1. _ I'll Be There For You
Look at how she move, look at how she sway
Standin in her pumps and her lingerie
Comment allez-vous parlez vous francais
Don't know how to act, don't know what to say
Need a genie and a wish in the very worst way
And this type of ish happens eve-ry-day
Type love I feel, is so for real
So gen-uine, and so sublime
Baby workin and puttin on a show for me
Standin over me, I smell potpourri
Take you any place that you wanna go with me
Just (come talk to me) like Jodeci
Got a pain in my heart that never goes away
Baby girl do you really wanna feel it?
Got a lot at stake, and a promise to make
And a kiss from your lips could seal it
[Chorus]
I'll be there, for you babe
I'll be the one that you need
I'll be the man that will love you
I'll be there, for you babe
Another loose nut, pain in your gut
Relationship gone down
In a bottle of booze, you manifest your blues
Put on your face and hit the town
Now that skin-tight dress maybe might impress
The kind of man that you might not like
First time up with no luck and confusion
Got you gamblin' with just one strike
You need more than conversation and introduction calls
You need someone to catch you when you fall
And fly like an eagle when you fine
Cause you on my mind
[Chorus]
Look at how she sway, look at how she move
Tryin' to show and prove, don't disturb the groove
She got - hazel eyes, and hair that's gold
An amazing heart, and an angel's soul
She used to be a sinner, but now she's saved
She's well respected and she's well behaved
Her fuse is short, her legs are long
Her temper's mean, her will is strong
A love so real, a love so deep
A love so true, it's so hard to keep
Her center's sweet, her beauty's rare
When we walk down the street people stop and stare
She's so damn smart, she's one of a kind
She's a work of art, she's a priceless wine
She's a drama queen, she's a friend of mine
She's every man's dream and she's mine all mine
[Chorus]

2. _ The Rain
Every man's bound to fall
Every man's bound to fall
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
Every man's bound to fall
Life is short, the grind is long
Some of my very best friends are gone
My hustle's strong my money's all spent
On buying bitches titties and drugs and rent
Work a double shift grind, I can't save a dime
My daughter needs medicine I just can't afford
Bout to grab a .9, lose my mind
My insurance keeps sayin that they won't pay for it
I'll stage the heist, I'll pay the price
Don't be shocked when I turn to crime, kid
I'm goin big, I might split your wig
Cause I ain't getting knocked for no nickel'n'dime shit
All that glitters ain't all it seems
The American dream is an American scheme
What you're looking at, what you're trippin on
Who you flippin on, see what I'm grippin on
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
Every man's bound to fall
I've been breakin my neck just to live correct
Keep my head above water, living check to check
I get no respect, I got no regard
Patience is a struggle when times is hard
Paper's in the shortage, tryin to pay the mortgage
I can't get to work, they repossess my car
Bout to buy a pistol and kidnap Bristol
Tell me bitch, can you see me from your backyard?
This New World session of the Great Depression
I'm living off preemptive unchecked aggression
You're cryin and you're bitchin, know it every politician:
My family tradition is heavy ammunition
I cock the hammer, I'ma rock the vote
Got your forhead on lock, dead in my scope
Look me in the eye, what you're lying for
What you're living by, what you dyin for
Pain inside my heart
Trouble stay on my mind
Everything falls apart
(It's) happenin' all the time
Livin by Murphy's Law
Tryin to have it all
Running from instant karma
Every man's bound to fall

3. _ Little Miss America
It's all been said, it's all been done
The war is over, the battle's won
Sour grapes, sweet revenge
Heaven starts right where hell ends
She was young, seventeen
She felt so soft she smelled so clean
Her aim was true, her heart was pure
Until the day that her daddy walked out the door
She's lookin' for a man and so much more
But her Uncle Sam sent him off to war
[Chorus]
And Little Miss America, in all of your glory
She love the paparazzi, she's tryin' to sell her story
She's gonna write a movie, she wanna be a star
But Little Miss America, where did you get that scar?
Desert sun, blazin' sand
Love in my heart, gun in my hand
Lost a leg, killed a man
in mortal combat, hand to hand
Saw men killed, watched men die
so many times that I can't cry
It's been eighteen months since I've seen home
I get a purple heart, a good G.I. Loan
They say God blesses every child with his own
But we're all gonna die in the dark alone
[Chorus]
Back at home, it's kind of strange
Ain't nuttin happenin, ain't nuttin changed
Same old rules, same old game
Still I'm haunted by the names
of all the friends, left behind
They weigh so heavy on my mind
At night I miss goin out on patrol
The desert went and turned my warm heart cold
[Chorus]
[Repeat x6]
Where did you get the scar?

4. _ Moneymaker
[Chorus]
Praise your God, Lord have mercy
My mother warned me, my father cursed me
Grand design, time to meet yo' maker
Go on honey shake yo' moneymaker
Baby don't be lazy come get yo' paper
Go on honey shake yo' moneymaker
Walk a little road, see where it gon' take ya
Go on honey shake yo' moneymaker
Baby I'm a sinner, all I've done is wrong
Everybody clap yo' hands, sing a simple song
Whiskey it spills and we all get along
But Louis keep it real take a hit from the bong
Do the Lionel Richie go (All Night Long)
Three times a lady, easy like Sunday morn'
On and on until the break of dawn
Hot butter on - say what - the popcorn
Yes yes y'all and, creditors callin'
Dow Jones fallin', push your chips all in
Get your poker face and hit the World Series
Run the rat race, yo' conspiracy theories
I'm kinda upset about the new world order
You wonder how they're leadin' all the lambs to the slaughter
Sign up become a new world Nazi storm strooper
Or wind up just like a William S. Cooper
[Chorus]
Twenty five, five to one
We got 'em outnumbered but they got the guns
What's wrong is law, what's might is right
You wanna give peace a chance then put up a fight
The solution's a fact, revolution's the act
Keep us crazy 'bout money, 'bout pollution and crack
Keep us scared of Al'Qaeda always on the attack
Just in case you get by and start a war in Iraq
Ship your ass overseas and get shot in the back
Keep you down on your knees like a hoe on the track, singin'
[Chorus]
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh!

5. _ A Change is Gonna Come

6. _ Gone For Good
I was foolish cause I loved her so
Never put no one else above her no
She put it on me like no other did before
Now she telling me that she wants to go
She said she got dreams and she want back flights
She said that she can act and she wants to sign
Wants to build herself a rep make herself a name
I tell you girl game recognizes game
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
For good
Gone for good
You say you wanna be loved but wouldn't teach me how
Girl I don't even know how to reach you now
You say you wanna love but wouldn't speak no vow
Girl you ain't the one that can break me down
Take all of my love and the you spread it around
Girl I don't even know how to greet you now
I hope maybe you choke I hope maybe you drown
I said "Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down"
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
For good
Gone for good
Gone for good
Gone for good

7. _ My House
I know you heard it before, but it's true
C'mon! What you 'fraid of?
It's gon' do you some good
For all the girls that I loved before
That got a lot more than they bargained for
They got a lot more than they was anticipatin
Started off lovin, winded up hatin
Remember back when we were very first datin
You said baby be patient cause I'm all about waitin
I'm not your overnight stick and move easy
You gotta prove your love or I'm really kinda cheesy
She's her daddy's girl, oh so fine
Do anything in this world, to make her mine
We'll sip a lil' wine
Talk and see what this is all about
[Chorus {scratched in the background: "The House of Pain!"}]
C'mon over to my house
C'mon over to my house
C'mon over to my house
We could have some fun at my house
We can do this like Brutus on a Tuesday night
Can burn some nice hemp and make the place smell right
Could roll you up some trees, could make you a bite
Could maybe watch a movie or the UFC fight
Could play a little chess, or sit by the fire
And conversate for a while 'bout human desire
We'll do a little bettin we could do a little kissin
Get what you need gettin girl you don't know what you missin
Baby girl let me know
If you have any doubts
[Chorus]
We could put on some tunes, and sing a few songs
Call up your friends tell 'em all come along
We'll fire up the grill, and start up a party
'Cause ev-a-ry-one needs the love of somebody
We can sip on tequila, and act like a fool
And wake up all the neighbors when we jump in the pool
Come on over and spend some time
And, put some hope in this heart of mine
Lay your head in my lonely arms
No surprises, no alarms
And baby girl let me know
Are you in, are you out?
C'mon over to my house
C'mon over to my house
We could have some fun at my house
Baby we can call it our house
C'mon over to my house

8. _ Sixty-Five Roses
It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
It's been too long baby what went wrong
Tell me how it got spoilt
Tell me when it went bad
How to get back to the times that we had
We're both young
And our spirits are old
Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away
You were eighteen I just turned twenty nine
I was fresh out the coffin and
Girl you were so fine
The future was bright
The world, it seemed new
I was with some other woman
I was thinking of you
Knew how it hurts
Knew how it feels
Knew it how aches
Cos the heart never heals
We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
Taking out lumps
Took a few blows
Hit a few bumps
Had our fair share of wounds
We tried to see good
Through all of the bad
Put on our smiles
Pretend we're not sad
Gotta be tough
Gotta be strong
Gotta be right
Can't afford to be wrong
It's hard to sing the blues
When you're hearing bad news everyday
We worry too much for one couple to bear
Hunger so much for one person to care
Fooling our family
We're fooling our friends
Pray that the pain and the frustration ends
Hope is a chance
Hope is a dream
Hope is a drug
Maybe hope's a vaccine
In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
Shout at the devil
I curse the lord
Offer them everything I can afford
I'd sell out my soul
I lighten to see
Tried to be righteous
Tried to believe
Prayed every prayer
Kicked all of my highs
For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
All of my problems seem to be melting away
The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay
In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray

9. _ Even God Don't Know
[Chorus]
Ridin' round town, got a pocket full of dough
Where I'll wind up, even God don't know
I take it just as fast and as far as it'll go
Ridin' round town, got a pocket full of dough
Where I'll wind up, even God don't know
Aiyyo it's hard knock livin' doin' hard luck time
Tryin' to make a dime still my only crime
A man died tryin' to circumcise my shine
Buck your gun kiddo, and I'll buck mine!
Cash walk the line, police are the swine
But knowledge is refined by the wise and divine
And I can break it down for the dumb and the blind
Unnatural acts, to actual facts
Like cats that move packs don't never pay tax
You ain't lie, boy you need to relax
You leave a five like a junkie leaves tracks
A habit needs a home like a monkey needs backs
Pistol in my lap, got the pedal to the flo'
The whiskey in the flask and a head full of blow
You got heaven up above, got hell down below
Pistol in my lap, got the pedal to the flo'
Where I'll wind up, even God don't know
I need a hard-headed woman for a cold-hearted man
Never seen it comin', that's just part of the plan
Work the hidden hand, walk forbidden land
Do the best I can once shit hits the fan
An hour's worth of sand, supply and demand
Get high as you can, the power of a grand
Two in the bush is worth one in the hand
Could cower in the van, or burst into battle
Back in the saddle, the kid don't rattle
Don't play me, up the creek with no paddle
We don't snitch while you bitches just tattle
Poppin' off at the lip gets you tipped like cattle
Eyes full of hate, got a heart full of love
And you're the only woman that I ever dreamed of
I get high as I can fly then I cry like a dove
Eyes full of hate, got a heart full of love
And you're the only woman that I ever dreamed of
[Chorus]

10. _ The Crown
With a soft underbelly
And a hardened heart
They say you've got to be tough
If you ain't that smart
I'm sitting here alone
Waiting for my phone to ring
Run out of time
Run out of hope
The boys on the corner never run out of dope
I keep myself high
So I can keep doing my thing
They say "Stupid is as stupid does
And everything's the same as it ever was"
I drink myself blind
Trying to find a new song to sing
Time is money,
And money talks
Bartender, pour me one more whiskey on the rocks
While i try to understand
Why every man wants to be king
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(When you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(You can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)
With a sweet disposition
And an iron will
A couple nice cars
And a house on a hill
my back account's full
But my soul is still empty and cold
All the money and the clothes
And the sold out shows
Don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you
And your home is just a house
When you're sitting there alone and you're old
I heard love is a game
I heard love is a rock
And I heard love is a house on a dead end block
But the ending keeps changing every time that the story gets told
Some pray for money
Some pray for rain
And some are just praying for relief from the pain
But some of us will buy
Just about anything we can be sold
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(When you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(You can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)
I'm a mean old dog
Got a big old gun
I'm a proud new papa
I'm an only son
I'm a beggar
I'm a thief
I'm a liar and a cheater too
I've been around the block
I've been around the sun
I've been up
I've been down
I've been over and done
I've seen the bottom of the pile
And the mountain top
Either will do
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you when you're down
(When you're down)
Laugh for now; later you can frown
(You can frown)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
(Wears the crown)

11. _ Some of Us Pray
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us just don't know where to begin
Guilty hearted pleasures, may contain some unorthodox measures
Can't help losing even if you win
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us live, and all of us die
And some of us laugh at the others who cry
Broken hearted sorrow, got you thinkin' like there ain't no tomorrow
Some of us can't look each other in the eye
Some of us live, and all of us die
And some of us give, and some of us take
And some of us just lie in the beds that we make
Hearts all torn and busted, double thinkin everybody you trusted
Can't always fix everything you break
And some of us give, and some of us take
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
And most of us just don't know where to begin
These guilty hearted pleasures, may contain some unorthodx measures
Can't help but lose even if you win
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us pray, and some of us sin
Some of us pray, and some of us sin

12. _ Long At All
Government man keep calling my house
Talking ‘bout I owe, harassing my spouse
Gotta park my truck on another block
Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock
Gotta couple good friends with helping hands
I need a brand new job with a health care plan
They closed the plant, they stole my job
Told me crime don’t pay unless you ask the mob
So I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine
Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time
And every single day I fall a little more behind
But I’m paying it no mind, it’ll all be fine
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by
It’s on and on till the brake of dawn
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Yes yes y’all and it never stops
I don’t trust the government, I don’t trust no cops
We dip and we dive and we socialize
We struggle and we strive just to stay alive
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
When I finally get home I can’t relax
Cause I’ve been over worked and I’ve been over taxed
My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed
And I ain't looking for no pity, I’m just stating the facts
I voted for some change and it’s kinda strange
"No" it’s all I got in my pocket
I bought a few led’s, now I’m growing some trees
And it’s a sweet fucking hustle don’t knock it
I told y’all before I would break the law
To put some food in my baby girl’s belly
Cause the senator man took a bribe in hand
And went and shipped my job to New Delhi
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by
It’s on and on till the brake of dawn
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Yes yes y’all and it never stops
I don’t trust the government
I don’t trust no cops
I dip and I dive and I socialize
I struggle and I strive just to stay alive
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain’t gonna lie (got it good)

13. _ Friday the 13th
They say everything's fine, down where the red light shine
Once the junkies have all gone to bed
And once the sun rises, you run out of surprises
And the drugs they sold have cleared from your head
Tight ass nubbin, push come to shovin
Throw so money on the table cover last night's lovin
Got the soul of a whore, got the heart of a lonely man
If I ain't fuckin things up, I do the very best that I can
Just like a lamb to the slaughter, a horse to the water
I only wanna drink if I know I shouldn't oughta
I'm a scared little boy, and I'm really one hell of a man
And I'm a junkie for the lovin touch of a stranger's hand
They say everything's love up in the heavens above
But here on Earth you must atone for your sins
Ain't no room for budgin once the law starts judgin
He's just countin up losses and wins
That's how you play the game, but still all the same
They say it's only cheatin if you get caught
So you runnin wild sinnin, you're smilin and yo' grinnin
With all that trick knowledge you bought
You got the mind of a leper, and the soul of a tortured king
And it's all breakin down and that's the truly unfortunate thing
While you're fightin for survival, I'm feelin sacrificial
Got a brand new rifle girl it's government issue
Got a heart full of stone, got an eye that's about to take aim
And every fuckin person up on Twitter is gonna speak my name
'Cause they all gone stupid, they all got lazy
They worship all the money and they idolize the crazy
Everybody wants to go to heaven but everyone's afraid to die
And what if God is real but religion's all just one big lie?
The bar set lower, temperature's higher
Somebody got to spark it, and set one big fire

14. _ I Get By

15. _ Long Time
She was a hot blooded women, he never saw it comin'
She hit him from the side that's blind
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin'
Layin' there next to his pride
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
'Cause it filled him with a fatherly pride
But a couple years later when their love started fadin'
He hurt so bad he nearly died
[Chorus]
It's been a long time, since I was faithful
It's been a long time, since I was grateful
It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
It's been a long time, since I was grateful
She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water
'Cause it's better for her baby to breathe
She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen
Now he's sittin' waitin' on a reprieve
And she loves her lil' baby but she get a lil' crazy
'Cause it's harder than she ever conceived
He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone
Cause she loves him like he wouldn't believe
[Chorus]
He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
He's always been a prodigal son
He gets a lot of drama when he go to see his momma
'Cause he curses like a son of a gun
He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby
He swears that she's the only one
He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin for tomorrow
And he's sorry for the damage he's done
[Chorus x2]
