Kharhmah
Mountain

All these dreams, and all these plans,
I built them up with these two hands,
And everything, I've realised, my dreams
The city light shine down
And they blind me sometimes,
But through it all, i was lost,
But i found my way

So tell me what you want,
Cause i would give you anything
Rell me what you need and I'll go get it
I'd give up all these dreams,
To have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'll forget it
I wasnt on a mountian, when it came to me

That all my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams
So here we are
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me
And all these dreams, and all these prayers, and what I've gained,
It cant compare to the love,
That you could give to me

So tell me what you want,
Cause i would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it
I'd give up all these dreams,
to have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'll forget it
I wasnt on a mountian, when it came to me

Years go by, and nothings slowing down the time,
Years go by and then they're wasted
Walled inside, i thought that I'd gained evrything,
But you're not mine and im so empty

I wasnt on a mountian, when it came, when it came to me
That all my lifes been wasted, chasing shallow dreams
So please come back to me, im right here waiting
So please come back to me, im right here waiting

My dog

Damn I lost my dog
Damn I lost my dog
Is he behind the sofa?
Is he behind the chair?
Is he in the blender?
No! He's over there!

He's in the fire!
He's in the fire!
And he exploded

Finish.

Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total *******.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate
our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action
I should play GOD
and shoot you myself.
I'm very tired of waiting.

I should
kick you,
beat you,
**** you,
and then shoot you in your ****ing head.

"Warning"


This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May Impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker


Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.


Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: Police line, you better not cross.
Is it the cop, or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Or shut up and be a victim of authority

its GOT to be 2pac's changes - such depth and meaning in_love

I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

Alpha Centauri
I never did get that. Seriously.

"The world is bad."

Yes 2Pac, we get it.

Bic Runga - She left on a monday... (Deep Personal Meaning...)

She left on a Monday
She's a siren down the road
In your herringbone overcoat
That you don't expect to get back

And it's an ordinary sky
Today's like any other day
When all of the aeroplanes
Write her name in the clouds

And nothing's wrong
But it's already Sunday
And you know just how Sunday
Was the day that she would come around?

Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her

It's all like sinking
You're trying to stay afloat
Like a wind blown paper boat
Over uncharted sea

There's no question why
You're driving to kill some time
Racing the power lines
Back into town

Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her

Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her

loserib
heres a few that i have writtin
die hard
You will try to destory our lives but you cant keep us controlled
Wont believe your rules their just old tools to make us do what were told

pills are what they use
to keep us subdued
dosile and overdosed
treat everyone the same way
always ****ing happy
as they turn us to clones

i dont believe in it
what i cant see in it
i dont aggree in it
never push me again

when we meet die hard
in the streets die hard
when we meet die hard
people like me die hard

every day they will try to take away all your individuality
they make you feel like your not real and dont fit in the scheme of things

a padded cell
is where you dwell
when you dont aggree
there you'll stay
locked away
till your convinced your crazy

i dont believe in it
what i cant see in it
i dont aggree in it
never push me again

when we meet die hard
in the streets die hard
when we meet die hard
people like me die hard

you dont have to be afraid
theres no one there to save you
live your life your way
they will try to change you
remember thats its just a game
the ****ing game that plays you
its all right to be strange
after they inslave you

bruise the body and break the will
medicate till we sit still
take and take they never get their fill

never let them get away with what they will do to you
we have to make them pay
a payment thats way past due

dont you buy into their lie that they will try to sell to you
telling you whats cool as you play their fool its your mind they abuse

the bible tells us we'er sheep
how long will we be asleep
when will we awake from this dream
if you think im wrong
then answer me why it is your on your knees
when you pray

i dont believe in it
what i cant see in it
i dont aggree in it
never push me again

when we meet die hard
in the streets die hard
when we meet die hard
people like me die hard

people like us
die hard

take a look inside of a mirrors eyes
tell me do you see something you like
to religion you devote all of life
but when night fall comes you give your self to so many guys

then the next day
you pray all you sins away
all in the comfort
of your church and your cross
when you realize
and see through all the lies
but in the end its your soul that is lost

terra
betrayed by god
terra
betrayed by god
terra

you condem the way that i live my life
well take alook at your self because its just not right
up on your high horse living a lie
i see through your mask and your ****ing diguise

you can help your self some more
deep inside your core
just wait patiently
and quit trying to
change me
all will be told in time

terra

as the end, it draws nearer, many can't help, help but fear, for everything, that's so dear
{god}
freedom is here, already rung, many will be, they will be hung, it will be death, the song you sung
{lies}

many will be, barried alive, it is to live, that you will strive, only with luck, will you survive
{god}
the fear of death, keeps you alive, killing you, helps me survive, your suffering, will help me strive
{lies}

you'll say you'll pray for me and i cannot see why
you say i need saving and im mixed up inside
i wish you would take a minute and just step back
and see what I say just might be right

you can open your minds door
stop being such a whore
try not to ignore
you time is now
the end is near
say your last prayer hope it helps my dear

and here two im working on now

No regrets
NO REGRETS

i wish i had known
the story before they closed
the book that was my life
and if i could see
two miles up the road
would i have thought twice
about this here path
that i have choose
another place another time
but its to late to stress
the what could have been
the memories that slither through my mind

as i pick
up the pieces
of the puzzle
that has been falling

away from
my broken hands
with no regrets
this man stands

with no regrets this man stands


so when you stop to take a breath
pull real deep off your ciggeret
can you say i got mine
all that you deserve
everything that your worth
hopefully you will realize
what might happen can
no way to understand
with out a reason or a ryme
so just lay on back
and take another drag
and remember that you are fine

as you pick
up the pieces
of the puzzle
that has been falling

away from
your broken hands
with no regrets
you can stand

with no regrets you can stand

to late to take it back
everything that you had
said i dont understand
but still i tried
and its to hard to hide
all of the tears i have cried
how could i have shown
that your not alone
and theres someone on your side
but still you run away
from what what might make you happy
but thats what one day i hope you might find

as i pick
up the pieces
of the puzzle
that has been falling

away from
my broken hands
with no regrets
this man stands

with no regrets this man stands

and dreams come true
tonight i saw her again
in this dream i had
tonight i saw her again
but it wasint with me

my faers come to life
when ever i close my eyes
she is allways there
even if she is not mine
then the morning comes
and i begin to realize
that she never really was
no matter how hard i had treid
trying to to learn all the facts
dont know how to act
playin in a sharede
dont know when i lost my way
dances in a maskurade
with out a ****ing mask


tonight i saw her again
in this dream i had
tonight i saw her again
but it wasint with me
tonight i saw her again
in this dream i had
tonight i saw her agian
tonight i saw her
tonight i saw her again
in this dream i had
tonight i saw her again
but it wasint with me

then i begin to see
this dream is now my reality
cant tell when im awake or alseep
my demons walk in the daytime
my friends whare there disguise
everybody seems to know how to fix me
dont know if i can make it back
ran to far off the track

The beat 4 this song is dumb HOTT!!!! big grin

If there's beef, cock it and dump it
The drama really means nothin'
To me I ride by 'n blow ya brains out(brains out)
There's no time to cock it
No way you could stop it
When niggaz run up on you with them thangs out(thangs out)
I do what I gotta do I don't care if I get caught
The D.A can play this muther****in tape in court
I'll kill you...

Hear what im sayin'
Homie i aint playin'
Catch you slippin' imma kill you
I ain't playin'
Hear what im sayin'
Homie i ain't playin'

Verse 1
Keep thinkin' im candy
'Til your ****in' skull get popped
And your brain pop out the top, like Jack-in-the-box(yeh!)
In the hood, summer time is the killin' season
Is hot out this *****, that's a good enough reason(whoo!)
I see gangstas get religious when they start bleedin'
Sayin' "Lord Jesus help me!"
Cuz they ass leavin'
When that window roll down and that AK come out
You could squeeze your little hand-gun 'til u run out
And you could run for your back-up
The machine-gun shells gon' tear your back up
God's on your side, shit im aight with that
Cuz we gon' reload them clips and come on right back
It's a fact homie
You go against me you ****ed!
I hit the drop if you could duck yourluckier then lady luck
Look nigga
Don't make me say cuz you moved out the hood
Cuz your moma still around dawg and that ain't good
If you get smart you be shookin' me
Cuz I get tired of lookin' for you, spray your moma crib and let your ass look
for me

Verse 2
My heart bleeds for you nigga
I can't wait to get to you
Behind the twinkle in your eyes, I can see the ***** in you
Nigga you know the streets talk
Cuz they'll be no white flags, and no peace talk
I got my back against the wind
I'm down to ride 'til the sun burn out
If I die today i'm happy how my life turned out
See the shoot outs i done been in them by myself
Locked up I was in a box, by myself
Ida made myself a millionaire, by myself
Now shit changed mutha****a, i can hire some help
Ida heard about the 50 grand you put in the hood
But you shoot a friend and get shot at, it won't do you no good
With a pistol I define the definition of pain
If you survive, your bones still ****in' hurt when it rains
Oh you a pro at playin' battle-ship, well this ain't the same
Lil' homie this a whole different type of role game
See the losers end up in shackels and mutha****in' chains
Or laid out in the street, leakin' out they brains

If there's beef, cock it and dump it
The drama really means nothin'
To me I ride by 'n blow ya brains out(brains out)

Verse 3
After the fist-fight is gun fire boy you get the best of me
If you don't wanna get shot I suggest you don't go testin' me
All the wrong i've done the Lord still keeps on blessin' me
Fill the wrong wrap cuz Dr.Dre got the recipe(recipe)

Yeh...haha
Ay Dre!
You got me feelin' real bullet proof up in this mutha****a
Cuz the windows on my mutha****in' Benz is bullet proof nigga
Cuz my mutha****in' vest is bullet proof nigga
Cuz my mutha****in' hat is bullet proof nigga
But the Doc said if I get hit I might get a ****in' cuncusion
Better that then a hole in the head right nigga?

Rotate that thang, I wanna touch that thang
Can you make it go round and round
I step up in the club, I'm like who you with
G-Unit in the house, yeah thats my clique
Yeah I'm young, but a nigga from the old school
On the dance floor, a nigga doin' old moves
I don't give a ****, I do what I wan' do
I hit your ass up, boy I done warned you
Better listen, when I talk, nigga don't trip
Yo' heat in the car, mine's in this *****

Got my diamonds, my fitted, and my mink on
I'ma kick it at the bar till its time to go
Then I'ma get shorty here and I'ma let her know


All a nigga really need is a lil bit
Not a lot baby girl just a lil bit
We can head to the crib in a lil bit

I wanna unbutton your pants just a lil bit
Take 'em off and pull 'em down a lil bit
Get to kissin' and touchin' a lil bit
Get to lickin' and (*edited*) a lil bit


This is 50, comin' out your stereos
Hard to tell though, cause I switched the flow
Eyes a lil low, cause I twist the dro'
Pockets on ??? cause I move the O's
My neck, my wrist, my ears is froze
Come get ya *****, she on me dawg
She musta heard about the dough
Now captain come on and save a hoe
I get it crunk in the club, I'm off the chain
Number one on the chart, all the time mayn
When the kid in the house, I turn it out
Keep the dance floor packed, thats without a doubt
And shorty shake that thang like a pro mayn
She back it up on me I'm like oh mayn
I get close enough to her so I know she can hear
System thumpin', party jumpin', I said loud and clear


All a nigga really need is a lil bit
Not a lot baby girl just a lil bit
We can head to the crib in a lil bit
I can show ya how I live in a lil bit
I wanna unbutton your pants just a lil bit
Take 'em off and pull 'em down a lil bit
Get to kissin' and touchin' a lil bit

A small excerpt as to what the Duke, yes, John Wayne, thinks about your rap:

So you think you're bad, with your rap
Well I'll tell ya pilgrim I started the crap
When you were in diapers and wetting the sheets
I was at the Ponderosa rapping to the beat

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

Sure I rustled some cattle and tended the sheep
But my main concern was rapping to the beat
I don't bother nobody I'm a real nice guy, kinda
laid back like a, dead fly

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh
Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

I'm talkin, here and now
Later for the cattle and rustlin the cow
If I had a chance to do a repeat
You can bet your sweet dippy I'd be rappin to the beat

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

Que pasa amigos? Not a *pasa* I see
Two hundred punks well what ya gonna do?
I got two six shooters that'll see me through
That's, twelve dead...
and a hundred and eighty-eight pallbearers

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

What I do on your grave won't pass for flowers either

This is 2pac's song.Its real deep.Its bout a girl that has a baby and is killed in the end.
2pac-Brenda Got A Baby

Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby
Well, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame
Tha girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not her problem, that's up ta Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky
Went in debt to his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause your in tha ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes ta resist tha temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch tha joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when tha check came they got first dibs
Now Brendas belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems ta notice any change in her figure
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
In love with tha molester, who's sexing her crazy
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with tha two of them are together, whatever
He left her and she had tha baby solo, she had it on tha bathroom floor
And didn't know so, she didn't know, what ta throw away and what ta keep
She wrapped tha baby up and threw him in tha trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
Wouldn't hear tha cries
She didn't realize
How much tha tha little baby had her eyes
Now tha babys in tha trash heep balling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling
Brenda wants ta run away
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, tha social workers here everyday
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried ta sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what's next, there ain't nothin left ta sell
So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
It's payin tha rent, so she really can't complain
Prostitute, fair slang, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby
Well, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame
Tha girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not her problem, that's up ta Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky
Went in debt to his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause your in tha ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation

She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when tha check came they got first dibs
Now Brendas belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems ta notice any change in her figure
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
In love with tha molester, who's sexing her crazy
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with tha two of them are together, whatever
He left her and she had tha baby solo, she had it on tha bathroom floor
And didn't know so, she didn't know, what ta throw away and what ta keep
She wrapped tha baby up and threw him in tha trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
Wouldn't hear tha cries
She didn't realize
How much tha tha little baby had her eyes
Now tha babys in tha trash heep balling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling
Brenda wants ta run away
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, tha social workers here everyday
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried ta sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what's next, there ain't nothin left ta sell
So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
It's payin tha rent, so she really can't complain
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Baaaaaaaaby

(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)

Immortal Technique- You Never Know


She was on her way to becoming a college graduate
Wouldn't even stop to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage with
**** the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for hire
Disciplined, intellectual beauty's what I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez
Everyone told me, kickin' it to her was hopeless
At first I just thought, she didn't mess with broke kids
The thug niggaz always talking about, how they smoke kids
But the rich-sniff-coke kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body language would say
Everyone around the way, gave up trying to get in it
It didn't matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it
On the block, bitches was jealous, but wouldn't admit it
Talk shit, and deny to everyone that they did it
'Cause they regreted the long list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and did-dick
Smoking weed with thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it
She smoked intelligently and they bit it, always trying to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sounded sloppy
She had a style, all her own, respectful and pure
I was sick in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure


Don't you know that, time waits for no man
Not fate, it's all planned
I'm blessed just to know you
I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night
Can't find, a reason why
God came, to you and I
If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go
Hold tight to your love, 'cause you never know


Her eyes are brown and beautiful, yet empty and sad
I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was glad
That I wasn't just another nigga trying to get in it
So every now and then we'd stop and talk for a minute
I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes turned to hours
On her birthday, I gave her a poem with flowers
Then I took her out to dinner after her cousin's baby shower
We talked about, power to the people and such
We spent more time together but it was never enough
I never tried to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel
I was too interested, in keeping it real
Perfectly honest and complete, she would always call me "carino,"
And never Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3 weeks
Forever changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak
It was because of her, I even deaded all of my freaks
She convinced me, to stop hangin' out on the streets
To stop robbin' and stealin', from people like you
Instead I took her out to the Apollo and the Bronxu
We sailed in Barrio (?) and the Metropolitan too
Got to the point when I was either with her or my crew
So I decided one day, to tell her my feelings was true
I couldn't live without her so I told her, facing my fears
But honey's only response, was a face full of tears
She could only sob hysterically, holding me tight
I tried to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I left sight
I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light
Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night




I went on with my life, college and my career
Ended up locked up like an animal for a year
Where the C.O.'s talk to you like they were the overseer
Then I got sent to the hole, when my exit was near
At night in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her
Hold her close in my dreams, but when I woke she disappeared
Just an empty cell until the state gave me parole in the summer
came back, in tact and on track
But the fact of the matter, is I still felt cold
Even after my mother, hugged me, cryin' at home
My real niggaz would catch me thinkin', out of my zone
****in' lots of different women, but I still felt alone
Relatively well-known around the New York underground
But I kept thinking of her and how we used to be down
The sound of her voice, and the beautiful smell of her hair
Though gone physically, somehow it was still there
I had to do something, because the shit was too much to bear
So I went and visited the building where she used to live
The world looks a lot different after you do a bid
The way your life done changed
While primitive minds (are) still stuck in the same game
Like her cousin who was on the corner slangin' cocaine
Stepped in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last name
Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, like a mother oughta
But her facial expression changed, when I asked about her daughter




She told me that there was a note for me, that was left behind
She had left it there waiting, for such a long time
I was inclined to ask about it but she brought it up first
I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and then she cursed
She told me where the letter was and I started thinking the worst
Reversed my position, stepped over and opened the door
And sure enough there was an envelope with my name on the floor
"Nobody loves you more than me carino" is what the letter said

"By the time you get to read this, I'll probably be dead
But when you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven
I thank God at least I got to know what love really was
But it hurt me, to see what true love really does
'Cause even though we never made love, you were all that there was
It was because I loved you so much that I had to make you leave
You made me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe
And then I slipped up, and I let you get close to me
It was hard to not be openly when people spoke to me
This was not the way I thought my life was supposed to be
Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion that left me with HIV
Hoped the end exists for me since late in 1993
I died a virgin, I wish I could've given myself to you
I cried in the hospital because there was no one else but you
Promise that you'll meet me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, I'll keep your love forever with me"

What happened for the rest of the day is still a blur
But I remember wishing that I was dead, instead of her
She was buried on August 3rd
The story ends without a sequel
And now you know why Technique, don't ****ing fall in love with people
Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you
Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond
'Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone

Tech can spin a yarn, I'll give him that, but when it comes to narrative hip-hop, there can only be one king:



Slick Rick - Children's Story smokin'


Alright you kids get into bed I'll get the story book.
Y'all tucked in?
Here we go.

Once upon a time not long ago,
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
And people were behavin' like they are too good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me & You, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
Robbin' old folks and makin' a dash".

They did the job, money came with ease,
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm he started acting erratic,
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said "Why'd ya hit me?",
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
"I'll do years if I pull this trigga",
So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
Cop radios it to another lady cop.
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista,
Shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations,
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left,
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him (sorry),
Then he made his move to an abandoned building.

Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw? (who?)
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
Who don't know the meanin' of water or soap,
He said ''I need bullets, hurry up, run!''
The dope fiend rolled back a spankin' shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over,
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova,
Raced up the block doing 83,
Crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered,
Rat-a-tat-tatta and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static,
Grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
he told the cops, ''Back off, or honey here's dead''.

Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
And this is the way I must end this story,
He was only (what?) seventeen, in a madman's dream,
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
Just another case 'bout the wrong path,
Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets cashed.
Good Night.

"Faget" by Korn

Him!

Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me? Made me feel absurd
****ing stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly. Please just go away

Him!
I can see it's hard to find
This blessing in disguise
Him!
Why do you treat me this way?
Made the hate stay (Made the hurt stay)

I sound like I can never seem to escape
all the laughing, all th pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing, probaly. You'd just throw me away

Faget!

I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it
It keeps going on day after day, son
you fake, if we don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way everyday
Who gives a ****?!
Right now I got something to say to all the people that think
I'm strange and I should be out here locked up in a cage
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You got this pretty-boy feeling
like I'm enslaved to a world that never
appreciated shit
YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK AND ****ING LIKE IT!!!

He had my gun but he had a body mighty, anysay
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, anyway
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, not going to say
he had my gun but he had a body mighty, anyway
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, anysay
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, not going away
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, not going to say
He had my gun but he had a body mighty, anyway

I'm just a pretty boy, I'm not supposed to **** a girl
I'm just a pretty boy, living in this ****ed up world

All my life, who am I?

I'm just a faget!
Faget!
I'm a faget!
Faget!
I'm not a faget
What am I?
Faget!
You mother ****ing queers!

..and you will know us by the trail of dead - Another morning stoner

Are you asleep, are you in a dream?
The copper shades of a morning
Distant lights beckon & fade
Unwritten songs of another day

I fear that you would never be
Every song in the world for me
I took your hand, led you astray
You cursed the worlds I longed to save

Is heaven to you a perfect place?
The look of sorrow on a sufferer's face?
A field of lives to sow and reap
That some of us will never see

Why is it I don't feel the same?
Are my longings to be blamed
For not seeing heaven like you would see;
Why is a song a world for me?

What is forgiveness?
It's just a dream.
What is forgiveness?
It's everything.

The Bled - Porcelain hearts and hammers for teeth

I'd burn alive to keep you warm when you're alone.
Shiver under blankets in the basement where our secrets sleep.
You pour the liquor on the staircase, girl.
Pass the flask and close your eyes.
Are you grieving for what we've become?
Are you running from that room?
We set the evidence on fire.
We light cigarettes and chase out old regrets.
Are you grieving for tonight?
I smell the sulfur on her skin (breathe in).
Yesterday will be the end of you and I.
Yesterday will be the end of shoulders where we rest our head.
Now we grieve for tomorrow goes on without us.
Now we breathe for no one else.
Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow waiting for
the grave to tell me that she's lonely.
Open up and hold me slowly feel my body becoming one and only.
Death is just an excuse to forget you.
Now we run from ourselves.
Hope lies not in the mirror.
I'll burn alive for you.

Tha girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not her problem, that's up ta Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community

Went in debt to his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause your in tha ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes ta resist tha temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch tha joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when tha check came they got first dibs
Now Brendas belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems ta notice any change in her figure

What was the purpose of doin' that??

Love this one by Mr Lif and Aesop Rock called Success. smokin'


This is rock bottom y'all, I never expected it
In order to be businesslike you must meet the prerequisite
Leave your culture at home, smile, don't be too proud, too wild
You may suffer, just don't cry out loud
This notion of proffesionalism is like an exorcism
Forced to give your life away while you're earnin' a livin'
These thoughts had stopped me from rejoinin' the work force
but now the situation I'm in, just seems to hurt more
Maybe it wont be bad, maybe it'll be good
I could use a little structure in my life, maybe I should
Take my suit and tie out of the closet
Try shinin' my shoes and brush the f**kin' dust off of my wallet
Let's consider the prospects, make a couple phone calls
Now so many interviews you know I got next week
I'm strictly goin'from the bottom to the peak
I'm ready focused and determined to get back on my feet

Chorus


Daddy had a name tag that said, 'Busy Working'
Mommy had a milk carton that said, 'Missing Person'
John had a new baseball glove, with nobody to learn with
That's oil and water trying to mix on the same surface


I got a job at a business place I chose not to name
Ask me how did I achieve this so quick? Yes you may
Back when I was compiled a stunning resume
I didn't value way back then, but boy it helped today
I'm pushin' every single thought of rebellin' away
I'm workin' real hard, and my pockets are swellin', and hey
Can you believe I met the girl of my dreams, I swear she's meant
for me
We've been together over 2 years, goin' on 3
We married on our 4th anniversary
Bought a house and turned a room into a nursery
For the bouncin' baby that we're expecting in June
I sat in that delivery room from noon, to noon
24 hours of labour then the nurse asked me his title for the
paper
You know, so the government can chase ya'
First name: John, Last name: Insignificant
I'm smiling like a proud dad; I got the birth certificate
Go to the house and here's my

and I looked around and nothing's good enough for her or him
So my 8 hour days became 9; 9 slid up to 10; a subtle slip up to
11 and then
And after a 12 hour day, I too little energy to say 'I love you'
to my baby
Or play daddy to J, and I thought this was the way
o be a husband and a father
I guess I could've looked in her eyes, and seen I lost her
But it wasn't my fault, I'm workin' hard, it couldn't be
I've been successfully existing as a member of this family
I was so convinced the household had to always be complete
I didn't realize the only thing that's missing is me

Chorus


There was never any talk of divorce
I can't believe how focused I was in the face of such a huge
potential loss
Thought I signed a greivance with the boss
In fact, I was mad at my wife, as if she's trying to knock me
off course
But I still visited the florist, to get her flowers
(When the last time I did this?) Hmm.. not since our wedding
shower
I got home and I was greeted by the fact we'd been deleted
I was someone that my wife and child thought they no longer
needed
And before I could say, 'Where's John?'
I looked down and he was clingin' to her arm
I realized-ed that I'm wrong
I blacked out and by the time I came to, they were gone
But somehow I sat and shook my head, and then I carried on
And I still completed 3 weeks of work, before my breakdown
The ambulances came and I got medicine to take now
And it's hard to get a job when you been treated and released
So both my relationship and my career had deceased
It took years to put myself together, peice by peice
And thank God I found a woman that's propitiate with me
And I'll never let this happen again, it's not to be
I'm ready focused and determined to get back on my feet


Daddy had a name tag that said, 'Busy Working'
Mommy had a milk carton that said, 'Missing Person'
John had a new baseball glove, with nobody to learn with
The oil left the water and the water kept searchin'

Ah, Aesop Rock, that reminds me of one of my favorite lyrics.


Aesop Rock - No Regrets

Lucy was 7 and wore a head of blue barettes
City born, into this world with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a piece of yellow chalk with which she'd draw upon the street
The many faces of the various locals that she would meet.
There was Joshua, age 10,
Bully of the block
Who always took her milk money at the morning bus stop
There was Mrs. Crabtree, and her poodle,
She always gave a wave and holler on her weekly trip down to the bingo parlor
And she drew
Men, women, kids, sunsets, clouds
And she drew
Skyscrapers, fruit stands, cities, towns
Always said hello to passers-by
They'd ask her why she passed her time
Attachin' lines to concrete
But she would only smile.
Now all the other children living in or near her building
Ran around like tyrants, soaking up the open fire hydrants
They would say,
''Hey little Lucy, wanna come jump double dutch?''
Lucy would pause, look, grin and say
''I'm busy, thank you much''
Well, well, one year passed
And believe it or not
She covered every last inch of the entire sidewalk,
And she stopped-
''Lucy, after all this, you're just giving in today??''
She said:
''I'm not giving in, I'm finished,'' and walked away.

(Chorus)
1 2 3
That's the speed of the seed,
A B C
That's the speed of the need.
You can dream a little dream
Or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it,
Cuz dreamers always chase
But never get it.

Now Lucy was 37, and introverted somewhat
Basement apartment in the same building she grew up in,
She traded in her blue barettes for long locks held up with a clip
Traded in her yellow chalk for charcoal sticks
And she drew
Little Bobby who would come to sweep the porch
And she drew
The mailman, delivered everyday at 4.
Lucy had very little contact with the folks outside her cubicle day
But she found it suitable, and she liked it that way.
She had a man now: Rico, similar, hermit
They would only see each other once or twice a week on purpose
They appreciated space and Rico was an artist too,
So they'd connect on Saturdays to share the pictures that they drew.
Now every month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door
Just one of the neighbors,
Actin' nice, although she was a strange girl, really
Say, ''Lucy, wanna join me for some lunch??''
Lucy would smile and say ''I'm busy, thank you much''.
And they would make a weird face the second the door shut
And run and tell their friends how truly crazy Lucy was.
And Lucy knew what people thought but didn't care
Cuz while they spread their rumors through the street
She'd paint another masterpiece.

(Chorus)

Lucy was 87, upon her death bed
At the senior home, where she had previously checked in,
Traded in the locks and clips for a head rest
Traded in the charcoal sticks for arthritis, it had to happen
And she drew no more, just sat and watched the dawn,
Had a television in the room that she'd never turned on.
Lucy pinned up a life worth's of pictures on the wall
And sat and smiled, looked each one over, just to laugh at it all.
No Rico, he had passed, aout 5 years back
So the visiting hours pulled in a big flock o' nuthin'
She'd never spoken once throughout the spanning of her life
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and pulled the nurse aside
And she said:
''Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!''
Well!
The nurse jumped back,
She'd never heard Lucy even talk,
'Specially words like that,
She walked over to the door, and pulled it closed behind
Then Lucy blew a kiss to each one of her pictures,
And she died.


And that, my friends, is pure poetic genius.

This is the last chapter
Bombs hit who? Crushed what?
Over there? Oh my god, oh dear
I was hmm.. I think I was *h* goin somewhere
About to paint my fear bright glare not quite clear
Stay blinded to the light of possibilities
Think I heard the screams of those in my proximity
On how they started thinking wishfully
Guided by fear I'm semi aware
Please, is anybody out there?


It was a gentle fission kiss on my block
And hot light like a baby breathing sigh a terrain
And now my name is merely left
Suckin on brain exist before the final flash
The emotion of pretty details of a life I had passed
Now my warm night in Brooklyn is ash
Falling from the snot of loosies that I choked
Around the corner from class
Before the moments when the moon can move fast
Another summer slowly growing with the friendships
That would end with a blast
Or how the hours could so blissfully lag
She slid her tongue between my lips and I gasped
Told my dawgs and they laughed
Now we're combining our cash at last
A pack of smokes and a flask
Hopeless liquor with a gas aftermath.


Convert to atheism denounce god pronounce religion dead
Faith in nothing trace my wrists with razors
I refuse to wait for the blades to erase my spirit
Death - faced with it - run to it - not from it
Swallow all the pills in the medicine cabinet
Chase it with a bottle of 151 hung mommy
Head outside the smashed windows in trash my hotel lobby
Break the grip off the time at last
I find I get to him up Wish I did more sinnin
Get a strap on run up in two women
Laid in the middle of a highway wait for pain to hit me
Still a can with people lootin screamin come and get me
Finally it was porn shop biggest gun crowded street
Blow my brains to hell - I'm gone - and let the devil come for me


What's the chance that I'd be one of the last ones left of my preceders
The Earth Crusher came before I could even conceive a fetus
But I did go from nothing to misunderstood elitist
Who tried to tell his people the lies instead of acting like defeatists
But what good is that? Cause we're now all goin to hell
Like some kid playin in his class out talkin before the bell
I died believing in righteousness but I could have indulged more
Cause giving in to temptation don't seem that raw no more
I heard some airline offered flights into space
I shoulda took it to see earth before they matched up the place
I thought I'd be alone when they finally came to get me
But nobody gotta miss me because they all comin with me


Our horizon was accessorizing we bred more need
Best believe this be the equation of greed
I need a new car and thus new breaks
Another tune-up with lube
Whatever's put together shall be unscrewed
In times of famine we made more food
Food made more people
It's all explained within the cycle of evil
Would I trade it all?
Cruisin down the highway on a bright summer day
Gazing out a plane to see the earth from miles away
Watchin the patriots win the super bowl
Grabbin that fumble from Ricky Prole
Or my stereo provided me with rhythm and soul
I don't know, all I know is I feel guilt for
Every single thing I've ever bought and sold
I shoulda been at more demonstrations
Planted bombs in corporations
Murdered CEO's and cancelled TV shows
Burned billboards and torn posters
I coulda read more
Finally I get to meet this god they left us dead for
And its ill, its power to the form of a bill
To which people killed by manipulated free will
Conscience be the crucifix a chopping block for poppycock
And I can feel our spirits drop upon these streets I oddly walk
Enough talk! Here's my last chance to cherish a thought
My flesh is fully melted and my stomach's in a knot
So to my love I hated to leave you alone
Parted my zone passion took me to places and my life was a poem
Baby I was on my way home about to catch a flight
Our meeting has dissolved in radiation and light
Love you gave me made me shine
You're gorgeous with a powerful mind
You lifted my spirits and strengthened my spine
I'm at peace with my life cause knowin you was divine
You made me see eternal beauty in a world that was dying
Now we're all ground by the grind
Out of luck and out of line, out of signs
And now we're out of time...


clapping notworthy

Yeah that is a great track. Putting Mr. Lif and El-P together is obviously gonna make one helluva paranoid song. I like Iron Helix more though, it's not as huge and scary as Post Mortem, but it's ridiculously clever.

What a coincidence, im listening to Iron Helix right now. Wicked track.

Tool -- The Grudge

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

Defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper.

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go.

Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go.

The smell was unbearable
As I unburied her
I cum blood from my erection
I feel it run
down her throat, swallow
Eyes glassy and vacant
body dug up to play with
Skin greasy and naked
tounguing her rotted anus

I need a live woman
to fill with my fluid
A delicate girl, to mutilate, **** and kill
her body exceptional
she thought I was normal
but I wanted more

I came blood inside of her
chocking on the clot
gagging on the snot
gushing blood, from her mouth
bloody gel leaking out
Body buried in a shallow grave
Unmarked for none to find
The sickness I have left behind
Undetected go my crimes
The greatest thrill of my life
To slit my own cock with a knife

Treehuggerjanie
wow.they are pretty damn awesome lyrics

Deathblow
What's awesome about that? It sounds like the South Park writers making fun of death metal...

Anyway, lets get back to some real lyrics, and in keeping with Koolruningz theme of hellish visions of a not-so-distant future, through the eyes of the Def Juxies. I love how bitter this is. This is why I worship El-P, only he could make something as oddly structured as this flow:

El-P - Stepfather Factory


I'm gonna build a Stepfather Factory
The latest in technology
Stepfather Factory
Jobs for the community
A Stepfather Factory
The age of familial industry
A Stepfather Factory
Building tomorrow's fathers today
A Stepfather Factory
The latest in technology
Stepfather Factory
Jobs for the community
A Stepfather Factory
The age of familial industry
Building tomorrow's fathers today...

Spilling the leftovers of creational clay,
We grew with the concept now we're ready to go public.
Today's a big day for the company
A big step for the little-steppers who slept for years uncomfortably
Little man, little lady, cute little baby,
Reach your hand out to the future of automated robotics
On display here for the first time in "enter year here",
At the World's fair - but is it really?
Ladies and Gentlemen I propose that the market is sinking
Under the weight of useless contraptions added to the shopping carts of all hard-working families,
Electric doodads and wizar haps and such to keep the munchkins entertained
But get replaced by newer versions or just breakdown systematically
Mothers - how many times have you debated self-euthanasia tablets for breakfast snacks?
When restlessness attacks seemingly at random?
With an emptiness inside that's hard to identify, maybe,
Pursuing obvious like pill-popping and constant over-eating?
Chances are you've been abandoned,
Well I'm no scientist, that's not what I went to school for
And I'm not a doctor, so I don't know much about medicine
But I'm willing to bet that you, yes you little...
What's your name sweetheart? (dada!?) yeah, whatever.
Get a funny feeling in your tummy when your mommy cries?
Something between woozy and confusion?
And you spend your thoughts on how the sadness
In your mommy can be rooted out, burned, scorned, turned out, forgotten,
So you can concentrate on candy and little baby dolls
Or whatever it is that normal kids get to think about
Well I can honestly say that this invention is,
Let me start by saying we've grafted only the finest of,
Inserted the most high tech, state of the art, with brain charted for authentic
True to human emotion and trained to be domestic.
Made from the most easily available materials and, uh, loosely inspected,
Guaranteed to revolutionize
Perfectly realistic and even somewhat institutionally respected
Robotic relative.



So you purchased a paternal unit, class A type 1,
A new addition to your living room space, watch it go.
Under warranty for at least 90 days, so have fun
If in that time frame there's a problem, please let us know.
Before you start there's a few details that you must learn
Technical specs about your unit to make things run smooth,
In an effort to find an energy source our company's learned
The cheapest way to keep his battery running is with booze,
Plug it in, give it a name, man of the house, help sustain
Wear the pants, you can relax, one of the pack, nuculear fam (literally nuclear)
Brings us to the safety chapter,
Section 87 in your handbook subsection 16 entitled:
Troubleshooting
Fuel sources are at a slight risk of mixing,
With the crispy plutonium center
Of your automated new spouse and then driven,
Possibly leading to the unpredicted stimulation of its artificial emotion circuits.
And in a few unsubstantiated clinical trials this condition
Has led to simulated feelings of resentment and worthlessness
Manifested in the highly unlikely but still possible act
Of physical aggression towards you and your loved ones fleshy surfaces.

Remember, no cash returns.
Only credits towards future purchases.

''Why are you making me hurt you?
I love you.''

wicker_man
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but
someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day


So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to
make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my
hands up to the sky




7. Can I Play With Madness



Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place


Can I play with madness - the prophet started at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laught at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son
- I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire

- Wasted Years ~ Iron Maiden

I really feel for them and the life they endured (being away from there loved ones) to do something they love, and what others love also.

Aesop Rock - Bent Life Lyrics
{Aesop Rock}
Yo
I take 10 steps with a bedlamped vision
Study the disorders we've absorbed inside the village
I understand the plagues and shake hands with my grimace that
remain up in
my face like top to bottom train car feelings
Lets question the ascension of a broken social icon in various
domino affect
I'm blow this hex over the mission
Just to administer the indoor sucker punch toward its pitiful
condition

{C-Rayz Walz}
With no alibi love is used as a guide by the civilized
Some see it as the body heat you feel when you close your eyes
That's so much of a lie, you can leave your hair dyed and scorch
your roots
As the truth hits your ears begin to cry
"Why Is It Like This!" Why the **** do I care?
I don't have the answers, or at least the ones you want to hear
City lights look like bright groups of fire flies
Many see the truth (the proof) only when the liar dies
Tires screech to a halt, the ground cries
Spit sparks speak to the streets
The skid marks are replies
Read discussions of what we rode through entrenched in the
vocals]
The hopeless stay hopeful (the toxic fumes choke you)
As I walk out my door, step into the pollution
(I breathe in the problems) exhale solutions
Physically the situation's hard to stop
I had a wicked jump shot and sold crack rock on back blocks
Casualties in this apocalypse (street chronicle)
abnormal abdominals (push-ups phenomenal)
Relaxin drinking my 6-pack maxing
faxing my thoughts on the satellite, via Donahue (push it)
Table talk, salt and pepper conversation
Integrated sectors, metropolis and mecca
It's a conspiracy (you know), I can't lie dukes
Sometimes I feel the rats got a better deal than I do

{Aesop Rock}(Chorus)
It goes thieves, bandits, low lives, scum
Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum
Steadily searching for something new under the sun
But its stagnant, act of development burst of madness

Thieves, bandits, low lives, scum
Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum
Steadily searching for something new under the sun
But its hurtin, act of development first diversion

{C-Rayz Walz}
A new universe in ancient, so I stay patient
In a gravel pit, travelin thoughts and ravelin, pacing
Embracing light of America, and found a shade of darkness
(underground)
The traincar used to be my apartment
Sick of people rushin in the doors before I get out
Conductors closing the doors before I get in, I shout
"The Biz is Coming, The Biz is Coming!"
Don't get worried now (We've been in a cold world!)
We just getting flurries now?

{Aesop Rock}
Yeah, its like slowww dooowwwn,
You're movin much to fast to bust through the finale fashioned
glass
Its delicate demeanor and I teach you how to hang
But we like 19 7 something 20 clicks outside Danang (dear
obedience)
I apologize for the faulty academics
but they placed us in a miserable stasis
I let bygones be bygones
But tryin to see eye to eye with the faceless
just aint working the way the manual paints it
See I soak in a blue note factory
While most cats hassle bandits lamping solo
And when the last red brick topples over the earth
to intercept your crooked little mess
I can be found in a social coma directly to your left
Engaged in a conversation, a marvel with my breath
Regarding how to document the shady baby steps
I bounce checks like a modern man
Sleep with one eye open while the other two drift
together specimens from the promise land
This for the thinkers
This for the urchins allergic to they own stingers
This for the absurd verdict linkers
This for that cat at my shows that's always got prophetic
opinions
but cant remember where his drink is
I'm wallowing, shrugging I'm plugging your corporation
Cause we alley cats addicted to the sickly warped sensation
Answer this: when all that's said and done
are you a memorable troop or just a lab rat on the run
Choose one

{Chorus}

TOOL - Aenima Lyrics

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

F**k L Ron Hubbard and
F**k all his clones.
F**k all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

F**k retro anything.
F**k your tattoos.
F**k all you junkies and
F**k your short memory.

Learn to swim.

F**k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
F**k these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

Tool -- Parabola

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

Love this song, Bis is a great story-teller when he doesn't brag. Plus the beats on this track are really good, even for Stoupe.


Canibus - No Return

No return...


Yo, scientists gather in a secret place to debate
They photographed the Earth from space and saw my face
They tried to translate the innate asiatic shape
Before the final earthquakes came but it was too late
Only one eighth of the human race escaped to space
They were chased by flying phenomenon to the lunar base
Floatillas and space centers, lasers probed the entrance
DNA code sensors reject old genetics
I presented my cosmic clearance to a patrol of medics
I was injected with sodium pentathol and questioned
I relayed the message the way I was trained to remember it
I showed them the keypad code and told 'em to enter it
I told 'em which alphanumeric buttons were sensitive
He snatched it outta my hand and started depressing it
I told him detonation was definite if he kept at it
He never quit, he just lost his temper and flipped
I bowed my head like "I guess this is it"
My ears popped, the music stopped, and I couldn't hear shit.




The driver jogged around to the front and opened the door
He said his name was Muhammed Jamal and he'd be with me 'till fall
He said the escort service had called
and a package would be waitin for me at the window
I said thanks, he grabbed my bags fast and put 'em in the trunk
Then he ran around to the front, slammed it in gear
Pulled off slow, winding down his window
and asked me if I minded if he smoke, I said no, he drove off
Cut my cell phone off, then I swallowed a tablet of Zoloft
Went to sleep and woke up feelin' kinda lost
I asked him what the weather's been like lately
he said he doesn't mind the heat and hates the A/C
Said he had a son who was eighteen and made beats
and I happened to be his favorite emcee
I said for real, that's crazy, I meet him later
Yo Jamal could you please do me a favor
When we get to the corner stop at the bodega
Hopped out the car, walked inside
the store's stereo was playin' Feliz Navidad
I got a pack of condoms and walked to the back of the line
There was three Taliban that was talkin' very loud
One reached in his back side and pulled out a Beretta gun
The last word I heard myself say was a four letter one
He looked me in the eye and said the drama's never done
Cuz there's no return...no return




I heard the ringtone of the red phone
Headquarters informed us there was an explosion in the red zone
We were ordered to get ready to go
and to get into our bio-weapons protective gear and clothes
I rode shotgun, my partner Ramirez drove
GPS control gave us coordinates where to go
Soon as we got there I could feel the hot air
For a second I stopped and stared, there was cops everywhere
I told 'em we need to get a square perimeter clear
We got an hour 'till nightfall, so light some flares
I said a twenty second prayer then ran to the second chair-
the lift that was there, then I waved my hands up in the air
to signal that it was clear before I ran upstairs
I could barely see, smoke was so thick in the air
I was visually impaired and started to get scared
I heard a woman scream "HELP" but I didn't know where
I started screamin' back "I'm not gonna leave you here"
Sayin to myself "damn it's hard to breathe in here"
Searched the rooms one by one like "**** my lungs"
Ramirez said the fire truck got stuck by the front
I crawled all the way through the foyer to the end of the hallway
and seen her on the floor next to the doorway
I was half unconscious but I just ignored the pain
Helped her to her feet and she had her arm in a brace
All this tar-like black stuff was all in her face
I radio Ramirez coughin and tried to explain
I heard him say something to me like "It's all in flames!"
There was ceiling debris fallin all over the place
I looked her in her eye, she looked into mine, it was strange
Then I blinked for the last time and never saw her again.

Said he had a son who was eighteen and made beats
and I happened to be his favorite emcee
I said for real, that's crazy, I meet him later
Yo Jamal could you please do me a favor
When we get to the corner stop at the bodega
Hopped out the car, walked inside
the store's stereo was playin' Feliz Navidad
I got a pack of condoms and walked to the back of the line
There was three Taliban that was talkin' very loud
One reached in his back side and pulled out a Beretta gun
The last word I heard myself say was a four letter one
He looked me in the eye and said the drama's never done
Cuz there's no return...no return




I heard the ringtone of the red phone
Headquarters informed us there was an explosion in the red zone
We were ordered to get ready to go
and to get into our bio-weapons protective gear and clothes
I rode shotgun, my partner Ramirez drove
GPS control gave us coordinates where to go
Soon as we got there I could feel the hot air
For a second I stopped and stared, there was cops everywhere
I told 'em we need to get a square perimeter clear
We got an hour 'till nightfall, so light some flares
I said a twenty second prayer then ran to the second chair-
the lift that was there, then I waved my hands up in the air
to signal that it was clear before I ran upstairs
I could barely see, smoke was so thick in the air
I was visually impaired and started to get scared
I heard a woman scream "HELP" but I didn't know where
I started screamin' back "I'm not gonna leave you here"
Sayin to myself "damn it's hard to breathe in here"
Searched the rooms one by one like "**** my lungs"
Ramirez said the fire truck got stuck by the front
I crawled all the way through the foyer to the end of the hallway
and seen her on the floor next to the doorway
I was half unconscious but I just ignored the pain
Helped her to her feet and she had her arm in a brace
All this tar-like black stuff was all in her face
I radio Ramirez coughin and tried to explain
I heard him say something to me like "It's all in flames!"
There was ceiling debris fallin all over the place
I looked her in her eye, she looked into mine, it was strange
Then I blinked for the last time and never saw her again.

great song from Rip the Jacker, but Canibus' new album wasn't good. really bad.

Yeah I got it last week, disappointing weren't it. Although I wouldn't call it really bad, really average I'd say.

Love this song, Bis is a great story-teller when he doesn't brag.

Canibus - No Return

No return...


Yo, scientists gather in a secret place to debate
They photographed the Earth from space and saw my face


Strange juxtapostion there.

Dave Davies - Nothin' More To Lose

(Published by: DABE Music Limited, London, 1980)

Get out of that house, Stop watching T.V.
Have you heard the news, Well there's a new world here and it's staring
straight at you,
Don't want no politics, Religion too. They've got nothing left to prove
Well my heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps singin' the blues,
I know we can make it happen, Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now it's all up to you.

Chorus
We got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.

We're so proud of our intellect, Arrogant selfish fools
Who can look no further than A bunch of separative rules.
Well if we're all so clever and technology rules, Why is it we're so scared.
I got a rockin' psychosis and my juke box blown a fuse.
Don't look there's someone watching, Though they're many light years away.
Don't stop, They may be listening to every single word you say.

Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.

Can you feel something strange in your heart
In your brain,
But it's not what you think.
You're just waking out of sleep.

Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
I know we can make it happen,
Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now it's all up to you.

Chorus
You got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Can you feel something strange in your heart
In your brain,
Nothing more to lose.

Victor Von Doom
It seems to be saying that there is nothing more to lose.

Schism

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes, testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end, crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squarin' off between
And the circling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion

Between supposed brothers
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit, I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit, I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit, I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit, I know the pieces fit

Ray Davies - Return To Waterloo

Published by: Davray Music, Ltd. 1985

Look at all the people around me, Same old faces joining the queue.
For return to Waterloo, Return to Waterloo.

Started off this morning as usual,
Checkin' out the mail and all the bills to pay.
Maybe something special's gonna happen, Maybe this is my lucky day.

The forecast says heavy weather, So take your umbrella just in case.
Will I get away, will I see it through, On the return to Waterloo.

Return to Waterloo. Return to Waterloo.

Somehow you feel that the world's been passin' you by.
Can't help thinkin' somehow they're living a lie.
Now I'm asking questions, I never thought I'd ask them before,
Like "why" or "how" or "what am I doing it for?"

Will I reach my destination, Or will I get off along the way?
Will I reach my destination?
Will I reach my destination, Have I stopped or am I only going slow?
Have we got a couple more stations, Or is this as far as we all go?

The headlines cry out from the papers,
"Inflation," "murder," "wars," who really wants to know?
If I return to Waterloo, It'll cost me more in 1992.

Will I get away, Will I see it through?
and come back home to you, On the return to Waterloo.

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt Lyrics

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

In This River-Black Label Society

I've been around this world
Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In ths river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn I step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

Tassie
Tripped and Falling- In Tears and Bad Endings

Dear faith,
I'm coming slowly now to life
When all expression seems to die
Morning wake, I've chosen better not to lie
Will you carry me away
It's so bitter now as the atmosphere destroys our chemistry
I'm defeaned by your silence
Burnt by this change in destiny
And I wait 'cause tonight
I'll grind my teeth away in your memory
But your ghost is here with me and
The air is thick with silence,
It's taste so bittersweet
In the agony- the agony-
Of self-destruction
Stolen confidence in words I'll never speak
You've left me now here to die in self-defeat
And when tomorrow comes,
If I don't wake with tears upon my face,
Have I let you down
Or have you only let me go
The air is thick with silence,
It's taste so bittersweet
In the agony- the agony-
Of self-destruction
Stolen confidence in words I'll never speak
You've left me now
Here to die in self-defeat
And I'll cry for you
And I'll cry for you
And I'll cry for you
On weakened knees
Guess this is just what you've decided for me
And the ending feels like broken glass
That cuts my heart
And I'm folding now into my arms
Oh, in my solace I'm dying for you,
I'm dying for you
I'm dying for you.

I'm back on Cannox, yet again happy

First verse is wonderfully poetic.


Cannibal Ox - Pigeon

(Vast Aire)

Birds of the same feather flock together
Congested on a majestic street corner,
That's a short time goal for most of 'em,
Cuz most of 'em
Would rather expand their wings and hover over greater things
That's what we call inspired flight
By the pigeons that gotta eat pizza crust every night
And ''Let there be light'' was understood,
When a mic-stand descended from up-and-above into the hood
And if my face is worth a thousand words when it's scarred
I would only hope that two of those are cocoa and butter
To heal the wounds of the tissue scarred to mark the death of my womb,
But I've graduated, got my wings
And you've got to let go of my constructed Lego egg-o-waffle halo,
I'm a black man with an African drum in my chest
That beats on the opposite of the right
Let me know I got a breath left
In this frigid fragile capsule
That allows you to fly south before the winter winds trap you
I wrap my ''hell I made it'' wetsuit stitch,
So I can swim in elevators crazy wet through piss
I'm just a pigeon with one mile left,
That doggy-paddles through this bullshit ocean of death
And these rags-to-riches words will break bones
Like the assassination of two birds with one stone,
That's why I don't associate with bird brains with their beaks in the air
Pelicans with wide jaws yap names for fish heads
You'll get tossed in the flames
Where some ornithologist will find your skeletal frame.


(Vordul Mega)

Eskimo metal got shit locked in oxygen shell
Words shot plated metal lung which spun kids' carrousel
Mega alarm technoloid these boys fight four arms swinging two toes very well
Terror toys jubilated mega noise when iron works
Bullet shot animated mad windows with fireworks
Shinin' summer-time hydrants
Splash passing cars, now run ghetto tyrants
These faces carry scars, mega large
Pigeons turn penguins talk fables cellular
Detached Christ's Word
But freeze-frame gold chain swing Son of God
Iceberg gem shines on the neck of ghetto flight bird
Getting fly like word
Let it settle
I remember cats snatched off the pedal, steal and bite days
Doo-rags worn tight, piranha bite ways
Smoke cheeba through the lung Arabian camel
Fast like a cheeta now I'm knocked off my African sandal
God damn you, Ethiopian skin mechanical
Trapped in ghetto's meg-yard where mega-hard
Arms swing metal palms iron skin leopard
Holding evil metal eagle attacks the desert
Paranoid fingertips stitched with three-fifty and seven metal shit
Tucked behind the belt ghetto style like delicate street etiquette
Never lacked toast metal cow got milk in the gut settlin'
Cats gotta eat swallow beef horribly melanin mahogany
Black boys feed face with rapnoid
Eight arms working short circuit manufactured crack melted
Slinging shot guns through the mouth of cracked helmets, black felt it
Cats who pop flows shot heavy through the nostril
Brain sizzle grab the pistol and get hostile
He caught you alone fuse blown
Unemployed screaming ''That's why I robbed you!''
Tired of the Medicaid, deaded by the car Novocain filled with lemonade
''You better get a job!'' mother talked, just another hawk
He nearly ate a bodega food stamp transaction
Left me in corners buckled me accompanied by evil hands clappin'
Rockin' my ''hell I made it'' wetsuit stitch
So I can swim in elevators crazy wet through piss
I rock my simulated air tank bit
So I can leave pressures of oxygen where my mic's lit
I'm just a pigeon...
