Carpatho-Rusyns or Ruthenes (Rusyn: Русины, Rusyns, also sometimes referred to as Carpatho-Russians or Rusnaks) are a primarily diasporic ethnic group who speak an Eastern Slavic language, known as Rusyn. Carpatho-Rusyns descend from a minority of Ruthenians who did not adopt the use of the ethnonym "Ukrainian" in the early twentieth century. The use of the term Rusyn was prohibited by some governments, as seen after 1945 in Soviet Transcarpathia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.
Today, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Serbia and Croatia officially recognize contemporary Rusyns (or Ruthenes) as an ethnic minority. In 2007, Carpatho-Rusyns were recognized as a separate ethnicity in Ukraine by the Zakarpattia Regional Council. Rusyns within Ukraine have Ukrainian citizenship, and most have adopted a Ukrainian ethnic identity. Most contemporary self-identified ethnic Rusyns live outside of Ukraine.
Of the estimated 1.2 million people of Rusyn origin, only 55,000 have officially identified themselves politically or ethnically as such, according to contemporary censuses.[who?] The ethnic classification of Rusyns as a separate East Slavic ethnicity distinct from Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians is, however, controversial. The majority of Ukrainian scholars, as well as some Rusyns when considering their self-identification, consider Rusyns to be an ethnic subgroup of the Ukrainian people. This is disputed by some Lemko scholars.
I prefer yellow roses to daisies
I'll take the mountains over a postcard view
I'll order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
That's why I chose him over you
I like to love somebody handsome rather than ugly
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Well I don't know how I ever did without him
And I don't understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when you're happy
So go ahead and think just what you want to
But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Just some of the reasons I chose him over you
Oh over you
Tell the dj turn it up
Beg the dj bring it back
Tell him play that sh-t again
Tell him that you like that
I know it's somebody's birthday,
Right now, right, right now
Somebody getting drunk too
Right now, right, right now
Fetch me in the club like I own that place
Shorty dancing like she on that dick
Bad b-tches never hold back
Send me a picture with your phone at
I only came here for two reasons
I came by...
I only came for the b-tches and the drinks
B-tches and the drinks, b-tches and the drinks
For the b-tches, came for
B-tches and the drinks, b-tches and the drinks
Baby can you get some
Only came for the b-tches and the drinks
Baby get your a-s up
In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
car full of weed

and like a chicken, put him in the pot then smother
life in the Rich, gotta think quick

but when they tagged his toe, the boy made the news
and like Spice said, from bodies to zags
from forties to funeral

hoochies wanna form lines
fiends on my shit

watchin them niggas ????
trying to get a fix
I walk with a limp, mean like a soldier
Colt 45, gone off that donja
Master P, the nappy head fool
don't give a fuck, don't play by no rules
rata-tat-tat, just like the Brat
P leaving suckas stuck on their back

struck him from the back, god damn watch his head open
throw him off the cliff, take him to the torcher ship
and this was who
I'll be like Shawn Kemp
dumpin bodies off straight to the morturary
Master P, in the hood, Black Dirty Harry
Richmond Balla, 23rd Street hustla

put the town on the map, that's the fucking like of crime
the hoods gettin hectic,
the P well respected
but got to pack some heat
incase some fool test me
17 reasons, to let go
Environmental chaos
Bombs falling down
Strong feed of the weak
No justice've ever been done
Religion shows it's ugly face
Masses opressed by lies
We seek to find the reasons
but there's no reason why...
Raisins come from grapes, people come from apes
I come from Canada
I came in first place in a nonexistent race
To rebuild the Parthenon
The Parthenon's in Greece or was it in Grease 2?
I can't keep my movies straight
When I make mistakes I use a lot of salt
'Cause salt makes m'steaks taste great
I don't want to be a bother
But I think the phone's for you
I've got orange pants, I wear them when I dance
But I don't get out that much
You are just too loud, I passed you in a crowd
Thank you and keep in touch
I don't speak Chinese, not even words like please
Thank you or how are you
But I can parle Français, I parled a bit today
It seemed like the thing to do
I don't want to be a bother

Now, I'm craving your body,
is this real
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and I'm; longing to love you
just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
with all my might
Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won't disappear
Oooh! And- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide
And, longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby
OOOHHH, Baby!
Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won't disappear
Oooh! And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise,
no longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
have no pri-ii-de
(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide
(Phillips last solo) Heeehhhhh, Ooooh, yeaahhh, Oohhh Baby,
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I love you ,my baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why I love ya....(fade to black)
The lights exploded
She stood burning in front of me
She ripped my heart out, and gave it to me
My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face
Have I begun a feeble chase
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
There's only everything standing in front of me
I know what you did to me
I know what you did was wrong
You're allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until I'm gone
I know you're the ticked, you gotta be
'Cos I let you be alone for long
Got to do something mean to me
Got to do something so I can't hang on
You're Killing Me X5
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
There's only everything standing in front of me
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
You're not mad, you're standing there
Set my sails out on a sunny day
Pretty soon I was on my way
Though what for sure it was
I could not say
Two thousand reasons
Maybe more
Eight hundred chances
On Faraway shores
Searching for something, searching for more
Deep inside me burning
Reasons for the learning
Now you can pick up reasons
So easily
Where you've been, and where you've got to be
And when the truth don't show, you'll always see
Lots of reasons
And pretty soon you've got a heavy load
dragging those reasons down an endless road
I got to thinking and I got to see
So many reasons, coming at me
The one that leaves you high and dry
He says you still owe him, there's a reason why
He'll leave you crying, till the tears run dry
He's the one, always the one, with all the reasons
So many reasons, they come and they go
The reasons for them, I'll never know
I've seen so many, they've come and they've gone
I've turned all mine in, and I'm happy with one
So don't talk o friendship, do it to me!
Make me an offer, and make it for free
Don't give me reasons, because I wrote that song
You can steal my eyes
Carve them out, I don't even need them
I don't wanna see anyone other than you
You cover your face
You're afraid to see the outcome
It's more than anyone person can bare
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
Pierce my heart, it useless
I don't even really need it
It belongs to nobody other than you
You can cut off my tongue
I'm speechless, a defeatist
And I'm wasting away, to nothing at your feet, so
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
If my heart is made out of gold
Than why does it feel like I'm here all alone?
And you take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
I'm hollowed out, can't you see?
You've ripped out my soul right from under me
Have little to show for anything
It's everything that you have hoped for
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
If my heart is made out of gold
Than why does it feel like I'm here all alone?
You take me for granted

It was the perfect excuse to get drunk
As if lately I've needed one
It Was the perfect excuse to buy bullets
For the barrel of my favorite gun
It was the perfect way to show you
How it feels inside of me
And the perfect way to find out
How it feels to set me free

I keep looking for reasons

But really, this won't take long

What he did when he broke up our home
And I'll be going now to a place I know
That's deep, dark and quiet
Away from pain and the undying shame

You wish that you could bear me black
D12 standing back
No planning that
Def methods, we got a hand in that
Whoever run this shit
You get a jammed knee cap
Make the healthy get sick
And your fam handicapped
You a fan of rap
My clan attack
Your school, home, your bitch house
Pull my nine milli
You gon' die with your fist out

Venom is this
cobra spit
Agressive dialect with agressive
Sober bitch
My bionic fires demonish atlonics
Demonic is tainted chronic
Impossible to hold down like vomit
Mics I palm it
You stay to bomb it
Like tourists that's Islamic
I enter your atmosphere like a comet
The new god of rap
Call me nigga Thor
Snap your back
When I slap your ass in a figure four
From miles around they can feel it's lethal
I make hardcore groups like Wu Tang
Look like the Village People (fags)
No sequel
The general let the senistal
Abort your mind state and kill your inner child
[Bizarre]
It's been a while
Since you bitch niggas heard of me
Cuz the last six months
I been doing R&B;
But now I'm on some sick shit
Niggas better duck quick
You don't know who you're fucking with
I'll leave you niggas breathless
Seeing me and Bugz rolling in the blue hummer
You a bitch, scared to shoot like Lindsay Hunter
Don't need to be a father
Cuz I'm just to illmatic
I'll probably poison my kids
Like flowers in the alley
Fuck your anorexic neglects it
Fuck a Lexus
I'm doing drivebys on XXX BMX's
[Bugz]
I know a girl who said she's prio
And her sign is a Leo
Bugzy fucked her in a Regal
And then she took me to my P.O.
Fuck rollin' ceelo
I'm down to a c-note
Lost a g' rollin' dice at that punk ass casino
But fuck it (shit) cuz when times get bad
See me and drag with the mags
On unsuspecting fags (bitch)
I gotta shoot
Bitch you got the boot
And hurry up with it
I'm trying to catch this prostitute (I got ten)
[Kuniva]
I'm the nigga that spotted ya
Spit something hot at ya
Rip your Nautica
Saw you backstage and shot at ya
And kill subliminally
You can go on
And spin your group name 25 times in one song
I'll still write about you
Hip hop is better off without you
Blowing niggas outta they bathrobes
And funky house shoes
For the hell of it
I fuck Missy Elliott
Don't give a fuck if her belly gets
In my way, I'm still nailing it
Got this verbal tech nine
Spitting at you for telling shit
Get this dead body off the mic
I'm fuckin smelling it
[Kon Artis]
Fuck it
Let's have a scrub out
Fuck around with us and see what happen
We all got them guns blappin
Got y'all niggas back tracking
Ya, we dump bodies in seashores
Busting DJs over they backs with keyboards
Turn up my levels
Your crew is fruitier than pebbles
Changin you razor back MCs to running trebles
Bust up
Kon Artis, quick to smack your slut up
Keep a pack of rubbers
Just in case I gotta nutt up
Brigade style hold 'em out down
That's how it's meant to be
You kick the same shit
Your whole tape sound like a symphony
Don't say shit to me
It's DP carry your daughter
Talking bitches outta they panties
Dollars and last quarters
Like that horsemen
I'll leave your whack crowns hutless
Watch Defarius come to my show
And leave dreadless
Whoever said this slash rapper and producer
Wouldn't make your head twist
Guard your grill and your necklace
[Chorus]
I got 6 reasons why we keep shit coming
Dirty Dozen left niggas running for cover
Hiding behind your lovers
Skirting off peeling rubber
As we shout
"DON'T FUCK WITH DIRTY DOZEN"
6 reasons why keep shit coming
Dirty Dozen left niggas running for cover
Hiding behind your lovers
Skirting off peeling rubber

Pick up my feet and I turn and walk away.

Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out - somehow
Others get caught in yesterday's papers
Too busy reading, to get on with living
But I - live for now
Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses
On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons
But where are they now?
Like I'm way too busy, I can't be involved now
And then there's the standby about understanding
But they're - wrong somehow
I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
Live for a lifetime
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
Give me a reason
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out - somehow
I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
LIve for a lifetime
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
come through me
subdue me
you arrive and I'm on fire
to explode that you inspired
in the name of all great liars

I'll just stare and hope you'll care

I know what you did was wrong
You're allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until I'm gone
I know you're the ticket, you gotta be

Got to be so completely
Got to be so I can't hang on

I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be

this world's heartless
clinic bombings
people starving
human failure
feed us cancer screaming for nothing
you're screaming for change
screaming for you
to not look the other way
screaming for nothing
you're screaming for change
screaming for you
to not look the other way
and I hope its not too late yeah
can't live this fucking way
can't call ourselves human
its all over now
can't call ourselves human
its all over now
we can't call ourselves human
its all over now
we can't call ourselves human
its all over now
its all over now
watch the water feed the soil
so the circle is complete
see what you have become
is the earth beneath my feet
i'll bring in the stains
your alabaster feet
what's the space between
what you want and what you need
so you'll never be lonely again
never be lonely again
waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you
who are you
and where are you in my life
i was wondering how much of me
is still alive
i don't even know
if i can swim again
you know how cold it gets
with all your struggling
try to find ourselves
seems real
it gets so hard at times
you know just what to feel
waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you
i got reasons
i got reasons
watch the water bleed the soil
albinoed by the sun
we will try to keep our feet
in the face of what we've done
try to find ourselves
see this, what we made?
tell me what you want
and what you have betrayed
home is still the place
that we love the most
home is where you are
I rode from TJ up to Berkeley
And it started out so grey
Till I lost that cool protection
When the sun burned it all away
While the winter's light shined down on those
Revivals from my day
I had dreams of your insurrection
Taken down by Monterey
I don't care for the season
I don't find it that fun
And I've got 21 reasons
I've got 21 reasons
And there go 22 singers on the run
First I saw the digits crawling
Slowly up the rocky coast
Just some separated fingers
Looking for their fingerpost
From the water jumped a bloody hand
Needing desperately a host
When I saw the bald bell ringers
Well I knew then that you were toast
I don't care for the season
I don't find it that fun
And I've got 21 reasons
I've got 21 reasons
And there go 22 singers on the run
Then went up the baby babels
Where the iron bells were hung
They couldn't get them any higher
And those iron bells were rung
With the singers now all gathered
They collected every tongue
And so now it was required
For every soul to turn the dung
I don't care for the season
I don't find it that fun
And I've got 21 reasons
I've got 21 reasons
And there go 22 singers on the run
Well you sure can hear a rumble
On the royal road today
And those grand halls of correction
Well I think that they're here to stay
From the time that you are born
There are certain bells you must obey
Best you plan for the resurrection
Best you lower your head and pray
I don't care for the season
I don't find it that fun
And I've got 21 reasons
I've got 21 reasons
And there go 22 singers on the run
21 reasons
21 reasons
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
It's a Saturday night
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Uh uh, it's a Saturday night
Full crew stepping at the function
Keith Lawrence is a weapon of mass destruction
Brixton DJ and he played the funk, son
A local hero yo, but now he ain't unsung
Jimmy brought rum, he looking for clean cups
No snacks here, you won't be dancing on peanuts
Strictly hot food, keep you nice and strong
So you can go on and on and last long
Every time I hear this song, this song
I will be played deep brown, the place teared down
Dangerous on the door, seen it all before
Coats and bags on the floor by the decks
Me next to DJ, I carry the swing
[Incomprehensible] as he exercising
Everybody moving as a unified swing
Gentle up and down fingertips rolling salsa
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Mark and Devo in the corner, heading on in by the speaker
Dressed cool, never known to freak
Outside by the pool on chairs and bars stools
Are the lovers long term manually discovered
Some for romance, sum in each others pants
Some debutantes with pool side veterans
What better than you catch a cross delta
And grab a kiss with the moon? That's the number what a
Food still hot 'cause your pot's still steaming
Casey screaming, he's not doing the cleaning
While he's leaning back with a large grin left
After him party would simply start again
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
This is how I make the party sway
Yo, I got more styles than Amsterdam got ashtrays
I blaze in the shadows with my compadres
And I stay close to home where I'm known to praise
I was raised down south where running your mouth
Is something my people know all about
It's a semi professional pastime, gotta get the last line
You know it's your shout
It's a Saturday night
Come again
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Everytime I try to explain
all you want to do is walk away
gonna get you baby-gonna get the message through to you
You don't understand when I'm not there
then you tell my friends that I don't care
In case you didn't get it..I'm gonna spell it out for you
REASON 1 - You don't want me
REASON 2 - You don't need me
REASON 3 - You don't care I'm alive
Do you, do you, do you want 4 and 5 ???
REASON 4 - Im so helpless
REASON 5 - You couldn't care less
gimme , gimme , gimme a reason
I don't wanna hear another good GOODBYE
I know everything you say is true
baby I feel the same way too
we belong together
gonna get the message through to you
but I don't understand the way you are
all you wanna do is break my heart
in case you didn't notice
I'm gonna spell it out for you
REASON 1 - You don't want me
REASON 2 - You don't need me
REASON 3 - You don't care I'm alive
Do you, do you, do you want 4 and 5 ???
REASON 4 - Im so helpless
REASON 5 - You couldn't care less
gimme , gimme , gimme a reason
I don't wanna hear another good GOODBYE
Gimme a reason to make me love you baby, gimme a reason to have you back again...
REASON 1 - You still want me
REASON 2 - You still need me
REASON 3 - You still care I'm alive
Do you, do you, do you want 4 and 5 ???
REASON 4 - Im so helpless
REASON 5 - I need your kiss
gimme , gimme , gimme a reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without reason
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without reason
Little children don't you feel so sad
When you come home feeling lost and bad
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Oh woman, I gave my heart to you
When I found out what you've been through
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart, how could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without a reason in my heart, how could you know?
(I know)
When they find you crying sorrows tears
And it's too late after all these years
You got a reason, gimme that reason
It's boys be strong and girls be weak
But children, careful how you speak
You got a reason, gimme that reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart, how could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and don't you know?
I believe in love
I believe in you baby
What about love?
Give it to me, you gotta give me a reason baby
Little children don't you feel so bad
When you come home feeling lost and sad
You gotta reason
I still feel your presence
Although you're not here
Your voice your smile and laughter
Is now replaced with fear
I'm holding on to memories
That slowly fade away
Force my self to hold on
And to live for one more day
Time is a two-faced creature
Of mercy and of pain
No way to control it
All efforts is in vain
Destiny is lawless
It makes up its own rules
Together they are mocking
And make us look - make us look like fools
Give me reasons to leave
Turn around and walk away
Give me reasons to stay
And be a part of this world once again
Give me reasons to leave
Turn around and walk away
Give me reasons to stay
You held the fate of my life in your hands
I thought I could handle everything
I thought that I was strong
Life was running flawless
And nothing could go wrong
But I froze when I saw it coming
Oh, the turning of tide
Washed away in sadness
With no place for me to hide
Give me reasons to leave
Turn around and walk away
Give me reasons to stay
And be a part of this world once again
Give me reasons to leave
Turn around and walk away
Give me reasons to stay
And be a part of this world once again
Give me reasons to leave
Turn around and walk away
Give me reasons to stay
[Verse 1]
I’m respected in this game, I rocked every spot I been in,
While you can’t show your face like Islamic women rockin’ linen,
But I’m stuck livin’ in mom’s house without a fuckin’ bed,
‘Cause these major labels put out “Wack Emcees” like Pumpkinhead,
So I ain’t touchin’ bread, I been duckin’ feds,
And even hustle for myself; i spent it on some cunt instead,
Got nothin’ left, every breathe is harder than the last,
Success seems out of reach slippin’ further in the past,
That’s why I’m trashed, sparking up this hash in a session,
Packing up more angel dust than the attic in heaven,
That’s why I’m pissed off like having a bladder infection,
With a broken caffita left in my dick while i have an erection,
It got me liable to snap in a matter of seconds,
Pullin’ Mac-11’s like Pun from the back of a ________
I just think of my future, past and the present,
Try to capture the essence and find some sort of lasting impression,
But all I found is a corrupt cop’s act of aggression,
Grabbin’ me and smashing my head in with the back of his weapon,
That’s why I’m beyond the blessings of a catholic confession,
And why I take cash when the plates past for collection,
I’ve had it with been the illest rapper to step in,
Lacking success in the game where dudes bite like they won’t have a reflection,
I’ve had it with these labels so I’m breaking the mould,
Coz’ they ain’t just taking creative control, they taking my soul.
[Hook]
The reason I’m a liar, the reason I’m a thief,
The reason that I steal, the reason that I cheat,
Is the reason you avoid me when I’m walking down the street,
And it’s probably the same reason I’ll end up deceased.
The reason I’m a liar, the reason I’m a thief,
The reason that i steal, the reason that I cheat,
Is the reason that I wile out and riot in the street,
And it’s the same reason my fuckin’ life will never have peace.
[Verse 2]
Yo, I think about hip-hop and how they just take it away’,
Coz’ i grew up when Wu Tang got rotation on radio play,
But nowadays if I say shit I’m nothin’ but a hater,
Till i pull a rusty razor and cut your face like “fuck your paper”,
Maybe I’m mad because labels use food-stamps to pay me,
But i can’t be the only one that would rather hear Bootcamp than Jay-Z,
So yeah I’m underground and my fans are backpackers,
But at least my fans don’t buy mixtapes full of wack rappers,
I can’t front, I listen when I’m in the club grabbin’ tits,
And the bass is so loud I don’t hear the trash you spittin’,
All that glamour, glitz and packs of crack you flippin,
Won’t be real till you stop braggin’ and say it was a bad decision,
If you’re anything like me you’re poor with a tortured past,
Getting beat by pace coz’ your pants are half off your ass,
Ain’t tossin’ cash in photographs with some camera crew,
You is black and blue in handcuffs on New York Avenue,
That’s the truth, that’s the reason I’m almost suicidal,
Feelin’ outta place like Muslims with a Jewish bible,
Been taking drama from my baby mama, now my mind is gone,
Weight of the world's on my shoulders and eight planets piled on,
Rifle drawn, pointed at the cops when you callin’ em’,
Six million ways to die, i’ll try all of em’,
Holdin’ a glock and squeezing untill they stop my breathing,
I know I’m crazy, don’t ask me why, i got my reasons.
[Hook]
The reason I’m a liar, the reason I’m a thief,
The reason that I steal, the reason that I cheat,
Is the reason you avoid me when I’m walking down the street,
And it’s probably the same reason I’ll end up deceased.
The reason I’m a liar, the reason I’m a thief,
The reason that i steal, the reason that I cheat,
Is the reason that I wile out and riot in the street,
Were no different from the rest
Sometimes we argue and got to bed mad
(Stay on your side)
Sometimes I hate my best friend (tooking all my nerves)
But I'm gonna love you girl 'cause you're better than the rest.
[Chorus:]
We go back before (people always say)
But we... but then just can't relate.
Don't we make fight most of the time
In front the outside doesn't look right
(Doesn't look right)
I know it's time... clarify
They don't like I do what make to love you.
And then go the reasons why why why
Here goes the reason why why why
Here go the reason why.
Sometimes you're my enemy hate to love you
But it seems to promise...
They just don't get you and me
But we may... public which you don't embarrase me
Yeahh
[Chorus:]
We go back before (people always say)
But we... but then just can't relate.
Though we make fight most of the time
In front the outside doesn't look right
(Doesn't look right)
I know it's time I will clarify
They don't like I do what make to love you.
And then go the reasons why why why
Here goes the reason why why why
Here go the reason why.
The reasons, reasons ohh
The reason ohh
The reasons ohh
[Chorus: x2]
Though we make fight most of the time
In front the outside doesn't look right
(Doesn't look right)
I know it's time I will clarify
They don't like I do what make to love you.
Why why why?
(M. Riperton R. Rudolph)
The reasons for my life are in a million faces
Like aching promises I feel them in my bones
Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
The reasons for my life are more than I can hold
But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone
The reasons for my life are buried in deep places
Words once could awaken them
these seeds that I have sown
Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold
The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold
The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
Nothing is real
but its real if you want it to be
(Ideas in my mind none self subsisting)
Look forward to life all of your life.
Just your life not a dream
( Hello I've been waiting to meet you)
So turn around you will still feel
that the real is deep inside
I have opened all my doors
so there's nothing left to hide
I said it
Live in your hole
Box your soul
Without hope pride or faith
(depend on full attempt of boundary)
turn around before you fear
what you've found
(Turn around and
face me now)
Your faced down
(So turn around)
started out sweet as heaven
told you i could give you all my loving
and all the loving in the world couldn't ease your pain
twenty five, stuck in motion
working hard like an empty ocean
all the money in the world couldn't ease my pain
you have my reasons, lord i have mine
don't call me baby, don't even try
you have your freedom, lord i have mine
don't call me baby, don't waste your time
would have climbed the highest mountain
would have held you deepest passions
would have died in your arms with your name on my grave
tell myself everyday is better
close my eyes and forget the weather
you can have a world of women but you'll never have me
so you have your reasons, lord i have mine
don't call me baby, don't even try
you have your freedoms, lord i have mine
don't call me baby, don't waste your time
so you have your reasons, lord i have mine
don't call me baby, don't even try
you have your freedoms, lord i have mine
1... your smile, don't have to say no more
2... your guidance and all the things you show me
3... the way you look at me when you say "I love you"
4... your headstrong personality
5... your take-charge capability
6... I love the way you cook for me
Beef roast, white rice with gravy
I'll give you 25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I can give you 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you
7,8,9... the roses, the massages, the cards you give for no reason at all
10... the way you spend on me even though I got my own money
11... for always being yourself regardless of how I or anyone else felt
12... the way you don't trip on me when I'm in the studio real late
Like right now
25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I got 25 reasons why I'm....
Wait a minute - I don't need no backgrounds to tell you the rest, baby
13... knowing just what I need even when I didn't make it clear for you to see
14... for being understanding when that time comes, you know what I mean
15... for your beauty, inside and out
And to close it out, 16 through 25 is for
All the chicks you coulda hit, but you didn't because of your love for me
I could give you 25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I can give you 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you
I could give you 25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I can give you 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you... oh
I had to catch my breath for a minute
So many emotions are coming out in this song, oh
Have you ever loved somebody? Have you ever loved somebody?
Come on ladies, help me sing...
25 reasons why I'm really in love with you (I am so in love with you)
I can give you 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you (ohhhh)
25 reasons why I'm really in love with you (I'm so in love with you
and it's really more than) 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you
25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
(Juan Luis Guerra)
Inspiración: Poema 15 de Pablo Neruda
Nos encontramos una tarde
bajo el sol de primavera
tú caminando entre mis pasos
yo vistiéndome en tus huellas
Y nos amamos cara a cara
y nos besamos en la calle
y tanto amor se fue fundiendo
que ahora no puedo olvidarte
Mil razones para amarte
tú eres mi razón primera
mil poemas en la calle y yo
yo rodando donde quiera
Y así tu amor me fue naciendo
como un río de agua errante
tu buque atraca [en] un viejo puerto
siembro anclas en tu talle
Ya nos amamos cara a cara
ya nos besamos en la calle
ahora pregunto si a esta altura
vida, puedes olvidarme
Mil razones para amarte
tú eres mi razón primera
mil poemas en la calle y yo
yo rodando donde quiera
¡Oye!
[Improv.]
Y llenar las tardes de cariño
me sobran mil razones
para que atraques en mi puerto y ancles conmigo
me sobran mil razones
¡oye!, que nuestro amor se va fundiendo, ya no te
olvido
me sobran mil razones
y besarnos en la madrugada
me sobran mil razones
para amarte de amapola y trigo
Ey, ey, o lo lo lo, le le lei...
Para amarte con tu piel de abrigo
me sobran mil razones
tú caminando entre mis pasos, ya no te olvido
me sobran mil razones
y yo rodando por tu cuerpo como rocío
me sobran mil razones
me basta la aurora desnuda
me sobran mil razones
para amarte de amapola y trigo
Ey, ey, o lo lo lo, le le lei...
Y llenarlo con tu espacio todo
me sobran mil razones
cuando me das de cara a cara sobra cariño
me sobran mil razones
y un beso me cierra la boca
me sobran mil razones
nos encontramos una tarde, noche que ansío
me sobran mil razones
tengo una casita de cayenas y colores para estar
contigo
Oh...
Así tu amor me fue naciendo
como un río de agua errante
tu buque atraca [en] un viejo puerto
siembro anclas en tu talle
Ya nos amamos cara a cara
ya nos besamos en la calle
ahora pregunto si a esta altura
vida, puedes olvidarme
Mil razones para amarte
tú eres mi razón primera
mil poemas en la calle y yo
She moves with me, her body's the answer
Taking her time, the saddest of dancers
Changing her mind, changing yours as days go by
She tastes so sweet but stays with you after
Takin' like thieves and leave a disaster
Make-believe love, it always comes and goes too fast
The love goes
Just as quickly as it came
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm actin' strange like I don't know myself
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
I guess the only way to go is down
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
She's losin' sleep but he don't deserve her
Everyone sees he'll only desert her
Prey upon on her guilt and prey upon her every fear
It cuts so deep and touches her inside
Shakin' like leaves, afraid it's the wrong time
Tell me you remember, tell me that it's not too late
The love goes
Just as quickly as it came
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm actin' strange like I don't know myself
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
I guess the only way to go is down
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
'Cause love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love won't come and go
Love
I'm actin' strange like I don't know myself
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
I guess the only way to go is down
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
I'm actin' strange like I don't know myself
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Hey, hey, hey
I guess the only way to go is down
(What you say?)
You give me reasons
Tainted words,
all the while that I sit here listening,
they destroy my whole will to obey.
And they say,
that I shouldn't care I shouldn'‚t want,
to need You like I know I need You now.
And when I turned on the reasons,
You were there watching all the while,
I should have shut down my anger,
but I was too proud.
Belly up,
sounds that only hatred could express,
found their way into my weary head.
I repent,
take away all those words I hear,
and make them go away I need Your love.
Believe me, I never thought that I would sin like this, again.
Running fleeing trying to get away,
from the path I knew I strayed.
Broken faithless I was then,
Reasons
They keep giving reasons
They say in these seasons
The season is blood
Reasons
They keep giving reasons
They say in these seasons
The season is blood
Let the dogs
Let the dogs
Let the dogs lie
And then
Let the dogs
Let the dogs
Let the dogs die
With you
I know that you don't want to be
Out of here
I know that you have got that
Inner fear
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
The city is aching from
Two thousand years
The city is rattling with a
Million fears
Reasons
They're looking for reasons
They say in this season
The season is death
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
The city in dusk
Her amber belly
Her velvet eyes
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Reasons
There's got to be reasons
They say in these season
The season is fear
Let the child
Let the child
Let the child speak
Let the child
Let the child
Let the child wreak
Havoc
Its blood spilling under the
Cedar tree
Its blood saying that you're
On your knees
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
The city in dusk
Her amber belly
Her velvet eyes
Her lovers that lust
Her favours many
With no disguise
Over run by one
Over run by the other
Over run by one
Over run by the other
The city in dusk
Her amber belly
Her velvet eyes
Over run by one
Over run by the other
I'm leaving this summer, I want to break out
I'm leaving this drama, That's all you're about
I'm leaving the anger, can anyone see?
This is not me
You're holding too tightly to words that aren't true
And I'm finding myself stuck between all of you
The troubles not ending, you hearts growing cold
And there is no hope
Burning me
I'm leaving forever
How can I take all these problems you're bring me
Now I've lost control
I'm leaving to find all
The things that were right in my life
I'm trying to start this all over
I'm learning to feel, but can you say the same?
I'm learning to get myself out of this game
I'm learning to fix all the rules that they broke
But there is no hope
Holding too tightly to words that aren't true
And I'm finding myself stuck between all of you
The troubles not ending, you hearts growing cold
And there is no hope
Burning me
I'm leaving forever
How can I take all these problems you're bring me
Now I've lost control
I'm leaving to find all
The things that were right in my life
I'm trying to start this all over
Running away
Running away
Running away to find that one
It's never too late
Never too late
Never too late to find that one
And I'm running away
Running away
Running away to find that one
It's never too late
Never too late
Never late to find that one
I'm leaving forever
How can I take all these problems you're bring me
Now I've lost control
I'm leaving to find all
The things that were right in my life
Death for truth or death for a lie, the value of life depends upon you.
Some choices are wise; some choices are foolish,
But this false stance will never see you through
It's always been about your well being.
You wouldn't trade all trace of that for a game
The disease of guilt will torment you; the pain it brings completes the shame
Reason I'm believing€
You can't tell me that you would have lied if it were you.
You can't tell me that you would have died if it weren't true.
Count up your cost there has to be something more.
You wouldn't lay down your life with nothing to die for.
Could you fuel a fire to live a lie?
I suggest you be careful 'bout what you say.
Could you sweat big drops of blood to convince me it's gonna be a long day?
Search your heart; see if you've got the love it takes to let them nail you to a cross.
Find the scars; find the stripes to forgive the culprits for the cost
Would you die for something you never believed?
Would you die for someone who hated you?
Reason I'm believing€
I fail to find the logic behind why a hated man would lay down his life.
Count up your cost there has to be something more.
You wouldn't lay down your life for nothing.
Hey! it`s time to stop treat you bad, mami you
terrified me every nigth `cause you don`t have
reason to die, please realize you have many
reasons to continue still alive, por favor ooohh!!
I know it`s so hard outside, but happiness is not so far.
Hey! we understand you feel frustrated all
the days but please try to find, try to find you
everyday `cause you don`t hace reason, don`t have
reason to die.
Oh! por favor you have many reasons
to still alive (nosotros por ejemplo no?).
Se que esta duro afuera pero la felicidad no esta tan
Nos encontramos una tarde bajo el sol de primavera
tu caminando entre mis pasos yo vistiendome en tus huellas
y nos amamos cara a cara y nos besamos en la calle
y tanto amor se fue fundiendo que ahora no puedo olvidarte
Mil razones para amarte
tu eres mi razon primera
mil poemas en la calle ahy yo
yo rodando donde quiera
Si tu amor me fue naciendo como un rio de agua herrante
tu boca atraco un viejo puerto siembro anclas en tu talle
y nos amamos cara a cara y nos besamos en la calle
y tanto amor se fue fundiendo que ahora no puedo olvidarte
Mil razones para amarte
tu eres mi razon primera ahy yo
mil poemas en la calle ahy yo
yo rodando donde quiera
Me sobran mil razones y un beso me cierra la boca
me sobran mil razones
me sobran mil razones nos encontramos una tarde noche quien siguio
me sobran mil razones
te sobran mil razones pa escuchar voz veis
tengo una casita de callenas y colores para estar contigo
Your reasons ain't reasons, so don't get us wrong
Season by season, you were holding us down
Don't come up with reasons, don't come along
We got one million reasons, one is blood on the ground
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Where did it start Lord, where will it end
Silver and gold taking over control
A fancy-dress ball people playing their role
So who are you fighting if you are just fighting for
yourself
Where are your running if you are just running 'round
yourself
The role you are playing is playing you pretty well
You better wake up before you are a story which they
tell
Your reasons ain't reasons, so don't get us wrong
Season by season, you were holding us down
Don't come up with reasons, don't come along
We got one million reasons, one is blood on the ground
Life is a circle we are going on and on
The bridges you built are the ones you'll burn down
Today you're here amd tomorrow you are gone
Wanna be the leader in the house of the rising sun
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Silly and blind, deaf and confused
It's raining blood and there is ash in the sky
You 're heading to death and it is love you crucify
So who are you fighting if you are just fighting for
yourself
Where are your running if you are just running 'round
yourself
The role you are playing is playing you pretty well
You better wake up before you are a story which they
tell
Your reasons ain't reasons so don't get us wrong
Season by season you were holding us down
Don't come up with reasons, don't come along

REASONS
He's hurting
got the truth too soon
unplanned. no reason to drag it out of you
clever sleight of hand
never forget how your doubt can fade
the stories that we tell lead our way
but why do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess what we can really have
but why is all I ask
how far should I go
your thoughts are way ahead of you
how did your sky fall
something someone said was it even true
what do you long to find would it even help
the stories in your mind that never end
but why. do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess
what we can really have
but why is all I ask
but why do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess. what we can really have
Ohhh
All those times you kept me waiting
Staying up late, anticipating
Your empty words, I'll be home in a while
And each one that passes will never come back no
Whatever happened with the communication
Close together, midnight conversations
You always say, in a day or a week
And each one that passes will never come back no
We can toss this back and forth but that is never
gonna make it fine
Please be mine
Cos our love has been a battle but we need to leave
the past behind
After all this time
I'm all for you
So many reasons, too many stories (baby)
I've heard 'em all, is this what love is
I've had enough, did I deserve this? (did I deserve
this?)
Don't let me lose you this way
No, oh ohhh
Ohhh
I'm on my knee's (I'm on my knee's) lets talk about it
So many days without your loving (without your love)
If you're not here I'm slowly dying (I'm slowly dying)
Don't let our love slip away (don't let me lose you
this way)
We have to find a common language
Without enough misunderstandings
I always thought what is lost can be found
And each time you touch me I know we'll be fine
I just want us to stay together
Forget the past, oh it doesn't matter
I know that you feel the same as I do
And each time we touch I just know we'll be fine
We can toss this back and forth but that is never
gonna make it fine
Please be mine
Cos our love has been a battle but we need to leave
the past behind
After all this time
I'm all for you
So many reasons, too many stories (baby)
I've heard 'em all, is this what love is
I've had enough, did I deserve this? (did I deserve
this?)
Don't let me lose you this way
No, oh ohhh
Ohhh
I'm on my knee's (I'm on my knee's) lets talk about it
So many days without your loving (without your love)
If you're not here I'm slowly dying (I'm slowly dying)
Don't let our love slip away (don't let me lose you
this way)
So many reasons, too many stories (baby)

Can't you hear me awaitning
Listen to the sounds of your mind
And everything I've been saying
Don't you see or are you blind?
These are the reasons- Take a look around
Another season- all the things you've found
These are the reasons- lying on the ground
Hear me call your name
All the things I say
Can't you see me walking
I'm trying to find my way to you
And all the things I've been saying
Are from my heart tried and true
These are the reasoons- Take a look around
Another season- all the things you've found
These are the reasons- lying on the ground
Hear me call your name
Help
I don't know what to do, and I'm depending on you, to see me through
Help
When trouble comes my way and I don't know what to say, Lord have your way
[Chorus:]
Help Me
Help me
Help me
Help me
Help
When I don't understand what's in your master plan, and I need you direction
Help
When I am all alone, and I need someone to call on, to love me and care for me
[Chorus:]
Help me
Help me
Help me
Help me
[Verse:]
Lord I need your help
Just can't make it, no without your help
OOOHHHH
Lord I need you help
Just can't make it no, without your help
[Bridge:]
I need your help
Just can't make it with out your help
[Vamp:]
I have tried over and over again
But I just can't make it
With out you help
[Chorus:]
Help me
Help me
Help me
40 reasons why I often wonder
Bought a girl who lead me on through the thunder and the rain
Why don't you ever hold me
I don''t believe you told me
40 reasons why I am singing
My head is turning and my heart is stinging and
You have got me on a string
That kind of love can be a lonely thing
growing old gives people the blues but
growing older always gets you confused
I been working and I sit for a while
and my mind wanders to your distant smile
I bend down to tie my shoe
lord knows right then that I am thinking of you
I am listening to my favorite band
and I am wishing I was holding your hand
I keep hopin' that one day you'll see
and you'll go looking for a man like me cause
I am like a song without notes
with out you, without you
I am like a little boy without hope
without you, without you
I am like the moon without the sun
dark and lonely cause your the only one.
Hear what I say
I'm dark and lonely - I'm dark and grey
I'm dark and lonely in and of the day
