Hoe voel jij je nu uitgedrukt in (song)teksten? Deel 30

Beetje kinderachtig misschien, maar deze tekst drukt mijn gevoel wel uit op dit moment

Zonnestraaltje


Laat de regen nu maar komen
haal er al de wolken bij
niks weerhoudt mij van m'n dromen
als ik dicht bij jou ben

laat de koude wind maar waaien
hij heeft geen effect op mij
want ik sta in lichterlaaie
als ik dicht jou ben

twee warme hartjes en een paraplu
maken keer op keer
zelf het mooie weer

refrein
jij bent mijn zonnestraaltje
jij brengt de zomer dichtbij
mijn eigen zonnestraaltje
dat ben jij
jij bent mijn zonnestraaltje
bij jou voel ik me zo blij
mijn eigen zonnestraaltje
dat ben jij

ik ben niet bang als dondert
trek me niks van bliksem aan
elke dag is al een wonder
als ik dicht bij jou ben

ijzel, vorst en hagelstenen
niks kan me nog kan verslaan
ik hoef zelfs geen jas te lenen
als ik dicht jou ben

twee warme hartjes en een paraplu
maken keer op keer
zelf het mooie weer

refrein 2x

ik hoef niet te kijken naar het weerbericht
want ik kan het voorspellen met m'n ogen dicht
als de weerman het heeft over sneeuw of mist
weet ik vast en zeker dat hij zich vergist
ik heb lak aan het lagedrukgebied
want het raakt m'n koude kleren niet
en ik hoef geen lang en saai verhaaltje
want ik heb m'n eigen zonnestraaltje

twee warme hartjes en een paraplu
maken keer op keer
zelf het mooie weer

refrein 2x

jij bent mijn zonnestraaltje

Ze hoort hoe hij de trap op komt
Hoe hij zachtjes in zich zelf praat
Z'n sleutels uit zijn jaszak haalt
En ze drie keer vallen laat

Ze hoort de sleutel in het slot
De deur die toch al open stond
Ze weet z'n schoenen in z'n hand
Ze hoort zijn schoenen op de grond

Hij zal niet zeggen waar hij was
Zij zal er niet over beginnen
Ze is van buiten nog zo sterk
Maar zo moe van binnen
Morgen is ze weg

Want ze heeft het wel gehad
Zo gaat het nu al jaren
Ze weet niet eens meer zeker
Of zo ooit gelukkig waren
Maar morgen is ze weg
Morgen is ze weg

Ze ziet hem door haar wimpers heen
Hij heeft een lichtje aangedaan
Nu krijgt hij z'n bloes niet uit
Want hij heeft z'n jas nog aan
En ze ruikt hem als hij naast haar ligt
Met open ogen, op z'n rug
Hij mompelt weterusten
Zij zucht iets onverstaanbaars terug

Hij zal niet zeggen waar hij was
Zij zal er niet over beginnen
Ze is van buiten nog zo sterk
Maar zo moe van binnen
Morgen is ze weg
Morgen is ze weg

Al zo veel nachten zo gelegen
Al zo vaak bij hem weggegaan
Al zoveel anderen ontmoet
En als zo vaak niet gedaan
Maar morgen is ze weg
Morgen is ze weg
Is ze weg

Ze heeft het wel gehad
Ze heeft het lang genoeg verborgen
Lang alleen zal hij het niet redden
Dan zal een ander voor hem zorgen
Maar morgen is ze weg
Morgen is ze weg

Of anders overmorgen

When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could tou ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

I'm Luke, I'm five and my dad's bruce lee
drives me round in his JCB

I'm Luke, I'm five and my dad's bruce lee
drives me round in his JCB

I'm Luke, I'm five and my dad's bruce lee
drives me round in his JCB

I'm Luke, I'm five and my dad's bruce lee
drives me round in his JCB

The Strokes - Ask me anything

quote:

Right, wrong, what to do
Someday it will come to you
Hostile Indians,
We named a summer camp for you

I've got nothing to say
I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say

Harmless children,
We named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut,
God is trying to talk to you
We could drag it out,
But that's for other bands to do

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say

I've got nothing to give
I've got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive
I've got nothing to hide,
Wish I wasn't so shy

I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead

I've got nothing to say

I've got nothing to give
I've got no reason to live
But I will kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide,
Wish I wasn't so shy

It hurts...

I want you
I want you
You’ve had your fun you don’t get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling you might fall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said young man I do believe you’re dying
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It’s the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It’s the way your shoulders shake and what they’re shaking for
It’s knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It’s the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
I want you
I want you
The truth can’t hurt you it’s just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we’ll let it drop
I want you
I’m afraid I won’t know where to stop
I want you
I’m not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you
You’ve had your fun you don’t get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I’m going to say it once again ’til I instill it
I know I’m going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you

I only want you
When I feel like you get too close I put you right down
I never really leave I just slip away
And it's not my purpose to break your spirit
I'm not really interested in what's in your heart
I don't want you to fall in love now so please don't start

Chorus:
I only want you (4x)

I know that it's terribly cruel but then I like it
Because you tried to love me I just can't stay
And I'm not gonna lie just to spare you feelings
Cuz watching you suffer feels much better to me
I'm about to lay destruction on you
I'm not the lover man that you want me to be
I said well...

(CHORUS)

Now you see once you get too close
I put you right down
I never really leave I just slip away
But it's not my purpose to break your spirit
I'm not really interested in what's in your heart
But now I have to lay destruction on you
I'm not the lover man that you want me to be
I said well...

I want someone badly
Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new

But (a) little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right

Now I, I want someone badly
Could it be true
That someone is you (ooooo)

I want you between me and the feeling i get when i miss you,
but everything here's telling me i should be fine,
so why is it so, it bothers below that im missing you every time?

i got used to you whispering things to me into the evening,
we followed the sun, and it's colours, and left this world,
it seems to me, that i'm definately, hearing the best that i've heard,.

so throw me a rope, to hold me in place,
show me a clock, for counting my days, down,
cos everythings easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me,
cos i feel alone.

and whenever you go it's like holding my breath under water,
i have to admit that i kinda like it when i do,
oh but i got to be, unconditionally,
unafraid, of my days, without you,

so throw me a rope, to hold me in place,
show me a clock, for counting my days, down,
'cos everything easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me,
whenever i'm falling, you're always behind me,
come back and find me,
cos everythings easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me,
cos i feel alone

Have I ever truly loved
Does the rain and sun sprout seeds of stealth
I'm waiting patiently for the day
When I let the world turn by itself
Till the moment when I'm dancing
Like no-ones watching

But I'm held hostage in a dream
Held hostage in a sleep
Following a shadow of a shadow
Held hostage in a dream
Following a shadow of a shadow

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
the things you'll never do
But,
I wish someone had a talked to me
like I wanna talk to you..

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
and, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places
and friendly faces
because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me..

Please lady, please, lady
don't just walk away
'cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart
that has lived million lies..

Ooh I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things
that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise,
but I've never been to me..

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie.
A fantasy we create about
people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding and
it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you're going to make love with tonight
that's truth, that's love..

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me..

I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me..

"The Hardest Part"

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part

And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart

And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it’s all about
I wonder what it’s all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart

Oh and it’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

bijna bijna raak of te wel helemaal helemaal mis

I've still got sand in my shoes

Tomorrow's back so I come down to sanitation
went to bath and than cleaned up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
And take my time
Take all my time

The marijuana got my karma glowin
Gold armor, surround my body
I'm reachin a high state of nirvana
But wanna chop and imitate
To bite, the livin spirits
Golden livin tablets
Transmitted by the Abbot
Blood related king to King David's mighty men
I appear in the atmosphere like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon
dioxide,
helium, xenon, argon, neon, freon, be gone
I travel beyond
The range where sick sounds grave
You can't respond
Dynamic semantics makes your mind go frantic
Hand picked Gods
Razor sharp be my standard
Breakin from bondage and white garments
Eye ball as black as onyx
Hair gonna grow as long as a comet's tail
Escape from Hell
Watch the Gods be real
What makes rain and hail, snow and earthquakes?
Goin through crisis, or mad devices
I thought girls was made of sugar and spices
Always wanted to fuck 'em like Isis
While others bow down, Percival, Cyrus
I'm inside my lab stabbin rhymes on black papyrus
Your weight couldn't measure a snow flake
How you gonna shine on a God while you rotate
I dislocate your head, your neck, your back, your legs, your kneecap
Back smack your ass bitch
And splatter your gall bladder
My mathematical data
Terror far beyond the stars of William Shatner
The rattler can't deport on my speed of thought
That escapes New York or East London on import

overcome by your moving temple
overcome by this holiest of altars
so pure, so rare
to witness such a lovely goddess

i lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your holiest of altars

i'll sell my soul, my self esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss
one taste of you my magdalena

i've beared witness to this place, this lair, so long forgotten
so pure, so rare, to witness such a lovely goddess

and i'd sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss,
one taste of you my black madonna


i'll sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time

for one taste, one taste
one taste of you my magdalena

Ik ben vandaag zo vrolijk, zo vrolijk, zo vrolijk
Ik ben behoorlijk vrolijk, zo vrolijk was ik nooit
Ik was wel vaker vrolijk, heel vrolijk, heel vrolijk
Maar zo behoorlijk vrolijk was ik tot nog toe nooit

Soms ben ik ongelukkig, ontzettend ongelukkig
Soms ben ik ongelukkig, dan sterf ik van verdriet
Soms ben ik wat neurotisch, psychotisch en chaotisch
Labiel en neo-gothisch, maar vandaag dus niet

Vandaag ben ik zo vrolijk, zo vrolijk, zo vrolijk
Ik ben behoorlijk vrolijk, zo vrolijk was ik nooit
Soms ben ik ongelukkig, ontzettend ongelukkig
Soms ben ik ongelukkig, dan sterf ik van verdriet

Soms ben ik wat neurotisch, psychotisch en chaotisch
Labiel en parasotisch, maar vandaag dus niet
Ik ben vandaag dus vrolijk, zo vrolijk, zo vrolijk
Ik ben behoorlijk vrolijk, zo vrolijk was ik nooit

Daar sta je dan
's Avonds twintig over elf
Op een strand
Sigaretten weg te werken
Even eruit
Dat was alles wat je wou
Even alleen
Want je had zoveel te verwerken
En kijk eens aan
Daar staat de grote denker
Aan het werk
Op de grens van land en zee
De achtste dag
Dus vier dagen te gaan nog
Terwijl het leed wel was geleden op dag twee

Naar huis
Naar huis
Ik wil naar huis
Naar huis

Het leek zo mooi
Even wat tijd voor jezelf
Maar je hebt jezelf niet zo gek veel te vertellen
Dus je staat maar op
En sleept je naar het strand
Tot het moment komt dat je eindelijk mag bellen
Maar niet vandaag
Dat mag pas morgen
En dat komt eigenlijk door wat ze gister zei
Ze zei: 'Lief, als je niets hebt te vertellen
Dan hoef je niet te bellen, volgens mij'

Naar huis
Naar huis
Ik wil naar huis
Naar huis

Je denkt: Kom op,
Genoeg om niets getreurd
Hou eens op met dat huilen naar de maan
Nog een kwartier
Dan is het twaalf uur geweest
Dus theoretisch nog maar drie dagen te gaan

Dan mag je naar huis
Naar huis
Je mag naar huis
Naar huis
Ik wil naar huis
Naar huis
Ik wil naar huis
Naar huis

Joe Jackson - Kinda Kute

Ya make a guy feel humble
I make a fool of myself again
Ya make me trip and stumble
Just go dance by yourself again
I'll just watch
'Cause that's all I wanna do
But remember
That I'm here with your drink
At my table for two

And you're kinda kute baby - kinda kute baby
See you dance in your satin suit baby
When you move gotta sit right down
No competition with
This kinda kutie around

I see ya pass by my window
Have to run down the stairs again
I fix my hair around a corner
Catch you unawares again
And you laugh
And you move that way again
Just like last night - oh yea that's right
I'm the guy with the big feet
But plenty of nerve

Het is zo stil in mij en de wereld draait maar door...

Music has charms they say
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it
Why don't they hold it back

You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
And we need the energy
If not the sympathy

But I'm brutalized by bass
And terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but
I always get caught in the middle

And I get tired of DJ's
Why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to
Play us
Play us a slow song

It's late - I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

I feel you touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you

But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

And I get tired of DJ's
Why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to
Play us
Play us a slow song

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
In sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Well, hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Way Out West - Mindcircus

Falling in,
Six hours from morning,
And falling in,
Sink me off to sleep

So come along within,
I think it's time to let me in,
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge,
And just a few more of your seconds,
And I need for me to repair
To neatly stand and spin it around in my head,

Oh can I please have some silence,
How about some space?
Can I have some space?

Almost, ready to drift now,
And I feel myself slipping inside you,
Oh just a little bit further,
before something drags me back,
You're so close,
I thought I nearly had you there

I'm so tired, I got to sleep,
I want to wake up from a dream,
I've had enough, I need to sleep,
I want to wake up without you, yeah

So come along within
I think it's time to let me in,
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge,
And just a few more of your seconds,
And I need for me to repair
To neatly stand and spin it around in my head,

Oh can I please have some silence?
How about some space?
Oh can I please have some silence?
Can I have some space?

Oh can I please have some silence?
How about some space?
Can I please have some silence?
How about some space?

R.E.M. - You Are The Everything

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down (say, say, the light)
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light)
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything

I think about this world a lot and I cry (say, say, the light)
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen (say, say, the light)
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful (say, say, the light)
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty (say, say, the light)
Of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down (say, say, the light)
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light)
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
For you alone you are the everything

Baby, it’s a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second
and pretend it’s me you want
Meanwhile I try and act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Baby, it’s a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
Yeah, yeah

I can hear something pounding in my brain
very time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sounding; I hear love in bloom
Every time that you walk in the room

Every time that you walk in the room

Oh yeah
Every time you walk
I feel a brand new way
Oh yes I do
Yeah, baby

Kosheen - Avalanche

he looks like me
but not so haunted
eyes like the sea in storm in torment
how can a body so frail contain this spirit
this creature I see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
I’ve been high enough
to get to where I want to go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
I’ll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow I know

he looks right through me
so unprotected his only legacy, returned, rejected
so young so free, so old and ridden
oh what you see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
I’ve been high enough
to get to where I want to go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
I’ll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow I know

he's nothing like me, so wrong and wretched
your safe reality is living in sketches
and live out happiness with no explanation
and peer out at the world

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
I’ve been high enough
to get to where I want to go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
I’ll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow I know

Snakes


(feat. Killah Priest, RZA, Masta Killa, Buddah Monk)

Now number two, practiced the snake style
He was known as the snake spirit
He had the speed of a snake

[Intro/Verse One: Killah Priest]

Niggaz is like serpents out there
(snake style, no one could compete)
Serpents will bite
Lay outside, and then they roll back into they holes
They slither, in the streets of Brooklyn, New York
Slither in the streets, of Manhattan
In the streets of Queens, streets of the Bronx
Streets of Staten Island
Wherever you see em they slither
Whoever... yo
Fearsome sh*t... check it out
Yo, yo

It broke me up when they pat me on my shoulder
Said stay strong cuz his life is now over
I flash back to the heathens that he roll with
They shot him up and down nobody knows sh*t
My peers, little ears
Came up to me with a eye full of tears
Last night we was shootin dice and gettin nice
Kid rolled us, played us for our merchandise
We were in the hallway all day
Me, Steve, and Little Ray
Probably at first they tried to rob me
Back me in the lobby, pull out the shotty
Then came Scotty, fragile body
My first impression, he returned from a party
He was just stagger, smellin like Bacardi
The Dragon, braggin, how he was f**kin mad hotties
Pressed on the elevator button, then all of a sudden
He licked off, about a dozen
Slugs from the cannon, that ripped through my cousin
Nobody was standin when the nigga started bustin
Blood started to flood the floors, by the elevator doors
That's the last thing that I saw
Damn, we plan to make grands of our home
(Number two)

[Verse Two: The RZA]

Jagged edge, rockin God, hard as Stonehenge
Pledged whoever crossed his path get scrapped with a sledge..
..hammer, he didn't give a damn about the manor
And on the block he was called by the momma's and the grandma's
Indecent, heathen, juvenile delinquent
His weekends was frequently, locked inside the precinct
His most recent cape for catchin papes
Was snatchin up snakes on a roof butt-naked hang em off like drapes
Then ask what's the combination to the safe, with the brace
And those who didn't reply they fell straight to their face
Razor blade sharp who invades the dark
And raid more spots than Spays and NARCS iron heart like Tony Starks
A fierce lion, who never leave the crib without the iron
And on the block he be slingin rocks and duckin from the sirens
Greetin niggaz he loved with a pound, and a bear hug
Those who wanted life, they catch a slug from the snub
A Five Percent, who all knew was one to ten
He loved the Gods with his heart but his brain was filled with sin
And when he came through niggaz be lookin out
Hopin he gets shot or tooken out, or locked the f**k up in Brooklyn House
In PC, on a liquid diet, but he was louder than a riot
(Number two, the snake)

[Verse Three: Masta Killa]

Do the knowledge to a nigga named Trigga
Bad rude boy from the land of Jamaica
With visions to venture, to the U.S.
To receive the gold that he couldn't acheive
In his country, even though he sold mad weed
For the next man, who was the Don of the clan
Niggaz actin like they got the block locked
Like I can't sling drug raps and eat food
But I be the rudest, bad boy steppin gun totin
Shots lash out like a violent explosion
At the nigga, who tries to stop my production
Intervene the scene and slow up the CREAM
None of that black, East New York, gun talk
Niggaz I extort from Baltic to Boardwalk
Memories of injuries wounds and burns
Walkin through the streets of Medina I stand firm
Cause I know this, which means I can hold mine down
Without a doubt, niggaz who front, get snuffed out
Justice must be born there's no escape
Cause a snake can't be reformed so I wait
Comin in the name to proclaim your fame for protection
And you don't know no f**kin lessons?
(Number two, the snake)

[Verse Four: Ol Dirty Bastard]

Bad, bad, Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than the deep blue seaaaaa
Badder than you and meeeeee
Niggaz comin thru the trees, like a salamander, bitin
Like a piranha, but I'm bitin you back, like a black pantha
The style I'm ampin the... f**k my name, who I be?
f**k the game, it's all about the moneyyyy!
Owahhaerahh, sometimes I get high with the Meth
Then I turn to the Killah Priest
When it comes TWELVE O'CLOCK!!
I turn into the demon beast, yo

Yo f**k that sh*t!
(number two, the snake)
YO! SHOW THESE MOTHERf**kERS WHAT TIME IT IS
(number two, the snake) Rawwrarrrah
Rahhwarwaahauh, rawwaroar!!
WHOSE THE BAD-ASS? *rawharrah*
WHOSE THE BAD-ASS?
(now number two) Rawwwaahrah
(he practiced the snake style
He was known as the snake spirit) YEAHhhhhh

[Verse Five: Buddah Monk]

Lyrics, never waitin, twelve days, penetrated
When I come with the ruffness, mad niggaz try to rush this
Slip into my killings, then I slays and you're helpless
When I try to stay sick, it's yacub grafted six
Calm for the kill, knowing the style that's ill
When I drop, lyric skills, brothers say, Buddah chill!!

[Outro: Ol Dirty Bastard]

I don't need to rhyme no more, niggaz know, yo!
To all the Wu-Tang Clan members
The Ghostface Killer, the GZA, the RZA, the Ol Dirty Bastard
The Method Man, the Chef - Raekwon, Inspector Deck, U-God
Yo!!!
