Today

[Everlast (Bronx Style Bob)]
Yesterday - just a dream I don't remember
Tomorrow - still a hope I've yet to indulge
I'm out of time, I'm out of rhyme, I'm out of reason
Season's change and leave me out in the cold,
The story's old, the tale been told by many scholar
Got a fistful of dollar and pocketful of love
God above if you hear me cryin'
I've tried to sell my soul but no one's buyin'
Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'
(Lord strike me down) (3x)
It's gettin' cold, it's time for dyin'

[hook]
Come on and watch me shine
Like the world is mine (check it out) today
Come on and watch me shine (check it out)
Like the world is mine today
Watch me shine (check it out)

Let the man who's free from sin
(Free from sin)
Cast the first stone and begin the violence
(Begin the violence)
Let the man whose words ring true
Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence
(Through the silence)
Let the ones who lose their way
Live to see just one more day in the sunshine
(La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa)
Let the ones who choose to stray
Recognize the prize they'll pay In their lifetime
(In their lifetime) (2x)

[hook]

Sittin' you wait for my roads to cross
You nail me down and you watch me bleed
(Watch me bleed)
So lay my head against the earth
Plant my body like a seed
(Plant my body like a seed)
You can't always get the things you want, love (check it out)
(Tell me what you want)
Get what you deserve or maybe what you need
(Uh, tell me what you need)
So fill my hole with precious dirt, love
Till the soil and part the weed

[hook]



Put Your Lights On

[intro]
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on (repeat)

Hey now, all you lovers
Put your lights on (repeat)

Hey now, all you killers
Put your lights on (repeat)

[main verse]
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on
You better leave your lights on
'Cause there's a monster
Livin' under my bed
Whisperin' in my ear
'n there's an angel
With her hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear

There's a darkness
Livin' deep in my soul
Still got a purpose to serve (on and on)
So let your light shine
Deep into my hole
'n God don't let me loose my nerves
Don't let me loose my nerves

Hey now (echo repeat)
U-oho, hey now
Hey now (echo repeat)

[intro, repeated]

[main verse, repeated]

She say:

[outro, 2x]
"La ilaha il Allah" *
You oughta shine like star (on and on)

Let me fade away...

(* this is the Shahada, translated: There is no god but God)



What It's Like

We've all seen the man at the liquor store begging for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fucking slob" is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues.

[hook]
Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (4x)

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said "Don't worry 'bout a thing, Baby Doll, I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man, I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a sinner and they call her a killer and they call her a whore
But God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

[hook]

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes
'least a couple of times
'fore I broke they heart
You know where it ends, yo
It usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max, he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late, he liked to get shit faced and keep pace with thugs
'Til late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head
Pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when you play the game
But God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (3x)
To have to lose...



Jump Around

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin, I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up, punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump up touch the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust'em in the eye, and then I'll take the punks ho
Feel it, funk it, amps in the trunk y'all
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are Dunkin' Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill plus my mom and my pops

[hook]
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around (3x)
Jump up, jump up and get down
Jump (repeat)

I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smackin' the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
'Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun (shotgun)
But if you do you're a fool 'cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your bill
'Cause when I shoot to give, I shoot to kill

[hook]

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a Terminator, like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try and play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't goin' out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the "Dawn of the Dead"
I'm comin' to get ya, I'm comin' to get ya
Spittin' out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

[hook]

Jump (repeat)

[outro/Joe "The Butcher" Nicolo diss, missing in select mixes]
Yo, this is dedicated
To Joe "The Biter" Nicolo
Grab that bozack, punk



Only Love Can Break Your Heart [Neil Young cover]

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone
I was always thinking of games that I was playing
Tryin' to make best of my time

[hook]
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
And live your world sure from the heart

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found

[hook]



Some Nights (Are Better Than Others)

[intro, x2]
Some nights are better than others
Some fights are left to bum brothers

You know the freaks come out at night with the drama
I'm a break it down, take it down, learn it
Roll it up, burn it, think it
Stir it up, drink it, swallow it
Follow it straight to the heart of the matter
Program the data, turn on the lights
Watch them all scatter, from the shine off the glean
Course by my team, it's the high pro glow
One for the show, two for the handgun
Three, the one you man run when it's time for the action
All the stories you told are bound to get old
When your hands ain't as fast as the words you flippin'
Word to Scottie Pippin, got to be trippin'
You must have been slippin', or want the ass whippin'
It's time to start flippin'

[hook, x3]
Some nights are better than others
Break it down to the bare root essence
Some fights are left to bum brothers
Count your fingers then count your blessins

They say blood runs thicker than water
Mothers to sons, bullets to guns
Hard times a spreadin', just like the flu
The voodoo child don't need to be raised
I'm no kid act wild son, you might get blazed
Like an acid hit, I rock classic shit
That can make your head bump, put some shake in your rump
This ain't Forrest Gump but I got mad rhyme
Why you shoot that gun, I'm a shoot this gift
Leave you internally perplexed like the question if
Some hit the spliff, some of y'all sniff
Some clap the hammer when they pull a four fifth
But most of y'all fry, kid let's be blunt
You try to be the man I be on the man hunt

[hook, x8]



Hot To Death

Boy, let me breakin' it down (Yeah)
You got to know the feel
'Cause them (triple eyes) will break out the hypertest steel on ya, boy,
And you got to know the life
Yeah, feel the life, you know what I'm sayin', you know what that's like (Hey)
You know that, come on!

Say what's gone wrong, you know it just ain't right
Tell me who be left when the spark ignite
From the break o' daylight to the fall of the sun
You gotta pick your fight it's time to choose your gun

[hook]:
Front to back, right to left,
Keep it live all night, make it hot to death
Get your heart pumpin' like some crystal meth
Keep it live all night, make it hot to death

(Well)
(Hey)

Tell me who's your God? Does He make a lotta dough?
Will He take you higher, or to the fire below?

[hook]

Guns to roses, Abraham to Moses,
Daylight exposes what the night conceals
Let's break these seals and get this thing started
Some be outclassed and some be outsmarted
Some be overwhelmed by the blinding rays
And hear the whisper in the night, get trapped in the maze
See, back in the days when I was juvenile
I dreamed of rockin' on the mic in a brand new style
Now I'm shakin' these bones tryin' to get these shoes
I've been in major coos, I've paid crazy dues
Now I'm speakin' on music, a slap on knee
A rumor start spreadin' just like a disease
I'll have you down on your knees be b'low the spot ground zero
Turn brown and burn down Rome just like Nero
A hero ain't nothin' but a
(listen)
don't make me say it again
Don't make me say it

[hook]



Blues For X'Mas [John Lee Hooker cover]

Blues for X'Mas
Baby, I ain't got a dime
Blues for X'Mas
Baby, I ain't got a feakin' dime

I'm just ain't and they're wasted
I hang my head down baby
I'm cryin'
Baby, I'm cryin'

Santa Clause
Bring my Baby back on home
See, I ain't got a lot of money
But my baby she's rich enough for us both

Blues for X'Mas
I'm as blue as I can be
Blues for X'Mas
Baby, I'm as blue as I can be

I'm just in here drinkin'
Tryin' to drink my Baby back to me
Tryin' to drink my Baby back

Santa Clause
Bring my Baby back on home
Blues for X'Mas
Ain't no time to be home all alone
I can't lose these X'Mas Blues

Baby, I just can't seem to shake off
Held so many arms
All I seem to do is break 'em
Yeah, break 'em
I said I break 'em, Baby
