Uhh,
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel (Chorus - Elton John:) Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns (2Pac) If I could recollect before my hood days I'd sit and reminisce, Thinkin' of bliss and the good days I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em They tested, it was stressed that they under In our days, things changed Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts cause any day they'll push the button and all good men like Malcolm X and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly there's no need for you to fear me if you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me it aint about black or white, cuz we're human I hope we see the light before its ruined my ghetto gospel (Chorus - Elton John:) Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns (2Pac) Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy Guess she's given birth to a baby I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan We jump into another form of slavery Even now I get discouraged Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage I refuse to be a role model I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle I make mistakes, but learn from every one And when its said and done I bet this Brotha be a better one If I'm upset, you don't stress Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet I feel his hand on my brain When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the Lord do his thang But am I less holy Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies Before we find world peace We gotta find peace in that war on the streets My ghetto gospel (Chorus - Elton John:) Those who wish to follow me (Yeah My ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns (2Pac) Lord can you hear me speak!! To pay the price of being hell bound... |

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like its forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long before you and me run To the place in our hearts where we hide And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second without hesitation And never forget I'm your man Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Laughing like children living like lovers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Laughing like children living like lovers And I guess thats why they call it the blues And I guess thats why they call it the blues |

I cant control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me like a river Into the great unknown I stepped onto the moving stairs before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out of the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues And his promise made was never clear It just carve itself in me All I saw was frost inside my hand On the night he said to me Someday we'll live like horses Free rein From you old iron fences There's more ways than one To regain your senses Break out the stalls And we'll live like horses We're the victims of the heartbreak that kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net I stood in line to join the tribe One more customer of fate claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train On the road to the golden gate On the flat dry dessert I jumped ship It just made sense to me I've spent too long in the belly of the beast And now I shall be free Someday We'll live like horses Free rein From you old iron fences There's more ways than one To regain your senses Break out the stalls And we'll live like horses |

I didn't mean to hurt you
You know it's just my way Those things that I said yesterday Were things I shouldn't say Although you're blue Just one thing I want you to do Just forget all those things That I said about you Cause I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And if you go away I just won't know what to do Yes I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And you know in your heart That I'll always worship you I couldn't bear to see you go Oh no no no no So don't you feel sad It's not the thing to do Because I worry If I know you're feeling blue Please put your tears away So nobody can see Cause the last thing I want Is for you to cry over me |

This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight
How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night If I take a drink, is that against the law And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own And if you think it's easy to forget about me You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war We're living on the front line you and me Fighting on this battleground of misery Oh go ahead bring on your artillery And we'll make this an act of war Give it all you've got 'cause I'm all dug in Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin Winner takes all, let the best man win And we call it an act of war Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play If living together is getting in the way Then I call that an act of war Well if that's your game then honey two can play I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay I call it, I call it an act of war And it looks like time ain't been on our side If we could turn the clock back We might survive this act of war |

from Elton John - Easier to Walk Away [single] (2007)
Every time you turn around
You wear another face Every time I look away I find a hiding place If you knew me like you knew him You would know just how I feel Slipping through someone′s fingers Falling under someone′s wheels It′s easier to walk away Better off to face the facts When love holds you up for ransom Walk away and don′t look back Never seen you looking back through Smiling eyes and tears Never knew you holding on to Memories and fears Just release me I can′t take it Can′t you see a change has come Strangled by infatuation Buried under someone′s thumb It′s easier to walk away Cover and fade to black When love scars and leaves you branded Walk away and don′t look back Every time you turn around You wear another face Every time I look away I find a hiding place |

The Bridge - Elton John
I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long And they built it high and they built it strong Strong enough to hold the weight of time Long enough to leave some of us behind [Chorus:] And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away Standing on the bridge looking at the waves Seen so many jump, never seen one saved On a distant beach your song can die On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide [Chorus] And the bridge it shines Oh cold hard iron Saying come and risk it all Or die trying [Chorus] |

Seen him playing in his backyard
Young boy just starting out So much history in this landscape So much confusion, so much doubt Been there drinking on that front porch Angry kids, mean and dumb Looks like a painting, that blue skyline God hates fags where we come from 'Western skies' don't make it right 'Home of the brave' don't make no sense I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire Left to die on a high ridge fence It's a cold, cold wind It's a cold, cold wind It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming See two coyotes run down a deer Hate what we don't understand You pioneers give us your children But it's your blood that stains their hands Somewhere that road forks up ahead To ignorance and innocence Three lives drift on different winds Two lives ruined, one life spent |

I'm stoned in the twilight
Screaming on the inside Give me your water, help me survive Gonna miss the sunlight When I lose my eyesight Give me my red shoes, I want to dance They search for an answer But that old man wouldn't listen Back then I was handsome Back then he was ignorant And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymore Had garlands in the wings back then All the pretty little things back then Calling out my name, oh what fame brings After curtain calls and bows I can't see the front row now Hand me my red shoes just one more time They pushed aside our presence They refused to go the distance Back then I was Sigmund Back then he wouldn't listen |

from Elton John - Songs From The West Coast (2001)
There's some things I don't have now
Some things I don't talk about These things are between myself and I In my thick skull the joker hides There's consequences I'm scared to taste Cold hard truths I can't face These days are different than the past Reflections change in the looking glass And everywhere I look there's something to learn A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn A hatful of quarters and a naked song Don't answer the question of where we belong How come birds Don't fall from the sky when they die? How come birds Always look for a quiet place to hide These words Can't explain what I feel inside? Like birds I need a quiet place to hide These independent moves I make This confidence I try to fake You can hear the beating of my heart But not a feather falling in the dark And everything I hear never makes any sense Another old prophet perched on the fence A cupful of pencils and a self help guru Don't answer the question of what I am to you |

Oh, I'm a dark diamond
I've turned hard and cold Once was a jewel with fire in my soul There's two sides of a mirror One I couldn't break through Stayed trapped on the inside, wound up losing you Tell me how does it work How do you make things fit Spent all my life trying to get it right I've put it together and it falls apart I thought to myself I might understand But when the wall's built And the heart hardens You get a dark diamond Dark diamond Oh, I'm a dark diamond But you're something else You read me more than I read myself The one star I could count on Only comet I could trust You burnt through my life to the true meaning of love |

I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible A man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated I can't love, shot full of holes Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold Don't feel nothing, just old scars Toughening up around my heart But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love I want love on my own terms After everything I've ever learned Me, I carry too much baggage Oh man I've seen so much traffic But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love So bring it on, I've been bruised Don't give me love that's clean and smooth I'm ready for the rougher stuff No sweet romance, I've had enough A man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love |

I'll take a rainy day
To make a champagne shower Poach some horn and tusk To build an ivory tower Been to Philadelphia The day it was closed I walked to New Orleans Down a Louisiana road The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees But not a skull among 'em said boo to me In a time of wine and cheap cigars I'm on top of the world Top of the world Ma Look Ma no hands Look Ma ain't life grand I'm a super power, I'm a handy man Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be Everything you wanted Ma Ain't you proud of me It takes a silver tongue To have the Midas touch Not your alchemist Making gold from rust Been down in Roswell When the Martians came I sailed to Mandeville Across Lake Pontchartrain |

You can take her
Make her change her name You and your old money Dance around the flame But you can never, never love her like me You can charm her Calm her when she's wild Show a little comfort Play with her inner child But you can never, never love her like me So I just close my eyes and steal her away when you sleep Sneak her in my dreams every single day of the week You may have her in real world but if you could only see How we rock this room in the twilight zone And you can never, never love her like me You can warm her Charm her with your style I know you convinced her She's the love of your life And no, you'll never, never love her like me You can bless her Keep her conscience clean You can undress her Go all the places I've been But you'll never, never love her like me |

It's a case I guess of paradise lost
Ten years back on the hands of the clock In that little house on Mansfield On your old block Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got Just you and me at a crossroads then Ain't it funny how we were old friends Accidentally thrown together Did we intend To be the romantic novel you never want to end And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight' In between the Star of David and the California moon The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room We were crazy, wild and running Blind to the change to come In that little house on Mansfield We'd wake at the break of dawn In an Indian summer gone In the candlelight I can recall Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall Like a wild pony dancing Along the wall Off balance I found love the only place to fall |

Oh, it's carnival night
And they're stringing the lights around you Hanging paper angels Painting little devils on the roof Oh the furnace wind Is a flickering of wings about your face In a cloud of incense Yea, it smells like Heaven in this place *I can't eat, can't sleep Still I hunger for you when you look at me That face, those eyes All the sinful pleasures deep inside **Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in underneath my skin, Oh you were always my original sin And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin this dangerous game Oh you were always my original sin A dream will fly The moment that you open up your eyes A dream is just a riddle Ghosts from every corner of your life Up in the balcony All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand Blowing theater kisses Reciting lines they don't understand *Repeat **Repeat **Repeat |

We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
In that upstairs apartment On Orlando and 4th And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking Like a Chinese proverb We were always searching Nightlife's a no-win but nobody noticed How we killed off the bottles Looking good on the surface The dog days barked and the house cat got old We were Bonnie and Clyde In the emperor's new clothes And the tears never came They just stayed in our eyes We refused to admit that we wore this disguise Every inch of us growing Like Pinocchio's nose As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants In the state of illusion In the nation of chance And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving As the dashboard Madonna Smiled back at us kindly We cheated the system never batting an eyelid Seeing only the good Through the holes in our shoes And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly We were two little gods In the emperor's new clothes |

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin You can't always count on the prayers in your sleep But this cold light's still killing me If I pay the ransom Well can they guarantee To split the chains, slip the knots I don't know if they'll ever set you free I just can't rely on all these twisted signs Too many bright lights turn you blind The history of the blues Seems to swim in your eyes Pick yourself up, throw your head back Take a long, long look into the sky Are you out there, are you listening Am I'm coming across to you Is the North Star still shining In the sky outside your room You can listen but they're lying Don't let them tell you What you've always known It's the North Star that's the big one And it's always gonna lead you home Can't always agree on all my dumb ideas I'm still looking for a way out of here You can value what you want But you pay for change There's full moons, cold lifeless nights And tumbled stars spell out your name Close your eyes, take a ride Think of everytime that you missed your opp click your heels, see how it feels Something so childish |

Some days I think it's all a dream
The things I've done, the places that I've been This life of mine seemed surreal at times Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind Could it be I'm not for real? I've slapped my face to check out how I feel There's hostages to prove it's true Who lives behind the mask was never proved Come on Robert Johnson Though we're worlds apart You and I know what it's like With the devil in our heart You sold your soul at the crossroads Kept a little of mine on hand I'm wading out this muddy water Been stranded in the Wasteland Rattling chains all around my bed Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead I'm not dying and I'm far from gone The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on |

You may not believe it
But I don't believe in miracles anymore And when I think about it I don't believe I ever did for sure All the things I've said in songs All the purple prose you bought from me Reality's just black and white The sentimental things I'd write Never meant that much to me I used to be the main express All steam and whistles heading west Picking up my pain from door to door Riding on the storyline Furnace burning overtime But this train don't stop, This train don't stop, This train don't stop there anymore You don't need to hear it But I'm dried up and sick to death of love If you need to know it I never really understood that stuff All the stars and bleeding hearts All the tears that welled up in my eyes Never meant a thing to me Read 'em as they say and weep I've never felt enough to cry When I said that I don't care It really means my engine's breaking down The chisel chips my heart again The granite cracks beneath my skin I crumble into pieces on the ground |

You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky
You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon You can beat the clock, but before high noon You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You′ve got one life with a reason You need two hearts on one side When you stand alone and there′s no one there To share the way it feels inside and baby You can cheat the devil and slice a piece of the sun Burn up the highway but before you run You gotta love someone You gotta love someone When you′re gonna play with fire You let someone share the heat When you′re on your own and there′s no one there To cool the flames beneath your feet and baby You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You gotta love someone |
