As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left 'Cos I've been blasting and laughing so long, that Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but i gotta loc As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (repeat) Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) The getto situation, they got me facing I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'd out gangsta set tripping banger And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, I'm living life, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 The way things are going I don't know Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me If they can't understand it, how can they reach me I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me (fade out) |

So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock
This old world's going to reel and rock Saints will tremble and cry for pain For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane If God had a name, what would it be? And would you call it to his face, If you were faced with Him in all His glory? What would you ask if you had just one question? And yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home? If God had a face, what would it look like? And would you want to see If seeing meant that you would have to believe In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints And all the prophets? And... Yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home? (Just?) tryin' to make His way home Back up to Heaven all alone Nobody callin' on the phone 'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome Yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home?

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me. Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill. But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen. Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh, The more I get of you, The stranger it feels, yeah. And now that your rose is in bloom. A light hits the gloom on the gray. There is so much a man can tell you, So much he can say. You remain, My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny. Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby? But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen. Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh, the more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom. A light hits the gloom on the gray, I've been kissed by a rose on the gray, I've been kissed by a rose I've been kissed by a rose on the gray, ...And if I should fall along the way I've been kissed by a rose ...been kissed by a rose on the gray. There is so much a man can tell you, So much he can say. You remain My power, my pleasure, my pain. To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby. But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen. Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh, the more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom, A light hits the gloom on the gray. Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray Now that your rose is in bloom, A light hits the gloom on the gray. |

a lonely mother gazing out of her window
staring at a son that she just can't touch if at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much but all the praying just ain't helping at all 'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble so he goge out and he makes his money the best way he knows how another body laying cold in the gutter listen to me *chorus don't go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all but i think you're moving too fast little precious has a natural obsession for temptation but he just can't see she gives him loving that his body can't handle but all he can say is baby it's good to me one day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror but he doesn't recognize his own face his health is fading and he doesn't know why 3 letters took him to his final resting place y' all don't hear me *chorus don't go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all but i think you're moving too fast i seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone leavin' a trace of not one god-given ray is it because my life is ten shades of grey i pray all ten fade away seldom praise him for the sunny days and like his promise is true only my faith can undo the many chances i blew to bring my life to anew clear blue and unconditional skies have dried the tears from my eyes no more lonely cries my only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope wit such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain who's to blame for tootin' caine in your own vein what a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain you claim the insane and name this day and time for fallin' prey to crime i say the system got you victim to your own mind dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of comin' true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you *chorus don't go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all but i think you're moving too fast |

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear And says You are not alone But I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone Just the other night I thought I heard you cry Asking me to come and hold you in my arms I can hear your prayers Your burdens I will bear But first I need your hand Then forever can begin Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear And says You are not alone But I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone Oh whisper three words And I'll come running darling And girl you know that I'll be there I'll be there You are not alone But I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart |

I want you to know
That I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me? Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theater? Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby? I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well Things look peaceful I'm not quite as well I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you fuck her? 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know 'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes And you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it Oh, can you feel it? Well, I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know why I'm here: To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know |

She sits alone by a lamppost
trying to find a thought that’s escaped her mind She says Dad’s the one I love the most but Stipe’s not far behind She lets me in only tell me where’s she’s been when she’s had too much to drink I say that I don’t care I just run my hands through her dark hair and I pray to God you gotta help me fly away And just Let her cry~if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing~if it eases all her pain Let her go~let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be~Let her be This morning I woke up alone found a note by the phone saying maybe I’ll be back some day I wanted to look for you You walked in I didn’t know just what to do so I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself And just Let her cry~if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing~if it eases all her pain Let her go~let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be~Let her be Last nite I tried to leave She cried so much I just could not believe she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago She went in the back to get high I sat down on my couch and cried yelling oh mama please help me won’t you hold my hand. -Chorus |
