PROSPEKT'S MARCH
There's a wild wind blowing Down the corner of my street Every night there the headlights are glowing There's a cold war coming On the radio I heard Baby it's a violent world Oh oh love don't let me go Won't you take me where the street lights glow? I can hear it coming I can hear the siren sound Now my feet won't touch the ground Time came a-creeping Oh and time's a loaded gun Every road is a ray of light It goes on Time'll leak and lead you on Still it's such beautiful night Oh oh love don't let me go Won't you take me where the street lights glow? I can hear it coming Like a serenade of sound Now my feet won't touch the ground Gravity release me And don't ever hold me down Now my feet won't touch the ground [ back ] Instrumental [ back ] Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the lines And he asked "Will I see heaven in mine?" That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh they say you can see your future Inside a glass of water The riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine? Oh oh oh oh I Son don't ask Neither half full or empty Is the glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on a wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Television selling plastic figurines of leaders Saying nothing at all And you chime Stars in heaven align Oh oh oh oh I Son don't ask Neither half full or empty Is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast Oh what are we drinking when we're done? Glasses of water [ back ] Then there was rain The sky wore a veil of gold and green Night is the bride of a lonely day Time just floated Then there was rain The sound foundations are crumbling To the ground comes a pyramid tumbling Time just floated away We can watch it and stay And we can listen Oh rainy day come round Sometimes I just want it to slow down And we're separated now And oh but I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house Then there was rain I spent the night with the queen of Spain My lonely little heart well it broke again Time so vicious The deeper that the knife goes in The more you win You end up with less than where you begin The deeper that the knife goes in Oh rainy day come round Sometimes I just want it to slow down We're separated now And oh but I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house And I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house [ back ] Smoke is rising from the houses People burying their dead I ask somebody what the time is But time doesn't matter to them yet People talking without speaking Trying to take what they can get I ask you if you remember Prospekt how could I forget? Drums! Here it comes Don't you wish that life could be as simple As fish swimming round in a barrel when you've got the gun? Oh and I run Here it comes We're just two little figures in a soup bowl Trying to get behind some kind of control But I wasn't one But here am I on my own in a separate sky And here I lie on my own in a separate sky I don't wanna die on my own here tonight And here I lie on my own in a separate sky [ back ] Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm across Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved No better and no worse I just got lost! Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along will come A bigger one And you'll be lost! Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh and I'm just waiting til the firing's stopped Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off [Jay-Z rap] Aha, I got you, uh With the same sword they knight you They gon' goodnight you with Shit, that's only half if they like you That ain't even a half what they might do Don't believe me? Ask Michael See Martin, see Malcolm See Biggie, see Pac See success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus See success is like suicide Suicide, it's a suicide If you succeed prepare to be crucified Media meddles Niggaz sue you, you settle Every step you take They remind you, you ghetto So it's tough being Bobby Brown To be Bobby then you have to be Bobby now And the question is, is to have had and lost Better than not having at all? Because... Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off [ back ] Lovers In Japan (Osaka Sun Mix) Lovers keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers you've got to soldier on Sometimes even the right is wrong They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now And I have no doubt One day we're going to get out Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohohoh ohohoh ohoh Dreaming of when the morning comes They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now And I have no doubt One day the sun will come out [ back ] Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground Let me go boys, let me go Push my boat from the highest cliff To the sea below Rocks are waiting boys If rocks await Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey Now my feet won't touch the ground Now my head won't stop You wait a lifetime to be found Now my feet won't touch the ground Now my feet won't touch the ground Now my head won't stop You wait a lifetime to be found Now my feet won't touch the ground Now my feet won't touch the ground [ back ] |
