I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
With a trunkload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched ?round and ?round ?til half-past down
There was fifty-seven channels and notin? on

Well now home entertainment was my baby?s wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my Japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There?s fifty-seven channnels and nothin? on

Well we might? a made some friends with some billionaires
We might? a got all nice and friendly
If we?d made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said “Bye-bye John
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin? on”

So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
?Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they bsted me for disturbin? the almighty peace
Judge said “What you got in your defense son ?”
“Fifty-seven channels and nothin? on”
I can see by your eyes friend you?re just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin? on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin?…

Like two gigantic Buddhas
Someone carved from jelly
Huge yet nimble
Strong yet gentle
They pace the sawdust circle
No flicker of emotion
Huge yet nimble
Strong yet gentle
Years of dedication
Mental preparation
Huge yet nimble
Strong yet gentle
Two gigantic Buddhas
Someone carved from jelly
Huge yet nimble
Strong yet gentle
Two blancmange mountains
On a plate of sand

Frickley in South Yorkshire, a small mining town
Where once the riot coppers beat the pickets to the ground
Has a football team, and a stand full of fans
Who love their game and who love revenge
If a cop comes near the ground
On a Saturday afternoon
He’ll be heading the bricks
Until he’s over the moon

For twenty years Graham Hill
Risking life and limb
Drove the circuits of the world
And they said it would kill him
“Going so fast is a fine way to win
But one crash could make a mockery of that famous cheeky grin”
As irony would have it
Years after he retired
The light aircraft he was piloting
Exploded, and he died

It’s 2gether, whoa
Ooohhh it’s 2gether, whoa

Number 2-G-E-T-H-E-R
to the CD you play in you car
Drive to, cry to, blow that star
Tiger Woods is 10 strokes under par
So tell me how far you could get
at the superstar sideshow that ain’t it
Don’t throw no fit
just ride on the energy
it’s 2gether from now until infinity.

See all the girls with their hands in the air.
You can tell by the screams this ain’t Lilith Fair
We in a world now 2G’s dragon lair
and we’ll take off our shirts if ya double dog dare
Splitting my pants as I sit in the chair
Revenge of the nerds
Funny Hollywood square!
Tripping, skipping, tobaloo hoo

Kiss and give you back rubs
had to scratch our way up from down in the mud
we weren’t discovered in no Mickey Mouse club
Playing our dub.
Looking for a deal
we’re too for real with 5 on the bill
5 on the court, championship
Just can’t eat one of these potato chips
Yea yea yea, its just the flavor hits
as it bumps your hips
Through the eye of an eagle

Sequel, equal to none
2gether, Masterpiece, job’s done

Walking down 5th Avenue
I saw him walking there with you
People see and people talk
Word travels fast round my block

Might just save you the price of writing
I could save you an hour or two
Walking down 5th Avenue
Walking down 5th Avenue

Don’t know what to ask of you
My mind is gettin’ so confused
Even when I really try
Keeps sounding like I’m saying goodbye

Somewhere deep in my heart I’m hurtin’
‘Cause I keep on remembering you
Walking down 5th Avenue
Walking down 5th Avenue
Such a long way to go

How many times must I look up and say
What kind of fool am I
But I can’t turn my back on the times that we shared
No matter how I try

Walking down 5th Avenue
Can’t seem to shake the thought of you
Even in the dark of night
Your memories of shining light

Though I’m tryin’ to change direction
I pray what I saw ain’t true
Walking down 5th Avenue
Walking down 5th Avenue
Such a long way to go

Do, do, do, do …

Verse One:

6 ‘n tha mornin’ police at my do’ *door knocking*
Fresh Nike’s squeak across my bathroom flo’
Out my back window I made my escape
Didn’t even get a chance to grab my Bout It Bout It tape
Man with no music but I’m happy cause I’m free
In the streets is a place for a playa to be
Got a knot in my pocket when I unleashed the green
Gold tank around my neck my pistol’s close at hand
I’m a self made millionaire in these silly streets
Remotely controlled by hard hip-hop beats
But just livin in tha city is a serious task
Didn’t know what cops wanted, din’t have time to ask

*drum break followed by gunshot 3X*
Unnnnnnggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Verse Two:

See my homeboys coolin way way out
Told them bout my mornin, cold bugged em out
Shot a lil dice til my knees got sore
Kicked around some stories bout the night befo’
TRU to the corner where the fly girls chill
TRU action to some freak until one bitch got ill
She started actin silly, simply would not quit
Called us all punk pussy said we all wasn’t shit
As we walked over to her hoe continued to speak
So we beat the bitch down in the back of the street *screams*
But just livin in the city is a serious task
Tha bitch didn’t know what hit her didn’t have time to ask

*drum break followed by gunshot 3X*
Unnnnnnngggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Verse Three:

Continued clockin freaks with a nice posterior
Roll in an Expedition with the leather interior
Would bring tha teekies but tha ride was rough
Bust a left turn, was on South Broad
Silkk the Shocker was the driver known to get free tell
Had the beepe going off like a high school bell *beeper sounds*
Looked in the mirror, what did we see
Fuckin blue lights, N.O.P.D.
Pig searched our car cause they day was made
Found an uzi, fo’-fo’, and a hand grenade
They t-rew us in the county house, power with lock
No more freaks to see, no more shows to rock
Didn’t want no trouble but the shit must fly
Squabble with this fuckin hater, shanked him in the eye
But just livin in the county is a serious task
Nigga didn’t know what happened didn’t have time to ask

*drum break followed by gunshot 3X*
UnnnnnnnnggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhH!

We bout it bout it
Now I say “Wus up to Ice-T”
This from tha old to tha new generation
This is what hip-hop’s all about
We represent baby
From tha south to tha north to the east coast mid-west
It ain’t nutin but luv
I want to say whats up to Bobby Brown, Andrew Shack
For hookin this & we outty outty
Like 6 ‘n tha Mornin, you heard me?
I told y’all we’re no limit
Represent baby
Unnnnggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You are a man. You wanna be my lover
Don’t break my heart cause I don’t want another
You are a man. You wanna be my lover
Don’t break my heart cause I don’t want another
6 days without a lover

6 days on the run
Looking for a place to have some fun
Night and day without your sweet embrace
I’m going crazy.
6 days gray or black
Trying to find the way to get you back
Night and day without your sweet embrace
I think I’m going crazy

6 days on the run. I can feel it
6 days on the run. I can feel it
6 days on the run, no good without a lover
6 days without you. I can feel it
6 days on the run. I can feel it
6 days without you, no good without your love

If you miss the train I’m on
Then you know that I’ll be gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles


Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four
Lord I’m 500 miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
Lord I’m 500 miles away from home


Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go-a-home this-a-way
This-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way,
Lord I can’t go-a-home this-a-way
