Ja Rule - One Of Us Lyrics

Ja Rule - One Of Us Video

(One of us) Yeah, Rule
(One uf us) Yeah, nigga
If God were one of us
(One of us) What about that?
What if he was?
What if he was me?
(One of us) What the fuck would I do?
 
Lord, when I die pacify, crucify me
I rock a Devil cross, one's for the soul one's for the body
If I'm built then God dies, I wanna see God cry
Real tears from a burned out life in ten years
I sware I got the Devil in me, with no fear
If I hear I can't see, if I see I can't hear
It's the eerie little thing between deathness and blindness
Weakness and kindness, rejects and primaz
I'm on this when I'm hollerin', Dear Lord, take me (One of us)
(Baby) 'Cuz I ain't really happy here, can you blame me?
This game done changed me, made me an animal
I can't even laugh no more, my kids smile for me now
I'm the one-and-only, my momma's only child
Lord, save me before I go crazy
'Cuz if you, live through the strain
Just to die from the pain, tell me
Would you believe that you could breathe again?
 
Chorus
If God were one of us (One of us)
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
If God were one of us (One of us)
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
If God were one of us (One of us)
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
If God were one of us (One of us)
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
 
Yo, yo
Now let's look at things through my right hand
What if you was that man?
Would you run wit me? Gun wit me?
Would you understand the husstlin', the struggeling
Live amongst dope heads, raisin' your kids and runnin' from the Feds
We'd be bound to bump heads, 'cuz you livin' my life
All righteous, and you said livin' righteous was right
But there's two sides to life one dark, one light
If you lighten up forever you can dig to the night
Wrap them guns over there, and bring 'em on ova' here (One of us)
'Cuz my God is bigger down your god down here
Now we ride jet sled baby, bubble in Ba-Namb
'Cuz Rule and the Lord got it goin' on
Been, known to do bad shit, I'm so heavenly, but so devilish
If, you, live through the strain just to die from the pain, tell me
Would you believe that you could breathe again?
 
Chorus
 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yo
Let's trade places, Rule be Spirit, God be flesh
And let's see just how, weak the flesh gets
Now you call on me, Every night bend your knee
Until your start to realize I ain't answerin'
Now you hang up the phone, Lord, pick up the chrome, Lord
Can I blame you, Lord, for needin'a feed what's yours?
Got a wife that you love, yet you still lust whores
And I'm supposted to judge you, on earth where it's ugly
You might as well aim at the sky, slug me (One of us)
'Cuz I ain't bein' a Fair God, when life is so hard
I know what'chu goin' through, every move you make
Every crime committed every little mistake
I still got love for ya, fair is fair
As long as you repent you'll be good up here (Baby)
'Cuz if you, live through the strain
Just to die from the pain, tell me
Would you believe that you could breathe again?
 
Chorus x4

Ellie Goulding - Figure 8 Lyrics

Ellie Goulding - Figure 8 Video

Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of the car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
 
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever every day
Then you take it all away
 
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
 
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever every day
Then you take it all away
Away...
(Then you take it all away)
 
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
 
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever every day
Then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever every day
Then you take it all away
Away...
(Then you take it all away)
Away...

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On Lyrics

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On Video

Nicholas:
(Present)
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond?
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
 
They say, Life is too short
The here and the now
And You're only given one shot
But could there be more?
Have I lived before?
Or could this be all that we've got?
 
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
 
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
 
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
 
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
 
Victoria:
(Present)
Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear
 
Nicholas:
(Present)
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
 
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Dolly Parton - Just Because I'm A Woman Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Just Because I'm A Woman Video

Just because, just because
Just because, I'm a woman
 
I can see you're disappointed
By the way you look at me
And I'm sorry if I'm not the woman
You thought I'd be
Yes I've made mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse that yours
Just because I'm a woman
 
So when you look at me
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Just think of all the hurt
You might have cause somebody else
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
 
A man will take a good girl
And he'll ruin her reputation
But when he wants to marry
Well that's a different situation
He'll just walk off and leave her
To do the best she can
While he looks for an angel
To wear his wedding band
 
Well I know that I'm no angel
If thats what you thought you'd found
I am just the victim of a man who let me down
Yes, I've made mistakes
But you listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman

DMX - The Convo Lyrics

DMX - The Convo Video

You tell me that there's love here.
But to me it's blatant.
Nothin' but all the blood here.
I'm dealin with Satan.
Plus with all the hatin'
It's hard to keep peace. (uh huh)
Thou shall not steal,
But I will to eat.
I tried doin' good, but
Good's not too good for me.
Misunderstood,
Why you chose the hood for me.
Me I'm aiight,
I just had to work hard at it.
Went to grama for answers,
She told me that god had it.
So now here I am,
Confused and full of questions.
Am I born to lose,
Or is this just a lesson.
And who it's goin' choose
When it gets turned around.
And will it be
Layin' in my own blood
And on the ground.
 
My child,
I've watched you grow up
And I've been there. (uh huh)
Even at those times
You least suspected it
I was there.
And look at what I've given you
A talent to rhyme.
I may not come when you call,
But I'm always on time.
 
Somebody's knockin'.
Should I let em in.
Lord we're just startin,
But where will it end.
Somebody's knockin'.
Should I let em in.
Lord we're just startin,
But where will it end.
But when the funds are low
The guns'll blow.
Lookin' for that one that owe,
Make em run that dough.
 
No!
Put down the guns
And write a new rhyme.
You'll get it all in due time.
You'll do fine.
Just have faith
Cuz you mine. (uh huh)
And when you shine
It's goin' be a sight to behold.
So don't fight to be old,
Or lose sight when it's cold.
See that light down the road,
It's goin' guide you there
Two sets of footprints,
I was right beside you there.
 
But what about them times I
Only saw one.
Those were the times that I was
Under the gun,
 
It was then I carried you my son.
Led you to safety.
It just wasn't your time to face me. (uh huh)
 
Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me.
But all you did was embrace me.
Prepared me for the worst.
Offered me eternal light,
And scared me with the hearse.
And the curse
Turned to grace.
When the hurt
Turned to faith.
No more runnin', (uh huh)
And slidin' in the dirt
Cuz I'm safe.
 
Somebody's knockin'.
Should I let em in.
Lord we're just startin,
But where will it end.
Somebody's knockin'.
Should I let em in.
 
So if I'm yo' man
I'm in yo' hand.
Wus yo' plan.
Never had a friend
Cuz you couldn't trust your man.
Learned to stand before I crawled.
Things were twisted!
And if you showed me anything at all
Then I missed it.
Looked the wrong way. (uh huh)
I've done some wrong things. (true)
Kept a bad attitude,
But that's what wrong brings.
And now you mean to tell me that
After all this time,
It was you that kept the dog from goin' out of his mind.
It was you that breathed life
Into my lungs when I was born.
And it was you that let me know
What was right,
From what was wrong.
And it was you that let me do
What I knew what could be done.
And it was you that gave me a good wife
And a beautiful son.
And It's been you speakin' to me
Inside my mind.
And it's been you who has forgiven
Time after time.
It was you who opened my eyes
So I could see.
And it was you who shined yo'
Light on me.

DMX - Stop Being Greedy Lyrics

DMX - Stop Being Greedy Video

Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate
 
I could flip that flow, I could stick that hoe
I could get that dough, you know I'm with that yo
Ain't a thing about the shit I came through I haven't seen
But when it gets dark, it's like a nigga's havin' dreams
 
All nightmares, the light dares to desert me
Got me like, everybody wants to hurt me
Paranoid, so I strike out at whatever
The closest thing to me's gon' get it, but never
 
Will I kill I, think death is wrong
So I'ma keep holdin' on, till what's left is gone
You could put that on, my nigga Boone
These other rap cats, will give a nigga room
 
But if it calls for me to force my, way in the door
Head-huntin' mother fuckers so, stay on the floor
Four-four, that's what I get sick with (Grr)
Four more, now all this is liquid (Grr)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Uh-huh uh-huh)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate
 
I thank the Lord everyday that I'm blessed with a gift
I'm the best, so unless you wanna rest with the stiff
Don't touch that, uh-uhh, leave it alone
When you walk pass the dog house, leave it a bone
 
Dogs bite, dogs fight, dogs knife
Scratch shank and hump, all night
So when you hear the arf arf, start runnin'
'Cause when you hear the arf arf, I'm comin'
 
But I don't like drama, so I say to myself
Keep focus with this rap shit, and pray for the wealth
I want the money and give me the honeys, with big asses
The most expensive champagne you got, in big glasses
 
I'm broke so I'ma bash his, head wide open
Beggin' me to stop but at least, he died hopin'
Didn't get his wish, now he's a dish for the pack
Two glowin' red eyes, everything else is black
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Uh-huh uh-huh)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Arf arf)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Arf arf)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Arf arf)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Arf arf)
 
When the sun is up the gun is up, on the shelf
And all the runners up are thankin' me, for they health
Hopin' that they not around, when it gets dark outside
Sun's goin' down, you hear the bark outside
 
Locks off the cage, gauge, with the buck shots
Faggot, you've been lucky all day, that's when your luck stops
One drops, and another and another
Gun pops, go into you and your mother
 
When does it all end, I found a friend in a dog
'Cause fuckin' with these cats, will send a friend to the morgue
Many questions, no answers just stress
Try to hold my head, and remember that I'm blessed
 
If you curse and it gets worse, as time goes by
Can't see straight 'Cause, I'm so high
Why ask why, when you know
Nigga when it's your time to go, roll
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Uh-huh uh-huh)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Arf arf)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Arf arf)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Arf arf)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Arf arf)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Just keep it real partner, give to the needy (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait (Uh-huh uh-huh)
Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Uh-huh uh-huh)
 
Y'all been eatin' long enough now stop bein' greedy (Arf arf)

Fuck around and I'm gon' bite you, and snatch the plate (Arf arf)

I gotta know right now
It's got to be this time
I wanna show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes

Case - Caught You Lyrics

Case - Caught You Video

Talking
We did so many things wrong
Now I think it's too late for us
But wait
Listen for a minute, baby
 
Spent last night wonderin' where you been
Jumped in my ride just searchin' for something
As I stopped at the light
Blew out the noise, I could hear your voice
So I looked in my rearview and I saw you
Oh and it hurt so bad
 
Chorus
What can I do? Girl, I saw you
What can you say? Girl, I caught you
Just can't explain the way he kissed you
It's gonna hurt, I'm gonna miss you
 
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's the very next night you're all alone, I think so
Looked in your eyes, nothing there but despair
I asked where you were last night and don't lie
Said you spent the evening with your girlfriends
Why you want to pretend?
 
Baby I can't lie
I'm not the average guy, no
And I'm not gonna sit around
I'm won't even ask you why
The choice you made was the choice you made
So thanks for all the love
Baby, now it's time to say good bye
Good bye
Bye, bye, bye, baby

Britney Spears - Bombastic Love Lyrics

Britney Spears - Bombastic Love Video

I am here to testify
That you're the only one I belong to
I don't know where to start
It turned into an art
Not to show the world that it was you
You made me realize
Not to compromise
The fact that you and I should be
I know we're gonna get (know we're gonna get) (get)
 
Chorus:
Bombastic love
So fantastic
Where I'm completely yours and you are mine
And it's gonna be exactly like in a movie
When we fall in love for the first time
 
Don't know why I feel so insecure
I never understood what it's good for
I gotta make sure that madness
Won't stop me again
I can't sit and wait anymore
 
You made me realize
Not to compromise
The fact that you and I should meet
I know we're gonna get (know we're gonna get) (get)
 
Chorus:
Bombastic love
So fantastic
Where I'm completely yours and you are mine
And it's gonna be exactly like in a movie
When we fall in love for the first time
 
It's gonna be bombastic love
Everything is gonna be alright
When I'm yours and you are mine
It's gonna be fantastic love
When I wake up everything is still the same
And you don't even know my name
 
...I know it's gonna be
 
Chorus:
Bombastic love
So fantastic
Where I'm completely yours and you are mine
And it's gonna be exactly like in a movie
When we fall in love for the first time
 
I know we're gonna get (know we're gonna get) (get)
 
Chorus:
Bombastic love
So fantastic
Where I'm completely yours and you are mine
And it's gonna be exactly like in a movie
When we fall in love for the first time
