from the album Welcome
Occasionally I feel like the walls around are closing in on me
Physically I feel sometimes I need seclusion to be free
The irony at last I see reality is my perception
And my personality is my reflection
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today
I need to be set free from the smiles that are scarring my skin sarcastically
And ?? seems to comfort and freeze in full around me mentally
The irony at last I see reality is my deception
And my personality is my deflection
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today
Can I make it?
I’ll try
Can I take it?
I’ll try
I’ve finally healed my wounds and healing the next thing and pouring out of me
The precious success becoming apparently a bigger part of me
I’m looking back at the things I cant remove the past
Ok with me
The future is brighter than I could imagine it to be…
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today
I must eliminate and change yesterday’s
Yesterday’s pains today

from the album Coast II Coast
Intro: Tash
("Yes yes y’all, and you don’t stop" – repeat 12X)
Hello
Let me tell ya about the Liks
See it *echoes* say it *echoes*
Ah, yo
Verse One: Tash
I walked into a store I stepped straight to the freezer
I grabbed some forty ounces and a few Bacardi Breezers
I threw em on the counter then I went to find some chips
I’m thinkin bout this bitch I’m bout to visit with the hips
I asked the counter person for the biggest box of Trojans
Cause when I be onthe pussy I cause nuclear explosions
He put them in my bad, totalled up my sums
He said, "That comes to thirteen dollars," but I didn’t have no ones
I gave him twenty, in walked some shorties
Eyes beemin red headed straight for the forties
Five foot three wannabe Tupac’s
They asked the man behind the counter for the Newport boxes
They stole some cans cause the man couldn’t see em
Cause he busy tryin to tell em next time he’ll ID em
One was starin at me, then suddenly it hit him
That’s that nigga from the Liks let’s crack the forties with him
They gave me daps they said I freak my raps
They said they homey got some flows and twist off the beer caps
Halfway finished, I asked em what their ages
Cause they lookin like, they barely out the puberty stages
Fifteen, sixteen, one was too embarrased
He said they started drinkin fuckin around and went to Terrace
It wasn’t long before the forties was gone
So as I turned around I told my young niggaz to stay strong
Because no matter how you scan it you’re the future of the planet
You don’t wanna be a rapper cause it’s drainin entertainin
too much strainin on your brain, I told em they don’t need it
They hit me with a card and said, "Call us if you wanna gt
weeded," yeah sixteen years old
Hangin out drinkin forties in the East Columbus cold
As they jumped onto they bikes in the knee-high snow
They all turned around and said, "You ain’t shit Rico!"
Chorus: J-Ro, Tash
Can I send this out once, for my niggaz smokin blunts
Twice, for my niggaz rollin dice
Three times, for my niggaz bust the rhymes
So they don’t do crimes to make it through the hard times
As we send it out once, for my niggaz smokin blunts
Twice, for my niggaz rollin dice
When the Liks is in the house we let you know like yo!
If you hit me with a forty black I hit you with a flow
Verse Two: J-Ro
It was a Friday night, house party goin on
At my homies house, from dusk til dawn
Blunts in the air plus kegs of brew
Some half naked-bitches gettin pushed in the pool
[In the corner was the DJ, gettin nice
Feelin that shit, off the Alehze and ice]
I only had one mic, now imagin
A gang of drunk MC’s who wanna start rappin
One grabbed the mic and held on too long
("…baby I’m on the mic, and I’m on the mic… *crowd boos*
When I’m on the mic [Pass the mic god damn nigga]
doin what I like, and when I’m on the mic…")
Push came to shove *bang* now he’s gone
That’s what happens when the liquor does your thinkin
So keep this in mind when you’re out there drinkin
Chorus: Tash, J-Ro
Outro: J-Ro, Tash
And I’m out, time to get busy
As we flow up out this piece
I ain’t even mad, I ain’t even mad
I ain’t even mad at y’all
It’s the Alkaholiks…
Yo yo, mic check one two one two
Transmittin live through the headphones, you know how we do it
low budget style
For all MC’s in the houe I know how you feel
I know you feelin the vibe right about now
Crackin the forty, sittin in the car, or at the club
bobbin your head to this album
But yo, we gonna give you, we gonna give you a second to catch wreck
Go ahead, get your freestyle on
and you don’t have to be twenty-one
rock that shit
by Tears For Fears
from the album Seeds Of Love
Money can’t change the way you feel
Smoke stains on your fingertips
Made for life is no big deal
When there’s something behind you that just doesn’t fit
And I can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
No, no, I just can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
It was always in
Smoke screens up at the break of day
Boy you must had a lonely night
And did your dreams reveal God’s plan?
Did heaven say you’re gonna make it allright
And I can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
No, no, I just can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
It was always in
Walk those streets
Paved with gold
You and I we are one and the same
We’ve got a whole lot of soul
Dance those steps
Of the ancient plague
You could sharpen knives on the famous lives
That were never saved
I just can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
No, no, I just can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
It was always in
I can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
No, no, I just can’t stop thinking
Always in the past
It was always in
by The Tragically Hip
from the album Trouble At The Henhouse
Lets go to the park
lets go watch’em floodin’
out there after dark,
don’t have to think of nothin’
and I love that for,
for the way I’m feeling
700 foot, 700 foot ceiling
Lets take it to the top
of the tobacco nation
we can aim the dish
for hardcore invitations
and I hate that for,
for the things I’m thinking
when the clouds are low,
700 and sinking
It’s part hard, hard to remember
it’s part hard to say
parts unknown, unknown forever
and those parts fade away
but leanings toward,
toward a full-stop’s
all I hear you say
One foot on the stump,
the other’s on the pulpit
700 foot, 700 foot pulpit
and I love that for,
for the way I’m feeling
700 foot, 700 foot ceiling
in our backyard, we can do
some floodin’
when it’s cold and dark, don’t
have to think or nothin’
by Trick Daddy
from the album Book of Thugs: Chapter A.K., Verse 47
[Trick Daddy]
‘Posed to be…
Land of the free
I don’t see how
Count me in
Uh
America
Oh
America
Ha-ha-ha
America (America)
Sweet land of liberty y’all
I’m doing this one for the struggle
And every bad doin’ brotha
Sista, daddy and mother
Who livin’ in the gutter
You want
Better cars
And a better heart
Another start
Yo’ own yard
And a place to park
You wanna
Trust ‘em ??
And a better li’ (life)
A bigger crib
And a home cooked meal
Every single night
He’ll feel with you
Goin’ through
But I coulda warned you
When its time to be a man
Do all you can
See other lands
And don’t be livin’ for the other man
Take time out and settle in
Be the better man
And close ? watch your friends
And then
You’ll understand
A lil’ better then
But on the other hand
You so god damn stubboran
And you be
Startin’ shit
And ever since you made president
We ain’t even seen you since
You need to (You need to)
Fill our schools
Rebuild our church and homes
Stop killin’ my own kind
And leave my Earth alone
And stop tappin’ my phone
And searchin’ my brone
And keep your personal feelings home
When you bandin’ my chrome
Do it for the
Weak and the strong
And to each his own
We do it for the main goal
So when all the heat is gone
[Chorus]
This game wasn’t told to me (Told to me)
It was sold to me (Sold to me)
And we are never free (No!)
No way
Not in America (Not America)
Not America (Not in America uh-uh)
Our country ’tis of thee (’tis of thee)
Land of Liberty (Liberty)
But that’ll never be (Never Be – NO!)
No way
Not in America (uh-uh Not in this America)
Not in America (No)
[Society]
You only got 2 bucks and give less than a fuck — then you a nigga
Got a nice home and a Lexus truck — you a nigga
World champions and you M.V.P — you a nigga
4 degrees and a Ph.D — still a nigga
You use your platinum ?? for ID’s — then you’s a nigga
If your skin is brown just like me — then you a nigga
Got a promotion and a FAT ass raise — you still a nigga
You from the islands and your peoples wasn’t slaves — you a nigga
No matter how much your ass get paid — you still a nigga
Shot by the cops at a traffic stop — cause you a nigga
That’s why I hold toast too
I sell bi-coastal
International
They inter-catching you with satellites in deep space
Now…Who invented niggaz in the first place?
And said America is the original birthplace?
Who gettin’ 10 – 20 – Life on they first case?
My niggaz
[Chorus]
[Trick Daddy]
I’m doin’ this one for the
Kids in the streets
Who ain’t missed a beat
Do it for the
Deaf and the blind
And those who don’t eat meat
Do it for all the
Children of the corn
And the unborn
Do it for the speedy trials
And all the lies you done sworn
How you gon’ keep the man
Old Mr. Crooked ass preachin’ man
When your whole congregation drivin’ a brand new Benz
And writing brand new sins
Lyin’ on a million men
And all my brothers, sisters, them daddys, and them doin’ time in the Penn
[Chorus repeated till end]
by The Stone Roses
from the album Garage Flower
I’ll show you the way
I can make it so so easy
Be meandering and lazy
There’s so much to be seen
It isn’t just a dream
And all I need is all I want
So don’t turn away
Help you get away
Tell you that your slowly sinking
Be meandering and lazy
There’s so much that I can’t see
It is and it isn’t just a dream
And all I need is all I want
So don’t turn away
All I need is all I want
Don’t find me a way
And all I need is all I want
Don’t no don’t turn away
All I need is all I want
Don’t don’t shy away
And all I need is all I want
Don’t no don’t turn away
All I need is all I want
You can’t buy me away
Do you see what I need?
So don’t turn away
Turn Away
by Theatre Of Tragedy
from the album Velvet Darkness They Fear
"Be my kin free fro varnal sin,
Bridle the thoughts of thy Master."
"There hath past away a glore fro the Earth;
A glore that in the hearts and minds of men,
Men dementéd – blindfoldéd by light,
Hourisheth as weed in their well-groom’d garths."
"Might I too was blindfoldéd ere,
"The quality of mercy and absolution,
Tho’ years have master’d me
Whence cometh such qualities?
A masque of this to fashion:
Build thyself a mirror in which
Seer blest, thou best philosopher!"
Solely wanton images of thy desire appear!"
"’Tis the Divine Comedy –
"’Tis the Divine Tragedy -
The fool and the mocking court;
The fool and the mocking court;
Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!
Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!
We hold the Earth fro Heaven away."
Make us guffaw at thy futile follies,
Yet for our blunders – Oh, in shame;
Earth beareth no balm for mistakes -
We hold the Earth fro Hell away."
"Believe? In a deily long dead? -
I would rather be a pagan suckléd in creeds outworn;
Whith faärtytales fill’d up in head;
Thoughts of the Book stillborn."
"Shadow of annoyance -
Ne’er come hither!
…And when He falleth, He falleth like Lucifer,
Ne’er to ascend again…"
[ Dialog from "And when He Falleth" ]
[Male Voice]
That cross you wear around your neck;
is it only a decoration, or are you a
true Christian believer?
[Female Voice]
Yes, I believe – truly
Then I want you to remove it at once!
- and never to wear it within this castle
again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my
dear? Her eyes are sown shut. Blinded temporarily
she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until
her will is submerged and she learns to serve -
as your God taught and blinded you with
crosses.
You had me take off my cross because it
offended….
It offended no-one. No – it simply appears
to me to be discourteous to… to wear
the symbol of a deity long dead.
My ancestors tried to find it. And to open
the door that seperates us from our Creator.
But you need no doors to find God.
If you believe….
Believe?! If you believe you are gullible.
Can you look around this world and believe
in the goodness of a god who rules it?
Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!
They rule this world.
There is also love and life and hope.
Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god
of love and life ever did exist… he is long
since dead. Someone… something rules in his
place.
by Tool
from the album Undertow
Get up and free yourself from yourself.
Locked up inside you,
like the calm beneath castles,
is a cavern of treasures that
no one has been to.
Let’s go digging.
Bring it out to take you back in.
You won’t do what you’d like to do.
Lay back and let me show you another way.
I’ll kill what you want me to,
take what’s left and eat it.
Take all or nothing.
Life’s just too short to push it away.
Take it all.
Take it all in.
All the way in.
Let it go.
Let it go in.
You won’t feel what you’d like to feel.
Lay back and let me show you another way.
If you knock me down I’ll come back running,
knock you down,
it won’t be long now
All the way in.
All the way.
Take it up higher.
4 degrees warmer.
Give in now
and let me in.
You’ll like this in
Don’t pull it out.
It brings us closer than
dying and cancer and crying.
Come on.
You can take it all.
Just like that.
by The Calling
from the album Camino Palmero
I’ve been thinking about you, my love
And all the crazy things that you put me through
Now I’m coming around, Throwing it back to you
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him
Could you taste me when you licked his skin
All the while I showered you with trust and promises
What I’m needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you
[Chorus:]
Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, Used me up
Spent my money, drove my car
I treated you like a shining star
But in my sky all burnt out you are
And I’ll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with
some other guy
‘Cause I know you’re gone end up all alone
So take these words, some good advice
All you’ve done gonna come back twice
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you
[Chorus]
What I’m needing now’s some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all that I had to give, but I could never reach you
[Chorus]
