Kanye West - Jesus Walks

bringing some "flava" to this site....


Yo, We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism but most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me) with me with me with me (fades)

You know what the Midwest is? Young & Restless
Where restless Niggaz might snatch your necklace
And next these Niggaz might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these Niggaz who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of Chi where death is
Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard hard
Getting choked by the detectives yeah yeah now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying "we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?
We ain't going nowhere but got suits and cases
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Well momma I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone til November I got packs to move I Hope

(HOOK x 2)
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that me feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

To the hustlas, killas, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers (Jesus walks with them!)
To the victims of Welfare for we living in hell here hell yeah (Jesus walks with them!)
Now hear ye hear ye want to see Thee more clearly
I know He hear me when my feet get weary
Cuz we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers are role models we rap we don't think
I ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tape
But if I talk about God my record won't get played, Huh?
Well if this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreaming about
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out

(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks)
The only thing that I pray is that me feet don't fail me now

modest mouse - float on

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's OK
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK

And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on anyway, well

a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
Bad news comes-don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day,
Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way

And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on

Alright already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on

[Alright! already!]
and we'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on okay
Don't worry, we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on

Alright already, we'll all float on [alright!]
Don't you worry, we'll all float on [alright!]
We'll all float on, all float on...

saves the day - this is not an exit

Tonight will be
The night that we
Begin to ease
The plugs out of the dam

And we will stand
Knee deep in the flow
The undertow will
Grab our heels and won't let go

And while we hold
Our legs quivering
The water rises now
To our teeth when we just let go

Chorus:
And sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping our backs
To breathe in the air will be
The only thing that we have

And all the wasted nights
And empty moments in our lives
Flushed away
As we sway with the rhythm

Of the waves
Bobbing us up
Crests fall to troughs
Feel our gills open up

Chorus

And if the hook sets in
The bottom of our lungs
We'll rip it out and
Lick the blood off with our tongues

Despair
Can ravage you
If you turn your head around
And look down the path

That's led you here
Cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now
Floating down the waterways

You can take your rudder
And aim your ship
Just don't bother
With the things left in your wake

Just sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping your back
To the breathe in the air will be
The only thing that you have

And your love will be warm nights
With pockets of moonlight
Spotlighting you as you drift,
The actor in this play

And you walk across the stage
Take a bow and hear the applause
And as the curtain falls
Just know you did it all

The best that you knew how
And you can hear them cheerin' now
So let a smile and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well

don't let real love pass you by...

Boyz II Men - Pass You By

She was like nothing I've ever known
Her eyes shined like diamonds in a field of snow
Man that destiny led her to me
Made her feel that life was now complete

Now a thousand days have passed and nights gone by
You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Though she denies her pain and her dismay
Know I said this to her anyway

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing
All the love you have inside (have inside)
Can't hope to see the sun in you
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by
Don't let real love pass you by

I know you're nervous but take it from me
'Cause you deserve so much more than you recieve
Listen to your heart and let it show
Dont hold onto your pain just let it go
Let it go

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing
All the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun in you
If you don't open your eyes (open your eyes)
Girl don't let real love pass you by
Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing
All the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun in you
If you don't open (up) your eyes
Girl, don't let real love pass you by
Girl, don't let real love pass you by


You can find the love you need
If you set your heart free (free, free, free)

Don't

Don't have to stay
With someone
Who makes you cry
Don't be discouraged baby
Don't let real love pass you by



...don't let anything pass you by...boyz ii men rocks...

sweetest goodbye

yay! my first post here....i feel so popular, just knowing that a select group of awesome people will inevitably read this....now i'm kinda feeling insecure....gonna go run away now....


alright, back. so, looks like i'm gonna be the first one to start with the goodbye songs for us seniors. and of course i must start it off with the oh-so-great maroon 5 - sweetest goodbye


Where you are seems to be as far as an eternity
Outstretched arms, open hearts,
If it never ends, then when do we start?

I'll never leave you behind,
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did recieve

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you come back,
I have some things to say

How does it feel to know you'll never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be some place here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I

Dream away everyday
Try so hard to disreguard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart

I'll never leave you behind,
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever ever ever did recieve

How does it feel to know you'll never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I feel

How does it feel to know you'll never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I feel.. feel.. feel.. feel



oh, let the tears start rolling....
