Book Of Dreams
In my book of dreams In my book of dreams In my book of dreams I took your urgent whisper Stole the arc of a white wing Rode like foam on the river of pity Turned its tide to strength Healed the hole that ripped in living In my book of dreams In my book of dreams In my book of dreams The spine is bound to last a life Tough enough to take the pounding Pages made of days of open hand In my book of dreams In my book of dreams In my book of dreams Number every page in silver Underline in magic marker Take the name of every prisoner Yours is there my word of honor I took your urgent whisper Stole the arc of a white wing Rode like foam on the river of pity Healed the hole that ripped in living In my book of dreams In my book of dreams In my book of dreams |

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb And your low voice mingles with your other half's Schoolfriends in second-hand clothes Eventually your world will shrink within four walls Of neglected debts and stolen stereos So move away Jimmy Blue Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you A drunk mother was the cue For the legendary things that you do Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face Behind the old glue factory too So move away Jimmy Blue Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you Wet feet visit the same old places You're finding nothing new It's a bin full of tissues from made-up faces In a town full of nothing to do A love match with the moon In a layby, while insects hum and You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb Jimmy Blue, Jimmy Blue So move away Turn around and move away Yeah, move away Jimmy Blue Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you |

Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon We never learn Hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone? We turn the wheel and break the chain Put steel to steel and laugh at pain We're dreamers in castles made of sand The road to Eden's overgrown Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone? Look at the headlines: BIG CROWD AT THE CRAZY HOUSE LONG QUEUE FOR THE JOKER'S SHOES TEN ROUNDS IN THE RING WITH LOVE Do you lose and win, or win and lose? Sweet rain like mercy in the night (Lay me down, wash away the sorrow) Caress my soul and set it right (Lay me down, show me your tomorrow) Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown Dont' you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone? Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone Get the picture? NO ROOM FOR THE INNOCENT PEAK SEASON IN LONELY TOWN KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING BY LOVE Are you down and up, or up and down? I ask the river for a sign (In a dream, we go on together) How long is love supposed to shine? (In a dream, diamonds are forever) But you and I, we're hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone? Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone? (With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected) Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone? (With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected) Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (fade) |

In a garden in the house of love,
sitting lonely on a plastic chair The sun is cruel when he hides away, I need a sister - I'll just stay A little girl, a little guy in a little church or in a school Little Jesus are you watching me, I'm so young - just eighteen She, she, she, she Shine On In a garden in a house of love, there's nothing real just a coat of arms I'm not the pleasure that I used to be so young just eighteen She, she, she, she Shine On I don't know why I dream this way The sky is purple and things are right every day I don't know, it's just this world's so far away But I won't fight, and I won't hate Well not today In a garden in the house of love Sitting lonely on a plastic chair The sun is cruel when he hides away I need a sister I'll just stay She, she, she, she Shine On |

Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own Don't let nobody inside Every now and then we all need to let go For some it's the doctor For me it's rock and roll For some it's a bottle For some it's a pill Some people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill Others point their finger If they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house Don't be throwing rocks at me We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed There ain't nothin' he won't try Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's Treating his best friend's wife Tipper led the war against the record industry She said she saw the devil on her MTV To look into the cabinet It takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons And his ministry We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Hit it nowSome people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill You can spend your money Before you get your pay With a toss of the dice You can piss it all away We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright For some it's the needle For some it's the kill |

I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change An August summer night, soldiers are passing by Listening to the wind of change The world is closing in Did you ever think that we could be so close like brothers The future’s on the air I can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change Walking down the street Distant momorise are buried in the past forever I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change The wind of change blows straight into the face of time Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell For peace of mind Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change |

I'm the arsenal I got artillery, lyrics of ammo Rounds of rhythm Then I'm 'a give 'em piano Bring a bullet-proof vest Nothin' to ricochet ready to aim at the brain ~Now what the trigger say Tempos triflin' Felt like a rifle Massage 'n' melodies Might go right through Simultaneously like an Uzi Nothin' can bruise me Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me So re-load quickly And you better hit me While I'm lettin' this fifi get wit me You steppin' with .007 Better make it snappy No time to do your hair, baby Brothers are bustin' at me Beats and bullets pass me None on target They want the R hit But wtch the god get Quicker, the tongue is the trigger 'Cause I'm real fast Let off some rhythm at 'em Let 'em feel the blast Penetrate at a crazy rate This ain't no .38 Hit 'em at point blank range And watch 'em radiate Runnin' out of ammunition I'm done wit' em You ask me how I did 'em I let the rhythm hit 'em I push a power that's punishable Better be a prisoner The hit man is the Brother wit' charisma Showing you that I have Powerful paragraphs Followers will become leaders But without a path Ya mentally paralyzed Crippled ya third eye Rhymes are blurred Then it occurred that you heard I Reduced the friction with crucifixion Let loose the mix then Boost the piston Eric hit 'em with' some of that Cut like a lumberjack And me gettin' hit back It won't be none of that I'm untouchable You see me in 3-D When I let the rhythm hit another M.C. Lyrics made of lead Enters your head Then eruptions of a mass production Will spread when Music is louder Full of gunpower Microphone machinery When I see a crowd of Party people pumpin' Their fist like this Ya hide in the back Thinkin' that I might miss But the R is accurate Plus I'm packed up with Educated punch lines that I have to hit Whatever I aim at I line 'em up Ya body is weak, feel with pain That time is up You been hit with somethin' Different, isn't it? Rakim is gonna radiate and nothing's equivalent Nothin' can harm me Why try to bar me You couldn't come around THE RA with aN army You'll get wrecked by the architect So respect 'em I disconnect 'em, soon as I inject 'em With radiation Put 'em by the basement Bust his chest open Bash his face in Let it split 'im Since he brought his main man wit' 'im He ask me how I did 'im I let the rhythm hit 'im Let it hit 'im Dance floor's dangerous Packed in like a briefcase Rhyth with ral rough rhyme Beats with deep bass Girls with tight pants Maybe they might dance Tonight if the Rs on the mike There's a slight chance The crowd is crucial M.C.'s grounds are neutral Now that you're here let me introduce you Get ready I'm hard read like graffiti but steady Science I drop is real heavy Radiant energy, that'll be the penalty Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy The prescription's one every hour Now it's a HABIT Ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic Attention: follow directions real close Keep out of reach of children Beware of overdose Too many milligram NO ONE made a iller jam My rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts That kill a man Ideas for the ear to fear Might split 'im He'll never forget 'im He'll rest in peace wit' 'em At least when he left he'll know what hit 'im The last breath of the words of death Was the rhythm Now throw you hands in the air and yo, go Rakim will do the rest of this slow If I speed they know you'll blow the hell up If I slow up, THEY'LL catch up, hell no Wicked as I kicked it Don't need to remix it 'Cause I prefixed it Reversed and switched it To perform to perfection Section for section Rhymes keep connectin' Ya guessin' what's next an' Blood pressure rises, ya damn near lost it Ya hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbit' 'Cause when I explained ya can't complain for pain Travel through the brain hit a vein Then remain, let it radiate Vibes will vibrate Why did you violate Now I'm 'a have to let the style brak Moans now the tone is ingrown After this here's thrown, gimme another microphone Before I get that fifi I met Whisper I wanna reach HER intellect Kiss her 'cause I wanna give her the most respect So I shine and let the write reflect Hold 'er, mold 'er, make 'er feel older Lay her on my shoulder EEverything I told her Makes her feel secure whenever I'm wit' 'er And you know how I did 'er Me and the rhythm hit 'er |
