Killer Machines
04:45
|
|||
the trumpeters of death have come to dine and dance until we're numb
from all the terror, leaders who scare us to killing ourselves safe
explosion rips through finger tips
they're selling the apocalypse on tv lying, children are dying as the levee breaks.
Is this a dream
there are killer machines
up in the sky now what does it mean
go for your guns or go for your dreams
everyone here knows love is the hero of the scene
I've seen the future baby this is good morning
get on up
ain't no looking back now it's on us
the moment has arrived
hear the battle cries and come alive
you could be the hero tonight
we're warriors roaming through the night
guided by the satellite look
blood on the playground
nowhere to play now
my aren't we safe
the resurrection planet earth
comes after we have raped her first
from corporate die-in
who wants to buy in (buy yin)
black gold at stake
Is this a dream
there are killer machines
up in the sky now what does it mean
go for your guns or go for your dreams
everyone here knows love is the hero of the scene
I've seen the future baby this is good morning
get on up
ain't no looking back now it's on us
the moment has arrived
hear the battle cries and come alive
you could be the hero tonight
take a look it's a serial thriller
up in the sky is a killer machine
chorus
It's a war on the world a war on the world
everyone here knows love is the hero of the world
heal the world..help hear the world
killer machines

Precious
04:11
|
|||
need a break from all things you
yeah I think I gotta do it
for myself cause i'm into you
getting harder to control it
dangerous when i'm close to you
how nothing really matters at all
but the rules to the game say just keep playing
don't tell her how you feel
if I play it too cool I could win or lose
and that ain't even real
can I tell you something real
this is precious and I don't want to blow it
you're so precious and I just hope you know it
this is precious and I don't want to blow it
does the boy get the girl in the end
seems to be the question
will I end up with my best friend
or just another lesson
I don't know where to go from here
girl I really can't see this one at all
but the rules to the game say
man don't you change
don't tell her how you feel
but I don't want to play
ain't about what you say
all that matters is how we feel
can I show you something real
chorus
well I ain't gonna stand here and tell you
everything's gonna work out just fine
hell I ain't even trying to convince you
you could find a better love than mine
even though the sex is good girl I gotta keep it hood
you could walk away at any time
unless I hear you say.. that I'm
precious
I don't want to blow it
this is pressure
I just hope you know it
cause you're precious
and I don't want to blow it
this is precious
I just hope you know it

what kind of lies are you selling me
well you know I ain't buying
I ain't the one who make believes
you took me for a test ride
now you're letting him drive
what kind of hold does he have on you
Is it cash you're after, well
that makes you a muse with benefits
but you just think I'm hatin'
well all I'm really saying is
what if it blows your mind
what if it's just not right
maybe you should go and think this over
you're trying to get to heaven but you got a little hell to pay
never been a follower I ain't about to start today
believe I see you
if that's what you want girl
get what you want girl
said that's what you want girl.. go ahead
why do your friends keep telling me
I'm the best you ever had
I played a role in your fantasy
but happy ever after ain't really what you're after
what if it blows your mind
what if it's just not right
maybe you should go and think this over
you're trying to get to heaven but you got a little hell to pay
never been a follower I ain't about to start today
I can't believe you
and furthermore
you told me that it's over so what you calling for
and furthermore
you said you didn't want my loving anymore
look how you at me now
you're trying to get to heaven but you got a little hell to pay
I can't believe you played me to the left
I'm salty about it but I'll be okay.
I'm a be alright hey hey

There You Go
03:32
|
|||
there's something about you that thinks it's cool
to keep me here waiting like I'm your fool
I don't really want to be your fool
no no no no more
just tell me now and I'll move on
you think you're so fresh I keep hanging on
I don't really want to be here hanging on for you
but you can't let me know
there you go
underestimating me again
the shit was over before we ever began
I know I was complicit
but now I can dismiss it
you ain't best for me
and it's best I let cha be
caught in a world wind
I played your game
I don't need a girlfriend
that has no shame
looking at me to place your blame
people might say that
it's just my time
but a brother like me had
to work for mine
you know how much I stay on the grind
I guess you thought I'd never know..

Everything Is U
04:05
|

thought I'd be
better off without you
now I see
just the opposite is true
I'm sick and tired of sitting all alone
my house is not a home
I can't get you on the phone
I can't believe
I've been disrespected
on top of that
my emotion's been neglected
I said hurtful things
but I didn't mean it
I thought the grass was greener
but no one compares to you
I don't know what to say
don't know what to do about you
can't live without you
since you've been away
I can't seem to sleep without you
can't breathe without you
everything is you
baby can't you see everything is you
and now you're gone
everything is you
what am I gone do cause I want you home
from earth to mars
are we that far
I can't believe it's you trying to hurt me
this friendly fire's killing me
my lover is now my enemy
if i'm at fault
then you should know
you had me at the moment you said hello
lower your weapon
embrace the blessing and please come home
chorus
baby tell me why please tell me why can't we work things out
what am I gonna do cause I miss my friend
don't you want a chance at paradise
at this point there's nothing more to say
oh baby don't throw this love away
I'm begging you
I cain't breathe
I cain't sleep
got me bent down on my knees
hoping and wishing that you'd come home
please don't leave me all alone
may day may day emergency
I need to feel you with urgency
how you
why you deserting me
this is hurting me
girl this is hurting me

and make them feel special

cause daddy's gone don't let it slow you down

even tho, even tho daddy ain't around
to the world you might be one person
but to that person you might be the world (anonymous)
you are somebody superstar

Pedal To The Metal
05:05
|
|||
in a hustlers world
with no one to trust
but she ain't the average girl
he lets her ride
because she keeps him close to God
now he wants out of the game
but this ain't a life you can simply
just walk away from
so he buries his pain
deep inside his manly pride
I got some cash baby grab your keys
don't pack a bag take what you need
whatever helps ease your mind
tonight we leave the city behind
let's put the pedal to the metal let the top lean back
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll run into
I'm checkin' for you how you feel about that
I think it's time we rendezvous
now he's rubbing her back
trying to work out a demon
that's haunting her life
someone took her innocence
so trusting was hard for her
until she found him
surely her mother is concerned
quit running around
when will you learn
but she said 'tomorrow waits for no one'
tonight we'll leave this city behind
chorus
cause all he really wants is to be with you
to feel your warm embrace
to wake up and kiss your face
now all she really wants is a love that's true
tonight was made for lovers
under covers
now take your top down and let the girls be free :)))
chorus

you can tell by the way that he treats her
that's his love
an undefeated love
undefeated love
you can tell by the way that he holds her
that's his love
an undefeated love
undefeated love hey
young man you be thankful for the gift of that girl
she's in your world
can you believe it
be thankful everyday that you have found a true pearl
something rare and precious
a girl
don't you dare be foolish
you can tell by the way that he calls her
calls her love
an undefeated love
undefeated love
he get her everything man he spoils her
spoiled by love
an undefeated love
undefeated love
at night when he's alone out there
you're on his mind
to make you his bride
can you believe it
unconditional acceptance
matched with real sacrifice
that's what it takes
a brand new life
a family awaits
a view for all time
our love survives undefeated
push through the pain
and still we remain undefeated
take my hand baby and walk with me
Undefeated Love
Like a champion rising above against all odds
as long as we keep God we'll be undefeated
Undefeated Love
Put your hands up stand up if you been through it all
Keep standing tall..

Count Your Blessings
05:28
|
|||
a child of so many talents
she wonders where he'll go
trying to instill the values of balance
love and self control
but something had a hold on him
and would not let go
so she said
baby count your blessings
and wish upon a falling star
things have always been
exactly like they are
the child of a man (*his inner child)
he was his closest friend
and how they used to run together
until no end
eventually life would separate the two
society had stripped him of all he knew
and so he returned
remembering his blessing
before his bridge had burned to far
things have always been exactly like they are
sometimes what we have seems like
the very least of anyting
and all that we don't seems like
the very most of everything
but baby without love
we both have nothing
girl don't leave me with nothing
I thought we really had something
you've been
chatting with your simple minded friends
got you putting me down
said a lil tasty something over there
is where I've been getting down
girl you need to call for a new dealer
before you play that hand
remember where we began
oh you'll see exactly where I am
baby count your blessings
and wish upon a falling star
things have always been exactly like they are
oh baby count your blessings and wish upon a falling star..
things have always...
