Philip David Charles "Phil" Collins, LVO (born 30 January 1951) is an English singer-songwriter, drummer, pianist and actor best known as a drummer and vocalist for British progressive rock group Genesis and as a solo artist.
Collins sang the lead vocals on several chart hits in the United Kingdom and the United States between 1975 and 2010, either as a solo artist or with Genesis. His singles, sometimes dealing with lost love, ranged from the drum-heavy "In the Air Tonight", dance pop of "Sussudio", piano-driven "Against All Odds", to the political statements of "Another Day in Paradise".
Collins's professional music career began as a drummer, originally in a band called The Real Thing with Andrea Bertorelli, who later became his first wife. Collins played drums and shared lead vocals (with Brian Chatton) in Flaming Youth which recorded one album, (Ark II). In 1970, he took over drums for Genesis, which had already recorded two albums. In Genesis, Collins originally supplied backing vocals for front man Peter Gabriel, singing lead on only two songs: "For Absent Friends" from 1971's Nursery Cryme album and "More Fool Me" from Selling England by the Pound, which was released in 1973. Following Gabriel's departure in 1975, Collins became the group's lead singer.
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).

I think I know
What's been feedin' all your fantasies?
She moves real slow
You can almost hear her whisper please
Let me inside just for a while
Take a look a real good look
Take a look
But don't touch the fire
Take a look
But don't get burned in the flame
Take a look can you see yourself
Burning up
Behind your desire
Is it her you really want
Take a look
She moves your way
And you know that you're the only one
She starts to sway
Your imagination starts to run
You let her inside
She's drivin' you wild
Take a look a real good look
Take a look
But don't touch the fire
Take a look
But don't get burned in the flame
Take a look can you see yourself
Burning up
Behind your desire
Is it her you really want
Take a look
The dream you've been dreamin'
You could chase it all night
Don't you see there's a chance?
You've been blinded by the light
Take a look a real good look
Take a look
But don't touch the fire
Take a look
But don't get burned in the flame
Take a look can you see yourself
Burning up
Behind your desire
Is it her you really want
Take a look
Take a look a real good look
Take a look
But don't touch the fire
Take a look
But don't get burned in the flame
Take a look can you see yourself
Burning up
Behind your desire
Is it her you really want
Take a look
Take a look a real good look
Take a look
But don't touch the fire
Take a look
But don't get burned in the flame
Take a look can you see yourself
Burning up
Verse 1
Dem outlaws was born to break laws and felonies
Deh got an empty gates in da town, deh run it steadily
To all my money makers cross town dissemble funds and put the pieces back together
Tryin' to drunk one another
Case thrown out, storm da courtroom, uniforms and three piece suits
From bail putting up houses and loot, he walkin'
I heard him talking to his partner
Hawkins about his way of livin'
Faces of death
He's runnin' with this older kid from around Mount Olive and Silverstone
Deh stack mad gats in da ceilin' at his baby mom's home
These narc's are watchin' us
Undercovers on the rooftop
Prepared and bullet proofed up
Jurassic blowin' cruisers up fatal
They got us trapped under this negative force
Some try to find a way out but no doubt some make it out
Some learnin' from their own mistakes
So take this negative and turn it into positive
Whether you what to listen is your prerogative.
Chorus
Take a look through my eyes and you'll see what I see
ENVY
Take a look through my eyes and you'll see what I see
JEALOUSY
Take a look through my eyes and you'll see what I see
LUST
Take a look through my eyes and you'll see what I see
HATE
Verse 2
Kick off da top lock and run in dat
Get to the point
Don't let him get the upper hand he's gamblin' with pare man
Told this kid thought he was quick, he drew but shot last
Blood on my mask
This other youth was tryin' to run for da door
And picked up one in his back and collapsed
Matter of fact my main concern was for somebody grab dis
I used my sleeve to wipe the money off the table flood it all in one bag
Deh takin' rings to bracelets and found coke inside da bin
Bit now deh takin too long, deh inside and laverishin'
Come on it's time we make a move so let's bounce from this apartment
Fly down the staircase
But now deh tarin' down the place wisely
Don't want a bate up situation therefore
So when we get to the west we sharin' out mines what's yours is yours
Beast boys come out at late night so don't speed
Ah yo a cruiser cuts us off to try ta make his way to the crime scene.
Chorus
Verse 3
Now in closin' you done know he should never brag for real
Come on you know that
Remember who can hear they must feel
But word out on the streets is that you robbin' mad peep's
And now it's getting bad to worse because it's getting too far
From front page to stolen cars narcs deh know who you are
We gotta meet him then tie him up and drive him real far
Then we separate his body chop it up for the cause Dem outlaws, breakin' in and out of gun store
Only you can understand spottin' shells on the floor
Ay yo it's far from a threat, faces of death, there's nothin' left…
It's far from a threat faces of death there's nothin' left.
Chorus x 2
Well, I know-
I'm gonna have to go
As far as style wise
I'll impress-
And I'm gonna get access
To you
So please strip off your reserve
And take a look at me
Take a look, take a look (take a look at me)
Take a look, take a look (I'm trying hard, baby)
Take a look, take a look (take a look at me)
And then you looked at me
Well, let me guess-
That the things I confess
Make you sick
But let me say-
That the day of my decay
Came up together with you
So please strip off your reserve
And take a look at me
Take a look, take a look (take a look at me)
Take a look, take a look (get a move on!)
Take a look, take a look (I'm trying hard, baby)
I don't know what you're after
Wannna know all the details of my disaster
Like an accident on the side of the road
When you're driving past slow but there's nothing to see here
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
I'm some kind of freak now and
You'll never see me the same
What's all the fuss about?
Are you sure you wanna find out?
Cause once you know the truth
You might wish you'd walked away
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
What if I'm not able
To put my cards on the table?
And would it liberate you
If you knew what I knew?
It's been over a year now and
I never saw him again
The facts and the fiction
Collide as the bodies untangle
And the traffic moves on like it did
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Take another bow and wipe the sweat off of your brow
miling to the crowd they are in love with you
Believe in what you will all the minds you want to fill
smilling to yourself, they are in love with you
Take a look, you might not like what you see
What do you think you know something great
it goes to show you can't resist the fatal blow
or change what's wrong with you
I tried to change myself to accomodate your doubts
ignoring all along you were in love with you
Drugs are coming across the border-Unrest turns into
disorder! Jobless people stand in queues-Everybody's
got the blues!
You can't ignore, what's going on the streets-You can't
ignore, when they're turning up the heat! You can't
ignore, that it's not much short of a war-Take a look
now, at your nation! Take a look now, what do you see?
Take a look now, this is your country! Is it really the
way is should be? Take a look now...
Lots of folks here got no proper homes-And when the
refugees come, they're first to go! What's wrong with
government? If a ****** means more than your own
citizen!
You can't ignore, what's going on the streets-You can't
ignore, when they're turning up the heat! You can't
ignore, that it's not much short of a war-Take a look
now, at your nation! Take a look now, what do you see?
Take a look now, this is your country! Is it really the
way is should be? Take a look now...
They're increasing the taxes every other day-When the
government blows it's the people who will pay?
Something should be clear now trough the bore-This
downfall can't go on no more!
You can't ignore, what's going on the streets-You can't
ignore, when they're turning up the heat! You can't
ignore, that it's not much short of a war-Take a look
now, at your nation! Take a look now, what do you see?
Take a look now, this is your country! Is it really the
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close
'Cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most
Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face
Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies
Take a look at your children born innocent
Every boy and every girl
Denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world
Oh, ohh dear Lord, what's happening to your precious dream?
I think its washin' away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes
Take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody
Nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no it's not too late
We gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way
I don't know what you're after
Wannna know all the details of my disaster
Like an accident on the side of the road
When you're driving past slow but there's nothing to see here
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
I'm some kind of freak now and
You'll never see me the same
What's all the fuss about?
Are you sure you wanna find out?
Cause once you know the truth
You might wish you'd walked away
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
What if I'm not able
To put my cards on the table?
And would it liberate you
If you knew what I knew?
It's been over a year now and
I never saw him again
The facts and the fiction
Collide as the bodies untangle
And the traffic moves on like it did
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

Verse
Take a gander have a look
Inside my book
My auto bio from fool to pharoah the title
Real revolutionary like Stokely Carmicheal
Not that fake shit like Cinco De Mayo
Off rip as a lickle child
Heart of a lion
In fact yappin ya piehole
I'd crack ya back like a chiro-
Practer break or fracture not an actor never got a line
Had mo stripes than some zebras rockin a-di-das
Got a dime nada gotta chop dime potna
Try to drop a dime pop em i had drive off outerdrive
Long johns hand me downs and noddles ramen
Rock bottom bottom line from bottom I climbed
What i devised in the mirror i despised
Headed for my own demise original planned revised
Divine by design strayed but now I'm back on line
Better than picked outta line or even gettin out on bond
Lotta crime outta line i apologize
Lifetime opposite of Al B. Sure but I'll be fine
One wave of baton outta space outta mind
Tryna change the world one way at a time
One is rhyme
Rhyme-a-don (Ramadan)
Spiritually cleanse from within fuck that swine
Though I'm not an Islam
Practicer
Proly cuz Arabics were the first African capturers
Rape slaughter massacre that occurred pass the word
And still happens to this day but hey
Niggas gettin slayed yet you look the other way
People gone be people for em all I do is pray
And or peel and I will if ever I feel
Similar to Samuel in that movie time to kill
The real spill
General
This is not a drill
Deep water no gills
I am like fish
Camera man like fisherman
I'm gettin reeled
However I'm hardly thrilled
Fame game lame dames bunch of Holyfield's
Brains grey give they graves bunch of daffodils
I'm gettin chills
Cold world
Minus Fayettville
Minus the windshield
Cold world
Minus Fayettville
Minus the windshield
Hook
I'm wondering free
Just living in a dream
Everyday that goes by
It's the same ol thing
I'm like a captain on a ship
With the no certain course
On a run on a power pack
Baby your the source
If you would take a good look
Between the lines
Am I supposed to feel this way?
Will it ever end or is this all I get today?
Can I release my pain?
You tell me that I'm lost
and that my words are in vain
A simple buzz to stop my thoughts
Stuffing things inside my brain
You could say I got nothing to lose
But it's more like I got nothing to gain
Society, it's not for me
Others agree so I can't be wrong
Do you remember how it used to be
Or has it just benn too long?
Everywhere I go now everyone laughs at me
I found something to help me through
Something you could never see
I like playing rock-n-roll
But you say I'm wastin' life away
Don't ask my opinion because
I'm still trying to figure out yesterday
Chorus:
Define the world and bring it to me
Will I understand?
Is it plain to see?
If I tried, tell me what could I be?
Just all tied up now
but certainly not free
Can you remember?
Tell me where have you been?
I don't wanna hear your problems
I got my own
I don't wanna be your trademark
Just left alone
I don't wanna be your suspect
I don't wanna be your fool
I don't wanna listen to anything
Especially not your rules
You overlook the thing I say
you stare blankly at the things I do
I got something I believe in baby
That's more than I can say for you
I know what I want, yeah
I know how I can help my friend
I think I'll take this world we live in
I'm a ragged man with a ragged heart
but I wear my soul with pride
you can see me on the road
see me carrying my home.
And perhaps it seems that I'm all alone
but I'm happy here inside
you can keep your fancy dress
'cause to me it don't impress.
When I look in your face that camera smile looks out of place on you
and by the look in your eyes I can see you realize.
So lend yourself to me
I'll show you what could be.
Well
I've come so far down so many roads
I've experienced your pain
you know that that's a fact
I can see the way you act.
But I learn to see what was wrong with me and I won't go back again
I know I've made mistakes
but I also made the break.
You surround yourself with secrets
you are afraid to show to the world
you convince yourself there's no other way to go
don't you -
see the smile on my face
does it looks so out of place ?
So lend yourself to me
I'll show you what could be.
So many ways for you to spend the passing days.
Loving is living or losing and using
life is forgiving
so use it well.
Feeling
revealing or wheeling and dealing
life's not for stealing and time will tell.
Loving is living or losing and using
-take a look at your face-
life is forgiving
so use it well.-take a look at your face-
Feeling
revealing or wheeling and dealing
life's not for stealing and time will tell.
You must surely know man made heaven
then man made hell
so take a look at yourself
what's this secret you can't tell me ?
When I look at your face I see your smile
so out of place on you
and by the look in your eyes I can see you realize
[Cig:]
They said you only had a few minutes to live, so I'm thinkin' to myself
"I don't know where to begin to tell you how much you meant to me". I love
you dad. You were the best father a son could ever ask for and I'm gonna do
everything in my power to make you proud of me. I'm gonna be the first in my
family to graduate from college, and I'm gonna have a nice wife and a nice
family one day. And most importantly of all I'm gonna take care of Mom and little
Mikey. And even thought you're gone now, as long as I'm alive
you'll live on forever. Yeah
[Cig:]
This life's a nightmare and I hate this dream
I smile but things aint always what they seem
Remember When I was young you read me Goodnight Moon
I aint scared of death now cause I'll be with you soon
You suffered and went through 4 years of pain
But without you 1 day and we aint been the same
Mom can't sleep and when that phone rings
She's thinkin' it's doctors with that news they bring
I met Billy and thanked him for savin' your life
You went through rehab and made somethin' out of life
It's hard for me lookin' at your empty chair
Knowin' you aint home and you aint sittin' there
You're with your Moms now, I know how much you missed her
Tell her Chris loves her, hug her and kiss her
But we know that you're in a better place
Dad I love you forever and you'll never be replaced
[Chorus: x2]
Take a look at my life and see what I see
Cause now a days I don't even wanna be me
Just take a look at my life and see what I see
Cause in the perfect world you'd be together with me
[Cig:]
He was a hippy, he danced at the clubs
Fatherless in Brooklyn you ran with the thugs
You taught me the downfalls of usin' drugs
You made mistakes but hey, everybody does
You loved the Yankees, fishin', and the Rangers
You was always kind and generous to strangers
30 plus, Moms and you been at it for years
You stuck it out through shared fears and tears
You're at peace now Pops, go 'head and rest
Cause I'mma be the man now, at least try my best
You laid the path down and I'mma follow your steps
This life's a journey and mine will end in success
It sucks, but problems for us aint new
You taught us people were corrupt and aint true
I don't know how to deal or how I'll get through
I guess by holdin' on to memories of you
[Chorus]
Cig: See, I know my father man. He's probably up in Heaven right now
chillin' with the Beatles and Jimmy Hendrix. You fought till your last day on earth,
and I feel blessed that I can even say that you were my Father. Thank you God
[Cig:]
I couldn't grasp the fact that you actually died
The rain outside signifies tears I've cried
If I said I didn't want you here Dad, well then I've lied
But that's selfish of me so I swallow my pride
Mom this aint a death, more like a celebration
For Gods greatest life made in creation
I carry a smile as bright as a constillation
Concentration got me pacin' and awaitin'
Pictures, black suites, tributes, and memories
You fought and wouldn't give in to that damn disease
Please know before you go all the lives you've touched
Prepared, but didn't realize that it hurt this much
You'd be amazed at how many people cared
Bad things happenin' to good people aint rare
Swear you tapped me on the shoulder to show me there
You're finally at peace Dad, God answered your prayers
[Chorus]
You keep hoping someday you'll have it all.
It keeps your mind chasing dreams down it's slick and darkened hall.
You just can't be happy with what you got.
Unless you own the whole damn lot.
Think about what you have, instead of what you don't have.
And you would find that you're doing better than most.
When you finally hold the things you've been longing for, you immediately think about the next.
[Chorus]
Have you ever looked around you? Have you ever enjoyed the moment?
Have you ever let yourself just simply be?
Can you think of strengths that you have, instead of what you think you need.
Did you ever question what you believe?
The grass just gets greener on the other side.
While the moment keeps passing by.
And it will never be good enough to appreciate what's already there.
And if you'd take a look, take a look around.
You keep hoping someday you'll have it all.
It keeps your mind chasing dreams down it's slick and darkened hall.
You just can't be happy with what you got.
Unless you own the whole damn lot.
Think about what you have, instead of what you don't have.
And you would find that you're doing better than most.
When you finally hold the things you've been longing for, you immediately think about the next.
[Chorus]
Have you ever looked around you? Have you ever enjoyed the moment?
Have you ever let yourself just simply be?
Can you think of strengths that you have, instead of what you think you need.
Did you ever question what you believe?
The grass just gets greener on the other side.
While the moment keeps passing by.
And it will never be good enough to appreciate what's already there.

Take a look at this heart
It's the one I'm gonna ust to love you
Take a look at these arms
These are the arms I'm gonna use to hug you
Look at these eyes
These are the eyes that will haunt you
Ohhhh take a look at this girl
She's the girl that wants you
Take a look at my feet

Take a look at this head, Take a look at these hips, It's gonna knock(?)

Look at these lips
There gonna kiss you and
I know they'll haunt you
Ohhh Take a look at this girl
I'm the girl that wants you
Ohhh take a look at that reef
That you see lying in the window
Take a look at that poor little dimple spot on my third finger
If you wanna see someone who's gonna be happy as can be
Take a look at me

There the ones I'm gonna use to hold you
