Some Things You Can't Take Back Lyrics
Well she was lookin? out the window And I was starin? at the door The dog was sleepin? on the sofa This place has never been this quiet before You can?t pretend it never happened You can?t pretend it?s still the same You can?t say you were only jokin? You can?t keep thinkin? things can go on this way CHORUS Some things you can?t take back Though you wish you could Some things y

No more time to pass time 'cause these are the last rhymes
'Cause we're living in the last times...
They wanna go to war more wars to come
But most of us fight more wars than one
Discrimination in the racial nation
While they destroy our strong foundation
Nature's balance is way off balance
They tip the scale now it's no more silence
The hole in the ozone layer is outta control
But they wanna fight for more oil and gold
Unemployment, I got laid off
The streets is the last resorts to get paid off
For more, more mint, no doe for rent
I gotta shed blood to make a red cent
Maybe I should ask the president
Somebody give me the president
But he don't want to hear it, it's out of the question
'Cause in my section it's worse than recession
So I go to a rich neighborhood and pl
Behind Bars Lyrics
You never thought I'd do it, you never say it coming but it happened and they caught you in the act I used you for a set-up I used you for a decay and you fool: you went and fell into the trap you took me for an ally but I knew you were an enemy you got what you deserved because I'm shrewd you knew I was an expert in the art of pulling rip-offs but you never dreamed I'd put the heat on you I took the cash: you took th

Take from the bad and give to the good
First I go to Bensonhurst, steal a Benz, snatch a purse
Pick up my friends, that's when it gets worse
'Cause I need government and they need government
Alot of mint spent, now I gotta pay rent
Who makes the most dead presidents in the projects
You're gonna get robbed and wrecked
I parked up the block to plot on a kid that made a knot
Let's get him for all he got
I approached him slow like I was a basehead
Put the fo-fifth to his face and said
You see those kids over there wit the hoods
Walk to them real slow and give them the goods
First the gun and the doe and crush the jumbos
One false move and no one knows
'Cause I got a silencer to hush the bust
And I'm in a rush, so hush the fuss
Plus the poison you fed will no longer spread
Bob Beamon Lyrics
Three steps forward, two steps back Oblivious to all around Psyching up for the big jump Breathing getting deeper Then charging down the track Hitting the board just right All that energy released And now in perfect flight That moment when all that training Comes together perfectly When nothing seems impossible Just you, airborne and free
Three steps forward, two steps back Oblivious to all around Psyching up for the big jump Breathing getting deeper Then charging down the track Hitting the board just right All that energy released And now in perfect flight That moment when all that training Comes together perfectly When nothing seems impossible Just you, airborne and free
You good as dead, I'm a fill your head wit lead
That's when I pushed him into his building
To murder him ...but I remember the children...
chorus:
We gotta teach the children everyday, keep a song
Show them the light, teach them right from wrong
Make some sense so they can carry on
Teach the children
We gotta teach the children so that they can sing along
Understand the words in this song
Can't be done when we're gone, so..."
Teach the children ,save the nation
I see the destruction, the situation
They're corrupt, and their time's up soon
But they'll blow it up and prepare life on the moon
Sounds like Total Recall
But who gotta spaceship, you get it, we fall
So hope for the best and expect the worst
The end is near and it's U-N-I verse...

She's Leavin' Lyrics
When I think about the time that I sat crying in my beer Jukebox pounding misery from ear to ear I know I'd tell myself I'm better off without you here But I'm looking for beginnings when the end is always near. She's leavin' in the morning sing a sad song for me Keeping me in the dark don't know how long it will be But I've heard that tune before she says she's gotta be free But I know that's not true and that's wh
one's that interfere wit nature When I think about the time that I sat crying in my beer Jukebox pounding misery from ear to ear I know I'd tell myself I'm better off without you here But I'm looking for beginnings when the end is always near.

Labeled you limited and underrate ya,
His plans over rule when he separates ya
Now it's U-N-I verse, the one that hates ya
So we gotta let them know, we're hip to the script
Change the skit, or we're about to flip
'Cause we want access to happiness
Livin' the good life and much success
Equal opportunity
Self awareness and unity
Education, the kids need a sculpture
Teach them the abacus and their culture...
And that'll help stop the robbing, raping and killing
Poison neighborhoods are illing
But they import more keys from across seas
A drug disease hits the streets wit ease
So keep on building.... 'cause we gotta keep building
Till the answers are filled in
And make sure you don't stop till then...
And if you do, remember the children
