Life Goes On - 2PAc

i am addicted!!

How many brothas fell victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace young nigga, there’s a Heaven for a ‘G’
be a lie, If I told ya that I never thought of death
my niggas, we tha last ones left
but life goes on…

[Verse One:]

As I bail through tha empty halls
breath stinkin’
in my draws
ring, ring, ring
quiet y’all
incoming call
plus this my homie from high school
he’s getting bye
It’s time to bury another brotha nobody cry
life as a baller
alchol and booty calls
we usta do them as adolecents
do you recall?
raised as G’s
loc’ed out and blazed the weed
get on tha roof
let’s get smoked out
and blaze with me
2 in tha morning
and we still high assed out
screamin’ ‘thug till I die’
before I passed out
but now that your gone
i’m in tha zone
thinkin’
‘I don’t wanna die all alone’
but now ya gone
and all I got left are stinkin’ memories
I love them niggas to death
i’m drinkin’ Hennessy
while tryin’ ta make it last
I drank a 5th for that ***
when you passed…
cause life goes on

[Chorus]

[Verse Two:]

Yeah nigga
I got tha word as hell
ya blew trial and tha judge gave you
25 with an L
time to prepare to do fed time
won’t see parole
imagine life as a convict
that’s getten’ old
plus with tha drama
we’re lookin out for your babies mama
taken risks, while keepin’ cheap tricks from gettin on her…
life in tha hood…
is all good for nobody
remember gamin’ on dumb hoties at chill parties
Me and you
No true a two
while scheming on hits
and gettin tricks
that maybe we can slide into
but now you burried
rest nigga
cause I ain’t worried
eyes bluried
sayin’ goodbye at the cemetary
tho’ memories fade
I got your name tated on my arm
so we both ball till’ my dying days
before I say goodbye
Kato and Mental rest in peace
Thug till I die

[Chorus]

[Verse Three:]

Bury me smilin’
with G’s in my pocket
have a party at my funeral
let every rapper rock it
let tha hoes that I usta know
from way before
kiss me from my head to my toe
give me a paper and a pen
so I can write about my life of sin
a couple bottles of Gin
incase I don’t get in
tell all my people i’m a Ridah
nobody cries when we die
we outlaws
let me ride
until I get free
I live my life in tha fast lane
got police chasen me
to my niggas from old blocks
from old crews
niggas that guided me through
back in tha old school
pour out some liquor
have a toast for tha homies
see we both gotta die
but ya chose to go before me
and brothas miss ya while your gone
you left your nigga on his own
how long we mourn
life goes on…

[Chorus repeats to end]
[sung overtop repeating chorus]

Life goes on homie
gone on, cause they passed away
Niggas doin’ life
Niggas doin’ 50 and 60 years and ****
I feel ya nigga, trust me
I feel ya
You know what I mean
last year
we poured out liquor for ya
this year nigga, life goes on
we’re gonna clock now
get money
evade *es
evade tricks
give players plenty space
and basicaly just represent for you baby
next time you see your niggas
your gonna be on top nigga
their gonna be like,
'God, them niggas came up’
that’s right baby
life goes on…
and we up out this *****
hey Kato, Mental
y’all niggas make sure it’s popin’ when we get up there
don’t front.

Ooooh somany ****

Pharoahe Monch - Agent Orange

Its not a vietnam song…
I knew women from Desert Storm who came back deformed.
missing limbs and disease in their legs and arms
chemicals twice as strong as Agent Orange
…There’s messages in the bass drum
War goin’ on for your mind, no man is safe from…
its not a game, boy - x-box or playstation,
it’s Resident Evil when every President’s a Mason,
‘Robin’ y’all fools like Dick Grayson,
y’all inherited roots and don’t know how to retrace 'em…

Deadly Compination feat. Tupac

I be that young Freddie Fly smooth glorious kid
A Bad Boy, just like Notorious B.I.G.
I Roc-a-Fella like Shawn Carter
with more game than Ron Harper
The bomb sparker rapper slash charm robber
While y’all be on the corners bummy and high
I be out buyin the finest **** money can buy
You wish you was in a position that I’m in
Hot rhymin, diamonds shinin, autograph signin
My lifestyle is far out
Every week bring a different car out
I go to nightclubs and buy the bar out, UHH
cause I keep cream, I’m large on the street scene
Everytime I touch mics you hear all the freaks scream

[system]

Now I see the world as a candy store
With a cigarette smile, saying things you can’t ignore
Like mommy I love you
Daddy I hate you
Brother I need you
Lover, hey "f*** you"
I can see everything here with my third eye
Like the bluein the sky

“Nacho, nacho man. I want to be a nacho man” – Homer Simpson

Nah… My favorite lyrics are probably Time by Pink Floyd and Warm Wet Circles by Marillion. Old stuff…

From warm wet circles:

I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths
A classrooms shabby butterflies
Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes;
Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations,
Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass
Sharing cigarettes with experience
With her giggling jealous confidantes,
She faithfully traces his name
With quick bitten fingernails
Through the tears of condensation
That’ll cry through the night
As the glancing headlights of the last bus
Kiss adolescence goodbye

When I am king you will be first against the wall.

@Big Stan ft. Dmx - Walk with me

[DMX]
Sometimes I will take my brother by the arm
Other times I will take my brother by the shoulder
Then there are times I will take my brother by the neck
Any way I touch you, walk with me…

Uhh… uhh… uhh… GRRRRR
This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be (B.S.!)
This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be (off that bloodline thang)
This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be!
This ain’t the way, **** is supposed to be!!

[Big Stan]
Now I done seen the streets turned into a beast with sharp teeth
Put claws in the strong and just devour the weak
Make them proud niggaz humble (uh-huh)
Then turn around and make them loud niggaz mumble (uh-huh)
In the jungle I done seen niggaz voted “Most likely to win”
lose it all at the end of a stem; what a lame (uhh)
Friends killin friends for paper, what a shame (uhh)
And everybody thinkin they players, what a game (****)
I done seen this whole **** change
Looked again and realized that ain’t **** changed (WHAT?!)
Except the fact that I’m a grown man now (uhh) standin on my own two
Used to hate guns, now a nigga own two (C’MON!)
Twin glocks for cops and use I promise to
I ain’t goin out like Amadou, you know what I’ma do (AIGHT?)
So sit back and try to visualize if you can
All the stories of a wise man - walk with me

[Chorus: DMX]
Look at my life… look at how I live
Look at what I go through… so what I’ve got to give (THIS IS IT!!)
Look at my li-ife… look at how I live
Look at what I go through… so what I’ve got to give (THIS IS IT!!)

[Big Stan]
(My nigga!)
Now I’ve done seen life play jokes with death as a punchline
In a world with no hope, struggle to get mine
I was raised in a time of regret and bad news (uh-huh)
So I was taught my values by bad dudes (uhh)
Hustlers and killers… they taught me wrong from right
Told me everything that’s wrong is right, like
Hoppin a train, poppin the thang
And havin hot blocks poppin with 'caine, lockin the game (C’MON!!)
And the more ****, change, the more it’s the same
And the more you try to get rid of it, the more it remains
You remember when the kid’s dream to get to the top
was bein doctors, firemen, even the cops?
Look at the kids now, lost, no hope
To get ahead they plan to rap, play ball, or sell dope (ooooh)
And if you thinkin we the problem you wrong
A generation died at the same time our fathers was born

[Chorus]

[Big Stan]
I’ve seen a broken home influence a good kid to go bad
Cause boys with sane minds to go mad (uhh)
And young girls to lose they innocence so fast
And so often the results are so sad
Losin her skirt, don’t even know what flirt means
So a baby’s poppin up with a baby at thirteen (****)
A few years, she tried to settle down with her man
Tried to stop in all them other niggaz and can’t
Though she want to, the curse got her doin this dirt
Cause she saw mommy do it whenever daddy went to work ()
And it hurts, I know the pain call it the truth
Bad parents are destroyin the youth, I been there (WHAT?!)
I’ve watched men beat on my mother my whole life
So when I hit my baby mother I thought it was alright (NO!!!)
Maybe if I woke up and them niggaz was gone
I woulda knew that all the hittin was wrong, talk to me

[Chorus - 2X]

[DMX]
My niggaz
This, is, for my niggaz
This, is, for my niggaz
This, is, for my niggaz
This right here?! Is for my niggaz
B.S. baby! Uh-huh, uhh
Bloodline, bloodline, bloodline!
All my dogs, off the mother****in chain!
Arf, arf, arf, arf, arf-arf, ya heard?
***** *** nigga (***** *** nigga!)
Iceberg, hoo, B.K.! Ali X! St. Claire! Jinx!

@Gyroscope- In Flames

Geology is digging through my brain
a manta engulfing the world
to throw it up once again
to a guild of a lifted dagger

       Neo-wolf but older again
       than the Lupus itself
       linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
       a collection of failures
       
       A diabolical sequences of stabs written in cunning stone
       from the fossilised of thieves our lives dies
       
       I see the nursing all-mother
       spitting out a trail of termites
       in the mouth of her first-born hope
       breast ripe with smog-filled rebellion
       
       Apathy dressed in violence
       white insectoid legs
       curse her lips and mouth [/color]

@Chronic Future- New york

[/font][/color][/color] well all these people of the city will keep you in their blind spots
especially when they know that you’re out looking to sign dots
i tried to tell this girl how twisted my mind got
but it’s her dream to ride the conveyer belt of that side walk
she’s got intentions of being number one
but can she handle rejection in the city of no sun
where bricks change colors faster than careers do
and few people drive away and like what’s in their rearview

           new york city's so far away
           but i can't wait even for one more day
           they say these things come and these things go
           but if i don't try i'll never know

           she don't care what it takes
           she knows she's got the ability
           and with what her folks make
           you know she'd have stability
           she just needs to get out there
           and step toward her validity
           she can't keep dying over this
           because it's just killing me
           she's not used to foot steps digging in her chest
           high heeled investments and suites getting undressed
           growing old and having new recruits become the best
           and finding that she's stepped on everyone and no one's left

           well it hurts like walking barefoot on light bulbs
           smashing ideas with open skin
           till the pearl white drops of blood turn red
           and everyone can tell
           that you've worked hard enough
           it's time to go
           go get your map and compass and don't listen to them
           and don't think about how much time you're fixing to spend
           the dirt only ends when the pavement begins
           this is your heart your dream
           and you're your only friend so go

          you can kick the earth as hard as you want
            to show your frustration
            or you can get in your car and kick your foot to the gas
            and keep accelerating till you hit your destination

        [font=Verdana]As we build a brand new planet
        Lets reconstruct and get it straight
        
        Unlock forgotten skills
        Travel to a new dimension
        Souls from the dark seduction
        (Take heed), we are the new invention
        
        We're the settlers of year zero
        Lets reconstruct and take it back
        
        Leaders of our time
        Heading for a downfall
        The threshhold of revolution
        (Take heed)The last freedom call
        
        Blanked out fire etched on the chrystal display
        The sees are deep
        You better swim
        Don't go numb
        Collect the word, add some gold and give it back
        The sees are deep
        You better swim
        Don't go numb
        
        From a thousand branches
        Spreading the new voice
        
        As we're heading for the throne
        Connect, evolution will begin

@Children of Bodom- Kissing the Shadows

        [/font][font=Verdana]Hight above yer shadow smiles at me.
        Way down below I hear your serenely breathe.
        
        I`m running after you throughout
        the valleys of tormented souls,
        don`t you be afraid of me only kissing your shadows...
        You`re so far away, I can your scent, 
        when i carries your shadow,
        and if you truly want I`ll cross the line I`ll follow.
        
        I`m dreaming my way out from down below.
        To get wherever you haunting from, I`ll go...
        I`m kissing the shadows you surround me with,
        to feel my pain vanishing away from me.
        Your touching the shadows I`m surrounding you with,
        so together in pease we shall be.
        
        I`m running after you throughout
        the valleys of tormented souls,
        don`t you be afraid of me only kissing your shadows...
        You`re so far away, I can your scent, 
        when i carries your shadow,
        and if you truly want I`ll cross the line I`ll follow.[/font]

[color=black][color=#a0522d][font=verdana][color=black]Shame marries the guilt
introduces itself to the
concept of total loneliness
Sensations repressed
make friends with
Suicidia and
here the leeches begin to
suck away the lust for life

        Thus
        Escape takes lead
        into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
        where border are erased and potential infinite
        Chosen cells glands and transmittors
        blast the body with joy
        Astral feet running
        up to dimension covered with gold
        stairs of glowing ectoplasma
        safir onyx and buzzing vibrations
        A dead man banquet
        food for the gods
   
        There's only 1 real world
        our earth is but a shadow
        Created from a child's heart a living jewel
        from now on abode for a soul in its setting
   
        Now
        sutting the bloodline
        re-tie the bleeding roots
        to a heavenly ship of glass
        and let it drift in passive arrogance
