FHM, originally published as For Him Magazine, is an international monthly men's lifestyle magazine.
The magazine began publication in 1985 in the United Kingdom under the name For Him and changed its title to FHM in 1994 when Emap Consumer Media bought the magazine, although the full For Him Magazine continues to be printed on the spine of each issue.
Circulation expanded to newsagents as a quarterly by the spring of 1987. It then went monthly and changed its name to FHM in 1994. It subsequently dominated the men's market and began to expand internationally.

I can see it
It's funny man
Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle
[Once in a while I do look at you]
I see my pain in your eyes man
[To see that twinkle in your eyes]
So I know you're feelin' me
It's that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
I've seen it
In me
Cause everyday I can't help but see it
People ain't satisfied
And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
and Everybody wanna live another life
But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
Not to better your days
All That would do is leave room for people to say
"I guess you're livin' better now
Share a little bit of that cheddar now"
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin' and robbin' too
I done tossed the baretta now
On a whole nother level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people doin' the same
And gettin' money too
[Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
Oh once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
[Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
Cause every time you ask me, I'm grindin'
It shouldn't have to be that way
You shouldn't have to pay my way
I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
Got a little little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
Oh what must I do
that's what you'll be askin'
God please hold it down for me
Don't let Satan get the hold of me
I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
Muhammad thank God he recovered
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
Look in your eyes
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
'Cause I see your pain now
'Cause I see your pain now
I can feel you strain now
And I can see you cryin'
And inside you're dyin'
We're no longer the same now
But you got to make change now
[Once in awhile I do look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more
[Once in awhile I do look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
Don't wanna cry no more
And I can see
That you don't ever want to struggle no more
Shady Sadie (Shady Sadie)

Don't pay her no mind, no
She'll take ev'ry dime
She's got a one-a-day lunch,

Hot,hot lunch, oh,oh,no
In times of trouble
When all the world seems, oh, so dark
And I can't find a way to cope
When deep down inside me
I can no longer feel the spark
When I can see no ray of hope
When I am lost
What makes it all worthwhile
One simple thought to make me smile
These are my children
My saving grace
I see my calling
In every face
These are my children
And I thank God
For choosing me, for choosing me
I wasn't blessed
As other women in this life
To have my own, to be mother and wife
But I was blessed
Beyond where wildest dreams can reach
For I have the privilege
Yes, the privilege to teach
These are my children
My saving grace
I see my calling
In every face
These are my children
My family tree
And I thank God
And I thank God
Yes, I thank God
For choosing me
For choosing me
I wanna be bad and not even care
I wanna go out of my head somewhere
I wanna go crazy like the dogs in the yard
I wanna cut the rope but it's getting so much harder
I think I'll play poker stay out every night
Throw stones at the water in the morning light
I wanna be lazy like the dogs in the yard
Why can't I fly tonight? Why can't I sleep all morning?
I'm going out of my mind tonight
That's where I'm going, that's where I'm going
Gonna have a good time, before it's too late
Come on, baby, let's go uptown and celebrate, gonna celebrate
We're gonna run crazy like the dogs in the yard
We're gonna fly tonight, we're gonna sleep all morning
We're going out of our minds tonight
Hold Your Dream
Countless hours of learning more
Countless hours of knowing less
Can't look behind you
You have to look ahead.
So many doubts running through your mind
All the excuses
Don't have the time
All the rejection you have to leave behind
Leave it all behind
Hold your dreams
Don't ever let it go
Be yourself
And let the world take notice
You'll find strength
When people being you down
They will see
If you will only, only believe
Someway, Somehow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't give up now (Don't give up)
Don't be afraid to succeed (to succeed, yeah)
Someway, somehow (Come on, everybody)
The time is right now (It's our time, yeah)
Don't be afraid to succeed (to succeed, yeah!)
Hold your dreams
Don't ever let it go
Be yourself
And let the world take notice
You'll find strength
When people bring you down
They will see
find deep within the old memory coat
a cricket bag you ate from
its sweet smiling apology
acceptance awaits you
don't be afraid to cherish it
look it up in the bookmobile
look it up in the gun rack
in the magazine rack, and the map
for it is only after the fence comes down
that the cartoon bubble explodes
and the new party begins
invitation only in stealing a senator's suitcase
let them out and dance for the ant-god
like scary magnets
to pounce upon command
upon the man, the man called aerodynamics
Everyday
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,
Everyone says go ahead and ask her,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer,
Every way, love's a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,
Everyone says go ahead and ask her,
Love like yours will surely c]ome my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer,
Every way, love's a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Do I ever cross your mind darling
Do you ever see
Some situation somewhere somehow
Triggers your memory
And do you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever cross your mind
Do you ever want to know
If all dreams go on endlessly
Or do they just run down somehow
Gradually become the custody
Or that melancholy jaded by the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind
CHORUS:
Do I ever cross your mind
When you're lonely
Or does that only happen to me
Darling don'tcha ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind
Chorus
Harry: It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't because it can't be long
Before our dream comes true
Because you know I don't belong
And furthermore I shan't belong
To anyone but you
Larken: In a little while
Just a little while
You and I will be one two three four
In a little while I will see your smile
On the face of my son to be
Forever hand in glove
Is the way I have it planned
But I'll only stay in love
If the glove contains your hand
(original)
(In a velvet gown
I'll be coming down the aisle
And it's bound to seem as though
The waiting's only been a little in a little while)
{revival}
{Harry: I can see it all
Down to every small detail
So I wish you'd look around until you found
A castle in the neighborhood for sale
Larken (spoken) Oh I already have! It's tiny, only 27 rooms, and the moat's a mess, but we can pick it up for a sonnet!}
My time is at a premium
For soon the world will see me a
Maternal bride to be
I know I mustn't worry Harry
Still I wish you'd hurry Harry
Harry marry me!
Harry: In a little while
just a little while
You and I will be one two three four
In a little while I will see your smile
On the face of my son to be
{Both:} Forever hand in glove
Is the way I have it planned
But I'll only stay in love
If the glove contains your hand
Both: In a velvet gown you'll/I'll be coming down the aisle
And it's bound to seem as though
The waiting's only been a little in a little while
It's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, my my
Well I drop myself on the cold cement
Hang my head 'cause my woman's bent
No lights on but I know that she's home
So I ring the bell another forty time
The neighbor dog made me lose my mind
Now I see her car slide down the road
It's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo , my my
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me
Now I act as if I just got there
From doing important shit somewhere
But she don't seem impressed with me at all
So I decided as I stood
I'm done with this one now for good
But I know as soon as I get home
And see that I'm all by myself
I'm gonna pick up the phone
And tell her I would do anything to have her back again
'Cause that's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo , my my
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me
(got to get back to me)
I know how to get back to me
(got to get back to me)
I know how to get back to me
(got to get back to me)
I know how to get back to me
(got to get back to me)
I know how to get back
I. Magna Carta Overture (Instrumental)
II. Declaration
John The King of England
Duke of Normandy (Count of Aquitaine)
Spoke to all his subjects
Declaring freedom and reform in this present charter...
III. Status Quo
In the first place it is our will
Before we quarrel there are rights to instill
Upon our heirs, confirmed with grace
The English Church shall stand in faith
If any earl or baron dies
And owes us relief we will rectify
Our binding words to the sons under age:
We'll hold it in trust - your inheritance is saved.
The guardian of the land will now answer to us.
Assignable for husbandry and wardship.
The Treaty of The Magna Carta will ensure this.
IV. Reform
City of London have all your liberties
Free customs and furthermore; petition counsel
That no assessment shall reach into the pockets
Of the common man
We respect the rights of the common man
We must respect the rights of the common man.....
No witch hunt executions to be held in the shadows
No trivial crimes shall condemn one to the gallows
All evil customs, warrens, sheriffs, shall be abolished
All hostages will be released
In the the final hours of this decadence we must defeat
'Cause it's not too late for the future
Stand back - look around
It's a time for peace not a time for war or for judgement
Summon all, listen to my order!
This fifteenth day of June in Runnymeade
All must coincide as The Magna Carta is ratified.....
V. Restoration
Should a man transgress this charter
We'll judge in fairness with law and order
Time for the kingdom to be granted all these things
Wishing betterment for allies, with security.
Liberty of conscience is finally restored as The
Magna Carta is moving forward in this restoration
From such a young man his great awakenings has
saved our homeland.....
In a modern world we still must fight to learn the
lessons that prolong our plight
The history of those before should help us now but
we choose to ignore
Explore the new ground - discovery
We know the answers but no one sees
We are so close but we stand so far
From the restoration - the nearest star
The Hour of Restoration is now upon us
We measure the time all history to the present The
Magna Carta
Trust of the ancient living.
City of London have all your liberties, free customs
and furthermore
Petition counsel that no assessment shall reach into
the pockets of the common man.
We restored the rights of the common man
We have restored the rights of the common man...
In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
With all it's lights so bright
To the trucker on the highway
Pressing through the night
I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
I'm in a European disco
And it's thumping up the beat
There's a jukebox in a cafe
Where the younger ones can meet
We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I'm moving on that back beat
Girl, but it's you that sings the song
'Cos I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
The sound of you is so sweet
And I'm sailing on your wind song
Oh, I can feel the summer breeze
You've got me walking on my tiptoes
You've got me standing on my knees
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
To the clubs of gay Paris
No matter where I roam, girl,
You can always get to me
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
all i want is you, don't you know that
forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
i'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
that we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
we cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
they put on us, my love
we're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
they never understand the mysteries of love
here's the mysteries of love
give your body to the mysteries
tear down your uniforms
here's the mysteries of love
all i want to be, don't you know it
all we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
we kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
we cannot lose at all
breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
they'll never understand
the mysteries of love
Ich sitze hier im Dunkeln, die Zeit steht still, ich denke nach,
You're just a stupid girl
You really got a lot to learn
Start living again
Forget about remembering
You're such a stupid girl.
You're such a beautiful fish
Floppin' on the summer sand
Lookin' for the wave you missed
When another one is close at hand
You're such a stupid girl.
You're such a stupid girl.
I saw you in Mercedes Benz
Practicing self-defense
You got it pretty good I guess
I couldn't see your eyes
You're really stupid, girl.
You're such a stupid girl.
Think of how to use it
Use it on the stage
Think of Katherine Hepburn
Think of Gerry Page
Think of all the feelings
Wasted on this creep
Think of how you could use them
Think of Meryl Streep
Why should I be crazy
Spilling out my guts
Make a big explosion
Go completely nuts
These are my emotions
Mine alone to keep
I know I could use them
Think of Meryl Streep
Inside me there's a world of color and light
Nothing has to be wrong
Nothing has to be right
Inside me are treasures that glow
An actress's job is to know what she's willing to show
And then hide all the rest so no-one's the wiser
Save up all the best, like Midas the miser
Keep every moment under control
Always in charge, playing a role
Smile and shrug your shoulders
Make believe it's fine
Come up with an answer
Or a witty line
Though your heart is breaking
Never start to weep
Someday you can use it
Someday you can use it
Someday you can use it
Don't need no rich bitch, to tell me which
Fork to use, I paid my dues
In a rat-trap building called New York
Livin' off beans, greens, and pork
In a basement, tenement,
No one's got to tell me what it meant
To be black, Jack
Ace of spades
All the car-wash washers and day-work maids
Can't wash it off, never fades,
It's who you are until you're dead
Now ain't that a kick upside the head?
Yeah, I know about Pryor and Portier,
Can't get higher than Sugar Ray
Muhammed Ali and Doctor J
And 90% of the N.B.A.
Reggie Jackson, Jesse Jackson,
Michael and Mahaliah Jackson,
Now what's that got to do with me?
On the street the only thing I see is:
Crack dealers, pocketbook stealers,
Coke snorters, Time Square daughters,
Eight-year olds who dance for quarters,
And tokes, and two-line blows,
New Adidas and stereos!
That's us! That's it!
What's your reason to kill or not?
This has come a long way,
Too fake for the season, is it real or not?
Totally in this i would stay!
Too many sensations now for a good feeling,
I'll take a step back.
Let's go under and hold our breath.
Who's got the reasons now?
In one little mouth it goes,
Never will surface!
Too many sensations now for a good feeling,
I'll take a step back.
Too many sensations now for if to be so real!
Too many sensations now for a good feeling,
I'll take a step back.
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
You just have to believe
There's a place where
Our dreams come true
Everybody got something
Something that is deep within
It's hard to find
Oh, but stretch your mind
You built your dream
You built them high
There's no reason
You can't fly
You've gotta go
Oh, it's time for show
There might be times
When you ask yourself why
There will come a day
Your whole body cries
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
If you want to succeed
There's no easy way out
It's all in the game
People win or loose
You just have to believe
There's a place where
Our dreams come true
Oohh
It's all in the game
Everyday you try to find
A different way to cross that line
It's up to you
You know what to do
Winter, summer, spring or fall
Just keep your spirit through it all
The burning light
Oh, it shines so bright
There might be times
When you ask yourself why
There will come a day
Your whole body cries
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
If you want to succeed
There's no easy way out
It's all in the game
People win or loose
You just have to believe
There's a place where
Our dreams come true
Oohh
You feel a fire deep within
Now you know in your heart you can win
Through the tears and through the rain
You kept this fire, you live this flame
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
If you want to succeed
There's no easy way out
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah...
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
If you want to succeed
There's no easy way out
It's all in the game
(Oh, yeah)
People win or loose
You just have to believe
There's a place where
Our dreams come true
It's all in the game
Now it's up to you
If you want to succeed
There's no easy way out
It's all in the game
(Yeah, yeah)
People win or loose
You just have to believe
There's a place where
Our dreams come true
Oohh
We have arrived at a moment in our lives
When the future passes into out hands
We can find out, are we really strong enough
To fulfill what the future demands
We can stand on the edge
And look out into space
And be awed
By the wonders we see
We can all make a pledge
That the whole human race
Will become what we want it to be
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Long, long ago in a world we never made
We were children who were making believe
Closing our eyes
We were travelers in air
To a land we would not want to leave
But the fairy tale land, fades away as we grow
And we all have to say our goodbyes
And we now understand, that this world that we know
Can be ours if we open our eyes
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
Oh Lord give me a sign
Give me a call on your heavenly line
Tell me, oh Lord, what it is that you want of me
Keep me from eatin' whatever's in front of me
Oh Lord give me a sign
Oh Lord give her a sign
Give her a call on your heavenly line
Call me up, call me up on your heavenly line
Tell her oh Lord, what it is that you want of her
Tell me oh save me
Keep her from eatin' whatever's in front of her
Save me from eatin' whatever's in front of me
Oh Lord, give me the answer
Ooh, ah
Save me from being the world's fattest dancer
You were the honest friend
I was the great pretender
I hid my feeling to the end
Now I want to say
What it means to me
How I could ever be the same
Without you
The way I know I really feel about you
The way I know I'll always feel about you
Why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we try to play a love scene
We don't need the violins to play a love scene
Where we see how love begins
Find a way to start and learn to play the part
A perfect scene from a play unknown
Let's play a love scene
Let's play a love scene
We don't need the violins to play a love scene
Where we see how love begins
Find a way to start and learn to play the part
A perfect scene from a play unknown
Let's play a
Let's play a
Out in L.A. and broke on the ticket that this fellow sent me
One change of clothes in the suitcase my girlfriend Anna lent me
I stayed for awhile in his place, runnin' with this crowd of his
Partyin' day after day, meetin' everybody in the biz
Oh, they know how to do it in L.A.
They know how to make it seem brand new
Though it's true what they say, that it's only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In L.A the dream may come true
After the booze and the coke
The visions of the blue Pacific
After the two hundredth time
I told him he was just terrific
I woke up one late afternoon
And couldn't tell quite where I was
Left-over taste in my mouth
And the morning after buzz
I packed my bag and split and found myself a dancin' job
Worked the bar for tips and stripped for every lonely slob
Counted every single minute as the hours went by
Then fell in bed and cried til there were no more tears to cry
You try to stop the thought from comin'
That it never ends
You think about how far you are
From home and friends
You get thru one day at a time
You find a way of stayin' numb
Don't look in the mirror
To see what you've become
But they know how to do it in L.A.
They know hot to make it seem so new
Though it's true what they say
That's it's only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In L.A. the dream may come true
Yes, they know how to do it in L.A.
They know how to make it seem brand new
Though it's true what they say, that it's only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In L.A, in L.A., in L.A. the dreams may all come...
Yes, they know how to do it in L.A.
They know that somewhere the sky is blue
So smile when they say 'It's only a dream'
And you'll get what is comin' to you
I want to make magic
I want to be bigger than I am
I want to make people really care
Really give a damn
I want to make magic
I want to breathe fire on the stage
I want to make every single line
Jump right off the page
I want to do it all from A to Z
I want to do 'The Lion in Winter'
Brecht and Harold Pinter
Sophocles, Eugene O'Neill
I want to really see what I can be
Another Jason Robards or DeNiro
Play a tragic hero
Go for it all and really show the way I feel
I want to make magic
I want to electrify the place
I want to be more than just a fool
With make-up on his face
I want to make magic
Magic
This ain't no
Movie show
Playin' in the theater
Or a video
Fantasy
I was always hot to see
On the T.V.
I'm so hot, hot to trot
I can hardly wait to show them what I got
Wonder who'll come out shinin' like a jewel
In the 'Fame' school
Here we are
So bizarre
This is where they show you
How to be a star
I can't wait
I can't even concentrate
I just pulsate
Class to class, try'n' to pass
Learnin' who the teachers are who bust your ass
Feelin' small, feeling up against the wall
During roll call
I'm alive and I will survive
Show the world that I can take it
When I hit the heights
Put my name in lights
Show the world that I can
Make it by doin'
doin', doin' doin'
By doin' hard work
By doin' hard work
By doin' hard work
Everyday, I'll wake up in the mornin'
Splash my face to keep myself from yawnin'
Get dressed and get my bones together
Open the window to check out the weather
Then like I seen a ghost, man
I'll be movin' my feet
Just like the postman in the cold or the heat
No time to talk and I go dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Lunchtime is music to my ears
I'm down on Wallstreet with all the financiers
South Street Seaport I am the action
The number one tourist attraction
Hip hop to the West Side
Where I do myself proud
The West Side is the best side for drawin' a crowd
The cabbies squawk when I go dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Uptown I do my boogaloo
Stoppin' traffic on Seventh Avenue
Nighttime the corner to be on
Times Square under the neon
For my finale
I'll be doin' my thing
In Shubert Alley
They're gonna crown me the king
Of all New York
Because I'm dancin', dancin', dancin' woo
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
Dancin' on the sidewalk
You know what it's like
When you wake up in the mornin' and it's hard,
Standin' up straight at attention
Like the changin' of the guard?
Or how it is in a porno shop
When you put you quarter in the slot,
And you try to look cool
So nobody knows that you're hot?
You go to a club and you're high
On some fine marijuana
And the singer of the band
Copped all of her moves from Madonna .... and you wanna
Or late at night, you're home in bed alone,
And it's cold out,
And put your hand where it's warm
While you open up Miss January's fold-out
Well, that's how it is, when she's around,
And I can't, no I can't
I can't keep it down!
I can't keep it down when that girl's around
I can't keep it under my control
I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't!
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll!
I'm thinkin' 'bout the time in my life
When I first learned what cryin' was,
The first time I ever had to come face to face
With what dyin' was,
The relatives gathered all in black
To mourn for my great aunt Juanita,
When who comes through the door to pay her respects
But our cousin Conchita,
The tears in her eyes only made them look
Even more Spanish,
As I watched her I swear I could feel the floor
Under me vanish,
She goes to them all, then she fin'ly
Comes over to me,
And she kisses my cheek and I lower my eyes,
I can hardly believe what I see!
'Cause I'm lookin' down the front of her gown,
And I can't, no, I can't
I can't keep it down!
I can't keep it down when that girl's around
I can't keep it under my control
I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't!
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll!
Somthimes I wonderWhere I've beenWho I amDo I fit it in
Make beliving is hard alone

We're always provingwho we arealways reaching for that rising star
to guide me farand shine me home

Gone off soft boy you used to be the man
Ain't try heads on, but you're heart broken again
Think you're feeling yourself, boy you're filling yourself
Tattered up yoru body, what you did to yourself?
Come a time in your life when you get tired of the cards you've been dealt
So you dealing yourself
Hoe you got some opinions, ain't nobody got time for that
Main reason why I duck your could be phone call
Fuck y'all niggas this is brooklyn gun shot
Say boy done changed
That's all I hear when I come around
Cause it's source magazine and that double xl
Got me nominated, shit is complicated
I'm intoxicated, cause I was concentrated with that henny
Balling on these niggas like I'm tryina win an emi
Yeah I got plenty these lord need demi
And I need like 30 millies before I leave my 20's
Hold up, let me slow that, south side nigga, I'ma hold that

Hit them with the 16, put em all front screen

You ain't come where I come from
So you can't do what I did
You can't speak on none of that real shit
Cause that real shit you ain't live
Niggas claim rich when they pockets on lean
Working 9 to 5 talking bout they got bricks
Where your facts at, boy you like that
Go put away your imaginary stacks
Bucnh of chief keefs in the street with the banger
And I'm always good in my hood
Cause I just stood the same and ain't change up
I'm paid in full, my shit on 1000
Tryina put you on man fuck em cowards
I've seen the lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll
I've felt sin's breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul
I've heard the voice of Jesus telling me to fight on
He promised never to leave me, no, never alone
Never alone, never alone, oh, never
Never alone, never alone
He'll never leave you alone
The world's fierce winds are blowing, temptations sharp and keen
I felt a peace in knowing my Savior stands between
He stands to shield me from danger when earthly friends are gone
He promised never to leave me, no, never alone
Never alone, never alone, oh, never
Never alone, never alone
He'll never leave you alone
He'll never leave you alone
When in affliction's valley, I'm treading the road with care
My Savior helps me to carry a cross too heavy to bear
My feet entangled with briers, ready to cast me down
He'll never leave you alone
When in affliction's valley, I'm treading the road with care
My Savior helps me to carry a cross too heavy to bear
My feet entangled with briers, ready to cast me down
He'll never leave you alone
Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never

And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time I'll make you forget the rest
I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hands
Don't you know who I am
Remember my name, fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry, fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame, fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Remember, remember
Remember, remember
Remember, remember
Remember, remember
Baby, hold me tight
'Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give
Baby, I'll be tough
Too much is not enough
I can ride your heart till it breaks
Ooh, I got what it takes
Fame, I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry, fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame, fame
I'm gonna live forever
Talk of the jester I have been
Talk of the fool given damn about
Talk of attention I did seek
Talk of the lack you shown no regard
To chance that I took
Stakes that I staked
Thoughts in my head
That someway there's maybe
Mask that I wore
Masking what I feel
But truth that I face
Revealing thing is
You don't know me
You don't want me
You don't hear me
No at all
You walk by me
Recognize me
You smear side me
Than just go
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
If only if only if only
If only if only if only
You'd know
Think how embivalent must feel
To not exist seem invisible
Talk of the hurt weight it placed on me
Talk of your careless while I lay marred
Truth it be told
That can hide the thing is
You don't know me
You don't want me
You don't hear me
No at all
You walk by me
Recognize me
You smear side me
Than just go
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
If only if only if only
If only if only if only
You'd Know
The question could I cause
The question could I pause
To stare the grid straight
Peering through your own eyes
And the moment when I coped
Is is the moment when I stopped
And dealt with this plan mishap of mine
You don't know me
You don't want me
You don't hear me
No at all
You walk by me
Recognize me
You see side me
Than just go
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
And I don't just wanna be just a shadow
If only if only if only
If only if only if only
If only if only if only
If only if only if only
This ends now
The hollow hearted slides deeper cross the soul
On this end
The dismay churns it weighs heavy hands go coal
The eyes like soars
They gone pupiled out they leave
The eyes like soars they tired of figuring out the reason
Eyes like soars from wonder why
Take the aching deny left voided
On the flip side of love
To the despite is loathing
Fear the lone side of lonely
Feeling omit no lusting
No something
No Love
To the despite is loathing
In the strangeness of us is
Be it love or be it hated
Than nothing at all
On this end
In hind sight thought
Some might wouldn't of got involved
To the end
That single man that lye's
Faith waste expects far gone
While their eyes like soars
They gone pupiled out they leave you
Their eyes like soars
They done figuring out the reason
Their eyes like soars from pondering
Either take aching
Deny left voided
On the flip side of love
To the despite is loathing
Fear the lone side of lonely
Feeling omit
No lusting no something no love
To the despite is loathing
In the strangeness of us is
Be it love or be it hated
Than nothing at all
Nothing at all
Others try but some have failed to
Single out their feelings
Some have cried that lonesome tale of
Figuring out their meaning
For nothing ventured nothing gain
Same nothing harms
It breaks it stinks
Can a man live like nomad hearted
Toss the thought
The bad side of lovin' sure all get it once
Be it hated
Bad side a lovin'
People have no choice
Between the crazy stages numbs the feelings
Circum evade them certain take aching
Than lye left voided
On the flip side of love
To the despite is loathing
Fear the lone side of lonely
Feeling omit no lusting
No something
No Love
To the despite is loathing
In the strangeness of us is
Be it love or be it hated than nothing
On the flip side of love
To the despite is loathing
Fear the lone side of lonely
Feeling omit no lusting no something no love
To the despite is loathing
In the strangeness of us is
Be it love or be it hated than nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all, all
All, all
Be it hated at all
I feel the need to know
Why I go through the things that I go through
And why is it everywhere I go,
People look at me as though be no good
One ask why, I don't know
I feel sometimes losing my head
Doing all that I can try na hold it down
And how not become physically drain
Shake hello only causes my calamity
One ask why, I don't know
Tell me why
Must I go through this plythe
And the pain in my life
Fighting everyday
Is it fair, when I try to survive
And get thrusted back inside
Hard to find my way
Give me one reason
Can't fathom for what
They do it for naught
To spite but themselves
Give me one reason
Trouble trying my all
Trying my calm
Cause you're fighting yourself
One reason
Why do hurting subside
Rid fury let die
Sickening me the more
One reason, for the constant conflict
Robbing still in my life
Won't be martyred so why a reason
There are times
I'm okay I play fine
Turn the button deaf ear grin watch lips move
Other times drowning eaten alive
Dangerous kick stabbing lying evilors tend to do
Hands decide probably knows
I search in the deepest in me
Misconceptions could lead to the misconstrue
Is there none other than but myself
Voicing loud this for what am I going through
Question why oh answer why
Tell me why
Must I go through this plythe
And the pain in my life
Fighting everyday
Is it fair, when I try to survive
And get thrust back inside
Hard to find my way
Give me one reason
Can't fathom for what
They do it for naught
To spite but themselves
Give me one reason
Trouble trying my all
Trying my calm
Cause you're fighting yourself
One reason
Why do hurting subside
Rid fury let die
Sickening me the more
One reason, for the constant conflict
Robbing still in my life
Won't be martyred so why a reason
Peace be still save peace
I pray them
Peace be still save peace
Please save them
I'm praying
I feel the need to know
Why I go through the things that I go through
Why oh why
Sirveme tequila
Que me quiero enborachar
Cantinero otro trago
Porque la quiero olvidar
Por su culpa ando sufriendo
Ya no la puedo aguantar
Quiero hogarme en este vino
Ya no quiero sufrir mas
Sirveme otra copa
Mesero por favor
Siento una herida
En el mero Corazon
Ella se fue con otro
Sin pensar en mi dolor
Cantinero traime otra
Botella de liqor
Yo se que yo soy pobre
Y tu mereses mucho mas
El te da riquezas
El mundo y mucho mas
Pero lo que te ofrezco
El no te puede dar
Un amor sin condiciones
Amor de mis amores
