I kept holding back the tears because I have nothing to fear
I kept holding back the tears because I have nothing to share
The negative energy around me is making me feel unhappy
Days in and days out they make my spirit shout
My body temperature is rising from the deep and it is making my sprit leap
I watch the morning and the evenings racing in front of me and my courage bubbling up inside of me, nobody has asked me how I feel
But they are always looking for something to eat, they drain my spiritual energy with their profound illiteracy, impolite cries are falling from
The skies and sooner or later someone is going to die
The air is stagnant with cuss and my spirit is rising from the dust
I can feel a peculiar heartbeat and my emotion swinging out into the deep.
The pregnant sky is rolling over my head and the rain clouds are
Standing by, the day is sliding away and making its mark in the day.
My stomach is growling, and birds are looking for preys. I can hear the engines rolling and the people start running, smoking is bellowing from the sky and universe is marching by.
Roll pressure point roll, roll the drum around the town, listen to the shallow beat and pass the message around the streets
Let down your frantic gown and shake your body around the town
Deliver a humble spread and cover the entire bed, roll pressure point roll
And put on your husband gown and disguise yourself in the middle of the town.
I have been saying to myself that the price to roll the dice is an awful
Sacrifice, it causes an arm and a leg, and it will raise your passion up to your head. Follow your routine and accomplish your dreams. The nights are cold the task is loud but the heavens will warm your spirit with a glow, get ready for the final show.
Where would I be without you?
Would I really be on the path that I am now?
Or would my path be a different one
Would I have a straight head on me?
Because it’s easy to fall short where I’m from
Never ever stopped me from doing wrong
Just let I and my conscience know
That it was wrong and I shouldn’t do it
And I think that’s what made me grow
Watching and following how you
Would tell me to take annotative and think
How you accept me like a brother
And wouldn’t dare to let me sink
At the same time you were there for me
No matter if it was right or was wrong
And always stayed by my side
While having my back all along
Every time I called you answered
And you, I would literally give an arm and a leg
And for it all not to change
To you I would plead and I would beg
But change is inevitable
Its one of life’s many laws
But I pray that it doesn’t change
And for that I pray to God
Though we fight and get critical on a daily
And at times we can be hurtful
Know that only you can get to me
Because you’re already in my circle
But I refuse to let anyone else
Get to you in any uncomfortable way
And I really mean that with my heart
And not just with these words that I say
And with these words that I speak I would like to say I LOVE YOU
To my friends those who help me stay on the righteous path that my parents put me on and I love them for that and also thank and appreciate them for what I have learned from them
you're no uncle to me
i earn my money and you take it away
you're just another word for organized crime-
who says that crime don't pay?
i work every day in the american way-
and what do i get?
a little bit farther behind
a little bit further in debt
and i can't get ahead of the bills-
no matter how hard i try
well who do you think you are
jerkin'me 'round and takin' all my pie
you got to pay rent,cable and lights
and the telephone too
and it costs about an arm and a leg-
just to drive my car
so by the end of the month i'm kinda feeling the crunch
don't know if i'll make it through
'cause on what i earn and what you keep on burnin'
i aint gonna get too far
and you're no uncle to me
i earn my money and you take it away
you're just another word for organized crime
who says that crime don't pay?
knowing how the economy is
you can't help expecting the worst
when your cash flow is blowin away-
like a leaf in a breeze
meanwhile i'm still in the race but it looks like the rats-
are gonna be coming in first
all i can say is-
brother can ya spare a piece of cheese?
and you're no uncle to me
i earn my money and you take it away
you're just another word for organized crime-
who says that crime don't pay?
How I've moved on, you'll never know.
When I'm gone, how will you run the show?
Someone else has come, to show me the way.
You didn't want some, you wanted more everyday.
My broken stories, made her cry.
My faltered glories, continue to die.
On your lips stained red, my kiss lingers.
You've pushed me past dead, past heaven's singers.
As I reached for a hand, I pushed past you.
It is now I demand, to learn what is true.
For the past few days, I only think of her.
Your every decieving ways, make me unsure.
I thought I had a chance, I thought us pure.
But in this final dance, I found my cure.
It was just at a glance, I found love obscure.
Her name etched in my brain, unlike your plague.
Your lies so insane, cost me an arm and a leg.
I feel your presence, dancing inside my head.
I take your pestilance, and leave you for dead.
Oh I take my heart, and grasps hers too.
The tear drops start, when I leave you.
I took her by grace, I took her in fear.
I only see her face, I wish to hold her dear.
Should I take a chance, should I take her heart?
Could we now dance, before the heartache starts?
Oh my dear friend, this is our start and your end.
Blood leaking from my nose,
A probable prologue to my death.
And it blows.
The lows,
Lately I’ve been peaking at my lows.
A dishonourable rest forever forebodes.
My heart keeps faking pounds and it shows,
Why boy are you a “shy boy”?
Wear a lie boy but it seems that they know.
Fashionable is not tolerable,
Your best however,
Your best just can’t keep up with the woes.
The worst lies heap upon lies,
Until the truth is a memory disposed.
Tomorrow costs an arm and a leg,
Temperance must foster within your mind to maintain your growth.
The days over,
Night comes with dark creeping at my neck.
My temperament lost,
It’s not easy to find the might to compose.
You fight though because tomorrow is close.
You fight,
Tomorrow is close.
Trust the pass,
Trust the path and endure the stress.
Give in and rest,
Forget the past just to regret the joke.
More or less dangle above grass,
Ensure your silhouette glides,
Endure the last breaths before you choke.
A probable prelude to my death,
The last breaths before the doze into rest.
What a joke.
With my tongue planted firmly in my cheek...
We certainly can't all be movie stars
Who'd be left to go to the show
I don't mind being the one to sacrifice
It's not about the big heaps of dough
Yes, the sacrifice would be a mighty one
But I'm prepared for life as a star
Maintaining my charm and humbleness
Which will certainly take me far
I'd live in a mansion in Beverly Hills
But I wouldn't forget my roots
You people could visit me any old time
It certainly won't cost you much loot
Normally I'd charge an arm and a leg
But for you folks it'd just be an arm
What the hey, you've got more than one
No reason to get so alarmed
It would go to a very worthy cause
To provide me with the life I deserve
For entertaining all you very sweet folks
You think I'm throwing you a curve?
How could you think so badly of me
When have I lied to you before?
I'm as straight and honest as the day is long
You've hurt me to the very core
Okay, okay, I must come clean
I'm yanking your chain a wee bit
The reason I've decided to do this for you
So you'll remember when I'm a big hit

Oh, how I long to touch you
it’s just that “I’m all thumbs”
and you deserve much more than just
a few remaining crumbs!
“An arm and a leg”, I would give
for one more chance, you see
But then again, if that's the case,
just where would we be?
You know that “I’m all ears”
for any thoughts you’d share
But for a man “all thumbs and ears"
just why would you care?
“It’s as plain as the nose on your face!”
I need “all hands on deck”
But with my lips, (I just have two!)
I could kiss your neck
“Ants in my pants” I hear you say
But just what would you know
As you’re the one here “all dressed up
with nowhere to go!”
“If all that glitters is not gold”
and I’m “all talk and no action“
Take off the makeup and go tp sleep
We’ll get no satisfaction!
The nights are cold but still the heat is on
mourn for who? Why seek ye the living among the dead
you been fed so why let the hungry starve
everything has a price an arm and a leg is what freedom cost
Laws were meant to be broken by the very men who claim to uphold them the most
America is no democracy it's hypocrisy
has been seen from beyond the seven seas please
spare me the cliche dreams that my country men
strive and work so hard for, to save millions of dollars
that we wont spend, so self righteous and westernized
we don't recognize our own sin, our problems we wish em away
drown em out sorrows and cast them out in some recycling bin
The flesh is tainted, lust is never satisfied
even what you see is far from correct and because we fail to ask why
or look in the mirror we overlook the number one suspect
turn our heads away from domestic genocide
but cry for justice when the victim is black or white
let's have a candle light vigil for those of you who remain quiet
instead of making sure these criminals get indicted
Had we but oil enough and gas,
All welfare bill would easily pass,
And we’d be spending hard, I bet,
Without incurring any debt.
You, on the Moon, would keep your bees
And tend to Martian refugees;
And I would sleep all day, in mirth,
Upon the lap of Mother Earth.
And I would send such cash to you
As to convert a die-hard Jew.
And I would pay an arm and a leg
To have my raincoat hung on a peg.
And to unpeg it, as it goes,
I’d pay, most gladly, through the nose.
But in my yard, each morn, I see
No oil or gas in front of me.
No one sends manna from the skies;
Not even Salomon the Wise.
Before you give, you first must have:
There are no bulls where cows don’t calve.
It’s good to have a kingly heart,
But spendthrift kingdoms fall apart.
Therefore, as we cannot grow rich
By drilling ground or digging a ditch,
We’d better find another way
To safely make ends meet today.
Let us make haste and use our strength,
For only then shall we, at length,
Reboot our brains, by lies undone,
And set them free, and make them run.
The eye's seen enough
The heart's beat a lot for the bluff
Of the joyful hope of sorrow
That’s promised for every morrow
By the driver of the land's wealth—
Who's covered the land's breath
Like the spreading sky.
Over many years of false
The land still remains
Like that of yesterday
Poverty kills a lot under
Your table—the record of life.
The crying eye sees
Time is getting older
We see unity as our weapon
Even you act like deaf master—
Who does not hear the cry of his servant
Why!
Why always making the poor to face the sun?
Why remembering us the root we came from?
Why making us like a beggar
Struggling out of mansion without stick?
In your time,
Education was free
Did we commit offense
That's made our time
To have an arm and a leg?
This ’s the unanswered question
We have kept asking.
Come back comrades!
It's time to light our candle!
Walk in street to street!
Move from door to door!
Shift from gate to gate!
With the beautiful song
Aluta continua!
Victoria acerta!
