(Verse 1) As I walk down the street, I see Mercy desguised as broken men, their hands out it's good for a dime or a dollar, for bread perhaps some gin when I say don't have none their eyes run right pass me and dance upon the sun that's when I saw this sixty year old man Otis, his life did go and come
(Chorus) And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah and as she cries, cause her father lied, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance they used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
(Verse 2) When I first saw her, she pretended not to see me and that is okay, cause I know I hurt her and probably deserve every distant and fearfull gaze. I don't know where it came from, I just pushed her, she fell so gracely ;then I looked in the mirror and saw every man that mom dated, they trickled into me
(Chorus) And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah and as we remind that he watched his friend die, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance they used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah and who knew that he would see his born-again seed, we sing hallelujah
I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance I don't know what's going on, and I can't pretend to I used to dance, dance, dance, dance all I can do is rest her into my arms, but I still twitch and turn to I used to dance,dance, dance, dance
(Verse 3) I lit my house to, a god I don't understand and fear too, we're placed here to decide to live or to die, but we have no choice to choose and as we spin around and around in circles I just want to get home, you say, you'll get there later but what about now, can't you swirl the hollow points?
(Chorus) And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah and as pray for his mom that passed away, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance they used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah and as she cries, cause her father lied we sing hallelujah
(2X) I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance I don't know what's going on, and I can't pretend to I used to dance, dance, dance, dance all I can do is rest in her arms, but I still twitch and turn to
(intro (Sam I Am)) "You have you fight for her." "yeah but I try, I try hard!" "Try harder." "No but you don't know, you don't know." "I don't know what?" "Yeah you don't know what it's like when you try, and you try and you try, and you try, but you don't ever get there!"
(chorus) You can say what you want You can pose and front But yo, it don't really matter You can scream You can yell Succeed or fail But you'll slowly start to shatter You can fight You can write You can piss and gripe And try to climb up the ladder But know this, the abyss will swallow And kiss as you become decompost matter
(verse 1) I don't care If my record sells Or if thousands crowd and they yell I don't care If the hip-hop heads turn away And say Pigeon John has turned gay See I don't care Workin as an office clerk To pay rent and to save my sense And I don't care If only two people come to my show I'll still make dents come (chorus) You can say what you want You can pose and front But yo, it don't really matter You can scream You can yell Succeed or fail But you'll slowly start to shatter You can fight You can write You can piss and gripe And try to climb up the ladder But know this, the abyss will swallow And kiss as you become decompost matter (verse two) I don't mind Not being known But being an example that will only be cloned I don't mind Being myself Even if it holds me from possible wealth See I don't mind Living true life And having that peace and the presence of strife And I don't mind If it's night or day Because in the end we will all pass away
All my niggaz in jail come sing my song All my niggaz that don't know that Daddy's singing All my niggaz that don't got no money sing along Sing my song You like her, she don't like you Sing it They don't know Same old times Same old times Gonna be all right

[Verse One] Checking out The Wake Up Show and I know I'm never gonna fit in The pattern sound the same as the flow and it shows That no one's really listening See, all i want to do is be Radiohead And do something ingenuous But I get two stars and half instead In a magazine and it seems hopeless
[Chorus] look and see what you've done to me It's just a perfect formality And if you lock me out, you'll never get the key It's just a perfect formality So, I let it go Let it go, I let it go I let it go, it doesn't matter to me So, I let it go Let it go, I let it go I let it go, it doesn't matter to me
[Verse Two] Meeting all the hip hop stars and it's weird I don't pretend to know them Just noticing who I'll have to eventually kill I don't intend to show them See, all I want to do is be number one And have everyone bow down Why does it feel like it's so hard to be done See, I just want to be cooler than you
[Chorus] Look and see what you've done to me It's just a perfect formality And if you lock me out, you'll never get the key It's just a perfect formality So, I let it go Let it go, I let it go I let it go, it doesn't matter to me So, I let it go Let it go, I let it go I let it go, it doesn't matter to me
(Verse 1) There's a war going on outside, no one is safe from Her silhouette when she blocks the sun And her hair when she wakes up, and it's not done And the laugh as she passes, it makes you numb That's my girl outside in the lobby Slanging my product when I'm fulfilling my hobby She was there before the Cadillac And she was there before the offer from Battle Acts And she was happy in my busted out Turasel It kind of makes me wonder why I rap so well I can't tell if she's helping me or hurting me Cause every time I'm heard her, it's like a murder me That's why I say
(Chorus) I can gain the world, and make some money But it's nothing without you, it's nothing without you really See I can change the world, still be a dummy But it's nothing without you, it's nothing without you really See I can gain the world, and make some money but
(Verse 2) Yep, she got a mini vacuum in the house Washing the car with one side of her blouse A house negro, doing the chores Just to make her happy when she comes home bored From UCLA, I brighten up her day The way I'm wearing my Kangol, make her say "Hey" Eric Sermon, life I'm learning Slowly burning, cook from turning like Roticery, it's so cute to see You walk in the door like (history) It's return of the half felt Third freak, third geek, on my top shelf So easy to see, yet easy to forget You collect dust while I unfold the check girl And I regret it cause
(Chorus)
(Verse 3) You met me at my mom's room I met you in Inglewood in my bedroom alone Listening to music, lost in my holocaust With the fuse lit, caught in a Molotov We used to talk when I was a kid I used to sing the songs that you trapped in my head Alone, but I'm all grown up now A poem, lost in a grown up child But you were there when I cried in my sleep When I heard my moms voice weep And you were there in the dark nights When I knew I had no one to call But I would fall on my own knees But now, so many times I pretend That I don't know you in front of my friends And it's some kind of wonderful Again and again Leave you in the back seat, til the weekend But I still hear you in my head Like when I was a kid That's when I ???? of what I did
(Hey John, this kid knows you) (That's no one yo, that's no one, don't even worry bout it yo)
Freak freak y'all, can I speak y'all? I'm feeling you so much I really wanna reach all Whether short or tall skater Or be a basketball player Or a geek hiding in the bathroom stall I really love y'all, do you love me? Then why do we connect and redefine ecstasy? It's not a pill y'all, it's not a thrill y'all It's not a video buddy, it's what you feel y'all Cause we gon' die soon, and we gon' be forgot If we don't find out why were here and what's the main plot It's so confusing, it's so eluding My name is Pigeon John I'm here to make it soothing Cause times get hard, and girls get scarred That's why they not feelin' you and you're feelin' cold bars And the men too, they don't speak to the kids And the kids become sid and ? instead
(Chorus) Pigeon Juan will turn it upside down 'bout to turn this party upside down Me and you and your crew will take over the town Cause we 'bout to turn this party upside down Pigeon Juan will turn it upside down 'bout to turn this party upside down Me and you and your crew will take over the town Cause we 'bout to turn this party upside down Freak freak y'all, seek seek y'all No matter if the wind blows it makes you fall There's always time to, redefine you Don't think it's too late, the past is behind you I use to drink Baccardi and go to strip clubs And now I... still wanna go to strip clubs See I'm like you, I'm just like you I wanna grow but the cost is too much to But now times up, I gotta drop that I'm talking about me not you behind your back I like to walk alone, dark black streets That's where I find God chillin' in the back seat I say, "I'm sorry", he says, "Don't worry Follow my lead never be in a hurry" I say, "I'm sorry", he says, "Don't worry Follow my lead never be in a hurry"
(Chorus) Pigeon Juan will turn it upside down 'bout to turn this party upside down Me and you and your crew will take over the town Cause we 'bout to turn this party upside down Pigeon Juan will turn it upside down 'bout to turn this party upside down Me and you and your crew will take over the town Cause we 'bout to turn this party upside down
Upside down, upside down, upside down..
"Welcome to the South Bay Blues Where all your dreams and fears come true"
Here I go again Drifting from home And I'm all alone Driving on the 10 Freeway late at night Going towards the shore But what the he** for Cause all we gonna do is fight
Chorus: I'm pretending what I feel Trapped inside what's not real And you tell me all I need to know Yet it blows away and I'm all a...
And here I am Standing at your door Just like before Cause it's all a game They named us as pawns And we're pros at this That's when we kiss And lost what was gone Gasping for air Searching for ground Sinking in my sound But there's nothing there
Chorus
I'm all alone and I'm all alone (repeat)
I'm sorry now What was I to do I'm way past blue Makes me wonder how Could I sink so deep Drowning in my tears Can't even see my peers I think I'll go to sleep
Chorus
And I'm all alone (repeat) I am near you, I am near you my son (repeat)
My son my son My dear son my son Come home come home My dear son Come home come home...
Intro: I can't do it anymore, it's just me and the pen now
Chorus: I know the pressure's in the air A half a million spent and yet you act like you don't care Cause I've seen and read just how easy it is Just throw a rap onto a beat and that's the record biz I know...
Come my way, come my way Up in the place, my label wants a hit song So I can blow up like Mase And that's easy right? Just put a little rap upon the beat And just freak it until it's tight Throw a hook on it Boom there you go Cast it into the lake of consumerism And bloom it's that easy It's like 1,2,3, bingo check my new single Look at Pigeon John as he sings and dance They don't even understand that I have wet my pants With a demented grin I just shake their hands Then go back to the studio and wait for chance
Chorus
I know the pressure's in the air A half a million spent and yet you act like you don't care Cause I've seen and read just how easy it is Just throw a rap onto a beat and that's the record biz And now I'm falling Don't know what to do now And now I'm falling Where the heck is my crew now And now I'm falling
Oh and what am I to do? When my head's drained and dry With no point of view? I'll just...well forget it, I'll just do what I did To get me in the first place when I was I kid I'll make a song about cheerleaders, Cadillacs, Silverlake, White girls, jealousy which then turns to hate, Trader Joe's, ex-girlfriends, and cheap clothes Swingers at three and never do forget "Oooh Weee" And plus insecurity is the key When they're marketing me to society And I'm broke but that's good for publicity Cause it shows the human side of buying my cd
There once was a goat by the name of Sam Sam ate grass stayed away from ham An old little goat with a lot of regrets Sam didn't fit in with the rest of the pets He did his own thing let his hair grow long Went into the mountains to write some songs Down from the hill he began to tread And all the younger goats, they began to dread "Awe here comes Sam the Goat, the one and only master" Quote unquote Sam made friends that put on shows Made money from the rich and wore fancy clothes They set up an event Thursday afternoon The whole town came to hear Sam's new tune The old goat clicked onto the stage Sung one song and the crowd was amazed
Chorus: The goat, come on, goat, come on Goat, come on, goat, everybody! (2x)
Sam made riches Sam made girls Touched four points of the globe in one twirl Custom made goat suits and Prada boots Let everybody know that the goat had loot Now Sam kinda like the way this made him feel Sam got prideful Sam got ill Started doin' coke in the back of the bus Drinking white russians out of plastic cups Smacking his manager spitting on fans Made the headlines without a marketing plan Four star hotels five star cds Dinner in London goats on four knees Sam the old goat was on top of the world And all the younger ones wanted to steal his pearls Private goat jets daily death threats Sam didn't fit in with the rest of the pets
Chorus
Soon the old goat felt all alone And his list of regrets turned into a tall poem: the goat
Chorus: I think that i'm falling slowly and i don't wanna get up I kinda like it down here all I can do is look up When noone's looking i can do exactly what I want I'm going to Orange County I'm going to Orange County
Heh it's kinda risky When me and friends start drinking whiskey Now we spinning and grinning and feeling frisky Throwing bottles out the window like a frisbee Outside yelling at the stars tipsy Trying to find God screaming where is he? Friends grabbing on my sleeves trying to save me Covering my mouth and thought that He gave me And now we sipping the room taking shots like medicine Calming the storms up in the head again Way ahead of excedrine slipping feeling words Spill out the mouth until we freaking hit the bed again And I used to to youth group that what I thinking In the corner with my head down sobbing the truth I got my n***s in the kitchen drinking around the stove Laughing loud and hugging and the 'bout to explode
Chorus
That's when i stand crooked start cussing at my friends Swinging my fist take another shot of Hen Everything seems right everything seems frantic Everything gleams slow motion like trantic Take another sip piss on the carpet All I hear is fuzz all i feel is buzz All I need is Love all i need is hope Hanging on the walls and i'm trying not to float Trying not to choke up swallowing my throw up Watching CKY with my homeys tore up Get a call from my girl and i'm trying to explain That my love in the end only succumes to pain Then I hang up in mid thought and i feel caught In the middle of a hurricane spinning in a loft Then i start pop locking blowing out my snot In the bathroom crying and can't stop lying
Chorus
Oh God why does it have to be this way Never again I promise never this much make it stop ok Make it stop Dude please I'll do whatever you say But let me finish off my Alize

(Chorus)
(Verse) One time for your mind you'll find Pigeon Jack dipped and well equipped wIth a rhyme 100% I dodge dent try to repent but usually fall when I start to climb I'm modern day saint PJ 6th and Alvarado becomes a cliche Never that change format And double that double down Jack Don't ask him but what she say Cause I don't really care what they think Tomorrow they'll be doing my song and will be claiming it's new And 2 years ago they used to say that ain't even hip hop Now they dipped in a Sinatra suit Acting real silly thinking PJ's a joke But they'll be doing exactly what I do I tell you what I'll give you my style right now to save time Cause it takes time for you to chew obviously
(Chorus)

I used to wake up early for work 6 am on the Metro without a perk Had to open the bookstore and press my shirt Cause I had to pay the rent or I was out on dirt My drawer was comin' up short They thought I was stealin" Had to fill a report I said, "My God!

Chorus: Life can drive you crazy Opticals are hazy All I wanna do is be lazy But I gotta get up and graze the field (2X)
Oh my wife be comin' on home Talkin' about her day and I try not to roam See all I wanna do is make a beat And the only interruption's when it's time to eat I know that it is rude But a man's got a short attention span, it's true (Right?
