by Leonard Cohen
from the album Songs Of Love And Hate

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
It covered up my soul;
When I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold;
He does not ask for your company,
Not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,
You did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn what makes me kind;
The crumbs of love that you offer me,
They’re the crumbs I’ve left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
It’s just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you’ve gone away from me,
But I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
You don’t love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure,
It is your turn, beloved,
It is your flesh that I wear.

by Carlos Gardel
from the album N/A

Hoy un juramento mañana una traición
Amores de estudiantes flores de un día son
En unos labios ardientes dejar una promesa Apasionadamente.

Quiero calmar los enojos de aquellos claros ojos
Siempre mintiendo amor
Por un mirar que ruega perder la quietud
Mujercitas sonrientes que juran virtud.

Fantasmas del pasado perfumes de ayer
Que evocare doliente plateando mi sien
Es una boca loca la que hoy me provoca
Hay un collar de amores en mi juventud.

Bandadas de recuerdos de un tiempo
Querido lejano y florido que no olvidare
Hoy un juramento mañana una traición
Amores de estudiante flores de un día son.

by Lenny Kravitz
from the album Are You Gonna Go My Way

I was born long ago
I am the chosen I’m the one
I have come to save the day
And I won’t leave until I’m done
So that’s why you’ve got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I’m not paid I play this game
And I won’t stop until I’m done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know

I don’t know why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone
We must engage and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We’ve got to love and rub-a-dub
We’ve got to dance and be in love

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know

Are you gonna go my way ?
‘Cause baby I got to know, yeah

by Ghostface Killah
from the album Ironman

ft. Mary J. Blige, Poppa Wu

[Intro One: (some movie)]

What dey gives you blood?
Three months man
Whatchu doin in here anyway? You oughta be home with your momma
How old are you boy?
Thirteen
Thirteen? Damn, the bastards must be runnin outta niggaz to arrest

[Intro: Ghostface]

Yeah, ohh yeah, this goes out
to all the families that went through the struggle
Yeah, from the heart
It was from the heart, everything was real

[Mary J.]
All that I got is you
And I’m so thankful I made it through

[Verse One:]

Yo, dwellin in the past, flashbacks when I was young
Whoever thought that I’d have a baby girl and three sons
I’m goin through this difficult stage I find it hard to believe
Why my old Earth had so many seeds
But she’s an old woman, and due to me I respect that
I saw life for what it’s really worth and took a step back
Family ain’t family no more, we used to play ball
Eggs after school, eat grits cause we was poor
Grab the pliers for the channel, fix the hanger on the TV
Rockin each others pants to school wasn’t easy
We survived winters, snotty nosed with no coats
We kept it real, but the older brother still had jokes
Sadly, daddy left me at the age of six
I didn’t know nuttin but mommy neatly packed his shit
She cried, and grandma held the family down
I guess mommy wasn’t strong enough, she just went down
Check it, fifteen of us in a three bedroom apartment
Roaches everywhere, cousins and aunts was there
Four in the bed, two at the foot, two at the head
I didn’t like to sleep with Jon-Jon he peed the bed
Seven o’clock, pluckin roaches out the cereal box
Some shared the same spoon, watchin saturday cartoons
Sugar water was our thing, every meal was no thrill
In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel
And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note
Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I’m dead broke"
So embarrasin I couldn’t stand to knock on they door
My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
Mommy where’s the toilet paper, use the newspaper
Look Ms. Rose gave us a couch, she’s the neighbor
Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats
Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me
But I remember this, mom’s would lick her finger tips
To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit
Case worker had her runnin back to face to face
I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place
Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky
And ask myself was I meant to be here… why?
Yeah, yo

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

All that I got is you
And I’m so thankful I made it through
[repeat 4X]

Word up mommy, I love you
Word up
It was all you, word, you brought me in like this

[Verse Two: Mary J. Blige, Poppa Wu]

I sit and think about
All the times we did without, yeah
I always said I woudn’t cry
When I saw tears in your eyes
I understand that daddy’s not here now
But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah
All things that I did from this to them
Oh from drugs to being there
Being down and out and I love you always

Yeah, you say
You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and star
And them planets, that exist in my space
Like man woman and child
You understand?
We got to keep it real, and what reality and reality will keep it real with us
I remember them good ol days
Because see, that’s the child I was
What made me the man I am today
See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh
You’re never gonna make it where you’re goin, aheh
Because you lost the reality of yourself
So take one stroll through your mind
And see what you will find
And you’ll see a whole universe all over again
and again and again and again and again
Heheheh, yeah heheheheh ahaheheheh

by Gavin Rossdale
from the album N/A

You don’t feel the pain

Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We’re hooked again

Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Such pretty sight

Adrenaline keeps me in the game
Adrenaline you don’t even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you’re going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(You don’t feel the pain)

Sail through an empty night
It’s only you and I who understand
There is no plan

Get closer to the thrill
Only time will kill
What’s in your eyes
Is so alive

Adrenaline keeps me in the game
Adrenaline you don’t even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you’re going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

Run through the speed of sound
Every thing slows you down
And all color that surrounds you
Are bleeding to the walls
All the things you really need
Just wait to find the speed
Then you will achieve
Escape velocity

Too much is not enough
Nobody gave it up
I’m not the kind
To lay down and die

Adrenaline
keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
you don’t even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you’re going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

Adrenaline
Screaming out your name
Adrenaline
you don’t even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you’re going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

(Adrenaline)

You don’t even feel the pain
You don’t even feel the pain
I’m going to extremes
There is nothing in between
You don’t even feel the pain
You don’t even feel the pain
You don’t even feel the pain
You don’t even feel the pain

by Snoop Dogg
from the album Doggystyle

Intro:

You’re back now at the jack-off hour this is DJ, Eazy Dick
On W-Balls, right now, somethin new, by Snoop Doggy Dogg
And this one goes out to the ladies, from all the guys
A big bow wow wow, cuz we gonna make it a little mystery
here tonight, this is DJ Eazy Dick, on the station that
slaps you across your fat ass, with a fat dick

Verse One: Nate Dogg

When I met you last night baby
Before you opened up your gap
I had respect for ya lady
But now I take it all back
Cause you gave me all your pussy
And ya even licked my balls
Leave your number on the cabinet
And I promise baby, I’ll give ya a call
Next time I’m feelin kinda horny
You can come on over, and I’ll break you off
And if you can’t fuck, that day, baby
Just lay back, and open your mouth
Cause I have never
met a girl
That I love
in the whole wide world

Verse Two: Kurupt

Well, if Kurupt gave a fuck about a bitch I’d always be broke
I’d never have no motherfuckin indo to smoke
I gets loced and looney, bitch you can’t Do Me
Do we like BBD, you hoochie groupie?
I have no love for hoes
That’s somethin I learned in the pound
so how the fuck am I supposed
to pay this hoe, just to lay this hoe
I know the pussy’s mines, I’ma fuck a couple more times
And then I’m through with it, there’s nothing else to do with it
Pass it to the homie, now you hit it
Cause she ain’t nuthin but a bitch to me
And y’all know, that bitches ain’t shit to me
i gives a fuck, why don’t y’all pay attention
Approach it with a different proposition, I’m Kurupt
Hoe you’ll never be my only one, trick ass beeeitch!

Chorus: (repeat 4X)

It ain’t no fun, if the homies can’t have none

Verse Three: Snoop Doggy Dogg

Guess who back in the motherfuckin house
With a fat dick for your motherfuckin mouth
Hoes recognize, niggaz do too
Cuz when bitches get skanless and pull a voodoo
What you gon do? You really don’t know
So I’d advise you not to trust that hoe
Silly of me to fall in love with a bitch
Knowin damn well, I’m too caught up with my grip
Now as the sun rotates and my game grows bigger
How many bitches wanna fuck this nigga named Snoop
Doggy, I’m all the above
I’m too swift on my toes to get caught up with you hoes
But see, it ain’t no fun, if my homies can’t get a taste of it
Cause you know I don’t love em

Verse Four: Warren G

Whoa!
Hey, now ya know, inhale, exhale with my flow
One for the money, two for the btiches
Three to get ready, and four to hit the switches
In my Chevy, six-fo’ Rad to be exact
With bitches on my side, and bitches on back
So back up bitch cuz i’m strugglin, so get
off your knees and then start jugglin
these motherfuckin nuts in your mouth
It’s me, Warren G the nigga with the clout
Whoo!

Chorus

by Lil’ Kim
from the album Notorious K.I.M.

[Lil' Kim]
.. My Aunt Dot
left a glock and some blood on my sheets
Told me clean the shit up, then she hit the streets
Even though I’m her niece, she copped me a piece
Wack-ass caliber, nickel-plated with the silencer
What? She don’t know I like my guns pretty?
Like my boy Castor Troy with the twin-glizzies
I heard a knock at the door {*knock knock knock knock knock*}
To my surprise I saw these two familiar eyes
Who are you?

[Lil' Shanice]
Whattup? I’m Shanice, don’t remember me?

[Lil' Kim]
She called me by my government name, Kimberly
Who sent you?

[Lil' Shanice]
My mom sent me; her name is Dottie
She packed a note in my knapsack along with a shottie

[Lil' Kim]
Hmmph, she was cute; and mad fly
She had the Prada knapsack, with the hat to match
Bavari hiking boots, with the mink bubblegoose
and I could see she was admiring my Minski suit
Then she handed me the note

[Lil' Shanice]
Here – read this

[Lil' Kim]
I just stared her up and down
cause I couldn’t believe this – then I opened it
It said, "Bitches is out to get you;
your so-called friends, put a bomb in your Benz.
I’m on a mission now to do some harm to your friends.
They know where you live, so evacuate the crib.
And oh, the little girl, that’s your cousin Shanice.
Since I can’t be with her, I need you to babysit her.
Besides; she looks up to you – you’re her idol -
and tomorrow is her first violin recital,
and she would be more than happy if you could take her.
Peace, my number’s on the back of the paper, hit me later."
Damn.. what went wrong?
Can’t we all just get along, and make hit songs?
Bitches all up in my ass like a thong
If this was a show, y’all hoes would get "gonged"
Cause if it’s on, then it’s on, bring it on
What the fuck you waitin for? C’mon, let’s get it on
What? What’s takin you so long? I got plans for the future
to bring back your head like Medusa

[Chorus: Lil' Kim (repeat 2X)]

Girls be actin stink, and mad funny
Y’all bitches bleed like me, on the monthly
Can’t stand the pain then pop a "Humphrey"
I know it hurts.. (I’m killin y’all)

[Lil' Kim]
Uhhh, we in the Range in this fucked up weather
It’s snowin and I’m tryin to put the whole shit together
How Laverne, she always wanted to be like me
and dress like me, and look like me
and Nicole, it’s like she lived in my house
Askin me for money, day in – day out
And last but not least the grimiest one Tayesha
She planned it all, come to find out her name is Keisha
C’mon Shanice I’m takin you to my house in L. Conn.
(I wanna go with you!) Uhh, be quiet, and we’ll get along fine

[Lil' Shanice]
C’mon please, I wanna be just like you
600 Mercedes, and 380’s in my doll babies
Crazy baguettes in my barettes; and,
H-class rocks inside my baby G shop
Fuck Barney and Lambchops; I don’t love them hoes!
But anything goes when it comes to bankrolls
Diamonds on my toes, X-and-O’s
Versace hottie in designer clothes
Scoop Lil’ Nique and Jus, then take ‘em to Toys’R'Us
Make em spend they cheese then kick ‘em out and take the bus
I’m the S-the-H-the-A-the-N-the-I-the-C-the-E
but all my friends call me Miss Little Queen Bee
What what? I like the green, know what I mean?
Ever seen The Professional? (uh-huh) Well I come cleaner

[Lil' Kim]
You know what? I like you; little big person
but rule number one – no cursin
Anyway, what you know about that?
You too young for that, when I was your age
I woulda got hung for that
Then I picked up the phone, to call my Aunt Dot
so she could fill me in a little more about the plot
Hmm.. nine-one-seven, eight-five-eight, two-one-two-two
"Hello?" Yo, what’s the deal?
Why these bitches buggin out;
I mean, what’s this all about?
"See it’s sorta like what Tonya Harding did to Nancy
They don’t want you to win no more
Soul Train they don’t want you to attend no more
And I guess that’s why, they ain’t your friends no more
The other day, when I was comin out the grocery store
I saw the bitch Nicole in front of the salon next door"
For real? "Yup, then I choked the bitch out
At least one to the heart, tied up her hands and feet
Through her in my backseat,
then I dumped her on a dead-end street
The other two? Yeah they still linger
But don’t you lift a finger, I’ma get ‘em
so just pray I come home
and when we hang up, get rid of your phone"
Whoo! When Aunt Dot comes, oh brother
It’s like five Bloody Mary’s, one after another
Hmmph, she have you stressed, no wearin white, no sex
And when she get vexed, you guess what happens next
Cause them other two girls, that’s still on the menu
is the reason why the story is to be continued..

[Chorus]

by Lisa Loeb
from the album Tails

i want to be by myself, sometimes i do.
i don’t want to be left behind, but sometimes i’m left by you.

i press my tongue to the top of my mouth,
’cause my jaw, it was tired with the thinking.
i stretched my toes to the end of the couch,
’cause my back, it was aching from sleeping.

so what is this weather, and what is this darkness,
and why do i feel so alone?
when will it snow, it’s been raining for hours,
and why do i feel so alone?

and when i’m left at home, when you’re with someone else i’m all alone.

you do not cheat me of my childhood.
you bring me blankets for the walls of my forts.
there is no anger with the eyebrow raised.
when you do the fantastic i am amazed.

so what is this weather, and what is this darkness,
and why do i feel so alone?
when will it snow, it’s been raining for hours,
and why do i feel so alone?

you were leaving some bar, and you’re coming downtown,
you’re not ripping out stitches, but you want me around.
just to call you my love, just to call you my love.

you are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me.
scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright.
you stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder,
and wait.

and when i’m left at home, i’m all alone.
but i’d rather be alone with you.

so what is this weather, and what is this darkness,
and why do i feel so alone?
when will it snow, it’s been raining for hours,
why do i feel so alone?
