Who is the naughtiest child?
Who drives their French teacher wild?
And when he's telling you lies
He looks you straight in the eye
Got kicked in the side
In the side, it's the same again
Got kicked in the hide
Must be then, it was now and then
He's got the social disease
J-J-J-John!
Grass stains and cuts on his knees
J-J-J-John!
He won't listen to a word that you say
J-J-J-John!
He'll steal your daughters away
Got kicked in the side
In the side, it's the same again
Got kicked in the hide
Must be then, it was now and then
You took him home to meet your queen
You know you didn't want to, know you didn't want to
And lent him all your good CDs
You know you didn't want to, know you didn't want to
You said you were the only one
You know you didn't want to, know you didn't want to
They broke the mould for dear old John
You know you didn't want to, know you didn't want to
Got kicked in the side
In the side, it's the same again
Got kicked in the hide
Must be then, it was now and then
J-J-J-J-John
(I see Jesus standing waiting for me)
Once a man named Steven preached about the Lord
Folks were saved then folks were healed as they heard his word
Satan did not like it soon he had his crowd
And as he was tried they heard Steven cried aloud
I see Jesus standing at the father's right end I see Jesus over in the Promised Land
Work is over now I'm coming to be I see Jesus standing waiting for me
As the stones fell on him beating out his life
Steven knew he'd soon be through with all toil and strife
So much like a Master with a heart so true
He prayed Lord forgive them for they know not what they do
Through the gates of glory down the streets of gold
March the hero on the Lord into heaven's fold
When he met the Saviour at the great white throne
I believed he smiled and said Steven welcome home
I see Jesus...
John était amoureux, ça se voyait un peu.
Il avait un air si bizarre et veillait si tard.
Il buvait tant de vin que souvent, le matin
On pouvait l'entendre de l'étang jusqu'au moulin.
La fille aux longues mains ne disait jamais rien
Et le pauvre John pensait bien
Qu'à veiller dehors jusqu'au lever du jour
Il en crèverait ou bien de froid ou bien d'amour.
John avait un béguin, ça se voyait un brin.
Quand il tapait sur sa poitrine en buvant du gin
Il avait l'oeil hagard, buvait toujours à part
Poussait des hurlements qui faisaient fuir le vent.
Mais la fille aux longues mains ne disait jamais rien
Et le pauvre John pensait bien
Qu'à veiller dehors jusqu'au lever du jour
Il en crèverait ou bien de froid ou bien d'amour.
John était amoureux, il en a fait l'aveu.
Depuis, de la rivière au port, on en rit encore.
Le soir, au coin du feu, on écoute les vieux
Raconter l'histoire de John l'amoureux.
Il aimait la statue d'une belle inconnue
Morte cent ans auparavant dans un ouragan.
Il allait tous les jours lui dire son amour
Et noyait sa peine dans un verre à son retour.
La fille aux longues mains ne dirait jamais rien
Et le pauvre John savait bien
Que dans la statue était son coeur et qu'un jour
Il en crèverait ou bien de froid ou bien d'amour
Que dans la statue était son coeur et qu'un jour
Il en crèverait ou bien de froid ou bien d'amour
There's rain on my door step
I've got music in my mind
Time on my hands to sit and wonder why
In this world of dark angels
And blood ridden reapers
With money and the power of life
They live as our keepers
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain everyday
They give you golden promises
The knowlegde of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces
I saw the wart on TV today
A speech for all, but nothing to say
And I wonder, why- I ask myself
Why, I believe well it looks
Like I've been deceived
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain
Do you know your same
All alone in the rain we're all the same
Mm hmm

It's avias on the mic
Haha

Formerly known as Pancho Villa
The writer of the constitution for the prostitution
Yeah I just jumped out my 'llac
To jump on this motherfuckin track

.44 bulldog, my motherfucking pet
I point it at you and tell that motherfucker, fetch

When I was in jail she let me call her collect
But if she get greedy, I'ma starve her to death
Top down, it's upset
Been fucking the world and nigga, and I ain't cum yet
You fuck with me wrong, I knock your head off your neck
The flight too long, I got a bed on the jet
The guns are drawn and I ain't talking about a sketch
I pay these niggas with a reality check
Prepare for the worst but still praying for the best
This game is a bitch, I got my hand up her dress
The money don't sleep, so Weezy can't rest
And AK47 is my fucking address
I'm not a star, somebody lied
I got a chopper in the car
I got a chopper in the car
I got a chopper in the car
Yeah, load up the choppers like it's December 31st
Roll up and cock it, and hit them niggas where it hurts
If I die today, remember me like John Lennon
Buried in Louis, I'm talking all brown linen, huh
Big black nigga and an icy watch
Shoes on the coupe, bitch, I got a Nike shop
Count the profits, you could bring them in a Nike box
Grinding in my Jordans, kick them off they might be hot, swish
I'm swimming in the yellow bitch
In the red, 9-11 looking devilish
Red beam make a bitch nigga sit down
Thought he were bulletproof 'til he got hit the fifth time
Drop Palmolive in a nigga dope
Make it come back even harder than before
Baby, I'm the only one that paid your car notes
Well connected, got killers off in Chicago
I'm not a star, somebody lied
I got a chopper in the car

I got a chopper in the car
Yeah, load up the choppers like it's December 31st

Rip your ass apart, then I put myself together
Y-M-C-M-B, Double M, we rich forever
The bigger the bullet, the more that bitch going to bang
Red on the wall, Basquiat when I paint
Red Lamborghini 'til I gave it to my bitch
My first home invasion, papa gave me forty bricks
Son of a bitch, then I made a great escape
Ain't it funny, mama? Only son be baking cakes
Pull up in the sleigh, hop out like I'm Santa Claus
Niggas gather around, got gifts for each and all of y'all
Take it home and let it bubble, that's the double up
If you get in trouble that just mean you fucking up
It's a cold world, I need a bird to cuddle up
I call the plays, motherfucker huddle up
I'm not a star, somebody lied
John takes a seat so he can wind his watch
Not working anymore but it's so good to touch
It's the only solid evidence of what he's done and seen
It helps him to remember his past life was not a dream
It used to tell the time when he was young
But time means nothing now
He has a clear view of the sun
John stopped me on the street today
He didn't have that much to say
I said I had to get to work but he begged me to stay
There was a look in his eyes I'd never seen before
I couldn't walk away I knew I wouldn't see him anymore
He bummed a smoke looked off into space awhile
Then he looked into my eyes and unleashed a fleeting
Smile
Dennis it's so good to see you
You have no idea
Just how bad it's getting on the street
I try to hide away
But they find me every day
And I'm so tired of the heat
Yesterday I heard the news
They sent me a letter
Said it was suicide
I sit at home 'cause I'm able
I sing out loud but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree of a fable
She sells me lies but she sings on anyway
I live alone at the stable
Betting twice 'cause the numbers say I'm wrong
I've rolled the tree 'cause I'm able
I've burned the mountain to prove that they all were wrong
What's in a story?
What's in a name?
Who makes you hurry?
What cuts the frame?
John, where have you gone?
We've waited so long, where have you gone?
Has something gone wrong?
We've waited so long, where have you gone?
I sit alone 'cause I'm able
I live out life but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree that was stable
There's rain on my door step
I've got music in my mind
Time on my hands to sit and wonder why
In this world of dark angels
And blood ridden reapers
With money and the power of life
They live as our keepers
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain everyday
They give you golden promises
The knowlegde of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces
I saw the wart on TV today
A speech for all, but nothing to say
And I wonder, why- I ask myself
Why, I believe well it looks
Like I've been deceived
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain
Do you know your same
All alone in the rain we're all the same
I'm gone today
