You gave your all
Expected nothing in return but a promise that you would be the sole one I told you then I saw it all But could just stand by to watch you fall deeper Your skies caved in Tears escaped Then the anger came with a strength Another point of view Doesn't count for much When the objective one Isn't missing his touch I stood by you then I'll stand by you now But don't want to just watch you fall deeper Deeper Started to accept, Just to carry on, But excluding him meant a whole piece of life gone Couldn't let it go Barriers came down Now you're there again like the scar forgot the pain I told you then I said it all But now again I watch you fall deeper Deeper |

There were times I could not see past all the decoys laid,
Placed in front of me Just the frequency that was bothering me, When all the time should have realized Just your avenue for another escape Just your avenue for another escape I always felt that things would change (change for the best) And for once I'd see some sort of progression You always say you're down, But when push comes to shove you always have excuses Just your avenue for another escape Just your avenue for another escape You really need to think again You know you have to make amends Don't look me in the eye, Assume it's alright I won't be here for long Only one reason for you not to change Just your avenue for another escape Just your avenue for another escape And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to look at me And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to look at me And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to look at me Just your avenue for another escape Just your avenue for another escape |

Standing at the crossroads,
Wondering which way to go As I look around I see I'm not alone on this side of mine, 'Cause this time, I know I'm doing nothing wrong Should I bust a basic left? Or go on straight ahead, And let that Roman way decide fate through this path of mine, 'Cause this time there seems to be no other way Now you know Now you know That what you have is all that I can give Standing at the crossroads, wondering which way to go Now i know, Know what to do in this heart of mine, 'Cause in this life, Do you get a second chance? It seems so obvious to me So why can't you see? It's up to you I know what I need to do 'Cause this time there really is no turning back Now you know, now you know That what you have is all that i can give |

I am
I am searching I am searching for faith, beauty and hip-hop I am searching for all those who died between hip hop and heaven And all souls set adrift and free from bedlam With headstrong lyrics that rise like smoke from silver incense burners I wonder who stole the thunder with the rasping edge And who banged for baptisms with butterflies, serpentine roads and sunsets broken by cicadas Have we really lost our century in an hour? Are we devoured by blind faith in the powers that be? Are these words as tense as drawn bow strings? Shall we rebuild the tears like sap from rubber trees? Answer me! Answer me you T.S. Elliots in goose down jackets with your felt tip urban hieroglyphs, spliff smoke, and spray paint Answer me you soliloquists with clenched fists 'round the mike Answer me you angels in adidas Tell me Do M.C.'s still howl rhymes into the purple black of midnight? Do they still fight to make arrangements with deities courting them with a jangle of gold and silver bangles on their wrist? I need yearning voices of mangled passion I need rehearsed create those style of faith and fashion I'm searching for hip-hop beats, stomping feet to implore the ? ? ringing across the seagulls to muffle the sun I'm searching for perfumed cherry blossoms and ? You see there will be no toast to the future in the banquet table of ? No golden petals weaving a carpet of light No hint of arrogance on puckered lips No wind-swept islands and dreams of sun-lit silence No riot of flowers and beauty magnified through outmost attention And no free-style incantations to save the souls of man I'm peeling off your straitjacket so you feel the sun my friend I want wings, a feather, and booms so we can fly like birds to better lands I'm wondering I'm wondering how temples are now smokestacks I'm up all night in silvery moonlight with palms of ?? Who stole my afro-pick? Who licked my fingertips to sooth scratches from the vinyl groove? Has anybody seen faith, beauty and hip hop? I have to find faith, beauty and Hip hop |

You're a big fish in a small pond
Everyone knows your name, so you claim Out for fortune and for the fame, Though you play your life like it's just a game I'd rather be fabulous than famous Live my life steady than nervous Always looking over my shoulder Never knowing what's coming round the corner Look at yourself Look at yourself You're the flyest in the neighbourhood, But I wonder if we'd all be like you if we could The flashest cars, The sovereign rings, Champagne worlds filled with material things Peddling plastic dreams A way of life far removed from reality But nothing lasts for long, And you can't take it with you when you're gone Look at yourself Look at yourself I'd rather be fabulous than famous Live my life steady than nervous Always looking over my shoulder Never knowing what's coming round the corner Look at yourself Look at yourself |

Reality has checked my me
Time is expecting what I've been rejecting for so long My body is calling, energy level is falling, And I've found I'm not as strong as I used to be Is it all about security? I need to provide to stay alive, Build a future,build a home 10 years from now thime will run out Just want to slow bad time down But 10 years ago felt like yesterday, Now a family seems so far away want to fit more in But don't get me wrong - responsibility isn't a bad thing Am I judging men by how they'd father my children, Rather than for who they are The only thing I'd imagine hasn't really worked out the way I thought, And the only thing my life has brought is uncertainty Is it all about security? Thought one day I'd wake to be a woman Thought one day I'd wake to be a woman Thought one day I'd just wake to be a woman Is it all about security? Security |
