Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. Lyrics

Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. Video

(Intro: Raekwon the Chef, Method Man)
 
What that nigga want God?
Word up, look out for the cops (Wu-Tang five finger shit)
(Cash Rules) Word up, two for fives over here baby
Word up, two for fives them niggaz got garbage down the way, word up
KnowhatI'msayin?
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C. R. E. A. M. get...)
Yeah, check this ol fly shit out
Word up
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Take you on a natural joint
(C. R. E. A. M. get the money) Here we here we go
(Dolla dolla bill y'all) Check this shit, yo!
 
(Verse One: Raekwon the Chef)
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
At second hands, moms bounced on old men
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one
And that one, pullin out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin woolies at sixteen
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is ruff and tuff like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out
Catchin keys from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the TEC-9
Ch-chick-POW! Move from the gate now
 
(Chorus: Method Man)
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C. R. E. A. M Get the money, dollar, dollar bill y'all
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C. R. E. A. M Get the money, dollar, dollar bill y'all
 
(Verse Two: Inspector Deck)
It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world, cause shit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C. R. E. A. M
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not...
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin' going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke cess
I guess, that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask, what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops and crack rocks
And stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin cess, drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic
 
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C. R. E. A. M Get the money, dollar, dollar bill y'all

Word up, we gotta get over, straight up and down

Tupac - I Ain't Mad At Cha Lyrics

Tupac - I Ain't Mad At Cha Video

Change, shit
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all niggaz to get up out the hood
Shit, I'm wit cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nuttin but love for ya, do your thing boy
 
Yeah, all the homies that I ain't talk to in a while
I'ma send this one out for y'all, nahmean?
Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard y'all tearin up shit out there, kickin up dust
(Danny Boy) I ain't...
Givin a motherfuck, heheheheheh
Yeah, niggaz
(Danny Boy) ...mad at cha
Cause I ain't mad at cha
 
Verse One: 2Pac
 
Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roll
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin off sherm
Collect calls to the tip, sayin how ya changed
Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game
Heard you might be comin home, just got bail
Wanna go to the mosque, don't wanna chase tail
It seems I lost my little homie he's a changed man
Hit the pen and now no sinnin is the game plan
When I talk about money all you see is the struggle
When I tell you I'm livin large you tell me it's trouble
Congratulation on the weddin, I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that's no bullshitin
I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we'd BOMB
On the first motherfucker with the wrong shit on
Now the whole shit's changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same motherfucker that'd
Go toe to toe when it's time to roll, you got a brother's back
And I can't even trip, cause I'm just laughin at cha
You tryin hard to maintain, then go head
Cause I ain't mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)
 
Chorus: Danny Boy
 
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha
 
Verse Two: 2Pac
 
We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn't
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I'm gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared
Besides bumpin n grindin wasn't nothin on our mind
In time we learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow
And even though we seperated, you said that you'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived
Don't shed a tear, cause Mama I ain't happy here
I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
They got me goin' mad, I'm knockin busters on they backs
In my cell, thinkin, Hell, I know one day I'll be back
As soon as I touch down
I told my girl I'll be there, so prepare, to get fucked down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin at cha
Cause youse a down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha
 
Chorus: Danny Boy
 
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: A true down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha)
 
Verse Three: 2Pac
 
Well guess who's movin up, this nigga's ballin now
Bitches be callin to get it, hookers keep fallin down
He went from nuttin to lots, ten carots to rock
Went from a nobody nigga to the big, man on the block
He's Mister local celebrity, addicted to move a key
Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury
See, first you was our nigga but you made it, so the choice is made
Now we gotta slay you why you faded, in the younger days
So full of pain while the weapons blaze
Gettin so high off that bomb hopin we make it, to the better days
Cause crime pays, and in time, you'll find a rhyme'll blaze
You'll feel the fire from the niggaz in my younger days
So many changed on me, so many tried to plot
That I keep a glock beside my head, when will it stop?
Til God return me to my essence
Cause even as a adolescents, I refuse to be a convalescent
So many questions, and they ask me if I'm still down
I moved up out of the ghetto, so I ain't real now?
They got so much to say, but I'm just laughin at cha
You niggaz just don't know, but I ain't mad at cha
 
Chorus: Danny Boy
Iiiiiiiii,
I ain't, mad at cha (2Pac: and I ain't mad at cha)
Iiiiiiiii ain't mad (2Pac: hell nah I ain't mad at cha) at cha
I ain't, mad at cha (2Pac: and I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad at cha, noooo
I ain't mad at chaaaaahhhhhhhhmm

Trixter - Surrender Lyrics

Trixter - Surrender Video

Words of silence echo through this lonely room
Just a photograph and dreams that won't come true
I'll never know why I left you standin' in the rain
Cryin' tears of emptyness it's drivin' me insane
 
All I wanted was to love you
Never wanted to see you cry
All I need is just to hold you
I just can't say Goodbye
 
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
Cause if love means war, baby I surrender
 
You use words as weapons I use love as a shield
So tell me why are we on this battlefield
In a blaze of glory can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger there's got to be a way
 
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
Cause if love means war, baby I surrender
We're just soldiers from the heart and I ain't no pretender
So lay down your arms and baby let's surrender
 
And thought my aim is true
I sometimes miss the mark
Ooh, in matters of the heart
But I'd give my life tonight
To hold you in my arms
 
In a blaze of glory can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger there's got to be a way
 
I just wanna hold you (surrender)
I just wanna love you (surrender)
I never meant to make you cry
 
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
Cause if love means war, baby I surrender
We're just soldiers of from the heart and I ain't no pretender
So lay down you arms and baby let's surrender

Taylor Swift - Back To December Lyrics

Taylor Swift - Back To December Video

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
 
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
 
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came
The dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
And all I gave you was Goodbye
 
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
 
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
 
But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December...
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time

Suede - She's In Fashion Lyrics

Suede - She's In Fashion Video

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
She's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
She's in fashion
 
She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion
 
Oh and if she tells you 2 is 1
Then 2 is 1 my love,
Oh and if she tells you, you should know,
Then you should know my love,
 
She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette
And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion

Sam Cooke - Cool Train Lyrics

Sam Cooke - Cool Train Video

Train with the lonely whistle
Goin' down the track
Train with the lonely whistle
Goin' down the track
Come on and bring your precious cargo
Bring my baby back
 
Train, you're huffin' and a blowin'
Because you work too fast
Listen to me train, you're huffin' a blowin'
Because you work too fast
Don't you know that you've got to take it easy
If you wanna last?
 
Listen to me train, take it nice and easy
When you go 'round them curves
Do that for me
Take it nice and easy
When you go 'round the curves
Now, don't shake up my baby
And don't upset her nerves
 
Train, gotta blow your whistle
Blow it loud and strong
Train, gotta blow your whistle
Blow it loud and strong
'Cuz I want the world to know that
Baby's comin' home

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Video

Well I chased her down the alley
And over the hill to steal her will
She was as hot as Georgia asphalt
When the A crowd came to adore her brain
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
You should've seen her back in the city
Poetry and jewels, broke all the rules
She was as high as a Georgia pine tree
Makeup and pills, overdue bills
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
Some sunny day when the hands of time
Have had their way
You'll understand why it was so hard to run away
 
She's a loser she's a forgiver
But she still finds good where no one could
You ought to want her more than money
Cadillacs and rust diamonds and dust
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me

Verse 1: Rick Ro$$
Sight seein' we might be in the codra port or that new white BM

Cookin' like home-etch for financial aid.
I highly doubt she has problems with financial aid.
Remember mean time my finance is straight
I even open up the doors to the panantial states, Boss
She used to fight with her moms
'Til I sat 'em both down
Now she's tight with her moms (what?)
Yeah I put the ice on her arm
Now she know she gettin' sliced
Spending nights in Milan (yeah)
We still blow... together
Cheated on her but we still gon' be together
With the house on the water hit the beach whenever
She's from the north & still can't believe there whether Boss.
 
Chorus: Avery Storm
I got a bunch of dollars

Verse 2: Nelly
Here I Am & here I go
Why you lookin' for that other when you got the best?
The previous was a test for you
Now you in the big leagues.

He was talkin' alot at first
But you can see that dead it
You can see I ain't sweat it
Hell I'll even call him myself

Naw Please don't confuse me miss
I'm tryin' to see if I could put you on my Christmas list
I hope you ain't offended by this
But I think your ass fine as shit
& That's straight up real talk, all bullshit
Aside she replied
I Like To Do The Wild Thing
Action took place at my place
Now my place is her place.
 
Chorus: Avery Storm
I got a bunch of dollars
I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady
She can be my lover
Call me on the late night

Randy Travis - Reasons I Cheat Lyrics

Randy Travis - Reasons I Cheat Video

A working day too long, when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive
I once had a notion I'd get that promotion
But now I barely survive
 
A wife too demanding, with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet
Adinly lit tavern, a willing youg woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat
 
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
Ny life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
 
The hair that i'm losing and a woman who's choosing
To lay sound asleep by my side
The bills they are mounting, that's when I start counting
On smoeone to help soothe my pride
A lady that knows me, affection she shows me
And a smile so easy and sweet
The dreams that I've buried, the load that I carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat
 
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
Ny life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
