A Song For You. (Lyrics Thread)

[August Borms]

On Golden Fields (De Leeuwen Dansen) (Ancient Rites)

We ask not the pleasures that riches supply
Our weapons shall regain
What betrayers must buy
Throwing back the invaders
Reigning our land and waves
And finally teach these nobles
What it means to be slaves

Far more large in numbers
Better armed, they came
But are it not our cities
That these rascals claimed?
A victory rather certain
They held within their hands
But courage craft and justice
Gave us a stronger stand

Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar
But under foreign rule
Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar

We shall suffer nomore

We shall suffer nomore

Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal
Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal
Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen
De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen

Oh, land of Flanders
From field to shore
Shall view us as victors

Oh, land of Flanders
From field to shore
Shall view us as victors
Or view us nomore!

For victory was ours, against all odds
Truly a miracle in a world without gods

Bloodstained flags
Hear our men roar
But under foreign rule
Bloodstained flags
Hear our men
We shall suffer nomore

We shall suffer nomore!

( I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time
and dust teaches my ears. And the troubadour sings. )

Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal
Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal
Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen
De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen

En de leeuwen dansen...

[SlowwHand]

IMMIGRANT SONG
Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

Two, three, four.

Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
"Valhalla I am coming."

On we sweep with, with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
An' we come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ah hah hah hah hah hah.

Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.

From The Hall of Valhalla

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother, my sisters and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place on Asgard in the halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

[HolyWarrior]

Age of Impact--Explorer's Club 53:30

Impact 1--Fate Speaks 16:00
When every word has been written,
when every line has been read
When every person cries for justice,
and every partner drops dead
When every loss has been suffered,
when every war has been fought
When every son's been laid to rest,
when every lesson has been taught
There comes a time when you realize
it's all over sooner or later
All of us together--stop pretending it's not
It's going down, it's going down
nobody listens, I can't believe it

When every breath has been drawn,
when every sickness has been shared
When every soul has quit religion,
when every priest has run scared
When all the actors take a last bow,
when all the big deals have gone down
When every cynic has crucified us,
when every mother screams out loud
There comes a time when you realize
it's all over, sooner or later
All of us together, stop pretending it's not
It's going down, it's going down
nobody listens, I can't believe it

Found asleep at the wheel,
believing in things that are not real
Our reasons more of the same
pointless encounters, endless cliches
Things escape me time and again,
running in circles while anarchy wins
Not me, I'm not going down!
Refuse to sell out or lay down
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks

Face my sentence in dispair,
pacing the floor the enemy's there
I'm just so sick and tired of it all,
nothing but commerce makes my skin crawl
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks
fate speaks, fate speaks loudly, fate speaks

You think I've lost it for what I have said,
you've got the problem and it's all in your head
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel
Why do we take it, we're out of control
it's getting worse now and we're selling our souls
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel

Why do we take it, we're out of control
it's getting worse now and we're selling our souls
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel
You think I've lost it for what I have said,
you've got the problem and it's all in your head
It's just too dark, it's just too real,
don't take for granted this chance we have to feel

Fate speaks!

Impact 2--Fading Fast 8:45
In just a moment your life can slip away,
wasting time by wasting chances
When all that's left here is emptiness and hope,
it's always darkest before the dawn will show
So I've got to stay right just to see it,
I've got to rise up and be much more
There's nothing new here, my impact fading fast,
why seize the hour if I cannot make it last
The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away,
the music's dying but its epitaph will say
It's not over yet, just to see it,
I've got to rise up and be--and be so much more
Believe I know it, I've got to be right...

There's a light at the end but a darkness begins
as I take the task at hand
For the glimpse I see is all that I need
just to try and understand why my fate has let it stand
Feel the meaning of power, the meaning of fear,
but it's death that's chasing me fast
So who really gives a damn if I make it at all,
m just another one that's passed
the pain of a marathon that lasts...

Impact 3--No Returning 8:20
Just call me Mr. Dark, Mr. Negative
I'm pessimistic, fatalistic with an attitude that's turned ballistic
No rhyme or reason, no symmetry and no excuse.
Let it go, flow with the chaos
Hold tight 'cause I can't refuse
fate speaks, fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
once you've started on this road
you've lost everything you have and life is over
no impact 'til you make it stronger

Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
once you've started on this road
you've lost everything you have and life is over
no impact 'til you make it stronger

Impact 4--Time Enough 9:15
When every word has been written
and every line has been read
When every person cries for justice,
when every partner drops dead
When every loss has been suffered,
when every war has been fought
When every son's been laid to rest,
when every lesson has been taught

"...and this is the moment when you will make your impact...
an intensity found in your life when you make a real
and profound difference...seize it...seize it...rise up"

When all the actors take a last bow,
when all the big deals have all gone down
When every cynic has crucified us,
when every mother screams out loud

There's nothing left to ask for,
there's nothing left to say
The same old songs are playing again
just like it's yesterday
There's nothing left to hope for,
there's nothing left to be
It's all been done before,
but maybe I'll wait right here and see

There's nothing left but boredom,
there's nothing left but pain
There's nothing to do 'cause the suffering lasts
as it keeps you in its wake
I'd like to make a difference,
yes I'd like to make one try
But who the hell am I fooling?
There's barely time enough to die...

Impact 5--Last Call 11:10
I've heard enough, let's make it happen
let's turn it over, make life a positive
No more excuses, I'm making progress,
I'm moving forward with new promises
There's nothing left but boredom, nothing left but pain,
there's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before, there's nothing left here,
there's nothing I can say--I can say...

Don't think it's me, I have no fear
I feel it working, there's something new here
Let's make it worth it, still time to react
we've come this far now to make an impact
Now wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never
So wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never

There's nothing left but boredom, nothing left but pain,
there's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before, there's nothing left here,
there's nothing I can say
Now wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never
So wait here, can't you see I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun, but it's now or never--it's now or never

I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
I'll say this over and again, again, again
I've got it--last call, are you going down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
last call, are you going down, down?
Last call, last call, last call, are you going down, down?
Last call, last call, last call, are you going down, down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it--last call, are you going
down down down down down down down down down down down down down down, down down down? 'cause I'm not!

[August Borms]

This is a marching song from WW2, my grandmother says she always loved hearing the German soldiers sing it

Erika (Herms Niel)

1. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Wird umschwärmt Erika.
Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

2. In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
Und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

3. In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
Schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
Und das heißt: Erika.

A fitting song for these times, no matter which side you are on...

Dethrone Tyranny

By GAMMA RAY

Someone is out there he's watching what I do
From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere
I look around me, there's no-one that I see
But still I feel someone's controlling my mind

Save your breath and run
You can't escape the one

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

Forces of evil, they never surrender
Sooner or later the dark era comes

Crying man on the run
He's searching for freedom but there will be none

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

And as the world is dying slowly in our hands
We'll ask for reasons until the bitter end

Who brings us all the sadness
Who brings us all the fear
Who spreads disease and misery
And steals our destiny

A poisoned heart of anger
Sowing the seeds of pain
All see the darkened skyline
And feel the deadly reign

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,

To hell with tyranny

[SlowwHand]

Another for the Iraqi people.

Lonely People
America


This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinking that life has left them dry
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try

Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up
Until you drink from the silver cup
She'll never take you down or
Never give you up
You'll never know until you try
















Never give up.

[Clear Skies]

Not a good day...life decided to dump all its **** on me in one fell swoop. Sore throat, pounding headache, psychotic people at school screaming at their ex-girlfriends, near-collapse in corridor...you name it.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

Green Day - Time of your Life

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind.
Hang it on the shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

[Bereta_Eder]

still worried about my filling so

Wish
Ten Bridges Burning

The leaves were falling early, the year fortune looked away
Gold and green looked brighter then, gold seems grey today
The hands of the clock never went my way, nothing ever did
So in the arms of indifference is where I'm going to stay

Set the burning sails (horizon)
Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat)
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame (we're yearning)
Burnmarks never fade (though we are)
Going nowhere fast

Have I lost you for the first time, it won't be the last
For I'll lose you everytime my dreams fall apart, to dust
I may have questions, I may have answers but I sure don't have you
No one shakes an empty hand, let alone embrace the man

Set the burning sails (horizon)
Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat)
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame (we're yearning)
Burnmarks never fade (though we are)
Going nowhere fast

Never walk away
Never turn your back on me
Never walk out on me

Set the burning sails
Time weighs more than gold
More than shoulders can bear
All the years aflame
Burnmarks never fade
Going nowhere fast

Breathing barely audible while I watch you fighting sleep
But somewhere in the empty land, wolves among the sheep
And all the promises I've ever made seem to break at first touch
But that was then and all we've had is shattered for ever

Never walk away
Never turn your back on me
Never walk out on me

Never Ending Song Of Love
Lyrics by: Delaney Bramlett




I’ve got a never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d have a never-ending love for you



I’ve got a never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d have a never-ending love for you

After all this time of bein’ alone
We can love one another, give for each other
From now on
It’s so good I can hardly stand it

Never-ending love for you
From now on that’s all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d sing my never-ending song of love for you



After all this time of bein’ alone
We can love one another, live for each other
From now on
It’s so good I can hardly stand it

Never-ending love for you
From now on that’s al I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I’d sing my never-ending song of love for you

I’ve got a never-ending love for you
FADE: From now on that’s all I want to do

[Al B. Sure!]

Fetus (Belly-Button Window) by Nas

Yeah..
I want all my niggas to come journey with me
My name is Nas, and the year is 1973
Beginning of me, therefore I could see
Through my belly button window, who I am..

[Verse 1]
I existed in a womb, just like an abyss
Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist
Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix
Twitching cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose
Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or vain
But to take on a name, that my pops chose for me
Bloodstream full of indo, developing eyes
Nine month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s
Was married to pops wishin what she carried would drop
I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones
Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones
Hearin prayers, she axin for my good health
That I become a man and learn to make a way for myself
Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my blood
Mixed with marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin, it's crazy
Both parents is scrappin, I'm not even a baby
A miscarriage can happen

"I shot my way out my mom dukes" x4 (*scratched*)

[Verse 2]
Yo
They must wanna keep me, cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive
Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to survive
When I look hard the lights is killin my eyes
I know when moms is layin down, I get bored, start to get live
Move side to side, hear loud music and vibe
All black babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie
Solar energize, mineralize food flowin through my mothers tube
I'm covered in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the least most comfortable
My umbilical cord choking me
But month 3 was closer, see
Thats when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic
But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last minute
Watchin 'em yell, heard my moms voice well
Feared fist fights, so terrified when we fell
While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall
I wondered if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my view was so large
Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take charge
Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin I'm born in July
But the Lord already figured out a date and time
Septemeber 14th, '73
Get ready world, doctors in the front waitin for me
Arms open cause they know when I drop, alot of ****'s gon' stop
See how the goverment will start re-training cops
Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms "Push and take deep breaths too
Stay calm", holdin her arm, I'm trying to hold on
Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out
Everything is blurry, my first breath screams out
Tears pouring down my pops face he's so proud
Wantin to hold me, but I was so bloody
They washed me off and he said "At least that nigga aint ugly!"
Placed me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her body
She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil
Y'all about to see this world in trouble
Mother****ers..

[Al B. Sure!]

Another anti-abortion song...

Retrospect for Life by Common Sense

Yo, we gotta start respectin life more y'all
You look at your brother man you gotta see yourself
Gotta see the God within him
Brothers gettin changed real quick over nothin
We losin too many of ours
Gotta recreate y'all
Yo, check it

Knowin you the best part of life, do I have the right to take yours
Cause I created you, irresponsibly
Subconciously knowin the act I was a part of
The start of somethin, I'm not ready to bring into the world
Had myself believin I was sterile
I look into mother's stomach, wonder if you are a boy or a girl
Turnin this woman's womb into a tomb
But she and I agree, a seed we don't need
You would've been much more than a mouth to feed
But someone, I woulda fed this information I read
to someone, my life for you I woulda had to leave
Instead I lead you to death
I'm sorry for takin your first breath, first step, and first cry
But I wasn't prepared mentally nor financially
Havin a child shouldn't have to bring out the man in me
Plus I wanted you to be raised within a family
I don't wanna, go through the drama of havin a baby's momma
Weekend visits and buyin J's ain't gon' make me a father
For a while bearing a child is somethin I never wanted to do
For me to live forever I can only do that through you
Nerve I got to talk about them niggaz with a gun
Must have really thought I was God to take the life of my son
I could have sacrificed goin out
To think my homies who did it I used to joke about, from now on
I'ma use self control instead of birth control
Cause $315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth it

[Lauryn Hill (two layers of vocals, same words)]
I, never dreamed you'd leave, in summer
You said you would be here when it rained
[Common] Yo
Why didn't you stay

Seeing you as a present and a gift in itself
You had our child in you, I probably never feel what you felt
But you dealt with it like the strong black woman you are
Through our trials and tribulations, child's elimination
An intergration of thoughts I feel about the situation
Back and forth my feelings was pacin
Happy deep down but not joyed enough to have it
But even that's a lie in less than two weeks, we was back at it
Is this unprotected love or safe to say it's lust
Bustin, more than the sweat in somebody you trust
Or is it that we don't trust each other enough
And believe, havin this child'll make us have to stay together
Girl I want you in my life cause you have made it better
Thinkin we all in love cause we can spend a day together
We talkin spendin the rest of our lives
It's too many black women that can say they mothers
but can't say that they wives
I wouldn't chose any other to mother my understanding
But I want our Parenthood to come from Planning
It's so much in my life that's undone
We gotta see eye to eye, about family, before we can become one
If you had decided to have it the situation I wouldn't run from
But I'm walkin, findin myself in my God
So I can, discipline my son with my writin
Not have a judge tellin me how and when to raise my seed
Though his death was at our greed, with no one else to blame
I had a book of Afrikan names, case our minds changed
You say your period hasn't came, and lately I've been sleepy
So quit smokin the weed and the beadies and let's have this boy



thanks

AMERICA
Neil Diamond


Far
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America

Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America

They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today

My country 'tis of thee
Today
Sweet land of liberty
Today
Of thee I sing
Today
Of thee I sing
Today

Sweet Child O' Mine
Sheryl Crow

He's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
It takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

He's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet chiiiiiiiiiild of mine

good job, Slowwwhand... putting up some less liberal bull**** lyrics...

Better Dayz by 2pac Shakur

Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
Smokin weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids
wanna try now, they lie down and get ran through
Nobody watched 'em clockin the evil man do
Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin victims screamin
Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens
Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
I'd love to see the block in peace
With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast
And only we can change
It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears
Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
Passed by his family, but what could I say?
Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
And pray for better days

Better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days
Got me thinkin bout better days

[Verse Two]
Thinkin back as an adolescent, who would've guessed
that in my future years, I'd be stressin
Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with
Tryin to keep my head up and stay strong
All my homies slangin llello all day long, but they wrong
So I'm solo and so broke
Savin up for some Jordan's, cause they dope
I got a girl and I love her but she broke too, and so am I
I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
So we argue and play fight, all day and night
Makin passionate love 'til the daylight
Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend
Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
So many blessings while we stressin
Lookin for them better days

For better days, better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days

[Verse Three]
Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools
Since back in high school, we was true, me and you
Hardly parted or seperated, we stayed faded
Affiliated with gangbangers and still made it
Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
Still dressin like grown men when rollin
I went to dark, smokin Newports, gamin marks
Got a place in my heart, homey stay smart
Locked you up in the pen, and gave you three to ten
I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
Hopin you well, I know it's hell
Doin time in the cells, you need mail, when you in jail
And me I'm doin cool
I settled down, had a family, workin in night school
Every once in a while, I reminisce
And wonder how we ever came to this
I miss the better days

Better days, better days, heyyy!
Better days.. I'm thinkin bout better days
Better days, better days, better days
Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days

I send this one out, to all the homeboys down in uh, Clinton lockdown
Rikers Island, all them dudes I was uh locked up with,
E Block, F Block, lower H
N-I-C in Rikers Island, downstate
All the peoples I met along the way
Better days is comin homeboy, keep your head up

[Al B. Sure!]

I Aint Mad At Cha by 2pac Shakur

Change, ****
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all niggaz to get up out the hood
****, I'm wit cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nuttin but love for ya, do your thing boy

Yeah, all the homies that I ain't talk to in a while
I'ma send this one out for y'all, knahmean?
Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard y'all tearin up **** out there, kickin up dust
[Danny Boy] I ain't...
Givin a mother****er, heheheheheh
Yeah, niggaz
[Danny Boy] ...mad at cha
Cause I ain't mad at cha

[Verse One: 2Pac]
Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roller
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin how ya changed
Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game
Heard you might be comin home, just got bail
Wanna go to the Mosque, don't wanna chase tail
I seems I lost my little homie he's a changed man
Hit the pen and now no sinnin is the game plan
When I talk about money all you see is the struggle
When I tell you I'm livin large you tell me it's trouble
Congratulation on the weddin, I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that's no bull****in
I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we'd BOMB
on the first mother****er with the wrong **** on
Now the whole ****'s changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same mother****er bad
Go toe to toe when it's time for roll you got a brother's back
And I can't even trip, cause I'm just laughin at cha
You tryin hard to maintain, then go head
cause I ain't mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)

[Chorus: Danny Boy]
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha

[Verse Two: 2Pac]
We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn't
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I'm gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared
Besides bumpin n grindin wasn't nothin on our mind
In time we learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow
And even though we seperated, you said that you'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived
Don't shed a tear, cause Mama I ain't happy here
I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
They got me goin mad, I'm knockin busters on they backs
in my cell, thinkin, "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"
As soon as I touch down
I told my girl I'll be there, so prepare, to get ****ed down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin at cha
Cause youse a down ass *****, and I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus: Danny Boy]
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha (2Pac: A true down ass *****, and I ain't mad at cha)

[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Father forgive us for livin while all my homies stuck in prison
Barely breatin believin that the world is a prison
It's like a ghetto we can never leave
A broken rose givin bloom to the cracks of the concrete
So many other things for us to see
Things to be, our history so full of tragedy and misery
To all my homies never made it home
The dead peers I shed tattoo tears for, when I'm alone
Picture us inside a ghetto heaven, a place to rest
Findin peace through this land of stress
In my chest I feel pain comin sudden storms
Life full of rain in this game watch for landstorms
Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next
In this world full of countless threats
I beg God, to make a way for our ghetto kids to breathe
Show a sign, make us all believe
Cause I ain't mad at cha



thanks
