Redman - Pick It Up Lyrics

Redman - Pick It Up Video

Pick it up, pick it up (4X)
If you find a bag of weed on the floor motherfucker
What the fuck you gon do
Pick it up, pick it up (3X)
 
Verse One:
 
While I crack a cold Beck's and keep the hoes in check
The double-S vest nigga wreck the discotheque
Sit back relax and while my Squad kick tacks
Then tap your man back and be like Did you see that??
Ahh yes, comin from the North South East West
Hold your nose and take a deep breath, recess
We bless, mics, three times a day
Three times a night, it all equals subliminal sequels
Strictly laughing at MC's
Lyrics for years that run more than ten deep
Niggaz be like Ahh he changed his style up
Shut the fuck up, ya still a dick-ridah
It's nine-six so get with it
Peep that back-in-the-day shit when that other Squad was Hit-tin
Listen, must we forget, I originated
All that wild shit, that rrraahh rrraaoowww shit
That jump up and ready to fuck shit up now shit
Brick City!! Is where I get down kid
Peace to all my buddah smokers on Prince
Fuck what ya heard, Brick City runs shit
 
PPP got the glocks and tecs
And Def Squad always got some fly shit on deck
Say what? Got some fly shit on deck
Say WHAT? Got some fly shit on deck
PPP got the glocks and tecs
And Def Squad always got some fly shit on deck
 
Verse Two:
 
First of all, MC's be on my balls, straight up
Pubic hairs and everything, lick the whole plate up
Bay Area, roll up your Las Vegas
To all MC's, I love it that you hate us
Drop skills that might send wind chill factors
Back through Patterson, J.C. and Hacken-sack
Step uncorrect and get blackened
The assassin, find da MC's by the jazz men
I don't tote guns I tote funds
While you still puzzled how my antidote runs
Your whole vocabulary's played out, admit it
Still wack if it came out my mouth and I spit it
You remind me of school on a Sunday
No class, beatin all King's down
Doin over seventy, in a Hyundai, blast
Give em a good reason to open Alcatraz
Back, nobody got the Red shook
Been a weirdo everysince the doctor said PUSH
Def Squad skills make it hard to overlook me
That's why them hardcore promoters still book me
You shook G... word up... hah hah...
 
If you see a bag of weed on the floor motherfucker
What the fuck you gon do
Pick it up, pick it up
If you see a bitch passed on out the fuckin ground
What the fuck you gon do
Pick her up, pick her up
I keep it fly y'all
Fly fly y'all (5X)
 
Verse Three:
 
Aiyyo, don't ride the dick of these real MC's
We pull Joints like Spike and blow crews to degrees
Then we buy G's with a half a pound of dope MC's
We bag for cheese just to get weed
Smoke indoneez I'm milky like Magnese
Oh-seven-one-oh-three, rest them car thieves
Guzzlin quart for sports of all sorts
Nonchalant spark buddah on the front porch
At courts, F-U-N-K-D-O-C
S-P-O-T, feel the Solo type remedy
Then freeze.... hah, ha-hah
Where was I? Oh yes
Sippin on Cristal with fingers up your bitch dress
Don't play close cause jealousy make folks act loc
Another nigga smoked from impression
Second guessin my verbal weapon, you're lettin
Spit, sixteen bits, come equipped
And I still walk around with the hooked up
Motorola flip on my hip, fuck the government
Drop shit, it's a microscopic topic
How I stay mo' big than McDonald arches
And uptown got the la-la spots
And bad ass hoes with 54-11 Reeboks
But still, I walk around with the grill
Cause niggaz be blinded by this hip-hop shit for real
I ain't havin that, I'm clappin shit
Fuck this rappin shit, I cause accidents
To any, MC who wonder what got in me
To get busy, it's simply Ginger and Remi
It don't stop, Def Squad crew is hot
Fillin up your brain with supreme octane, and it's on
*static from radio surfing*
 
Thanks Bill
This week on NIN, Niggers in Newark
We're gonna take you through some glorious weed spots
That my camera crew and I had a chance to visit
During our stay in Da Bricks
Although we suffered minor setback this week
When our TV satellite van was stolen
We managed to get around best way possible
We had chances to see spots like
Hawthorne Ave, Hayes Homes, South Orange Ave
Avon Ave, 19th Ave, Chancellor and Bergen
19th and One-Duke; hey if you look closely right now
There's someone about to go for their drugs
Or as they would say, stash
Hey, hey buddy, you about to sell some drugs?
 
(Redman)
Aiyyo man get the fuck out! *blam blam blam*
 
This here, is the telephone line
Of one of the many top notch weed sellers out of Newark
Ladies and gentlemen, what I will try to do
Is tap into the line, and hear an actual drug deal in progress
Shhh...

Raekwon - Incarcerated Scarfaces Lyrics

Raekwon - Incarcerated Scarfaces Video

Intro: LP Version
He looks determined without being ruthless
Something heroic in this man, there's a courage about him
Doesn't look like a killer
Comes across so calm, acts like he has a dream
Full of passion
 
You don't trust me, huh?
Well you know why
I do, we're not supposed to trust anyone in our profession anyway
 
Raekwon the Chef
Knock niggaz out the box all the time
Bitches on my motherfuckin records Pah
Big ones, yeah, big fuckers
Straight up, fuck your whole team
Yeah bust it
Yo, yo, fly G.I. niggaz
 
Now yo yo, whattup yo, time is runnin out
It's for real though, let's connect politic ditto!
We could trade places, get lifted in the staircases
Word up, peace incarcerated scarfaces
 
Thug related style attract millions Fans,
They understand my plan, who's the kid up in the green Land?
Me and the RZA connect, blow a fuse, you lose
Half-ass crews get demolished and bruised
Fake be frontin, hourglass heads niggaz be wantin
Shuttin down your slot; time for pumpin
Poisonous sting which thumps up and act chumps
Raise a heavy generator, but yo, guess who's the black Trump?
Dough be flowin by the hour's Wu, we got the collars, scholars
Word life, peace to power and my whole unit
Word up! Quick to set it, don't wet it
Real niggas lick shots, peace kinetic Kid
 
Now yo yo, whattup yo, time is runnin out
It's for real though, let's connect politic ditto!
We could trade places, get lifted in the staircases
Word up, peace incarcerated scarfaces
 
Chef'll shine like marble, rhyme remarkable
Real niggaz raise up, spend your money, argue
But this time is for the uninvited
Go head and rhyme to it, big nigga mics is gettin fired
Morphine chicks be burnin like chlorine
Niggaz recognize from here to Baltimore to Fort Greene
But hold up, Moet be tastin like throw-up
My mob roll up, dripped to death whips rolled up
Ya never had no wins, slidin in these dens wit Timbs
Wit Mac-10's and broke friends
Ya got guns, got guns too, what up son, do
You wanna battle for cash and see who Sun too?
I probably wax, tax, smack rap niggaz who fax
Niggaz lyrics is wack nigga
Can't stand unofficial, wet tissue, blank bustin Scud missles
You rollin like Trump, you get your meat lumped
For real, it's just slang rap democracy
Here's the policy, slide off the ring, plus the Wallabees
Check the status, soon to see me at Caesar's Palace eatin salads
We beatin mics and the keys to Dallas
I move rhymes like retail, make sure shit sell
From where we at to my man's cell
From staircase to stage, minimun wage
But soon to get a article in RapPage
But all I need is my house, my gat, my Ac
Bank account fat it's goin' down like that
And pardon the French but let me speak Italian
Black Stallion, dwellin on Shaolin
That means the island of Staten
And niggaz carry gats and mad police from Manhattan
 
Now yo yo, whattup yo, time is runnin out
It's for real though, let's connect politic ditto!
We could trade places, get lifted in the staircases
Word up, peace incarcerated scarfaces
 
I do this for barber shop niggaz in the Plaza
Catchin asthma, Rae is stickin gun-flashers
Well-dressed, skatin through the projects wit big ones
Broke elevators, turn the lights out, stick one
Upstairs, switch like a chameleon, Hip Brazilians
Pass the cash or leave your children, leave the buildin
Niggas, yo they be foldin' like envelopes
Under pressure like Lou Farigno on coke
Yo, Africans denyin niggaz up in yellow cabs
Musty like funk, wavin they arms, the Arabs
Sit back, coolin like Kahlua's on rocks
On the crack spots, rubberband wrapped on my knots
You bitches who fuck dreds on Sudafeds
Pussy's hurtin, they did it for a yard for the Feds
Word up cousin, nigga, I seen it
Like a 27-inch Zenith believe it!
 
Now yo yo, whattup yo, time is runnin out
It's for real though, let's connect politic ditto!
We could trade places, get lifted in the staircases
Word up, peace incarcerated scarfaces
 
Now yo yo, whattup yo, time is runnin out
It's for real though, let's connect politic ditto!
... get lifted in the staircases
... peace incarcerated scarfaces
 
... time is runnin out
... politic ditto!

Paramore - Feeling Sorry Lyrics

Paramore - Feeling Sorry Video

We still live in the same town, well don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
Your days are numbered at twenty-four
 
And I'm getting bored waiting around for you
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'Cause there's no use
It's time to move forward
 
I feel no sympathy
You live inside a cave
You barely get by
The rest of us are trying
There's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
 
Well I try not to think of what might happen
When your reality, it finally cuts through
Well, as for me I got out and I'm on the road
The worst part it that this (this!), this could be you
 
You know it too, you can't run from your shame
You're not getting any younger, and time
Keeps passing by, but you wave it away
It's time to roll over
 
I feel no sympathy
You live inside a cave
You barely get by
The rest of us are trying
There's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
 
And all the best lies
They are told with fingers tied
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out
 
I feel no sympathy
You live inside a cave
You barely get by
The rest of us are trying
There's no need to apologize
I've got no time, I've got no time
 
I feel no sympathy
You live inside a cave
You barely get by
The rest of us are trying
There's no need to apologize
Got no time
 
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!

No Question - If You Really Wanna Go Lyrics

No Question - If You Really Wanna Go Video

Tell me why you're trippin
While I'm out acting a fool
You don't have to work for nothing
Cause I make sure that you're cool
The only thing that matters
Is that you stay honest with me
If I am your boy
Then who the hell is he
Last night you didn't even come home
I sat out on your steps and called you all night long
Feel God from the depth of my soul
I can't hold you if you wanna let go, oh,oh,oh,oh,
 
Chorus:
If you really wanna go,
Go on, don't stay
If you really wanna take your love away
If you really wanna go solo
It's okay
Babe it's you life, ooh ooh
 
Remember when I met you
You life was lack of love
I gave your life a reason
You should thank the Lord above
 
You felt someone to take your messes
And sometimes understand
Who would hold you next to God,
It will never raise a hand
I could've sworn I've done everything alright
You got a man who comes home to you
Each and every night
I'm so mad
I just wanna jump place
But if you wanna go
Then I can't make you stay
 
Chorus
 
Tell me what I'm suppose to do now
I wish that it could work out somehow
I laced you up,
Gave you all my love,
Showed you the game and I read you up
Now you say you just wanna bounce
 
Chorus till end

Nas - Heaven Lyrics

Nas - Heaven Video

(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you
 
Nas
If Heaven was a mile away
And you could ride by the gates
Would you try to run inside when it opens would you try to die today?
Would you pray louder finally believing His power?
Even if you couldn't see, but you could feel would you still doubt him?
How would you start acting?
Would you try to put the ki's down?
Thinking every drug sell that you make in the streets He can see now
Would a fiend even want to get high, would he stop smoking?
If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in
To get away and escape from the craziness
And I bet you there's a Heaven for an atheist
It's hard taking this
Racist planet where they take another brother in a handcuff
Even if he innocent nigga get on the car put your motherfucking hands up
Thinking I'm a lose it
My mom's in chemo
Three times a week, yo keep trying but people
Is hard and God, your young soldier's not so bold
But need you
This world's my home but world I would leave
 
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you
 
Nas
Nigga what you think I'ma stop building
I'ma stop feeling like I'm Amistad's great great grandchildren
How I'm not gonna want to make millions
Since the quarter water days in the hallways making fake coke
Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper in my mouth all day
But then my style has quite a while that same type as Ill and Al Skratch
Game time to them cats never looked back Cristal blowing dub sacks
That's when it all just hit me
You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less my nigga spend it all with me
I'd give it all away quickly
Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks free of any autographs so
Not to be recognized forgive me
It's becoming unbearable
Making hits is easy
Put a famous bitch on the hook there you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise
Preachers touching on altar boys
Sodomizing not realizing God is watching before the Lord
How can they do the devil's work?
A man giving another man head in church
Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought wishing that I fled the Earth.
 
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you

Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life Lyrics

Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life Video

One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll . . .
 
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
 
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
 
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
 
One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

I need a lover to give me
The kind of love

Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely night

Marc Almond - The Days Of Pearly Spencer Lyrics

Marc Almond - The Days Of Pearly Spencer Video

A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
 
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
 
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
He stumbles blindly on
 
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass has gone
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
 
Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot-gut gin
You played and lost not won
 
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
The race is almost run
 
A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
 
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost won
