A Song For You. (Lyrics Thread)

[Clear Skies]

Tracy Chapman - You're The One

Some say you're crazy
Say that you're no good
Say your family's cursed with bad blood
But I think you're cute and misunderstood
And I wouldn't change you if I could

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

Some say you're bitter
Think you're mean
Uncouth untamed and unrestrained
But I think you're sensitive and sweet
Stay as you are don't change a thing

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

Some say you're bawdy
Wicked and wild
A restless useless juvenile
But I think you're funny and I like your smile
Want to be with you want you to stay awhile

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

A no ‘count mixed up
Amount to nothing
A day away from a bum on the street
Some low class kind of royalty
That's what they say about you
When they're talking to me

Some say you're bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
But I know what you love and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

The Crippler

By SODOM

Don't believe in rights
There is no such thing
Tearing up the garbage
With pain and suffering

Breaking rules is your desire
You got no sympathy
I'll put you in a wheelchair
That's your penalty

Nothing is secure
Nowhere is safe
Once you cross the line
I will break your spine

The crippler
Broadcast violence
The crippler
Prime time gladiator
The crippler
Bloodsport champion
The crippler
He will take you down

Shattering your kneecaps
The crowd begins to roar
They want more violence
This is a bloody war

Nothing is secure
Nowhere is safe
Once you cross the line
I will break your spine

The crippler
Broadcast violence
The crippler
Prime time gladiator
The crippler
Bloodsport champion
The crippler
He will take you down

Mutilated bodies
Crying out in vain
I will get the trophies
They will not regain

Once you cross the line
I will break your spine

The crippler
Broadcast violence
The crippler
Prime time gladiator
The crippler
Bloodsport champion
The crippler
He will take you down

Adrenaline is pumping
Better you than me
I'm gonna make you bleed
I love brutality

The crippler
Broadcast violence
The crippler
Prime time gladiator
The crippler
Bloodsport champion
The crippler
He will take you down
The crippler
Kicks to the genital
The crippler
Bigfoot in your face
The crippler
Pulling off your fingernails
The crippler
There is no better place

Delight In Slaying

By SODOM

Fear neither men nor fates
No laughter of the folk
No power of the heaven
Desolation of the earth
Worship blood and fire
Worship swords and spears
Damn them who have pity
Kill them who have tears

Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying

Find ecstasy in vengeance
The joy of life and death
Raise yourself in pride
With courage and success
Pity not the fallen
They have never known
These evil ones shall cast away
Strike down them hard and low

Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying

Despise also the cowards
The liars and the fools
They are the slaves that perish
They are the stupid brood

Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying

I am the god of war
Supreme and terrible one
My judgements true and righteous
Mourning will come
I am the flame that burns
In every heart of man
Revealed are all the secrets
Reborn are all the saints

Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying
Delight in slaying

Sympathy For The Devil
The Rolling Stones


Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year, Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ, Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate, Washed his hands and sealed his fate

CHORUS: Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg, When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, Held a general's rank, When the Blitzkrieg raged, And the bodies stank

CHORUS

I watched with glee, While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades, For the Gods they made
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all, It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors, Who get killed before they reached Bombay

CHORUS

Just as every cop is a criminal, And all the sinners Saints
As heads is tails, Just call me Lucifer, 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

CHORUS

Woo, who, Oh yeah, get on down, Oh yeah, Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who,

Sheryl Crow - Soak Up The Sun

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching tv
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on

Riding with Private Malone
David Ball


I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds
when an ad that said old chevy some how caught my eye
the lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
but I had that thousand dollars in my hand

It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
when I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
what she'd called a Chevy was a sixty six corvette
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
but what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
the date was nineteen sixty six and this is what he wrote

Chorus
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
if you're reading this then I didn't make it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
and though you may take her and make her your own
you'll always be riding with Private Malone

Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good
I love to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
all the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
the buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
but it picked up that oldie show especially late at night
I'd get the feeling sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
a soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me

Chorus
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
who fought for his country and never made it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of his back when it was new
he told me to take her and make her my own
and I was proud to be riding with Private Malone

One night it was raining hard I took the curve too fast
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
they didn't get his name but I know without a doubt

Chorus
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
who fought for his country and never made it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of his back when it was new
I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
that night I was riding with Private Malone
oh thank god i was riding with Private Malone.

[HolyWarrior]

i. Sleeping Wide Awake

Once not so long ago I lived far below
Where you are I didn't even know
Home was far away, I was sleeping wide awake
Breaking down, waiting for the sound
But I can't hear it now, is it all too late?
'cause I would sell my dreams if I could be awake
If I could be awake

There--walking into walls, piercing through the pain
Here we are reaching through the rain
I almost caught a glimpse, to feel that Sunday high
I would fall, this makes no sense at all
But I can't hear it now, not a single word
And though I strain my voice I cannot be heard
Outside the smile the insider breaks
And I would give my dreams if I could be awake

(chorus) Whatever you're looking for,
don't ever start looking behind
Whatever you want to change,
you better start changing your mind
'cause everything can be done
stand up, 'cause this is your time

ii. Hanging in the Balance

Go where you're going to, you can rule your mind
You will not decay, decay is always waiting
You've got nowhere to go so you look behind
What you sought to find is always fading
Wish to be wishless; less can live evermore
more doesn't satisfy the deeper feeling
Lose if you want to find, find what you're looking for
For all you dream can live--live as if to satisfy the meaning

chorus

Drink in the big dream, dream but you have to wait
Wait 'til you get it right, write down every letter
Paint with the broadest stroke, stroke through the deepest sea
See what you have in mind to make it better
Get in on the ground floor--floor to ceiling is so high
High will become the low--it will make sense
Want always wants some more, more never is enough
Enough is enough--remember, life is hanging in the balance

chorus

iii. Lost and Found

Don't you think if you can be lost
don't you think that you can be found
don't you think if you were the world you would turn it around

chorus

iv. Awakening the Stranger

In the time it takes to be lost and found
In the wake of something not for the crowd
Awakening the stranger in your soul
It isn't always quite that easy
Awakening the stranger in your soul

All the rage the world goes on outside
It's alright, come in here, it's safe to hide
Awakening the stranger in your soul
is more than just a thought or feeling
There is no worldly danger beyond control
There's so much more than what we're seeing
awakening the stranger in your soul

v. Slide

Give up all the reasons that you know
Slide down where the time moves nice and slow
Ease back and relax, no figures and no fax
Awakening the stranger in your soul

It's alright to give up your control
(come in where it's safe, there is no I)
Move along, we've paid your expressway toll
(Look at all the others floating high)
It's the 5am alarm, no time to use your charm
Surrender is the only way to go
Awakening the stranger in your soul
No thought for yourself, you just let go

vi. Stranger in Your Soul

When you come to make love your only goal
Words cannot describe the feeling
Awakening the stranger in your soul
From the shallow to the deepest meaning
When you come to make love your only goal
Words cannot describe the feeling
Now we're here in full sight, we can be whole
Let's dive and never hit the ceiling

There--walking into walls, piercing through the pain
Here we are reaching through the rain
I almost caught a glimpse, brighter than the sky
a child grown, a stranger coming home
and I can hear it now, every single word
and when I strain my voice I will be assured
Outside the storm, but in here the big break
That I might chance to dream, that I might be awake
Awakening the stranger in your soul

Uaschitschun

By RUNNING WILD

No more eagles gonna ride the wind
Turning circles in the sky
Badlands growing and the bison's gone
Uaschitschun tell me why

Why'd you kill my creed
Claiming earth and wind
You never kept your vow
But you can't lock me in

I'm riding free
Riding free with the wind
Free as an eagle
Proud as a king

My mother's the earth and my father's the wind
You can't possess them, they are free
It's time for you to see what you have done
Can't hold my soul cause I will flee

Why you kill yourself
Ravage what you need to live
You can't eat your gold
Nature's calling you

Only when the last tree has died,
and the last river been poisoned,
and the last fish been caught,
will man realise that he cannot eat money...

A Call To Arms

By PEGAZUS

Our path was set in stone
Many years ago
Forefathers of the past
Paved the way we know
We'll carry the burning flame
With honor and pride
So all you faithful leagions
Together we will ride

We unite, we are one
We will fight, this is a call to arms
Strenght and pride, is on our side
We wan't fall, this is a call to arms

We are the chosen ones
No one can deny
The gods have spoken loudly
Hear our battle cries
We come from an ancient future
Prepared to attack
A force to be rockoned with
We won't back down

We unite, we are one
We will fight, this is a call to arms
Strenght and pride, is on our side
We wan't fall, this is a call to arms

We unite, we are one
We will fight, this is a call to arms
Strenght and pride, is on our side
We wan't fall, this is a call to arms

We unite, we are one
We will fight, this is a call to arms
Strenght and pride, is on our side
We wan't fall, this is a call to arms

Third Eye Blind
Motorcycle Driveby

Summer time and the wind is blowing
Outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes,
it crashes through the windows,
And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew,
I could never have you
I knew that before you did,

Still I'm feeling stupid,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes,
And you don't mind,
And you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.

I don't believe you,
You're so serene. Careening through the universe,
Your axis on a tilt,
Guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,

And there's things I'd like to do that,
You don't believe in,
I would like to build something,
You know it's never going to happen,

And there's this burning.
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone.
And I've never been so alive,
Where's the soul.
I want to know,
New York City is evil.
The surface is everything,
but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this will be the last time,
We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you and you'll wonder,
Who I am.

And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,

I go home to the coast.
It starts to rain,
I paddle out,
On the water Alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain.
I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me...
Home.

And I never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.

Pile Of Skulls

By RUNNING WILD

Hey, Mr. President, Mr. Military Man
Kings and Queens
More evil that it seems
You lie, you cheat, you betray, you kill all the way
You wade through blood in your boots of steel
You hide the truth from its reveal
The world's bleeding wounds will never heal

So look in the mirror and see who you are
You made our lives an abbatoir
A man-eating machine that's what you are

Pile of skulls, conspiracy
Beware of the revealing key
No dance of joy, no harmless spree
No chance for you to hide or flee

Liar's tongue, tricks of deepest dye
Snake-skinned pack
You're evil and you're sly
Unjust, you hunt, you hate, you take all the way
You're cutting throats with poisoned blades
Your recklessness overflows the graves
You try to make us all your slaves

So look in the mirror and see who you are
You made our lives an abbatoir
A man-eating machine that's what you are

Pile of skulls, conspiracy
Beware of the revealing key
No dance of joy, no harmless spree
No chance for you to hide or flee

Tears and pain, never ending shame
Bloodsucking lice
Play their evil game
Your doom is sealed, the truth revealed all the way
Headless you still run around
You can't believe you're losing ground
On your knees to take the count

So look in the mirror and see who you are
You made our lives an abbatoir
A man-eating machine that's what you are

Pile of skulls, conspiracy
Beware of the revealing key
No dance of joy, no harmless spree
No chance for you to hide or flee

Mama
B J Thomas


Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done?
Mama, oh Mama
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
'cause he was too big for you to try?
Mama, Ma-a-ma

And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the Little League?
It was Mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older
Mama, Mama


It was Mama, my ma-a-a-ma-a-a

Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma

Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation?
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone?
Mama, Mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced your future bride?
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, Mama
Ma-a-m-a-a, my Ma-a-ma-a
It was Ma-a-m-a-a

MAMA SANG A SONG
Walter Brennan
Vocals by the Johnny Mann Singers
Written by Bill Anderson

(GOD PUT A SONG IN THE HEART OF AN ANGEL, AND SOFTLY SHE SANG IT TO ME.)

I GET TO THINKING LOTS OF TIMES ABOUT BACK WHEN I WAS A LAD,
OF THE OLD HOME-PLACE WHERE I GROWED UP;
OF THE DAYS BOTH GOOD AND BAD.
MY OVERALLS WAS HAND-ME-DOWNS,
MY SHOES WAS FULL OF HOLES,
AND I USED TO WALK FOUR MILES TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY,
THOUGH THE RAIN AND THE SLEET AND THE COLD.

I"VE SEEN THE NIGHTS WHEN MY DADDY WOULD CRY
FOR THE THINGS THAT HIS FAMILY WOULD NEED,
BUT ALL HE EVER GOT WAS A BAD-LAND FARM
AND SEVEN HUNGRY MOUTHS TO FEED,
AND YET...AND YET, OUR HOME-FIRE NEVER FLICKERED ONCE,
'CAUSE WHEN ALL THESE THINGS WENT WRONG,
MAMA TOOK THE HYMN-BOOK DOWN, AND MAMA SANG A SONG.

(WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS...)

I BEEN ROCKED TO SLEEP MANY A NIGHT
TO THE TUNE OF "WHAT A FRIEND"; COME MORNING,
"ROCK OF AGES WOULD WAKEN ME GENTLY ONCE AGAIN.
THEN DAD, HE'D REACH UP AND TAKE THE BIBLE DOWN
AND READ IT, READ IT LOUD AND LONG.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MAYBE OUR HOME WAS BLEST
WHEN DADDY WOULD SAY, "MAMA, SING A SONG."

SISTER LEFT HOME FIRST, I GUESS,
THEN BOB AND THEN TOMMY AND THEN DAN.
THEN DAD'S HAIR WAS TURNIN’ WHITE --
‘N I HAD TO BE MAMA'S LITTLE MAN.
BUT IT SEEMED THAT AS DADDY’S BACK GROWED WEAK,
MOTHER’S FAITH JUST GROWED STRONG.
AND THEM WERE THE GREATEST DAYS OF ALL, WHEN MAMA SANG A SONG.

(ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME.
LET ME HIDE MYSELF IN THEE.)
OOH OOH OOH (Through Recitation)

I GUESS THE HOUSE IS STILL STANDING; I DON'T GET BACK MUCH NO MORE.
NO VOICE IS LEFT TO FILL THEM HALLS,
‘N NO STEPS TO GRACE THE FLOOR.
YOU SEE, MY MAMA SINGS IN HEAVEN NOW,
AROUND GOD'S GOLDEN THRONE.
BUT I'LL ALWAYS BELIEVE THIS WORLD
IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE...ONE TIME...MY MAMA...SANG... A SONG.

(PRECIOUS MEMORIES FILL MY SOUL...)

Silent Screams

By HALFORD

Look at me I'm chasing
After dreams left in the storm
What I am is all
That really matters now
That lies are gone -
That lies are gone,
All the lies are gone,
The lies are gone.

Tempting fate and losing
Friends along the way I loved
No regrets
I'm standing
With a needle in my heart -
Needle in my heart,
Needle in my heart,
Needle in my heart.

You'll never know
My life means everything
Still I scream because
There's nothing left to do until the end.

The world goes on
With all that I've become
And still I scream inside
For all the pain I've taken hasn't changed.

Nothing's changed at all
The truth is like a chain
Heaven's calling me
The place that I belong
Killing pain -
Killing pain.

Close my eyes a million faces
Get inside my mind.
Take a breath and fill my troubled
Soul with all mankind.
Killing pain -
Killing pain,
I'm killing pain,
Killing pain.

The world goes on
With all that I've become.
And still I scream inside
For all the pain I've taken hasn't changed...

The man in black
I'm coming back to spew my evil hate.
My crown of horns and bloody thorns
I'll dig up what you fear.

I am the shape that's in your room that watches over you.
I am the needle in your heart - your disillusioned God.

I am God, I am fate, I am all the sins you make, yeah - hate.
I am black, I am white, I am the blood upon the knife, yeah - hate.

Since time began I made a vow to drag you underground;
To steal your soul of purity and watch you waste away.

I am pure, I am right, I'm the God that makes you fight, yeah - hate.
I am life, I am death, I will steal your final breath, yeah - hate.

I prey upon your broken dreams your weakness gives me strength.
I'm laughing at your silent screams I'll crush you with my hate.

You take it all
And face the fear that's here
Until the Silence Screams
it leaves you with no choice to carry on.

You'll never fall
When all is said and done
The only Scream is here
The journey never ends - it's just begun...

The lies that never learned
The needles in my heart
And things will never change
So everytime I scream I'm killing pain.

Burn In Hell

By JUDAS PRIEST

Speak to me
Of those days I won't forget
Your worst dreams
Has just returned - to pay you back
I'm still laughing
There's not much else I can do
But one's thing's certain
I'm coming back for you

Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who you used it on
It's time to burn in hell

Say my name
I can hear you whisper
Not to blame?
You are going to blister
Scream in the night
I've been counting the days
It's so amusing
To see you again

Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell

Die!
Why?
Time to pay the price...

Kill...
I will!
Have my sacrifice...

Plead...
With fear...
I am getting near...

Friend?
Liar!
Time to eat some fire!

Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell

Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell

Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Snarl like a dog
You'll scream like a banshee
Stuck like a hog
You're gonna love me

Burn in hell
I can hear you whisper
Burn in hell
You are going to blister
Burn in hell
Screaming like a banshee
Burn in hell
Burn

Killing Machine

By JUDAS PRIEST

I never give no answers, I never tell no lies
I never walk a straight line so I never get surprised
I don't ask no favors so I won't get abused
I learned to win when I was young
So I'm never ever gonna lose

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract, on you

I never ask no questions, I never speak my mind
I always found that silence helps to keep me and my kind alive
I take care of business, It takes care of me
I look after myself and do it well
'cause somebody's always looking for me

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

What manner of man am I?
A gun, lump sum and then I move on
What manner of man are you?
Stab a friend's back to jump a queue

I do what I do 'cos I can't do nothing better
You do what you do, just defendin' yourself

'cos you ain't got nothin' better to do

I got no place, no name, I'm just a killing machine
I kept the population down, if you know what I mean
I never stop in one place, I move about the cities
Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that
I'm the best that there is

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

[August Borms]

On Golden Fields (De Leeuwen Dansen) (Ancient Rites)

We ask not the pleasures that riches supply
Our weapons shall regain
What betrayers must buy
Throwing back the invaders
Reigning our land and waves
And finally teach these nobles
What it means to be slaves

Far more large in numbers
Better armed, they came
But are it not our cities
That these rascals claimed?
A victory rather certain
They held within their hands
But courage craft and justice
Gave us a stronger stand

Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar
But under foreign rule
Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar

We shall suffer nomore

We shall suffer nomore

Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal
Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal
Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen
De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen

Oh, land of Flanders
From field to shore
Shall view us as victors

Oh, land of Flanders
From field to shore
Shall view us as victors
Or view us nomore!

For victory was ours, against all odds
Truly a miracle in a world without gods

Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar
But under foreign rule
Bloodstained flags
Hear our men
We shall suffer nomore

We shall suffer nomore!

( I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time
and dust teaches my ears. And the troubadour sings. )

Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal
Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal
Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen
De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen

En de leeuwen dansen...

[SlowwHand]

IMMIGRANT SONG
Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

Two, three, four.

Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
"Valhalla I am coming."

On we sweep with, with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
An' we come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ah hah hah hah hah hah.

Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.

From The Hall of Valhalla

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother, my sisters and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place on Asgard in the halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

[HolyWarrior]

Impact 1--Fate Speaks 16:00
When every word has been written,
when every line has been read
When every person cries for justice,
and every partner drops dead
When every loss has been suffered,
when every war has been fought
When every son's been laid to rest,
when every lesson has been taught
There comes a time when you realize
it's all over sooner or later
All of us together--stop pretending it's not
It's going down, it's going down
nobody listens, I can't believe it

When every breath has been drawn,
when every sickness has been shared
When every soul has quit religion,
when every priest has run scared
When all the actors take a last bow,
when all the big deals have gone down
When every cynic has crucified us,
when every mother screams out loud
There comes a time when you realize
it's all over, sooner or later
All of us together, stop pretending it's not
It's going down, it's going down
nobody listens, I can't believe it

Found asleep at the wheel,
believing in things that are not real
Our reasons more of the same
pointless encounters, endless cliches
Things escape me time and again,
running in circles while anarchy wins
Not me, I'm not going down!
Refuse to sell out or lay down
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks

Face my sentence in dispair,
pacing the floor the enemy's there
I'm just so sick and tired of it all,
nothing but commerce makes my skin crawl
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks
fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks

You think I've lost it for what I have said,
you've got the problem and it's all in your head
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel
Why do we take it, we're out of control
it's getting worse now and we're selling our souls
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel

Why do we take it, we're out of control
it's getting worse now and we're selling our souls
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel
You think I've lost it for what I have said,
you've got the problem and it's all in your head
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel

Fate speaks!

Impact 2--Fading Fast 8:45
In just a moment your life can slip away,
wasting time by wasting chances
When all that's left here is emptiness and hope,
it's always darkest before the dawn will show
So I've got to stay right just to see it,
I've got to rise up and be much more
There's nothing new here, my impact fading fast,
why seize the hour if I cannot make it last
The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away,
the music's dying but its epitaph will say
It's not over yet, just to see it,
I've got to rise up and be--and be so much more
Believe I know it, I've got to be right...

There's a light at the end but a darkness begins
as I take the task at hand
For the glimpse I see is all that I need
just to try and understand why my fate has let it stand
Feel the meaning of power, the meaning of fear,
but it's death that's chasing me fast
So who really gives a damn if I make it at all,
m just another one that's passed
the pain of a marathon that lasts...

Impact 3--No Returning 8:20
Just call me Mr. Dark, Mr. Negative
I'm pessimistic, fatalistic with an attitude that's turned ballistic
No rhyme or reason, no symmetry and no excuse.
Let it go, flow with the chaos
Hold tight 'cause I can't refuse
fate speaks, fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
once you've started on this road
you've lost everything you have and life is over
no impact 'til you make it stronger

Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
once you've started on this road
you've lost everything you have and life is over
no impact 'til you make it stronger

Impact 4--Time Enough 9:15
When every word has been written
and every line has been read
When every person cries for justice,
when every partner drops dead
When every loss has been suffered,
when every war has been fought
When every son's been laid to rest,
when every lesson has been taught

"...and this is the moment when you will make your impact...
an intensity found in your life when you make a real
and profound difference...seize it...seize it...rise up"

When all the actors take a last bow,
when all the big deals have all gone down
When every cynic has crucified us,
when every mother screams out loud

There's nothing left to ask for,
there's nothing left to say
The same old songs are playing again
just like it's yesterday
There's nothing left to hope for,
there's nothing left to be
It's all been done before,
but maybe I'll wait right here and see

There's nothing left but boredom,
there's nothing left but pain
There's nothing to do 'cause the suffering lasts
as it keeps you in its wake
I'd like to make a difference,
yes I'd like to make one try
But who the hell am I fooling?
There's barely time enough to die...

Impact 5--Last Call 11:10
I've heard enough, let's make it happen
let's turn it over, make life a positive
No more excuses, I'm making progress,
I'm moving forward with new promises
There's nothing left but boredom, nothing left but pain,
there's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before, there's nothing left here,
there's nothing I can say--I can say...

Don't think it's me, I have no fear
I feel it working, there's something new here
Let's make it worth it, still time to react
we've come this far now to make an impact
Now wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never
So wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never

There's nothing left but boredom, nothing left but pain,
there's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before, there's nothing left here,
there's nothing I can say
Now wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never
So wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never

I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
I'll say this over and again, again, again
I've got it--last call, are you going down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
last call, are you going down, down?
Last call, last call, last call, are you going down, down?
Last call, last call, last call, are you going down, down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it--last call, are you going
down down down down down down down down down down down down down down, down down down? 'cause I'm not!

[August Borms]

This is a marching song from WW2, my grandmother says she always loved hearing the German soldiers sing it

Erika (Herms Niel)

1. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Wird umschwärmt Erika.
Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

2. In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
Und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

3. In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
Schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

don't go 'round

[curtsibling]

A fitting song for these times, no matter which side you are on...

Dethrone Tyranny

By GAMMA RAY

Someone is out there he's watching what I do
From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere
I look around me, there's no-one that I see
But still I feel someone's controlling my mind

Save your breath and run
You can't escape the one

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

Forces of evil, they never surrender
Sooner or later the dark era comes

Crying man on the run
He's searching for freedom but there will be none

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

And as the world is dying slowly in our hands
We'll ask for reasons until the bitter end

Who brings us all the sadness
Who brings us all the fear
Who spreads disease and misery
And steals our destiny

A poisoned heart of anger
Sowing the seeds of pain
All see the darkened skyline
And feel the deadly reign

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,

To hell with tyranny

[SlowwHand]

Another for the Iraqi people.

Lonely People
America


This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinking that life has left them dry
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try

Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
She'll never take you down or
Never give you up
You'll never know until you try
















Never give up.

[Clear Skies]

Not a good day...life decided to dump all its **** on me in one fell swoop. Sore throat, pounding headache, psychotic people at school screaming at their ex-girlfriends, near-collapse in corridor...you name it.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

Green Day - Time of your Life

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind.
Hang it on the shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

[Bereta_Eder]

still worried about my filling so

Wish
Ten Bridges Burning

The leaves were falling early, the year fortune looked away
Gold and green looked brighter then, gold seems grey today
The hands of the clock never went my way, nothing ever did
So in the arms of indifference is where I'm going to stay

Set the burning sails (horizon)
Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat)
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame (we're yearning)
Burnmarks never fade (though we are)
Going nowhere fast

Have I lost you for the first time, it won't be the last
For I'll lose you everytime my dreams fall apart, to dust
I may have questions, I may have answers but I sure don't have you
No one shakes an empty hand, let alone embrace the man

Set the burning sails (horizon)
Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat)
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame (we're yearning)
Burnmarks never fade (though we are)
Going nowhere fast

Never walk away
Never turn your back on me
Never walk out on me

Set the burning sails
Time weighs more than gold
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame
Burnmarks never fade
Going nowhere fast

Breathing barely audible while I watch you fighting sleep
But somewhere in the empty land, wolves among the sheep
And all the promises I've ever made seem to break at first touch
But that was then and all we've had is shattered for ever

Never walk away
Never turn your back on me
Never walk out on me

Never Ending Song Of Love
Lyrics by: Delaney Bramlett




I’ve got a never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d have a never-ending love for you



I’ve got a never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d have a never-ending love for you

After all this time of bein’ alone
We can love one another, give for each other
From now on
It’s so good I can hardly stand it

Never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d sing my never-ending song of love for you



After all this time of bein’ alone
We can love one another, live for each other
From now on
It’s so good I can hardly stand it

Never-ending love for you
From now on that’s al I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d sing my never-ending song of love for you

I’ve got a never-ending love for you
FADE: From now on that’s all I want to do

Fetus (Belly-Button Window) by Nas

Yeah..
I want all my niggas to come journey with me
My name is Nas, and the year is 1973
Beginning of me, therefore I could see
Through my belly button window, who I am..

[Verse 1]
I existed in a womb, just like an abyss
Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist
Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix
Twitching cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose
Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or vain
But to take on a name, that my pops chose for me
Bloodstream full of indo, developing eyes
Nine month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s
Was married to pops wishin what she carried would drop
I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones
Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones
Hearin prayers, she axin for my good health
That I become a man and learn to make a way for myself
Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my blood
Mixed with marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin, it's crazy
Both parents is scrappin, I'm not even a baby
A miscarriage can happen

"I shot my way out my mom dukes" x4 (*scratched*)

[Verse 2]
Yo
They must wanna keep me, cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive
Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to survive
When I look hard the lights is killin my eyes
I know when moms is layin down, I get bored, start to get live
Move side to side, hear loud music and vibe
All black babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie
Solar energize, mineralize food flowin through my mothers tube
I'm covered in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the least most comfortable
My umbilical cord choking me
But month 3 was closer, see
Thats when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic
But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last minute
Watchin 'em yell, heard my moms voice well
Feared fist fights, so terrified when we fell
While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall
I wondered if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my view was so large
Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take charge
Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin I'm born in July
But the Lord already figured out a date and time
Septemeber 14th, '73
Get ready world, doctors in the front waitin for me
Arms open cause they know when I drop, alot of ****'s gon' stop
See how the goverment will start re-training cops
Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms "Push and take deep breaths too
Stay calm", holdin her arm, I'm trying to hold on
Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out
Everything is blurry, my first breath screams out
Tears pouring down my pops face he's so proud
Wantin to hold me, but I was so bloody
They washed me off and he said "At least that nigga aint ugly!"
Placed me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her body
She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil
Y'all about to see this world in trouble
Mother****ers..

[Al B. Sure!]

Another anti-abortion song...

Retrospect for Life by Common Sense

Yo, we gotta start respectin life more y'all
You look at your brother man you gotta see yourself
Gotta see the God within him
Brothers gettin changed real quick over nothin
We losin too many of ours
Gotta recreate y'all
Yo, check it

Knowin you the best part of life, do I have the right to take yours
Cause I created you, irresponsibly
Subconciously knowin the act I was a part of
The start of somethin, I'm not ready to bring into the world
Had myself believin I was sterile
I look into mother's stomach, wonder if you are a boy or a girl
Turnin this woman's womb into a tomb
But she and I agree, a seed we don't need
You would've been much more than a mouth to feed
But someone, I woulda fed this information I read
to someone, my life for you I woulda had to leave
Instead I lead you to death
I'm sorry for takin your first breath, first step, and first cry
But I wasn't prepared mentally nor financially
Havin a child shouldn't have to bring out the man in me
Plus I wanted you to be raised within a family
I don't wanna, go through the drama of havin a baby's momma
Weekend visits and buyin J's ain't gon' make me a father
For a while bearing a child is somethin I never wanted to do
For me to live forever I can only do that through you
Nerve I got to talk about them niggaz with a gun
Must have really thought I was God to take the life of my son
I could have sacrificed goin out
To think my homies who did it I used to joke about, from now on
I'ma use self control instead of birth control
Cause $315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth it

[Lauryn Hill (two layers of vocals, same words)]
I, never dreamed you'd leave, in summer
You said you would be here when it rained
[Common] Yo
Why didn't you stay

Seeing you as a present and a gift in itself
You had our child in you, I probably never feel what you felt
But you dealt with it like the strong black woman you are
Through our trials and tribulations, child's elimination
An intergration of thoughts I feel about the situation
Back and forth my feelings was pacin
Happy deep down but not joyed enough to have it
But even that's a lie in less than two weeks, we was back at it
Is this unprotected love or safe to say it's lust
Bustin, more than the sweat in somebody you trust
Or is it that we don't trust each other enough
And believe, havin this child'll make us have to stay together
Girl I want you in my life cause you have made it better
Thinkin we all in love cause we can spend a day together
We talkin spendin the rest of our lives
It's too many black women that can say they mothers
but can't say that they wives
I wouldn't chose any other to mother my understanding
But I want our Parenthood to come from Planning
It's so much in my life that's undone
We gotta see eye to eye, about family, before we can become one
If you had decided to have it the situation I wouldn't run from
But I'm walkin, findin myself in my God
So I can, discipline my son with my writin
Not have a judge tellin me how and when to raise my seed
Though his death was at our greed, with no one else to blame
I had a book of Afrikan names, case our minds changed
You say your period hasn't came, and lately I've been sleepy
So quit smokin the weed and the beadies and let's have this boy



thanks

AMERICA
Neil Diamond


Far
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America

Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America

They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today

My country 'tis of thee
Today
Sweet land of liberty
Today
Of thee I sing
Today
Of thee I sing
Today

Sweet Child O' Mine
Sheryl Crow

He's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
It takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

He's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet chiiiiiiiiiild of mine

good job, Slowwwhand... putting up some less liberal bullshit lyrics...

Better Dayz by 2pac Shakur

Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
Smokin weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids
wanna try now, they lie down and get ran through
Nobody watched 'em clockin the evil man do
Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin victims screamin
Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens
Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
I'd love to see the block in peace
With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast
And only we can change
It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears
Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
Passed by his family, but what could I say?
Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
And pray for better days

Better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days
Got me thinkin bout better days

[Verse Two]
Thinkin back as an adolescent, who would've guessed
that in my future years, I'd be stressin
Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with
Tryin to keep my head up and stay strong
All my homies slangin llello all day long, but they wrong
So I'm solo and so broke
Savin up for some Jordan's, cause they dope
I got a girl and I love her but she broke too, and so am I
I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
So we argue and play fight, all day and night
Makin passionate love 'til the daylight
Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend
Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
So many blessings while we stressin
Lookin for them better days

For better days, better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days

[Verse Three]
Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools
Since back in high school, we was true, me and you
Hardly parted or seperated, we stayed faded
Affiliated with gangbangers and still made it
Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
Still dressin like grown men when rollin
I went to dark, smokin Newports, gamin marks
Got a place in my heart, homey stay smart
Locked you up in the pen, and gave you three to ten
I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
Hopin you well, I know it's hell
Doin time in the cells, you need mail, when you in jail
And me I'm doin cool
I settled down, had a family, workin in night school
Every once in a while, I reminisce
And wonder how we ever came to this
I miss the better days

Better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. I'm thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days

I send this one out, to all the homeboys down in uh, Clinton lockdown
Rikers Island, all them dudes I was uh locked up with,
E Block, F Block, lower H
N-I-C in Rikers Island, downstate
All the peoples I met along the way
Better days is comin homeboy, keep your head up

[Al B. Sure!]

I Aint Mad At Cha by 2pac Shakur

Change, ****
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all niggaz to get up out the hood
****, I'm wit cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nuttin but love for ya, do your thing boy

Yeah, all the homies that I ain't talk to in a while
I'ma send this one out for y'all, knahmean?
Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard y'all tearin up **** out there, kickin up dust
[Danny Boy] I ain't...
Givin a mother****er, heheheheheh
Yeah, niggaz
[Danny Boy] ...mad at cha
Cause I ain't mad at cha

[Verse One: 2Pac]
Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roller
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin how ya changed
Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game
Heard you might be comin home, just got bail
Wanna go to the Mosque, don't wanna chase tail
I seems I lost my little homie he's a changed man
Hit the pen and now no sinnin is the game plan
When I talk about money all you see is the struggle
When I tell you I'm livin large you tell me it's trouble
Congratulation on the weddin, I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that's no bullshitin
I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we'd BOMB
on the first mother****er with the wrong **** on
Now the whole ****'s changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same mother****er bad
Go toe to toe when it's time for roll you got a brother's back
And I can't even trip, cause I'm just laughin at cha
You tryin hard to maintain, then go head
cause I ain't mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)

[Chorus: Danny Boy]
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha

[Verse Two: 2Pac]
We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn't
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I'm gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared
Besides bumpin n grindin wasn't nothin on our mind
In time we learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow
And even though we seperated, you said that you'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived
Don't shed a tear, cause Mama I ain't happy here
I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
They got me goin mad, I'm knockin busters on they backs
in my cell, thinkin, "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"
As soon as I touch down
I told my girl I'll be there, so prepare, to get ****ed down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin at cha
Cause youse a down ass *****, and I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus: Danny Boy]
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: A true down ass *****, and I ain't mad at cha)

[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Father forgive us for livin while all my homies stuck in prison
Barely breatin believin that the world is a prison
It's like a ghetto we can never leave
A broken rose givin bloom to the cracks of the concrete
So many other things for us to see
Things to be, our history so full of tragedy and misery
To all my homies never made it home
The dead peers I shed tattoo tears for, when I'm alone
Picture us inside a ghetto heaven, a place to rest
Findin peace through this land of stress
In my chest I feel pain comin sudden storms
Life full of rain in this game watch for landstorms
Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next
In this world full of countless threats
I beg God, to make a way for our ghetto kids to breathe
Show a sign, make us all believe
Cause I ain't mad at cha



thanks
