Be Mine by Ellie Goulding ft Erik Hassle
It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain
There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again
Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you walk
As I'm watching you walk away
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
It's a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried
It's a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
And you never were
and you never will be mine
No you were never were
and you never will be mine
For the first time there is no mercy in your eyes
And the cold winds hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away, away
And I am helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
Cause you don't see me like I wish you would
Cause you never were and you never will be mine
No you never were and you never will be mine
There's a moment to seize every time we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mine
No you were never were and you never will be mine
There's a moment to seize every time that we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mineIt's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain
There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again
Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you walk
As I'm watching you walk away
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
It's a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried
It's a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
And you never were
and you never will be mine
No you were never were
and you never will be mine
For the first time there is no mercy in your eyes
And the cold winds hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away, away
And I am helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
Cause you don't see me like I wish you would
Cause you never were and you never will be mine
No you never were and you never will be mine
There's a moment to seize every time we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mine
No you were never were and you never will be mine
There's a moment to seize every time that we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mine

Re: Lyrics Thread
Who's to blame for the state I'm in
I play my cards but somehow I can't win
[Verse 1:]
Listen when life leaves you beaten up
Don't lay around in it, hurry pick them pieces up
Cling closely to the people you love
They're your umbrella when the weathers tough
See to it that your head is up
If not just remember this
Just never let your chest and your chin touch in public
Those that stand against us would love this
Man fuck them, something's bugging em'
They feel inadequate or something and that's been dug in em'
So deep they can't stand someone else making shit
Player hatred, same concept created Satan
Play em, no never mind let em play their part
They're here to make us prove we are what we say we are
We say we are the hard hearted
Been discarded from everything we've ever been part of
They just robbed it
Unguarded, tormented and tortured
And got nothing but scars and grey hairs to show for it
Fuck that, every stone that's ever been cast or blow that ever landed
Helped to build that man that's standing before your bitch ass
And back to wreak havoc and never retired, retreated or recanted
I, don't expect you to have stood where I'm standing
Why, repsect is the only thing I'm demanding
Try, you and I could build this understanding
You can't honestly shake unless you know where my hand's been brother
[Chorus:]
This is a piece of my puzzle now
Through the years I found peace in my struggle now
If we were put here to carry a great weight
The very things we hate are here to build those muscles
This is a piece of my puzzle now
Through the years I found peace in my struggle now
(Who'se to blame for the state I'm in - Yours truly
I play my cards but somehow I can't win)
Listen I was taught that mistakes made with great intentions
Were never sins but where life lessons begin
Now that I'm 27, single father starting over yet again
I am who I have to forgive
Lost my mumma to cancer, closed a 10 year chapter shortly after
Can't deny that was some shit
Alone in this life would've been at my throat with a knife chop
Were it not for my passion to live
Follow my soul, not that I don't know the penalty
But that's the legacy that I pass to my kids
Heard of shining in the heat of the moment
And won my freedom the moment I realised that's what this...
[Chorus]
I can't believe my eyes Lord
I don't know what I'm seeing
I done watched them smash into little pieces everything I've been building
I can't believe my ears Lord
I don't know what I'm hearing
I heard they smash into little pieces everything I've been building
Who'se to blame for the state I'm in
I play my cards but somehow I can't win
Brother Ali- The Puzzle
I play my cards but somehow I can't win

Intro - Brother Ali - talking]
Yeah, yeah, I love it
I love it, yes I do
Uh, let me get one more, check this out right here
[Verse 1 - Brother Ali]
Started rhymin just to be somebody
To make people notice me at the party
And not be just the new kid that's Albino
Make 'em say "yeah I know but have you heard him rhyme though?"
Now take that same party around the globe
And my story connected with a lot of folks
I hope so 'cause that's the only thing that I know
I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed
And I go with the feeling from the start
Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart
And to me all y'all look exactly the same
Fear, faith, compassion and pain
And try as we may to mask, it remains
Such as your religion or your past or your race
The same color blood just pass through our veins
And tears taste the same when they splash on your face
The World's gettin too small to stand in one place
It's like we're roommates just sharin a space
Can't separate and still carry the weight
Gotta heal, get away from the fear and the hate
Gotta shake free from them chains
You see what remains, just a human being end of the day
Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane
Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm sayin
Uh, I started rhymin just to be somebody
I found out that I already was
'Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free
There's no me and no you, it's just us
"Street Preacher" what a fan once called me
I've been called worse and tried to live up
Hope you don't mind a few more stories
I swear to God y'all, I tell 'em with love
Brother Ali - Us
Yeah, yeah, I love it

In Good Hands - Outlandish
Trials and tribulations
Nomatter what happens
Allways remember
In the end we all in good hands
regardless
Im talking bout years
Fullgrown tears
loosing ur self in the spotlight and fears
Young and restless he dont care
Doesnt listen to the fam
But with his peers he all ears
Walking from one shaking floor to another
He out the window
suddenly
The wind blows
His face shows
For a second hesitation
Then of he go
Yesterday is gone and its tale has been told
Today new seeds are growing to be old
Like flowin.. water, why oh why oh why oh why oh why
Do fathers have to cry though in good hands we know we are?
Oh why?
Good good hands
Dont you know my friend
Good good hads
We just leave each day behind
Free from sadness, free of strife
Good good hands
Walking from one shaking floor to another
Brother, It´s your own son
Tossed up, unsecure still thrilled
Hanging there for a second .. time aint healing everything
I .. watch the sky - hold ya breath .. looking down .. aint no stress
thinking whut kept me from thanking the Most High,
this world n the next,
grabbin my first child...
Yesterday is gone and its tale has been told
Today new seeds are growing to be old
Like flowin.. water, why oh why oh why oh why oh why
Do fathers have to cry though in good hands we know we are?
Oh why?
Believe me, it aint really worth it
We all do mistakes man
Aint nobody perfect
Remember u in my du´a, down goes my forehead
Everytime I swear I luv u like my own fam..
Don´t let them get to ya
It´s just a phase u going through
Screamin.. out on the top of your lungs, aint nuttin shameful
Whatever happens, man, happens for a reason, man
The hardest war to win is against ya self
Not your own fam..
Un momentico
Contestame, temes a vivir?
No puede ser, manten la fe
Respira bien profundo
Te conosco eres fuerte y cada brisa lleva rumbo
Se que la tormenta sopla en contra tuya
Paciencia
No dejes que la lluvia mate tu inocencia
Ven a mi y llora aqui en mi hombro
Free from sadness, free of strife
Free of pain, gotta free my mind
Forget your figuring, forget yourself
Listen to the brain of ya heart my friend
Trials and tribulations

Re: Lyrics Thread
Bart and Homer's car sliding up into the parking lot of the Ye Old Ramp Inn.
Inside, Bart and Homer walk along several performers.
PERFORMER: He really loves me---
HOMER: There she is. Hey, Princess. It's me, the guy from the snapshot.
He walks over to her. She is dressed like an angel and quite embarrassed.
PRINCESS: Oh. Oh, hi.
STAGE MANAGER: Places, ladies, places. Can I get just a little cooperation? It's show time.
HOMER: Look, I'm here because I want to apologize for treating you like an object.
PRINCESS: Uh-huh.
HOMER: I also want my boy to find out that you're more than just a belly. I want him to meet the women behind all the spangles and glitter and find out that she has thoughts and feelings too.
PRINCESS: Oh, well, okay. But can we make it quick?
BART: Nice to meet you, ma'am.
HOMER: Could you tell him a little bit about yourself?
PRINCESS: Well, uh, my real name is Shawna Tifton.
HOMER: Uh-huh.
Suddenly, the platform she's on begins rising. This is some kind of play or performance in the inn...and Homer's part of it!
PRINCESS: My pet peeve is rude people.
HOMER: Uh-huh.
PRINCESS: And my turn-ons include silk sheets and a warm fireplace.
HOMER: Thank you very much, ma'am. We'll be on our---.
He turns around and slips off the edge. He hangs on with one hand. It turns out to be a cage of some sort.
In front of the curtain, performing for the audience, is a singer.
SINGER:
I've heard them say so often
They can love their wives ooh
But I think that's just foolish
Men must have hearts...made of stone
Now my heart is made
Of softer stuff
Behind the curtain, Homer still hangs nervously.
BART: Cool, man.
PRINCESS: Get out of my cage. My boss will freak out.
She begins trying to hit his fingers with her shoes, hoping her hands will slip.
HOMER: Oh, no!
SINGER: A pretty girl can't look my way without...
HOMER: Don't! Don't!
She continues trying to tap him.
HOMER: Don't! No.
PRINCESS: Get out. Get out of here. Get your hands off.
She hits him in the face several times and he screams.
SINGER:
A new romance...
Oh, I could love a million girls
And every girl a twin...
The curtain rises behind the singer and the show begins with the females dancing. The audience cheers wildly.
SINGER: Oh, I could love a Chinese girl, an Eskimo, or---
Princess finally hits Homer and he's sent falling down to the stage. He crashes to the steps and rolls down, much to the surprise of the audience and the dancers. Bart looks attentively at every hit.
SINGER (silently): Get off of my stage, fat boy.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hey, it's the guy from the picture!
Everybody begins to wave and cheer for Homer. Burns sits among them with two ladies by his side.
BURNS: Homer Simpson!
The singer chuckles.
SINGER: Sorry, partner. I didn't recognize you at first. Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to have a real swinging cat with us tonight. Homer Simpson, party guy.
The singer hugs Homer as the audience applauds. Bart claps silently on the sideline.
SINGER: Mr. Maestro...
The piano player starts to play.
SINGER:
Oh I could love a million girls
And every girl a twin
Yeah I could love a Chinese girl
An Eskimo or Finn
I could dig a Deutschland chick
A girl with golden curls
In fact I think that we could love...
HOMER: About a million girls!
The singer bows down to Homer and the girls start dancing around him.
HOMER: Heh. Hey! Ooh. Look out. Yeah.
BURNS: How does he do it, Smithers?
SMITHERS: He's a love machine, sir.
HOMER: Da da da, da da da da....
BART: Way to go, Dad.
Homer and Bart look into each other's eyes.
HOMER: Uh-oh. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Stop the music. Quite, please. I have something to say. Quiet.
Marge's long hair is seen poking through the audience.
BURNS: You with the hair, down in front.
Marge's face is revealed.
MARGE: Oh, no. He's sunk even lower.
HOMER: I have something to say to all the sons out there. To all the boys, to all the men, to all of us. It's about women and how they are not mere objects with curves that make us crazy. No, they are our wives, they are our daughters, our sisters, our grandmas, our aunts, our nieces and nephews. Well, not our nephews. They are our mothers. And you know something, folks? As ridiculous as this sounds, I would rather feel the sweet breath of my beautiful wife on the back of my neck as I sleep than to stuff dollar bills into some stranger's G-string.
Princess starts crying from her position in the cage.
HOMER: Am I wrong? Or am I right?
Everybody begins sniffling.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: My wife gets the cutest little thing, right here, when she smiles.
He points to a spot near his eye.
Another member takes out a picture of his baby.
AUD. MEMBER 2: This is my Suzie.
AUD. MEMBER 3: Oh, she's so cute. Here's mine.
SINGER: You know, my mom sounded a little down the other day. I'd better give her as call.
MARGE: Homer!
HOMER: Marge.
She is in tears as they run at each other. Homer swings her around and hugs her. They kiss on the stage.
BART: All right, folks. Show's over. No more to see, folks. Come on. Only sick people want to see my folks kiss.
Inside, Bart and Homer walk along several performers.
PERFORMER: He really loves me---
HOMER: There she is. Hey, Princess. It's me, the guy from the snapshot.

Re: Lyrics Thread
So -
In the beginning there was hum
From a poet whose pulse fell
Drum drum drum!
He would perform prayers and all
Till one day he heard a voice call
Come come come!
Suspicious he moved with vicious caution
Dismisses, he thinks it's a little off
People get held back
By the voice inside them
Yo -
The voice said I'm poised to speak inside you
Rejoice and please let me invite you
To evil, greed and lies too
Yeah -
Confusing days he moved in ways he soon became a kuuni
Boom boom boom
And knock on his door his lord is no more
And knock on his door his soul is no more
La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- as the story goes on
La la la la-
So so so -
The poet's got a proposal
He would always hope but never know
What it feels to be free
He would be the frozen imposed as the chosen on all those opposing
But he would be greedy
That's got him there
He's power hungry and proud too
People don't care, people just scared
People don't care, people just prayer
La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- there was a hum
La la la la- and things change
La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah -
Say -
It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks
Like freedom
Freedom for the mind and soul
We don't see them
See them for their worth at all
That's why we lead them
Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them
Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them
Treat them like the enemy humanity will need them
Need them like the blood we spill and where freedom
Freedom for the hearts we fill
Mislead them
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat them
The cops beat them when all he wants is his freedom
So they defeat them
Whatever spirit he's got
Beat them
And they teach them that the rest of the world don't need him
And he believes it's a disease that he's heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -
La la la la- That was in the beginning
La la la la- And things change
La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah -
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on...
In the beginning there was hum
From a poet whose pulse fell
Drum drum drum!
He would perform prayers and all
Till one day he heard a voice call
Come come come!
Suspicious he moved with vicious caution
Dismisses, he thinks it's a little off
People get held back
By the voice inside them
Yo -
The voice said I'm poised to speak inside you
Rejoice and please let me invite you
To evil, greed and lies too
Yeah -
Confusing days he moved in ways he soon became a kuuni
Boom boom boom
And knock on his door his lord is no more
And knock on his door his soul is no more
La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- as the story goes on
La la la la-
So so so -
The poet's got a proposal
He would always hope but never know
What it feels to be free
He would be the frozen imposed as the chosen on all those opposing
But he would be greedy
That's got him there
He's power hungry and proud too
People don't care, people just scared
People don't care, people just prayer
La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- there was a hum
La la la la- and things change
La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah -
Say -
It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks
Like freedom
Freedom for the mind and soul
We don't see them
See them for their worth at all
That's why we lead them
Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them
Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them
Treat them like the enemy humanity will need them
Need them like the blood we spill and where freedom
Freedom for the hearts we fill
Mislead them
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat them
The cops beat them when all he wants is his freedom
So they defeat them
Whatever spirit he's got
Beat them
And they teach them that the rest of the world don't need him
And he believes it's a disease that he's heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -
La la la la- That was in the beginning
La la la la- And things change
La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah -
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on...

Re: Lyrics Thread
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza,
This is for the child that is searching for an answer,
I wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter,
Long live Palestine, Long live Gaza!!
While we listen to tunes, made by ignorant fools,
Israel blocked the UN from delivering food,
They'll bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news,
They make money of the products that we are quick to consume,
It's not simply a question of differing views,
Forget emotions, this is fact, what I spit is the truth,
Makes no difference if you're a Christian or if you're a Jew,
They are just people living in different conditions to you,
They still die when you bomb their schools, mosques and hospitals,
It is not because of rockets, please god can you stop it all,
I'm not related to the strangers on the TV,
But I relate because those faces could have been me,
Words can never ever explain the raw tragedy,
It's not a war they're just murdering more rapidly,
We are automatically supporting pure savagery,
Imagine how you'd feel if it was your family,
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza,
This is for the child that is searching for an answer,
I wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter,
Long live Palestine, Long live Gaza,
Palestine remains in my heart forever,
We stand for peace, in times of war we shan't surrender,
Remember, it didn't start in that dark December,
Every coin is a bullet, if you're Mark's and Spencer,
And when your sipping Coca-Cola,
That's another pistol in the holster of a soulless soldier,
You say you know about the Zionist lobby,
But you put money in their pocket when you're buying their coffee,
Talking about revolution, sitting in Starbucks,
The fact is that's the type of thinking I can't trust,
Let alone even start to respect,
Before you talk learn the meaning of that scarf on your neck,
Forget Nestle,
Obama promised Israel 30 billion over the next decade,
They're trigger happy and they're crazy,
Think about that when you're putting Huggies nappies on your baby,
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza,
This is for the child that is searching for an answer,
I wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter,
Long live Palestine, Long live Gaza,
This is not just a war over stolen land,
Why do you think little boys are throwing stones at tanks?
We will never really know how many people are dead,
They drop bombs on little girls while they sleep in their beds,
Don't get offended by facts, just try and listen,
Nothing is more anti-Semitic than Zionism,
So please don't bring bad vibes when you speak to me,
I know there's plenty of Rabbi's that agree with me,
It's your choice what you do with this message,
Don't get it confused; I view this from a truly human perspective,
How many more resolutions have to be violated,
How many more children have to be annihilated
Israel is a terror state, there terrorists that terrorise,
I testify, my television televised them telling lies,
This is not a war, it is systematic genocide,
But whatever they try, Palestine will never die!!!
Lowkey- Long Life Palestine

Re: Lyrics Thread
Reminiscing
Look at old pictures of me and you
Smiles, love and hugs
two innocent faces staring back at me
Felt like a lifetime ago
feels like that is not me
because compared to what I feel right now
It can’t be
Compared to how much you hurt me
that cant be you
with your arm around me
I just feel like erasing you out
like a magic rubber
But i feel scared I will loose everything
or maybe I don’t want to admit
I already have.

Re: Lyrics Thread
They wonder why the caged bird sings
But even worse a pain
Is the bird with lead wings
It’s like I’m on my own town
But can’t speak the language
Crowded to the point of suffocation
Still feel stranded
What bandage could heal scars invisible
Existing is easy it’s living that is difficult
It’s like a ritual
I get close to believing
Then I put a fortress up to close in my feelings
Dreaming, so close to achieving
Then I throw it all away
Cos I’m scared to receive it
Living every day in my shadow
I find my resolve
When the cold night swallows that shadow
I travel through the landscape
Searching for why
But the question follows everywhere I go
Like the sky
You don’t understand my soul
Well neither do I
Chorus:
It’s just something inside my head
Won’t set me free
Won’t let me be
It’s just something inside my head
Comin in between you and me
It’s just something inside my head
Verse 2
I wasn’t born this way
My condition was learned
Once bitten twice shy I don’t wanna be burned
When you travel a passage
That leaves your heart ravaged
Your mind waxes placid to limit the damage
Your reaction is passive
Whether you like it or not
You cannot win whether you fight it or not
Your brain swallows the pain and buries it instead
Now..
[Chorus]
It’s just something that guides my
Something that drives my
Something inside my head
Verse 3
I offend myself then avenge myself
And pretend it helps to defend myself
I believe myself then deceive myself
To retrieve myself I don’t need my help
Whether the brave myself or slave myself
It’s strange every day I’m not the same myself
I love myself then I hate myself
[Chorus]
Akala- Something Inside My Head.
But even worse a pain
Is the bird with lead wings
It’s like I’m on my own town
But can’t speak the language
Crowded to the point of suffocation
Still feel stranded
What bandage could heal scars invisible
Existing is easy it’s living that is difficult
It’s like a ritual
I get close to believing
Then I put a fortress up to close in my feelings
Dreaming, so close to achieving
Then I throw it all away
Cos I’m scared to receive it
Living every day in my shadow
I find my resolve
When the cold night swallows that shadow
I travel through the landscape
Searching for why
But the question follows everywhere I go
Like the sky
You don’t understand my soul
Well neither do I
Chorus:
It’s just something inside my head
Won’t set me free

Gangsta Gangsta with a "A" not a "ER"(x3)
Cuz All I Gees I know are part of the revolution.
(stic. Man)
Its Not A Word to be claiming jus cause it sound cool
The Game's so twisted today for lack of ground rules
Is A Man of his word a man for action?
Never Begging or Complaining he make it happen
It's not the image they selling us on the tv screen
Its A suvivor, a rider provide by any means
Moving stragey outsmarting his enemies
Ready to give his life, you still wanna be a g?
It's not something you claim just because you from the hood
Everything twisted the game is so misunderstood
Used to be a protector, man of the people
Now they most followers man, where are the leaders?
A ghetto superstar is cool but I kno something harder
You dont know gangsta till you know about Bunchy Cater, Aunty Asota, Soondiati Ecoli
Not to disrespect their legency buts dats the real OG's
The one who has the biggest mouth to be the biggest coward
No time for pety beef a gee is about getting power
Thats why you can only be down after initiation
SO nigga's know how you response in different situations
(Chrous)
Gangsta Gangsta with a "A" not a "ER"
Cuz All I Gees I know are part of the revolution.
(Styles P)
He was a mean one nah he was born one
He dont ever say a thing when the law comes
He dont need a posse of brothers that act wild
He works a Hard Job and tries to raise a black child
He breaks bread with his people like Jesus did
He tried to explain to the children what the evils is
Knows the spots where the crack, coke and diesel is
Did some time in the pen now he diesel kid
He know the penile system is part slavery
Knows that the judge on the stand is where the pagan be
Knows freedom is priceless it takes bravery
He knows I aint an animal but they caging me
He plays DP thinking about his DP's
Wish he had a hundred guns headed up to DC
He wants change like Obama did
Probably lived where your mama lives
(M1)
Is is the bandana, the hat, the loafs or the gatt
I tell you off the bat hell nah it aint none of that
It aint the smell of the chronic the broken ebonics
They be the main ones poppin that shit but they dont want it
Willing to live or to die for what he believe in
He know the code of the streets you cant decieve him
A gangsta's word is his bond you must respect that
He keep his flag and his rep well protected
Is it the bankroll? The bulletproff tank? no
Look at his tattoos the women about to faint so
He could of went to jail but been the biggest snitch Or
He could when you trust your loyality you switch
(Chrous)
Gangsta Gangsta with a "A" not a "ER" (x3)
Cuz All I Gees I know are part of the revolution.
(Stic. Man)
It aint just Easy,Dre,Ren,Cube and Dela
It's also Nina, Sarah, Billy, Betty and Ella
G is the seventh letter, G is for gettin better
A G is a go-getter, A G is tougher than leather
Gangsta Gangsta with a "A" not a "ER"(x3)
Cuz All I Gees I know are part of the revolution.
