Bad Company - No Smoke Without A Fire Lyrics

Bad Company - No Smoke Without A Fire Video

Ooh, you're like a book with a page torn out
You can turn from a whisper to a shout, ooh yeah
You come running just as fast as you can, into the arms of another man, yeah
 
But you can do what you wanna do now, tell me what you wanna say
You can take what you wanna take, babe, take it all away
 
Oh oh, there's no smoke without a fire, and there's no heat without a flame
Oh oh, there's no love without desire, but I won't play your games
 
Ooh, you've got the looks that can turn a head
You've got a turn that can leave a man dead, ooh yeah
You keep tellin' me our love is alright
You disappear, you don't come home all night
 
Just tell me what you wanna do now, tell me where you wanna go
It's your life, you can do what you want, baby let me know
 
Oh oh, there's no smoke without a fire, and there's no heat without a flame
Oh oh, there's no love without desire, but I won't play your games
 
Please don't ask me why
'Cos I can't quite explain, I'm like a moth to your flame
 
Yeah, just tell me what you wanna do now, tell me where you wanna go
It's your life, you can do what you want, baby let me know, yeah
 
Oh oh, there's no smoke without a fire, and there's no heat without a flame
Oh oh, there's no love without desire, but I won't play your games
- let's talk about it
 
Oh oh, there's no smoke without a fire, and there's no heat without a flame
Oh oh, there's no love without desire, but I won't play your games

Afroman - Palmdale Lyrics

Afroman - Palmdale Video

Just like bums, we used to stay in the slums of LA by the way
Gang-bangers killin' each other for rep, sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep
Had a ball to bounce plus a bike to ride, but my mamma never would let me play outside.
But when I got enrolled in elementary school, started bangin' like a fuckin' fool.
So cool, throwin' up gang signs to the gangster beat, shot an enemy from across the street
Mamma came home, said she got a good job. Daddy did too. Now they don't squab.
Financially, we improvin'. 2 months later, son, we movin'.
No more duckin' from shotgun shells. Bought a two-story house in East Palmdale.
(give it to me now.)
 
Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, come back to me.
(Check it out, check it out, check it out.)
 
No more rats and no more roaches, livin' next door to football coaches.
Now I got a new place to sell my crack. Now I got little white kids to jack.
I stopped wearin' blue, wasn't trippin' on red. Too busy squabbin' with the skinheads.
Stupid questions, distract the class. Rubbin' little white girls on the ass.
I didn't really care if I passed or failed, I knew I was headed for the NFL,
Until the playoff game, shoulder got hurt. I thought about my future, layin' in the dirt.
I can't jump, I can't flinch. Superstar player, ridin' the bench.
Graduate from school? Don't make me laugh. I got an F+ in basic math.
(give it to me now.)
 
Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me.
I gotta do one song for my neighborhood. Bucccoooc!
Palmdale, come back to me.
(check it out.)
 
I knew I couldn't make it in the white man's world, so I bought me some khakis and a Geri curl.
I knew I couldn't make it to the NFL, I went to East Palmdale and started slangin' llello.
Fo' sho'! I was makin' crazy dough. Shoulda dropped outta school a long time ago.
Bought a cell phone, likin' it. Now I deliver like Pizza Hut.
I drunk whiskey and Bacardi. I sold dope to anybody.
Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes, took turns bustin' rhymes just to pass the time.
A white man drove up to my spot. He said, Hey, homeboy, what you got?
I put a fat rock inside his hand. About 25 sheriffs jumped out the van.
(Get down, punk.)
 
Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, come back to me.
(check it out, check it out, check it out.)
 
Can't get drunk. Can't get blunted. LA County, 95 hundred.
Crips wanna take my All-stars. Bloods wanna eat my Snicker bars.
Them peckerwoods don't want none, but the Mexican's straight own one.
Them Eses, catorces, treces, always tryin' to test me,
So I jumped off the bed, cause I ain't no punk. Jammed his head up against the bunk.
Socked that Cholo in his chin. Black mutha-fuckas scared to jump in.
Sheriff broke it up when we hit the floor. I kept talkin' shit cause I want some more.
Back in town, we get along with the brown. Now I'm in jail, they tryin' to beat me down.
Jail is hell, but I'll adapt. Won't hesitate to get in a scrap.
'Cause I'm down for mine, and that's for certain, sittin' in the hole with my knuckles hurtin'.
(Palmdale.)
 
Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, come back to me.
(check it out, homeboy.)
 
Now I got a fucked up life. Two bad kids and a naggin' wife.
Dead end job at the airport. Check too short to pay the house note.
Turn on the TV, then I see different homeboys that went to school with me
Playin' in the NFL. We used to kick back in East Palmdale.
Rodney Williams. Lorenz Tate. Zeno plays for Colorado State.
I wish my homeboys much success, but at the same time, I still get depressed.
Walkin' through the wind with a cup full of gin thinkin' 'bout things that coulda, woulda, shoulda been.
I wipe my tears, sip my beers, wish good luck to my peers.
(Palmdale.)
 
Palmdale, come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, (Palmdale) come back to me.
Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began.
 
Palmdale, (Palmdale) come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, (Oh yeah) come back to me.
Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began.
 
Palmdale, come back to me.
(Hey, all the homeboys on the football team, where y'all at man?)
Palmdale, come back to me.
(Hey, wherever you at in the world, I don't care if you in Japan, Africa
Hey, you know how we used to do it, man. Hey, hey, hey.)
Yo, let me get a Palm (Palm!)
Yo, let me get a Dale (Dale!)
Yo, what do we sell? (llello!)
Yo, where we fittin' to go? (We fittin' to go back to jail!)
(x4)
 
Dale. Palmdale. (Hey, everybody just clap your hands.)
Dale. Palmdale. (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. Buci-buci-bucccoooc!)
Dale. Palmdale.
Dale. (Where them Falcons at?) Palmdale. (It ain't over 'til the fat man sings.)
Dale. (Little Rock can't get none. What, what?) Palmdale.
Dale. Palmdale.

Aerosmith - I'm Not Talking Lyrics

Aerosmith - I'm Not Talking Video

I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
If I say things are splendid
You might just be offended
If I say things are awful
It might just be unlawful
And that's one thing I can do without
 
I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
I used to think I knew her
Man I sure would do her
The things that really matter
Gonna make some idle chatter
And that's one thing I can do without
 
Oww
Yeah
 
I'm not talkin'
A that's what I gotta say
The things I said at midnight
I may not say in daylight
I reached a final conclusion
It only breeds confusion
So don't call me daddy I'll call you
 
Yeow!
 
Huh
C'mon
 
I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
I used to think I knew her
Man I sure would do her
The things that really matter
Gonna make sweet idle chatter baby
And that's one thing I can do without
 
Whoa, whoa
 
Yeah

2Pac - Words Of Wisdom Lyrics

2Pac - Words Of Wisdom Video

Killing us one by one
In one way or another
American will find a way to eliminate the problem
One by one
The problem is
The troubles in the black youth of the ghettos
And one by one
We are being wiped off the face of this earth
At an extremly alarming rate
And even more alarming is the fact
That we are not fighting back
Brothers, sistas, niggas
When I say niggas it is not the nigga we are grown to fear
It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning
But to me
It means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Acomplishes, nigga
Niggas what are we going to do
Walk blind into a line or fight
Fight and die if we must like niggas
 
This is for the masses the lower classes
The ones you left out, jobs were givin', better livin'
But we were kept out
Made to feel inferior, but we're the superior
Break the chains in our brains that made us fear yah
Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us
Honour a man that who refuses to respect us
Emancipation Proclamation, please!
Lincoln just said that to save the nation
These are lies that we all accepted
Say no to drugs but the governments' keep it
Running through our community, killing the unity
The war on drugs is a war on you and me
And yet they say this is the Home of The Free
But if you ask me its all about hyprocracy
The constitution, Yo, it don't apply to me
Lady Liberty still the bitch lied to me
Steady strong nobody's gonna like what I pumpin'
But its wrong to keeping someone from learning something
So get up, its time to start nation building
I'm fed up, we gotta start teaching childern
That they can be all that they wanna to be
There's much more to life than just poverty
 
This is defaintly ahhh words of wisdom
AMERIKA, AMERIKA, AMERIKKKA
I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault
For suppressing and punishing my people
I charge you with robery for robbing me of my history
I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me
Trapped in the projects
And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts
And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes
Prosecutor do you have any more evidience
 
Words of Wisdom
They shine upon the strength of an nation
Conquer the enemy on with education
Protect thy self, reach with what you wanna do
Know thy self, teach what we been through
On with the knowledge of the place, then
No one will ever oppress this race again
No Malcolm X in my history text
Why is that?
Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind
I get sweated, They act as if asking questions is a crime
But forget it, one day I'm gonna prove them wrong
Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line
The american dream, though it seems it attainable
They're pulling your sleave, don't believe
Cause it will strangle yah
Pulling the life of your brain, I can't explain
Beg as you can obtain from which you came
Swear that your mother is living in equality
Forgeting your brother that's living her apology
Thought they had us beat when they took our kids
But the battle ain't over till the black man sings
Words of Wisdom
But the battle ain't over till the black man sings
Words of Wisdom
 
NIGHTMARE thats what I am
America's nightmare
I am what you made me
The hate and evil that you gave me
I shine of a reminder of what you have done to my people
For Four hundred plus years
You should be scared
You should be running
You should be trying to silence me
Ha ha
But you can not escape fate
Well it is my turn to come
Just as you rose you shall fall
By my hands
Amerika, You reap what you sow
2pacalypse America's Nightmare
Ice Cube and Da Lench Mob America's Nightmare
Above the Law America's Nightmare
Paris America's Nightmare
Public Enemy America's Nightmare
Krs-One America's Nightmare
Mutulu Shakur America's Nightmare
Geronimo Pratt America's Nightmare
Assada Shakur America's Nightmare

ZZ Top - Give It Up Lyrics

ZZ Top - Give It Up Video

I bet the derby and I won by a nose,
I bet Vegas and they took my clothes.
I bet Monte Carlo I was showin' my stuff,
I bet on you baby, now ain't that enough?
 
You got to give it up,
Give it up baby.
Give it up.
You got to give it up, baby, tell me where it's at.
 
Well there's a few more things you need to know about me,
I trained trigger single-handedly.
I invented see-through negligees,
And I bought the flying saucer off the Presley estate.
 
You got to give it up,
You got to give it up baby.
Give it up.
You got to give it up, baby, tell me where it's at.
 
I fell in love down in Mexico,
Thunderbird wine's the only way to go.
I been in love ten thousand times,
All you got to do is remember my line.

Xscape - Do You Want To Lyrics

Xscape - Do You Want To Video

Never should have kissed you
Never made that call
I told myself, in love I shouldn't fall
Would have been a pleasure just to know your name
Look at me, silly me, now I'm back in love again
 
And there's nothing you can tell me, nothing I can do
I just hope that you're in love with me
The way that I'm in love with you
 
Do you want to, like I want to be in love with you
Say I do
Do you want to, like I want, want to make love to you
Say I do
 
Never understand it
Love it takes control
I ask myself, girl should you let it go
That would be too crazy
Love without you now
Hate to think, ever think, you won't be around
 
Now there's something you can tell me
Something you can say
Promise me you'll stay with me
Until my dying day
 
Do you want to, like I want to be in love with you
Say I do
Do you want to, like I want, I wanna to make love to you
Say I do
 
Now my deep emotions have completely come over me
I'm into you I'm loving you too deep, oh yes I am
 
Should have seen it coming
Now my heart's beating much too weak
Can't control, I can't let go
Of you baby, you baby, you oh!
 
Do you want to, like I want to be in love with you
Say I do
Do you want to, like I want, I wanna to make love to you
Say I do
 
Did it feel good to you baby, like it felt good to me (to be in love with you)
Oh, say I do
Do you want it again, baby, baby, cause I want it right now
Oh, wanna make love to you
 
Do you want to, like I want to be in love with you
Say I do
Do you want to, like I want, want to make love to you
Say you do (repeat until end)

Warren G - Regulate Lyrics

Warren G - Regulate Video

G:
Regulators
We regulate any stealing of his property
We're damn good too
But you can't be any geek off the street
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!
Regulators! Mount up!
 
G:
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G. was on the streets, trying to consume
Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some phones
Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone
 
Nate:
Just hit the Eastside of the LBC
On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
Seen a car full of girls, ain't no need to tweak
All you skirts know what's up with 2-1-3
 
G:
So I hooks a left on 2-1 and Lewis
Some brothas shootin' dice so I said Let's do this
I jumped out the ride, and said What's up?
Some brothas pulled some gats so I said I'm stuck.
 
Nate:
Since these girls peepin' me I'ma glide and swerve
These hookers lookin' so hard they straight hit the curb
Won't 'cha think of better things than some horny tricks
I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix
 
G:
I'm gettin' jacked, I'm breakin' myself
I can't believe they taking Warren's wealth
They took my rings, they took my Rolex
I looked at the brotha said Damn, what's next?
 
Nate:
They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
Can't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
They wanna come up real quick before they start to clown
I best pull out my strap and lay them busters down
 
G:
They got guns to my head
I think I'm going down
I can't believe this happenin' in my own town
If I had wings I would fly
Let me contemplate
I glance in the cut and I see my homey Nate
 
Nate:
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they droppin' and yellin'
It's a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to regulate
 
I laid all them busters down
I let my gat explode
Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
If you want skirts sit back and observe
I just left a gang of hoes over there on the curb
 
G:
Now Nate got the freaks
And that's a known fact
Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Back up, back up cause it's on
N-A-T-E and me
The Warren to the G.
 
Nate:
Just like I thought
They were in the same spot
In need of some desperate help
The Nate Dogg and the G. Child
Were in need of something else
One of them dames was sexy as hell
I said Ooh, I like your size
She said My car's broke down and you sing real nice,
Would ya let me ride?
I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell
The next stop is the Eastside Motel
 
G:
I'm tweaking
Into a whole new era
G-Funk
Step to this, I dare ya
Funk, on a whole new level
 
Nate:
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
 
G:
Chords
Strings
We brings
Melody
G-Funk
Where rhythm is life
And life is rhythm
 
Nate:
If you know like I know
You don't wanna step to this
It's the G-Funk era
Funked out with a gangsta twist
If you smoke like I smoke
Then you're high like everyday
And if your ass is a buster
2-1-3 will regulate

Train - Words Lyrics

Train - Words Video

I'd give anything, but I won't give up on you
I'd say anything, but not goodbye
I will roll with your changes and I'm always on your side
And there's not a word I've ever heard that would make me change my mind
 
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let 'em burn
 
Like stones in your pocket people try to weigh you down
Someone always wants to take the love you've found
So let's roll with these changes and I want you by my side
And there's not a word I've ever heard that could make me change my mind
 
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let 'em burn
 
Let them burn
Let them burn
Underneath every word somebody's heart been broken
With or without words we try to forgive
 
Words they'll try to shake us
Don't let them break us
Or stop our world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let 'em burn
 
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world, stop your world from turning round
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let them burn
 
Let them burn
Let them burn
