Flipsyde

(Chorus)
You better get ready cause you know we bout to go all night
We do what we do when were doin' it cause we doin' it right

(Verse 1)
It's just another night my brother's night I'm rollin' up a dub that's tight
Get smothered right you bustas better be shackled up to ya wife
We doos it right when we does it stay buzzin' with cousins
Thought I wasn't at that bar poppin' collars hollin' it's nothin'
We crushin' game sprinkle on dames commence to change thangs
Playin' brain games she addicted like dick was cocaine
Feelin' no pain unpredictable like the dope game
From here to Spokane sippin' liquor that's mixed with OJ

(Chorus)
You better get ready cause you know we bout to go all night
We do what we do when were doin' it cause we doin' it right

(Verse 2)
Voce nao pode ver que estou falando agora
Se'ta escutando vamos para baile vamos embora
Se'ta escutando vamos quero fumar a maconia
Se'ta escutando vamos let's go to California
We hit Copacabana then we hit Ipanema
We touchin' down in the Mangueira where the thugs winnin'
We touchin' down in Cidade de deus where they sinnin'
We fill the stretch up with women and keep the wheels spinnin'

(Chorus)
You better get ready cause you know we bout to go all night
We do what we do when were doin' it cause we doin' it right

(Verse 3)
They call me Knight Rider I do the damn thing
Looking for woman half black and Lebanese
At the poker table hit em' for a 100 G's
And you can find me early mornings in between the knees
Light green purple hairs once again it's on
High speedin' through these California streets gone
Hollar catch me if you can peddle to the floor
Had to go four in the morning now it's on

(Chorus)
You better get ready cause you know we bout to go all night
We do what we do when were doin' it cause we doin' it right

Countin' trumpets on the wall
firey flame will kill us all
And I hear trumpets ringing
in my head before I go to sleep
Takes me back way back
when we were young and we were friends
Now I'm home alone smokin'
cigarettes waitin' by the phone
Sweet Virgina blue skies early mornin' sunrise
I can see your spirit dancin' next to mine

I know that you'll
never be the same again
We can just roll on
down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be
just never be alone
I know that you'll be there
when I will say goodbye

Hold on tight baby lean when I lean
Both arms tight lady follow my lead
Let your hair down feel it blow in the breeze
I'm a' take you to a place
that you'll never believe
Riding on the wind disappear in the sky
Never ask why spread wings and fly
Sunbathe in the sunrays and dream
Listening to Dave play and Stevie sing

I know that you'll
never be the same again
We can just roll on
down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be
just never be alone
I know that you'll be there
when I will say goodbye

Countin' trumpets on the wall
firey flame will kill us all
And I hear trumpets ringing
in my head before I go to sleep
Takes me back way back
when we were young and we were friends
Now I'm home alone smokin'
cigarettes waitin' by the phone
Sweet Virgina blue skies early mornin' sunrise
I can see your spirit dancin' next to mine

I know that you'll
never be the same again
We can just roll on
down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be
just never be alone
I know that you'll be there
when I will say goodbye

Verse 1:
Please accept my apologies, I wonder what would have been.
Would you have been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes.
I paid for the murder before they determined the sex,
choosing our life over your life meant your death.
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes,
sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life.
Would you have been a little genius? In love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your poppa The Piper?
Would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skin tone and shape of your nose,
and the way you would′ve laughed and talked fast or slow.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would′ve been.
Happy Birthday

Chorus:

What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seemed
Happy birthday
What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seem
I made a mistake

Verse 2:
I got a million excuses, as to why you died.
And other people got their own reasons for homicide.
Who′s to say it would′ve worked and who′s to say I wouldn′t have
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad.
The fear of being my father has never disappeared,
I ponder it frequently while I′m sippin′ on my beer.
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
so when it came time to create, I made a mistake.
But now you got a little brother, maybe it′s really you.
Maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused.
Maybe, every time that he smiles it′s you proudly
knowing that your father′s doing the right thing now.
I′ll never tell a woman what to do with her body,
but if she don′t love children, then we can′t party.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would′ve been.
Happy birthday

Chorus (2X)

Bridge:(2X)
And from the Heavens to the womb to the Heavens again.
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin.
Maybe one day we can meet face to face,
in a place without time and space.
Happy birthday.

Chorus

""Someday""
[Chorus]
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'
[Verse 1]
They tellin' me it's all good just wait
You know you're gonna be there someday
Sippin' on Jim Beam ok
Gotta get these things one day
Till then do another line you know
Searching for that other high
Stop or I gotta steal then steal
Kill or I'm gonna be killed
I got a sack in my pocket
Conscious yellin' drop it
You know we're gonna lose it someday
And we tryin' to hold it all together but the devil is too clever so
I'm gonna die you gonna die we gonna die Someday one day I said
[Chorus]
Someday we gonna rise up on the wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'
[Verse 2]
Try to lie but it ain't me Ain't me
Try to look but I can't see
Can't stop right now cause I'm too far and I can't keep goin' cause it's too hard
In the day in the night it's the same thing
On the field on the block it's the same game
On the real if you stop then it's no pain but if you can't feel pain then it's no gain
Rearrange and you change and it's all bad and you try to maintain but you fall back
And you crawl and you slip and you slide down
Wanna make it to the top better start now
So I hold my soul and I die hard
All alone in the night in the graveyard
Someday one day I'm gonna be free and they won't try to kill me for being me
Hey someday
[Chorus]
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'
If you know how this is
Gonna see it's not that easy
Don't stop get it till it's done
From where you are or have begun
I said keep on try a little harder to see everything you need to be
Believe in your dreams
That you see when you're asleep
[Chorus]
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'

Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'

They tellin' me it's all good just wait
You know you're gonna be there someday
Sippin' on Jim Beam ok
Gotta get these things one day
Till then do another line you know
Searching for that other high
Stop or I gotta steal then steal
Kill or I'm gonna be killed
I got a sack in my pocket
Conscious yellin' drop it
You know we're gonna lose it someday
And we tryin' to hold it all together but the devil is too clever so
I'm gonna die you gonna die we gonna die Someday one day I said

Someday we gonna rise up on the wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'

Try to lie but it ain't me Ain't me
Try to look but I can't see
Can't stop right now cause I'm too far and I can't keep goin' cause it's too hard
In the day in the night it's the same thing
On the field on the block it's the same game
On the real if you stop then it's no pain but if you can't feel pain then it's no gain
Rearrange and you change and it's all bad and you try to maintain but you fall back
And you crawl and you slip and you slide down
Wanna make it to the top better start now
So I hold my soul and I die hard
All alone in the night in the graveyard
Someday one day I'm gonna be free and they won't try to kill me for being me
Hey someday

Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'

If you know how this is
Gonna see it's not that easy

Believe in your dreams
That you see when you're asleep

Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'

[Verse 1:]
See we gotta get it right, but we always get it wrong
And it be the same old thing & it be the same old song
Tryin' to fight to survive
Tryin' to fight for our lives
See I'm only tryin' to live, I don't wanna say goodbye
But the day that it all should end, holla back some more that be
'Cause we'll all be born again
Maybe then we'll all be free & the day that it all should stop is a day that will never come
'Cause we gonna live forever
Spinnin' until we Spun.

[Chorus:]
Here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun
So here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun.

[Verse 2:]
See we got nowhere to run & we got no where to go
True love is all I need & to never to be alone
So I take a sip & chill while I take a dip & chew
Lookin' for a quick escape, but it all wears off too soon
All the girls they love to lie, some girls I'll never trust
But it's all a compromise, maybe I expect too much
Maybe if I close my eyes, maybe then I'll finally see
Maybe then I'll finally die, maybe I'll be finally free.

[Chorus:]
Here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun
So here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun.

[Verse 3:]
My superstition got me wishin' for another life
And if I don't listen I ain't gon' make it through another night
And the pills 'n' the caine & the drink & the drugs got me floatin' above
And the girls & cash & the cars & the hash got me feelin' a rush
A thousand voices in my head I don't know right from wrong
I'm breakin' down, holdin' on, I'm livin' song to song & Pipe your my brother 'til the day that we die
I don't give a fuck who hears me
'Cause I ain't gonna lie so roll it up, pour a cup, drink it up, smoke it up
I don't give a fuck we 'about to blow this shit up.

[Chorus:] [x2]
Here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun
So here we go one more time, here we go one more time
Now we Spinnin' yeah we spinnin'
Yeah we spinnin' now we Spun.

Hustlin's in my blood my father's name is Britain
His history consisted of robbery killin' and pimpin'
Filthy rich and the biggest killer that you ever seen
Once I'm older I'm takin' over I'm a be king
I was locked up in jail when he got the new land
Opened his cells I guess that's how the story began
First mission was to clear it out and claim it as mine
Indigenous people were peaceful it took no time
Great grandmother Africa was blind and disabled
Sons was traitors we played divide and conquer invaded
Sold her children into slavery and profited quick
Started makin' side deals and that's how I got rich
Daddy Britain found out and tried to put me in check
He don't understand I'm a man and I deserve some respect
Tried to bring it to me but I play for keeps and I won
Still my daddy but you ain't the only man with a gun
More money more problems little brother is wild
They call 'em The South he's country with a big ass mouth
Tried to show 'em new business but he don't wanna change
I love 'em but I knew eventually I'd blow out his brains
I'm America!

You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless.

Me and my daddy still cool and my uncles is with us
France Russia and Italy and we all killers
But it's this country named Germany that's out of control
Rollin with Japan and Turkey and them niggas is bold
Started fuckin' with my uncles and we all went to war
Uncle France damn near died at the tip of his sword
When the smoke cleared we won let 'em retreat
Should've killed 'em cause they knew they had us close to defeat
Kicked it off again 20 years later it was on
This time my uncle Italy traded and he was gone
I was neutral when Japan hit me guess that he knew
I aint gon' let my family fight without me jumpin' in too
Would've lost if I didn't hit Germany's weapon supply
Kamikaze Japanese was always ready to die
Dropped atomic bomb let them niggas know that it's real
Speak soft with a big stick do what I say or be killed
I'm America!

You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless.

I'm racin' with my uncle Russia we the ones with the guns
He supported the North so I rolled with South Vietnam
Thought it would be easy but almost 60,000 died
They was harder than Korea so we ran for our lives
It's a family called the Middle East and they got bread
Sellin' oil they don't cut me in then off with they head
I got a nephew named Israel that's right in the middle
Pay his allowance as long as he can dance to my fiddle
I had a partner named Iraq gave 'em weapons and money
Nigga started gettin' power and he start actin' funny
Saudi Arabia's cool gotta son Bin Laden
I was trainin' his soldiers to go against the Russians and stop 'em
Then he tried to say I need to take my soldiers and cut
Gave 'em the finger that's when he flipped and blew my shit up
I took it to 'em, and then I took it back to Iraq and if you ain't my blood brother you gonna be flat on yo' back
The sons of Africa just invented this shit called rap
Tellin' my secrets that's why I'm puttin' their heads on flat
Built an empire quick and it might not last
But I bet I go down in history as the one that smashed
I'm America!

You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless America
You know you know God Bless.

Hustlin's in my blood my father's name is Britain.
Hustlin's in my blood my father's name is Britain.
Hustlin's in my blood my father's name is Britain.
Hustlin's in my blood my father's name is Britain.

Thank God I woke up just another damn day
First thing I'm gonna do is fall on my knees and pray
We all eyewitnesses to some pain and suffering
Emptyin' our souls to sin to keep on struggling
All these fine materials fancy clothes and gold
Ain't gonna keep me happy forever so I just don't know
Have I reached the point of peace to keep that happiness alive?
Only God can change this bad feeling inside
I'm gonna live and I die smile and I cry happens today hey
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde

[Chorus]
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
And it don't matter if it's right or it's wrong
As long as it is and it's all good and we're gonna get grown
And everyday we face a battle inside but it don't matter if we win or lose we all gonna die yeah

[Verse 2]
Push comes to shove step with weapons and mean mugs
The worlds at war no discussion just draw your sword
What happened to peace all the angels are now deceased
They fell to the beast they was murdered for trying to teach
Lessons we learnin' a' have us burnin'
We failed to listen to the opposition and that's why we twisted with terrorism
Ain't no repentin' steady takin' but never givin'
So cold that I'm shiverin' frozen hoping that I keep on living
I'm lost in the system cut and bleedin' but bustin' back and stay on attack + Spittin' wickedly kickin'
facts
I'm strikin' my match light a fire inside ya mind
You with me Grab ya sword and let's ride and I'll see you on the Flipsyde

[Chorus]
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
And it don't matter if it's right or it's wrong
As long as it is and it's all good and we're gonna get grown
And everyday we face a battle inside but it don't matter if we win or lose we all gonna die yeah

Got this I got this feelin'
Got this I got this feelin'
Got this I got this feelin'

[Verse 3]
I'm feelin' this sunshine everyday
So why don't you come home baby and everybody tryin to battle each other getting smothered It ain't worth
it thirstin' for the blood of your brother
To be the first with no other life is lonely and undercover
Slow it down for a minute c'mon stop and wonder
Your skin ain't the only skin
Blood ain't the only blood
Dreams ain't the only dreams
This world makes me wanna scream
Life on the other side is day and night loose and tight
Hot and cold thunderin' and lightening least that's what I'm told
Gotta flip it and change it and rearrange it
My brain is tangled with strugglin' with labels they always try to name ya
On that on that on that Flipsyde

[Chorus]
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
And it don't matter if it's right or it's wrong
As long as it is and it's all good and we're gonna get grown
And everyday we face a battle inside but it don't matter if we win or lose we all gonna die yeah
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde

The game don't stop your soul is eternal baby I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
Ain't no beginnin' and there damn sure ain't no endin'
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
This side ain't right I know we'll meet up again
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
All my family and friends all my partners and all of my kin
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
Jilad, Marcus Holland and all of my home boyz
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
Everybody who didn't make it to see their little home boy blow
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde
Live yo life live yo life
I'm gonna see you on the Flipsyde

(Chorus)
If we can't live in peace then fuck it let's die
They aint tryin' to hear us then fuck it let's ride
Catch a traitor then stick a needle in his eye
Smash mode soilder we runnin' out of time

(Verse 1)
From Zumbi dos Palmares na mata fechada
To Commando Vermelho bustin at the cops with them choppas
Che Guevara and Castro bangin' in Cuba
To the Zapatistas and Latin kings that bust with that Rugger
We ain't forgot but baby boy that block still hot
People still broke they went from snortin' coke to that hop
Tryin' to escape and take your brain up up and away
And you ain't gotta worry about them bills that don't get paid
Ho's get made in the 7th 8th 9th and 10th grade
Studyin' that trickin' game as if they takin' a trade
Little brothers is getting smothered like potatoes and gravy
Got a name and street fame Jesus Christ couldn't save him
And he gonna ride until that day he gone
Slide him that black or chrome
Live in your facial erase you and hit that gas get gone
Why am I still in chains why am I still a slave
Why am I poor and broke strugglin' workin' minimum wage

(Chorus)
If we can't live in peace then fuck it let's die
They aint tryin' to hear us then fuck it let's ride
Catch a traitor then stick a needle in his eye
Smash mode soilder we runnin' out of time

(Verse 2)
Let me get a hit of that nicotine
Let me get a line of that na' mean
Let me get a sip of that Vodka Cran
Let a mutha' fucka' know who I am
Gonna get high cause the world is low
Let me start a fire cause the world is cold
Cut the barbed wire get inside and ride
Tear this shit down spittin' line for line
Once I get in it I vowed that I'd finish
I'm wild till the ending no smile when I'm spittin'
And fuck Thanksgiving cause I ride with the heartless
And fight for my Goddess the hardest of artist
That's given em' problems
And fuck your congress

(Chorus)
If we can't live in peace then fuck it let's die
They aint tryin' to hear us then fuck it let's ride
Catch a traitor then stick a needle in his eye
Smash mode soilder we runnin' out of time

(Verse 3)
He worked for 30 years retired now he's checkin' to check it
The corporation got richer from his bleedin' and sweatin'
The government ain't got no safety net he ran out of blessings
And they cuttin' social security cause they don't respect him
So now he sits on the curb wanders 'round
Sleeps on the ground walks for miles
Couldn't pay his bills so he lost his house
And that's what the deal is all about
Either get rich or you gonna' get pimped
Either shout first or you gonna' get hit
Land of the free and home of the brave
Land of the G's and home of the slave

(Chorus)
If we can't live in peace then fuck it let's die
They aint tryin' to hear us then fuck it let's ride
Catch a traitor and stick a needle in his eye
Smash mode soilder we runnin' out of time

(Chorus)
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide

(Verse 1)
When the time tic Pipe rhyme sick
Call em' Jorginho Pull a dime chick
Run with a click like Al Pacino in the God Father
Bitch why bother fahgetaboutit
I'll bang ya grand daughter if she in college
Don't ever doubt it keep it cracked open like crack flowin' in western Oakland.
Tryin' to stack somethin' from rap bustin' and keep on goin"
Like a drive by I ride high
With 90 guys that shoulda died high from bad vibes in 95
But I surprise guys
Never been thuggin' robbin or muggin doin' my thizzle
But kept under you gotta love 'em bodies is missin'
Sleepin' with fishes feedin' the worms
If I ain't eatin' then I ain't concerned
I'm out of time

(Chorus)
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide

(Verse 2)
Now I'm breathin inhalein' for the first time
Heart beatin keepin' the rhythym as I rhyme
And I can't take a second cause it ain't mine to take from dawn to late
I'm riding the wave It's my fate singing
I'm ready for love I'm ready for hate I'm ready for shame bring it my way
Hey hey you touch me you feel me your my little lady from New Orleans
Smoke me down walk the streets with the ghost in the middle of the night
Just hey I'm headin' out West in search of faith in search of faith
And the pain stops when the rain drops its like sex 'n
Feelin' the beat from the heat and then keep flexin'
Next is continue stepin' and never stressin'
No second guessin' just believe
Receive the blessen'

(Chorus)
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide

(Verse 3)
I'm up at Bens Burgers Fuck what you heard of
Throw ya turf up on my CBR side show jerkin' and pickin' work up
On the sidewalk weavin' through cars doors is ajar
See them ghetto boys high as Uranus Saturn and Mars
This be the new Bay run in with pistols and lay 'em down
Cause ain't no new yay sufferin' shortages in the town
Bring in the new day when it's no politicians and cops and ain't nobody starvin' and broke and nobody
sellin' rocks

(Chorus)
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Yeah

From the womb to the world from the world to the grave from the grave to the heavens and my spirit
From the liquor to the drugs to the police and the thugs to my prayers and hope that he hears it
Little kids in the street Never sleep never eat Carry burdens of their mommas' and the papas' To the
hell on this Earth Gettin' hot gettin' worse Cause were cursed nobody can stop us
Take a look see the sights that I've seen See the lust see the greed jealousy and killin'
Walk the walk that I've walked All alone in the dark overtaken by this feelin' that I'm feelin' Touch
the hand that I've touched In the night what a rush turning blue so could and breathless See the bars
and the chains on your wrist on your brain Feel the pain of a grown man's death wish

[Chorus]
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more

[Verse 2]
That's right little mama just keep on walkin' to school
Don't stop and talk to them fools Tryin' to holla while they sippin' on brew Cause you're gonna lose
Got to stay focused keep your mind on your dreams
Don't get hypnotized by the bling deep inside you must believe and you'll succeed
Cause all we're given is a chance They play the music and we dance And ain't no way to make it last if we
don't stop and listen
It could be over in a flash When you killin' for that cash Flip an Apache and blast 'em with Tomahawk
missiles
Moqtada al Sadr Bin Laden Al Qaeda They all multiplyin' and hidin' and George can't find 'em
And even if he did and killed them then another would come
We makin' enemies faster than we could pick up a gun

[Chorus]
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more

[Verse 3]
From my soul to my heart From the ending to the start In between it's an art and I live it From one
person to the next All respect no regrets If you next you got it then give it
Share a hug share the love we can rise up above If we try we can fly up to the heavens
All my brothers and my sisters we can make it if we listen to each other and just keep on

[Chorus]
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
Is this all there is cause I don't want it no more
And I can see this change comin'
And I can see this change comin'
And I can feel this change comin'

(Verse 1)
Sunshine feelin' static through your body you don't know what's going on
Then a creep crawl the mind bends bet it all then cash in and be gone
Cause it's side corners and street lights caught in this haze and I here them callin'

(Chorus)
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home

(Verse 2)
I had a dream that everything wasn't the way it seemed
Martin was the President and Malcolm the VP
Bush wore a rubber and W was never born
We never bombed Nam and never went to Desert Storm
Little babies was birthed to ladies and grown men
Instead of gangsters and bitches not knowing were to begin
Because we born into this world to die trained to kill steal and lie
Raised to sin just to survive framed cause if we caught we fry
Somebody save us they said the saviors comin'
But if he aint got nuclear weapons he should keep on runnin'
Cause they bombin' the palaces churches and temples and mosques
We got the freedom of speech until yo ass get shot
Where's the train

(Chorus)
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home

(Verse 3)
Sometimes the candlelight is brighter than the sunshine darkness is long gone
Diggin' my soul still not knowing what's going on
Four in the morning a thousand miles away from home
Glassy and tight eyes reddish and off white oberserving the ice
Swimming in my cup until it's right cause it's midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin' it till I'm gone midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin it till I'm gone

(Chorus)
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home

Now you've been up and you've been down
Stayed strong even though daddy wasn't around
My mama through the thick and the thin beginning to end
And though I be sinning you keep me livin' with that love that you givin'
It's unconditional hey the sun shines when I see a smile on your face
My mama with the money and jewels the record and tours
I'd give it away if I could make your days happy days
And when my hearts broke and can't cope I'm comin' on home
To remember the reason why I was born
Cuddle up inside your heavenly arms you help me weather the storm
You love music so I put it in song.

She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me.

I wasn't born wild you know you raised me right
But the roads of Alabama called me into the night
From the coke and the weed and extacy
I'm lost in the streets but you still remain next to me
The blood that I bleed it flows through your veins
Even in my lowest point I can still hear your words to my brain
First time I was arrested mama's love was tested
I couldn't contest it so here's my confession your my blessing
Your the reason I believe your the reason I sing
Your the reason angels tangle me in heavenly things
It's been a long road so hard and cold
But you keepin' me warm with your heart of gold.

Cause She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me

You're the light at the end of the tunnel the break of the day
After the darkest night chasing all the evil away.

Your my flowers and sunshine cherries and red wine
Diamonds they can't find shining through hard times.

Your the angel on Earth the proof there's a God
The reason to keep on going your my light in the dark.

The first star in the sky and the last to leave
And when I'm travelin' through the night I feel your light on me.

Cause She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on...
Workin' on me.

(Verse 1)
And I'ma' drink and I'ma' dip and I'ma ride and I'ma' live
It's just the way that I play
And I'ma' think and I'ma spit and I'ma' fly and I'ma' give
Until the end of my day's
I'm skippin' stones 'till I'm lost in the world
Fall in love and then get lost in a girl
You gotta live life and aint no tellin' what tomorrow can bring
As long as you breathin' and livin' ya dream
You gotta live life + I'm packin' and leavin' travelin' and sight seein'
Writin' my name in the sand on the beach in the Caribbean
Hittin' the club give a pound and a hug to the thugs
Later on I'm makin' love on that bear skin rug

(Chorus)
Cause I'm skippin' town I'm skippin stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
And all I know is I'm alone

(Verse 2)
I feel the vibe inside me and I'm not gonna let it go
So come on and I'm laughin' and cryin' and buyin' time
I'm not gone let it go
So come on and I'm findin' a dime thata wanta good time and I'm not gonna let her go
So come on and it's all on the line but I'm still gone' shine I'm not gone let it go
Hey
Slow it down for a minute while I capture the sky
Surfing the clouds wind surfin' through a deep sea dive
The devil's tryin' to get up in my soul but I'm not gone let it go
So come on and I'm drinkin' this spiritual wine so he can't fuck with my flow

(Chorus)
Cause I'm skippin' town I'm skippin stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
And all I know is I'm alone

(Verse 3)
Keep on runnin' through all my days
He got a need for speed
But what you runnin' from playa
I think he runnin' from me
Take ya time and just relax
He ain't got time to take
Slow it down and think about it
He got moves to make strugglin' and scrapin' takin' chances attemptin' to make it
The time that was taken was tedious but fuck it we made it
Created much later now playin' n' singin' invaded with Piper n' Dave
And the angels bout to make us the greatest
Somebody save us the shit that we spittin' soundin' ridiculous
Rippin' and gifted with lyrics flavored up more than licorice
Shift it and kick it with enough spittage to make it Sickenin'
Skippin' stones, mama I'm gone its time to rip this shit

(Chorus)
Cause I'm skippin' town I'm skippin stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
I'm skippin' town I'm skippin' stones
And all I know is I'm alone

Countin' trumpets on the wall firey flame will kill us all
And I hear trumpets ringing in my head before I go to sleep
Takes me back way back when we were young and we were friends
Now I'm home alone smokin' cigarettes waitin' by the phone
Sweet Virgina blue skies early mornin' sunrise
I can see your spirit dancin' next to mine
[Chorus]
I know that you'll never be the same again
We can just roll on down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be just never be alone
I know that you'll be there when I will say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Hold on tight baby lean when I lean
Both arms tight lady follow my lead
Let your hair down feel it blow in the breeze
I'm a' take you to a place that you'll never believe
Riding on the wind disappear in the sky
Never ask why spread wings and fly
Sunbathe in the sunrays and dream
Listening to Dave play and Stevie sing
[Chorus]
I know that you'll never be the same again
We can just roll on down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be just never be alone
I know that you'll be there when I will say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Countin' trumpets on the wall firey flame will kill us all
And I hear trumpets ringing in my head before I go to sleep
Takes me back way back when we were young and we were friends
Now I'm home alone smokin' cigarettes waitin' by the phone
Sweet Virgina blue skies early mornin' sunrise
I can see your spirit dancin' next to mine
[Chorus]
I know that you'll never be the same again
We can just roll on down this road my friend
I know that you'll never be just never be alone
I know that you'll be there when I will say goodbye

Verse 1:
Please accept my apologies, I wonder what would have been.
Would you have been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes.
I paid for the murder before they determined the sex,
choosing our life over your life meant your death.
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes,
sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life.
Would you have been a little genius? In love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your poppa The Piper?
Would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skin tone and shape of your nose,
and the way you would′ve laughed and talked fast or slow.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would′ve been.
Happy Birthday

Chorus:

What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seemed
Happy birthday
What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seem
I made a mistake

Verse 2:
I got a million excuses, as to why you died.
And other people got their own reasons for homicide.
Who′s to say it would′ve worked and who′s to say I wouldn′t have
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad.
The fear of being my father has never disappeared,
I ponder it frequently while I′m sippin′ on my beer.
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
so when it came time to create, I made a mistake.
But now you got a little brother, maybe it′s really you.
Maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused.
Maybe, every time that he smiles it′s you proudly
knowing that your father′s doing the right thing now.
I′ll never tell a woman what to do with her body,
but if she don′t love children, then we can′t party.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would′ve been.
Happy birthday

Chorus (2X)

Bridge:(2X)
And from the Heavens to the womb to the Heavens again.
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin.
Maybe one day we can meet face to face,
in a place without time and space.
Happy birthday.

Chorus
