[Verse]
D A
When the days are cold And the cards all fold
Bm G
And the saints we see Are all made of gold
D A
When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail
Bm G
Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale
[Pre-chorus]
D
I want to hide the truth
A
I want to shelter you
Bm
But with the beast inside
G
There's nowhere we can hide
D
No matter what we breed
A
We still are made of greed
Bm
This is my kingdom come
G
This is my kingdom come
[Chorus]
D
When you feel my heat
A
Look into my eyes
Bm
It's where my demons hide
G
It's where my demons hide
D
Don't get too close
A
It's dark inside
Bm
It's where my demons hide
G
It's where my demons hide
[Verse]
D A
When the curtain's call Is the last of all
Bm G
When the lights fade out All the sinners crawl
D A
So they dug your grave And the masquerade
Bm G
Will come calling out At the mess you made
[Pre-chorus]
D
Don't want to let you down
A
But I am hell bound
Bm
Though this is all for you
G
Don't want to hide the truth
D
No matter what we breed
A
We still are made of greed
Bm
This is my kingdom come
G
This is my kingdom come
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
D
They say it's what you make
A
I say it's up to fate
Bm
It's woven in my soul
G
I need to let you go
D
Your eyes, they shine so bright
A
I want to save their light
Bm
I can't escape this now
G
Unless you show me how

I ain't wearing no high heels/ I ain't doing my nails
You can put that mascara /Back on the self
Chorus:

‘Cause I tell me I'm pretty / Each and every single day

in the fact that I decide / Who I want
Oooh, / This must be your lucky day!
I'm way too pretty to be straight! And just as sexy in the morning...
I know I'm hot / I see when I take my clothes off / I look in the mirror and I say to myself
This don't belong to nobody else / This don't belong to no one but me
I got everything I need / Yeah, I'm already BEAUTIFUL!

Verse 1: And I know she'll be the death of me

But at least, we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know

She told me, "Don't worry no more"
We both know we can't go without it

But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

Chorus:
[Verse 1] Bm G D A/C# x4
Another head hangs lowly,
child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence,
who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
in your head, in your head, they are crying
[Chorus 1]
In your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
[Verse 2]
Another mother's breaking
heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence,
we must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they're dying
Chorus:

(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all.
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
If you close your eyes
Middle 8 is the same as verse
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all,
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Lyrics-
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
Bm A G A
'Cause I am just a girl, little ol' me
Bm A G A
Don't let me out of your sight
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
Bm A G A
So don't let me have any rights
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Bm A
'Cause I am just a girl
G A
I'd rather not be
Bm A
'Cause they won't let me drive
G A
Late at night
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Bm A
'Cause they all sit and stare
G A
With their eyes
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Take a good look at me
Bm A G A
Just your typical prototype
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Bm-A-G-A thing 4 times>
G C (G and C muted)
Oh...I am making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Bm
Your rule of thumb
A G A
Makes me worry some
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
Bm
What I've succumbed to
A G A
Is making me numb
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, my apologies
Bm A G A
What I've become is so burdensome
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Bm A G A
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
G C (G's and C's muted throughout)
Oh...I've had it up to!
G C
Oh...I've had it up to!
G C Bm
Oh...I've had it up to here!
(slow down on the last G and let the final Bm ring out)

E A7
It ain't my fault, so don't blame me
E B
I swear I just came here to unwind and have one drink
E A7
The way it looks ain't what you think
E B | E
This Cabernet has a way of vanishing on me
[Chorus]
E A
There's a hole in the bottle leaking all this wine
E B7
It's already empty and it ain't even supper time
E
Honey, no, I don't miss him
A
In fact, it slipped my mind
E B7 | E
There's a hole in the bottle of wine
Verse 2]
E A7
I keep my cool, play by all the rules
E B
I swear ten minutes ago that bottle was full
E A7
I won't cry about love gone wrong
E B
'Cause tears would water down this ruby red I'm sipping on
Chorus:
I went and got a new one
'Cause the other one was broken
Now this one's halfway gone
And it's barely even open
Chorus
You may ask me where it's goin'
But I can't even find
The hole in the bottle of wine
Verse 1: Am F C G (Original Key Bm G D A )
I took an arrow to the heart /
I never kissed a mouth that tastes like yours
Strawberries and somethin' more /
Ooh yeah, I want it all
Lipstick on my guitar (ooh) /
Fill up the engine, we can drive real far
Go dancin' underneath the stars /
Ooh yeah, I want it allMm, you got me feelin' like
Pre:
I wanna be that guy, I wanna kiss your eyes /
I wanna drink that smile, I wanna feel like I'm /
Like my soul's on fire, I wanna stay up all day and all night /
Yeah, you got me singin' like
Chorus:
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance 'til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back
Verse 2:
Into the car / On the backseat in the moonlit dark
Wrap me up between your legs and arms /
Ooh, I can't get enough
You know you could tear me apart (ooh) /
Put me back together and take my heart
I never thought that I could love this hard /
Ooh, I can't get enough
Mm, you got me feeling like
Pre:
Chorus:
Bridge:
Baby, you burn so hot
You make me shiver with the fire you got
This thing we started, I don't want it to stop
You know you make me shiver-er-er

nothing compares 2 U.
It's been so lonely without U here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they only remind me of U.
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me guess what he told me
he said- girl U better try to have fun no matter what U do
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.
All the flowers that U planted mama
in the back yard
all died when U went away
I know that living with U baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing 2 give U another try
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.

And did you have to pay the fine

Verse 1: Am D G Em
You're all alone at a party, you wanna dance with somebody
But you ain't got a clue how to ask
You and your girl had a fight and now she's sayin' goodbye
She ran upstairs and packed her bags
[Pre-Chorus]
It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation /
Ain't gotta listen to me, but all I'm sayin'
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain, it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less grey
Oh, you could be lonely or heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
There ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Verse 2:
You're on a lake an you're fishing It's hot and all that you're getting
is a little nibble here and there
You're sitting watching your team losing that championship ring
and it's feeling like life ain't fair
Pre Chorus:
It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta save it for a special occasion
Last Chorus:
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain, it can't wash away, no
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less grey
Oh, you could be lonely heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Am D
Turn that frown into a smile real quick (so quick)
Bm7 E7
It might take one or it might take six
Am D
Drink it down, it'll do the trick

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix

I've got the power
I've got the power
Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
Front to back, in this thing called rap
Dinging like a cymbal, rhyme devil on the heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind, day and night all the time
7-14, wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
Quality I possess, and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power

And I'll write the words you love
What I can't say in a letter
Will just have to wait till I get home
There's not much time to tell you
Half the things I should
Only that I'm so glad I fell in love with you
And I'd do it again if I could

I'm getting ready to face you,
Can call me obsessed.

Em Bm
If I wrote you a symphony,
Bm Am
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do?)
Em Bm
If I told you you were beautiful
Bm Am
Would you date me on the regular (tell me, would you?)
Em Bm
Well, baby I've been around the world
Bm Am
But I ain't seen myself another girl (like you)
Em Bm
This ring here represents my heart
Bm Am
But there's just one thing I need from you (say I do)
[Chorus-]
Yeah, because
Em
I can see us holding hands
Bm
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
Bm
I can see us on the countryside
Am
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
Em Bm
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Bm
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
Am Em
See, all I want you to do is be my love
Bm
(So don't give away) My love

(So don't give away) My love
Am Em Bm
(So don't give away) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
Bm Am
My love
Em Bm Bm Em
My love
Now, if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile with every word I wrote (what would you do?)
Would that make you want to change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team (tell me, would you?)
See, what's the point of waiting anymore?
Cause girl I've never been more sure (that baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you've been waiting for (just say I do)
[Chorus-]
Yeah, because
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
See, all I want you to do is be my love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
Ooooh, girl
My love
My love
[T.I.'s rap-]
Shorty, cool as a fan
On the new once again
But, still has fan from Peru to Japan
Listen baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan
If you got a man, try to lose him if you can
Cause your girls real wild through your hands up high
When they wanna come kick it wit a stand up guy
You don't really wanna let the chance go by
Because you ain't been seen wit a man so fly
Friend so fly i can go fly
Private, cause I handle mine
B.I. they call me candle guy, simply because I am on fire
I hate to have to cancel my vacation so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gonna try
You don't come, I ain't gonna die
Hold up, what you mean, you can't go why?
Me and you boyfriend we ain't no tie
You say you wanna kick it with an ace so high
Baby, you decide that I ain't your guy
Ain't gon lie ,Me in your space
But forget your face, I swear I will
Same mark, same bullet anywhere I chill
Just bring wit me a pair, I will
[Chorus-]
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
See, all I want you to do is be my love
(Love) My love
(Love) My love
(Love) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
(Love) My love
(Love) My love
(Love) Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love
Ooooh, girl
My love
My love

INTRO- F#m C#m F#m C#m D E
(N.C.)
Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
G A Bm C#m
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS-
F#m C#m
Where is my John Wayne
F#m C#m
Where is my prairie son
F#m C#m
Where is my happy ending
D E
Where have all the Cowboys gone
REPEAT INTRO
(N.C.)
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
G A Bm C#m
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
REPEAT CHORUS
G Bm
I am wearing my new dress tonight
F#m C#m
But you don't even notice me
D E
Say our goodbyes (3 times)
(N.C.)
We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
G A Bm C#m
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
REPEAT CHORUS
F#m C#m
Where is my Marlboro Man
F#m C#m
Where is his shiny gun
F#m C#m
Where is my lonely ranger
D E
Where have all the cowboys gone
It goes in the Chords-F C Dm Bb, all the way through
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
C
Father, Father, Father help us
Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
C
Father, Father, Father help us
Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' in the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
C
Father, Father, Father help us
Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

Listen to the song for rhythm and the layout of the song. Ive tried to tab out the
as best as i could and hope its clear enough to understand.
Lyrics-
said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
let's rock, you dont stop
rock the riddle that will make your body rock
well so far you've heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank
come on, hank, sing that song
check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a
and the rest is f-l-y
ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix
and these reasons i'll tell ya why
ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a T
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars
that definitely ain't the wack
i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker

because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike till you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntable
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked some vicious rhymes like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere

you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i can't fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a hell of a crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like
i say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just ain't no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move
i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and don't say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mc's try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a go word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the suker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall
a lets rock yall ya don't stop

That's deep inside, must be purified

Imagine if the life
That you thought you shared wasn't really there.
It was made up in your mind,
Could be anyone, anywhere,
'Cause you'd been living in a world of your own design, undermined,
In another place, other space in time.
As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear,
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
And wherever you are, land on another star!
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
You better get real, real, real and realize that the situation's going nowhere.
Because you act so tough I've totally lost control.
So please try to understand that if I could I'd call and I would be there.
And if I didn't hurt so much you know I'd give you it all.
You know I'd give you it all.
Imagine if the friend that you thought you knew wasn't really true!
It just existed in your head, the reflection used wasn't you,
Completely unaware could be anywhere, any time,
'Cause there was shift in the paradigm.
As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear,
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
And wherever you are, land on another star!
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
You better get real, real, real and realize that the situation's going nowhere.
Because you act so tough I've totally lost control.
So please try to understand that if I could I'd call and I would be there.
And if I didn't hurt so much you know I'd give you it all.
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.

A E Bm D
Baby please, please, please believe me
I don't want you to go, I'm feeling you way more than you know
Cause you, you, you intrigue me
Something I gotta say, without pushing you away
So how do I express, my life is such a mess
If only you knew, if only I could confess
to you, you stole my heart, so why is this so hard
You caught me off-guard, my love is who you are, baby you still are
Tell me why when I tell you how I feel inside,
I feel like I'm doing something wrong
Maybe it's cause of where you are, so near but yet so very far
So come back to where you belong
We've all made mistakes but live and learn just take
Your turn baby return to me
Wasting time with you is all that I want to
I'm dropping all these clues, why can't you see?
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love
End of story
I, I, I, I wish you would
Think of what you've done is this what you really want
Cause she she she she is no good, not good enough for you
Look at what she's already put you through
Tell me what love really is does it even exist
After the months we've missed, you're still first on my list
I know that this could work, I know we both deserve
I love you more than her, our love is for ever, baby forever
I know you say you need a break so here I will patiently wait
till the day that you come home
Cause I can see us happily, I'll give you all the time you need
I'll give you anything you want
We are both in love so much sometimes it hurts,
I know you feel the way I do
So I will give you time baby, I will let this ride
Cause soon I know you'll realize
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love

Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
Cause I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like to know what love feels like,
Cause with you

We've known each other for so long

And if you ask me how I'm feeling

Don't tell me you're too blind to see
[Chorus]

Never gonna give you up
Fm A#m
Never gonna let you down
F# G# F A#m
Never gonna run around and desert you
