Green Day - When I Come Around Lyrics

Green Day - When I Come Around Video

Well, I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
'Cause you've been searching for that someone and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
 
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment, sleazing my backyard, so don't get
So uptight you've been thinking about ditching me
 
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
 
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user, so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right
 
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
 
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
 
Woo
 
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around

Fat Joe - Still Real Lyrics

Fat Joe - Still Real Video

It's so depressing, uh..
Be the realest shit I ever wrote (Money and cars bitches)
Shit Is Real Part 2.. (drugs) modern day.. (society yaknow?)
See what it's like to walk in my shoes
It ain't all fun and games (ya heard?)
 
Yo yo
I'm sick and tired of stressin, every days a different lesson
I'm free-fallin tryna leave this deep depression
My son Joey still slow, my moms got cancer in her throat
My big brother sniffin dope
Lemme know how many motherfucker wanna be just like me
Screamed at and treated like shit by your wifey
This hot bitch be sweatin the coke cash
My baby mother think I grow dough out my ass
It's like, how much fight I got left in me?
Niggaz won't be happy till they bring the fuckin death of me
But you never see Joe look weak or flow off beat
And Charlie sees the board in four more weeks
 
Chorus 2x
You gotta walk where I walked
Bang where I bang
Slang where I hang
To get where I'm going to
Stay where I stay
Blaze who I blazed
Pay dues how I payed
To get where I'm going to
 
Fat Joe
Uh, yo, the South Bronx, nine years later
Ain't nuttin changed, niggaz still playa haters
T.S. the best that's done it, forever live and never front it
Reminisce of when I used to hold heat and tell niggaz run it
Now we flooded with jewels, hundreds of dudes
Crowd the Coliseum to hear they favorite tunes
Then at the time of our prime we caught a sick one
The angels came down, took my twin Big Pun
Shit were unbalanced throughout the whole world
All I could do was try to provide for his seeds and his old girl
Hope your listenin, tell Ton' that we still missin him
I'm like a prisoner in jail with no visitors
 
Chorus 2x
 
Fat Joe
Yeah, uh, aiyyo the third verse is dedicated to you
Even though you switched teams, I'm praying for you
We used to stay up all night countin dollar for dollar
You was my son's godfather, where the fuck is your honor?
Can't even rap the shit we did together
You'd probably have me shackled locked down doin bids forever
You broke the first code
I'd like to twist ya wifey till it roasts gold
Snitch nigga, turned state to sold ya soul
How could a nigga that was clappin in the streets
Start yappin to the deez, like what I rightly should believe?
Like ever verse is a charge, for every hurt there's a scar
I never once tried to hurt cha'll
I'm just tryna do me, sell a few CD's
Buy land in Miami and cop a new B come on!
 
Joe talking
Motherfuckers think it's sweet
Think a nigga got money and a nigga don't feel pain
You ain't never feel my pain
You don't know what the fuck I'm goin through
Niggaz lookin at me like, He got it made
Like I ain't lose Pun, my grandfather a week later
My aunt a month later
Like my fuckin sister ain't in a coma right now!
You motherfuckers don't know pain!
Let's get one thing clear; money'll never buy you happiness
My true niggaz walk with me now!
 
Chorus 2x

Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers Lyrics

Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers Video

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down...
 
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
 
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
 
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
 
Now the Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this shit be way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
 
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build?
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' it
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
 
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over TV down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
Like Fuck it, I understand this is business
And this shit just isn't none of my business.
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute 'cuz
 
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
 
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
But now it's elevated 'cuz once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?
 
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him
 
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em, and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pulled in another direction
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
 
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
But now he's fucked the game up 'cuz one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication, the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
Well fuck it, that mutherfucker can get it too, fuck him then
 
When I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
 
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
To have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in our corners
 
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt or murdered
It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Than to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the verdict
 
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
If y'all can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin'
'Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience 'cuz
 
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

Dream Theater - The Test That Stumped Them All Lyrics

Dream Theater - The Test That Stumped Them All Video

She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive
 
It takes a village
This she knows is true
They're expecting her
And she's got work to do
 
He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad
 
Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
And when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by
 
She was raised in a small midwestern town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her
 
And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind
 
Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
And all she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad
 
'Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression
 
Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race

Diana Ross - All Of You (Duet With Julio Iglesias) Video

Oh...oh...oh...huh
Ooh...yeah...ooh...ah...ha...
 
I never had this feeling before
I never wanted anyone more
And something in your eyes tells me
You feel the way that I do (I feel like you do)
If you would like to stay here all night (Mmm, hmm)
You know that I would say it's all right
Though I'm saying, 'Yes'
I confess I've got more on my mind'
Cause I want more of you than your time
 
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything and I'll take nothin' less
All of you as long as you live
Everything you've never shared before
I want all of you that you can give
All your joys and all your sorrows
Your todays and your tomorrows
How I long to feel the warmth of your touch (Mmm)
And then if I'm not askin' too much
I'd like to spend my life wandering through
All the wonders of you (All the wonder of you)
 
And when we're lying close in the dark
So close I feel each beat of your heart
I want you to reveal what you feel
(All you hold deep inside)
(There is nothing I want you to hide)
All of you, your body and soul
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you, all that you can give
And in return for all you're givin'
Let me give you all of me
 
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything (Everything), everything

Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you, all that you can give
In return (In return) I wanna give you (Let me give you)
All of me

Demi Lovato - Really Don't Care Lyrics

Demi Lovato - Really Don't Care Video

(Demi Lovato)
You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messin' with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I should've known, maybe I should've known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door, hey!
Said we were done and met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the part she broke your heart and when she ran away
I guess you should've known, I guess you should've known
That I would talk, I would talk
 
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
 
I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot but you let go
Now if we meet out on the street I won't be runnin' scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air
And make you understand, and make you understand
You had your chance, had your chance
 
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
 
(Cher Lloyd)
Yeah, listen up!
Hey, hey, never look back, dumbstruck boy, ego intact
Look boy, why you so mad?
Second guess him, but shoulda hit that
Hey Demi, you picked the wrong lover
Should have picked that one, he's cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh 'Cause you're tryna be a hipster
Kick 'em to the curb, take a polaroid picture
 
(Demi Lovato)
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh, I really don't care
Oh oh oh, I really don't care

Dead Sara - I Said You Were Lucky Lyrics

Dead Sara - I Said You Were Lucky Video

Poor mans love, the rich man's smarter,
Brought to their knees about this girl
I said you were lucky and I meant you were lucky, yeah
All to come in the mystery
Clearly spoke hypocrisy
I said you were lucky and I meant you were lucky
 
Who do you love
Who do you sleep with
Who do you want
When you're not with me?
 
You try and pray
You memorize the lies
What you had before, but you're slippin'
 
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had (had had)
 
Was it ever missed out
 
Oceans turn to drowning seas
We suffocated endlessly
I said you were lucky and I meant you were lucky, yeah
The more that I try not to care
Sick with worry and despair
I said you were lucky and I meant you were lucky
 
Who do you love
Who do you sleep with
Who do you want
When you're not with me?
 
You try and pray
You memorize the lies
What you had before, but you're slippin'
 
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
 
You better face it then
It's devastating
You better face it then, or we're gonna die
 
Then take your time
Better off without your record
So you've gone gone
Back home for your love, huh!
So far out
 
You better face it then
 
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had
Where's the love that you've had

David Bowie - Changes Lyrics

David Bowie - Changes Video

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
 
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
 
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still, the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware what they're going through
 
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
 
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
 
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now, you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
