"The Streets Lyrics"
Harry Lyrics
Well hello pretty woman You're looking good With a yellow dot skirt And you're swaying hah You look as though you've ate your one last meal You're conceit is all thats left You can sing a spiel You used to hide away in kiosk land Let's find you out and loosen up You're so upset Making coffee for the poor machines Stipulate, copulate for all his schemes I have you You have me
Dear God.. how can I explain myself?
[J] Oh God bless me indeed
When I'm so confused
[J] Enlarge my territory
[J] Place your love and protection over me at all times
Help me!
[J] Keep me away from evil
Somebody answer me! [echoes]
[J] Allow me not to cause pain
[Jay-Z]
Police in the background, screamin put the thing down
That's how hard I was trying to put my thing down
Si-rens ringin out, old ladies screamin out
All this attention for me and I'm barely sixteen now
.. it's feelin like a dream now
Handcuffed, roughed up, I'm tossed in the bing now
I'm lyin next to fiends now, that's the end of the story
Let me bring y'all niggaz back to the very first scene now
December 4th, a child is born
Before I knew it, had my pops trousers on
That's how we do it when the man of the house is gone
You either, stand or fall, I chose to stan
The hawk outside, so I blow my hand
It's a cold cold world but I overstand
Tryin to stay focused but I feel hopeless damn
Can't cope with bein broke, I'm a man - c'mon
[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Son don't let these streets, get the best of you
I will be right by your side, when you goin through
Son just don't let it (just don't let it)
Just don't let it (just don't let it)
Just don't let it (just don't let it)
.. get the best of you
[R. Kelly]
Late one night I was, rollin the streets
Just, thinkin about what's goin on with me and
trapped in this thug life, tryin to break free but
this thug life just keeps callin me
I'm livin life way too dangerously
I'm drownin in my misery
Looked in the mirror, there's my enemy
Cause poppa never was a part of me
Take one step at a time, mama said
Sweet memories still remain in my head
All o
Voices be like, "Don't you wish you was dead?"
No ground to place my feet
I feel the fire under me
A way out is all I need
Somebody, answer me!
[Chorus + ad libs]
[Jay-Z]
Now the only thing left is more spirit to roam free
.. cause ain't no goin home for me
It's a cold cold world but I blew my hand
A true first cause I knew that man
I knew what he would do if I didn't draw first
And I couldn't stand the thought of my momma steppin foot inside a church
All I try to do is try to get up out the dirt
Guess he's tryin to do the same, told me get up out his turf
I wanted to talk to him, but that shit'd never work
We was cut from the same cloth and what was under his shirt was his
momma's rent, his young brother's clothes
My nephew's food, and with that I suppose
.. and with that I froze
Now my
And this story is told, for young soldiers
who never choose the life we chose
[Chorus + (ad libs)]
[R. Kelly]
Tears in my eyes as I look up, I'm tryin to
hold back my pride but reality is screamin
Gotta get a job cause mo-mma also screamin
Streets are just like drugs, and it's like I'm out here fiendin
Forget all the hits in the industry, cause
ain't no exceptions in this game for me, look
Neither God or my enemies, I
choose God cause he understands, this
young man with a thuggish heart
Whole world in his hands but still torn apart
Like I'm so close, but it's still so far
Nightmares of me in a swervin car, ohhh
No ground to place my feet (my feet)
I feel the fire under me (heyyy)
A way out is all I need (all I need)
Somebody, answer me!

I Don't Have Anyplace To Go Lyrics
You told me late last night you wished I'd leave you Your love for me is gone and we both know I'll do anything I can to make you happy but I don't have anyplace to go I can't go running home cause I don't have one To stay in town would be like dying slow For every day I'd run into your mem'ry I don't have anyplace to go [ steel ] The fault is mine for loving you so deeply no one should ever love another so For there you stan

Kingdom Come Lyrics
[EP Version] When it's night on earth I'm longing for the days All the tears in my heart, driving me insane Running free, breaking from our chains away And smell the wine of paradise Agony is the price we have to pay Suffering in pain Enthroned the darkness spreads it's claws Tries to catch you now and evil calls Tears for all my memories fade away Coldness falls on usMy dreams are turning grey Take our h

Black Winter Day Lyrics
This is how the lucky feel How the blessed men think Like a daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning Like the flat brink of a cloud Like the dark night in autumn But how do I feel in my gloomy depths? This is how the lucky feel How the blessed men think Like a daybreak in spring Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day This is how the lucky feel
life is frozen in time behind these iron foldsThis is how the lucky feel How the blessed men think Like a daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning Like the flat brink of a cloud Like the dark night in autumn But how do I feel in my gloomy depths? This is how the lucky feel How the blessed men think Like a daybreak in spring Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day This is how the lucky feel
And this story is told, for young soldiers
who never choose the life we chose
