Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

Sat in the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle
And telling myself you're happier, aren't you?
(Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah)

Oh, ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
But ain't nobody need you like I do (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
I know that there's others that deserve you (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
But my darlin', I am still in love with you

But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

'Cause baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waitin' here for you
 
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home
 
Yeah, everyone's replaceable
But not me, though
You'll feel it deep down whenever you're alone
You're livin' a lie if you're sayin' I'm wrong
Hope you're at least real with yourself
I hope you know when karma comes 'round
Knockin' down on your door
She's comin' to collect 'cause karma won't forget


When you're all alone, when you're all alone
You'll know you were wrong
You're gonna feel it, you're gonna feel it
When you're all alone, when you're all alone
You'll know you were wrong
You're gonna feel it, you're gonna feel it
When you're all alone
 
Coming out to the light of day
We got many moons that are deep at play
So I keep an eye on the shadow's smile
To see what it has to say
You and I both know
Everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Spinning knot that is on my heart
It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark
You got sneak attacked from the zodiac
But I see your fire spark
Eat the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
Oh, what do you say?
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design and
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Stumble down to the parking lot
You got no time for the afterthought
They're like ice cream for an astronaut
Well that's me looking for we
Turn the corner and
Find the world at your command
Playing the hand
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Do you want this love of mine?
The darkness helps all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Do you want it all the time?
The darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Pick you up like a paperback
With the track record of a maniac
So I move it in and we unpack
It's the same as yesterday
Any way we roll
Everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
 
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,

Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,

The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,

Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.

Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this.

The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain.

An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know.

The Secret of the Hangman,
The smile on his lips.

The light of the Blind
You'll see,

The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening
You'll see.

She came to me with a serpents kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips.
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry.

So we lay in a black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place,
And I watched and I waited for the Dawn.

The light of the Blind
You'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening
You'll see.

Bind us all together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free.

No storm or heavy weather,
Will rock the boat you'll see.

The time has come to close your eyes,
And still the wind and rain.
For the one who will be King,

Is the watcher in the Ring.
It is You.
 
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
A change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, no, no
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
Yeah
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no, no
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
 
Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
But then I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say good night
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
 
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
… Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the thoughts of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies, yeah humor me and tell me lies
… And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
… But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
… Shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
… Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch", hey baby, let's keep in touch
… But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
… But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
… Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
… Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
… Oh I like coffee and I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
… But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
… Oh you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
 
If one day you don't recognize my voice
If one day you seems so hard to breath
I'll promise you to give my all
Oh, like you do from the day I start to see
Forever is a long time
But I keep my words that I say to you
Together we can go far
As long as you're with me
'Cause I will fall for you no matter what they say
I still love you, I still love you
You'll never be alone now look me in the eyes
I still love you, I still love you
'Till forever
 
Got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray, but man, they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah
Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know it's gonna find a way
Heaven
Whoa-whoa-oh
Heaven
Whoa-whoa-oh
Heaven
It's not too far away, have hope
Whoa-whoa-oh
Yeah
 
Don’t Go- Bring me the horizon
I was raised in the valley
There was shadows and death
Got out alive but with scars
I can't forget
This kid back in school
Subdued and shy
An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes
I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die
Took a boy to the forest
Slaughtered him with a scythe
Stamped on his face
An impression in the dirt
Do you think the silence
Makes a good man convert?
We all have our horrors
And our demons to fight
But how can I win when
I'm paralyzed?
They crawl up on my bed
Wrap their fingers round my throat
Is this what I get for
The choices that I made?
God forgive me for all my sins
God forgive me for everything
God forgive me for all my sins
God forgive me
God forgive me
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight
Don't go
Don't go
🖤If I let you in
You'd just want out
If I tell you the truth
You'd vie for a lie
If I spilt my guts
It would make a mess
We can't clean up
If you follow me
You will only get lost
If you try to get closer
We'll only lose touch🖤
Yes you already know too much
And you're not going anywhere
Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
Tell me that you love me 'cause I need you so much
Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight
 
I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah
You're brought into this world
But they say you're born in sin
Well at least they've given me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Able
Mister catch me if you can
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
But I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord, I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm a devil's son
Call me young gun
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord, I never drew first
But, I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm the young gun
Young gun, yea eee yea
Young gun
 
"Never Call Me"
(Jhene Aiko feat. Kurupt)

Oh boy, I'ma have to call them boys on you
Awe damn, awe damn, I'ma have to call that man on you
Something, something, something must be really wrong with you
Why can you just tell the fuckin' truth now?
Yes your mama did, she raised a fool, wow
What the **** did you learn in that school house?
To chasin' thrills, takin' pills in the hills, Slauson Hills, Overhills might get you killed
And I won't come 'round them parts no more
Do not run your mouth no more
I can't protect you no more
It's out of my hands for sure

You should've called me
Why you never call me?
Why you never call me?
Ohh, you should've called me
Why you never call me?
Wh you never call me?
Ohh..

Okay, now you wanna say all that I done to ya
You knew all along that I wasn't the one for you
So let's stop pretending like we were in love
We never shared anything but the drugs
We were both numb, never had anything real between us
We really must
Smoking that crazy ****, in my city talkin' crazy ****
But you ain't know I'm a crazy bitch
And tell your lawyer that I ain't paying ****
Maybe you should chill, really in your feels
My bros really in the field
Neighborhood is really real and they don't play that here
You shouldn't say that here
You should've made it clear, my dear
You should've called me

You should've called me
Why you never call me?
Why you never call me?
Ohh, you should've called me
Why you never call me?
Ohh..
You, you, you, you
You should've called me
You, you, you, you
Ohh, oh..
You, you, you, you
You should've called me
You, you, you, you

[Kurupt:]
Now hey sis, I'ma let you know like this
Hit me right back, this Kurupt, okay?
All these niggas with this bullshit, man, **** these niggas mayne
The 60's, we ain't worried bout none of these muthafuckin' bustas
Ya understand me? From Overhill to the fronts to the back mayne

Don't worry 'bout him callin' you and all the rest of that ****
You know what? It's his lost, ya know what I'm sayin'?

"Man Jhene trippin, man this buster ass nigga got her mind fucked up"
I'm like "No no Jhene"

This is Kurupt, Gotti
Aye, call me as soon as you get this, you hear me?
Don't make me call your mama now, I'll track you down
 
Another day in the city
Another dancer to the music
But lately, all the music sounds so strange
Well some songs have no meaning
And some songs try to hard
Tryin to say it all
And end up saying nothin
Well maybe the words ring true
What's right for them
Maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway
To Breakaway
Another day lost in livin
And another same old beginning
And knowing where and why we went wrong
Someone says I've changed
And someone says that I've remained
In the same place
For maybe just a little too long
 
dusting off a classic
​
i'm so tired of being here...
Suppressed by all my childish fears..

And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave..

'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone...

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light...
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind...

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams..
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me..

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
And you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone..
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
You still have all ....all of me
 
Standing here on my own
Yeah, the first step's the hardest
When you're walking into the unknown
It's been dark, and it's been cold
Had my head in the clouds
Never knowing what lies down below
Then you spoke your truth with no secrets
Told me, "use your heart while it's beating"
When you're right here beside me
There's nothing else I need
Your eyes keep me reminded
That nothing's out of reach
When you're with me
It feels like I'm finally free
Feels like I'm finally free
I didn't know
Didn't know what was real
Had to go to the edge
And the ground just to see how it feels
Then you spoke your truth with no secrets
Told me, "use your heart while it's beating"
When you're right here beside me
There's nothing else I need
Yeah, your eyes keep me reminded
That nothing's out of reach
When you're with me
It feels like I'm finally free
(Woo, woo)
Feels like I'm finally free
I used to spend my nights looking at the stars
Wondering how to get there, is it just too far?
I used to spend my nights looking at the stars
Wondering how to get there, is it just too far?
But when you're right here beside me
There's nothing else I need
Yeah, your eyes keep me reminded
That nothing's out of reach
It's easy to believe
When you're with me
It feels like I'm finally free
(Oh yeah)
It feels like I'm finally free
(Woo, woo)
It feels like I'm finally free
 
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby she wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I got to spend
I won't find my way home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby, she wrote me a letter
She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister don't you ever xxxx
My baby once more
Anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh ,the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter
Solo
She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister don't you ever xxxx
My baby once more
Anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh ,the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
 
Let this night invade my lungs
You're all I want to breathe
Right beside the lake, I burn for you
You burn for me

🔥♥️
 
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
 
Modern day love affair by Too close to touch

How can I say that you're worth it?
Tell me let your love right in
While you lie awake with him
Perfectly plead for my patience
Though you're caught up in the sheets
🖤I know sinners never sleep
Am I a fool for falling for this?
Put to the side like I don't exist
Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling🖤
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's been fun, now we're done
Miss you's and wanting you hear now
What a sick and twisted way
To keep both of us at bay
Truthfully ruthless and reckless
We ignore the warning signs
Buried in your twisted mind
Am I a fool for falling for this?
Put to the side like I don't exist
Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's been fun, now we're done
Am I a fool for falling for this?
Put to the side, like I don't exist
Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's fun, but we're done
So long, it's fun, but we're done
