Beastie Boys - Paul Revere Lyrics

Beastie Boys - Paul Revere Video

Now here's a little story I gots to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history
With Ad-Rock, MCA and me, Mike D.
 
I had a little horsey named Paul Revere
Just me and my horsey and a quart of beer
Ridin' cross the land, kickin' up sand
Sheriff's posse's on my tail 'Cause I'm in demand
 
One lonely Beastie I be
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat
The air is gettin' hot, the beer is gettin' flat
 
Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy
His name is MCA, I said howdy, he said hi.
 
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed
Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst
The brew was in my hand, and he was on my tip
His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for a sip
 
He said Can I get some?
I said You can't get none.
I had a chance to run,
But he pulled out his shotgun.
Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead.
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said
 
Now, my name is MCA, I got a license to kill.
I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill.
So what do we have here? An outlaw and his beer.
I run this land, you understand, I've made myself clear.
 
We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin
As if this story's over, but it's ready to begin
 
I've got the gun, you've got the brew.
You've got two choices of what you can do.
It's not a tough descision as you can see.
I can blow you away or you can ride with me.
 
I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border.
The Sheriff is after me for what I did to his daughter.
I did it like this, I did it like that.
I did it with the whiffle ball bat.
 
So I'm on the run, the cop's got my gun.
And right about now it's time to have some fun.
The King Ad-Rock, that is my name,
And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne.
 
We rode for six hours then we hit the spot
The beat was-a-bumpin' and the girlies was hot
This dude was starin' like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar
 
MCA said Yo, you know this kid?
I said I didn't but I knew he did
The kid said, Get ready, cuz this ain't funny.
My name is Mike D and I'm about to get money.
 
He pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky.
He yelled, Stick 'em up! And let two fly.
Hands went up and people hit the floor.
He wasted two kids that ran for the door.
 
I'm Mike D and I get respect.
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect.
MCA what with it, and he's my ace,
So I grabbed the piano player and punched him in the face
 
The piano player's out, the music stopped
This boy had beef, and he got dropped.
Mike D grabbed the money, MCA snatched the gold.
I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.

Amerie - All I Have Lyrics

Amerie - All I Have Video

I feel so unsure
TREMBLING, YOU OPENED your door
Your eyes glistening
Silly me I'm already missing you
 
And this is all I have (All I have)
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know it's not enough
THOUGHT our love will never end (no)
One more touch
Is all I have
All I have
 
You said that we'd forever be in love
And you showed me life like I never knew
Things I never even dreamed of
But your smile just don't seem the same
And when you tell me you feel it too
I'm not sure who's to blame
Cause I gave everything
 
And this is all I have (All I have)
All I have to give (To give)
All I have to give (To give you)
This one last kiss (This one last kiss)
I know it's not enough (Ooh, Ooh)
Though our love will never end (yeah, hey)
One more touch (whoa)
Is all I have
All I have
 
I can't believe
I can't believe (I can't believe)
This love is leaving me (YAH)
Love is leaving me (no, no, no)
And I can't believe (I can't believe)
What we've come to be (what we've come to be baby)
What we've come to be (whoa)
 
And I wish I could make it like it used to be
Can't believe I'm through loving you
And Your through loving me, you
And in the middle of my final tears
You call out my name, my name
You cried out my name
But it could never be the same
Cause this is all I have
 
And this is all I have (OOOoh, WHOA)
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss (Your smile don't seem the same)
I know it's not enough (OOoh)
Though our love will never end (yeah, yeah, yeah)
One more touch (hey)
Is all I have
All I have (Why you lookin at me)
 
And this is all I have (Why you lookin at me)
All I have to give (I don't know)
All I have to give (I don't know who's to blame)
This one last kiss (In this situation baby, HEY)
I know it's not enough (oh)
Though our love will never end (oh no)
One more touch (no no)
Is all I have
All I have

Abba - Super Trouper Lyrics

Abba - Super Trouper Video

Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
 
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
 
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly its gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
 
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
 
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I wont feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
 
Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
 
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
 
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
 
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
 
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
 
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
 
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

702 - Finally Lyrics

702 - Finally Video

Verse One:
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see,
I couldn't think, I could not believe,
How good it felt when we touched.
I couldn't fight, I couldn't try,
I couldn't hide, I could not deny,
That lightning can strike more than once.
 
Chorus:
Finally I know anything is possible,
Finally I know that some things are beyond our control.
Finally I know all is fair in love and war,
Finally I know there's no need for keeping score,
No need to worry.
 
Verse Two:
I didn't see, I didn't want,
I didn't need, I did not recognise,
That love was there inside your eyes.
I didn't say, I didn't act,
I didn't complain, I did not resign,
But something happened that felt so right.
 
Bridge:
I was so amazed by the magic that I found in you,
I can't describe it but I know that I like it,
What you do.
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Break:
Finally I know that life has a gaurantee,
That nothing tastes the same,
And everything must change.
Finally I've come to realise,
There is a reason for every season.
 
Repeat Bridge and Chorus
 
Repeat Chorus to fade

311 - Don't Stay Home Lyrics

311 - Don't Stay Home Video

Life could slip away
In absent minded numbness
I'm only saying this cuz
I wish for the best
When you always stay in
Self incarceration
I think it's such a shame
 
(chorus)
Don't stay home this time
No don't stay home
Ooh
If he don't have to
He don't want to
Don't stay home this time
No don't say no
 
Ooh
How I like to
Diffuse your bomb of anger
It's screaming danger danger
This kind of world don't care if your home
So you better get some
 
(chorus)
 
Everything I'm sayin
You can dismiss
Because I sat alone
On this past Christmas
I deserve to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
 
Heeey
 
Don't break mold kid
Just eat around it
Yeah that's what I did
I'll be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin you'll catch me doin
In any season
Gotta break a sweat man
Got--ta bust out
Good--good--good bye now goodbye to the drought ugh!
 
(repeat chorus 2x)

I dedicate this record, the carnival to all you brothers takin' long
Trips down south, virginia, baltimore, all around the world, and your
Girl gets this message that you ain't comin' back. she's sittin' back
In the room, the lights are off, she's cryin', and then my voice comes in
Pow!, in the middle of the night, and this is what I told her for you
 
Chorus: (sung)
 
Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See, you got to understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til november
Said I'll be gone 'til november, yo I'll be gone 'til november
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I'll be gone 'til november
I'll be gone 'til november, I'll be gone 'til november
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I'll be gone 'til november

When I come back, there'll be no need to clock
I'll have enough money to buy out blocks
Tell my brother, go to school in september
So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer
Tell my cousin, jerry, wear his condom
If you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
Woh oh oh oh
You sucker mc's, you got no flow
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o

I had to flip nuttin' and turn it into somethin'
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk (bing!)
Commit treason, then I'll have a reason to hunt you down
It's only right, it's rappin' season
Yeah, you with the loud voice, posin' like you're top choice
Your voice, I'll make a hearse out of your rolls royce
Besides, I got my girl to remember
And I'll commit it that I'll be back in november

I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival

Westlife - I Don't Wanna Fight Lyrics

Westlife - I Don't Wanna Fight Video

I cant sleep
Everything i ever knew
Is a lie, without you
 
I cant breathe
When my heart is broke in two
There's no beat
Without you
 
You're not gone, but you're not here
Is this the way it seems tonight
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
Cause baby
 
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
And as lonely as its in my heart
Won't let me be apart from you
 
I don't wanna have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So, I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight, no more
 
How can I live
When everything that I adore
And everything I'm living for
Girl its in you
 
I can't dream
Sleepless nights have got me by
The only dream I've ever had
Is being with you
 
I know that we can make it right
Its gonna take a little time
Lets not leave ourselves with no way out
Lets not cross that line (that line)
 
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
And as lonely as its in my heart
Won't let me be apart from you
 
I don't wanna have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So, I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight, no more
 
Remember that, I made a vow
That I will never let you go
I meant it then, I mean it now
And I wanna tell you so
 
I don't wanna fight no more (oh no)
I forgot what we were fighting for
And as lonely as its in my heart
Won't let me be apart from you
 
I don't wanna have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So, I'm hoping we can start tonight (can we start)
Cause i don't wanna fight, no more
 
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
And as lonely as its in my heart
Won't let me be apart from you
 
I don't wanna have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So, I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I dont wanna fight, no more
 
Its a lie, without you, without you

Walls Of Jericho - No Saving Me Lyrics

Walls Of Jericho - No Saving Me Video

Inside these broken lines a disruption of our lives
Insanity kicks in and all I see is another dead end
So close your eyes and escape from what you hide
 
How long will I take to bleed, there's no saving me
How far will you go to hold on
 
I'm better off cutting my own throat, in hope for once that you might hear me
I know I can at least count on the mess never judging me
I'm breaking out from all I've come to be
 
Alone I've gone through hell and back to try to fell
And there is no saving me...

Usher - Good Ol' Ghetto Lyrics

Usher - Good Ol' Ghetto Video

Yeah let me holla at you real quick
I'mma bring y'al back to the good ol' good ol days
Ya feel me?
Some of that...
 
Good ol, good ol, good old ghetto, good ol
Good ol, good ol ghetto
Good ol, good ol ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Good ol...heh
 
I told my man I'm having a barbecue
So grab some folks and won't you slide right through
He brought this shorty that I used to know
It brought me back to when I was in school
She said Usher where have you been?
We used to kick it every now and then
Remember when I used to call your phone
Tell you come on cause my mother's gone
How about them times I had to throw
A rock at your window
To let you know to come downstairs
And open the door
And after that baby it was on fa'sure
 
Honey got my head spinnin' around for real
Cause I'm thinking 'bout how good you used to feel
And I got a girl now and I don't get down like this, huh
But I must admit I'm tempted and startin' to reminisce, cause
 
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
 
Now she's asking me to take her
On a tour of my house so we can catch up
For all the time lost since I blew up
And became the man that drops his pants
And every girl around the world is dying to love
Break the beat down
Let me tell you what I'm talking about
If you're not carefull it'll turn you out
It's that way she used to go
When you want it nice and slow
Even though you can't
The memory will make you want some mo'
She used to understand me
Touch me, hold me, taught me how to be a man
She used to kiss me all them things she used to show me
Damn I wish that I could do it again
 
Honey got my head spinnin' around for real
Cause I'm thinking 'bout how good you used to feel
But I got a girl now and yo she's right upstairs
But I must admit I'm tempted and startin' to not care, cause...
 
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
 
Never had somebody that's as bad
Somebody with a whole lot of body
That'll choose, make you wanna leave the one you with
Cause you know how good it is
Not a prissy, lil' missy baby, talk that slang
I used to love how she kissed me when she popped that thang
She was a friend of the fam
Hot without the glam, not
When I be trippin'
She didn't really give a damn, stop
It's what I need to do
Cause I know what's this is leading to
If I keep on thinkin' bout that back
I'mma be right back in it cause yo
 
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
