The Gauls were a Celtic people living in Gaul, the region roughly corresponding to what is now France, Belgium, Switzerland and Northern Italy, from the Iron Age through the Roman period. They mostly spoke the Continental Celtic language called Gaulish.
Gauls under Brennus defeated Roman forces in a battle circa 390 BCE. The peak of Gaulish expansion was reached in the 3rd century BCE, in the wake of the Gallic invasion of the Balkans of 281-279 BCE, when Gaulish settlers moved as far afield as Asia Minor.
Archaeologically, they were the bearers of the La Tène culture (5th to 1st centuries BCE). In the 3rd century BCE, the Gauls expanded towards the southeast in a series of invasions, including the Gallic Invasion of Greece, with a few settling as far east as Anatolia, as the Galatians. They were conquered by Julius Caesar in the Gallic Wars in the 50s BCE, and during the Roman period became assimilated into a Gallo-Roman culture. During the crisis of the third century, there was briefly a breakaway Gallic Empire under Postumus, Marcus Aurelius Marius and Tetricus I. By the arrival of the Franks during the Migration Period (5th century), the Gaulish language had been replaced by Vulgar Latin.
Gaius Julius Caesar (Classical Latin: [ˈɡaː.i.ʊs ˈjuː.lɪ.ʊs ˈkaj.sar], July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman and a distinguished writer of Latin prose. He played a critical role in the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.
In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed a political alliance that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were opposed by the conservative elite within the Roman Senate[citation needed], among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar's conquest of Gaul, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain.
These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse Pompey's standing. The balance of power was further upset by the death of Crassus in 53 BC. Political realignments in Rome finally led to a standoff between Caesar and Pompey, the latter having taken up the cause of the Senate. Ordered by the Senate to stand trial in Rome for various charges, Caesar marched on Rome with one legion—legio XIII—from Gaul to Italy, crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC. This sparked a civil war from which he emerged as the unrivaled leader of the Roman world.
Nicholas Ostler (born 20 May 1952) is a British scholar and author. Ostler studied at Balliol College, Oxford, where he received degrees in Greek, Latin, philosophy, and economics. He later studied under Noam Chomsky at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned his Ph.D. in linguistics and Sanskrit.
His 2005 book Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World documents the spread of language throughout recorded human history.
His 2007 book Ad Infinitum: A Biography of Latin looks specifically at the language of the Romans, both before and after the existence of their Empire. The story focuses on the rise, spread, and dominance of Latin, both among other languages of the Italian peninsula in the early part of the 1st millennium BC and among the languages of Western Europe in the Dark Ages and beyond, presenting the life of Latin as any biographer would present the life of his subject. With this book, Ostler provides a strong argument against the label 'dead language' so often assigned to Latin. However, the title, 'Ad Infinitum,' refers not to this, but to his thesis that the Latin-speaking world was unconscious of its own limits, looking always back to its centre, rather than outwards.
The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. They lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul. The wars paved the way for Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman Republic.
Although Caesar portrayed this invasion as being a preemptive and defensive action, most historians agree that the wars were fought primarily to boost Caesar's political career and to pay off his massive debts. Still, Gaul was of significant military importance to the Romans, as these had been attacked several times by native tribes both indigenous to Gaul and farther to the north. Conquering Gaul allowed Rome to secure the natural border of the river Rhine.
The Gallic Wars are described by Julius Caesar as himself in his book Commentarii de Bello Gallico, which is a pertinent and only slightly tendentious and altogether the most important historical source regarding the conflict.

Last year, Valentine's day
You would spoil me and say
"Babe, I love you, love you (Yo, he's lying) and I swear"
Held you when you were sick, even ... (sucked yo dick)
The whole time I think to myself, this isn't fair
What is this I see (No)
You don't come home to me (Oh, no)
When you don't come home to me (Man)
Can't deal, can't bear
You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I found her red coat
And you're (Bitch) caught out there
- I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ahhhhh...
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ahhhhh...
I hate you so much right now
So sick of your games, I'll set your truck to flames
And watch it blow up, blow up, (ha-ha-ha) tell me

So far from sincere (I love you)
Fabrications in my ear
Drive me so far up the wall
I come slidin' down
What is this I see (I don't believe this)
You don't come home to me
When you don't come home to me
I can't deal, can't bear (I won't)
You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I hope you're happy
Since you're caught out there
(Yeah, you've been caught)
Yo', come on
Come on
(She's so)
Raunchy, so vulgar, not me, why the hell her
Look, she dresses (Look at her)
A mess, what do you see (I don't know)
It's not all about cash (Hell, no)
Not how much you flash
How I dress is a reflection of me
What is this I see
You don't come home to me (Uh-uh)
When you don't come home to me
Can't deal, can't bear (Told you I won't)
You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I got somethin' for y'all
Don't wake me
I'm still dreaming
I don't see you
I can't feel you
I'm alone for real in my mind
I'll feel this all night
When my life takes flight
- This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
I feel like I'm falling
What happens when I hit?
Must mean then that's it
This black abyss, this pit
It all seems shades of gray
I'm never ready for light of day
Why do you hurt me?
This reality
Why you smile at me?
Show your fallacies
Dreams hold me down
But let me go
When reality will wake me
Am I dreaming?
If so, then why?
My bodies back on Earth
Only spirits can fly
Soaring through dimensions of love
Kinds only my father speaks of
Scenery changes, spins and roll
So does the color of our soul
I know how this must make you feel
You hate me but believe me this is real
Last night we were watching this game show
They were talking 'bout marriage
And that stuff you know
I found myself laughing
Cause those couples weren't clear
And then here he comes with this bright idea
So I said to him
- I know you mean well
You're genuine I can tell
Besides you and me
I know that we would soar
But are you ready?
You gotta be sure, you gotta be sure
- Oh no, I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, you're price ain't right, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Hey this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby you're price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey this is my life, hold on
So we're arguing
Talking about it back and forth
And forth and back as if there is no source
And now I'm wondering
Is this what he had in mind?
Cause if I thought we'd get through that door
Tell me what's gonna be my price
So I said to him
- Game show, game show, game show
Baby, you're price ain't right, hold on
Hey this is my life hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby you're price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on

If you think the government just don't know nothing
Better watch out, watch out
Ay yo, ay yo the whole world gets hot
When they hear this Neptune talk
N.E.R.D. we levitate when we moon walk
Ain't shit stoppin', my laser clip dropping
Pullin' up in my intersects with my bitch robbing
Star Track we walk around with rockets in our pockets
Make my fucking dick hard the way my glock spit
Remind me of last night got my neck and cock licked
Day dream, rude awakening she smoking chocolate
Jesus, Simon
Love roaming like Caesar's time and
Yo Kelis you Arabian diamond
If I'm the sun and your a diamond
Baby we be shining
And all my hoes gone
You blowed them away and the ozone
So hot and so rich feeling this ghost tone
Sol nigga and sol bitch
Accept our foes is gone
The world smells is fishy
But I smell nothing when your lips kissed me
Guardian now, fuck is he?
Don't dare but love me
Karats stuffed
Straight up beware of us
Body in the truck odor it's just scared of us
The devil's mad and ain't trying to see the Armageddon
So I name our first daughter Nazareth
My first son Heaven
Yeah the world is real crazy, huh
And ya don't stop, uh
Star Track, Kelis, that's how we do it
Got credit cards in my pockets
But I walk past bums all day
(Why, why, why)
I see dealers pushing poisons
But I have nothing to say
(Why, why, why)
I date two people at the same time
Knowing it is twice the sin
(Why, why, why)
Oh yes, I have this little problem here I'm being vain again
(Why, why)
Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real
Hey little Suzie, you don't have to cry no more
Hey little Bobby, don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica, you just keep up with the score
'Cuz God closes the windows
Next thing you know He opens doors
I blew my paycheck getting real high today
(Why, why, why)
I lied and told my nephew that I had no more time to play
(Why, why, why)
I saw this lady getting robbed I looked away
(Why, why, why)
I put my grandma in a home and made her stay
(Why, why)
Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real
Hey little Suzie, you don't have to cry no more
Hey little Bobby, don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica, you just keep up with the score
'Cuz God closes the windows
Next thing you know He opens doors
Singing la la la
Singing la la la
I give in church
But you are asking me where it really goes
(Why, why, why)
I could give more but I end up spending it on shoes and clothes
(Why, why, why)
I chew ice, look at my watch some Middle Eastern babies sold
(Why, why, why)
In the winter I have furs knowing some poor child is cold
(Why, why)
Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real
What if the holy trinity was Christians, Muslims, Jews
Yet we bomb each other for more coverage on the news
He was this he wasn't that he never touched the girl either way
Our messiah shall save the world
Hey little Suzie, you don't have to cry no more
Hey little Bobby, don't you worry about th war
Hey little Jessica, you just keep up with the score
'Cuz God closes windows
Next thing you know He opens doors
Hey little Suzie, you don't have to cry no more
Hey little Bobby, don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica, you just keep up with the score
'Cuz God closes windows
Next thing you know He opens doors
Singing la la la
Singing la la la

You come stand in line
And over here, come get my kiss
And I'll be clear:
I need some distance
I want the distance, some distance
Is there someone else on your mind
When your lips press up on mine
I taste the difference
Now I need some distance, some distance
Why pretend everything's ok
I'll put my time in
And this will never be safe
Will never be the same girl I was when
Calling you Chris
Tonight, I'm fine, your goodbye
Cause you really don't wanna go
Here tonight, I won't cry,
But you never listen though
You come stand in line
And over here, come get my kiss
And I'll be clear:
I need some distance
I want the distance, some distance
Is there someone else on your mind
When your lips press up on mine
I taste the difference
Now I need some distance, some distance
Who knows who to blame
Should've brought us close
The ones you say you never knew most
I am a once, and you will get it twice
It's for the best, and now it's turning fast
Tonight, I'm fine, your goodbye
Cause you really don't wanna go
Here tonight, I won't cry,
But you never listen though
You come stand in line
And over here, come get my kiss
And I'll be clear:
I need some distance
I want the distance, some distance
Is there someone else on your mind
When your lips á¹—ress up on mine
I taste the difference
Now I need some distance, some distance
All I wanna feel is distance between us
All I wanna feel is distance between us
All I wanna feel is distance between us
[1st Verse:]
Lookin’ too fly walkin’ to the bar
Niggas wanna stop, askin’ who I are
Hands on my waist tryna find out
If I’m gonna flip off of one drink and can he get down
I’m a rock hip-hop pop star
Bitch I got the doe and a fast car
Never run from nothin’ when I come thru
Roll with the realest that can take out your whole crew
[Hook:]
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!

[2nd Verse:]
I don’t like to dance to a slow song
You too close and I can’t get my groove on
Drop a beat and let a girl feel somethin’
I’m so gutter, watch me two-step do somethin’
Tippy-toes tip and make a mean walk
I ain’t tryna listen to your big talk
High off my drink for the third time
Boy, come and get it
Watch me make these niggas fall in line
[Hook:]
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!

[3rd Verse:]
‘Bout to head to the hills ‘fore I pass out
Get my coat from the check ‘fore I spaz out
Pull my whip to the front and I jump in
Catch a look comin’ from the niggas in the black Benz
Red light and now they tryna hop in
(Remember when I was in school, I was your boyfriend)
Got the tint so we never entertain those
Hungry-ass groupies on the phone like they got hoes
[Hook:]
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!

[Bridge:]
Now I’m feelin’ m’m, m’m good
Eyes filled up with the bloodshots
Look like a lamp with the lights out
Now he’s tryna get a lick but I’m long gone
Keep, keep talkin’
Keep, keep talkin’
Keep, keep talkin’
Keep, keep talkin’
[Smoke’s Rap:]
Who’s this man who’s not star?
Yet you wondering who I are
On track with rock hip-hop star, the pop star
Who the man behind hot bars?
Smoke, I’m soon to be popular
Now, where he from?
Is it my city, your city?
All you need to know, I come from a dope city
Never shoot the boys, still keep the dope Bentley
Text to the cush with a chase of the Henny
And when I’m lookin’ for a freak, really picky-picky
And if it smell icky, tell her pull up her Vickie’s
But if it smell alright, I might do the licky-licky
Let you suck on my neck but, please, no hickie-hickies
[Hook:]
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
I can make a whole song talk shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!
(Hicky-Hicky-Hicky) Aww shit!

There's only one way to my galaxy
Hop on your moon soon
Don't separate it from me
Your feet wont' touch the ground
Cause there's no gravity
Experiencing my trilogy
It seems like you're ready to go
Got your bags packed up
And your mind is set on touching the stars
Can't you tell I'm ready to leave
So I can meet you wherever you are, baby
Something 'bout the sky
Something 'bout tonight
Something 'bout the way you look
Something 'bout your eyes
Something 'bout that flight
that makes me wanna ride in outer space with you all night
We can start the countdown now
Got my rockets turned on
So we can blast off straight to the moon
You can take that jacob off
Cause we won't be coming back no time soon, oh no, we won't
We can reach the sun by dawn
Feel the heat that's pouring at me
NASA should call off the search cause this Earth has nothing for me
Buckle up your seatbelts
We're about to land in 20 seconds
Oh, oh, Thank You.
You.
Thank You for continuing to fly with me
throughout this whole ride, ride
Your appearance turn me on
Your natural self its really coming off strong
There's not to many dudes that catch my eyes
But if you stick around I give you a slice of the pie
I dont just like you
I like you, like you
I dont just like you
I like you, like you
Can we come together
Can we come together
You can fluff my feathers
Fluff my feathers

Hey baby what you doing?
Your flight left yet?
Pshh, I'm half way there
I can't wait to see you
So tell me have you left yet, damn
I'm running late to the airport
Every time we do this
In my mind saying should I go through with this?
All I see is you kissing me
Last time shut my eyes
Plane goes higher, higher
Hotel's booked all I have to do is get my key
I can't wait to have you walk up and hold on me, yeah
I've never felt this way before
- But in the morning
When you're gone
I must wait and be strong
And have faith
You'll return
In my arms
Hope you miss your flight
Hope you miss your flight
Casablanca has always been my dream
I heard that it's absolutely radiant in spring
In the garden drinking shots of Hennesy
Calm my nerves, it's been way too long for me
Finally we're driving in a far out dream
Nothing seems even real or close for me
Afternoon sun showers change the way I see
I've never felt this way before
It's okay, it's okay
(It's okay)
Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
So drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore. (I don't care)
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore. (they don't care)
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
'Cos ev'ry day (everyday)
I'm feeling fine with myself (I'm feeling fine with myself)
And I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
Hey I'll do alright by myself (I'll be alright by myself)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)

And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore
Did you hear? I don't care no more

We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care
We don't care
We don't care (anymore)
We don't care
There's a wild streak in me
But it's only for u to see
Look to my heart, cause u know I'm ready to start
I guess I'm tryin to say, yes I've been waiting for this very day
Hope ur goin too slow, cause we're bout to shoot the sun a-glow
How do we make it, I do know
If there was ever a problem they had to go
Sometimes it's kinda hard yes I do agree
See 1 + u just equals me
They'll just watch us glow, they'll just watch us glow
Now in love something crazed ,
Exude from ur eyes when they are fixed on me & like the eternal flame,
We have a fire that won't ever stop burning
There's a power in numbers baby,
But 2 is deemed the perfect team
Me & u equals 2
We will battle the masses baby, but we will claim the victory
How do we make it, I do know
If there was ever a problem they had to go
Sometimes it's kinda hard yes I do agree
See 1 + u just equals me
They'll just watch us glow, they'll just watch us glow
Some said we would never change.
Look at us now people tried to tear it all apart,
Flashbacks of the last summer
It was hot and I was bored
I took a walk to the corner store
I was at the counter
And that's when you walked by
Holding your St. Ides
You just brushed right by my side
I swear I got butterflies
Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go
You make me come alive
Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Oh shit, there you go again
Speaking can't be a sin
So I fingered you over
Caesar n' tattooed shoulders
Girls know your name badly
But to me you're my daddy
Though you only shook my hand
Could have sworn you held me
Yeah Yeah
Ooh you make my body go

The thought of sex is soaring
Like a plane

But instead you're acting scared
Don't be afraid of me
Let's not be cowardly
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Is it my girls 'round me
Or is my job heavy
Come baby talk to me
Maybe from caught out there
Don't tell me it's my hair
Come on now let's play fair
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Instead I get Mr. crazy

With the guts to say to me
He thinks that him n' me
Should go and have babies
(Yeah right)
I wish you'd come and save me
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
You were talkin' to that woman
Like you could show her somethin'
And I didn't know what to do
You pulled out your pen and paper
And I know it your number you gave her
I never thought this bad dream would come true
Baby I want you to know
The suburbs to the ghetto
Joy is joy and pain is pain...pain
One day sooner than you know
We'll be livin' tomorrow
And we'll be laughin' about today...today
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
You were talkin' to your boys
And though y'all didn't make noise
You tapped him and you pointed at this woman
Then she turned around
As if she'd been found
And all I know my heart started jumpin'
Baby I want you to know
The suburbs to the ghetto
Joy is joy and pain is pain...pain
One day sooner than you know
We'll be livin' tomorrow
And we'll be laughin' about today...today
Maybe tomorrow...Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow...Maybe tomorrow
Beautiful baby don't you know you mean the world to me
The moon would lose the sky if you don't stay
Did I ever tell you that you were my sunshine?
So basically if you leave, there is no day
Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood
And I seen somethin'
And it hurt me
Instead of scorin' high in college
We're scorin' high in gargabe
And not rememberin' who we are
And not to mention...forgettin' who God is
Don't know that you're special
And God will never forget you
The world is used, watch what you do with it
Baby I want you to know
The suburbs to the ghetto
Joy is joy and pain is pain...pain
One day sooner than you know
We'll be livin' tomorrow
And we'll be laughin' about today...today
Maybe tomorrow...Maybe tomorrow
I'm not really on a hustle
But I must admit I still enjoy the grind
Now traffic doesn't bother me at all
'Cause for once I'm not racing time
Questions I used to ask myself
Answers I needed now
Problems seem so unsolveable
But nothing much bothers me now
Nothing bothers me at all
I'm falling down again
But it seems this time I can't break my fall
But if I hurt myself I'll put my band-aid on
And I'll fall, fall again
Questions I used to ask myself
Answers I needed now
Problems seem so unsolveable
But nothing much bothers me now
Nothing bothers me at all
Nothing's perfect
But today is close as it will ever ever be
Making songs is hard when your happy
No one wants to hear about your lovely, lovely days
But why should I be bothered at all
When everyday I have a ball
Why should I care what you think about my songs
Why would I be bothered by the things you say at all
Told my manager
I had nothing scandalous to say
Told my publicist, "Note this, OK?"
Leave me by the beach today
So I can feel the breeze
And watch the children play
So why would I be bothered at all
When everyday I have a ball
Why should I care what you think about my songs
Why would I be bothered by the things you say at all
No meetings or phone calls
They only plan to catch you
All the words I see
Flying up above of me
Hope they have a very, very, very, very, very
...Let's go...
I've been lovin' u for here long knowin' I was never clear
But I have no fear today cause I'm gonna say
What I gotta say, I don't wanna play the role
Bustin' through the door, I'm gonna take ur heart fo' sure, oh
Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
I'm gonna play my cards from here
And take this gamble sure
My words are gonna fumble, but this beat is mighty humble
Ain't goin nowhere, sure I'm scared but my life's a dare
And baby u just got so much flare, we'll be the perfect pair
I'm gonna share my mind with u, u've been blinded
My life's been blue, I'm takin u, I'm takin u
Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
When I first met u, I wanted to wet u
Not a gun but a different content, sexual
U tried to run, I still get u
Steel metal not needed, a whole 'nother meaning
Don't want ur gold, want ur soul
Control ur heartbeatin, cause when I start squeezin that muscle
That's the trigger, than I got u nigga, in ya
Chopper spinners, got ur bodyguards wit cha
Diamond dog tag chain swingin, I had them thangs ringin
This is a robbery, no one's gettin free
Till that man, he comes with me
Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up

See I never sugar coat any life lessons for you
'Cause I wanna make you equipped for the best
And I can't always be here to rescue you when life gets crazy

Hey whatcha know
Outside of the beastie boys show
Saw that kid that tried to get with me
He said by the way where ya been
Are you still wit that boyfriend
I said no with an evil grin
Wanna hook up but i thought again
Meet him on the train one day
When I was wrapped in pain
He said I love you
In more ways than I've ever heard
And before I got his name I thought it might be ok
To use for service to take some pain away
I know guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope boy fresh in all your clothes
Want that girl where anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
Hey whats the deal
I'll let you know if things get ill
Can't hook up when you call the shots with me
But ya got things that i'd like to see
Soft porn doesnt do it for me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me
And one day on the train
I'd never leave my man stray
I don't deserve this
In more ways than I've ever heard
But instead of bein scared
His words just went straight to me head
And I got nervous and left my love away
I know guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope boy fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game

Yo, wake up, wake up
Ghetto children
Wake up, wake up
Ghetto children
Wake up, wake up
Ghetto children
Wake up, wake up
Ghetto children
Wake up, wake up
Hey, hey
You're a ghetto boy
You're my life
And there's so much for you to protect and to save
And baby boy don't hit your wife
Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way, yeah
You don't know what you may be
To some boy in society
There's a secret to why
(There's a secret)
You must survive
So listen to what we say
Cause this type of shit happens every day
- [Kelis & Marc Dorsey]
Come for yours cause dreams come true
And this is the message that we bring through
Say hey now, hey now, now
Hey now, hey now
No matter what teachers say to you
Ghetto children are beautiful
Say hey now, hey now, now
Hey now, hey now
Baby girl you're my life
It's important that you smile
And never cry
(Don't never cry)
Study math and your sciences
Maybe you'll figure why we subtract and not multiply
You don't know what you may be
To some girl in society
There's a secret to why
We must survive
So listen to what we say
Cause this type of shit happens every day
Crack town ghetto in the city
Buildings are abandoned but the girls are still pretty
A child looks in the mirror
Yeah to see my life clearer
All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black coke gram
Nine eleven course
Of course 911 don't mean help
The only ones that need help is them sons without wealth
It's apparent that this nation they don't know what they facing
Young natural born killers and these street corner masons
You want that type of money that you see in the mob cliques
With your stashes in the drawers
Yes with the lumps under my carpet
Listen to your heart
Why should I listen to you?
I was here from the start
But you don't bring no money through
Look I only feel capes
And to get it I kill Jakes
By the time I'm 20 wanna be the ghetto Bill Gates
You a wannabe an angel
That was in my brain too
Now the only Star Spangle's coming out my Cango
Now that I'm out it's like the whole world flames you
Although the ghetto's nothing like the conclusion I came to
Your friends see you playing both sides
Now they don't claim you
Ghetto children change the world
Don't let the world change you, come on word
Little children wanna seem part of
The whole world wants to be apart of
A little ghetto things, a little ghetto things
Ay yo, ay yo
Little children wanna seem part of
The whole world wants to be apart of
Don't need no paper
Don't need no pencils
Don't need no love letters
'Cause I just wanna get along with you
No beeper
Don't need no cellular
Though Digital's better, listen
I just wanna get along with you
Try me 'cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I'm forced to roam this planet
Sadly, lonely like some used briget
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you
Don't need no car
Don't need no truck
Don't need no vehicles
'Cause I just wanna get along with you
No planes
Don't need no trains
Don't need to be passenger
'Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me 'cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I'm forced to roam this planet
Sadly, lonely like some used briget
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you
Don't need these clothes
Don't need this house
Don't need this land or skies
'Cause I just wanna get along with you
These eyes
Don't need these thighs
As a matter of fact this damn life
'Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me 'cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I'm forced to roam this planet
Sadly, lonely like some used briget
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you
Dear diary
I remember like it was yesterday
It was October 30th
I no longer have any need for these worldly things
I wanna go where he is
I'll follow the fire in the sky
And like that I'll be gone
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
I'm not ashamed of winning
But it wasn't that way in the beginning
It was this way
It was kiss me
Come kick me and diss me
I had to give it up
Now it's a way different feeling
You took my soul I had to steer it back
Now it's this way
Now it's with me
No mistake just listen
I had to give a **
All of this pain you had given
It's just a reminder of livin
It was crazy, had a baby
He's amazin, he saved me
And this time it's just us
You raised up, I can say that
I was too young, I'll never get that back
Now it's this way
Now it's flipped babe
I'm happy, just listen
I had to give a **
[Chorus]
I was super cool
But now I'm super strong
I had nothing to loose
But I was super wrong
It was the circumstance
I got the power from
I was super tough
But now I'm super strong
Super strong
I'm a braveheart
I'm a braveheart
I'm a braveheart
So come and pin my purple heart
Come and pin my purple heart
Come and pin my purple heart
I didn't run
Hey ya.
You don't have to love me
You don't even have to like me
But you will respect me
You know why?
Cuz I'm a boss!
Uh uh... watch the beat go...
Uh uh... watch the beat go...
Uh uh... watch the beat go...
Uh uh... watch that beat go...
I'm bossy
I'm the first girl to scream on a track
I switched up the beat of the drum
That's right, I brought all the boys to the yard
And that's right, I'm the one that's tattooed on his arm
I'm bossy
I'm the bitch you love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the stake
I told young stunna he should switch to Bape
I'm back with an 808 'cause I'm bossy
Ooh, lemme slow it down for ya so you can catch the flow (catch the flow)
Screw it up make it go extra slow (extra slow)
Real girls get down on the flo' (on the flo' get down, on the flo')
Ooh, I gave you a taste you want some more (touch down)
On it like a pro
I ride the beat like a bicycle, I'm icy cold
Ooh, from the 6-4 hoppers up in crenshaw
The money making playas up in Harlem

Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill
Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill
Ooh, (I bet, I bet) I bet cha neva heard it like this before (this before)
My baby be cruising them phantom doors (phantom doors)
Got the bar popping this that you can't afford (can't afford)
Ooh, I'm drinking, blasting the crowds, it's all smoking
All the while I'm all open
Me and my girls we stay fly and we love to stay high
Ooh, from the 6-4 hoppers up in crenshaw
To the money making playas up in Harlem
Don't want no problems
We gon' keep it bumping while the 808 is jumping
Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill
Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill
It's 'bout time that she get with me
Can't stop staring, she's fine and she's pretty
Damn girl, don't hurt 'em

Put your mack down, I know your background
What chu want girl, you getting mad now
That's how you do it, huh?

In fact, it's in the back bring 'em to the front (bitch)
Tell that man you's a boss, bitch

I don't think he understands you's a boss, bitch
Get some help if you can 'cause he lost it

I was walking, was living
My melody was acapella
There’s a beat I was missing
No tune, or a scale, I could play
The sound in the distance
No orchestra playing together
Like a boat out to sea,
The silence was too deafening!
So come and revive me
I can’t feel my heartbeat
Just me surviving alone
(Chorus)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing
Everything was the same
One color was just like the others
An assembly routine
My memories were all black and white
Till I stopped over-thinking
Decided to draw back the curtains
And I cleared all the cobwebs
And began to let in the light
So come and revive me
I can’t feel my heartbeat
Just me surviving alone
(Chorus)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing
(Bridge – 3X)
You are the drum in my heart beat
Bass and guitar lead
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on
Grab like a crayon
I can’t walk away
(Chorus – 2X)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony’s
When I first met you
You stood by my side
And when you asked me to be yours
You made me cry
And so I was prepared
To take all the blows at the chin
But you never mentioned cheating
Please tell me what happened
What makes you think?
You get away with that
Talking to my best friend
Behind my back
Look what you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful loss
Wouldn't you agree?
She introduced me to you
Said you were just friends
She assured me you were the one
For me until the end
Now I should have known
By the magic between you two
That angel faces like yours
Can lie too, can lie too
Look what you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful loss
Wouldn't you agree?
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
When I see my friends
They've got to know
I not only lost a friend
But now my heart's about to explode
Now there's something I'd like
To say before I make my outro
(Oh God) Oh God
(Do you see that?)
Did you see that?
(There they go)
There they go
Why would you do this to me? (Yeah)
You can't lie in my face
(I thought you were my best friend, yeah)
Behind my back
Look at what you've do to me
(How could you do this to me?)
Can't believe what you've done to me
(How could you do this to me?)
Wouldn't you agree, yeah
(This can not be, he was my friend)

Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Oh baby, I'm runnin' on metal plates
Oh baby, I'm never gonna walk away
Even though we runnin' on metal plates
Oh baby, I'm runnin' on metal plates
My tank is all empty, but my heart is filled with fuel (I'm serious, oh, i'm serious)
I never run from nothing, but I'm running straight to you (I'm serious, i'm serious)
And I don't have no plans on coming back soon (I'm serious, i'm serious)
I know you scared, but they're coming on soon (It's serious, oh, serious)
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Oh baby, I'm running on metal plates
Oh baby, someday we'll see better days
Oh, we'll be running on metal plates
Oh, we'll be running on metal plates
Ridin' shot gun baby
Keep on through
Emergency break off, pedal to the floor
We gonna move
Movin' fast hit the gas, crash
We gonna move
And remember the wheels fall off
Carry me through
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
Till them wheels fall off
I woke up this mornin' and seen somethin' bright
Was that you?
Then I heard a voice
Sound like birds outside
Was that you?
(Shu-sugar-sugar honey ice-ice-tea)
But I bet you didn't know
You're my sugar honey iced tea, baby
You're just as sweet as can be
Your momma must be made of sugar
Your daddy makes honey
And that's what makes sense to me, oh!
(Shu-sugar-sugar honey ice-ice-tea)
Not sure if I was dreamin' of you and I
Was that true? Oh, I don't know
Smilin' and squeezin' in the bluest sky
Wasn't that true?
(Shu-sugar-sugar honey ice-ice-tea)
But I bet you didn't know
You're my sugar honey iced tea, baby
You're just as sweet as can be
Your momma must be made of sugar
Your daddy makes honey
And that's what makes sense to me, oh!
(Shu-sugar-sugar honey ice-ice-tea)
Open my arms
See my love's a window, it's open for you
Not to hurt you
Actually reverse effects like that in a Tide commercial
We'll be blowin' free in the wind
It's a sunny day, I sip your love and grin
(Shu-sugar-sugar honey ice-ice-tea)
(Hold it now...Hold it now)
Two steps to my love, baby
Two steps to my love
(Hold it now)
But I bet you didn't know
You're my sugar honey iced tea, baby
You're just as sweet as can be
Your momma must be made of sugar
Your daddy makes honey
And that's what makes sense to me, oh!
Open my arms
See my love's a window, it's open for you
Not to hurt you
Actually reverse effects like that in a Tide commercial
We'll be blowin' free in the wind
It's a sunny day, I sip your love and grin
(Hold it now...H-Hold it now)
Earth to your brain
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, Houston I think we have a problem
Yo, yo, I think we have a problem
Yo, yo, we have a problem
Yo, yo
Days, you know those days
When everyone seems to aggravate you
Unfazed, fucked up ways
Don't try to ignore, you know that it's true
See you say to yourself that you really don't wanna deal
And this day to day action on Earth just don't appeal
You know how hard you try
You've been known to take so much
They shoot at you cause you're fine
Bite the bullet I know that it sucks
If security's thin then faith will pull you through
If you still angry follow me
And do what I do
- Do you hear what I'm talking 'bout?
Do you hear we can conquer the world?
Got this whole world running from
This love between a boy and a girl
They're afraid of this chemistry
Plus the speed of light of laser guns
They go
To the light in every one
There you want some friends
Seems like everybody has friends
Depends on what you call friends
You don't really care you just want one
It's a person full of feelings but nobody's there
But you have to ask yourself if they were
Would they really care?
They do bullshit some times
They do the things that you've done
They're people just like you
But tell me do you really want one
98 percent of faith won't follow through
Don't you know real magic comes from the other two?
It was last week we were watching TV
My boyfriend wanted to watch channel three
Then he started to freak
The news flash came on then
So I said hey, my popcorn's burning
Hey, why is the channel turning?
Hey, that was NASA what did they want
Hey, yo just pass the blunt
I was so high that I didn't realize what they said
Plus my eye vision fried
If it's not then it's messing with my head
Hey, you can't be serious
Hey, but I need my contacts
Hey, float and spin
Hey, so I turned and I said, shit
- Do you hear what they talking 'bout?
About to send your black ass to Mars
That's exactly what I'm talkin' bout
Money, science, space, and mars
Till someday you got that million
Just because you've been hanging with stars
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
And send your black ass to Mars
Yo, yo, yoooo
Yo, nigga-nigga, yo
Yoooo
Yo, Star Track, yo, yoooo (ha-ha)
Yo, Kelis, yo, Neptunes, yoooo
Earth to your brain, yoooo
UFO, who knows?
Earth to your brain
What is it already closed?
Somebody made me an offer and I accepted
Forever in debted to weapon
Love, honor, and respected
But his image was different than what his character reflected
Word is he's seven-thirty his hands never dirty
All I know this so called psycho never hurt me
Took me down to Tif's, shopping sprees on Fifth
With enough dough that could be carry out on forklifts
Earnt his trust, together till we turn to dust
Until his theory disintegrated and burnt to crust
What? What?
Death do us apart
That's what I vow to you
The vows I vow to you
Amazing how it's true
Talk goes on our phone
Just to remind you
That I'm behind you
The FEDS won't find you
- Relax my love
The love I have for you is like the Mafia
For you I'd testify
I'd lie for you of course
Since my love is like the Mafia
And for you I will fight
Mister and Misses, but I wonder where the bliss is
Sealed in blood and Cordion kisses
The shit I witnessed
Would give a bitch morning sickness
Decomposed bodies thrown in the ditches
As for snitches ain't nothing lower than that
Intentions to squeal on your fam make you low as a rat
Got cappos for flaming at those
Lame ass hoes, so you know next time keep your trap close
What would you doubt for?
I'd never lie to you
Of course I'd die for you
I'd be your eye for you
My love rest assured
I'll raise our sons for you
I'll save our ones for you
Load up your guns for you
Riches, tradition niggas once held dear
Let it be known that your name alone spell fear
Gun for gun, hundred to one forget about it
Petty shit, rise above and get up out it
Could give a shit about it
Time to focus a foe
Many lives bought and sold
Fortunes favor the bold
Connected like phone lines
To racketeering to known crimes
Winners turning long shots to gold mines
The high speed chases
I'll do them just like you
I'll give them dust like you
Turn around and bust like you
Then I'll disappear,
And return like Jedi
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than your's
I could teach you but I have to charge
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

You must maintain your charm
Same time maintain your halo
Just get the perfect blend
Plus what you have within
Then next his eyes will squint
Then he's picked up your scent

You’re the only one I ever really loved (you’re the man above)
I’ve been conquered and lovin’ to you
You know all the real things I’ve been through, yeah
You rescue me when everyone has let me down
Like a soldier, you protect me from what’s goin’ down
But you better remember - talk to me like a lady
I know that you ain’t crazy
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Runnin’ in the streets, you are the man
But when you come home, respect who I am
Keep it gangsta ‘cause you 1ne on the block
But when you step inside the door, give the key to your heart
I’m not tryna wear the pants, they fit you right
But I’m your wife so in these hands, you put your life
Hold me like your baby, treat me like your lady
‘Cause I know you ain’t crazy
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Just hold me close - I love you near
One look at you and I see so clear
The reason you won’t let me down
‘Cause I feel you in my heart
It’s like I’m floatin’ way up off the ground
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
Don’t take my kindness for weakness (appreciate me)
