"Work It Out Lyrics"
Laughing Stock Lyrics
Laughing stock proves that the world is made of rock That some grow happily on, but that's hard for some You and your friend and all the rest of God's sweet children Never weak, always strong That's hard for some You ask me why You're just a couple of strangers in a bar Giving me the chance to explain myself away Some entertainment to give away In your eyes I see the rest of life just passes by
[1st Verse]
The temperature got tempers flaring people sweat when the weather hot
They argue and they fret a lot then set up the plot
To whet up the block
Wheter or not the blood is red up in the gutter
Music is my bread and butter
I got a show in Brooklyn cause the ghetto love us
Pulled up in Mtulu's truck I'm suited up I'm cool as fuck
security tripping on my baseball hat promoter knew what's up
Plus Chaps had on some denim shorts and white tee shirt and
I told the bouncer they being disrespectful cuz like you we working
I ain't a custy or a patron and trust me no one would be paying
To come in this crusty ass club if I wasn't playing
He's like "I'll put you the fuck out"
And when you put your word like that its like third strike black you struck out
His man tried to rush me from behind Chaps stuck out a size nine
Seen him trip face first int
Cats is cowards with no spine and they power tripping too
The next level is the violence so what y'all niggaz wanna
[Hook]
Work it out
We should try to work it out
People lie, people cry, people die to work it out
Read the book, pray to god
Look inside to work it out
We should try to work it out
Yo what y'all ladies wanna do
Work it out
To get fly she work it out
People lie, people cry, people die to work it out
Read the book, pray to god
Look inside to work it out
Show the love
Lose the hate
Work it out
Work it out
[2nd Verse]
Peolpe placed in situations they cant take and what they facing
Is the trials and tribulations to make them say the lords forsaken them
Their loved ones intervening but they always blaming them
For problems they don't realize what they part is in creating them
Like men who so ins
And women who think the proof that they man love them is they beating on them
Keep sleeping on them soon they partner creeping on them
Committing crimes of passion they in caskets mother weeping on them
With her head in her hands
There's only one thing that the dead understand that it's better to be alive
Now what you gonna do stick your head in the sand
You probably the type to fall for anything and take that instead of a stand
Now that's a mouse instead of a man
I cherish my role as the head of my fam
And on the road I meet incredible fans
I rock with singers an a DJ instead of a band we at a theatre near you
So what y'all niggaz wanna do
[Hook]
[3rd Verse]
Stay civilized when they try to kill my high I try to think through problems
Bring honesty to rap like Cam'ron brought the pink to Harlem
You could b
Tell the truth about the war and suddenly you linked Saddam
Hate the topic but the closet people get to patriotic
Is red bull white vodka mixed with the straight hypnotic
Paper prophets sell the revolution so they make a profit
Trust they got it fucked up with your taxes started making rockets
Take it off the top like politicians speaking proper diction
Stuffing dollars in they britches like they do a lotta stripping
Got the top position bitching about the quality of life
All that bullshit get exposed as soon as Kweli sees the mic
They cutting down the tree of life the sun rays is running out
The babies ain't eating right so the guns keep coming out
See how they play the streets an night slap the taste out your mouth
To show you what they work about
So what y'all niggaz want to do

Jaral Del Progreso Lyrics
Al caer la noche, La gente dorm?a, En Jaral el progreso termin?. La luna lo ocultaba, Nadie se lo esperaba, A jaral el infierno ya lleg?. Un mandato divino, Quiz? s?lo el destino, En Jaral el demonio apareci?. Abri? las cerraduras, Liber? a sus criaturas, ?Oh si el infierno comenz?! (PUENTE) Creyeron que Jaral – ?Estaba perdido! Pero estaban mal - ?Se equivocaron! Apar

RED NECK FRIEND Lyrics
Pretty little one How has it all begun? They're teaching you how to walk But you're already on the run Little one-- What you gonna do? Little one-- Honey, it's all up to you Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused Little one-- Come on and take my hand I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan Honey you shake and I'll r

ONE MORE ARROW Lyrics
Break the ice you can help me understand Take the night into your own hands Burn the flame ignite the love we used to know Learn to change we've got to let the past go Start to heal cause we don't have to fall Hearts that feel can have it all Chorus: Take one step closer let love start over Shoot one more arrow through my heart We'll come back stronger and hold on longer Shoot one more arrow through my heart<
e on the brink to stardom and suddenly you sink to bottomBreak the ice you can help me understand Take the night into your own hands Burn the flame ignite the love we used to know Learn to change we've got to let the past go Start to heal cause we don't have to fall Hearts that feel can have it all Chorus: Take one step closer let love start over Shoot one more arrow through my heart We'll come back stronger and hold on longer Shoot one more arrow through my heart<
