"Skyfall" - Adele
This is the end Hold your breath and count to ten Feel the earth move and then Hear my heart burst again For this is the end I've drowned and dreamt this moment So overdue I owe them Swept away, I'm stolen Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together At skyfall That skyfall Skyfall is where we start A thousand miles and poles apart Where worlds collide and days are dark You may have my number, you can take my name But you'll never have my heart Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together At skyfall [x2:] (Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall) Where you go I go What you see I see I know I'd never be me Without the security Of your loving arms Keeping me from harm Put your hand in my hand And we'll stand Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together At skyfall Let the sky fall We will stand tall At skyfall Oh "Lose Yourself" - Eminem
Look, if you had one shot, or 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 already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down, The whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking how, everybody's joking 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 Easy, no He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that but he's broke He's so stagnant, he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo This whole rhapsody He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him [Hook:] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo (You better) The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king, as we move toward a new world order A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, homie grows hotter He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter Lonely roads, God only knows He's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water His hoes don't want him no more, 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 partner but the beat goes on Da da dum da dum da da [Hook] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher Best believe somebody's paying 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 Cause man, these goddamn 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 Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screaming on and Too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day of monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot So here I go it's my shot. Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got [Hook] You can do anything you set your mind to, man |
"Changes"- Tupac Shakur
[1] Come on come on I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself, "Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?" I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero. Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare. First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers. Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other. "It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said. 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead. I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes. Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers. And that's how it's supposed to be. How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is [Bridge w/ changing ad libs] Come on come on That's just the way it is Things'll never be the same That's just the way it is aww yeah [Repeat] I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races we under. I wonder what it takes to make this one better place... let's erase the wasted. Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right. 'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight. And only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh. It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact... the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks. But some things will never change. Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game. Now tell me what's a mother to do? Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you. You gotta operate the easy way. "I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way. Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid," Well hey, well that's the way it is. [Bridge] [Talking:] We gotta make a change... It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive. And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace? There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East. Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me. And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do. But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you. Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up. You gotta learn to hold ya own. They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone. But tell the cops they can't touch this. I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this. That's the sound of my tool. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool. And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back. 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback. Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years. Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh [Bridge 'til fade:] Some things will never change "Dreams"- J. Cole
Seems like I always had crushes on chicks I couldn't have And then I end up fucking with someone I shouldn't have See, in my mind, it's like I'm perfect for her, I gotta show her But sadly, in reality, dog, I don't even know her But still somehow she got my mind infatuated Absolutely fascinated with the thoughts of what she might be like Time after time after time I had to wait, Is fate procrastinating? I can take it 'cause I might be right, 'cause it's The girl of my dreams Ay, is she good as what she seems? Or am I lying to myself? Ay, should I try and get some help? Oh shit, she passed me on the boulevard Ay, tell me is it stalking if I follow her all the way home without her knowing Nah, nigga, I'm just curious where she stay at Besides when I'm with her, this gon' be the spot we lay at And maybe I'll just drive by occassionally And if one day I happen to see her outside, she wave to me, Imagine what she'll say to me: this ain't no time to be afraid no more It's time for bravery No matter if my homies think I'm crazy, it's Look, I spot her walking in the mall, Okay, it's time to grow some balls if she really gon' be yours Oh my god, I'm walking towards her My mind screaming stop, but my legs keep walking forward Straighten up your face, nigga, she see you coming for her My heartbeat racing, and my hands keep shaking Say something, you shy motherfucker, she's waiting, "Wassup girl, don't mean to interrupt But in the city I done met a lot of women But you from my dreams, ay will you come true? I know about a show that we can catch, some R&B and rap, ay you should come thru" She said, "uh, I love too, except I don't like rap Besides, if I went with you, then I don't really think my man would like that" Okay, you say you got a man, I mean, I definitely understand, I'm happy for you, really am, I couldn't have been the only fan In the world Of a girl like you I mean, you're beautiful, and I'm sure he's a very nice dude It ain't no biggie, well I'm sure that I'm gon' see you around the city Only thing I ask if shit don't work out for y'all, don't forget me And don't act like a stranger when you see me on the scene I came up with a world-class scheme to get So I find out the nigga name, know exactly where he stayin' Find out when he leave for work, hold up nigga, is you sane? I'm a follow in my car; I'm a cut in front of his Run him right into the wall, maybe even off the bridge I give her a little time, then console her while she crying She gon' take that as a sign; finally she will be mine I'll be king, and she'll be queen when I hit her with ring At the wedding, who gon' sing? |

The Civil Wars
I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, I'll never let you go When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound Don't you dare look out your window darling Everything's on fire The war outside our door keeps raging on Hold onto this lullaby Even when the music's gone Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound Just close your eyes You'll be alright Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound... "Listen"- Beyonce
Listen to the song here in my heart A melody I start but can't complete Listen to the sound from deep within It's only beginning To find release Oh, The time has come For my dreams to be heard They will not be pushed aside and turned Into your own All cause you won't Listen... [Chorus:] Listen, I am alone at a crossroads I'm not at home in my own home And I've tried and tried To say what's on my mind You should have known Oh, Now I'm done believing you You don't know what I'm feeling I'm more than what you made of me I followed the voice you gave to me But now I gotta find my own. You should have listened There is someone here inside Someone I thought had died So long ago Oh I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard They will not be pushed aside or worked Into your own All cause you won't Listen... [Chorus] I don't know where I belong But I'll be moving on If you don't... If you won't... ...listen to the song here in my heart A melody I've started but I will complete Oh, Now I'm done believing you You don't know what I'm feeling I'm more than what you've made of me I followed the voice you think you gave to me But now I gotta find my own, My own. |
"Oh Mother" - Christina Aguilera
Whoa, oh, yeah, She was so young with such innocent eyes She always dreamt of a fairytale life And all the things that your money can't buy She thought that he was a wonderful guy Then suddenly, things seemed to change It was the moment she took on his name He took his anger out on her face She kept all of her pain locked away Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back Cause he'll never hurt us again So mother, I thank you For all that you've done and still do You got me, I got you Together we always pull through We always pull through We always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother It was the day that he turned on his kids That she knew she just had to leave him So many voices inside of her head Saying over and over and over, "You deserve much more than this." She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises) So tired of defending her life, she could have died Fighting for the lives of her children Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed) Oh mother, don't look back Cause he'll never hurt us again (he'll never hurt us again) So mother, I thank you (thank you) For all that you've done and still do (still do) You got me, I got you, (yeah you got me and I got you) Together we always pull through. We always pull through We always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother All of your life you have spent Burying hurt and regret But mama, he'll never touch us again For everytime he tried to break you down Just remember who's still around It's over, and we're stronger And we'll never have to go back again Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back (oh mother don't look back again) Cause he'll never hurt us again (cause he'll never hurt us again) So mother, I thank you (and I thank you for everything you've done) For all that you've done and still do (together we always move on) You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you) Together we always pull through (always pull through) We always pull through We always pull through I love you mom "Tears Always Win" - Alicia Keys
Check it out It feels kinda crazy These covers May keep me warm at night But they can't take your place Cause they never gonna hold me tight And these pillows May let me rest my head But they can't say good night And tuck me in before I go to bed Say now baby girl you're better off That's what I'm telling myself (over and over) But I'm lying to myself Cause I know I don't want nobody else [Chorus:] These lips are missing you Cause these lips ain't kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms ain't holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These candles Light up my room at night But they can't light the room they way you did When you walked inside, oh baby If these walls could sing About everything they've witnessed Oh it'd be a sad sad song And it'll probably sound something like this Say now baby girl you're better off That's what I'm telling myself (over and over) But I'm lying to myself Cause I know I don't want nobody else [Chorus:] These lips are missing you Cause these lips ain't kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms ain't holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over When everything in this room reminds me of you Everytime I think, I'm getting closer Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose These lips are missing you These lips ain't kissing you I put up a fight But once again these tears always win These arms are wanting you These arms ain't holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win Crying like oh oh...

These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win "Survivor"-Destiny's Child
