S? de un lugar,
yo s? de un lugar
lejos de casa,
lejos de mi ciudad,
que quiero tanto
como a mi hogar,
yo s? de un lugar.

Quiero volver,
yo quiero volver
ver los amigos
que hace tiempo dej?
y andar las calles
que anduve ayer,
yo quiero volver.

Suenan en mi guitarra
boleritos para ti
Quiero que tu sepas
lo que siento yo por ti.

Tengo tu mirada
aprendida en mi vivir
tengo un llorar, tengo un re?r
tanto aprend?
que hace tanto tiempo
que quisiera estar en…

En ese lugar,
en ese lugar,
lejos de casa,
lejos de mi ciudad
que quiero tanto
como a mi hogar,
yo quisiera estar.

Quiero volver,
yo quiero volver
ver los amigos
que hace tiempo dej?
y andar las calles
que anduve ayer,
yo quiero volver.

Yo te canto tierra
que dejaste huella en mi
a tus sin colores,
a tu puerta y su vivir
Canto a tus mujeres,
a tu alma y a tu sentir.
Esta canci?n naci? de ti,
ya que el amor
que hace tanto tiempo
yo sent?a en mis…

Noches de amor,
noches deamor,
aquella historia
con el tiempo muri?;
y aquella ni?a
de mi canci?n,
de m?, se olvid?.

S? que al volver,
yo s? que al volver,
juntos iremos
recordando el ayer.
Y un tiempo nuevo
ver? nacer
nuestro amor de ayer.

Y
ser? la lluvia
que tu campo haga crecer,
y cuando ella llore
yo con ella llorar?.

Al
llegar la noche
yo la sentir? en mi piel
cerca de m?
cerca otra vez
como el ayer
que hace tanto tiempo
yo sent?a en mis…

Noches de amor,
noches deamor,
aquella historia
con el tiempo muri?;
y aquella ni?a
de mi canci?n,
de m?, se olvid?.

Quiero volver,
yo quiero volver
ver los amigos
que hace tiempo dej?
y andar las calles
que anduve ayer,
yo quiero volver.

S? de un lugar,
yo s? de un lugar
lejos de casa,
lejos de mi ciudad,
que quiero tanto
como a mi hogar,
yo s? de un lugar.

Quiero volver,
yo quiero volver
ver los amigos
que hace tiempo dej?
y andar las calles
que anduve ayer,
yo quiero volver.

Here on the street
Feeling the cool of the dawn
Shuffling feet
Faces are ragged and worn
They’ve been working all night
Waiting for the curtain to rise
While you’re under the sheets
You with the stars in your eyes
Letter box noise
Snapping the day into life
Newspaper boys
Cutting the mist like a knife
We’re beginning to rise
Curtain up the drama begins
It’s the start of the race
All of us wanting to win
People rushing shouting pushing
Got no time for conversation
Inner city population
The struggle for communication
People trying pressure rising
Hook and hustle flex your muscle
It’s all part of living
Do you wanna get away
Restaurant smells
Mix in the heat of the day
Telephone bells
Kissogram girls on her way
Someone’s thinking of you
Birthday boy is in for a treat
And the message is clear
Once a year life can be sweet
Caught in a flash
Cover girl freezes her smile
Media trash
Blinding the crowd with such style
It’s a dazzling affair
A fantasy to star in your dreams
Do you want to believe
Everyone knows what they’ve seen
Twilight time in the city
And the shutters are down
That’s when the singles are lost in their doubles
The happy hour comes round
To help you unwind in the shadows
Takes the tension away
It’s been a hell of a day in the city
Now it’s your time to play
Living under pressure
Do you wanna buy a dream?
I say Phil can you get it he say
Alright alright alright
Tell me when can I get it he say
Tonight tonight tonight
I want money on delivery hey
That’s right that’s right that’s right
I say baby don’t you trust me he say
The city’s a jungle where the strongest survive
Neonic heat
Flooding the darkness with light
The capitol beats
Feeding the pulse of the night
It’s the music of life
Listen to the sound of the crowd
Where the rhythm’s so strong
And the music is playing so loud
Where the rhythm’s so strong
And the music is playing so….

How come all the best athletes
Had the poshest kits
While the slow, fat, thin, and spotty ones
Had shorts that didn’t fit?
They never lingered in the changing rooms
With a home-made note
Or batted only once
Before they got caught
And how come all the sporty types
Were the first to grow breasts?
They had Marks & Sparks bras
I squirmed in a vest
Never wore their sisters’ shorts
With the wrong initial
Or limped back from cross-country
Two hours behind schedule
And how come they said
That games were fun?
If you want the truth
Ask the ones that never won

24 hours to live…
24 hours to live…

Seven-thousand, four hundred, twenty three grains
of sand drop from the hourglass
It’s how much time I got left on this planet
Some motherfucker’s gotta die!
I’m an evil motherfucker ready to tear shit up
I’m gonna put these things on you, and never let up
See, my momma…she was wrong when I was born
That a nigga like E should’a never been born
Too late, big mistake in ’72
It’s ’92, now the year of code blue
15 hours..11 minutes..30 seconds
I’m a motherfuckin’ wreck
Gonna pay back niggas who did me wrong in the past
My days ain’t long
I’m comin’ strong and fast
Lock up 8 niggs..kill up 10 pigs
??? and fuckas are ?altered? by a 2
Now what else can I do?
Fuck, fuck, fuck and plant my seeds
Leavin’ kids in this world like me
The lunatic psycho mutherfucka Eazy-E

Chorus (sang)
24 hours to live
But I don’t wanna die
24 hours to live
Oh why, oh why?
Must die

Sky diving, scuba diving
To Evil Kinevil stunt car drivin’
Bungee cord jumpin’ off a bridge
It’s hard to breathe with a fractured rib
I can’t take this shit
Let me see how much more time I got to spend
Hit more skins
Back up in her pussy
Up in the back
I gotta let off
A few more nuts
I’m starting to panic
I’m starting to sweat
‘Cause I don’t really wanna die yet
Dizzy spells, flashbacks in my head
Niggas ain’t want me to bein’ happy when I’m dead
But I ain’t goin’ out unless 30 niggas die
I’m dying anyway so I’m thinking suicide
Run into a crowd of niggas dyin’ by the pistol
Took the motheruckin’ whistle

Chorus

To sweep with the feet when he hit the concrete
Chop him up, dice him up and sacrifice his meat
Drag him by his ankles to the cemetary
(Screams)
Shut the fuck up nigga
‘Cause you ain’t seen shit
I’m ’bout to take this ???? and staight up grip
I’m holdin’ the neck of the devil and drink his blood
Allowing my soul to be polluted by his evil root
And now I’m mad insane, red as ???? as I strain for my hearbeat
To thumpety-thump to pump, it might burst
False alarms, and no harm that will commit to the E
But now I’m down to an hour 23
Time is moving fast, but not that slow
I thought I had an hour, but it’s seconds left the go
I ran into the office
No more time is left
I ran up to the doctor with a bomb to my (BOOM)

Chorus


Spoken:
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
As time winds down to it’s last 24 hours
in an earth that weighs 60 trillion tons
Travelling 1,037 1/3 mph, how do you define time?
What is a minute?
How important is an hour when 24 hours becomes a lifetime

Oooooh, so define how do we define time?
Now you choose
How will you spend your last 24 hours?
C’mon..talk to me

3X Chorus (“must die” is faded into next chorus loop)

24, 24, 24 hours
The city doesn’t sleep, 7 days a week
24, 24, 24 hours
We’re leaving on a fast plane
24 hours, 24 hours
7 days a week
24 hours, 24 hours
I’m leaving on a fast plane

Dowtown, entertainment, love town, business
All around the clock, all around the world
Get faster, faster, get with this
24 hours of action, of happening satisfaction
You better stay strong 7 days a week
Cause the city never sleeps
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump, to move, no more siesta
All right you’re fast
You’d better be faster

New York, Rio, Tokyo, London, Paris, here we go
You go, you can feel the heartbeat, the tempo, the city heat
Come, take a chance with the?.
Don’t rush the hours the tropic jam
City lights so fast, so fast
No time to take a rest
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump to move no more siesta
All right you’re fast
You’d better be faster

(verse one) {:21}
Everyting is real on this concrete and steel
Niggas peel your cap for a happy meal
I got to deal with this ball of confusion, world of illusions
We ain’t losin’ playa (never), weez winnin’
Playin’ every night when we sendin’ paper chasing, grinin’
While you still chasin’ women ’round tables no lieutenants
Use your own man grown, (hook it up)
It’s Ice Cube and the family stone
Breakin’ bread every night in L.A.
And I pray, for one more day that’s unate (check it)
It’s 90 degrees no enemies in sight
Even the Don gotta fall to his knees every night

(chorus) {:52}
Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get)
Without dealin’ with these killers and these cowards (can I can can)
I don’t wanna loose, all i wanna do is win
I fucked up today, can I try it again?

(verse two) {1:03}
I’m lovin’ every breath like a cold sip of soda
While I’m bankin’ down these back streets, thanks for lookin’ over
Damn sure nice to know ya, fuck a four leaf clover
And thanks for this range rover
We gets down with this underground gangsta shit
Politians and parents, always havin’ a fit
Everybody wanna know “who you with?” “where you from?”
Why you lookin’ at me dumb?
Here’s a bullet cuz you number one
Nobody knows, the fate of a platinum rap star (nobody knows)
We gotta wait until tommorow
(yeah yeah)
And I’m a nigga like you (yeah yeah)
You know I got the bar

(chorus) {1:33}
Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get)
Without dealin’ with these killers and these cowards (can I can can)
I don’t wanna loose, all i wanna do is win
I fucked up today, can I try it again?

Put the whoop on ’em (look to allah)
Put the whoop on ’em (pray to your god)
Put the whoop on ’em (I look to allah)
Put the whoop on ’em (pray to your god)

(verse three) {1:54}
Mister prosperity, these niggas wanna bury me
Your bitch wanna mary me
Rollin’ more than a cherokee
Don’t, I drive what I want, and what I ain’t drivin’ I don’t want
Let it be known (let it be known)
Permits hit the conk in the reagal
But weez legal niggas dollars got bald eagles nigga
You can’t undermine Mister Grime
You rappin’ ’bout the same shit i rapped about in ’89
Tryin’ to be the new fien(d) (never), with raps complex
They love you one minute and they hate you the next
Push my lex thru the california sunshine
Look back on my life and say “damn I done done fine”
(damn) (I done done fine) (uhh)
Mister Ice Cube, i’m always on the grime
(always, always)
The Don Mega Mega Don, Don Mega Mega Don

(chorus) {2:35}

(outro) {2:56}
I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know damn well that we can work it out
I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know damn well that we can work it out
I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know damn well that we can work it out
I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know damn well that we can work

I cant sleep, cuz you’re not here
This isnt just another love affair
And I dont need, nobody else
It’s killing me, day by day
Feelin stronger every minute only you
Can get me up this way, whoa

Chorus

65 weeks and it’s been too long
Tryin to keep it down until you puttin’ me on
All theses other girls, they just won’t do
24/7 I’ve been thinking of only you
Only you

Ooh, girl tonight, I’m prepared
To find a way to get you over here

Baby it’s no mystery
You’re bringing out the best in me
And though I’ve been in love before
I’ve never had the kind of love that made me feel secure
I never thought that give and take
Mentality was right for me, hmm
You made me open up and see
That it’s for real
And there’s no other place I’d rather be

1 – I think about you all the time
24-7 babe
The love I have inside for you
Is more than any words can say
Thanking God on bended knee
We’ll always be together babe

Anything can be babe

Thanking God on bended knee
We’ll always be together babe
You and me

When I’m in my nine to five
I smile went across my lips when I
Daydream about the night before
I count the minutes till I’m in your arms once more
My friends they don’t understand, no
In me they see a brand new man
I give you props and tell them that
My shorty’s bout it
She personifies the love she gives

Repeat 1

Oh how I’ve waited for this moment in my life
It’s you that I adore
Baby with you I am secure
My life is in your hands
And now I understand
What it means to be in love again, oh
Never gonna let u go, oh no

Repeat 1 till end

You need a man that satisfies
Someone that cares for you
Someone to hold all through the night
Make your dreams come true
You need a man to treat you right
Who knows just what to do
Heart to heart or else you’ll pass him by
Break his heart it two
Don’t you know
Pretty baby
You drive me crazy
Fallin’ for your love
Life is so good when I’m with you
Just bein’ friends is not enough

Follow on, just you and I
Share our love that’s new
Hold me

Never let me go
Anything, girl, I’ll sacrifice
Just to be with you
Don’t you know
Pretty baby
You drive me crazy
Drive me crazy

If it’s too good to be with you
That’s why bein’ friends is not enough
Say, could one day, maybe

One day, girl, you’ll realize
That I’m savin’ all my love

[AZ]
You can get it done like you
Fun like you
Twenty-four more reflect the sun like you
Flawless with your sleep walk, sweet and gorgeous
You know you all this, not only one for me to ball with
Used to hustle for the cause so we both need one
But I was strapped in, stressed and emotionally done
And open me young, no sleep smoke in my lung
Chosen path but the Aftermath showed me some
Now it’s properly, palm dropping trees
White sand at the v’s and shopping sprees
Here for you, holla and it’s there for you
Prayers for you, bust off in the air for you
Pretty young thing, hair back, oil machine
Canary box like thirty g’s spent in one bank
24-7, it’s all love all heaven
All thug divine four, nine, three, eleven, come on

Repeat 1 till end
