonight
I can't hear you voice, the sound is too loud
It doesn't matter cuz we just came right here, to
Party like no one ever seen
Baby right now, join me on the floor
Raise your shot up, move a little more
This sensation, our hearts our racing
I bet you know how it ends tonight
[Hook:]
Pretty girls around the world
And you just shine even more and more
Turn off the lights, I still can see you
You're like a star I can reach
[Chorus:]
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
So baby come closer let's make this the best time of our lives
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you, you
[Verse 2:]
Hey baby how you doing tonight
The way you move makes me stop to watch
So keep moving until the sun rises
We gonna hit the floor, we gonna bring the roof down
Baby right now, join me on the floor
Raise your shot up, move a little more
This sensation, our hearts our racing
I bet you know, how it ends tonight
[Hook:]
Pretty girls around the world
And you just shine even more and more
Turn off the lights, I still can see you
You're like a star I can reach
[Chorus:]
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
So baby come closer let's make this the best time of our lives
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you, you
[Bridge:]
Take my hand and come with me now
Let's make this our night, come here, right now
Can't be moving (4X)
[Chorus:]
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
Can't be moving like this cuz I'll fall for you
So baby come closer let's make this the best time of our lives
You're the kind I leave behind
All you desire is what you take from me
You don't know it
I wish I could be myself
I wish you would try to understand what you mean to me
You used to be so close now you're so far away
What we used to be I guess you didn't care to stay
I don't care you're the kind I leave behind
All you desire is what you want from me
You don't notice I wish you would be yourself
I wish I could try to understand why you do this
You used to be so close now you're so far away
What we used to be I guess you didn't care to stay
I don't care you can't stop me
Why are you so far away
You used to be so close now your so far away
What we used to be I guess you didn't care to stay
I don't care you can't stop me
Give me a hug
Closer, closer
Closer, closer...
Love you more
Love you more...
Love you here
Love you here
Know love
Know love
It's you
God, can you please hurry and find me?
I wasn't sure if we could be friends
God, can you please hurry and find me?
I wasn't sure if we could be friends
God, can you please hurry and find me?
[Prince Power]
Yo Ax, what's up man, that beat sounds kinda fly
[DJ Ax]
Yeah word Prince, this beat is not too fast
Not too wild, you know? Just right, strictly smooth
"Smooth" "Cause I don't get upset" [x4]
[Prince Power]
I get a grip on myself and I don't break a sweat
Dreams come to life and some that I stand by
Looking at myself and I'm asking "Who am I?"
Face in the crowd like any other
I dig and I scratch and I fight like many brothers
To reach the top and do what has to be done
So I can be number 1
But then I'm stuck and stopped, eventually dropped
Like a kid on the block selling rock, I get popped
Looking forward, see some reach the plateau
Pump the junk, packing a wacks show
I flip, lose my head, wanna bust an ill move
I'd better chill man, and better play it smooth
"Smooth" "Cause I don't get upset" [x4]
[Prince Power]
Drug seller, fly fella
When he speaks he's heard, it sounds accapella
Wheels and deals and does what he feels
Drives around with girls with skirts and high heels
Clocking cash, a knot to flash
He throws a party, an all out bash
Cars and jewelery, a lust for passion
Wants to be seen in a styling fashion
He sits back, gets paid off of crime
While I rack my brain and G off of rhyme
Now must I sell to do well? (No)
Must I deal to appeal? (No)
Do I have to live life in danger, strap on a side arm
Walk down the block like I was a time bomb
First blast, cause I'm in an ill mood
(Yo Prince man, just keep it smooth)
"Smooth" "Cause I don't get upset" [x4]
Keep it smooth, yo Ax, keep it smooth
Yo E. Vill, keep it smooth
[Prince Power]
(Yo you sound kinda angry) I am my man
I see society snatch all good things from my hand
Take what I make and burn what I earn
Wait til the day when I get my turn
And stand on stage, and hear the crowd roar
(Prince Powerule, give him an encore)
Solve enough cause I love to perform
Take the mic from the stand to my hands switch it on
Rip a rhyme rough enough for the people
Talent is shown and you know it's not equal
Ax backs me up with cuts and scratching
E. Vill's producing a sound worth matching
Fans are frozen, fixed on the stage
Absorbing a sound that's coming of age
Powerule, the group of the future
Giving they heart and soul like they used to
Taking a stand, making a move
Keeping it rough but playing it smooth
[30 seconds of talking]
[Large Professor]
I hit the first level where I found several
Skins that were ripple, but one made me think
About becoming one link
Hmmm, she acted like her shit didn't stink
But Large Professor is my name
I had the game and I could tell she was a stuck-up dame
But I had to captivate, she gave a grin that was bait
So I didn't hesitate to mate
I did a ??? to her and then
My man Vandimater said "Yo Professor you in"
I said, "What's up, can I become your friend?"
She said, "Oh no question" I'm in
A thought in my head so I captain to said
"Am I good for your number, on the down under?"
She not only gave me the digits
But a note that said quote "Whatever I'm with it"
Cool Breeze pulled her with ease
But I was thinking about pulling more G's
I slid with the note and saw another girl that was
Checking in the pit so I decided to flew
To her, she was vicious, if I describe her she seemed ficticious
She was headed upstairs, and after my analysis
I said to Van "Yo I got to get this"
[Prince Power]
Puff light up, and I'm ready to swing
But I'm stepping to the salsa style type of thing
Girls dancing, high heels and short skirts
Man, you should have seen the bodies work
But I was hooked on the look of the last one
She had the sass and flash, she had fast ones
Gave her a glimpse, a grin, and a smile
You know the style
She came easy and sexing up my whole brain
But still in all, y'all, my calm was maintained
Kicking it in Spanish, saying "Te amo" and "I need ya"
Mami, yo, I'll never mislead ya
A little kiss on the neck and she was melting
Now I'm down for the round and I'm delting
Got the number and a kiss for my hard work
Red lipstick on the collar of my new shirt
And all the strife for the man that does it right
So my trip from the neighborhood was a good night
Yeah, another hooker for the list
And I gots to get this
[El' Fishbone]
Slid to the third where the reggae jam slam and jam
I see this girl that I wanna ram
So I move over swiftly to kick her the gift, see
Cause in my eyes yo she wants me
I introduce myself, the next move is to dance
Jump, spread out, I got my hands on her biker pants
Now it's time for conversation, the girl is Hatian
Giving me some shit like she's basing
Cause I'm the man that hits with the tight grip
Skins on my list ??? all backs and they call the crib
Don't front on El' Fishbone, Don Juan
Cause I move bitches through my fingers like a metal baton
Bagged her up and said "Call me tonight"
It's cool, cause I know how to use my tool
Slipped me a code, that's the end of the episode
Off I rode, I don't want to overload
And yo, I couldn't resist, like gorillas in the mist
Yaaahoooooooooooooooo
Ooo yeah
I've been waiting (Oh yeah)
Spend my time chasing
For your love (Uh huh)
And it's going down tonight (It's going down tonight)
I've been waiting
Spend my time chasing (Yes I did)
For your love
And it's going down tonight (It's going down tonight)
What did you think you would do?
What did you think you'd say?
After I told you how I was feeling
Never thought I'd see this day
I always kept dreaming
Never let failure hurt my heart
I knew that you would soon see better
All I could do is hope and say
Is there a chance or possibility,
That I could get close to you?
I want to get romantic with you
Do all the things that lovers do
Finally all the things that I've done
To get the chance to be with you
It was sure 'nuff worth the wait
Tonight I'll be wrapped up in your arms
I always kept wishing
I always kept praying
Good things come to those who wait
That's what momma always said
Baby that phrase stuck in my head
There's nothing I won't do
To please you
Given the chance, I'll do you right
Even inside I have to know
Is there a chance or a possibility,
That I could get close to you?
I want to get romantic with you
Do all the things that lovers do
Finally all the things that I've done
To get the chance to be with you
I guess it was sure 'nuff worth the wait
Tonight I'll be wrapped up in your arms
Oooh
Oh yeah
Ooooh yeah
Baby
Oooooooooooooo
Oooh yeah
Ride or Die
Walk on by
Oh yeah
Heeeey

And it's over got you strung out, uh
Baby, I'm a Ruff Ryder
Hey yeah, I'm a Ruff Ryder
Oh no no, yeah yeah
Woke up one Sunday morning
At the crack of dawn and, oh no
My baby left a letter
Tellin' me don't forget her, oh no
She said I wasn't able
To keep our love stable
She knew that I was foolin' around
She saw me with the girl downtown, downtown
So you sayin' that you love me, baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Now as the letter goes on
I'm reminded of the time when she's all alone
All the days that she's cried
But never once did I ever see the pain in her eyes
She said that I was wrong
That a man who doesn't care isn't all alone
If I could do it all again
Girl, I know one thing is I would not let you go
So you sayin' that you love me, baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
You walked away with nothin' to say
Said you are tired of the games I play
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
To find a way to get back to you
Now you're gone and I'm all alone
Wish that you would come back home
You know I need you here in my life
All I wanna do is try to make it right
So you sayin' that you love me, baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Baby, baby, baby
Let me talk to you right now, oh no
I should've spent more time with you
Can I make it up to you?
I should of been more careful
So you sayin' that you love me, baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
So you sayin' that you love me, baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Yeah, I should've spent more time with you
'Coz you was my baby boo
Rememba all the rocks in da park
Rememba when we made love in da dark
Rememba all da shit, baby
And I'm gonna be sorry, baby
'Coz I want you more than before
[Verse One]
Each and every time, when I see that eye
Not going to, give into her
Really round eyes, they reel me in
Hook line and sink, for I can't blink
I'm all in her mouth, and she's in my arms
Caressing me, by then it's on
And we are both wrong, cause her boyfriend's cool
We all went to school, with each other but I
[Chorus]
Can't let goooo.
If I could, then I would
But it's outta my controllll.
It seems as though, there's a spell on me
[Verse Two]
I tried to move away, leave her alone
Park down the road, act like I'm not home
But some kind of way, she reaches me
One look at her, my judgment is hurt
Or could it just be, that for her I'm weak
Is it because, she's freakin me
like little can, istead of him
One part of me, wish it all would end, but I
[Chorus] - 2X
[Verse Three]
Ev-erything, that's good, to me
Does not, mean, it's good, for me
Me and you know
this is love
and I see
Me and you know
this is love
when I'm around you
when I'm around
nobody loves me
no, no
nobody loves me
nobody loves me
Me and you know
this is love
Me and you know
this is love
when I'm around you
when I'm around
Nobody loves me
no, no
Victims themselves of a close encounter
Desperate abducters, constructers become infected,
vexed
By an alien virus, so alien, so viral
Living spaceapes, creatures, covered, smothered in ripe
tentacles
Stimulating the audio nerve directly
You wanna come flex with me
Hallucinating senses individually, insiduosly
are in any combination, rhymically
Shifting gears, focus upon intensity
wait, big people a talk nobody try fuck with i-man
clarity
Mind starts slippin to familiar tracks
Bending warping, interfering with the facts
Sensory language leaves us with no habit for lying
We are hostile aliens, immune from dying
Don't Harass me for not behaving correct
I only want to slide my arm round your neck
Interpretation, electro-chemical stimulation
The sensation you feel is entirely real
All that we share is our struggle for silence
We don't wanna bother with no arms house business,
no shooting no violence
sensory language twist snake like a limb
Flexible, versitile, curious like twins
Transparent in the way that it moves
With sufficient memory
To cut clean through you..
Victims themselves, from a close encounter
Desperate abductors, constructors, becoming infected,
vexed
By an alien virus, so alien, so viral
Living spaceapes, creatures, covered, smothered in
writhing tentacles
Stimulating the audio nerve directly
You wanna come flex with me
Hallucinating senses individually, insiduosly
are in any combination, rhymically
Mind starts slippin familar tracks
Bending warping, interfering with the facts
Sensory language leaves us with no habit for lying
Hey you, what time do you call this?
Your tea's been ready don't you give it a miss
I'm off out mum, I won't be home
You are on the streets to roam
Listen to me 'cause I'm still your mother
You aren't as old as your brother
You come home and cheek me once more my lad
So away from this house, away from the door
Let me say, I ain't a kid
And if you want you can easy get rid
I'm moving out, I'm getting a flat
As soon as I can and I won't be back
Listen to me 'cause I'm still your mother
You aren't as old as your brother
You come home and cheek me once more my lad
So away from this house, away from the door
Of night, takes me home
I stumble about, on my own
Oh, as my half naked body hits the bed
There's a hundred thoughts in my head
Oh, I wish I'd listened to my mother
Because I aren't as old as my brother
And if I ever drink once more I swear
You I want to know, now If we didn't need Would I know?
Couldn't love Shine I want to know, now
Couldn't know Just... Couldn't know But...
You I want to know, now If we didn't need Would I know?
Couldn't love Shine I want to know, now Now Now
