let down through the breakthrough
i travel as i hunger for the darkness below me
when i’m praying for the light above
to save this soul inside me
should i? would i? could i?
outcast from my own kind never knowing
soaring through my own mind never knowing
how could they live with what their doing
twist of my spine
oh god fuck
i don’t get it
breathe with me
just breathe with me
it’s up to me as i hunger
lay slow and still as i wonder
pray for darkness down in this hollow
but i try to grope
it’s up to me as i sleep again
my body lays down as i holler
it’s all inside but i confess in me
i like me

I Came From A Place I Forgot
I Woke Up In A Parking Lot
Far From A Meal & A Cot
On The Corner
Where All The Streets Got The Same Name
Maybe My Brains On The Brink Of Insane
Pain Between The PapersWhile Sleepin On The Train
This The Land Of Milk And Honey
Know What I?m Sayin
The Invisible Man Times Three
Black, Down & Out
Out Standing On A Corner No Doubt
Now A Nation Of Homeless
Sleepin In Bus Stations
Another Win For The Pilgrims
Who Said No More Haitians
As I Proceed
Someone To Feed Me Is What I Need
Through Three Blocks Of Dealers
Tryin To Hit Me Off Wit Weed
Avenue & Boulevard Hungry As A M-Fucka
Hope To Get A Ride From A Trucker
Everybody Know I Ain?t No Sucker
Everyone Used To Drop 30 At The Rucker
Away From Crazy Kids In Generation Wrekked
Dissin Pyramids While Praisin Projects
Walk Past Old Folks Gettin No Respect
Callin Young Folks A Bunch A No Good Rejects
And I Walk On

An Eye For An Eye
I Can?t Recognize The Man In The Mirror
Is It I, It Is I Now Who This Cat I?m Lookin At
Cause I?ve Been Waiting So Long To Get Where I?m Goin
An For An Eye In This Country Tis Of Thee
Now How The Hell Can I Be Free
Who This Cat I?m Lookin At
Cause I Been Lost So Long Without Anybody Knowin

So I Move On And I Walk On
Past The Preachers And The Pimps Gettin Their Talk On
Now Why Do Home Gotta Be Where The Negative Roam
To Be Or Not To Be – So I Roll Alone
I?m Trapped Within This Skin & These Bones
Temporary Kings On Cellular Phones
Can I Last As I Walk Past
Cigarette Billboards & Malt Liquor Ads
Walkin On Broken Bottles & Potato Chip Bags
Everyone I See Got The Nerve To Brag
Where They From What They Got
And Don?t Own Squat
Disrespect Where They From And Ya Might Get Shot
Zombies Askin Me What The Latest Bomb Be
Should Shot The Fuckin Sheriff & The Fuckin Deputy
For Ok In The Drug Trade And Lettin It Be
But I Know Prison For Me Is An Industry
So I Walk
I Heard The Best Things In Life Be Free
Didn?t God Make The Land The Air We Breathe
Not For The Homeless Don?t Give A Damn About Me
In The Mirror Somebody Else Is Starin At Me
Maybe Prison Is The Skin I?m Within
All This Time I Been Sufferin Can?t Fix It Wit A Bufferin
Plus They Said I?ll Never Work In This Town Again
Damn So I Keep On Walkin

An Eye For An Eye
I Can?t Recognize The Man In The Mirror
Is It I, It Is I Now Who This Cat I?m Lookin At
Cause I?ve Been Waiting So Long To Get Where I?m Goin
An For An Eye In This Country Tis Of Thee
Now How The Hell Can I Be Free
Who This Cat I?m Lookin At
Cause I Been Lost So Long Without Anybody Knowin

Lil Day Day Is Big Day And Just Did Time
Seen Him Standin On The Unemployment Line
Which Collided Wit The Line Of The Health Clinic
I Seen Crazy Stacy Her Ass Standin Up In It
No More Welfare Cut Her Medicaid
Damn My Mama Used To Do Her Braids
I Keep Walkin So They Don?t See Me
But I Doubt If They Doin Any Better Than Me
So I Walk On Never Take The Planet For Granted
I Paved The Concrete, Asphalt & Granite
I Walk Past 3 Brothers Sittin On The Porch
Wit A Yard Of Dirt And Littered Wit Newports
Talkin How They Comin Up While They Sittin On Their Ass
As I Walk Past Em I?m A Target Of Their Laughs
And One Said Lets Get Em For His Fuckin Stash
As I Walked Fast Past The Other Yards Wit Grass
Had A Lil Cash Tried To Make It Last
From A Few Deals I Made From Cleanin Windshields
I Ran Like A Rally They Caught Me In An Alley
Can?t Get Out The Ghetto From New York To Cali
I Thought I Had Nuthin Till I Felt The Knife
And Now I Ain?t Even Got A Life

I am anger
Under pressure
Lost it cages
A prisoner
The first to escape

I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one

I – I – I
Everything that I see is for me

Yes, I am giant
I’m a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don’t try it
The power’s in one

I – I – I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I – I – I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can’t cut the hero down

I am virgin
I’m a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I’ll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You’ll never
Be stronger than me

I – I – I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I – I – I
Don’t follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I – I – I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I – I – I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed

I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
You’ll never
Never make the hero bleed

Hear the children cryin’,
but I know they cry not in vain.
Now the times are changin’;
love has come to bloom again.

Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops
reminds us of youthful days.
But now it’s not rain that water the cane crops,
but the sweat from man’s brow;
the substance from our spine.
We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time:
Hallelujah time!

Yes, you can hear the children singing: Hallelujah time!
As they go singing by and by: Hallelujah time!
Oh, “hallelujah” singing in the morning.
Hallelujah time! Let them sing; don’t let them cry.

Over rocks and mountains
the sheep are scattered all around.
Over hills and valleys,
they are everywhere to be found.
But though we bear our burdens now,
All afflictions got to end somehow:
From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough.

Why won’t you let us be, to live in harmony?
We like to be free like birds in a tree.

Hallelujah time! Yes, you can hear the children singing.
Hallelujah time! Yes, as they go singing by and by.
Hallelujah time! Oh “hallelujah” singing in the morning.
Let them sing; never let them cry.
Hallelujah time! “Hallelujah” singin’ in the morning

walk into th sunlight so bright
illumination blocking out the night
she knows that the promises are airtight
there’s no doubt and you can see it in her eyes
you’ll hear her siging to heaven –
even without letting out a word to be heared
in every single situation (none too big – none too small)
she looks up and the world looks on

Chorus 1
she sings hallelujah
when all has become nothing
her hope the savior, has colored all she does
and taints the way she loves
she sings hallelujah, and falls to the ground again
with hands stretched up to the sky
waiting for the day, she’ll hear the father say…

step into the spotlight-so bright
a character check in the dead of night

to cut the stays of reason, till death defy
all understanding in th neighbour’s eye
to run the race like this day’s the last
celebrate, in all we do and all we say
look up-’cause the world looks on

Chorus 1

Chorus 2
we sing hallelujah
when all has become nothing
our hope in the saviour, has covered all we do
let it be for you
we’ll sing hallelujah, and fall to the ground again
with hands stretched up to the sky
we’re waiting for the day, we’ll hear the father say
yeah to hear him say
“well done, goo and faithful one
enter in, come on share with me
welcome home, good and faithful one
on and on to eternity”

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

[Chorus] You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

[Chorus]

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

[Chorus x4]
Hallelujah

I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found

I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung

Let me hear you sing, Hallelujah

Oh tell it to the man who’s power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it ’till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope you’ll soon be justified

There is a better way of life and it’s not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind

I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung

Hallelujah

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don’t really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah…

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah…

baby i’ve been here before
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…

well there was a time when you let me know
what’s really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there’s a god above
but all i’ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…

Baby I will soon be leaving
And I know that you are feeling down
But every week I’ll send a letter
To let you know my love will never change
I promise you I’ll always feel the same
So remember in your heart
Baby when we are apart
There is no need for cryin’
Cause even if I am

Halfway round the world
That won’t stop me from loving you
Halfway round the world
I’ll still be feeling the way I do now
I wanna hold you baby
Cause I’m gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I’m halfway round the world

Baby when the miles are growing
You and I will still be going strong
No matter what your friends are saying
Don’t give up on what you’re waiting for
Cause one day I’ll be knocking on your door
So remember in your heart
Baby when we are apart
There is no need for crying
Cause even if I am

Halfway round the world
That won’t stop me from loving you
Halfway round the world
I’ll still be feeling the way I do now
I wanna hold you baby
Cause I’m gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I’m halfway round the world

If I could
You know that I would find a way to stay for good
But I must go now
I wanna hold you baby
Cause I’m gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I’m

Halfway round the world
That won’t stop me from loving you
Halfway round the world
I’ll still be feeling the way I do now
I wanna hold you baby
Cause I’m gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I’m halfway round the world

Repeat

[Noreaga]
Word up son
I did cause I had to discipline niggaz, knahmsayin?
Eatin like he live, he ain’t live, word up
Nobody can’t eat if I can’t, word up
If I can’t eat God, don’t let nobody eat God
You ain’t live – I’ll eat ya food kid
I’ll take your food, it’s on
It’s on now.. word up

Cause he’s a halfway – thug that he betray
If you got locked that ass’d probably come home gay
smack, blood out ya mouth (what the fuck you say)
Break your feeble ass down (cause you ain’t in my league)

Yo, now ain’t that the pot callin the kettle black
I used to peddle crack, you never sold drugs so stop frontin
I pushed the war button, you cold panicked
Use tools to fix ya fucking face like a mechanic
Dramatic, dynamic, and underhanded
You say the shit that I say for so long I can’t stand it
The God bandit, erupt like volcano
Shittin lava, right on they armor, you blood(?) farmer
What Wha? (??)Hasa, gato, nuto cuatro(??)
Imbalance the scales of slaughter, Iraq discipline
and open ya face, spit on the cut, pour the Henny in
??? fuck a popa get smoked properly
It ain’t even got to be handed on record
Just me and you, one on one, I’m only one
Yo, the only one, ??? team alphabet
Your power counterfeit, fraudulent, fraudulent yo
Who’s fascinated? I get highly lifted and upgraded
You playa hate it, bite me before I made it
My opposition, competition ya code scratched
like gats without serial numbers that don’t match
CNN form, gang is called “Art of War”
Yo you weak minded, dumb deaf the nigga blinded
Left behind in, lost and found you can’t find it
John the Baptist, observe, mad water
Surveillance my style, exile, feeble and fragile
Not one crew, fuck you up like we do
252 (25 to life kid) CNN will shoot right through
Set it off (what) break you off, just like a big brick
Top that shit, mix and contaminate it
Navigate it, 2-5 the most hated
My satellite will orbit in rap, planet’s my oxygen
We poppin it, kick through door, do-rag and moccasin
You can’t stop, Lieutenant Arab
Thirsty to have what you have
Bust a new trade, Illuminati be the new age
Masquerade courageous, loud and boisterous in three stages
They try to get my Thunn twist in cages
So get the word spread, spread it like love
You halfway – thug nigga you betray
Yo I used to hang around with y’all, cover ground with y’all
Now I flip turn around and pull the pound on y’all
Dissolve, that weak shit you thought just revolved
like the Earth at its axis, I got access to map this
pure blackness, yo attack this – blood sucker of the poor
My power show and prove, livin on the 5th floor
We at war, with the foolish
Get deducted, lose points, they can’t do this
like I do this so what what, what what, what what, what what!
