Master P - If I Could Change Lyrics

Master P - If I Could Change Video

Fast livin' got me trapped in this street game
Before i die i hope i have a chance to make a change
4x
 
I'm at the time in my life when a nigga ready to change
I'll be dead or in jail if I don't shake this thang
Feel like I'm trapped in a prison, slowly waiting to die
It's getting harder for my people, yet we don't know why
They cuttin sistas off welfare, these kids can't eat
And it's the children like P turned out by the street
I couldn't see it while I was outside slangin my rocks
Servin death to my people, commitin the ultimate evil
Robbin and killin my own kind, Lord forgive me
Blinded by this life of crime, God somebody hear me
Since the death of my momma, my life is filled with drama
Lost both of my kids, punished for what dirt that I did
I can't bring em back, so I get high to forget
All the mistakes that I made, that time won't let me erase
I keep my head up high, but I'm stuck in this game
Steady checkin' myself, God help me to change
 
Chorus 4x
 
If I could change, I'd bring my momma back from the grave
I ain't got too much trouble cause we livin' in the last days
Crime pays, doing broads can get you AIDS, gotta wear a strap these days
All the time I stay high, trying to fight my stress
Jealous fool of the world trying to put me to rest
Last night I had a talk with my momma
Then the cry, asking god if she'd serve a purpose before she dies
You can see it in my eyes, a brotha wanta slow down
I ain't mad at ya daddy cause you didn't come around
I'm knowing that the times is hard, but you can make it
You see the opportunity, you take it
But what about my little baby, I got a mouth to feed
But I still wanta hang on the streets and smoke weed with the O.G.'s
My homies rest in peace in the game
I don't think you'll ever know the pain
I want to change
 
Chorus 4x
 
Lord knows, picture me ballin
Trapped in this ghetto with my young G's callin
Hennessey and weed when they bury P
A quarter key, 6 G's, when they carry me
Fall on my knees to no nigga
Trapped in this hood, raised by chrome trigga
Never had a pops, a nigga learned to slang cream
Should have been a chemist, the way I work a triple beam
Life, is like a page, I want to turn
I wanta make a change, but Lord you let my brotha burn
I done seen a nigga lose his life over zurcubian stones
Every night, my auntie bring a nigga home
Momma worrying cause the rent late
3 strikes, my cousin's doing time upstate
I sent him Camel with no filters
I'm in the ghetto slangin stones with staight killas, ugghh
I know kids that pack gats cause they bout it, bout it
I'm from the murder capital of the world and we rowdy, rowdy
Is there a heaven for a gangsta, Lord put me to sleep
Cause your best friend turn into your enemy
Crooked cops is dirty in this shaded game
Go on take me out the ghetto
I want to make a change
 
Chorus -- fade out

Thats a 101 doggs and i dont mean the ones with the spots on em
Were respected highly
'Cause you dont need to practice gymnastics to catch a body (oh)
Me and moneys like Whitney, next to Bobby (uh huh)
If i bring all my niggas ill need an extra lobby (uh huh)
As soon as you aint around jake (jake)
You getcha ass whipped for chips
Now thats the real definition of poundcake
I got the crownsnake
And you can tell when im shoppin 'Cause when the mall stampedin' you'll feel the ground shake
I got a car i only drive on Thursdays (haha)

We aint got shit down here but dope and guns for sell
You get yo head cracked and niggas dont run and tell

We on that fuck the police shit

You betta guard yo grill homey
And stand yo ground
These bullets burn
They hit whoevers standin around
I never learn even after i took a couple shots
I just got me some band-aids and bought a couple glocks
Had to go on a rampage and hit a couple blocks
Once they hear that 12-gauge thats when the trouble stops (boom)
If its beef then im ready to ride
Just come to casheville you can find me on the southside (mothafucka)
 
(Chorus)
 
(Verse 3: Lloyd Banks)
 
Now i aint from Michigan but im in the Fab 5

Yeahh aint talkin shit
But we can all tell he ass
Jags are black his eyes like the R-Kelly mask (ah)
You gotta blast me yo (yo)
'Cause the louisville will have yo head lookin like the top of a pistachio
The young gunner with a raspy flow
Got every boyfriend thinkin they girlfriends a nasty hoe
My heart laughin a small
Maybe its 'Cause my grandpop dropped right after the ball
Banks hops out bulletproof this, bulletproof that, bulletproofs snorkle when you hot they hawk you
I got the hood on my shoulda
Chain big as a boulder

Mothafucka
 
(Chorus)

Muthafucka

Lionel Richie - Ordinary Girl Lyrics

Lionel Richie - Ordinary Girl Video

How will I know if someone loves me
How will I know if there is no one else
Dying to have someone who loves me
But I want them to love me for myself
Looked for love in all the wrong places
I searched the moon and stars
Found myself lost in a world full of faces
The place I didn't look was my heart
 
I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
 
Chorus: Ordinary (2x)
 
All I want is someone I can talk to
Someone I can lean on now and then
And I don't wanna lie, pretend I am someone else
I am just looking for a friend
My heart was going through so many changes,
I didn't know which way to turn
Just when I thought I had all of the answers
I found I still had so much to learn
 
I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
 
Chorus: Ordinary
 
Someone to love me
 
Chorus: Ordinary
 
I just wanna feel lost in love forever
Wanna see that look in your eyes
I hope that you understand what I am saying, baby
Cause girl I need you right by my side
 
I've been all around the world trying to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself
The one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
 
Chorus: Ordinary
 
Someone to love me
 
Chorus: Ordinary
 
Talking: You know I've been all around the world
Trying to find someone new
He, you know what ended up my search:
That someone was you
And I found in my heart there can be no one but you
 
All I need is an ordinary girl
Your love, my love
You know heaven send you from above
Oh girl, it is only you
You are the best thing in my life girl
You are the best thing in my life ooooooooh
Ooh girl...

Kelly Clarkson - Dark Side Lyrics

Kelly Clarkson - Dark Side Video

There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
 
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
 
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
 
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know, that we're worth it
Will you love me even with my dark side?
 
Like a diamond from black dust
It's hard to know what can become if you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
 
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me even with my dark side?
 
Don't run away, don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away, don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
 
Will you love me? ohh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me even with my dark side?
 
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, promise you'll stay

Fred Hammond - You Are My Life Lyrics

Fred Hammond - You Are My Life Video

VERSE 1
The evening now in sight
I earnestly contend
To just stay grounded
With the absence of the light
The enemy moves in
And I am surrounded
With a weary heart
The battle goes on
Lord I will rest in the Words
That You spoke to me
 
CHORUS
You are my Life
You are my strength
My faithful defense and My cover
My shield and shelter
Saviour and shepherd
You're my life and my strength
Jesus You are
 
VERSE 2
The warfare rages on
The toll it takes is that
My heart is tender
My spirit yet is strong
But as usual my flesh
Wants to surrender
Though it's hard to wait
On your word I'll depend and believe with my heart
Until the end
(REPEAT CHORUS)
 
BRIDGE
In my distress I called on You
And from Your throne
You heard me and saved me
 
VAMP
You are X6
Oh, You are
Jesus You are my shield and shelter
Savior and shepherd
You're my life
Jesus You are
(REPEAT VAMP)
 
You are my life
You are my strength
You are my life
You are my strength (OUT)

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
