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-

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

She's got a smile
that it seems
To me reminds
me of childhood
Memories
where everything
Was fresh as
the bright blue sky
Now and then
when I see her face
She takes me away
to that special place
And if I stared
too long
I'd probably
break down and cry
Oh sweet child
o' mine
Oh sweet love
of mine

She's got eyes of
the bluest skies
As if they thought
of rain
I hate to look
into those eyes
And see
an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child
I'd hide
And pray
for the thunder
And the rain to
quietly pass me by
Oh sweet child
o' mine
Oh sweet love
of mine

Oh sweet child
o' mine
Oh
sweet love of mine
Oh sweet child
o' mine
Oh
sweet love of mine

Where do we go
where do we go now
Where do we go
woo where do we go
Oh where do we go now
where do we go
Um
where do we go now
Ah
where do we go now
Where do we go ah
where do we go now
Where do we go
where do we go now
Where do we go
where do we go now
No
sweet child
Sweet child
o' mine

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.

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-

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-
In other words
I love you-

When I was
a young boy
My father took me
into the city
To see a marching band
he said
"Son when you grow up
would you be
The savior
of the broken
The beaten
and the damned?"
He said
"will you defeat them
Your demons and
all the non-believers
The plans
that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you
in the summer
To join
the black parade"
When I was
a young boy
My father took me
into the city
To see a marching band
he said
"Son when you grow up
would you be
The savior
of the broken
The beaten
and the damned?"

Sometimes I get
the feeling
She's watching over me
and other times
I feel
like I should go
And through it
all the rise and fall
The bodies
in the streets
And when you're gone
we want you
All to know
we'll carry on
We'll carry on
and though you're dead
And gone believe me
your memory will
Carry on
we'll carry on
And in my heart
I can't contain it
The anthem won't
explain it
A world that sends
you reeling
From decimated dreams
your misery
And hate will
kill us all
So paint it black
and take it back
Let's shout it loud
and clear
Defiant
to the end
We hear the call
to carry on
We'll carry on
and though you're dead
And gone believe me
your memory will
Carry on
we'll carry on
And though
you're broken
And defeated you're
weary widow marches
On and on we carry
through the fears
Oh oh oh
disappointed
Faces of
your peers
Oh oh oh oh
take a look at me
'Cause I could not
care at all
Do or die
you'll never make me
Because the world will
never take my heart
Go and try
you'll never break me
We want it all we
wanna play this part
I won't explain
or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer
for all the broken
Listen here because
it's who we are
I'm just a man
I'm not a hero
Just a boy who had
to sing his song
I'm just a man
I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!
we'll carry on
We'll carry on
and though you're dead
And gone believe me
your memory will
Carry on
we'll carry on
And though
you're broken
And defeated you're
weary widow marches on
We'll carry on
we'll carry on
We'll carry on
we'll carry
We'll
carry on

Put your loving
hand out baby
'Cause
I'm beggin'
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out darlin'
Riding high
when I was king
I played it
hard and fast
'Cause
I had everything
I walked away
you won me then
But easy come and easy
go and it would end
So anytime I bleed
you let me go
Yah anytime I feed
you get me know
Anytime I seek
you let me know
But I planted that
seed just let me go
I'm on my knees
when I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't wanna
lose you
Hey yeah
ra ta ta ta
'Cause I'm beggin'
beggin' you
Uh put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
And put your loving
hand out darlin'
I need you
to understand
Tried so hard
to be your man
The kind of man
you want in the end
Only then can I begin
to live again
An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life
was hangin' over me
A broken man
that I don't know
Won't even
stand
The devil's dance
to win my soul
What we doin'
what we chasin'
Why the bottom
why the basement
Why we got good sxxx
don't embrace it
Why the feel for
the need to replace me
You're the wrong way
track from the good
I want to paint
a picture
Tellin'
where we could be at
Like a heart
in the best
Way should
you can give it away
You had it
and you took the pay
But I keep walkin' on
keep openin' doors
Keep hopin' for
now the door is yours
Keep also home
'cause I don't want
To live
in a broken home
Girl I'm beggin'
mmm yeah yeah yeah
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out darlin'
I'm fighting hard
to hold my own
Just can't make it

I'm holding on
I can't fall back
I'm just a calm

Put your loving
hand out baby

So put your loving
hand out darlin'

I believe
the children are
our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them all
the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed at least
I live as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all is
easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself
it is the Greatest
love of all
I believe
the children
are our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them
all the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed
at least I live
as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all
is easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself it is
the Greatest
love of all
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

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

It's 12:45
on a Tuesday
I don't really care
what you say
I'm just getting
off my face tonight
'Cause
I'm just
Tryna live
till the weekend
And
I don't know
How I'm supposed
to breathe when
Everything you say is
playing on my mind
You don't know
where I've been
And you don't know
what I'm drinking
I need a moment
to think
About
nothing at all
Oh baby
you gotta stop
I see
that you're calling
I told you that
I ain't picking up
I know that
you wanna start
'Cause we got
our problems
I love you but I just
need tonight off
It's getting
pretty deep in the AM
And I should go home
but I'm staying
I'll be
sleeping
On the cold floor
tonight oh
I hope
you'll understand
In the
morning
That this is
just my problem
That
I'm solving
Yeah I got a lot
of stuff on my mind
I don't know
where I've been
And what the hell
am I drinking
And I can't help
but to think
Yeah
it's all my fault
Oh baby
you gotta stop
I see
that you're calling
I told you that
I ain't picking up
I know
that you wanna start
'Cause we got
our problems
I love you but I just
need tonight off
Oh one night
just one night off oh
Oh baby
you gotta stop
I see
that you're calling
I told you that
I ain't picking up
I know that
you wanna start
'Cause we got
our problems
I love you but I just
need tonight off
Oh just
one night off
I love you but I just
need tonight off
It's 12:45
on a Tuesday
I don't really care
what you say
I'm just getting
off my face tonight

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

Fever dream
high
In the quiet
of the night
You know
that I caught it
Bad bad boy
shiny toy with a price
You know
that I bought it
Killing me slow
out the window
I'm always waiting
for you
To be waiting
below
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me
makes me want you more
And it's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
Hang your head low
in the glow
Of the vending machine
I'm not dying
We say that
we'll just screw it up
In these trying times
we're not trying
So cut the headlights
summer's a knife
I'm always waiting
for you
Just to cut
to the bone
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
And
if I bleed
You'll be the last
to know oh
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard
He looks up grinnin'
like a devil
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard
