Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
And (So) come what may I want you to know
I'm (That I am) yours alone, and I'm in love (in love) to stay
As we go through the years day by day
(I said, "Day by day")
One by one they followed the sun
One by one until there where none
Two by two to their lovers they flew
Two by two into the foggy dew.
Three by three they danced on the sea
Four by four they danced on the shore
Five by five they tried to survive
Six by six they were playing with tricks.
How many paths did he try and fail
How many of their brothers and sisters linger in jail
How much poison did their inhale
How many black cats crossed their trail.
Seven by seven they head for heaven
Eight by eight their got to the gate
Nine by nine they drank the wine
Ten by ten they drank it again.
How many tomorrows have they given away
How many compared to yesterday
How many more without any reward
How many more can they afford.
Two by two they step into the ark
Two by two they step in the dark
Three by three they're turning the key
Four by four they turn it some more.
One by one they followed the sun
Two by two to another rendezvous
Three by three don't tread on me
Four by four they're loosing the war.
(ron wood/rod stewart)
Too bad we was thrown downstairs
You never got a chance to sing
We were quite polite
With one invite
To keep us off the streeet
We mingled for a minute or two
With the high class clientele
And then somebody said who invited them
Them that crowd of refugees
What an insult to be shown the door
Before we could shake a leg
I was most intrigued by the colored queen
Bleeding on the kitchen door
Then I was ushered with my friends
By the butler who was twelve feet tall
Well let me please explain
That were not to blame
We just don’t have the right accent
No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
I was always getting the pain
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
How we always get the blame
Twenty girls, damp hotels
Is where I’m gonna stay
Cause now I see what it’s all about
I didn’t at the old school side
Don’t worry we had more fun
Waiting for the all night bus
Too bad my regional tongue
Gave us away again
Debout dans la cour d'école
Quand on grandit avec les loups
Je n'ai jamais courbé le cou
Ni même touché du front le sol
Si de ma vie j'ai écarté
Tous ces perdants au garde à vous
Oh, je me suis battu pour mes idées
Mais personne ne m'a vu à genoux
Oh ! Debout
J'aurais toujours vécu
Debout
Malgré les insultes
Et les coups
Sans tout comprendre je l'avoue
Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout
Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout
Debout
Bien sûr j'ai aimé l'amour
Je l'ai libéré de sa cage
Et j'ai gagné en douleur et en courage
Oui j'ai aimé comme un sourd
Et chaque fois un peu plus grand
Mon cœur se lève et j'oublie tout
Je n'ai que le droit d'être vivant
Et d'être un homme avant tout
Oh ! Debout
J'aurais toujours vécu
Debout
Malgré les insultes
Et les coups
Sans tout comprendre
Je l'avoue
Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout
Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout
Debout
Debout dans la cour d'école
J'ai grandit avec les loups
J'en ai gardé les marques au cou
Même si aujourd'hui j'en rigole
Quand on a plus rien à prouver
Peu importe qui est derrière vous
Une seule personne m'a aimé
Et c'est pour elle que je suis resté
Debout, debout
J'aurais toujours vécu
Debout
Malgré les insultes
Et les coups
Sans tout comprendre
Je l'avoue
Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout
Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout
Debout
Debout
Sans tout comprendre
Je l'avoue
Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout
Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout
Debout
Jusqu'au bout
Oui debout
Debout
Debout
by Eric Clapton
It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
Till my heart begins to stammer and my hair is turning gray.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
You must be thinking, 'bout this time, that my poor heart is made of wood.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
I want to stay around your circle and learn to love you all the time.
tiptoeing through the used condoms
strewn on the piers
off the west side highway
sunset behind the skyline of jersey
walking towards the water
with a fetus holding court in my gut
my body highjacked
my tits swollen
I'm sore
the river has more colors at sunset than my sock drawer ever dreamed of
I could wake up screaming sometimes
but I don't
I could step off the end of this pier
but I've got shit to do
and I've an appointment on tuesday
to shed uninvited blood and tissue
I'll miss you I say to the river
to the water
to the son or
daughter I thought better of
I could fall in love with jersey at sunset
but I leave
the view
to the rats
I?m waiting for a boat to help me out of here
Waiting for a boat to help me out
The boat that reached my shore was a toy boat
Waiting for a boat to help me out
I?m dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen before
Dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen
The lake I?ve seen last was a picture lake
Dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
I?m thinking of a castle on atop a hill
Thinking of a castle on atop a hill
The castle I?ve been to was full of flies
Thinking of a castle on atop a hill
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
I?m waiting for a boat to help me out of here
Waiting for a boat to help me out
The boat that reached my shore was a toy boat
Waiting for a boat to help me out
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Stop my flight to fight
And die
And take a stand to change my life
So savage with red desperation
I clench my hands
You draw your claws
A hidden rage consumes my heart
As fuelled by years of wasted time
I close my eyes
And tense myself
And screaming
Throw myself in fury over the edge
And into your blood
Tear at flesh
And rip at skin
And smash at doubt
I have to break you
Fury drives my vicious blows
I see you fall but still I strike you
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Drained of everything but pain
Screaming throw myself in fury
Over the edge and into your blood
Kiss you once and see you writhe
Hold you close and hear you cry
Kiss your eyes and finish your life
Finish your life
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Knowing I'll murder you again tonight
Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Makin' things glow in the night
Well, she would if she could
And she'd be good if she would
Only tell her lover she be out tonight
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass and playin' poker to win
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
It's too bad
It's too bad
Can't get me none of that
New sold lady
My mama Cady
Chivalry was born at her feet
Well she should have thought twice
When pa shot his dice
Imagine put my daddy to sleep
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad...
I said It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad...
It's too bad
It's too bad
i peek into the hole, i struggle for control
the children love the show, but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
fail to see the anguish in my eyes
i scratch around the brim, i let my mind give in
the crowd begins to grin, but they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes, it's no surprise
fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
my big top tricks will always make you happy, but we all know the hat is wearing me
my bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that
my vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
they will bite the hand if it is slower than the quickness of thier scrutinizing eyes
fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
my big top tricks will always make you happy, but we all know the hat is wearing me
Stop my flight to fight
And die
And take a stand to change my life
So savage with red desperation
I clench my hands
You draw your claws
A hidden rage consumes my heart
Fuelled by years of wasted time
I close my eyes
And tense myself
And screaming
Throw myself in fury over the edge
And into your blood
Tear at flesh
And rip at skin
And smash at doubt
I have to break you
Fury drives my vicious blows
I see you fall but still I strike you
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Drained of everything but pain
Screaming throw myself in fury
Over the edge and into your blood
Kiss you once and see you writhe
Hold you close and hear you cry
Kiss your eyes and finish your life
Kiss your eyes
Finish your life
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Knowing I'll murder you again tonight
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
(Carly Simon)
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Well I hope de bat don't come out and fly in me face tonight
Well I come home from a party
And I'm feelin' a little spaced
And I walk on in the kitchen and
A bat fly in me face
Well de bat come down the chimney
You see he wait in the fireplace
When he hear that I'm getting a little snack
De bat fly in me face
(Chorus)
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Well I hope de bat he don't come out
And fly in me face tonight
De bat he rat got wings
All the children know that
What I need to know from the lord
Is how you get de wings on the cat
They say a bat's got radar
And he can fly through fan
But what I am afraid of is
That he got another plan
To fly in me face
Fly in me face
(Chorus)
Well I hope de bat he don't come out
And fly in me face tonight
Fly in me face
One thing I forgot to tell you about the human race
Everybody get a little upset when a bat fly in they face
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Well I hope de bat he don't come out
Now whether you come from yard or whether you come from London
Wanna hear this one on your radio station

Love and nuff unity with lots of education
We'll take it by the hundred take it one by one
This is ragga with the inspiration
I can only sing of destruction today
'Cause my people are shedding blood everywhere
There is no happy song to sing
When every time I'm frowning
I watch my back as I pass through
'Cause they're aiming their bullets at me
Jah say he see us through
So I knew that the wicked would perish
Never forget your dreams
Life is full of ups and downs, yeah

Day by day by day by day by day by day by
Day by day by day by day by day by day by
We laugh at them for they know their day is coming
The wicked draw their swords to slay the upright
Well the wicked bend their bows to cast down the poor
Yet their swords shall pierce them in their own hearts
Never you lose your faith
Things and times will have to change, yeah
Say you might be down today
But never you lose your faith
Just take it day by day by day by day by day
Day by day by day by day by day by day by
Day by day by day by day by day by day by

Here come the butter baby
(I bring it smooth and hot)
What What What What
[Will Smith]
Here come the butter baby
Bringing it smooth and hot
Got this dat from Kay-Gee
Singing this groove a lot
So I got my spiral notebook
Drink and pen
And then abracadabra y'all, done it again
Married but I flirt a little
Psyching the ladies
In the videos I be bringing it like Mike in the 80s
Level of success based on my level of risk
You've been yelling for the lyricist
Then revel in this
Old school hip-hop a beat and a rhyme
Some chapter, some verse said you seek and you find
Look no further here I go, Big Will, Johnny Inferno
Flame for hip-hop burns eternal
All aboard on my train to fame
Rappers hoping that it rain
Trying to stop the game
But rain can't stop me
I got a coat and a crib
Hey look you yellow bricks quit beefin' at the whiz, what
Here come the butter baby
(I bring it smooth and hot)
Here come the butter baby
(Uh, bringing it smooth and hot)
Here come the butter baby
(I bring it smooth and hot)
What What What What
(Lil' Kim y'all what)
[Lil' Kim]
Lil' Kim, Big Will give a damn how y'all feel
Hate, but on the real, Big Will seven mill
If I wasn't on top I'd have a lot less ends
I'd most likely have a lot less friends
You know what I learned (What)
let them keep talking
Uh-huh, pull up in an Azure and watch them keep walking
[Will Smith]
Kim haters be making me wanna flip and react
[Kim]
No-no-no, chill Will and let me do that (alright)
Huh, I gotta eat can't get with broke cats
You know the queen like to be where the money at
I'm the mother, y'all like adopted in this
Call us Mr. and Mrs. Papadapolis
When will y'all learn
Y'all just internes
You gon' get what you earn, just wait your turn
I rock telephones with the TV screens
So I can have real phone sex
Know what I mean
Here come the butter baby
(I bring it smooth and hot)
Here come the butter baby
(Bringing it smooth and hot)
Here come the butter baby
(Yo I bring it smooth and hot)
What What What What
[Will Smith]
It's the fun king, I've been doing one thing
Running things for years, give me one swing
And it's out of here, crack!
Over the fence ladies and gents
Keeping rappers impressed but depressed by my current events
[Kim]
Yes Lord!
[Will]
Big Will swinging the best sword
What you flexing for, don't be testing me boy
Messing with me boy, you're stepping on the root of a daisy
I have you're girl saying
[Kim]
Will why you do that to my baby
Yo Will, what they looking stupid in the face for
What I can't have rocks the size of a baseball
Trust me when I cop I make sure mine cut glass
Never spend my last, like a crack head for the blast
Y'all can kiss my ass acting like you know me
You ain't got a Rolley, take this one here you owe me
All in together now, wrists looking better now
Screw greyhound bound, I'm getting cheddar now
[Will]
Burrrr! When she step up in the scene!
Who! Ice gleam, y'all scream, Hail to the Queen!
Ring on her finger mad phat
Leonardo DiCaprio saw it and caught a flashback
*mouth noise*
All you rappers wanna snap, Jazzy Jeff got my back
*mouth noise*
Lil' Kim bring it back, Lil' Kim press the rap
[Lil' Kim]
Yeah I'm short and sexy, my love's divine
My name is QB and I blow your mind with the
*mouth noise*
When I step up in the spot
Body lookin' hot
All the music just stop
The things your eyes have seen
Are the content of my darkest dreams
But you take it willingly
The war that keeps my family free
To all the brothers that have gone
I want your memory to live on
And as I'm on my knees
I hope that your heart can hear me
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done
Across the foreign shores
Are the souls I won't ignore
That would not run from our enemies
As we rest in our peace
Tonight I'm praying for your child
That it won't be a long while
Till all our brothers come home
To fight no more
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done
And as the rain stops falling
I thank my God, it's camouflaging the tears
That falls from my eyes as you're coming home
Come home
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done
And as the rain stops falling
I thank my God, it's camouflaging the tears
That falls from my eyes as you're coming home
Doubt will kill you
Youth passed away
Amongst the various controls of resignation
Unmistakable
Appeal of the marvelous
Doubt doubt doubt doubt...
Is it enough to show
How the nightmare works
So the people will wake up
Is it enough?
I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze
Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting You will meet me there
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
You cruise around the corner
You watch your back
You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you're on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden
No, You cannot condemn me
I won't buy your bag of goods
You've got nothing for me anyway
That's why I pray
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
These three things
I do pray
Day by day
Day by day, by day, by day
(These three things)
Day by day, by day, by day
(I do pray)
Day by day, by day, by day, by day (2x) (it's one step out of time)
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
As you walk
Day by day
Go to God and pray,
"I'm gonna go Your way"
(I'm gonna pray)
See thee more clearly (every day)
Love thee more dearly (oooh, oh yeah)
Follow thee more nearly (I'm gonna go your way)
Does any body hear me?
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
(I know I'm always safe with you)
My, my, my, my
Well I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama
Finished fooling 'round with you
No more wasting my time baby, no more standing in line
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Yeah, oh it's been a long
You know I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah
Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama?
Too bad I'm gonna cry
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it too bad baby
Too bad I'm gonna cry, wait
Well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Lord I tell you no lie
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're gonna cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I belong
I'm not unhappy but I'd take the train today
If You'd let me, if You'd let me
They may be clapping for me but I wait for You to come get me
Come, come get me
'Cause day by day You're coming closer
Making our way clearer and straighter
Turning our faces into the light
And I can't wait to fall at Your glory
On my face, God of the morning
You're coming closer day by day
Somebody told me I could travel the world
To find beauty, to find beauty
But to behold it I would have to keep it within me
Yeah, well it's in me
'Cause day by day You're coming closer
Making our way clearer and straighter
Turning our faces into the light
And I can't wait to fall at Your glory
On my face, God of the morning
You're coming closer day by day
Give me a mission if I've still got the time
'Cause I'm open, yeah I'm open
Be my vision and I'll be Your delight
'Cause I'm going wherever You're going
Turning faces into the light
And I can't wait to fall at Your glory
On my face, God of the morning
You're coming closer day by day
'Cause day by day You're coming closer
Making our way clearer and straighter
Turning our faces into the light
And I can't wait to fall at Your glory
On my face, God of the morning
You're coming closer day by day
'Cause day by day You're coming closer
Making our way clearer and straighter
Turning our faces into the light
And I can't wait to fall at Your glory
On my face, God of the morning
in the moment I was losing my head
and I was
reachin' forward I was already there
readin' too much and losin' my head
this information caused a cut in the line
now I'm remembering good and thinking so much it's so nice.
the print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
in the morning there are things to be read
words to be said and food to be fed but I
won't be there. I'll be clutchin' on a
megaphone pointed at my head, would you be
there, would you kindly, scream this word for word so loud and clear
I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you, if
the feeling drops out of your voice, would you
kindly pick it up
this is how, I'll go out tonight
dressed in blue, by the book tonight
this is how, I'll go out tonight
but I don't need a book.
we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're
talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need
you should be workin' now, not only askin'
how and the whereabouts of where you'll
be. I don't suspect you will be thinking
when the brain is dead and the mind
has taken over, this is a skill, this
is not a game, where have you been,
are you with us? can you hear us? got
the megaphone pointed at you
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
What a perfect life they think you've got, right?
Problems kept inside, look neat and organized
What you need in life is some wonder
A new friend with visions like you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe (Just imagine)
My body under your body
Here we go everybody 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
When the thrill subsides, will you still be mine?
Worry infiltrates my head till I kill it
I fill it instead with improper visions of you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe
Nobody has to know, body screaming MORE
On your mark set 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a café on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
how it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needed you the most
And now I dream about it
how it's so bad, it's so bad
Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
We made it out, we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
how it's so bad, it's so bad
Well day by day
And night by night
Wanna learn how to love you babe
Till I get it right
Yeah day by day and night by night
Come on and join the dance
I t goes round and round
Until the things you've lost
Become the things you've found
Day by day and night by night
Now piece by piece
And bit by bit
I can see the target
I've got to try to hit
Piece by piece and bit by bit.
I tell you sweet singing sister
Gonna love you till I'm blistered and blue
Cos you're making what I'm shaking
Harder than the big bamboo
But although I'm digging singing babe
I really have to sing it with you
Sing it day by day
Too bad you couldn't take the fun
That life gives you away for free
I know you gotta blame someone
So it might as well be me
I learned a long time ago
That you gotta shake hands with pain
Too bad the only thing you learned was
A million ways to complain
Oh well, we've gone the mile
You forgot how to smile
Too bad I gotta say
Don't go away mad, just go away
Last night I had a crazy dream
That I was playing on a real cool team
The sound was just alright
And I was scratching on a learning tree
Drink alone and pissin' and moaning
That just ain't my style
Too bad you are such a pain in the ass
That you never had a chance at all
Oh well, we've gone the mile
You forgot how to smile
Too bad I gotta say
Don't go away mad, just go away
Oh well, we've gone the mile
You forgot how to smile
Too bad I gotta say
Don't go away mad, just go away
[Q-Tip]
Question
What is it that everybody has
And some pirates and theives try to take
[Chorus]
Da Booty (and if you is a crook than you takin' it)
Da Booty (and if you got money you shakin' it)
Da Booty (come on everybody that's here, that's word
to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed)
[Q-Tip]
I give my promise to all y'all to keep my shit hittin'
Half of y'all claim dog but now a light kitten
Flippin' on brothers just like Mary Lou Retton
Get off that ass and see what I'm settin'
Born with this inside, you just can't get it
This is the lethal pop and you have no weapon
Who is the native brother who keep asses steppin'
make deep impressions and constantly be reppin'
[Phife]
When I was young I'd stretch gouch yo
Now I'm on Letterman, on the couch yo
the black thing with knives is called the back do'
can't we be cool instead of being foul though
Ghetto child dreams of fast cars and fast dollars
Impressions of live sometimes makes ya holler
Scream all that devil shit and talk like a scholar
You dumb as a doorknob, and why do you bother
[Q-Tip]
Phife Dawg puttin' the bite back in yours
Top dog, puttin' it up, flick his balls
MC from now til I get a frown
Shake that ass girl because you world renowned
Wake up, look at the sun, see the sights
Bull duke, you've got to die for your rights
MC's, y'all got to work for the mic
Zombies, do it from dusk to the night
[Chorus]
[Q-Tip]
Rock to the beat, yo it's never the same
Good girls usually got good game
Hot cats tearin' that ass out the frills
Block ass, you had no skills, that's the reals
Make this money without the friction
Take this honey, there goes your diction
Rappers better retreat, fix your joints
My whole crew got bumps on they points
[Phife]
Rumors being spread 'bout me and my click
We can't rock shows and our rhymes ain't shhh
Might not've heard it, or maybe you have
Between me and you, they can kiss my ass
Used to get angry, used to get quite vexed
But say what you may, just cash my check
'Cause all I'm ever guilty of is going on tour
Doing shows galore, and bringin' it raw
Day by day - look what the papers say
Day by day - look what the papers say
Stranded in the jungle
Trapped inside the tube
[You] hate your next door neighbour
Cos he's got more than you
Going round and round / day by day
On the cirlce line
Round and round
Day by day - it's all work no play
Day by day - it's all work no play
Living for inflation
I know I never win
Just to earn a living
They keep me locked in
Day by day - who cares anyway
Day by day - who cares anyway
I feel like a robot
On the production line
Ain't got no tomorrow
On the circle line
Going round and round / day by day
On the circle line
Round and round
Round and round
Day by day
so far no one seems bothered but you've seen what i've seen around here it doesn't take much i'll take the liberty and tell the truth but if you're afraid of the promise and afraid of the truth it contains i know i haven't always been around but i can help you lead and take the blame anyway i know you've seen what i've seen we'll group and build some trust follow and lead lets just get organized and see it through
Day by day
Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day
Day by day (chorus)
Day by day
another endless day, i could't find a way
to spend some time on writing songs with stupid meanings
i can't find a way to make some sense
my mind is such a mess, my girlfriend says i really suck
and that my thoughts i can't express
another sunny day, still i can't find a way
how to describe just what i feel
maybe my brain is holding still
if there's a better way for me to sing and play
it must be silence, i'm so poor
but there's one thing i know for sure
can't be wrong
can't belong to what i thought that i once were
can't be right
cannot fight for something that's not worth it
who's to blame
what a shame i don't really care at all
another rainy day, i can't find a better way
to give a meaning to it all
i guess my luck is very small
when i woke up today, drunk from yesterday
i know tomorrow will be the same
Today's a new day, not like the old days
What else can I say, that's not been said
Each day I rise up, thinking I've wised up
I realise that I don't know shit
Don't know where I'm gonna be - day by day with me
I don't know where I'm gonna land - day by day with me
My five year plan has turned to ten
And it's all gonna happen again
Milleniums coming, better start running
Straight for a place in history
So fast the past went, none of our time spent
Wondering what's gonna happen to me
Again and again through time I see - day by day
I'm going through changes to find what's best for me - day by day
I know where I am and I know where I'm from
Day by day, I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I don't owe you anything
what now?
not again
you're a person I will never comprehend
I've listened
I've tried
I can't change enough
to make you change your mind
looks like I've fucked up again what's new
I am always getting out of hand though in control sometimes just don't give a shit
I get raw have fun I love it so sick of sayin' sorry
those apologies have got to go
but I don't intend to create a pain in your heart I am a pain in the ass
cause that's what I am about day by day
I can see a change in every way some things get worse some things get better
I hate to say those blatant lies are now a part of my past
I hope I don't get confronted abusing others' minds through control
I don't want it to last so here I go
I am on my way
I am leaving for good
I pray that you forgive me for all of the harm that
I caused cause we were friends and we had some great times and that's why
I am just fine cause that's the way it is I hate to say
One day I found a love
Offering peace unto my soul
I been so happy ever since that day
Nothing but joy unspeakable
And I know that it come from above
And I'll let it show
And never let go
Take it everywhere I go
Day by day I'm going to keep you spirit in my heart
Even if the world grow whole
I know your love for me will never part
Sometimes I feel so inspired
And other times I just wanna give up uh
That's when I feel your presence giving me confidence and trust
And I know that it come from above
And I'll let it show
And never let go
Take it everywhere I go
I'm glad I've found your love
It's unconditional, and it's unconditional
And I'll never let it go
Let it go, let it go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I know
I know that it came from above
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I'll let it show and I'll never let go
Take it everywhere I go
It's day by day
I've gotta keep your spirit in my heart yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
Your love unconditional for me, for me to me
There's no place else that I'll rather be
Than here will you and you with me
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet, so sweet, so sweet love for me
Oh, oh
(claude s.)
Sometimes, I get excited about nothing at all...
Sometimes, I get so jaded and stare at the walls...
Does she love me? yes she does!
Does she want me? yes she does!
Does she need me? yes she does sometimes...
Sometimes, I get infected in a super high...
Sometimes, a high on energy
Within her mind...
Sometimes, I can't forget the letters that she sends...
Sometimes, I sleep all day and night:
It's all in vain...
Does she love me? yes she does!
Does she want me? yes she does!
Does she need me? yes she does sometimes...sometimes...
I'm only happy, when I'm dreaming of her eyes...
She's only happy, when she's dreaming in my arms...
I love her so...
Does she love me? yes she does!
Does she want me? yes she does!
Day by Day
World is falling day by day
Living blindly nothing change
I think of my future and see only disillusions
Then I can realize
I'm just waiting my time
I'm just waiting my fucking time to die
Can't you see I just want to stay alone
Today life is just some words on my door
All this noise around me seems like silence
And I feel I'm coming back to dust
One day I tried to trust
I just found a big lie
When you asked me to believe
I tried it hard
I knew many religions
And in the end I hated all them
Don't know where I left my faith
Now I can't hear your call
Can't you see I just want to stay alone
Today life is just some words on my door
All this noise around me seems like silence
My situation brings me down again
Boredom wraps its arms around me
My inhibitions were thrown out the door so long ago
Now I sit here and I can't breathe.
I feel I'm going nowhere fast
I ask myself how long this is going to last.
Chorus
So I go day by day
and it feels the same way
Laugh at all the jokes I've heard before
On and on
I turn the same page
Drunk and lying passed out on the floor
What for
These complications have been here for so long
I don't think they're ever gonna leave
Tired of dealing with motivation
Stagnant as the water that I'm gonna drown my head in
Soon you'll see
I feel I'm going nowhere fast
I ask myself how long this is going to last.
Chorus
The reason the season
locked up inside I'm screaming
I'm trying defying everything that wasn't right
To get out of here.
Day by day
and it feels the same way
Laugh at all the jokes I've heard before
On and on
I turn the same page
Drunk and lying passed out on the floor
What for
I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze
Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting You will meet me there
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it]
Day by day
You cruise around the corner
You watch your back
You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you're on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden
No, You cannot condemn me
I won't buy your bag of goods
You've got nothing for me anyway
That's why I pray
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it]
Day by day
These three things, I do pray
Day by day
Day by day, by day, by day
[These three things]
Day by day, by day, by day
[I do pray]
Day by day, by day, by day, by day (2x) [it's one step out of time]
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it]
Day by day
As you walk
Day by day
Go to God and pray,
"I'm gonna go Your way"
[I'm gonna pray]
See thee more clearly [every day]
Love thee more dearly [oooh, oh yeah]
Follow thee more nearly [I'm gonna go your way]
Does any body hear me?
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
[I know I'm always safe with you]
Look in the basement of your heart
There is a light that just went dark
Look through the wreckage to find reverie
There is a truth that we all must see
You waited for someone to come and save you
But you are afraid to see the truth
The insecurities
That you cling to
Will steal the beauty of your youth
Take comfort to know, take comfort to know
That we are reborn together,
Reborn to follow
So hold high young hopes
Find what you love and let the rest all go
Hearts
Burn
And it takes
More strength
To move on
Hearts
Burn
Dig up the nails,
Pull up the floorboards
Come to face with your subconscious mind
The devil, the sinner, the saint
They're all in our blood
But we must choose the path that we walk
We get to choose the path that we walk
Light the flame in your soul and burn on
Hearts
Burn
And it takes
More strength
To move on
Hearts
Burn
And it takes
More strength
To move on
Don't be afraid
To stumble and weep
Enjoy the journey
Even when its steep
The mountains teach us
to rise up and reach
Enjoy the journey
even when you're weak
Passion pushes the urge
Your love of life determines what you're worth
Go now and unlearn
And burn, and burn, and burn, and burn
Look in the basement of your heart
There is a light that just went dark
Look through the wreckage to find reverie
There is a truth that we all must see
Hearts
Burn
This is America the land of dreams
You're lifting me up again
I feel dangerous scared
My children don't like thunder
My children don't like rain
My children don't like fighting
My children play the game
My children don't like violence
My children don't like change
My children don't like silence
My children don't like pain
Hearts are lost and found
(Take me to America)
Hearts are lost and found
I'll be you won't stay
Too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
They've given you a start, too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
I cannot function, too bad
My children don't like movies
My children don't have dreams
My children don't think money
My children never scheme
The land of dreams
I've given you everything
That you could ask for
My children don't like thunder
Don't like rain
Change, change, change
My children don't like thunder
(w graber)
Hey - and did you want to help me out?
And help this fear and help this doubt
For what it's worth I have my doubts
So - when all is good and all is right
And you make day from what is night
I found this balance nature's right
[chorus]
Take this down and put it somewhere safe
And when it dies you'll call it rape
If thoughts are life then I don't think
So tell me who it was this time
Now - now climb the side of marburg cliff
With blood red moss instead of dirt
It's filled with every fear that's lurked
Well - well if you're counting, count on us
We'll help you find what you have loss
Well if it counts you've lost my trust
[chorus]
So this right I have my doubts
So this is something I have my doubts
Day by Day I wake up for you I do
and I rise to who knows who
well if I can say...some other day
Day by Day I reach out to you I do
and I pretend there's something to it
And if I can say...I've had better days
Day by Day I resort to you I do
and I wash up after you're through
If I can say...that's O.K.
You're in my head again
You're in my bed again
You're in my mirror again
And if you don't mind me...I don't mind you
Day by Day I reflect on you I do
Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone, and I'm in love to stay
He only sees what he wants
It serves to fool and distract him
While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained
His temple that was his home
Showed itself as mere cold stone
To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying
[CHORUS:]
And it's doubt that fills my head
Dreadful doubt dripping in dread
Leave me to live in my own world
I've had enough of yours
Follow the program and make plans
To become self-assured
Didn't end up the golden champion
Ended up on the floor
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
Paid all the dues I could afford
But what was due me got lost
Found I had gained some small respect
But I get little more
They say if at first you don't succeed
Leave well enough alone
Could never live just for the dollar
Day by day,
I'm falling more in love with you,
And day by day,
My love seems to grow.
There isn't any end to my devotion;
It's deeper, dear, by far than any ocean.
I find that day by day,
you're making all my dreams come true;
So come what may,
I want you to know
I'm yours alone
And I'm in love to stay,
As we go through the years
My situation brings me down
Boredom wraps it's arms around me
My inhibitions were thrown out the door so long ago
Now I sit here and I can't breathe
I feel I'm going nowhere fast
I ask myself how long this is gonna last
So I go day by day
And it feels the same way
Laugh at all the jokes I've heard before
On and on I turn the same page
Drunk and lying passed out the floor
What for
These complications have been here for so long
I don't think they're ever gonna leave
Tired of dealing with motivation
Stagnant as the water that I'm gonna drown my head in
Soon you'll see
The reason the season
Locked up inside I'm screaming
I'm trying defying everything that wasn't right
To get out of here
Too Bad" D. Armstrong, R. Armstrong
Last time I saw you
You left me crying on the floor
You just stepped over me
Running for the door
And if you think I want you back
You must be mad
Even if you were the last man
Cruel does not describe what you were to me
And my smile cannot disguise
And it's too bad
You left me
Too sad you're trying to get back into my life
And it's too bad
You made the wrong choice
Too sad I just don't care
Don't wanna know that I'm right
And it's too bad
The last time I saw you
You said you'd leave me wanting more
And at the time I believed you
And if you say you miss me
You can't have her
No I, I wouldn't touch you
And it's too bad
You left me
Too sad you're trying to get back into my life
And it's too bad
You made the wrong choice
Too sad I just don't care
Don't wanna know that I'm right
U feel good, u feel right
You're so good
U feel good, u feel right
You're so good
Tiptoe, over me, tiptoe
Tiptoe, over me, tiptoe
U feel good, u feel right
You're so good
Tears start over nightly
Go away, tears start over
Here over you, tears start over
Tears start, tears start over you
U feel good, u feel right
You're so good
Tears start, over, here over you
Tears start over, tears start
Tears start over (Go away)
Here over you
Tears just started over you
But I'm not over you
Tears start over you
Tears just started over you
Too many times I've seen your kind
Washed upon the shore
Too many times you locked me out
Johnny knockin', knocking at your door
You're looking past the mirror
Yes, you've reached the other side
You're striving for the pinnacle
But you're holding on too tight
And when you hold the ticket
For your one way ride
You wonder where you're going
And you can't hide
Too bad, too bad, Johnny
What you gonna do?
Too bad, too bad, Johnny
Now your time is through
So many highs and lows right now
What are we to do
You know we're trying so damn hard
Johnny just to try and talk to you
You're swimming in an ocean
It's so black and cold
I feel you got the notion
And it's eating at your soul
And when you hold the ticket
For your one way ride
You wonder where you're going
And you can't hide
Too bad, too bad, Johnny
What you gonna do?
Too bad, too bad, Johnny
Now your time is through
She said, she knew the answer
He was falling, falling faster
Round and round and round, no where to go
Someone had to help the boy
He said no, no, no
So many mixed emotions
And they're driving you insane
A grip on some reality
Silence quiet on your window pain
You're looking past the mirror
Yes, you've reached the other side
You're striving for the pinnacle
