up on cripple creek - bob dylan When i get off of this mountain
You know where i want to go Straight down the mississippi river To the gulf of mexico To lake charles, louisiana Little bessie, a girl that i once knew And she told me just to come on by If there's anything she could do {refrain} Up on cripple creek she sends me If i spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak she defends me A drunkard's dream if i ever did see one Good luck had just stung me To the race track i did go She bet on one horse to win And i bet on another to show Odds were in my favor I had him five to one When that nag to win came around the track Sure enough he had won {refrain} I took up all of my winnings And i gave my little bessie half And she tore it up and blew it in my face Just for a laugh Now there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see That's when that little love of mine Dips her doughnut in my tea {refrain} Now me and my mate were back at the shack We had spike jones on the box She said, "i can't take the way he sings But i love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a fall To the bottom of my feet And i swore as i took another pull My bessie can't be beat {refrain} Now, it's hot in california And up north it's freezing cold And this living off the road Is getting pretty old So i guess i'll call up my big mama Tell her i'll be rolling in Bet you know, deep down, i'm kinda tempted To go and see my bessie again IP: Logged |

Canibus Take this job and shove it Yo 6 o'clock every morning you waking up yawning To the sound of your alarm clock alarmin' About an hour from now You should be at the place of employment Which is annoying cause it's so boring Your co-workers are talking too loud for you to ignore them It affects your occupational performance You wonder why your work load is so enormous Because your boss just laid off three quarters of the whole office People get depressed, they get ulcers From the stress that the corporate environment causes Regardless of how you ultimately wanna solve this Seems to me like you've got one of four choices: You could take a new job offer for more chips Stick it out a little longer or forfeit But my advice to anybody that wants to quit It'll feel much better if you say it like this:
[biz markie] Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job, take this job, take this job and shove it [canibus] Yo, if your boss is a s-o-b Tell him to s-h-o-v-e the j-o-b Put your middle finger up slowly Put it close enough to his face so he can examine it closely Say i ain't workin here no more Who do you think you are? Rip your apron off, throw it on the floor Run to the door, to the payphone Make a toll-free call Tell your spouse what happened and where you are So they can come and get you in the car later on And help you search for a new 9 to 5 job If the unemployment line ain't that long You can take your time printin out w-9 forms Eventually, you'll get on if you try hard enough And you'll get money if you keep punchin your time card enough Maybe you hate it, maybe you love it But if you hate it all you gotta do is get mad and tell the boss to [biz markie] Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job, take this job, take this job and shove it [canibus] Yo, some occupations are like slave gigs The boss' favorite gets placed in something spacious While the most hated get placed in some small cubicle spaces Or get thrown down in the basement, get your stapler confiscated You constantly waitin for a paycheck Twelve months passed by and you still ain't get paid yet Here's a optimistic motto If you ever late for today you could say you early for tomorrow Most 9 to 5's are hard Cause the description in the job ain't no picnic in the park People get hired Drink coffee to stay wired So they don't get tired, sleep late, and get fired [biz markie] You came in late, you already ate, Nowww, you wanna take a lunch break!??! [canibus] Ay, yo bust it, ain't no need to discuss it Just take this job and shove it, right between your buttocks [biz markie] Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Take this job, take this job, take this job and shove it Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Ah ah ah ah ahahah ah I ain't workin here no more Take this job and shove it I ain't workin here no more Ay ay ay ayee ay I ain't workin here no more

The King of Carrot Flowers - Part One (jeff mangum; Neutral Milk Hotel) When you were young You were the king of carrot flowers And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you And from above you how I sank into your soul Into that secret place where no one dares to go And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking And dad would dream of all the different ways to die Each one a little more than he could dare to try

Two-Headed BoyTwo headed boy All floating in glass The sun it has passed Now it's blacker than black I can hear as you tap on your jar And I am listening to hear where you are I am listening to hear where you are Two headed boy Put on Sunday shoes And dance round the room to accordion keys With the needle that sings in your heart Catching signals that sound in the dark Catching signals that sound in the dark We will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking everything that you could keep beside Now your eyes ain't moving now They just lay there in their cloud Two headed boy With pulleys and weights Creating a radio play just for two In a parlor with a moon across her face And through the music he sweetly displays Silver speakers that sparkle all day Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face And in the dark we will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking everything that you could keep beside Now your eyes ain't moving now They just lay there in their cloud Two headed boy There's no reason to grieve The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow And I will take you and leave you alone Watching spirals of white softly flow Over your eyelids and all you did Will wait until the point when you let go

Two-Headed Boy Pt. TwoDaddy please hear this song that I sing In your heart there's a spark that just screams For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep And love all you have left like your boy used to be Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet Sister please with those wings in your spine Love to be with a brother of mine How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight Sounding only at night as you sleep in my dreams you're alive and you're crying as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet rings of flowers 'round your eyes and i love you for the rest of your life and you're (?) Brother see we are one in the same And you left with your head filled with flames And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth Push the pieces in place Make your smile sweet to see Don't you take this away I'm still wanting my face on your cheek And when we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place where some holy spectacle lies And when we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life Two headed boy she is all you could need She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires And retire to sheets safe and clean But don't hate her when she gets up to leave (All his lyrics, like his music, are amazing. http://sadtomato.net/NMH/NMH_lyrics.htm )

Isn't It A Pity - George HarrisonIsn't it a pity, Isn't it a shame How we break each other's hearts, And cause each other pain How we take each other's love Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Isn't it a pity Some things take so long, but how do I explain? When not too many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their tears, Their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them- Oh isn't it a pity Beware of Darkness- George Harrison Watch out now, Take care beware of falling swingers Dropping all around you, The pain that often mingles in your fingertips Beware of darkness Watch out now, Take care, beware the thoughts that linger Winding up inside your head The hopelessness around you In the dead of night Beware of sadness It can hit you, it can hurt you- Make you sore and what is more, That is not what you are here for Watch out now, take care, Beware of soft shoe shufflers Dancing down the sidewalks, As each unconcsious sufferer Wanders aimlessly, Beware of MAYA Watch out now take care, Beware of greedy leaders They'll take you where you should not go, While Weeping Atlas Cedars They just want to grow- Beware of darkness ^ I love All Things Must Pass . He was such a Pisces.

Indeed... I wonder how ol' Mr. Libra is doing. I Can by Nas
[Kids] I know I can (I know I can) Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be) If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it) I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be) [Nas] Be, B-Boys and girls, listen up You can be anything in the world, in God we trust An architect, doctor, maybe an actress But nothing comes easy it takes much practice Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version Hung with the wrong person Got her strung on that Heroin, cocaine, sniffin up drugs all in her nose... Coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old No fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath Cause she smells of corrosion and death Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how, Put your hands in the air, and take a vow [Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)] I know I can (I know I can) Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be) If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it) I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be) [Nas] Be, B-Boys and girls, listen again This is for grown looking girls who's only ten The ones who watch videos and do what they see As cute as can be, up in the club with fake ID Careful, 'fore you meet a man with HIV You can host the TV like Oprah Winfrey Whatever you decide, be careful, some men be Rapists, so act your age, don't pretend to be Older than you are, give yourself time to grow You thinking he can give you wealth, but so Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know You thinkin life's all about smokin weed and ice You don't wanna be my age and can't read and write Begging different women for a place to sleep at night Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish If you believe you can achieve, then say it like this [Chorus] [Nas] Be, be, 'fore we came to this country We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys There was empires in Africa called Kush Timbuktu, where every race came to get books To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans Asian Arabs and gave them gold when Gold was converted to money it all changed Money then became empowerment for Europeans The Persian military invaded They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred Africa was almost robbed naked Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces Shot up they nose to impose what basically Still goes on today, you see? If the truth is told, the youth can grow Then learn to survive until they gain control Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes Read more learn more, change the globe Ghetto children, do your thing Hold your head up, little man, you're a king Young Princess when you get your wedding ring Your man is saying "She's my queen" [Chorus] Save the music y'all, save the music y'all Save the music y'all, save the music y'all Save the music IP: Logged |

I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me? I'd quickly give my freedom to be held in your captivityI am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes just to stay in your good grace Lately Ive been thinking maybe you're not ready for me maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for for you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I'll say the same thing I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear I promise i won't complain I just need to you acknowledge I am here If you give me half a chance i'll prove this you to you I will be patient, kind, faithful and true to a man who loves music a man who loves art respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart I am ready for love if you'll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can I am ready for love Here with an offering of my thoughts, my eyes, my soul, my mind Tell me what is in my heart to prove I am ready for love I am ready India.arie IP: Logged |

Hey cool marycarmen! Yeah, it's a great song. Do you have any favorites you'd like to share? Here's another one of my all time favorites. I've had one part of it playing over and over in my head all day (the bolded part). Buckets of Rain ~ Bob Dylan Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears. Buckets of moonbeams in my hand, I got all the love, honey baby, You can stand. I been meek And hard like an oak I seen pretty people disappear like smoke. Friends will arrive, friends will disappear, If you want me, honey baby, I'll be here. Like your smile And your fingertips Like the way that you move your lips. I like the cool way you look at me, Everything about you is bringing me Misery. Little red wagon Little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like. I like the way you love me strong and slow, I'm takin' you with me, honey baby, When I go. Life is sad Life is a bust All ya can do is do what you must. You do what you must do and ya do it well, I'll do it for you, honey baby, Can't you tell? Love, love, love that one.

yup!! that movie was great..... and Canibus is the greatest rapper ever!!!********** Canibus - I Honor U Album: Can I Bus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chorus: (Sung by a woman) We'll never part (through) sickness and health You are my heart I love you more than I love myself But in the middle of the night I heard you cryin' in your sleep It'll be all right I'll be there for you If you tell me all your secrets Yet in the middle of the night I heard you cryin' in your sleep I held you tight I'll be there for you...... If you tell me all your secrets Canibus verse 1 Aye Yo! Boy meets girl, boy really likes her Boy loses contact with girl but he finds her Girl has no clue that boy is a liar, and he has no honor. So she dates him regardless, 'cause she thought he was harmless And he had her believing' he was the man she wanted. To spend the rest of her life with. The words "I love you" are Priceless, unpredictable like rollin' dice is. Nonetheless inspite of the fright And repercussions you might get people still risk they necks. Of course it's nice the feelin' of courtship Roses and stuff, women never get it often enough. And the reason people love they mother so much Besides the fact she carried you for nine months, is trust. It's a five letter word, that should only occur between him and her Before the bees and the birds...word! You are my heart I love you more than I love myself But in the middle of the night I heard you cryin' in your sleep It'll be all right I'll be there for you If you tell me all your secrets Yet in the middle of the night... Aye Yo! I heard a soft moan in the middle of March, Then I felt a powerful force push me forward like a dart. On your mark, get set, GO! I was off, flagella was my propellor wiggling back and forth. Then I set across for the border, Mother Nature's callin' Calling me to the rock of Gibraltar. The compitition tried to be smart but I was smarter. My competitors was swimmin' fast so I swam harder. Submerged in water, prayin' to my heavenly father If I don't make it through I'm a "goner." Screaming out death before dishonor, because I'm awesomely Stronger, my stamina last longer. I was destined to be a son Instead of a daughter, XY is the male chromosomal order. One'll stay alive, and survive, the rest'll be dead 'Cuz I'm a be the one to fertilize that egg (echoes out) In the middle of the night I heard you cryin' in your sleep I held you tight I'll be there for you.... If you tell me all your secrets. Aye Yo! Mommy I'm up in your stomach, buggin'. Whenever you Rub it, I love it like a comforters covers you warm as a oven. Your husband...stubborn, how can you love him. Smokin' cigarettes by the dozen when he knows that I'm comin'. Bad move, you hopin' that daddy improves. Knowin' in your heart that's bull, because he's too cruel. You've been abused, used, you got wounds and scars. Stick with your mind not with your heart, let's go to grandma's. Terminate the lease call the landlord. Give your job two weeks notice Pack up the car, and go to New York. What part. They got a little borough called The Bronx, Mom.. And I heard that's where hip-hop is gonna start. Yeah, I think we need to be right there. Four months In your stomach and I already chose a career. When you cry I hear, and I wish I could dry your tears, but I can't 'cuz I'm stuck in here. Five months from being able to lay against your chest I can't even hold you in my arms, 'cuz they ain't developed yet. But I swear to you, as the God Almighty Truth I'm a be there for you I'm a be there for you.

Hey petron, those were some beautiful lyrics right there. Havent heard that one. Wow. I'm a Method Man fan and I like Nas (old Nas, dont know his new stuff) .... and Biggie. Trying to remember the stuff I used to listen to with my brother. He listened to mostly underground rap - some really good stuff. Sunz of Man was one - awesome. Eli and ......cant remember. I've been meaning to pick up a Slick Rick album for awhile too. Love him. La-Di-Da-Di This is something you never witnessed before... Yes, it’s the incredible doug e. fresh... With his partner, the grand wizard mc, ricky d D, and that’s me in the place to be. We goin’ to do it for ’85, kick it live, allright? Cuz you know, you’re all sick of all these crap rappers Biting their rhymes because of they’re back steppers. But when it comes to me and my man doug fresh here, There is no competition ’cause we are the best, yeah. But as impress, which we approve And yeah, we realize that we are on the move, So listen closely so y’all don’t miss As we go a little something like this, hit it! La-di-da-di... La-di-da-di... La-di, da-di! Yo peep this La-di-da-di, we like to party We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody We’re, just some men that’s on the mic And when we rock upon the mic we rock the mic right For all of y’all, keep y’all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself Cause it’s cool when you cause a cozy conditioning Which we create, cause that’s our mission So listen close, to what we say Because this type of **** happens everyday I woke up around ten o’clock in the morning I gave myself a stretch up, a morning yawn and Went to the bathroom to wash up Put some soap on my face and my hand upon a cup, said Mirror mirror on the wall Who is the top choice of them all There was a rumble tumble, five minutes it lasted The mirror said, you are you conceited ******* ! Well that true, that why we never had no beef Then I washed off the soap and brushed the gold teeth Used oil of olay cause my skin gets pail And then I grabbed the file for my finger nails I’m true to the style on my behalf I put the bubbles in the tub so I could take a bubble bath Clean, dry, was my, body and hair I threw on my brand new gucci underwear For all the girls I might take home I got the johnson’s baby powder and the polo cologne Fresh dress, like a million bucks, Put on the bally shoes and the fly green socks. Stepped out the house stopped short, oh no Went back in I forgot my kangol Then I dilly, dally, I ran through the alley I bumped into this homegirl named sally from the valley This was a girl playing hard to get So I said what’s wrong? cause she looked upset She said uh, it’s all because of you I’m feeling sad and blue You went away And now my life is filled with rainy days I love you so How much you’ll never know Cause you took your love away from me Now what was I to do She was crying over me and she was feeling blue I said, don’t cry, dry, your eyes Here comes your mother with those two little guys Her mean mother steps and says to me hi! Hit sally in the face and punched her in the eye Kicked her in the belly, and stepped on her feet Slammed the child on the hard concrete The ***** was strong, the kids was gone Something was wrong I said what was going on? I tried to break it up I said, stop it, leave her She said, if I can’t have you she can’t either She grabbed me closely by my socks So I broke the hell out like I had the chicken pox But uh, she gave chase, she caught up quick She put a finger in the face of mc rick, and said Why don’t you give me some play? And we can go cruising in my (oj) And if you give me that ok I’ll give you all my love today Ricky ricky ricky, can’t you see Somehow your words just hypnotize me And I just love your jazzy ways So mc rick my love is here to stay And on and on and on she kept on The ***** been around before my mother’s born I said, cheer up! I gave her a kiss I said, you can’t have me I’m too young for you miss She said, no you’re not, then she starts crying I says, I’m nineteen, she says, stop lying! I said, I am -- go ask my mother And with your wrinkled pussy, I can’t be your lover! To the heart tick tock you don’t stop To the heart tick tock you don’t quit, hit it! ...don’t ever forget, doug e. fresh, and mc ricky d... hehehe IP: Logged |

yea method man, nas, tupac, fugees, and i specialy love lauren hill ******* Lauren Hill Everything Is Everything Everything Is Everything Everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually I wrote these words for everyone Who struggles in their youth Who won't accept deception Instead of what is truth It seems we lose the game, Before we even start to play Who made these rules? We're so confused Easily led astray Let me tell ya that Everything is everything Everything is everything After winter, must come spring Everything is everything I philosophy Possibly speak tongues Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist Rap this in fine linen From the beginning My practice extending across the atlas I begat this Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress You can't match this rapper /slash/ actress More powerful than two Cleopatras Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations Then came down for a little conversation Adjacent to the king, fear no human being Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum Now hear this mixture Where hip hop meets scripture Develop a negative into a positive picture Now, everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually Sometimes it seems We'll touch that dream But things come slow or not at all And the ones on top, won't make it stop So convinced that they might fall Let's love ourselves then we can't fail To make a better situation Tomorrow, our seeds will grow All we need is dedication Let me tell ya that, Everything is everything Everything is everything After winter, must come spring Everything is everything Everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually IP: Logged |

Lauren Hill's great. I wonder if you listen to Erykah Badu. She's up there in my top 10. Gorgeous voice. I could listen to her album 'Mama's Gun' on repeat for days. Erykah Badu .....& On A one-one, two one two On & on & on & on Wake the f*** up 'cause it's been too long Say wait a minute, Queen What's your name I be that gypsy Flippin' life game from the right brain Ascension maintained Rolling through like a burning flame Like a super nova star She be the light When they in the dark Morning The moon pass the sun Four constellations start forming Across up in the sky But everybody wanna ask me why What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that ish Badu, Badu What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that ish Badu, Badu Said I'm a Pisces Zika deka del Well well I'm raising hell People always tryin' to find the world I'm in I'm the envy of the women and I rule the men 2 fish, 1 swimmin' up stream 1 swimmin' down livin' in a dream But when she loves she tends to cling When incense burns, smoke unfurls Analog girl in a digital world The rasta style flower child Zip dip dow, zip dip dow The gold tooth smile Split them vowels Bling bloom bling, melinated I'm 'bout ta give birth to church But everybody want to ask this earth What' What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that ish Badu, Badu Bridge!

Orange Moon ~ E. Badu I'm an Orange Moon I'm an Orange Moon Reflecting the light of the sun Many nights he was alone Many, many, many nights His light was so bright that they turned away And he stood alone Every night and every day Then he turned to me He saw his reflection in me And he smiled at me when he turned to me Then he said to me How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is I'm an Orange Moon I'm brighter than before Brighter than ever before I'm an Orange Moon and I shine so bright Cause I reflect the light of my sun I praise the day, he turned my way And smiled at me He gets to smile and I get to be orange, that I love to be.............

'danger zone' from 'top gun'...Revvin' up your engine Listen to her howlin' roar Metal under tension Beggin' you to touch and go Highway to the Danger Zone Ride into the Danger Zone Headin' into twilight Spreadin' out her wings tonight She got you jumpin' off the track And shovin' into overdrive Highway to the Danger Zone I'll take you Right into the Danger Zone You'll never say hello to you Until you get it on the red line overload You'll never know what you can do Until you get it up as high as you can go Out along the edges Always where I burn to be The further on the edge The hotter the intensity Highway to the Danger Zone Gonna take you Right into the Danger Zone Highway to the Danger Zone IP: Logged |

'Sweetness' by YESShe brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon; She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon. She watches for my moods, never brings me down; She puts the sweetness in, all around. She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside. And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide, hide, hide. Today she brought me in, told me where she'd been; She put my mind at rest, put the sweetness in. I'll ask her for some time to go and look around; She puts the sweetness in with a sound. She knows just what to say to make a sunny day. And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way. Tell me, how would you feel with no world of your own and nobody to hold? I just can't see the way; I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here. She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon; She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon. She watches for my moods, never brings me down; She puts the sweetness in, all around. She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside. And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way. Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never go. Doo doo doo doot n doo. She'll never leave me, believe me, no. Doo doo doo doot n doo. She'll never go, no no no no no no no no no no no no. IP: Logged | |
