Lights Out At Eleven (29292) Lyrics
(DeMarchi/Parise/Leslie) How can you rest when you're not tired How can you live when all hope has expired You don't know what you're missing I hope you know that you're missed He can't confide in suicide He can't pretend it's a justified end Look for the spirit by your side He's holding hands with you my friend You my friend Ooh my friend A moment's problem brings a lifeless solution And then he turned out the lights at eleven You don't know what you'r
(DeMarchi/Parise/Leslie) How can you rest when you're not tired How can you live when all hope has expired You don't know what you're missing I hope you know that you're missed He can't confide in suicide He can't pretend it's a justified end Look for the spirit by your side He's holding hands with you my friend You my friend Ooh my friend A moment's problem brings a lifeless solution And then he turned out the lights at eleven You don't know what you'r
[Chorus]
Here we go, here we go, here we here we go X4
(dispersed through the first chorus)
Teodross Avery in the house tonight
Put your hands together ladies and gentlemen
You understand, yo we also got my man
A close personal friend of mine, Talib Kweli
Blackstar, Reflection Eternal
Yo, put it down like this
[Verse 1]
I'm sayin
African blood race through my vein
You can hear it in my name
And you can feel it in my game
I'm sayin the streets is drama
Make me wanna rock my body armor
Still I'm probably calmer
Than your average Dalai Lama
I use the meditation, I stay patient
But I never deal with hesitation
I'm way blunted yo, I can give a what
If your favorite stations feelin me
These rap cats are killin me
No type of stability

Girl Inside My Head Lyrics
When all is said and done I wish I needed no one Never was up to me Just something in her way that sets me free It seems so easy And yeah I try to pay attention But there's only four things running through my mind How hard will it be if she is nice to me? How bad will it get if I let her get to know me? Should she see the willing dog or should i be a jungle cat? And most of all my god how does she make her eyes do that? And i dont need another girl inside my

My ability got more cats in New YorkWhen all is said and done I wish I needed no one Never was up to me Just something in her way that sets me free It seems so easy And yeah I try to pay attention But there's only four things running through my mind How hard will it be if she is nice to me? How bad will it get if I let her get to know me? Should she see the willing dog or should i be a jungle cat? And most of all my god how does she make her eyes do that? And i dont need another girl inside my
Running than Hilary
We be chillin, where the blood be spillin
We got the red badge of courage for bravery
Me and my man Teodross Avery
Blow away the legacy of slavery
Through any phone, sax or a micro
Hotter than a light show with the pyro-techniques
Through the speakers let the best speak
In less we forget where we come from
Blast you into next week now you got
History to run from
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
My work ethic, keep me deep in the cut like anti-septic
Respected in the world where people faker than prosthetics
Stay true to a certain aesthetic
Protect it like the hip-hop secret service
Cat off top lookin nervous
Wondering when we gonna set it
Anticipation will kill you if you let it in your aura
Reflect it like god
Le Pioggie Daprile Lyrics
Le pioggie d'aprile (Francesco Guccini) Ma dove sono andate quelle piogge d'aprile che in mezz'ora lavavano un'anima o una strada e lucidavano in fretta un pensiero o un cortile bucando la terra dura e nuova come una spada, ma dove quelle piogge di primavera quando dormivi supina, e se ti svegliavo ridevi, poi piano facevi ridere anche me con i tuoi giochi lievi. Ma dove quelle estati senza fine, senza sapere la parola nostalgia, solo colore verde

You can't lead a man to water
Like you can a lamb to slaughter
So I concentrate on me so I can
Keep my plans in order
I clutch like King Cobra
I rock while ya'll boulder
Chop emcees up, put em in the grinder
Like farmer of Dakota
Cuz I'm colder than a polar
Walk, talk and stand on my ancestors shoulders
Told you we at wear like sista soldier
Battle tactics, spray wars
Like gat clips, full metal jackets
That hit, BAW!
Got you lookin acrobatic doing back flips
Even if the track skips,
We improv like Jazz Artists
Freestyle, hop back on the beat
and rock regardless
[Verse 3]
I'm saying, ya'll with me tonight?
I'll travel at the speed of light
When I see the mic, I get this on lock
Cuz my song is in the key of life

I roll with my ????
Cuz we be alike
Consider them family
Make sure they all eating right
See the plan is to feed the fam
Then free the land, before I get old
I can't be young forever like Peter Pan
Cats pale in comparison
So bad they need a tan
Barely see they hand
Craft they face like a seed of sand
See the ??? you got to beat the man
Understand I'm saying
The writing on the wall like a paint can
Spraying graffiti on your soul
Music completely make me whole
I'm saying, trying to keep my
Pockets on swoll
To give back to the community
Make a future for you and me
From my birth certificate to my eulogy
Usually in Brooklyn
But my mind keep it movin
Ain't no mystery
Cuz we showin and provin
[Chorus]
