Birds Of Fire
04:17
|
|
||
Girl you know when I look at you
I wish there was somethin' I could do
to keep control of my desire
though we know it maybe unwise
should we yet toss away the dice
and risk it all for just a while
Win or loose
we may choose
like so many fools
to surrender to the fire
Win or loose
we'll blame it all on up above
and the rulers of creation
forever bound in the night
like Birds of fire , birds of fire
could we lustin' eternally
find the key to hold endlessly
and never stop to feed this flame
we both know this might be a lie
an illusion , best a work of art
a risky game we both entice
CHORUS
Win or loose
we may choose
to surrender to the fire
hot like fiyah
fiyah 'll burn you

Billionaire

crooks at the top , crooks at the bottom ,
caught in the middle
gosh what we gon' do
Some worry bout the atmosphere
some just about the close they wear
them that got is them that gets
what we gon' do
we could all have fun
livin' life under the sun
but e'body wants to be a billionaire
wave your hand like U just don't care
we could all have enough
live in peace and harmony
but e'body wants to be a billionaire
wave your hand like U just don't care
Kids playing warfare in video games
violence is everywhere
what U gon'do ,what U gon' do
sometimes I feel it in the air
seems like the world could be just fair
som' got 2 have it all , gosh what we gon' do
CHORUS
U got your Tyrants and religious Fanatics
the world enslaved by all them fools and hypocrites
the rise and shine of the most clever imbeciles
ain't no particular race or creed for the wicked
sometimes U feel it in the air
seems like the world could be just fair
some wanna have it all , gosh what we gon' do
CHORUS

End Of Days
04:05
|
|
||
Maybe for a while
we yearn to loose ourselves out in the wild
living for the day
survivors of a youth of no tomorrow
consequences rise
should we feel glad or ill
bound so helplessly
should we keep going still
maybe just 4 a while
as we go round and round
maybe just 4 a while
until the end of days
still we stand a chance
approaching the dawn of better days
U and I to face
predictions of another time and space
yet we linger on
laying while still there's time
bound so helplessly
should we keep going ill ?
CHORUS
time and time again
helplessly drawn to sweeter miseries
we go on and on
tasting the fruits of life
bound so helplessly
should we keep going ill?

2 much frustration workin' 9 2 5
double shifts trying to pay these bills
credit crisis took my misses
all I got left is me , myself and I

and hear her voice whisper in my ear
is this whatcha want
wha' I want wha' I need yeah
is this whatcha want
wha' I wan 's my own thang yeah yeah
ca-an U take me higher
between streets crooks and mighty tricks
white collar crimes , million dollar greed
peace of mind is hard to find ya
makes you wanna get revenge indeed
comes the end of the week
outlet is what I need
I go down to my spot
find a lil' company
juss' wanna have a lil' good time
and hear her voice whisper in my ear
CHORUS
c'mon c'mon take me higher
is there relief in the years ahead
a magic wand from the sky above
sometimes I feel we're on the move yall
sometimes I let it all get me down

Who U Are
05:04
|
|
||
Sometimes I wonder where you are
do you go places near and far
do U still glow and mesmerize
so like the moon ruling the dark
Sometimes it cuts me like a knife
but life is full of stress and strife
U don't always get what U want
but U stay true to who you are
So all I do is think about you
cos you're not around no more
and all I do is think about stuff
stuff we use to do
Sometimes it hits me in a flash
we should have know right from the start
there is no changin' who we are
no need for all the fuss and fight
no matter how wrong it is right
to stick to love and seeking light
even when you give all U got
and so forgetting where you at
CHORUS
Sometimes I wonder where you are
If U are places near and far
is anyone trapped in your maze
loosing their place lost and amaze
we handle stuff the best we can
sometimes your best ain't good enough
no matter how wrong it is right
to just stay true to who you are

Freedom
04:59
|
|
||
Here I stand
like a prisoner
in this here
my prison state of mind
you've enchanted the moment
then vanished from sight
leavin' me to yearn for your bite
there's none above U but the sky
no brighter light to my eye
Freedom , when will U come
freedom for us all
Freedom , when will U come
freedom for us all
just one sip of you
leaves me so addicted
stretching time into drag
no longer do I enjoy
the bliss of my existence
for starved is my soul
and my body void of life
there's none above U but the Sky
no stronger daze than your high
CHORUS
gone too soon
but surely not in vain
Some were killed in your name
still your spirit lingers on
eternally redundant
flirting it seems
with this abyss of destruction
there's none above U even the sky
keeps lookin'up to where you shine
CHORUS

Don't You Know
04:42
|
|
||
Don't U know
he ain't never gonna love you so
he ain't never gonna share your load
you're traveling on a lonely road
don't u know
this ol' world ain't gonna love you so
less you pick up the pieces and grow
find yourself and stand your ground
you
shall take a stand
free yourself and rise up from this low
move around
and wear wisdom like a crown
use your knowledge like a faithful sword
use your knowledge like a faithful sword
Don't U know
she ain't never gonna love you so
playing you just like a grand piano
cause you don't really got your own
don't you know
they ain't never gonna love us so
lift us up unless we do just so
change ourselves and let them know
we
shall take a stand
free ourselves and rise up from this low
move around
and wear wisdom like a crown
use our knowledge like a faithful sword
Don't U know
never worship no one but your own soul
less you wanna end up empty as a hole
used and abused by those...
Don't U know
deep in you there lies a loot of gold
some will try and steal and leave you
out in the cold
you better know you got it all
we
shall take a stand
free ourselves and rise up from this low
move around
and wear wisdom like a crown
use our knowledge like a faithful sword
use our knowledge like a faithful sword
use our knowledge like a faithful sword
don't u know
we should know
don't U know
we were told
long ago , long ago ,
we were told
long long ago

U Are The One
04:58
|
|
||
These rainy clouds , do they dream away , ( drift away )
or do they always stand
stand in your way , (a) sort of a price to pay
before you get a chance
a chance to overstand
what it is
what it is you wanna do , about
trusting again and lettin' go
Baby can't you see , you are
you are the one for me
now I understand , you are
you are the one for me
am trying hard to sort this heart of mine
free me from the past
those crazy times , messin' with my head3
at least I understand
love was all a game , a foolish
waste of precious time
back then U were mine
now I'm the one that's left behind
CHORUS
is it too late , life moves on so fast
for no one can go back
unwind the whirl of the sands of time
seek a second chance
so I live each day , and night
hopping I could find a way
to get me a new love
now at least I understand
CHORUS

For You
04:15

|

4 U
Should I go far into the night and seek
the sacred knowledge of those who stand tall
and rule so mighty above us
4 U
Should I stir passions of a brand new kind
which shall entice your soul and quench your mind
fulfill your every fantasy
4 U X4
4 U
Should I succeed where all others fail
conquer thousand lands and galaxies
have the whole world right at your feet
4 U
Should I revert this place to paradise
erase all traces of the world's demise ( o'lord)
remove the apple from the three
4 U X 4
4 U
I'll talk all kinds of foolishness and brag
and gladly lure you in this trap of mine
and just devour your lusciousness
4 U
so many lurk and scheme around the block
around the ages of the moons and rocks
revolving round your inner core
4 U 4X

Don't Let The World
05:04
|
|
||
The things U know
No one should take away from you
U know U got a heart of gold
don't let no one get their way with you
And in the morning when U rise
the sun is shining trough your heart
there might be clouds up in the sky
but none of them can blind your mind
Don't let the world get U down
Don't let it turn your world around
Don't let the world get U down
cause you can turn it all around
Some will try and strike you
hurt and deceive you with their game
got no shame
dust it off and use the pain
getting stronger with each blow
cause U know
In the morning when U rise
the sun is shining trough your heart
there might be clouds up in the sky
but none of them can blind your mind
--CHORUS--
And if u keep , your head to the sky
than U may find
the world is yours to have
and if U keep , believing in yourself
than U may shine
among the brightest stars
Don't let the world get you down
Don't let the world get you down
Don't let the world get you down
Don't let the world get you down

Economy ( conclusion )
04:03
|
|

Economy
may I beg for mercy
we're being abused at the hands of your lords
bound by the buck / few living as free men
unless their weight / can be measured in gold
are we to suffer / 4 wants or transgressions
passions we entertain in our souls
Economy may I beg for your mercy
for those who can't compete for your gold , your gold
Economy
this global world united
under the seals of your kingdoms and laws
powerful tyrants / ruling in heaven
watching the least / crawling and fall
in this new age of Science and technology
may only the rich live life eternally
Economy
may I beg for mercy
at least for those / starving and cold , and cold
Economy is it true what they're saying
that U hunger for the bloodshed of war
so many ill corrupted and evil
capitalize on the pain and the toil
is this the will of a counsel of gods
crushing those forsaking their mighty laws
Economy may I beg for your mercy
may we be freed from the rage of the sword
Economy when will we be done with the madness
of tyranny and the business of war
Economy-may we beg for your mercy
and witness the dawn of freedom and peace
and peace
