And we should have lunch sometime
And we can lie to each other

So come on man be with your peers.

Half a block
16 heartbeats works for everyone,
I return dying could I expect another
You know it seems to me,
At least it seems to me now,
To be a little out of reach,
And all the while, I carn't get over,
How all my time, I carn't do it over,
And as my spirit grows,
Colder and colder,
Yeah salvation I know her,
I'm just a half a block away from salvation,
I'm just a half a block away from it all,
I'm just a half a block away from redemption,
And I'll be damned if I can make it that far,
Yeah, I know how you feel,
I've lived there for years,
It's cold and it's real,
You better get out the loop,
Cos the loop's gonna get ya',
You better get on out the loop,
Im just a half a block away from salvation,
Im just a half a block away from it all,
Im just a half a block away from redemption,
And I'll be damned if I can make it that far,
And all the while I carn't get over,
How all my time, I carn't do it over,
And as my spirit grows,
Colder and colder,
Yeah salvation I know her,
Im just a half a block away from salvation,
Im just a half a block away from it all,
Im just a half a block away from redemption,
And I'll be damned if I can make it that far,
Swashbucklin in Brooklyn
My man was workin at the seafood spot
Sellin fish n chips and dealin bags of pot
Dressed in a pirates uniform and all
Lookin like a fool headin for a fall
He was walkin home late one night godbless
Heard the scream of a woman in immediate distress
??????
he headed down the alley hoping for the best
he saw the girl who was screamin her mouth beat shut
two guys standin by her bout to get fucked up
he said you don't hit the bitches while I'm still alive
stabbed on in the neck the other in the eye
the girl ran home told her daddy she was saved
by a pirate with a shiv and a real smooth way
the vision of the pirate would surely never fade
so she called the New York post and tried to get paid
chorus
super hero your my super hero
super hero your my super hero
Now the story ran the following day page two
But swashbucklin in Brooklyn is all he want to do
I tried to sit him down and think things through
But swashbucklin in Brooklyn is all he want to do
Now he was havin problems like diving without drowning
The city the cops the mob trying to stop him
He needed a psychic thats where I came in
Tell his story to the world help him with his shit
We cruise down the river patrolling the docks
Deliverin justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots
This kinda shits ??? had no choice
Doin it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory
Chorus x 2
super hero your my super hero
super hero your my super hero
We cruise down the river patrolling the docks
Deliverin justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots
This kinda shits ??? had no choice
Doin it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory
Chorus x 4
super hero your my super hero
super hero your my super hero
Bump
I was working at the club in 1995,
Sunday was the night that the gay club came alive,
See I would carry ice,
And the crowd was just so nice that my phobia drowned,
While I was getting down,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
Gay night, it's alright, don't be uptight,
See half way through the evening
I saw this women gleamin' from across the room,
She was with some guys,
But when they gave me the eyes
I knew she was just their friend,
We went out all weekend,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
Gay night, it's alright, don't be uptight,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
Gay night, it's alright, don't be uptight,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
Gay night, it's alright, don't be uptight,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
I met the finest girl of my life, that night, at gay
night,
Gay night, it's alright, don't be uptight,
Microphone fiend
I was a fiend (fiend) before I became a teen
I melted microphones instead of cones of ice cream
Music orientated so when hip-hop was originated
Fitted like pieces of puzzles, complicated
Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say - Yes y'all!
They tried to take it, and say that I'm too small
Cool, cool 'Cause I don't get upset
I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet
Back to the lab without a mic to grab
So then I add all the rhymes I had
One after the other one, then I make another one
To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done
I get a craving like a fiend for nicotine
But I don't need a cigarette, know what I mean
I'm raging, ripping up the stage and
Don't it sound amazing 'cause every rhyme is made and
Thought of
Cuz it's sort of an addiction,
Magnetized by the mixing
Vocals, vocabulary, your verses, you're stuck in
The mic is a drano, volcanoes erupting,
Rhymes overflowing, gradually growing
Everything is written in the cold, so we can coincide,
my thoughts to guide
48 tracks to slide
The invincible, microphone fiend
Rakim
Spread the word 'cause he's in
E-F-F-E-C-T
A smooth operator operating correctly
But back to the problem
I gotta habit
I ain't a solving it, silly rabbit
The prescription is a hypertone that's thorough when
A fiend for a microphone like heroin
Soon as the bass kicks, I need a fix
So gimme a stage and a mic and a mix
And I'll put you in a mood or is it a state of unawareness
Beware, it's the reanamator
A menace to a microphone, a lethal weapon
An assassinator, if the people ain't stepping
You see a part of me that you never seen
When I'm fiending for a microphone,
I'm the microphone fiend
After 12,
I'm worse than a Gremlin
Feed me Hip-hop and I start trembling
It's the thrill of suspense that's intense, you're horrified
But this ain't the cinemas of "Tales From the Darkside"(darkside)
By any means necessary, this is what had to be done
Make way 'cause here I come
Fisty cuts material, material
Call imperial, call imperial
It's a must that I bust any mic you hand to me,
It's inherited, it's runs in the family
See I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back,
If that don't slow 'em up,
I carry a full pack.
Now I don't want to have to let off, you should of kept off
You didn't keep the stage warm, so step off
Ladies and Gentleman
You're about to see
A past time hobby about to be,
Take it to the maximum,
I can't relax see,
I'm hype as a hypochondriac 'cause the rap be one
Hell of a antidote, something you can't smoke
More than dope, you're trying to move away but you can't, you're broke
More than cracked up, you should have backed up
For those who act up need to be more than smacked up
Any entertainer, I got a torture chamber
One on one and I'm the remainder (remainder)
So close your eyes and hold your breath,
And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death (death)
Before you go, you'll remember you seen
The fiend from a microphone,
I'm the microphone fiend, fiend, fiend, fiend
The microphone fiend, fiend, fiend, fiend .
The microphone fiend, fiend, fiend
I'm a mic, I'm a mic, I'm a microphone fiend, fiend, fiend
I'm a mic, I'm a mic, I'm a microphone fiend, fiend, fiend
My sin
Within this box there is a gift
And with this cane I concentrate
And with these shoes I go flying
'til the demons all wake up
And come to grips
And I take my sin
Down to the street
To be judged
And then I'll let it go
(2 X)
The water's blue,
And rushes past me
And through the clouds I will lament
And if I call I will deliver
Or crack my head on the cement
And I take my sin
Down to the street
To be judged
And then I'll let it go
(2 X)
(Yeah I'll let it go)-[after second time only]
And I take my sin
Down to the street
To be judged
And then I'll let it go
(2X)
(Yeah let it go now)-[after second time only]
Underground
For me it's hard to say
(hard to say, hard to say)
And this might not be the way
And if you want to stay
My ghetto prince is smiling underground
And it makes me feel good to know you died
(died, died)
And this may not be the time
(time)
See I drank two things of wine
But I think that you will find
(find, find)
And my ghetto prince is smiling underground
My ghetto prince is smiling underground
Ain't got no guarantee
And I know it's hard to see
But there's a little more to me
(a little more to me)
And my ghetto prince is smiling from underground
Yeah my ghetto prince is smiling underground
But only for a while
(a while)
I still think I need your smile
(smile)
All the while
(while)
And my ghetto prince is smiling underground
Yeah my ghetto prince is smiling underground
Now this may not be the time
(time, time)
Cause I drank two things of wine
But I think that you will find
(find)
She's my friend
I got outta town
Like I knew I should
I got outta town
Like I knew I would
But when I close my eyes
And the dawn don't come
I think to myself
What a disgrace I've become
(Chorus 1)
But she won't fail me
Cause she's my friend
And she won't rat me out
I'm her boy till the end
And she won't fail me
Even when she hates me
I use to think a lot
But now I watch the grain
I use to fall in love
With shit like subway trains
And although my liberty
Has been taken away now
I take it all, I take it all day by day
(Chorus 2)
But she won't fail me
Cause she's my friend
And she won't rat me out
I'm her boy till the end
And she won't fail me
Even when she hates me
Even when she hates me
I get the fallen down
About twice a week
Say I'm all fucked up
(all fucked-up)
I know talk is cheap
But when I close my eyes
And the dawn don't come by
I think to myself
What a disgrace I've become
(Repeat 2nd chorus)
There was a time
Dickholder
The only easy day is yesterday,
Go on and pull me underwater,
I know you really can?t be that blind son,
But I think you think you?re that much smarter
It makes it that much more defined (?)
Now cough it up and call your mother,
I see you just can?t find the time,
But time found me without much bother,
I saw that boy become a man,
He bathed in blood just like his father,
And while in golden gloves and gown (?),
He found he wasn?t that much smarter
Now what?s in you that is your own,
Not something you found on the highway,
I remember that time so long ago,
When you bought your soul and threw a party
Now paint your face, take to the trees,
There?s more to you than just your cover,
You?ve got them all down on their knees,
You?ve got them fuckking one another
You Djed blue and you Djed black,
So long as they count to a thousand,
Now get it on, don?t break your back,
And don?t walk through the public housing (?)
Now, hey, Dickholder who?s your man?
The scraps you catch ?????? past the table,
You make it all sound like your plan,
But what you do to get that label?
GUITAR SOLO
Now, hey, Dickholder who?s your man?
The scraps you catch ?????? past the table,
You make it all sound like your plan,
But what you do to get that label?
DICKHOLDER!
Little song
I fell from my road (?)
My vision is cloudy,
The outlook, is lousy,
I hope I find the strength to go on,
I fall to my knees,
To look for an answer,
Find out what the chances are,
That I?ll make it on home,
CHORUS
I think of how it all went wrong
Down that shitty part of town,
It keeps me up all night long,
And despite my little song,
Life keeps, going on
And despite my little song,
Life keeps, going on
I?ll go to my grave,
Knowing you loved me,
And the cards life had dealt me,
Weren?t so bad after all,
Well, I have been wronged,
And Lord I?ve been deceived,
But the love I gave to you,
Was twice received
CHORUS
STRING and WIND SOLOS
CHORUS
Replace ?wrong? with ?down? for this chorus
REPEAT ?Despite my little song, life keeps going on? 3 times
