Now you never know when it's your time
It's always there in the back of your mind Read it in the paper see it on TV Never think it could happen to me Accidents occur we don't know why Just look what happened to Princess Di One car crashed and the whole world cried No time to say goodbye Won't see your future in a crystal ball Your psychic friends can't help you at all Can't buy time at a shopping mall The writing's on the wall Struck by lighting, fall in a well It sounds far fetched but you never can tell When you're swimming with sharks that you can't repell No one can hear you yell... You never know where You won't know how When you least expect it Expect the unexpected Boom! What a terrible sound Planes go up, and crash back down You never thought when you left the ground That you would not be found Took a big chance when you made that bet Laid it on the line now you're starting to sweat This is one day you'll never forget Cash in your pockets and no regrets Fly in the sky, or sail in a boat It don't matter which way you go Titanic, don't panic, There's other ways to cross the Atlantic Don't be surprised by what you hear Things aren't always as they appear The unexpected ain't nothing to fear The truth is always clear |

Who is the one that don't need a gun
Livin' with the scum in the city slums Mixin' with the players, bushers and bums Keepin' it groovy with everyone Out on the block is where the action's hot They keep it moving and it just won't stop The wolves in sheep's clothes, good people with hope When it's DOG EAT DOG, they go for the throat I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan Whateverman that's just what I am I'll help you if I can to work it out Easy women and sleazy men On Amsterdam Ave. and 110 The times are fast, the change is loose Anything goes in the land of abuse I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan Whateverman that's just what I am I'll help you if I can to work it out |

One life to get it right, there's no time to waste
One track in this rat race, keep up with the pace Who is sure the rich or the poor I'll take my time and be secure Time is now we're all going down I'll go for mine someway or somehow Modern Day Devils pushing things to dangerous levels Latter Day Saints promises for those who wait One way to walk a path following a code Another way is to blaze a trail driven by your hopes Chance we take, a choice to make Answer to who at the end of the day Living in faith we just have to wait Surrender your will to a power that's great Modern Day Devils pushing things to dangerous levels Latter Day Saints promises for those who wait God helps those who help themselves... Pick your fight, choose your side There's a thin line between wrong and what's right Time will tell, you'll see for yourself Don't bet with your life, it's bad for your health... |

Always the same and that's a shame.
The only change is the name of the game. I know it sucks, cause times are tuff and it's ruff but you gotta keep your head up. What do you want? I want a shot to follow my dreams, they're all I got. What do you need? I need a chance to go for it all cause I got plans. What do you got? I got nothing but fire burning inside for all I desire. What do you see? All I see is walls obstacles in my way they're gonna fall. How do you feel? It's all wrong but if it's not kill me I'm getting strong. Where do you go? On that I must decide exhibiting a sense of self. What is the deal? Just playing with time, learning alot, trying to get mine. What do you know? I don't know why it hurts, but if it's really worth something it takes hard work. |

Yeah it's a big world out there
and most of it is water. So you better learn how to swim real good or you should know how to fly this is motion taking too long, like a bad song, fly to hong kong, high as the sky without the bong. Never the less the level of stress was endless, I felt pressed in the cabin cass business. I remember what it took to get us here, the mad years we performed just for the beer. Now we hover undercover in the atmosphere. Intergalatic players, true pioneers. Big wheel, spinnin around, breaking thru cities and rippin thru town. Get down time to flip that frown, keep your body moving from your feet to the crown. This is the J to the O H to the N C and then I'm on. I spy like James Bond. N to the OR. I'll put you in the ER, fumming like a cigar, screaming like a marshall. Electric guitar starp me in there, a true circle, the perfect square. Hot like flares, danger, beware you must prepare. Only strategic affairs turn boys to millionairs. We got to keep moving/forever staying in motion. Papa never gave me tools to the trade, yo, I'm tryinta make the grade. Suckas think I got it made. I won't trade or give aid. You'll be played like arcades, follow the big wheel wherever it takes, you nothing, but the truth. You must pursue in the endeavor. Just remember to yourself be true explore the world. It's a treasure if you only knew |

East side, west side
larcency and homicide people trying to survive. Prostitution, retribution toxic waste and air pollution politics: no solution. I've come from the other side of town This concrete jungle's got me down I feel the heet, from the street Live in the city, die in the city. Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty. Laugh in the city, cry in the city. It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty. Uptown, downtown On the streets and underground People trying to get around. Skyscrapers, money makers New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers One too many circuit brakers. Live in the city, die in the city. Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty. Laugh in the city, cry in the city. It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty. |

Listen up party people all in the place,
I've been around the world like Puffy and Mace. Wake up with the moon sleeping with the sun, this life of style ain't for everyone. Close your eyes, open up your mind, I can clearly see you're all so blind. Everythings for sale, name your price, the sneakers on my feet are nice. If you're not going up, then you gotta get down. Put your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground. If you're not coming in, then you gotta get out, right out, right out, right out. Keep it on time, always running late, even when I'm early hurry up and wait. Totally sain, fully out of my head, I'm still alive and I'm the living dead. Black or white, left or right, smokin' and drinkin', night after night. Top of the world, living on the edge, you can fall right of the ledge. If you're not going up, then you gotta get down. Put your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground. If you're not coming in, then you gotta get out, right out, right out, right out. Right out is what I'm talking about, right out is what I'm talking about. Fast forward, future to the past rewind, A.D. to B.C. , nothing but time. Top to the bottom, front to back, all 12 sings of the Zodiac. Asking everybody from east to west, y'all wanna know who's style's the best. Telling all the people in the north and south, that this is what we're talking about. If you're not going up, then you gotta get down. Put your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground. If you're not coming in, then you gotta get out, right out, right out, right out |

Had to run from my home if you can call it that,
Grabbed my cd's and an overstuffed backpack. Things got hot with my moms and pop, night after night they blew up the spot. Throwing plates and pots, shit's got to stop man, gotta break out let the pressure drop. Too extreme kid when you're only a teen, can't believe what they're putting me in between. Maybe one day it will all make sense, a tight offense is still the best defense. Don't even know if I can trust my friends, taking anything just to make this end. Cheap wine, hustles, drugs and streetcrime, sleeping at the flicks turning tricks hard times. Wake up th streets calls out my name, should be in school, but I'm beggin for change. Keep things moving by showing and proving, on the street by myself what the hell am I doing? Somehow one day, someway anyway, better look out world I got a lot to say. It's my time to shine, need to get what's mine, make a move to the future leave the past behind, There's a pie in the sky, gonna get a piece, I wanna be at peace. |

Gave you all that I had
I let you come and go as you please, never once did I ask for anything in return, except to have what was coming to me. You broke a friendship that was based on trust and tried to pull the wool right over my eyes. I can't see how such a lying , cheating son of a bitch, could have ever been a friend of mine. Are you so blind that you can't see, look at what you've done to me. All of this time I called you my friend, now I see your true colors showing in the end. Good times and bad times took a turn for the worst, but looking back on it now, wonder why somehow I could ever hitten all the hurts. Took something from me that you can't give back, it was yours as much it was mine, but in the end I think you've got what was coming to you, I got love you got nothing but time. Are you so blind that you can't see, look at what you've done to me. All of this time I called you my friend, now I see your true colors showing in the end. Left you to your own devices and I see trust is just a word you take for granted, you never had the balls to stand and fight me. Cause you know that my feet have been firmly planted. I always had your back we'd find a way out you know, the two of us could never be kept down. I never understand the path you've chosen, but I will not back down. |

We live just for today,
now is not yesterday, tomorrow's another day in live. I heard that growth is slow, that's not the way it goes, variety's the spice of life. My life, We're not the same, growing came, Who can explain why we change? The wheel in motion now, prepare for ups and downs, sunshine and dark and cloudy skies. Those things we want to say, Allways seem to fade away, This pain is what we recognize. In time, We're not the same, growing came, try to maintain even plain. There's a rhyme for every reason, a time for every season, to grow in our lives it's just natural. Move with the transition, constantly in motion, modify the model, feel the physical mutation. The body grows along with the mind, compel the soul with cycles and lines. Sensation, pain you feel in your brain Reduce the strain embrace the gain. |
