If you need somebody, call my name

If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

Believe in him, and believe in me

Together we will fly away in a cloud of green

To your beautiful destiny

I realized I finally had a family

So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me,
I told her, Let's go! Let's blow this lame factory!
She said, What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want
Cuz you some kind of star...
No, I'm a comet, I
Just want you woman, hey
If I were you it would be me that I'd go home with, 3
The one and only
One thang you ain't considered,
I heard you when you told your girl, Oooh, he can get it...
Admit it!
You did it!
Let's hop a cab, and split it!
I'm kiddin'!
We both goin' to where you livin'!
Ha! I got you gigglin' like a piglet!
Oh, that's the ticket!
I hope you more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens.
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it,
I'm just style-freein',
Freestylin' which I seldom do,
This is what I'm tellin' you,
To the bed I'm nailin' you,
Like I've been in jail for two,
Years and then they let me loose...
give me the green light
give me just one night
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
we could go all night
give me the green light
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now

What`s love but a second hand emotion
What`s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That i`m acting confused
When you`re close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I`ve read it someplace
I`ve got cause to be
There`s a name for it
There`s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

And when you're out there without careYeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enoughI just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly
Verse 2:
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Chorus:
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
Verse 3:
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
And all I remember is thinking I want to be like them
Ever since I was little Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done
Chorus:
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

My friend. I'll say it clear,

I'll stay my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a live that's full.

I traveled each and every highway,

And more, much more than this, I did it m…………….y way.

Regrets, I've had a few,

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it m___y way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it m___y way!

BMaj7
But now your grown up
Emaj7
So fly its like a blessing but you can't have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Emin
Without you being insecure

The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
Emaj7
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
Emin
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listening

But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin'

Verse 1
D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
C G
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
D C
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
G
No postcode envy
Chorus
D
But every song's like- gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
Verse 2
D
My friends and I we've cracked the code

For you to be gone, Cause I know,
Gm Dm
About her, and I wonder
C Bb
How I bought all the lies
Gm Dm
That said that you would treat me right,
C Bb
But you was just a waste of time.
Verse 2- (Main Riff on Acoustic)
Tell me why you're lookin' so confused,
When I'm the one who didn't know the truth.
How could you ever be so cold?
To go behind my back and call my friend,
Boy you must've gone and bumped your head,
Because you left her number on your phone.
(So now after all is said and done,)
Maybe I'm the one to blame, but..
(To think that you could be the one,)
But it didn't work out that way.
Chorus- (Add Chords on Electric)

We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line

This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying

We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing until it's gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,

still I can't escape the ghost of you

What is happened to it all?

gone away

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, runaway
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here beside the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk
(Just blowing away)
And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
every world is my world

F
Looking back at the beginning of this
Am
And how life was
F
Just you and me and love and all of our friends
Am
Living life like an ocean
F
Now the currents slowly pulling me down
Am
It's getting harder to breath
F
It won't be too long and I'll be going under
Am
Can you save me from this
Am F
Cause It's not my time,
C
I'm not going
G G
There's a fear in me It's not showing
F
This could be the end of me
C G
And everything I know
F Am
Oh, I won't go
F
I look ahead to all the plans that we made
Am
And the dreams that we had
F
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Am
Oh, but I'm taking them back
F
All this time I've just been to blind to understand
Am
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live
Is not what we have, it's what we believe
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
Now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, I won't go
I won't go
It might be more than you believe
It might be something you can't see
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a will in me
Now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
I won't go
There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you can see
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a will in me
Now I know it
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
I won't go
I won't go!
No I wooooon't gooooo down!

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

Intro-
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah
Verse 1-
Yeah, uh
A fresh cool young Lu'
Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
YOU! The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe
Too much of a new comer and too un-cool
Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it well
Tho I need holiday like lady who sung Blue
Go back, whatever you did you undo
Heavy as heaven
The devil on me, two ton's too
Chorus-
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's is here
And the microphone's
And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah
Verse 2-
And ya' better wear ya' shaaades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the staaage
Down to the basement pass the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through shinin', nearly miss the airliners
Magnified times five, 'less its pointed at the ryhmer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaaaze
Now that's important to say
'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to faaade
We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to staaay
Like the governor called and he told him to waaait
Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his caaage
The audience ain't phased
And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they've paid
'Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim
[Chorus]
Verse 3-
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting' along
And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown, M&Ms are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say You need to go and see that
And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
Like, ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha, ha

Days like this I want to drive away

I hope the following will assist!
OK. The numbers on the strings should relate to which finger to use -
't' is thumb, 1,2,3 are 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers respectively!
So the D chord (xx0232) picked like this
E-------------------|
B-----2-------2-----|
G---1---1---1---1---|
D-t-------t---------|t...... etc
A-------------------|
E-------------------|
The A chord (x02220) like this! nb finger '3' can be left out or played simultaneously with '2'!
E---------------------------|
B-------3-----------3-------|
G-----2---2-------2---2-----|
D---1-------1---1-------1---|
A-t-----------t-------------|t....etc
E---------------------------|
...and so on for the other chords.

So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
'Cause see when I was younger I would say
Chorus- G-F#-F-Em
When I grow up I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star I wanna be in movies
When I grow up I wanna see the world
drive nice cars I wanna have groupies
When I grow up be on tv
people know me be on magazines
When I grow up Fresh and clean number
one chick when I step out on the scene
Post Chorus- G-F#-F-Em
But be careful
what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it
(Repeat)
Verse 2- G-F#-F-Em
They used to tell
me I was silly
Until I popped up

Who knew singing songs would
get me this far (lala la, la la)
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus and Post Chorus)

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
He spends his life, walking the streets of New York City.

Change Is On Its Way
Verse 1: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Oh yes a change is on it's way
For those who pray I dare say pray
For the dawning of the day is standing tall
A long time coming it has been
A long time running bringing in
An ounce of hope for answers to it all
Chorus: Em7 | A7 | D A | G 2X G
So I say hey, give a little thanks
Motivate your fellow man and rid yourself of hate
Don't you wait, if you need a break then break
Then get back in to living for today's a brand new day
Verse 2: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Well I heard this story once of twice
But never thought to take the time
To realize the power each man holds
And now I'm claiming I believe
In individuality
For the path you choose is yours and yours alone
Chorus-
Bridge: Bm | C#dim F#7 | Bm A | G 2X A7
And who's to say,
a boy must have a mother and a father
If a single one could raise him twice as good
Because with guidance and good morals,
higher goal, forgiving more and more,
That same boy would be the best man that he could

I had to come and get it straight from you.

They said you where leaving,

someone sweapt you heart away.

From that look on your face I say it's true.

So tell me all about it, tell me about the plans your making.

Tell me one thing more before I go-

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you.

How am I supposed to live without you,

when all that I've been living for is gone.
[Verse 2]
To tired for crying, didn't come her to break down.
It's just a dream of mine that's coming to an end.
And how can I play now, when I build my world around
the hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends.
I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming.
Even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town
/ Am - - AmAm7 / -
{Refrain}
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
/ E - - - / -
Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home
{Refrain}
...This ain't no mudd club, or CBGB...
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
{As refrain}
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
I don't know what I look like
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive
C#m E B F#
I've had a little bit too much, much
C#m E B F#
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by

How does he twist the dance? Can't find a drink, oh man

C
Love was kind, for a time
G C
Now just aches, and it makes me blind
C
This mirrors holds my eyes too bright
G C
That I can't see the others in my life
C
We too young and heads too strong
G C
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
C
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
G C
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.
[Chorus]
F C G C
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage
F C G C
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead

Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes

[Verse 1]
Am F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
Am F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Am F
Cries out My God they killed them all!
C F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For something that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell but one time
Am F C G
He could have been the champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 2]
Am F
Three bodies lyin’ there does Patty see
Am F
And another man named Bello, movin’ around mysteriously
Am F
I didn’t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
Am F
I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand
C F
I saw them leavin’, he says, and he stops
G C F
One of us had better call up the cops
Dm C
And so Patty calls the cops
Dm C Em
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
Am F C G
In the hot New Jersey night
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 3]
Am F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Am F
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm C
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
Dm C Em
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
Am F C G
’Less you wanna draw the heat
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 4]
Am F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
Am F
He said, I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
Am F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
C F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C F
Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead
Dm C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm C Em
And though this man could hardly see
Am F C G
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 5]
Am F
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Am F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Am F
Says, Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!
C F
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For somethin’ that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 6]
Am F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am F
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
Am F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
Am F
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
C F
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
G C F
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
Dm C
You think you’d like to play ball with the law?
Dm C Em
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?
Am F C G
Don’t forget that you are white
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 7]
Am F
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, I’m really not sure
Am F
Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break
Am F
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend Bello
Am F
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
C F
You’ll be doin’ society a favor
G C F
That sonofa is brave and gettin’ braver
Dm C
We want to put his ass in stir
Dm C Em
We want to pin this triple murder on him
Am F C G
He ain’t no Gentleman Jim
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 8]
Am F
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
Am F
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
Am F
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
Am F
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
C F
Up to some paradise
G C F
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
Dm C
And ride a horse along a trail
Dm C Em
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Am F C G
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 9]
Am F
All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
Am F
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
Am F
The judge made Rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
Am F
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
C F
And to the black folks he was just a crazy er
G C F
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Dm C
And though they could not produce the gun
Dm C Em
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
Am F C G
And the all-white jury agreed
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 10]
Am F
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Am F
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Am F
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Am F
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
C F
How can the life of such a man
G C F
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
Dm C
To see him obviously framed
Dm C Em
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Am F C G
Where justice is a game
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 11]
Am F
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Am F
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am F
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Am F
An innocent man in a living hell
C F
That’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
Dm C
And give him back the time he’s done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
