Welcome (Hindi: वेलकम) is a 2007 Bollywood comedy film directed by Anees Bazmee, and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Feroz Khan, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Malika Sherawat and Paresh Rawal in lead roles, whilst Sunil Shetty appeared in a guest appearance, and Malaika Arora Khan in an Item number. It released on 21 December 2007.
Upon release, the film received mixed to positive reviews from critics,and was supported by the solid response from the public audiences. It turned out to be a huge critical and commercial success and was nominated for many Filmfare Awards, especially for its comic humour. The film was also the second highest grossing film of 2007, just behind Om Shanti Om.
It was Bollywood legend Feroz Khan's last film before he died from cancer in 2009.
Uday (Nana Patekar), a criminal don, takes it upon himself to get his kindhearted sister, Sanjana (Katrina Kaif) married, but he is unsuccessful since no one wants to be associated with a crime family. Dr. Ghunghroo (Paresh Rawal) has also been trying to get his nephew, Rajiv (Akshay Kumar), married but due to his condition—the alliance must be with a purely decent family—he is also unsuccessful.
There's nothing complicated about the
way we live
We're all here for each other, happy to give
Proud of who we are
Humbled beneath the stars
We've everything we need
The moon, the sun
There is more than enough here for everyone
All we have we share
And all of us we care, so come on
(Chorus)
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time

friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know and best of all
We're here to share it all
There's a bond between us, nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life,
and seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too...
so come on
(Chorus Repeat)
Welcome to our family time

Remembering loved ones departed
Someone dear to your heart
Finding love, and planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget
This has to be the most beautiful
The most peaceful place I've ever been to
It's nothing like I've ever seen before
When I think how far I've come,
I can't believe it...and yet I see it
In them I see family
I see the way we used to be
Come on...
(Chorus Repeat)

We're here to share it all
Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You've never seen before
Hear the fairytale unfold
What's behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Well, you'll be left out in the cold
Is it all blue skies, fun and games until you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face but soon the shine fades
And you're left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Ohh, been jaded, hated
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown
Always taking a bow, always working the crowd
Always breaking new ground, always playing the clown
Who'll be sticking it out? Who'll be staying around
Come to my house
Be one of the comfortable people.
Come to this house
We're drinking all night
Never sleeping.
Milkman come in!
And you baker,
Little old lady welcome
And you shoe maker
Come to this house!
Into this house.
Come to this house
Be one of us.
Make this your house
Be one of us.
You can help
To collect some more in
Young and old people
Lets get them all in!
Come to this house!
Into this house.
Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation.
Bring every single person
from Victoria Station,
Go into that hospital
and bring nurses and patients,
Everybody go home and fetch their relations!
Come to this house
Be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home
Drinking all night never sleeping.
We need more room
Build an extension
A colourful palace
Spare no expense now
Come to this house
Be one of us
Come into this house
Be one of us
Come to this house
Into this house

[Intro:] Groove as your soul sings.
Spinnin' all around as we dust a melody
Welcome to this groove you can move right
We gonna take you higher not caught in the quagmire
I can't survive on a stupid nine to five I'd rather be poor
Writing tunes livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers and significant others
Life in pursuit of only money we think it's funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring to me
Would be some gifts for my friends follow me now
Trips for my family
The only thing I love is freedom the people around me I need 'em I'd
like to build the world a spliff but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April twelfth whack
A Coney Island of the mind it's mine
I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco holmes I stroll because I'm thinking
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Traveling head spinnin' from the medicine
Illusions fadin' out an comin' on again
unwind your mind then find entire minutes abstract
the tract of sight day breaking in it
doles out my share of the world ocean and sun
Rising with whirling motion
I fought kicked and screamed my way to getting born now I feel
Warm and I say come on the night won't save anyone
won't you roam
We've grown so we can write again our soul select its own way for
The travellin'
we're here we're breathing and we wanna keep our
Blood running so we're gonna keep gunning till the next homecoming
I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie
To the bang bang come on
[Instrumental]
Welcome to Americana
Please make your selection
followed by the pound sign now
Welcome to the World of KMFDM
Let me introduce you to our new album, "Naive"
(Oliva/O'Neill)
The lights come on
The set is down
The curtain's flown away
To all you creatures of the night
I say it's time we play
We'll show you things
That in your life
You'd never dreamed you'd know
So now before the ghosts arrive
It's welcome to the show
Minstrels, kings, explorers
Fantasies on order
Ghosts and dreams awakened
Stories long forsaken
The minstrel and the sorcerer
Are switching their disguise
The jester drinks and start to think
That he alone is wise
The governor and journalist
Exchange a Judas kiss
And now before the song is done
The plot begins to twist
Ghosts and lost explorers
Fate with all her daughters
Saints and hopeless sinners
Wise men in their winters
Know
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
If you said it, and said it clearly
It would be heard by me
If you felt it, felt it in your heart
If your mind inside was like mine
You would find and see me
You would be welcome in my dreams
You would be welcome...
We have argued till we are black and blue
Nothing to say this is what I tell you
Happiness is as freedom
It is welcome
If you saw this,
You would know this is the truth
All of your hopes inside are lonesome
Without me, inside of you
I feel the world calling - I will wait for you
Oh, how you are dear to me
If you knew this you would see, this is the truth
You would be welcome to my dreams
You would be welcome...
No man can save the world, it takes a woman
No woman can save the world, it takes a man
Welcome...
You'd be welcome
No man welcome
No woman welcome
I am a product of your conduct
The uncontrollable urges that made me a menace
Are you proud, do you even care?
You taught us all to lie that's how we made it here
You should have buried the truth with your secrets
But you were far too impressed with your pretense
Now as far as I know, I don't know anything
'Cause you made damn sure I wasn't anything
Distractions, reactions
The only way to go, is to go away
Discarded, retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me
Clawed away from human clay
We are the broken shards, the art disarray
Before you condemn, you rape them, feed us meconium
Stunt our growth from our souls to our throats, cut
You shouldn't wall us up with your apathy
But you did now, you're only growing enemies
This is the catalyst, the alpha, the first breed
'Cause you made damn sure now we're everything
Distractions, reactions
The only way to go is to go away
Discarded, retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me
Much to my surprise, I will wake up
And follow the path of the ones I am made of
But this time I won't give in
I will save you from my sins
{What is wrong with this manipulation?}
{Violent and chaotic}
Ensconced in all that's wrong
I slam you shut, I can only take so much
How many times do I have to mistreat you?
Constantly biting my hand as I feed you
Maybe now you'll understand severity
I'll sum it up with the best amount of brevity
Welcome to the transformation
Welcome to annihilation
Welcome to the man that wanted
Everything but couldn't have it
Distractions, reactions
The only way to go, is to go away
Discarded, retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me
Much to my surprise, I will wake up
And follow the path of the ones I am made of
But this time, I won't give in, I will save you from my sins

And we're still in bed
We should be up working
But we're lying here instead
I look outside, the weather's fine
For playing music, and drinking wine
I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day, with you
Let's walk to the cafe
And sit in the sun
And read all the papers
And watch everyone
Cause life is short, and life is sweet
And sometimes you've just got to set yourself free
I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day, with you
I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day

Do you want a crazy night
Technician, hit the light
Hey we'll give you what you want, so now we're running
Wild

We don't like to tell you lies
We're five guys
We are watching with our eyes
We're five guys
We try to do it nice
That's our welcome to you
So how do you do ?
Dance around and shake
Until stars are in your head
But please be careful and watch out
That you don't hurt your neck
Now you girls, grap the boys
And you boys, grap the girls
Or boys grap boys, or girls grap girls
[Intro: Obie Trice - talking - echo]
Yeah, yeah, welcome, yeah
Obie Trice, the "Well Known Asshole"
Has just entered, motherfuckin demented
Check me out, y'all ain't ready
Yo, yo
[Verse: Obie Trice]
I walk the blocks in anger, your family's in danger
Young, black male, livin in Hell
Screamin "FUCK THAT SHIT! " (FUCK THAT SHIT!), speech description
Worries the old people, plus it keeps my mama bitchin
Low life, inflicted, liquor drinkin adolescent
Just was struck with the fact world ain't pleasant
Middle class nigga but daddy ain't home
Runnin the block with thugs Face and Jerome
Cocked my first heater, darin a nigga to step up
Gettin shot in the fuckin gut
That's 'cause I'm raunchy, channel my anger to stay grimy
Through this rap shit to prevent legal action (legal action)
No more jail cells for me (jail cells for me)
So to ceast the agony I just fuck up emcees (fuck up emcees)
Lacerate body parts
Fuck up your stage art, rippin microphones apart
Remain focused (remain focused), never no time for hocus pocus
Death to the emcee who front like he the dopest
Take a rope and wrap it around your neck (around your neck)
And squeeze, 'til I hear that shit crack (shit crack)
Who's next in line to get hit with a rhyme
That's built accordingly to destroy mankind (destroy mankind)
It's nothing complicated
Bout' the way we live
We are here for each other
Happy to give
All we have we share
And all of us we care
So come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
This is a festival
You know the best of all
We're here to share it all
If there's a bond between us
Nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life
We see friend again
I'll be there for you, i know you'd be there for me too
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
This is a festival
You know the best of all
We're here to share it all
Remembering love was departed
Someone did to your heart
Finding love, planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget
This has to be
The most beatiful, the most peaceful place
I've ever been to
Is nothing like i've ever seen
You are welcome to the gig
To drink some beer and sing with us
We raise our glasses in the air
And we hope you will be there
[Chorus:]
To sing with us and drink some beer
To raise our glasses in the air
To sing with us and drink some beer
We hope you all will be there
You are welcome to the gig
To drink some beer and sing with us
We raise our glasses in the air
And we hope you will be there
[Chorus]
You are welcome to the gig
To meet some friends and have some fun
We raise our bottles full of beer
And we hope you all are here
Ever since I was small I stood tall like the Palace of Ifle
Take a walk into my world ill be glad to invite you
Cause to me American is such an arrogant title
They should make a TV show called African idol
In the streets you should never turn your back of a rival
Cause every enemy active is liable
So if you feel something jaggin behind you causin havoc inside you
That's me pulling my knife from the back of your spinal
Fornicating and claiming to be a master disciple
Somebody should back stab him in the back of his bible
You babblin spiteful shenanigan franicin frightful
Spittin that savage recital you a faggot on vinyl
Don't you ever try to go against a rapper this vital
You rapping wit straight lines while my rapping it spirals
My thoughts stay on point like an accurate rifle
I get straight to the point like a jabber and slice you
Straight food got some grub in my cabinet like you
Ill stretch you across the table and wit a napkin and bite you
I'm alive cause I'm wise and I practice survival
Know the struggle so I balance the strible
Paid some grand's for my jewelry so my karats enlight you
Try to take my grand jewelry (jury) I'm a let the automatic indite you
Had to pull it from my heart to my attic to fight you
I left the arrogant stifle wit a strategist cycle
But I still rather entice you wit lavage delightful
Immaculate trifle raps I write you
Deep as the largest abyss sub-consciousness Pap a revive you
[Musica e testi: Eddy Antonini]
[The divine gladiators:] Into my world, into my thoughts.
[White Warrior:] My soul will rise again.
[The divine gladiators:] Into my heart, please let me start.
[White Warrior:] This is the trip of pain.
Somewhere in the desert, something in the sky,
I'll climb the iced mountain, I'm the Warrior White!
[The divine gladiators:] Into my world, into my thoughts.
[White Warrior:] My mind is here to fight again!
[The divine gladiators:] Into my heart, please let me start.
[White Warrior:] I want to find my way.
Somewhere in the desert, something in the sky,
I'll climb the iced mountain, whit destiny behind.
Nothing from the darkness, hear the final call,
I'm the Warrior White: I will save the world!
[White Warrior:] Into my world, into my thoughts,
I really want to save the world tonight.
[The divine gladiators:] I see my life, into yor eyes.
[White Warrior:] This is the welcome of the eternal fight.
No where to run, no where to go, the evil steps are signing the right day.
Come back to me, my deepest dream or I will lose my way.
[Bridge]
This is time to realise, to justify, to erase my pain.
Dragon's sword is by my side and I'll be back in the judgement day.
I will need the final answers, I will hear the final call!
Just on me depends the world.
[Pre-chorus]
So many days: I'll try to change it.
So many miles from home...
And I know the time will get better for me and my time has come!
[Chorus]
[Lady of the Light:] So kill the devil, do it for me;
let me realise all my dreams.
[White Warrior:] I'll kill the devil to be proud of me,
but my desires are dying!
[Pre-chorus]
[So many days:] I'll try to change it.
So many miles from home...
And I know the time will get better for me and my time has come!
[Chorus]
[Lady of the Light:] So kill the devil, do it for me;
let me realise all my dreams.
[White Warrior:] I'll kill the devil to be proud of me,
but my desires are dying!
I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love
I guess it wasn't so
Guess that's how the story goes
You didn't dig my flow
You didn't dig my flow
- But you're still welcome,welcome
Anytime you want some
Make yourself at home cause you're
Welcome
Tonight will make one week
Tonight's the anniversary
And if you don't talk to me
Tomorrow will never be
Six in the morning everything's nothing
Six in the eve everything's still the same
Wish you knew I just wish that you knew that
I really love you deep like a mother loves a child
I wanna love you like hot water running wild
Inside you momma sophisticated style
Check my dictionary
I guess it never was the way I thought it was
I say this only because
You never came to love
Welcome baby boy to a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm from your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you by surprise
You're so tiny that it scares me
Your nakedness just stares at me
And I never thought my head could spin so high
Welcome baby boy, don't look so confused
One day I'll try to sit down and explain
That the love that brought you here will never change
You're so helpless that it shakes me
Yet so charged with life you make me
So happy that I think, I'm gonna cry
Life has come to greet you child
Play it safe, play it wild reach for the truth
You're on the rules beyond the games
Life is yours and yours along
Free to settle, free to roam
Free to grow and free to change
Or free to fight to stay the same
Welcome baby boy to a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm from your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you by surprise
Welcome to the School Of Liberty
Let's do it
All these people that I've gathered,
they all have one thing in common.
And they know it will fulfil their dreams.
As we travelled through the ages,
all we saw was death and hunger.
Still we knew we would succeed at last.
We started to hear voices all around us,
saying things we had never heard before.
They told us that humanity was falling,
then we knew what we were supposed to do.
Come visit me,
everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.
Come dance with me,
everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
nature will support you.
You can watch us on the TV,
the preacher on the program that's me.
Now I have a house in Beverly.
If you're blind, unable to see.
You just send some money to me.
With my hands in perfect health you'll be.
We claim that we hear voices all around us,
nothing else but a trick for media.
We told you that humanity was falling,
might be true but there's nothing we can do.
Come visit me,
everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.
Come dance with me,
everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
nature will support you.
(symphonic beauty)
Come visit me,
everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.
Come dance with me,
everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
We're back again
Let's make a toast
And raise your glasses high
To everyone of you who doubted us
We're back again
Let's make a toast
And raise your glasses high
Wallking late at night
Looking all around
You don't know what's wrong
You just hear strange sounds
You just feel that darkness
Is a bit more black
You just know you go
Scarcely you'll be back
You still feel no fear
'Cause your soul is clear
But you have to pay parents' sin
Evil calls for you
You may hear it's howl and yell
Welcome you baby to hell.
One step through the glass
Three along the wall
Now you're falling down
Now you're near the door
You're the little girl
You are sweet-sweet child
Won't you open that door
See their evil smiles.
Right behind that door
Bright light strikes your eye
Is it witching flame
Is it hellish fire
They will take your body
They will rape your mind
They will torment you
So it's time to cry.
You still feel no fear
'Cause your soul is clear
But you have to pay parents' sin
Evil calls for you
You may hear it's howl and cry
Word up, Erick Sermon an' Keith Murray
Kickin' it to the beat
Respect my views on this day an' era
Keep your eyes upon me an' not the sparrow of Barettas
I'm fly than any bird of this earth
For what it be, my style is butter like Worth
I freak the beat like I'm lost in the twilight
A zone with no phone, lookin' over parasites
I pack the house like Woodstock when I rock
A three day event of me droppin' the illest shit
From here to New Jerz, back to Brooklyn an' Queens
The Uptown to Bronx River, I still deliver
The off the wall for y'all
Rearranged, Cameo-type strange, pumpin' through your veins
What your mommy do if you're not ready to die like Biggie?
I'ma keep jammin' like Ziggy
I got the arrows wiped down like Funkmaster Flex
Sway an' Tech an' Premier an' we in here
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are
Now, it's on like that, once again, it's gettin' hot
Now, it's time to blow up the spot
For my niggaz out there on the block gettin' money
Playas whose hustlin', doin' their thing
But me, I've lounged without the stone
Do it for my peeps, take it to the streets
All day, everyday, I sets the mood
Pile a bell of 'Aye' with new attitudes
I change not for the worst, but for the better
An' be a trend-setter an' bring the best ever
Yeah, teach me for the president
So I can bring the vibes through your residence
The ghetto blast, the green eyed rapper slash producer
An' O.J. with the juice
Y'all know me, it's the E R I C K
So enjoy the day an' peace to Marvin Gaye
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are
Let's groove back an' forth like Aaliyah
If you don't got the vibe, then I wouldn't want to be ya
I threw it like a rap attack from New York to Hackensack
Kiss myself an' jump back, surprise like a Crackerjack
The eye can bring the smiles without Chanice
An' make enemies call truce, or even peace
Funk Lord, fights back again without the force
Or blue sky Chewbacca, R2D2 an' the crew
The miracle worker, God praise him, praise him
All of them ready for the funk, you feel like you want like
Whatever you requested an' you suggested
That I 'Bring the pain' like Method
It's nothin' nice 'cause I'm down for whatever
Me an' my Baretta, me an' my Baretta
Goddammit, don't leave your dog stranded
Who? Yeah, the Green Eyed Bandit
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that an' everybody's welcome
You are welcome
It's on like that
Approach and bring your expectation
There are some dreams to be fulfilled
Maybe you feel a lack of sensation
I've got some lovely little thrills
I swear without exaggeration
We sell you every kind of frights
And if you're looking for salvation
Just take it if the price is right
Won't you come in
Where we all live in sin
Come closer and we'll make a deal
We make a sellout
For the sake of the crowd
Just pay us and we'll make you feel
Come on in and spend an hour
Or two up there in the dark tower
Where there is nothing as it seems
Follow me to where hopes die
The realm of the black butterfly
I welcome you here in my dreams
If you should need some satisfaction
I am the one to help you out
We've got a bunch of sweet attractions
Get everything at our sellout
Won't you give in
Where we all live in sin
Come closer and we'll make a deal
We make a sellout
For the sake of the crowd
Just pay us and we'll make you feel
Come on in...
Under every stair and around every corner
Some shadows are lurking watch out let me warn ya
Please mind the steps it's a long way to fall
Can't you see the writing on the wall
In every hall and in every room
Another nightmare up here in the gloom
Come on if you dare
Come on up the stair
Stay just for a while
With me here on the tiles
Just for a moment so warm and so nice
You know that I'm mostly harmless
Let's drown in our eyes
So who is we
And who are you
Say can't you see
We do just
What we
Have to do
Welcome my friends
Welcome to laugh and tragic
To innocence and sin
It's calling and curse
We're here to play the game again
The show must go on
Moving home where silence's waiting in each shaded corner
Laughing at my face when I need shelter from the world but
That is life, from time to time it's falling to pieces
So I open up my heart and let the music grow cause
It is the old soul inside the melody and
We are all addicted to
It's a mirror-writing-world
It's melting mind and deed in harmony
Healing just as ruin
But it's worth the fall, it is our last escape
Welcome my friends
Welcome to laugh and tragic
To innocence and sin
It's calling and curse
We're here to play the game again
The show must go on
Hopelessness on thousand walls
Singing songs of freedom so
Hate the flying bird as you love his song
From the most distance time
I see my dignity fail
All the wasted tears about a barren land
Don't sow the tree of life
From the most distance time
I see my dignity fail
All the wasted tears about a barren land
Don't sow the tree of life
Don't sow the tree of life
Waking up in ease and comfort, greet the lovely morning
Each and every day beside your calm, familiar presence
It's like a symphony, an everlasting mercy
So I open up my heart and let the music grow cause
It is the old sole inside the melody and
We are all addicted to
It's a mirror-writing-world
It's melting mind and deed in harmony
Healing just as ruin
But it's worth the fall, it is our last escape
Welcome my friends
Welcome to laugh and tragic
To innocence and sin
It's calling and curse
We're here to play the game again
The show must go on
In elation and delight
Lies no eternity so
Love the bounteousness as you fear the end
From the most distance time
I see my dignity arise
Into the sky, into my heart
Sowing the tree of life
From the most distance time
I see my dignity arise
Into the sky, into my heart
Sowing the tree of life
Cherish the bloom of life
Welcome to our house
We only wanted to be good for the caller
Welcome to us, leave a message
Let us know what you're after
It may seem like there's nobody home
Really we're sitting right by the phone
Letting you speak to the machine
[TOMMY]
Come to my house,
Be one of the comfortable people.

And bring the nurses and patients.
Everybody go home and fetch their relations.

Be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home,
We're drinking all night never sleeping.

Hullo, Tommy, there's more at the door.

Make this your house,
Be one of us.
Come to me now!
Come to me now!
Welcome!
Welcome!
You see your sun is gentle, see the Sunday clothes
And the new beginnings just beginning to unfold
Best of all the summers warm, see our lady with her shawl
Come and come forever, could you go, go, go for more?
Now your welcome with us
Now your welcome with us more
Now your welcome with us more
And who would you disintegrate for?
And see us in the kitchen, see us on the floor
And the new beginnings that are beginning at the door
Best of all the summers warm, see our lady with her shawl
Come and come forever, could you go, go, go for more?
Now your welcome with us
Now your welcome with us more
Now your welcome with us more
And who could you disintegrate for?
Get it all in the open, get it out of your cloak
And the new beginnings just beginning to unfold
Best of all the summers warm, see our lady in her shawl
Come and come forever could you go, go, go for more
Now your welcome with us
Now your welcome with us more
Now your welcome with us more
And who could you?
And who would you disintegrate for?
Disintegrate for?
Disintegrate for?
Did I come at a bad time?
Did I say something wrong?
And don't tell me I'm crazy, I wouldn't be writing this song
If I didn't feel, didn't feel this way.
Baby is it real, is it real?
Don't say I'm not dreaming
Just tell me I'm not awake.
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
Did I disappoint you baby or did I just take too long.
'Cause honestly lately I can't tell whats going on
And I don't want to make this about me
And I don't want to pleed on you
But surely I've got something to do with you feeling blue
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
Anymore
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
Anymore
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
Anymore
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
Anymore
Did I come at a bad time?
Did I say something wrong?
And don't tell me I'm crazy, I wouldn't be singing this song.
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Woah, but the one thing is for certain, I don't want to do this anymore.
'Cause I just don't feel welcome in this house anymore
And it just doesn't feel as safe as it did only just two days before.
Why do we come this way, I'm not sure.
Listen carefully
As I introduce You to a world like no other
A world far beyond your wildest imagination
A place where your dreams come to life
far away from the place where evolution is the key to your survival
Relax
As you drift deep into your own thoughts
contemplate the reason you exist
will the value of your triumph's today be worth the same tomorrow
Will it self destruct and destroy the human race as you know it, will you control your life
Will your life control you
now follow me freely
as i lead you to
There's nothing complicated about the way we live
We're all here for each other, happy to give
Proud of who we are
Humbled beneath the stars
We've everything we need, the moon, the sun
There is more than enough here for everyone
All we have we share
And all of us we care, so come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival
You know and best of all
We're here to share it all
There's a bond between us, nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life and seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too, so come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
This is our festival
You know and best of all
We're here to share it all
Remembering loved ones departed
Someone dear to your heart
Finding love and planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget
This has to be the most beautiful
The most peaceful place I've ever been to
It's nothing like I've ever seen before
When I think how far I've come
I can't believe it and yet I see it
In them I see family
I see the way we used to be, come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival
You know and best of all
We're here to share it
You had to leave like you were cast far and wide,
You didn't have a choice,
there was nothing to decide
without food in our bellies,
without a pick in our bones,
without a scrap on our backs
we had to leave our homes...
So welcome home,
even though you're far from yours
Welcome home,
welcome to these shores..
You don't have to change your culture or your ways,
your language or your heart,
you're welcome as you are...
Don't listen to their words,
we won't leave you down
They're traitors to our dead,
to our history abroad,
We sailed on coffin ships
to many foreign shores
We were welcome to their lands
and now the turn is ours...
So welcome home,
even though you're far from yours
Welcome home,
welcome to these shores..
You don't have to change your culture or your ways,
your language or your heart,
I have my own beam light
An apparition, a sensation is no guide
And on my way to see
Something caught my eye
The light inside is on
Watch your step
Take a breath if you come in
Did i invite you in
Most impressions fade
But you're still standing
There is no landing for now
A watchful eye can see right in
Will it be innocence or just a daydream that dies
How did you get so close to being in here
Aboard an old pirate ship made of wet souls,
we plunder and pillage from north to south poles.
We only steal metal like guns, tanks and toasters.
Approach and bring your expectation
There are some dreams to be fulfilled
Maybe you feel lack of sensation
I've got some lovely little thrills
I swear without exaggeration
We sell you every kind of frights
And if you're looking for salvation
Just take it of the price is right
Won't you come in where we all life in sin
Come closer and we'll make a deal
We'll make a sellout for the sake of the crowd
Just pay us and we'll make you feel
Come on in and spend aan hour
Or two up here in the dark tower
Where there is nothing as it seems
Follow me to where hopes die
The realm of the black butterfly
I welcome you here in my dreams
If you should need some satisfaction
I am the one to help you out
We've got a bunch of sweet attractions
Get everything at our sellout
Won't you give in
Where we all...
Come on in and spend...
Under every stair and around every corner
Some shadows are lurking but child let me warn you
Please mind the steps
It's a long way to fall
Can't you see the writing on the wall
In every hall and in every room
Another nightmare up here in the gloom
Come on if you dare
Come on up the stair
Stay just for a while
With me here on the tiles
Just for a moment
So warm and so nice
You know that I'm mostly harmless
Let's drown in our eyes
So who is we
And who are you
Say can't you see
We do just what we have to
Come on in...
Welcome everyone, to the second era of disunity
Democracy fails as wars for resources become a common occurrence.
As we tear each other apart in the middle east for oil,
Africa for diamonds,
and Asia for space and rubber control,
all seems lost.
It feels as if we're killing a statistic
rather than another human being.
Millions die in wars and genocide
as major news corporations exploit the deaths to better keep
the higher class first world countries enslaved by their retinas.
amidst all the chaos, all the death and destruction,
four boys ride in a minivan as a noise resonates from their stereo system
a sound that makes all the troubles, hate and oppression of this world melt away
a sound that makes all four of them sing along in unison...
... music.
We're falling stars
We try to give love
We're burning now
Just trying to keep warm
This is for you, for you
For all your smiles
For every fuckin time you were there for me
I swear I won't forget it
Tonight two becomes one
Tonight the time slows down
And we feel alive like the first time
No matter where we'll be
No matter what they say
Don't care about their lies
we won't change our mind
Until the end of time we'll be here
Fighting
Screaming
Two against the world
The sun will come
Welcome
And we'll be there together
Watching our last dawn
All the stars don't shine
'Cause the brightest is mine
Welcome to the city life
To the modern age
Welcome to the city life
To the dream machine
Welcome to Germany
A happy world on TV
But here is the real story
Of crime and brutality
Fascism and poverty
Drugs and insanity
Where greed is priority
Welcome in the shit!
That's why I hate it!
That's why I fucking hate it!
Deutschland mein Vaterland
Hier wird wer nicht passt verbannt
Vor über 60 Jahren sogar noch verbrannt
Wo keiner die Gefahr erkannt
Maul halten ist hier eine Tugend
Probleme schiebt man auf die Jugend
Ein Alptraum der zum Roboter macht
Times have changed
my friend
but they're still beautiful
Recall the place where I was born:
Childhoods
fields of green
it's me
the mad machine
I've come to play and run away.
When you wake up in the mornin'
wake up the melody
You can hear them call your name
your best friend is technology.
Round and round you're never lazy
round you turn in lullabies
29 - you're goin crazy - machine gun.
35 - he joined the Navy
good ole Navy's harmony
Then he got a broken heart on 20th anniversary.
Send your love to operators
send your love into the rain
Every day your solitude may hurt you like a hurricane.
So welcome
oh welcome
machine gun
oh welcome!
Martha planned to make a movie
movie made in stereo.
Then she went to California winded up on radio.
Round about the Navy-ballroom
get the man in gabardine
Kiss him once and kiss them all and send me cards on Halloween.
So welcome
oh welcome
machine gun
so welcome
machine gun!
Voice of silence come
the world's so wonderful
We cry
make love and the wind goes on.
Monday up to Saturday you kick your soul from 9 to 5
Sunday's always wonderful
you wander on the TV line.
Love is not a silly notion
love is not a monorail
Love is like the way you love
a candle in the hurricane.
So welcome
oh welcome
machine gun
oh welcome
welcome
machine gun!
So welcome
oh welcome
machine gun
oh welcome
Open up your curtains, let sun shine in
Can you see the difference it makes
In this world you're entering?
(You think you're ready, well, you never know)
What do you think
(Don't you think it's time just to let it go)
This world needs?
Welcome to the world
Thrown into the mess that all the rest made
Welcome to the world
Big ideals and fears are one in the same
Welcome to the world
It doesn't need another love or rock song
Welcome to the world

Bring something genuine

Can you feel it coming?
Welcome to the movement
To the moment
Welcome to the movement
Welcome
Welcome to the world
Thrown into the mess that all the rest made
Welcome to the world
Big ideals and fears are one in the same
Welcome to the world
It doesn't need another love or rock song

It doesn't need another love or rock song

Intro:
Welcome..
Respect is shown..
I welcome y'all as a guest in my home
Where I create
Where I rest my ?
Diz Gibran man...
My nigga Moonshine
Verse 1:
From my mouth to God's ears
Endured some hard years of living
Any advice I'm all ears
I do it for people looking for lives to call theirs
Just trying to find a way to recline like lime shares
Is Diz Gibran dead ? like I'm walking on air
With a robe overgrown beard and long hair
Beyond rare I'm good money so buddy
No need to count it it's all there
Hardware for the text savvy and gladly
I'll upgrade it maintain it and update it
I'm above greatness so much that I love haters
For keeping up with what I've done latest
Lifestyles of the young and famous
Take a dander at the one who made it
With other candor I communicate it
I do it basic no strings associated
No weaklings in the chain my team is motivated
Don't debate it it's a no win, no pen
Can match what we're capable of
Conceive that either that or nigga take it in blood
So ease back believe it's poltergeist on the mic
He's back, I leave slack for the late comers
Already got too many cats on my dick take a number
Eighth wonder in place with great wonder
Any top seat runner I'm paced to take under
Take cover nigga run for the hills
Ain't another coming krill like the brother Khalil
And still number one if I never make another joint
It's where your least expect it
Around the corner and in your face
It's regretful and tasteless
And at times there's not even a trace
Like a stab in the back or a distant surprise
An undefiable law we're so accustomed to find
Perhaps a knock on the door or a slap in the face
1.2.3 stikes you're out and you're out on the lake
Fishing. Fishing. Fishing and welcome
Welcome to reality [2x]
R-E-A-L-I-T-Y
It's a secret that everyone but me already knows
Like a warm summer breeze in the snow
It's cake. It's cake and everyone's got a fucking piece but me
Like the super heroes we're noy. But at times we all must bleed
And welcome to Reality
I never thought I'd feel the marks,
From choices I have made that stopped a heart beat,
I find my solace in the dark,
The space between the pain is you forgiving,
It kills me everyday I have to say I let you down,
But what would you do? What would you do if you couldn't?
Some boxed ambition and a dream,
So far from where we are and where we should be,
She said don't give up everything,
To fall amongst the Stars,
But that ain't living,
Cause this is our chance to break,
This is our chance to break the chains,
What would you do, What would you do? If you couldn't?
Welcome to the Price. Welcome to the least of your worries,
A toll for the lights,
Was it all worth doing? (x2)
Of all the Stars in Hell you're the one, the one who deserves to be here the most.
(Chorus # 2)
Welcome to the price, Welcome to the least of your worries,
A toll for the lights, A toll for the point you were proving,
Welcome to the price, Welcome to the least of your worries,
"Welcome here to our home
We've been waiting for you
Everbody here has just been dying to meet you"
As I cross the doorstep to this house
There's something so familiar
As I cross the doorstep to this house
I realize I'm dreaming again.
"Come now, the guests await
Step right this way
Come on
Hope you enjoy your stay
Step right this way
Come on
May I introduce you to the people?
Good friends
Some of them come a long way
Some have waited a long time"
As I cross the doorstep to this house
There's something so familiar
As I cross the doorstep to this house
I realize I'm dreaming again
"Come now, the guests await
Step right this way
Come on
Hope you enjoy your stay
Step right this way
Come on
On this wall in the hallway many paintings hang here
Portraits of the stories how these people came here"
As I pass the portrait of a girl
She's really too familiar
As I pass the portrait of this girl
I realize I'm dreaming again
"Right down across the way is the room you'll stay in
Come on
But if you've got the time
I'll tell you this rhyme about her
I'll tell you a story that's about that girl
Welcome everyone, to the second era of disunity
Democracy fails as wars for resources become a common occurrence.
As we tear each other apart in the middle east for oil,
Africa for diamonds,
and Asia for space and rubber control,
all seems lost.
It feels as if we're killing a statistic
rather than another human being.
Millions die in wars and genocide
as major news corporations exploit the deaths to better keep
the higher class first world countries enslaved by their retinas.
amidst all the chaos, all the death and destruction,
four boys ride in a minivan as a noise resonates from their stereo system
a sound that makes all the troubles, hate and oppression of this world melt away
a sound that makes all four of them sing along in unison...
Welcome to a place where the guns don't pop
But a place where the fun don't stop
Homie
To a place where Jesus be
And we don't even need a Jesus piece
Homie
Welcome
To a place where we follow the Bible and we don't even need jars of dro
Homie and ain't nobody tryna grind for shine
Cause Jesus is the star of the show
And that's real
You ask us where the guns at homie where the weed at
We like kill that homeboy we don't need that
Instead of the heat we'll be where G-O-D's at
So we reachin' out with open arms like where your sleeves at
I notice something cats'll die for they reputation
They rather die disin' God and to get with Satan
But on this side we collide in anticipation
Of Jesus' second coming written in Revelation
We don't grip steel sell crack none of that
We live life in light of the fact He's coming back
So while they squeeze clips blood crip gang banging
East coast west coast down south slanging
Midwest nina poppin'seein' Jesus hangin'
On the cross resurrected' and you still thinkin'
That you cool without His grace is crazy
Its a slap to the face of the God who made me and you
Welcome to a place where the guns don't pop
But a place where the fun don't stop
Homie
To a place where Jesus be
And we don't even need a Jesus piece
Homie
Welcome
To a place where we follow the Bible and we don't even need jars of dro
Homie and ain't nobody tryna grind for shine
Cause Jesus is the star of the show
And that's real
We kissed the world goodbye
And its love for women its love for sinning
Simply because His love is in us
We kissed the world goodbye
And its music too that music's confused dudes like a rubrics cube
Homienow we pluggin' into Christian rap
So many lyrics about Christ a make a Christian snap
And wanna spread love to a thug with a nine milli
And I ain't playin' this time dirty and I'm silly
And every movie and commercial that makes fun of us
Like South Park with wicked hearts that come up
And comic view and Islamic dudes that do it too
One day the Bible say they'll pay homage too
The very King that they mocked and laughed at
The Bible says at they very plots He laughs back
So we gone love our enemies and we gone have fun
As we patiently wait on the return of the Son
