In The Night Time lyrics
(Hampstead Incident) Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail Rain to the sound of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale. The heath was hung in magic mist, enchanted dripping glades, I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades In the night time. Crystals sparkles in the grass, I polish them with thought. On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught. Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know. Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go In the night time. Crystals sparkles in the grass, I
(feat. Kelis)(Hampstead Incident) Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail Rain to the sound of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale. The heath was hung in magic mist, enchanted dripping glades, I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades In the night time. Crystals sparkles in the grass, I polish them with thought. On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught. Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know.

[Sample - Nas: "Political"]
[Newscaster:] "Recently there has been an emergence of socially
conscious and political rappers. It seems to be
a new trend in the Hip-Hop world."
[DJ scratches sample - Nas: "Nas is a rebel to America" 3X]
[Vers 1: Nas]
Yeah, check it, uh
Spot build-rocker, lil' papa killed Hoffa
Beard lil' longer, feel strong and I'll stop ya
Drill sergeant, still thorough, wheelbarrows of distilled vodka
Get me real bonkers like Will Ferrell on cat tranquilizer
Rap guys get bank and think they messiahs, but they liars
Vote fo who now? You're red, white and blue?
I'm American too, but I ain't with the president's crew
What you peddlin' and who you peddlin' to?
You ain't got the ghetto with you
Try'na lead my sheep to the slaughterhouse
Talkin 'bout +Rap the Vote+, you ain't thought about
The black vote mean nathan, who you gonna elect
Satan or Satan? In the hood nothin is changin, uh
We ain't got no choices who to choose
Ten-years ago they were tryin to stop our voices
And end
Sophistocated Lady lyrics
They say into, our early life romance came, and in this heart of your burned a flame, A flame that flickered one day and dies away. Then, with disillusions deep in your eyes, you learned that fools in love soon grow wise. The years have changed you, somehow; I see you now . . . . . Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant, Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant, Is that all you really want? No, Sophisticated lady, I know, you miss the love you lost long ago, and when nobody is nigh you cry. They say into, our ea
Hip-Hop, they some hypocritesThey say into, our early life romance came, and in this heart of your burned a flame, A flame that flickered one day and dies away. Then, with disillusions deep in your eyes, you learned that fools in love soon grow wise. The years have changed you, somehow; I see you now . . . . . Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant, Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant, Is that all you really want? No, Sophisticated lady, I know, you miss the love you lost long ago, and when nobody is nigh you cry. They say into, our ea
Condoleeza Rice - I don't really get this chick
Tell her if she ever really cared about poor schools
About poor children, then she gotta prove that she
ain't just another coon Uncle Tom fool
Like these MC's, gotta give 'em the rules
Lie to the youth, Uncle Tom you confused
Might as well give the Hip-Hop community a noose
Need a truce with the gangs and some food for the hungry
On Kerry nuts, he look at you like a monkey
You MC's on that old slavery path
The Bushs'll look at yo' ass and laugh
See, it's all about community, let's help ourselves
Cops brutalize us get dealt with with shells
It's our turn, it's 'bout time we win
Need somebody as the hood as my councilman, uh
[Chorus: Kelis]
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
([Nas:] Cause that's the American way)
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way

The Dreams Of Candlelight lyrics
( THERESA )COULD THIS NIGHT IT LAST FOREVEREVERY MOMENT HELD TOGETHER AS IF IN A PERFECT TRANCE AND SUCH A THING COULD BE NO ONE ELSE WOULD UNDERSTAND IT WE WOULD KNOW THE GODS HAD PLANNED IT AND FOR SUCH A NIGHT AS THIS THAT THEY GAVE MEMORY AND WE WOULD LIVE INSIDE THIS NIGHT WITHIN THE DREAMS OF CANDLELIGHT IF YOU WOULD BRING THIS WISH TO LIFE AND SPEND THIS NIGHT WITH ME COULD THIS MOMENT LAST FOREVER AND THIS DREAM OUR ONE ENDEAVOR IF THE STARS WOULD JUST ENCHANT AND TIME WOULD THEN AGREEexfoliating the skin
It's rarely men conversatin' on ends, probably businessmen
I sense good taste, and they watch us, the spots an expensive place
Manhattan New York, I'm try'na keep steamin'
It's good for the lungs, had plans for the evening
This man leans in, his boys laughing
Now I'm the spokesperson for Black men, this always happens
Says, "Since all Black women care about is who got dough
And all we do is call them either bitch or a Black hoe"
I say first brotha you ain't gotta be that cold
Since you ignorant, I'ma show you how the facts go
The biggest example in scandal of history
Were Monica Lewinksy or Donald Trump's pimping spree
Most woman who love Jeevanji of Gucci
Are pretentious non-Black groupies or floozies
But who are we to blame, not the dames
It's a man-made game, in essence our woman the same
Beautiful creatures, Black girls birthed the earth
So they deserve to earn man's purse
Matter fact, I'm about to go shopping with my dime
Catch you cowards the next time, the next rhyme, uh

([Nas:] Ha, yeah)
I don't care about the runaways
I don't care about who's gay
I don't care about dying of AIDS
But I care if I got paid
Who even cares about the president?
I think they're making a mistake
I don't care about the hurricane
As long as my family's safe
I don't care about the candidates
They burnt this country to bits
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way ([Nas:] Uh)
Can we make a change
You know it's not overnight
Let's start the fight (Nas: And ya don't stop, uh)
Can we make a change
You know it's not overnight
Let's start the fight (Nas: Yeah)
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way

The Crowd lyrics
Lord unchain my hands Let me sing inside the crowded trams Let me dance among the traffic jams We're going to sleep On the St Kilda sands Lord unbind my feet Let me mingle with the good people We meet Water rising up into the street Unbind my feet 'The apparition of these faces in The crowd; Petals on a wet black bough" Ezra Pound found the formula Our houses are rectangular But life is curved not angular So when things start to strangular Remember Rain still falls on the halls
