In business, economics or investment, market liquidity is an asset's ability to be sold without causing a significant movement in the price and with minimum loss of value. Money, or cash, is the most liquid asset, and can be used immediately to perform economic actions like buying, selling, or paying debt, meeting immediate wants and needs. However, currencies, even major currencies, can suffer loss of market liquidity in large liquidation events. For instance, scenarios considering a major dump of US dollar bonds by China or Saudi Arabia or Japan, each of which holds trillions in such bonds, would certainly affect the market liquidity of the US dollar and US dollar denominated assets. There is no asset whatsoever that can be sold with no effect on the market.
An act of exchange of a less liquid asset with a more liquid asset is called liquidation. Liquidity also refers both to a business's ability to meet its payment obligations, in terms of possessing sufficient liquid assets, and to such assets themselves.
In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
Woke up, got up, near eleven o'clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that's cool, 'cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch look around this mess
my place has been a cage since she left me
make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee
then dip to the bathroom, begin the triple-s
and wash the previous evening off me
now out the shower, get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear
well, what do we have here?
it appears as if a piece of me has got motivation
ain't nothin' wrong with a little morning masturbation
fresh, dressed like fifty cents
clean and awake now I'm ready to commence
spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
and that's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
and I write for an hour, maybe half hour more
then put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
put my headphones on for this world I ignore
trek down the street towards the record store
"hey, bro - how you doing, anything new today?"
"nah man, how you been? it's the same old same again"
well, then I'll be gone, friend, I'll see you around
then I'm out, destination uptown
in the summertime the women wear a lot of skin
and if I sit in one spot I can take 'em all in
sometimes I even talk, to see if I can make one grin
if not, yo, it's cool I ain't gonna take it personally
from Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of them just can't stand me
I don't know, maybe it's my hair or my clothes
"...or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in you're nose..."
either way it's okay, I wasn't tryin' to get laid
I just wanted to say "I hope you have a great day"
and then she stopped with a smile that began to blush
"here, take my number, call me up, I'll come over and make you lunch"
I got up and headed down towards the book store
to check the titles, that my man Michael's got me lookin' for
my visit was short, 'cause I just couldn't feel
that cat behind the counter actin' like I'm here to steal
so I dipped back out into a cloud of tattoos
pierced body parts and colorful hairdos
and I questioned, did Babylon resemble this?
are we getting any closer to the end of the list?
a sensuous kiss, placed on apoco-lips
we teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist
and I'm wondering how'd we find this position
but people are people and I still love 'em, especially the women
onwards to the coffee shop, maybe Muddies for a refill and some
sociological studies
see the junkies, while they co-exist with the sobers
all the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders
and that's when I saw her, sippin' on water
I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter
excuse me miss, I don't mean to come across strong
but I've been waitin' a while and you've been taking too long
and she smiled and I began to blush
she asked if I'd like to go to the bathroom and make some love
and I got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed
and that's the very moment I woke up from the dream
Woke up, got up, near eleven o'clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that's cool, 'cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch and look for my soul
In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow I see no promise
Ladies and gentlemen
You are now tuned in to the very best
Phizzle
T.I.
Dream
(T.I.)
Long hair, cute face
Big booty, thin waste
Breasts so pretty they can't be real

She'll play
With her girlfriend, tag team on the sex, I give away
Get 'em on Patron, for real they
Both gon' have a field day
Never had experience
Gorgeous but they curious
So gorgeous and so serious
I'm panty pumpin' number one, I'm serious
I'm talkin fast cars, bright lights
Big city long nights
Pretty women on site

He don't really stand up
And that stuff that like he supposed to, all he do is handcuff
So she come see me relax
Give me love, recieve it back
Sex her, stetch her body out so much, she say I needed that
I'm talkin' prime time pornstar
Goin' hard goin in

Invite a friend to join in
I'm talkin fast cars, bright lights
Big city, long nights
Pretty women on site

(Chorus) (T.I. with The Dream)
It had bright lights
Rollin' through the city in that M6

[Verse 3:]
Catch me in the old school, new school
Vert drop hard top
See me and at least 2 freaks pulled over in the parkin' lot
Engaged in conversation yo and listenin' to the radio
Give it to em ruff, they say but treat 'em like a lady though
She never kissed a girl befo'
But fantasized 'bout girls befo'
Imagine havin sex with women, just don't want the world to know
I'm talkin fast cars, bright lights
Big city, long nights
Pretty women on site
I give it to em all night
(Chorus) (T.I. with The Dream)
It had bright lights
Rollin' through the city in that M6
Every other radio station
Playin my, oh
In a minute she gon' be rite up on my...
And Oooo
She ain't had none in a minute so I'm really finna put it on you
Just got a text from your man, no he mad, he ain't got a clue
You know it
He can't love you like I do
He can't do it like (I do)
He can't do it like (I do)
He can't do it like (I do)
So go shawty, twerk that, bump it and work that (I do)
He can't do it like (I do)
You know he can't do it like (I do)
He can't do it like (I do)
No sense at all
do what you want
you will obey
For I will hunt you
Until you will be
Locked away
just so you'll be
scared of me
Behind my power
I will hide all my fears
Now you are punished
For absolutely nothing
And I feel so good
Because once more
I don't have to be honest
With myself
While you're locked away
Just so you'll be
scared of me
behind my power
I will hide all my fears
No sense at all
do what you want
for I will hunt you
Untill you will be
Locked away
just so what you'll
be scred of me
Behind my power
I will hide all my fears
Right now you are punished
for absolutely nothing
And I feel so good
Because once more
I don't have to be honest
With myself
While you're locked away
Just so you'll
be scared of me
behind my power
I will hide al my fears
It is fierce and it moves slow
He told me sweet lies of sweet love
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungrey for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As i reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
i'm not angry I'm through being mad,
i'm done feeling sorry after you hurt me so bad:
Don't try thinking about me cause i'm already gone.
not saying that I'm right just telling you you're wrong.
Keeping to myself or am i really locked away?
a childhood of scars i bear that make me fell this way.
don't relate to people that don't relate to me.
paste the point of anger,
when will you take me seriously?
people used to laugh don't want to be like them
people who i trust and used to call my friends.
things are so much easier now your agony is gone.
sometimes you just don't know you are right
because someone else is wrong.
It's not a matter of foolish pride that won't let me forgive you.
it's the hatred that i feel inside for trusting you.
someday i'm gonna break away.
Somebody better tell these dumb hoes somethin
Cuz when I roll thorugh I ain't gone say nothin
Ain't shit to talk about
Cuz I can do without the souljah hatin
Them hoes is jealous of my fame and the money that I'm making
Got they heads aching
So they acting like they got beef
Knowin damn well if htey see me they gone speak
I'm Mama I'm respected y'all know this
But shits gone really get hectic
If y'all don't stop slow this ??? down now
The issue ain't who I'm loving or fucking
The big issue's billboard cuz I'm on top of it
The issue is I got my kids up out the projects
And bought my moms a new house
Before my second album came out
Respect my mind
I took my grandparents out the hood
I'm seein to it that their golden years be all good
So bestill the fact that I ain't selfish or greedy
Ask my people am I there when they need me
Like dat
[Chorus:]
I'ma leave you hoes in the same place
No progess
Talkin bullshit while I elevate
And I'ma keep looking out for the real
But I don't give a FUCK how the rest of y'all feel
And I'ma keep on learning the game
And I encourage all the my souljahz to do the same
I come in peace and I try to pack fair
But if you want to I will take you there
Like dat
Now I don't owe a motherfucker a god damn thing
And I earned the right to be the biggest mama on the tank
I sacrified beaucoup
Put in so much work
Kept it TRU cuz I'm TRU
And represented my turf
Downtown seven ward hard head
Ya heard
Around a gang of uptown niggaz
Straight screamin the third
Been bout it
Been rowdy
Been throwin for mines
It was just me and Jill on the scandalous rides
No hip hop lines to make me sound hard
It ain't no act
It's a fact
When it's on I go off
But as God as my witness
I love being nice
Until this playa setting in my household was right
I like to just be me
While you be with your knot
I'm trying to stay on top with TRU niggaz fo sho
And we extend our hands to pull up more
Like dat
* send corrections to the typist
(Girl talking Spanish)
How come you always trippin
I see you like that, the way I call your name
When I tell you shit is real you know it ain't a game
No pretending, always breakin up and mending
We gon' kill each other before this shit we got is ending
Yea you like that, when I pull up on them dubs
And everytime playas see me all I get is love
Hugs and kisses from all my little bitches
They give you much respect cause they know you the misses
Yea you like that, in the mall spending chips
Nothin but Gucci and Donna Karen on your hips
Smile on your lips while I'm kissin on your titty nips
Watch the sunrise, smoke a blunt and take a skinny dip
At first I be's with you
Started pleasin you
Whole world you never knew
You'd ever see LIKE DAT
Your personality
And sexuality
Will keep you right next to me
For eternity LIKE DAT
Yea you like that, a real nigga on your team
No schemes, and it ain't all about a niggas cream
Where dreams and all kinds of freaky little things
Always in public trying to make a big scene
You you like that, think you hard as a statue
Keep running your mouth until you make a nigga snatch you
Look at you, how a nigga like me attract you
Mack you, then attack the gat too
Yea you like that, give it to me anywhere
Five skully in the movie theater pullin on your hair
I'm aware, your girls say I'm nothing but a dog
They mad cause I give you all that shit you say you want
I know you like that, and that's the way it's gon' be
Haters bumpin always got to say some fly shit see
Shorty down we don't worry bout he say drama
I'm gon' be your big poppa and you gon' be my lil' momma
(Girl talking Spanish)
(Chorus)
I know you like that flippin through the city at night
Lightin 'dro gettin tight tropical on ice
Who the realest in your life I know the answer to that
The same nigga spittin this and as a matter of fact
Remember back when we first met, incredible sex
Sometimes edible sex and unforgettable sex
Ice on your finger, not for marriage or nothing
You the shit when it come to pushin all my buttons
Yea you like that, time out take a trip
Fuck a reservation grab your coat and just dip
No alarm clock, sleeping all afternoon
Shrimps and steak without leaving the room
I know you like that even when your ass get mad
Forehead wrinklin', thinkin' you could beat my ass
Baby girl, slow your role, just let it go
And we ain't got to talk about that shit no more
(Girl talking Spanish)
(Chorus)
LIKE DAT
LIKE DAT
LIKE DAT
LIKE DAT
LIKE DAT
LIKE DAT
Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you like I did
Spend their time doing for you, like I did
And be there when you say I need you, like I did
Now this I can't believe
Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you like I did
Take all this foolishness from you like I did
See if she doesn't she will leave you like I did
Then don't come runnin' to me
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
'Cause you hurt me
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to leave
Now when you realize you really had a good thing, like you did
Then you'll realize you dogged me, like you did
Wished you never though of cheating like you did
Maybe then you'll see
It wasn't cool breaking promises to me like you did
Had no reason to deny me, like you did
Had no shame, you still lied to me like you did
Now it's easy to leave
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
'Cause you hurt me
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to leave
No matter what you do
Don't care what you say, gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with this choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
Well I was a young son of a gun, I was barely 17
Well she was 25 and to my surprise did she ever make a
man out of me
Because the next thing I knew we was back in the woods
And we were under the old moonlight
And she was showing me what God was given her
Under that dress so tight
Well my heart started pounding
And my knees got weak
I couldn't say a word
I could barely speak
I started to stutter
Say Love ya, I-I love ya do
Dance with me slowly
Show me a step or two
Mama always warned me about girls like you
But I like ya, I do I do
Well the years gone by and I'm 29
And I'm the leader of a rockin' band
We are having a ball at the VFW hall
We're doing a one night stand
When out on the floor just a strutted a girl
Started shaking right in front of the stage
Drummer couldn't keep time
About lost my mind as she planted one right on my face
My heart started pumping
Head started to spin
I'll rock your world
She said with a grin
Lord have mercy
What's this poor boy to do
Dance with me slowly
Show me a step or two
Mama always warned me about girls like you
But I like ya, I do I do
(Uh-oh I feel a cold shower comin on)
I must be dreaming
Please let it be true
Right outta me, right outta you??
She kissed me once
I kissed my heart goodbye
Dance with me slowly
Teach me a step or two
You show me a little then I'll show you
Show me baby
Dance with me slowly
You show me a step or two
My Mama always warned me about girls like you
He told me sweet lies of sweet love
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungrey for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As i reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
She swears, that I'm the only one
What about yesterday, yeah
Oh! I'd like to believe
Somehow I still suspect
Locked away
She ought to be locked away
She ought to be locked away
My mind is racing
Footsteps lead me to jealousy
I'm loosing my grip
I can't trust the way I feel
Locked away
I ought to be locked away
I ought to be locked away
My friends say that you're friends say, Ooh
That I ain't worth your time
I know what you must hear
Don't let it interfere
Locked away
They ought to be locked away
They ought to be locked away
Locked away
We can't do anything
Any trick in the book
We can't go anywhere
All long as we care
We ought to be locked away
We ought to be locked away
Look past all I've been before
I'm longing, pleading for so much more.
Do you see me on this cliff afraid?
Waiting, praying, come and take away the pain?
Chorus:
Locked away in these chains I need to find myself.
Trust today I will fade if I don't find myself.
Without you I've morphed into a lesser me.
Don't you see, all I need is You to find myself!
Set back clocks of wounded times.
I'm grasping, begging for one more try.
Do you see the possibilities?
Take me, break me, mold this new found me.
Locked away?
Come and free me?
Locked away?
Come and free me.

Did things he shouldn't have done
But now he really regrets
Walls around him, he knows he's never
gonna leave this room 'til he's fucking dead
So he's the fool he's gotta pay
For the faults in our society
No rehabilitation, just pain and disgust
If I could see me through your eyes
Would I have a rude awakening
Maybe look at someone I could fall in love with
Tell me what do you see
Imagine that I'd be a book
Would you like to read my pages
Would you judge me by the content or the cover
Please be honest to me
Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you
If I could hear me through your ears
Would I know the deeper meaning
Of my words and would I understand the silence
If that be nothing to say
Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you
Oh how I'd love to be in your shoes, for ones
Then I know if you feel love the same way as I do
But you don't show your feelings at all
Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you
Oh Baby please I need to know...

I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that. (Yeah yeah)
They say money rule the world, Well I'm a hundred dollar bill.
An I'm just look-in for a subtle spot ta chill.
Niggaz crazy, Thinkin bout today an not tomorrow.
Hope they never have to borrow out here frontin like they.
(Made it like that)
But I don't stress 'em I just keep pressin along.
If I ain't got no rellos then case got the bong.
An, Let me take one to the face then I'm gone.
I got these Louie's on my face for the sun cause I.
(Made it like that)
Everything I got I took it look at what we did.
Passin out tapes at school ta out a town paid gigs.
Even older bitches want the kid like I'm Taye Diggs.
Givin' ho's they groove back all I here is Hayyyy Chip.
Hay bitches how ya doin
And they flock to 'em cause they know he won't pursue it.
Just do it if you want it an don't stop until you there.
Damn Chip you poppin' everywhere, That's cause I.
I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that.
I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that.
I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that.
I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that. (Yup)
Coming to you live from the jungle full of pride.
And drugs, Many lives taken from under these lights.
Where them Nike air flights been roamin out plenty nights.
It was a whole lotta shots n not to many fights.
We was young keepin up with then niggaz who was hatin.
Nobody gave us nathin we we just had to take it.
Now, Lil Stakes just got 38, better smarten up.
Lil John goin off, Yeah we got some problems bru.
Pray an ask the lord ta stay, Give me just another day.
An if I die before I wake tell my niggaz split my cake.
Yeah just like 50 say cause I can't take it anyway.
We livin in a different day and yesterday ain't shit today.
So what I gotta git today is paper in a different way.
Condo fuck a crib cause hey ya window just a brick away.
Followed by you fill in the blank wile I just slide on by.
Up in 216 bout to catch a flight to 909.
I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that.
There's a wall that stands between us
Something niether one of us can see
Protection from the world outside
And most of all from me.
Years of torture and deceit
Have made your fortress strong
Maybe all are out to harm you
Just as you are never wrong.
You doubted my intentions
Left me graplling with fear
My words were not sincere enough
For your hardened heart to hear.
Thousand miles may lay between us
May as well be down the hall
You close out all around you
So no one's near at all.
Set me free
I've no faith in anything I see
Look at what you've down with your dishonesty
Leave me be
I don't need your callous sympathy
For I'm not as weak as I appear to be.
Maybe things were different
Though nothing's changed at all
Now my stregth is failing
Can't catch you when you fall
You have no need of me
And set out on your own
When the world comes down around you
You'll find yourself alone.
Years will come in silence
Only memories will remain
Peace will not come easy
A token of distain
So let your hope be silent
Though there's nothing there at all
Sleep will not come easy

Si je tenais la goutte d'eau
Qui a fait d?border l'orage
De la grisaille des nuages
Donnant quarante jours de pluie
Si je tenais la goutte d'eau
Je ferais de ce bled sans ombre
Une oasis unique au monde
Pour que la force lui soit en vie
Et en vertu de ce cadeau
J'inviterais Dieu ? ma table
Ainsi que la rose des sables
A partager cette eau de vie
Je servirais l'eau ? pleins seaux
Je d?salt?rerais la chance
Cette assoiff?e de jouissances
Qui donne au r?ve du g?nie
Si je tenais la goutte d'eau
Qui a fait d?border l'orage
Par la gargouille des nuages
Donnant quarante jours de pluie
Si je tenais la goutte d'eau
Les sentiers deviendraient des fleurs
Et je t'apporterais la preuve
Qu'un don du ciel ne se tarit
Mes fardeaux seraient des radeaux
Le futur vivrait sans histoire
Et je t'inviterais ? croire
Que l'avenir vient d'un berceau
Toi qui acceptes le combat
D'une existence difficile
Entre les fils et le reptile
O? l'abondance est hors la loi
Si je tenais la goutte d'eau
Les sources auraient leur sanctuaire
Pour rappeler que sur la Terre
L'eau aide ? faire de vieux os
Et si j'avais cette goutte d'eau
J'enracinerais l'esp?rance
Pour r?colter la providence
Et l'espoir de sauver ma peau
Car j'ai peur que le manque d'eau
Aggrave encore l'insupportable
Puisque la soif est indomptable
Et la p?nurie un fl?au
Quand l'horizon retiendra l'eau
Ma terre deviendra une ?le
Et ce bonheur sera utile
Pour sortir la t?te de l'eau
Et ce bonheur sera fertile
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
I cannot go through one more day like this
Each day getting harder I am worried
I am not me
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
I could have done things different but I am not
That kind of girl who stay in the same place
Stay numb
And who are you?
Making me confused
The only thing I could change in my life
Fade out
Like that
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
I cannot go through one more day like this
Each day getting harder I am worried
I am not me
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
I guess I didn't try to be strong enough
But I never thought I'll be your boring
Little wife
And who are you?
Making me confused
The only thing I could change in my life
Fade out
Like that
And who are you?
Making me confused
The only thing I could change in my life
Fade out
