The Bahamas i/bəˈhɑːməz/, officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a country consisting of more than 3,000 islands, cays, and islets. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and southeast of the United States (nearest to the state of Florida). Its land area is 13,939 km2 (5,382 sq mi), with a population of 353,658. Its capital is Nassau. Geographically, the Bahamas lie in the same island chain as Cuba, Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos Islands; the designation of Bahamas refers normally to the Commonwealth and not the geographic chain.
Originally inhabited by the Lucayans, a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people, the Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492. Although the Spanish never colonized the Bahamas, they shipped the native Lucayans to slavery in Hispaniola. The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 to 1648, when English colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera.

I sang loud
My voice cut through the crowd
As if I was anybody that might have something to say
Standing tall I seemed to know it all
But the only thing I know is that I've never known someone like you
I'm gonna figure out how it is
I got you
I got you babe
I held you
And I lost you
Time stood still
And I had my fill
Of all the things we did
And all the things we could have done
Looking back would you
Cut me some slack
For all the times I left you when I should have stayed right by your side
I'm gonna figure out how it is
I got you
I got you babe
I held you
Here I am back again.
And wishing now was then.
And I could write all the wrongs instead of writing songs.
It's you I think of now
And how I push it like a snow plow
You come racing through my mind
Was it me or you I left behind?
You gave me love so pure
But no love's for sure
I'm lost in the light
I pray for the night
To take me, to take me to
After so many words
Still nothing's heard
Don't know what we should do
So if someone can see me now, let them see you
It was my greatest thrill
But we just stood still
You let me hold your hand 'til I had my fill
Even countin' sheep
Don't help me sleep
I just toss and turn right there beside you
So if someone could help me now, they'd help you too.
They'd help you to
See you through
All the hard things we've all gotta do
'Cause this life is long
And so you wouldn't be wrong
Bein' free, leavin' me on my own
And I held my own
Still I rattled your bones
I said some awful things and I take them back
If we would try again
Just remember when
Before we were lovers, I swear we were friends
So if someone could see me now let them see you
Let them see you
See you through
All the hard things we've all gotta do
'Cause this life is long
So you wouldn't be wrong
Bein' free here with me on my own
I go there, i go there too
I go there, go there with you
The darkness, it paints me in
Into the corner you've been living in
You, go through
Oh, that pain
And you, go through
All that pain
All over again
Go through it all again, for good reason
I know you, you love you still
But your love can't be my only thrill
Our love's got, got such a start
It comes and goes and then comes back awhile
You, go through
Oh, that pain
And you, go through
All that pain
All over again
Tell me baby, tell me how could it be
After being with him you'd want someone like me
'Cause I know you don't love me
What's worse, you might love someone else
Take your time, take your time
You could have all the time in the world
If you'd only be mine
But I know you don't love me
What's worse, you might love someone else
When you remember me darling I hope it makes you smile
I love driving you crazy if only just for a while
But I know you don't love me
What's worse, you might love someone else
Yeah I know you don't love me
What's worse, you might love someone else
Quit sweet-talking honey 'cause it don't cut through
You could talk all night or when I see your tattoo
I know you don't love me
What's worse, you might love someone else
We both knew it then and we both could tell
I love only the flames, got no chance in Hell
I know you don't love me
I go there, i go there too
I go there, go there with you
The darkness, it paints me in
Into the corner you've been living in
You, go through
Oh, that pain
And you, go through
All that pain
All over again
Go through it all again, for good reason
I know you, you love you still
But your love can't be my only thrill
Our love's got, got such a start
It comes and goes and then comes back awhile
You, go through
Oh, that pain
And you, go through
All that pain
All over again
Go through it all again, for good reason
Bahamas Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland, March on to glory, your
bright banners waving high, See how the world marks the manner of your bearing;
Pledge to excel thro' love and unity. Pressing onward, march together, to a common
loftier goal; Steady sunward tho' the weather hide the wide and treacherous shoal.
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland, 'til the road you've trod lead unto
your God, March on Bahamaland.
I had it all and my breath held tight
She heard a call kept her up most night
And worst of all wondering what about us was ever right
I stayed at home dreamt of all we might be
Egypt and Rome, she saw all she could see
Then coming home wondering why she couldn't find me
Now measure time
To know what's mine
I'm turning around
I'm turning around
Turning on a dime
Done it before dropped it all and I ran
I slept on the shore woke up cold and tanned
I burst through the door like I was still, still your man
Now measure time
To know what's mine
I'm turning around
I'm turning around
Turning on a dime
I had it all
When I was a young boy, my mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she's probably in Tahiti
Or Maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue
We've been in a tropical moonlight night
'Cause nobody taught her 'bout you
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Why am i hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in a heat wave there
Hoping that i won't be long
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
Then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world
Lead me on, lead me on
Right now I just need something
You could be that one thing
So lead me on
Take me home, take me home
I'll be yours till the morning
Then leave without warning
So take me home
Call me please, call me please
I'll can't wait forever
You know better
So call me please
Leave me be, leave me be
You had your chance already
Someone else, I go steady
A man's man, some say that's what I am
They don't feel that way and I still do what I can
I try, I've tried, I'm still trying to make you see
If you can forget about him, you can forget about me
A rough start but we can make it last
If I can get over myself, you can get over your past
I try, I've tried, I'm still trying to make you see
If you can forget about him, you can forget about me
Some say I'm always set in my ways
That I ain't ever going to change
I don't mind that I don't change these days
I try, I've tried, I'm always trying to be true
You are bored and I am old
And there's something that's just not there
Neither one of us could care less or even love more
He lays down beside her
She gets up to go
Darling please forgive me
For loving that will learn to show
Yes I do want a ring
'Cause the years keep pushing on
All my other friends have gone
Now it's my turn
He lays down beside her
She gets up to yell
Now you're sleeping alone
And I hear wedding bells
I've been true all these years
You've been messing around
Now you're going to hear the sound of my heart breaking
He lays down beside her
His wife stays home and cries
This is going to be the reason that their love dies
Though there were men before me
That held you in their arms
With a love so hot and getting hotter
They're setting off fire alarms
Though their were girls before you
I remember their names
Ain't it a beautiful thing to watch our love, or season change
Every night when I lay you down, lay you down to sleep
You know, I'm thanking the lord for blessing you with hockey teeth
Though you might have a plan
Those plans are all in the past
Who among us could know
That our love would come and grow so very fast
Seems like we got in your car
And drove that car to the beach
And ever since that day,
Never very far away, or out of reach
Every night when I lay you down, lay you down to sleep
You know I'm thanking the lord for blessing you with hockey teeth
Every morning when we wake up and our lips meet
[Intro:]
I Hope ya'll enjoy ya'll stay here
Ridin' like I got a couple dollas in the grip
With my bahama mama (hey)
[Verse 1:]
Peep game in the turnin' lane
It's all good if you bring yo' friends
9 times out of 10 we rollin' up smokin' the wind and toastin' up cups
And hope for the win when the game's over and the fame's over
No HST Range Rovers girl Colgate brush yo' teeth for you never should've came over
Well that bad business
She tried kissin' on a nigga so I had to duck
I dashed on her I mashed on her
My drink fell down and splashed on her
Now fast forward I'm way liver
These niggas is ugly game spiders
I hate haters comin' from the 708 where I bring you that flavor
An' all that shit you sayin' we done heard before
You can't lie about who winnin' cause we know the score
She sippin' on M-O-S-C-A-T-O
She probably can't wait to go
Now I'm thinkin' bout the ratio
But she gettin' impatient though
[Hook: x2]
Ridin' like I got a couple dollas in the grip
With my bahama mama bout to take her on a trip
You can have the window
I can be your mentor
I can give you info
This what life was meant for
[Verse 2:]
I see clearer now since you been in my eyesight
An' I just wanna take you with me but most guys might
Just do the same blow the smoke when she want it
An' she comin' from outta town in the mornin' red eye flights
She on it
Damn she was on it ya'll
My phone got unlimited minutes but you my only call
Call me when you lonely I can cook you somethin' special if you hungry
And plus you know alot of girls want me
But you confident that you the one with vowels and consonants
You the whole alphabet
Every single country and continent that I've been to I ain't seen nothin' quite like you
You make a live nigga wanna write a haiku
You a good look, good cook wonderin' if yo' mama taught you that
Then we fine and I'll be done to bring you back from this vacation man, I took you on
Usually I'm right I could be wrong bout' you and me
But true indeed
We'll see
It's peace
[Hook: x2]
Ridin' like I got a couple dollas in the grip
With my bahama mama bout to take her on a trip
You can have the window
I can be your mentor
I can give you info
Is it really that much sweeter
On the other end of that receiver?
There's no need to convert a believer
I'm already yours
I'm already yours
Well I ain't that special someone
You should spend a night with a fun one
Someone who mates to become one
I'm already yours
I'm already yours
Well I always said don't mind me
But your love always seems to find me
It's always creeping up behind me
I was never yours
I cant be at your beckon call,
your love so slow and heavy,
its like a southern drawl
and it dont seem worth your time
if the two of us ain't one of a kind.
I wont be another turn
to gather up and use what you learn.
And of course he's always on your mind
you should hold him dear
leave his love behind
cause you cant call it moving on,
if all i do, is make you feel so wrong.
I wont be another turn
to gather up and use what you learn
If always a man might love,
loving to laugh to do and to give?
i know that it could take some time
Sunset sings the sweetest tune
Just the song he wrote for his true love in bloom
I held you dear since the dawn of time
You know it's true that for you I shine
Going up, you're coming down
I'm only hoping some day you'll turn around
Cause I'd be shining and then you'll see
Who could love you more than me?
How I wish you felt the same
I'm jealous of the wolves when they howl out your name
I send my love bouncing from star to star
So it can find you wherever you are
I'm going up, you're coming down
I'm only hoping some day you'll turn around
Cause I'd be shining and then you'll see
Who could love you more than me?
Ah who could love you more than me
In the deep dark corners of some dirty bar
The people find something that they're looking for
I can't be bothered to look that far
I got so much behind my own door
I got books and records and crossword puzzles and movies made for TV
I'm living now but I ain't loving yet and I need someone to share it all with me
So you can
Let the good times roll
Roll and pass me by
I may not feel old inside
Somebody help me
I can't do it on my own
You break your word, not enough
You end up breaking your back bone
I must have been dreaming
And dreamt you climbed into my bed
But in the morning I woke up
And the whole thing was in my head
Lonely love, lonely love
Might be forever
For all the better lonely loves
We could keep going
And let this get out of hand
It'd be nothing new
For me or for your boyfriend's band
Stone cold sober
But you still get me high
Go ahead, I could laugh with you all day
Make love to you all night
Lonely love, lonely love
Might be forever
For all the better lonely loves
But my lonely love, my lonely love,
Might be forever
