OneRepublic - Say (All I Need) Lyrics

OneRepublic - Say (All I Need) Video

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something, somewhere?
Better just to have it.
 
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong but nothing's,
Turned out how you want it.
 
Well, bless my soul.
You're a lonely soul.
'Cause you won't let go,
Of anything you hold.
 
Well all I need is the air I breathe,
And a place to rest my head.
 
Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best dance, your best look.
You're praying that you'll make it.
 
Well, bless my soul.
You're a lonely soul.
'Cause you won't let go,
Of anything you hold.
 
Well all I need is the air I breathe,
And a place to rest my head.
Said all I need is the air I breathe,
And a place to rest my head.
 
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it.
 
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it.
Better than you had it.
 
Said all I need is the air I breathe,
And a place to rest my head.
Said all I need is the air I breathe,
And a place to rest my head.
 
Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there, go on,
Go ahead and scream it, just say.

Natalie Merchant - River Lyrics

Natalie Merchant - River Video

Young and strong Hollywood son
In the early morning light
This star fell down
On Sunset Boulevard
 
Young and strong beautiful one
That we embrace so close
Is gone
Was torn away
 
Let the youth of America mourn
Include him in their prayers
Let his image linger on
Repeat it everywhere
 
With candles and flowers
He was one of ours
One of ours
Why don't you let him be?
He's gone
We know
Give his mother and his father peace
Your vulture's candor
Your casual slander
You murder his memory
He's gone
We know
It's nothing but a tragedy
 
Lay to rest your soul
And body
Lay beside your name
Lay to rest your rage
Your hunger and amazing grace
 
With candles and flowers
You were one of ours
One of ours
 
I saw cameras expose your life
I heard rumours explode with lies
I saw children in tears
Cry and crowd around the sight
Of where you had collapsed that day
Where your last breath and word
Had been sighed
Where your heart had burst
Where you had died
 
I saw how they were lost and grieving
All half believing you were gone
The loss and the pain of it
Crime and the shame of it
You were gone
It was such a nightmare raving
How can we save him
From himself?

N.W.A. - Appetite For Destruction Lyrics

N.W.A. - Appetite For Destruction Video

Dr. Dre
I got a taste for waste and a taste and a blood
Murder I heard her when she screamed the Drop! 'Cause the son caught the slug
Relate this to no choice
And listen to this straight up man before they ban the voice
While I ride to the rhythm of a pop
Remember the first nigga to run is the first to get shot
Whoever said that what I say is portrayed as negativity
Needs to come kick it in the city with me
And find the black and crack in fact
And take that shit back 'Cause they don't wanna fuck with that
There's too many niggaz to try to calm
If mothafuckers could get it, nobody would've fuck with it
Appetite for destruction -
For him to get a bit more shit he gotta commit -
Murder in the first degree a man slaughter
Takin' a life of his wife and young daughter
A whole city of bitches that look sucked up
And the niggaz is killing it's straight fucked up
Whoever saying what I'm saying for greed
The nine even when they're trying to feed my appetite for destruction
 
.. you guys know who I'm talking to ..
 
MC Ren
The Appetite is tremendous so I'm gonna spin this
Drop up some violence because they asked me to end this
Some trouble that I caught 'Cause I was noisy
A nigga tried to take advantage because of the kamikazi
He took took a swing from my hand thought I was faded
Start running for the door but the fucker never made it
The sound of the nine went BANG shot
And all over the wall was his mothafuckin' brain
'Cause I'm a nigga you can't sleep on
So set the alarm, 'Cause I hit like a mothafuckin' bomb
I do damage with the nine in my hand
But the average nigga that don't know me don't understand
I'm from the streets so therefore You know I don't care for
A sucker that ain't down with the real
Niggaz, the niggaz, the niggaz yo
And that's the way the shit gotta go and even so
Any time that the nine wanna leave
I got a .38 hidden up the sleeve
And it's ready to go to war 'Cause that's what it's here for
I shoot down a million niggaz and shoot one more
And that's the million and one They couldn't hang with the appetite
'Cause they wasn't rapping right
So I had to destroy whoever was standing in my presence
For fuckin' up the essence appetite for destruction
 
Cops putting hurt on your ass, man, you know, they really degrade you,
White folks don't believe that shit, don't believe in cops degrading you,
Oh come on, those beatings, those people resisting arrest!?
 
Easy E.
Check it out yo, in tha house yo
So I can show and flow and let the people know
So won't you ease on down to the yellow brick road to Compton
But first let me tell you somethin' -
I possess to 10 commandments of the Hip Hop thugster,
Known as the thief and murderer
First one I'mma die a nigga with an attitude
Gotta get respected breaking mothafuckin' necks
Second one Alwayz gotta fuck out of wedlock
I like it when the pussy goes snack, crackle and pop
Number three I'm a gangsta fanatic
I smoke any fools trying to cause some static
Number four Here's what's the score
A crazy-ass nigga, that remains hard core
Fifth one My killing's has just begun
I pull out my gun that will keep me on the run
Step six Hmmm, it's kinda tricky -
Can't forget that I'm mothafuckin' chicken shit
To the ones who tries to play the E -
By the time you get the seven you'll be 6 feet deep
Number eight Make no mistake,
Move real sneaky and you're bound to catch your prey
Ninth one I gotta be raw,
Fuck any brain once your man made law
Last but not least, I must be real -
Number ten is my appetite to k...

Mystikal - Ghetto Child Lyrics

Mystikal - Ghetto Child Video

(Master P)
It's crazy out here (uhhhhhhh)
Yo mama I'm tryin to keep my head strong (whats up Mystikal?)
 
Uhhhhhh! (uhhhhhh) I'm just a ghetto child trying to make it
Uhhhhhh! I'm just a ghetto child trying to make it
 
(Chorus)
Uhhhhhh! This ghetto got me crazy
Mamma, won't you pray for your baby?
Uhhhhhh! I'm just a ghetto child trying to make it
Mamma, I'm just a ghetto child trying to make it
 
I feel like a bird nigga with no wings
I'm stuck in this ghetto trying to have a little change
My homies killing up each other cause we gotta eat
And I ain't tripping cause I'm running from the police
I done seen little kids in the projects starving
I done seen more hoes messing then Marvin
See in the ghetto the sun it barely shines
But so many niggas in jail and the welfare lines
And all my life I thought Bill Clinton ran the country
Until I found out Bill Gates had all the money
And the media starting east and west coast wars
I'm from the south, where they prejudice on us all
Come out of the powdered milk and eggs don't fill us up
But why the government sold us drugs and charges to clean us up
Gave us three halves and high interest student loans
Four dollar minimum wage and section eight, we call it home
 
Chorus x2
 
(Mystikal)
It's real when you can do whatever you want to do
When you want to do it
Ain't to many niggas out there living like that
That's why the rest of you niggas aint never gone through it
How many niggas in the pen
How many niggas in the cemetary don't know why?
How many strikes y'all niggas need
How many innocent children in the ghetto got to lose their lives?
WHY!!!! Why you gotta make your momma cry?
HUH!!!! She take you out of the street
Cause that's where you gonna die
But you don't listen cause your mind is one track
And your head is hard
And your getting flipped, and your talking back
Showing your ass actin straight up of the wall
Let me talk to y'all, don't think it's too hard to fall
But that's far and all
I done saw it all, it's cool when it started off
Now niggas duckin bullets like dodge-a-ball
Niggas got me scared to plant my seeds, fear of how high it's gonna grow
Living in a messed up world, in a messed up time
I'm telling ya, you can't do shit no more!
It's bigger than us, it's out of our hands
That's why I'm praying to God
Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
It's your world, but where's your children
Your sons and your daughters
We struggling, trying to get out of the ghetto
And Compton trying to make it to mars!!!
 
Chorus x2
 
(Silkk The Shocker)
Dear mama pray for your son, hoping I can make it through this game
Wishing I can change, I've been through so much
Seen so many things, couldn't find the words to explain
The only way to avoid stress is to get high, by drinking hennessey but I
But I can't get too high, cause I gotta keep my eyes on my enemies
I've seen harder times, but there gonna be some harder days
Penetentary close, but you know what? Cemeteries aint that far away
Before I die I'm trying to make the whole world feel
Like our people scared to stand there
The way we express ourself, they think that we all some killers
But look into the eyes of a ghetto child influenced by the street
Go to sleep to gunshots, wake up from the sirens of the police
See now my life aint been the same nigga, life as a thug
If I had to draw a picture of my life
I have to paint my picture in blood
Closest homie died, before he die little cousin told me this
Get you something cause cemetaries
Packed full of niggas who had dreams to be rich
So keep your head up, to all my ghetto children it was hard
To tell my family one day I was gonna grow up to make millions
When I told them, they seemed to laugh at my so called dream
I like to scream when I came home from jail
When I was told best friend turned into a fiend
I aint gonna lie, my conscience aint clear, when I close my eyes
Of course you gotta realize, god forgive me, I'm just trying to survive
They cut welfare and health care, that shit gotta stop
I got a positive note, my auntie having a baby
Congratulations, she on rocks
 
Chorus 2X

Mya - Can't Believe Lyrics

Mya - Can't Believe Video

You told me that you didn't love her anymore, oh
Then you turn around and you walked out the door, oh
Whether you go or if you stay babe
I'll still be loving you any way
I know I just can't stand the pain
 
Chorus
And I can't believe
That she's the one you really love
And I can't believe
That she has your heart
Cause it seems to me
She's the one that you're thinking of
And I can't believe that he is gone
And she's the one who took your love away
 
I can't believe it's true
That you're not in my life, life
So tell me what did we go wrong, ooh baby
So now that you're gone
All I do is count the days
I'm sorry that you didn't wanna stay
But I will be loving you any way, hey
 
Chorus
 
Sooner or later you're gonna see
The mistake you've made baby
And you're gonna run back to me
And you never should've made me cry
And boy let me tell you why
Cause you had the best, the very best
That's why I can't believe that you've gone away
 
Chorus til end

Baby it's yours
No one does it better
Baby it's yours
Make it last forever
You know that it's yours
Long as were together
Baby you can rest assure

When you're in your bed
And it's your time
Don't try to deny
I know you're thinking about me all the time (All the time)
Baby boo, I'm hooked on you
And I know I got you feeling it

No one does it better

Make it last forever
You know that it's yours
Long as were together

Muse - Starlight Video

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
 
Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
 
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
 
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
 
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
 
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Motorhead - Born To Raise Hell Lyrics

Motorhead - Born To Raise Hell Video

Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear
I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don't you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop
I don't mind, I don't mind
I can run a razor right up your spine
What are you waiting for?
What do you think you were created for?
Show us you care, show us you dare
You don't know what happened, not if you weren't there
 
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Voodoo medicine, cast my spell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Play that guitar just like ringin' a bell
 
Take it or leave it
 
Going for broke, rock till you choke
It don't matter if you drink or smoke
Speak through the beat, get up on your feet
Sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet
Don't you be scared, don't you be scared
Everybody terrified, it don't seem fair
What are you waiting for?
What do you think you were created for?
Out of your seat, blind in the heat
Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet
 
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Gone back to zero, take a pill and get well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Be a good soldier and die where you fell
 
Eat your mama
 
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go on out and boogie 'Cause you never can tell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Be a good soldier and die where you fell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
