Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

Another head
hangs lowly
Child's slowly taken
and the violence
Cause such silence
who are we mistaken
But you see
it's not me
It's not my family
in your head
In your head
they are fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are crying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
What's in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Another mother's
breaking heart is
Taken over
when the violence
Cause silence
we must be mistaken
It's the same
old theme
Since nineteen sixteen
in your head
In your head
they're still fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are dying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
But in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know
that you're toxic-

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now
(I think
I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now-

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

Well take me
back down
Where cool water
flows yeah
Let me remember
things I love
Stoppin' at the log
where catfish bite
Walkin' along
the river road
At night
barefoot girls
Dancin' in
the moonlight
I can hear
the bullfrog
Callin' me
wonder if my rope's
Still hangin'
to the tree
Love to kick
my feet way down
The shallow water
shoefly dragonfly
Get back your mother
pick up a flat rock
Skip it across
Green River well-

Up at cody's camp
I spent my days
With flat car
riders and
Cross-tie walkers
old cody junior
Took me over
said you're gonna
Find the world
is smouldrin
And if you get lost
come on home
To Green River
well-

Yesterday
All my troubles
Seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in
Yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man
I used to be
There's a shadow
Hanging over me
Oh Yesterday
Came suddenly
Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm.

Well today
I'm so weary
Today I'm
so blue
Sad and
broken hearted
And it's all
because of you
Life was
so sweet dear
Life was
a song
Now you've gone
and left me
Oh where
do I belong
And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

If I'm gonna
break down
I'ma break down pretty

But I hate this city
oh why
I'm running out
of crazy
Are you entertained

Drown myself
in champagne tears
Yeah I know too much

They took my soul
as a souvenir
But the show

Beach blonde hair
on the bathroom floor
'Cause I don't wanna
be her no more
But they keep banging
on the hotel door
So the show

Surrounded by people

And we will never ever

Are we an item

We're just friends

Said there's another
look right in my eyes
My first love
broke my heart
For the first time
and I was like
Baby baby baby oh like

Baby baby

Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like

Baby baby

And I just can't

But I'm

And I'm in pieces

And just shake me

Wake me

And I just can't

Would be around

Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
When I was 13
I had my first love
There was nobody that
compared to my baby
And nobody came
between us
Or could ever
come above
She had me goin' crazy
oh I was star-struck
She woke me up
daily
Don't need no
Starbucks
She made
my heart pound
And skip
a beat
When I see her
in the street
And at school
on the playground
But I really wanna
see her on the weekend
She know
she got me gazin'
Cuz she was
so amazin'
And now my heart is
breakin'
But I just
keep on sayin'
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
I'm gone
now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
now I'm all gone
I'm
gone

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

An empty street
an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are
getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
my love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing
with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself
From thinking
oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
to hold you in my arms
To promise you
my love
To tell you
from the heart
You're all
I'm thinking of
I'm reaching
for a love that
Seems so far so so
I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
say a little prayer
Dreams will
take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you
once again
Over seas
from coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you
once again my love-

Time it needs time
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
can bring back
your love someday
I will be there
I will be there-

I'll fight babe
I'll fight
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
Can break down
the walls someday
I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you-

Try babe try
To trust in my
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love our love
Just shouldn't
be throw
away I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed
our love
Yes I've hurt you pride
and I know what
you've been through
You should give me
a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you---

I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you---

Today is gonna
be the day that
They're gonna throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you gotta do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
Backbeat the word is
on the street
That the fire
in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard
it all before
But you never really
had a doubt
I don't believe that
anybody feels the way
I do about you now
and all the roads
We have to walk
are winding
And all the lights
that lead us there
Are blinding
there are many things
That I would like
to say to you
But I don't know how
because maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna
be the day but
They'll never throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you're not to do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
And all the roads
that lead you there
Are winding
and all the lights
That lights the way
are blinding
There are many things
that I would like
To say to you
but I don't know how
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one who saves me
and after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna
Be the one
that saves me-

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-
