Frank Sinatra - I'm Not Afraid Lyrics

Frank Sinatra - I'm Not Afraid Video

One afternoon I came to hear
You sing a soft song into my ear
Who would have thought quite by chance
We might engage in a loving dance?
 
Coming together, coming apart
Lost in diversions, dancing stars
Caught in the quiet, off on our own
Coming together, standing alone
 
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
 
What about you, what about me?
Two years from now where will we be?
Each of us gone our separate ways
Lost in a headlong passage of days
 
Maybe we might give love a try
Extending the moment before goodbye
And for a gentle moment in time
We'll take what pleasure people can find
 
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
 
What is for real, what is false?
All of us seem to be caught in a waltz
Turning around, turning again
When will the dancing ever end?
 
As for us, you and me
Our eyes are open, we can see
Both of us know where we've been
Why must we both go dancing again?
 
(brief instrumental)
 
Come join the dancing, come join the waltz
Don't look too closely at my faults
Why can't I die here in your arms?
Safe from the night and safe from the dawn
 
Back to the nothing that had no name
Back to the nowhere from where I came
Don't worry of me, I know what I am
Where I'm goin' and where I've been
 
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
No, I'm not afraid!

Eminem - 313 Lyrics

Eminem - 313 Video

Eye-Kyu: Now what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
None of these skills you bout to see come free
So you wanna be a sweet MC, you gotta become me
If you ever wanna be one see
 
Eminem: Man what you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
None of these skills you bout to see come free
So you wanna be a sweet MC, you better become me
If you ever wanna be one see
 
Verse 1: Eye-Kyu
Yo some people say I'm whack, now if that's right
I'm the freshest whack MC that you ever heard, in your lifetime
My slick accapella sounds clever with the beats
Boy I'm the deepest thing since potholes to ever hit the streets
Forgot a gold digger's succubus, my souls thick with ruggedness
With the mic I'm like a dyke, can't no nigga fuck with this
I got more Different Strokes than Philip Drummound
On open mic I bone your women just to keep my lyrics coming (bitch)
We elevated to new heights premeditated
Let it be that I stated they hate it now that they see that I made it
The escalated can be put to the test of greatness
Snatch the heart from MC's and I ate it
So I take it that's the reason I'm hated
To represent my temperment
If rap was a dick all you so called hard MC's would not be impitant
But pimping it, and acting like you could rock a show (so)
Harder than LL's Rock the Bells, but you is a ho (now)
Everything that you collaborate I lacerate
My rhymes they keep coming like nympho maniacs that masturbate
At a faster rate, yeah I got something for your ass to hate
I blasterate, and have you all running master gates
And as for face clutching and touching the flows
I got them open like marijuana smoke up in your nose
Bucking these hoes, I got that shit down to a science
Leaving them hot and bothered, turned on like an appliance
Defiance, no we won't have that
You want your shit to blow up?
Well I'ma stuff some dynamite in your ass crack
And blast that shit to kingdom come
Then bring them some of this real hip-hop
I drop beats and you ain't singing or gonna do a thing about
And you all knew from Meeko
That you couldn't hold your own with the strength of Lou Forigno
So stop that bullshit and flow
Yo, you need to come with the real skills, and act like you know
 
Chorus: Eminem
So what you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
None of these skills you bout to see come free
So you wanna be a sweet MC, you better become me
If you ever wanna be one see
 
Eye-Kyu: Now what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
None of these skills you bout to see come free
So you wanna be the sweet MC, you gotta become me
If you ever wanna be one see
 
Verse 2: Eminem
So what, you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
You don't know shit so when you see one flee
You can be Run-D, you'll never beat the MC
I'll stop the alphabet at S and got it down to a T
I'm sure your bound to agree, a sweet MC crashes the spot
I'll make the roof hot like I was Rock Master Scott
Your ass forgot, so just in case you don't remember me
I'll run your brain around the block to jog your fucking memory
It's either them or me man, kill or be killed
You will and be sealed your casket closed you still gonna be billed
My facilities filled with fans, packed to capacity
I'll send a rapper back with the crack of his ass shitty
If he's acting soft and he cowers
He better come cleaner then Jay Rue jacking off when he showers
You flowers got no clout with a thing
You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn't go out with a bang
I showered the slang, simple as A,B,C's
Skip over the D's and rock the microphone with E's
Dethrone MC's and I'ma max alone
Relax your dome like a solo from a saxophone
So facts are known, writers get treated with shocks
I rock a beat harder then you could beat it with rocks
I'm greeted with flocks, of fellow follower's singers
You couldn't make the fans throw up their hands if they swallowed their
Fingers
But you can bring yours let's see what you got
But don't front and never try to be what you're not
Cause you can be quick, jump the candlestick, burn your back
And fuck Jill on a hill, but you still ain't Jack
 
Chorus: Eye-Kyu
So what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
None of these skills you just seen come free
So you wanna be a sweet MC, you'll never become me
So you ain't ever gonna be one see
Eminem: So what you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
None of these skills that you just seen come free
So you wanna be a sweet MC, you'll never become me
So you ain't ever gonna be one see

Darius Rucker - Shine Lyrics

Darius Rucker - Shine Video

November of '43
On a boat comin' 'cross the sea
He left a boy, came back a man
She started running' when she saw his face
It'd been 655 days
Since she held his hand
He got down on one knee
And pulled out that ring
That he bought in Aberdeen
And when it hit that New York sky
 
It shined just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her eyes sparked like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
It's gonna shine
 
For the next 55 years
Through the laughter and the tears
My grandma always fore that band
Through atom bombs and a baby boom
Dr. King and a man on the moon
No it never left her hand
On the day she passed away
Mama put it on a chain
Now and then on special days
Mom would wear it around her neck
 
It shined just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her eyes sparked like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
It's gonna shine
 
Mama said one of these days
I'd know why she gave me that ring
Sittin' here I know she was right
Oh, it's knot the biggest stone you've ever seen
But girl I can promise you one thing
The rest of your life
 
It's gonna shine just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Your eyes sparkled like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade
It's gonna shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Like a beacon calling me home
It's gonna shine
Oh yeah, shine, shine, shine

Christina Aguilera - I Turn To You Lyrics

Christina Aguilera - I Turn To You Video

When I'm lost, in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light, to light my way.
When I'm scared, losing ground
When my world is going crazy, you can turn it all around. (yes)
 
And when I'm down you're there pushing me to the top.
You're always there giving me all you've got.
 
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
 
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on,
For everything you do,
For everything that's true,
I turn to you. (oooo yeah)
 
Oh, when I lose the will to win,
I just reach to you and I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything,
'Cause your love is so amazing,
'Cause your love inspires me.
 
And when I need a friend, you're always on my side,
Giving me faith taking me through the night
 
For a shield (for a shield) from the storm, (from the storm)
For a friend, for a love (for a love to keep me safe and warm)
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you. (I turn to you)
 
For the strength (for the strength) to be strong,
For the will to carry on,
For everything you do,
I turn to you. (ooo yeah oohhh)
 
For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain,
For truth that will never change,
For someone to lean on,
For a heart I can rely on through anything,
For that one who I can run to, (oooooo I turn to you oooooo yeah)
 
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love (to keep me safe and warm yeah yeah, I turn to you)
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you. (I turn to you)
 
For the strength (for the strength) to be strong,
For the will to carry on,
For everything you do, (everything you do)
For everything that's true,
 
For everything you do,
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.

Bush - Swallowed Lyrics

Bush - Swallowed Video

Warm sun, feed me up
And I'm leery, loaded up
Loathing, for a change
And I slip some, boil away
 
Swallowed, followed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, sorrowed
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet
 
Just wanted to be myself
Hey you said you would, love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some
In the middle of a world on a fishhook
 
You're the wave
You're the wave
You're the wave
 
Swallowed, borrowed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, hollowed
Sharp about everyone but yourself
 
Swallowed, oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and you're not
I'm with everyone and yet
 
Piss on, self-esteem
Forward, busted knee
Sick head, blackened lungs
And I'm simple, selfish son
 
Swallowed, followed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
 
Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here
 
Miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot, a lot

Brian McKnight - Crazy Love Lyrics

Brian McKnight - Crazy Love Video

I can hear her heartbeat for a thousand miles
Hear the heavens open everytime she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet, I'm running to her like a river strong
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
 
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes my troubles away, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, in the night like a theif
 
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
 
Yes I need, yes I need her in the daytime
And oh I need, yes I need her in the night
I want to throw my arms all around her
To kiss and hug and kiss and hug her tight
And oh...
 
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me sweet sweet lovin', brighten up my day
It makes me righteous and it makes me whole
Makes me mellow, down into my soul
 
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, crazy love
One more time, she gives love, just a little love
When I wake up in the morning
She gives me love, love, love,
Crazy Love

Boyz II Men - Little Things Lyrics

Boyz II Men - Little Things Video

Little Things Little things mean a lot
Little things mean a lot
When I wanted someone to give me the world
You accepted me and smiled
And let me know that you were my girl
When I wanted fancy things
Gold watches, diamond rings
You gave me your hand
'Cause only you could understand
 
Little things mean a lot
Appreciate what you got
If you give all what you have
It's forever we'll last
Don't sit around and wait for all
The great things in your life (sweetie)
Little things mean
Little things mean
Little things mean a lot
 
Giving me the best doesn't mean
Giving me happiness
I'll be satisfied with anything that comes close
I don't wanna settle for less but if I do
I must confess I won't take it
If it's not from your heart
Sometimes we get wrapped up
In all the fancy things but
Don't expect life to be perfect
It don't come with static cling
 
Little things mean a lot
Appreciate what you got
If you give all what you have
It's forever we'll last
Don't sit around and wait for all
The great things in your life (sweetie)
Little things mean
Little things mean
Little things mean a lot

You you got a nasty reputation
We're in a sticky situation it's down to me and you
So tell me is it true ... they say there ain't nobody better
Well now that we're together

Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Lyrics

Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Video

You see right through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
 
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
 
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
 
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
 
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day
 
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
You bastards
 
Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
 
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burnt out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah
 
Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
 
Sabbath, bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah

2Pac - Starin' Through My Rear View Lyrics

2Pac - Starin' Through My Rear View Video

Starin through my rearview
Just lookin back at the world
From another level
Starin..
 
Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops
Niggaz is callin cops, people shot, nobody stop
I wonder when the world stopped caring last night
Two kids shot while the whole block staring
I will never understand this society, first they try
To murder me, then they lie to me, product of a dying breed
All my homies trying weed, now the little baby's
Crazed raised off Hennesey, tell me will my enemies
Flee when they see me, believe me
Even Thugs gotta learn to take it easy, listen
Through the intermissions search your heart for a plan
And we turnin Bad Boys to grown men, it's on again
 
I give a holla to my niggaz in the darkest corners
Roll a perfect blunt, and let me spark it for ya
One love from a thug nigga rollin with a posse
Full of paranoid drug dealers, to the end my friend
 
I'm seein nuttin but my dreams comin true
While I'm starin at the world through my rearview,
See I'm seein nuttin but my dreams comin true
While I'm starin at the world through my rearview see
They got me starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
Gettin high, watchin time fly, and all my motherfuckers
They got me starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die (we)
Gettin high, watchin time fly, and all my motherfuckers
 
(E.D.I.)
Now you see em, now you don't, some niggaz
Be here for the moment, and then they gone, what happened to em?
Well let's see, it seems to be a mystery
But all I know I never let the money get to me
Stay down like the, truest
Thug life until I check out of this bitch, I thought you'd know this
Who is, gonna catch me when I fall or even care to
While you thinkin I see you lost up in my rearview
Half you, is down with them Outlawz
Outcast, left far, I feel like southpaws
But still we keep mashin til our dreams come through
Starin at the world through my rearview
 
(Tupac)
Now I was raised as a young black male
In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales
Caught a nigga so they send me to these overpacked jails
In the cell, countin days in this livin black Hell, do you feel me?
Keys to ignition, use at your discretion
Roll with a twelve gauge pump for protection
Niggaz hate me in the section from years of chin checkin
Turn to Smith and Wesson war weapons
Heavenly Father I'm a soldier, I'm gettin hotter
Cause the world's gettin colder, baby let me hold ya
Talk to my guns like they fly bitches
All you bustas best to run look at my bitches
 
Now I know the answers to the question, do dreams come true
Still starin at the world through my rearview
I say
Now I know the answers to the question, do dreams come true
Still starin at the world through my rearview
They got me starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
Gettin high, watchin time fly and all my motherfuckers
Starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
Gettin high, watchin time fly nigga can die
 
(Kadaffi)
Back in the days we hustled for sneakers and beepers
Nine-six for glocks cause fiends hittin up blocks with street sweepers
Bless myself when knowin rules to these streets, somethin I learned
In school, on some Million Man March shit for the peace
True that, only one life to lead, a fast life of greed
Criminally addicted, infested since the seed
We all die, breed bleed like humans, towns run
By young guns, Outlawz and truants, shit's deep
Turn eighteen, burn my will when I go
Burn my body with my shotty, or choosin' my dough
So while you reminiscin all nights out with the crew
Smoke a blunt for me too while starin through your rearview
 
(Tupac)
Hahahaha, you ain't knowin what we mean by starin through the rearview
So since you ain't knowin what we mean let me break down understandin
The world, the world is behind us
Once a motherfucker get an understanding on the game
And what the levels and the rules of the game is
Then the world ain't no trick no more
The world is a game to be played
So now we lookin at the world, from like, behind us
Niggaz know what we gotta do, just gotta put our mind to it and do it
It's all about the papers, money rule the world
Bitches make the world go round
Real niggaz do they wanna do, bitch niggaz do what they can't
 
Starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
Gettin high, watchin time fly, ya know
Starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
Gettin high, watchin time flyand we'll be
Starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
Heart beatin fast... time to die
High, watchin time fly, ya know
Starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you heart beatin fast.. time to die
High, watchin time fly
