Tagalog (/təˈɡɑːlɒɡ/;Tagalog pronunciation: [tɐˈɡaːloɡ]) is an Austronesian language spoken as a first language by a third of the population of the Philippines and as a second language by most of the rest. It is the first language of the Philippine region IV (CALABARZON and MIMAROPA) and of Metro Manila. Its standardized form, commonly called Filipino, is the national language and one of two official languages of the Philippines. It is related to other Austronesian languages such as Malay, Javanese, and Hawaiian.
The word Tagalog derived from tagailog, from tagá- meaning "native of" and ílog meaning "river". Thus, it means "river dweller". Very little is known about the history of the language. However, according to linguists such as Dr. David Zorc and Dr. Robert Blust, the Tagalogs originated, along with their Central Philippine cousins, from Northeastern Mindanao or Eastern Visayas.
The first written record of Tagalog is in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, written in the year 900, using fragments of the language along with Sanskrit, Malay, and Javanese. Meanwhile, the first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two transcriptions of Tagalog; one in the Baybayin script and the other in Latin script. Throughout the 333 years of Spanish occupation, there were grammar and dictionaries written by Spanish clergymen such as Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala by Pedro de San Buenaventura (Pila, Laguna, 1613), Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1835) and Arte de la lengua tagala y manual tagalog para la administración de los Santos Sacramentos (1850). Poet Francisco Baltazar (1788–1862) is regarded as the foremost Tagalog writer. His most notable work is the early 19th-century Florante at Laura.
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
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)
[ Allen Toussaint ]
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
that are gonna walk up to your door
Take a look at this head, Take a look at these hips, It's gonna knock(?)
like n
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
Take a look at me
Tame eeee
Take a look at this heart
It's the one I'm gonna ust to look at these arms
There the ones I'm gonna use to hold you
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
Time to slip out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back
I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry about what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
In the back of beyond
Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every
But now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do
When the long night awakes
With memories a midnight feat
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever
I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry about what we leave behind
Remember what a friend of mine said
Tough Break Handjob Broke It All Right In Two
And It Won€™t Get Back Together With Stitches And Glue
And Now That Song€™s Been Sung
It€™s Just The Cost Of What€™s Been Done
The Cost Of Taking A Walk With You
I Can Tell Myself
This Is For All Concerned€™s Health
And I May Yet Dot That I
Fill It Up And Pour It Down The Inside
And Tell You All Go And Take A Walk
And I Said All Y€™all Go Take A Walk
Tough Break Handjob Sent Me Back Home To Ma
Back To Cowtown And The Fish Shop And The Mall
Oh Yeah It Sent Me Right Back From Where I Came
And In The Interim Nothing Changed
So I May Yet Dot That I
Fill It Up And Pour It Down The Inside
Until You All Go And Take A Walk
And I Said All Y€™all Go Take A Walk
Equal opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all
Push me pull me way too far
One way or another someone's gonna take the fall
You'd better look at yourself
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made you last point baby
It's all I can take
Take a walk-
Take a long and loney walk
You better think about it
Come back with a whole new start
Case - I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk
A lover's cirme and punishment
Is do this, do that, and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now baby
Kau, ayu
Bertudung pelangi senja
Anggun tubuh
Harum ratus bunga
Seberkas cahaya merasuk
Seketika berkuasa
Degup jantung mendesah
"Jatuh daku..."
Kau, jernih
Bak air, batin terbaca
Welas asih
Dara tak bernoda
Seberkas cahaya merasuk
Seketika berkuasa
Lidah kelu berucap
"Luruh daku..."
Seribu malaikat berlagu
Ditingkah selaksa harpamu
Nyanyian kalbu, daku dalam genggammu
Oh...
Song: KLa Project
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.
Do you know what it's like not to give up?
Do you know how it feels to be hated?
I'm saying - do you know what it's like - I'll tell ya to
[Chorus:]
Tie yer boots tight (yer boots up, tie yer boots up)
And take a walk in my shoes
I dare you to try looking through my eyes - my eyes, my eyes
Let's take a walk! Let's take a walk in each other's shoes!
Do you know what it's like when they're on your back
When they try to bring you down - try to break you
I'm saying - do you know what it's like - I'll tell ya to
[Chorus]
Do you know what it's like not to give up
Just to keep on going sedated
Do you know what it's like - I'll tell ya to
[Chorus]
Yer boots are tied - and then you run!
Yer boots are tied - and then you run!
Yer boots are tied - and then you run!
Equal Opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all.
Push me, pull me, way too far
One way or another someone's gotta take
The fall, you better look at yourself
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made your last point baby
It's all I can take
Chorus:
Take a walk -
Take a long and lonely walk
You better think about it
Come back to a whole new start
Cause-I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk
A lover's crime and punishment
Is do this, do that and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now, baby
It's all I can take, so!
Chorus:
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

Everybody come on
Queens Bridge come on
South bronx come on

Everybody come on
Let's take a walk threw the deepest part of the hood
I wanna know who it was that said it was all good
He must of never been to the corner, and spent the half an hour
Longer, where you could smell reality stronger
Where they sell you grease in a box and hope that you die quicker
And if your old enough to walk to the store you can buy liqour
Where you can find a dice game at any time of the night
And somebody gets shot or stabbed every time theres a fight
Where cats die in the blue sky in the sunlight
And ya bound to get clowned for not holdin ya gun right
By little kids with great game cause they learned to take aim
At a young age, and to allude police, with a fake name
Hes tellin him, i'm Bobby Jackson from 3-B
When the fact is he's really Rashun from 4-D
Hey this is going out to your hood straight from mine
Ayyo, lets take a walk in blue skys and sunshine
Blue skys, sunshine
What a day to take a walk in a..
Overhere it's either rap hustle crack or play ball
And gats niggas carry ain't small
The cats that used to be kids when you ran the halls, is the drug lords
His broad the same chick that liked you from the 4th floor
Her older brother he the neighborhood bully
You and him cool but he keep playin ya boy cause he pussy
Where the old ladies be up in ya be-i
Callin 9-11 everytime you in the yard tryin to be high
Dice games could turn into a shootout quick
If you sayin he aced then he sayin he sixed
People waitin for the mail to get they check
And blue skys and sunshine you gotta give respect to get respect
You know
Blue skys, sunshine
What a day to take a walk in a..
Compton come on
Long beach come on
5th floor come on
Everybody come on
Brick CIty come on
Caprinne Green come on
West Philly come on
Everybody come on
And oh yeah, if you see a girl on the block be sure if you rush over
Cause 14 year old girls be dressin like the much older
See that one chick walkin the block tryin to get paid
Is in the same class as ya sister and still in the 10th grade
And ya might see ya neighbor, down at the corner Bodega
Buyin the malt liqour in exchange for a used sega
You can even buy ya clothes on the block, imagine that
From Versace to a cool-g sweater, and a matchin hat
See this cats got a big bag of stuff that he just stole
It's the same old routine, but it never gets old
And ya might catch a cab if you live on the right block
From Black Pearl to White Top yo they might stop
They got a bulletproof partition, cause niggas draw heat
But the driver, got a bigger one, up under the seat
See cats dont really wanna kill they tryin to eat
Yo ain't it a nice day to take a walk in the street
Lets go
Blue skys, sunshine
Take your left foot;
put it in front of the right.
Now, take your right foot,
put 'er down in front of the left.
Whoooeeee! Son, you are on your way, now;
you is going to take a walk.
Left foot, right.
Right foot, left.
Walk on down to the dry cleaners and pick
up your walkin' pants!
Left foot, right.
Right foot, left.
Walk on down to the post office and buy
some walkin'stamps!
Whooooeeee!
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
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.

my shadow stands alone
Do you feel lost in your place

Does anyone care to know what is it
That troubles you inside

A secret of the darkest kind A legion of 62 scientific minds The black sun did command Make a weapon that no man Or army could withstand Gerlock would lead them all A burden that he bore Succeed and win the war Build a force that's irresistible the source of their demise proportions so combustible Our victims vaporized Violence so unstoppable We're born to terrorize Fight fight for your life fight to the death die glocke Fight stand up and fight fight to death die glocke They constructed the device In a polish mine deep as hell Tortured steel with the shape of a massive bell From the north tower to the nest Take seven of your best and proceed with the first test The chamber fired a flash then quantum theory crashed The men were turned to ash They turned on the machine And they heard the engine whine Black technology xerum 525 Magnetic alchemy that no life form can survive Astonished by this wonder weapon Twisting space and time
[Chorus]
The called the mine the beehive for the wicked sound it made Near the polish border it was buried like a grave
[Lead Garcia]
All was lost for the Reich it was axis denied General Sporenberg had a cure to prescribe For silence to remain And the Reich to live again all 62 were slain No one was left to talk They flooded all the rock And saved us from die glocke How did the bell just disappear And vanish with no trace Some say it's in the amazon a secret Nazi base Or buried in Antarctica amongst the frozen waste Or did it fall in Necksburg from Andromedan space
[Chorus]
All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
And tomorrow's sun and buildings scrape the sky.
I love this country dearly
I can feel the latter clearly
But I never thought I'd be alone to try.
Once I was outside Penn station
Selling red and white carnations
We were still alone, my wife and I.
Before we married, saved my money
Brought my dear wife over.
Now I work to bring my family stateside.
Got off the boat, they stayed a while
then scattered 'cross the coast.
Once I'll year I'll see them for a week or so at most.
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Practice isn't perfect
but the market cuts a loss.
I remind myself that times could be much worse.
My wife won't ask me questions-
there's not so much to ask.
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse.
What's my mother lacking
Just to stay a couple nights
And decided she would stay the rest of her life.
And watch my little children
Play some boardgame in the kitchen
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife.
But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
He made some bad investments, now the accounts are overdrawn
I took a walk.
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Honey, it's your son, I think I borrowed just too much.
We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front.
And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young.
But tomorrow , you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids.
We can rip apart the socialists and all their damn taxes.
You'll see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees.
I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need.
I took a walk.
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
I took a walk
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
I used to be the girl
Nobody believed
Used to live inside a world
No one ever sees
And when the other girls
Ran around in town
I had my only friend
Buggin´ me around
Girl you got to get yourself
A rude attitude
Why should I belive in you
Cause you can do what you like
If you dig what you do
Your life will be better that way
Yeah you can do what you like
If you dig what you do
Let nobody get in your way
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
I remember just how it used to be
How bad I used to feel when they looked at me
Girl you got to be like we like
If you wanna hang
I won't let it happen it again
Cause you can do what you like
If you dig what you do
Your life will be better that way
Yeahh you can do what you like
If you dig what you do
Let nobody get in your way
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do

Doters of the silicon
Enslaved by self-design
Dependant on the life-blood

Each cry for understanding
Begins and ends at the grave--
From cradle to grave
Null and void emotion
Break free of this system
Opening eyes finding release
Each breath of inspiration
Begins and ends at the grave--
From cradle to grave
I'll find a key to lock the door
I won't let on that I'm afriad
Heaven,--Heaven I'm scared!

You're not a victim--
You're not anything
Only throwing away today, today--
Take a look!
I'm alive--
I breathe, I feel inside
Not just a toy
Not a fault you can overide
I want to be alone
If I could find a place to hide
Will you always be there
In every thought, every word
Oh you're so damn--
Clinical, useful and practical
Always fanatical,--controlled existence
Oh we may generate, design and integrate
but never,--we never simulate human reaction
Stand fast--
Take a look at yourself
In a moment realise
We are thinking today
Take a look, take a look
Take control of yourself
For a moment realise

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
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
Im thinking
of everything
and nothing
all at once.
Listening,
to people
and their worries
who shall bring
the thing to end all sorrow...
Why'd you have to do this to me...
[Chorus]
Looking around,
dreaming and wondering
thinking how,
seeing and feeling
always about you
(about you..)
[Bridge]
Maybe if I
quit my thoughts
about you
I can get on with my life...
[Inst.]
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
I looked at the face of the clock on the wall.
And it doesn't tell me nothing at all.
That face of the clock just stares at me.
It knows I'm lonely and always will be.
I want to cry my heart out.
Want my baby back with me.
Got nothing but time to step out.
But time means nothing to me.
If you hear me, please come back real soon.
'Cause the clock and I are so lonely in this room.
Instrumental break
I want to cry my heart out.
Want my baby back to me.
Got nothing but time to step out.
But time means nothing to me.
If you hear me, please come back real soon.
Lover take me to a quiet place
Where the shadows will not hide your face
It's so noisy and so crowded here
They won't notice if we disappear
Lover take me past the velvet ropes
To the moonlight with a ray of hope
There is something
You can do for me
You and only, you exclusively
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
Those times are gone
Lover take me to a quiet place
Where the shadows will not hide your face
Lover take me in you arms again
Show and tell me how we're more than friends
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
Those times are gone
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
There was a time I was alone
I wanted to be free
Those times are gone
All gone
I saw right into you
I swear that I knew
What was going to be
I saw right into you
I swear that I knew
Underage girls having seeds at the age of seventeen
Baby daddies signing up for the marines
Black streets filled with crack and pipe dreams
Fuck peace, niggas is purchasing red beams
P89s
Glocks
AR15s
It gets so hot, cops don't want to intervene
Cause they can get popped too, simple and plain
All the OGs dead, it's a new ballgame
A bunch of young guns in charge who ain't got heart
A few gave a listen to the lessons that was taught
Those who took heed was the ones who succeeded
The ones who didn't wound up sharing showers
The strong move silent
, the weak get devoured
Too many fake hustlers, the drug game is sour
Rather live like a animal than die like a coward
Writing lyrics in the midst of
powder lines
1989
Just trying to survive in these days and times
Just trying to survive in these days and times
Just trying to survive in these days and times
Cause where I'm from, brothers die everyday,
sunny CA
Understand the ecology on how we behave
Baseheads
, drive-bys, it's just how we was raised
Murder for capital
That's the mindstate that boosts the crime rate
Just lost soulds try'na find their way
Through this puzzle, every ghetto, N.Y. to L.A
Deep inside, I know it's time for a change, wish I could reach them
But I got both feet in the grave and still sinking
The environment'll drive you insane, flooded with demons
They motive is to get in your brain, make you a heathen
Even have you sniffing cocaine, slanging that reefer
I know a lot of niggas that pump, they claim they eating
They need to dumb it down, never seen a hundred thou'
Loudmouths with loose lips who unloyal
Fiends smoking out aluminum foil
Just to cope with life's ills, too much on my mind
Just trying to survive in these days and times
Just trying to survive in these days and times
Just trying to survive in these days and times
I swear, unity went out the window, what a shame
Back then we was all kinfolks, it ain't the same
I dream of that day when little kids can play in the streets
Not worried about getting hit by strays
Wish I didn't need herb to calm my nerves
Wish "peace" was more than just a five-letter word
It's hard to be optimistic
When you live on the same block as the killers who just got out of prison
Still walking with my head up, there got to be something better
Than this scene of police sirens and paramedics
That's my philosophy, you feel the same?
Let me turn off your TV.
Before you go crazy.
Come out for a while with me.
No dont be lazy?
Tall trees whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
Never know what we will see. Come take a walk with me.
Well I know youre weary now, and uninspired.
But if you stop going out. Youll just grow tired.
Tall tress whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
Never know what we will see. Come take a walk with me.
Dont wanna leave you but I cant stay, anymore.
When its a beautiful bright day outside the door.
Tall trees whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
"Go-betweens The Clock lyrics"
Candles and tambourines shine in the dusk
Monkees and spoonful float through the musk
Why when you come here
Does the rainbow turn black?
Spitting and burning, the vision attacks
But then the clock turns and it's now
And it's you
Ghosts from the river beg to get in
Staining my windows with pictures of sin
Sometimes the night time steals all your light
Then in the morning the birds lift and fly
But then the clock turns and it's now
