Jack Johnson - Staple it together

It′s really too bad he became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack
then held up the list of things he gotta to do
it′s really no good
he′s movin on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he

better staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather

well i guess you could say
that he don′t even know where to begin
cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Digging deep into the ditch every chance he missed
and the mess he made
cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid, a mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller, and his world is getting smaller

better staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather

it′s really too bad he became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack
then held up the list of things he′s got to do
it′s really no good
he′s movin on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he

better staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather
staple it together and call a bad weather

if the weather gets better we should get together
spend a little time or we could do whatever
and if we get together we′ll be twice as clever
so staple it together and call it bad weather

Jack Johnson - Holes To Heaven

The air was more than human
And the heat was more than hungry
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes

The bulls were running wild
Because their big and mean and sacred
And the children were playing cricket with no shoes

The next morning we woke a man with a seven hour drive
Well there we were stuck in port claire
Where boats break and children stare
And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
Mmhmm
And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
Mmhmm

Disembarking from the port
With no mistakes of any sort
Moving soundly engine running smooth

Officials were quite friendly
Once we drown them with our sweet talk
And we bribe them with our cigarettes and booze

The next morning we woke a man with the sunrise to the right
Moving back north to port claire
Where boats break and children stare
And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
Mmhmm
Yes and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
Mmhmm

Jack Johnson - Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology

Everybody is made of clay
That′s what they used to say
Until the truth stepped on us all
Now everything that was big is small
We′re just little crying robots
Program me
I wanna win the race
I wanna find the place
Where the king
Locked up the princess
Jump the fence
And drink a little bit of...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now who is the king of the sky
Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why
Is the game always changing
I′ve been through some strangeness
What′s the matter
Is the feast not fat enough
Up the ladder with your feet
Reaching with your hands
You can feel it and dream it
I know you want to believe it
Just steal it
Take a piece of the sun
And drink some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now everybody′s in the play
At least that′s what the script
Told me to say
It said:
Shadows cut across the hero′s face
He falls from grace
Until a little bird sang:
The truth is never ending
We′re just here pretending
Let′s all laugh so that we don′t cry
Let′s all life our glasses up to the sky
For some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Jack Johnson - When I Look Up

When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It Feels good

When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It Feels good

The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So it falls behind spaces
And hides behind clouds

When I look up at the clouds
As they move through the night
With the wind
As I walk down the street

The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So I step on the shadows
Of my own feet

Jack Johnson - Posters

Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else

Because the posters on the wall they don′t look like him at all

So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain′t loved at all

He gets his courage from the can,
It makes him feel like a man
Because he′s loving all the ladies
But the ladies don′t love him at all

Cause when he′s not drunk
He′s only stuck on himself
And then he has the nerve
To say he needs a decent girl

Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else
Because the body of the doll it don′t look like hers at all

So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin
Laughing at herself because she knows she ain′t that at all

All caught up in the trends
Well the truth began to bend
And the next thing you know man
There just ain′t no truth left at all

Cause when the pretty girl walks
She walks so proud
And when the pretty girl laughs
Oh man, she laughs so loud

And if it ain′t this then its that
As a matter of fact
She hasn′t had a day to relax
Since she has lost her ability to think clearly

Well I′m an energetic hypothetic version of another person
Check out my outsides there ain′t nothing in here

Well I′m a superficial, systematic, music television addict
Check out my outsides there ain′t nothing in

Here comes another one, just like the other one
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
Because the posters on the wall they don′t look like a him
And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain′t loved at all
He knows he ain′t loved at all

Jack Johnson - You And Your Heart

Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, You broken king
Watch you change the frame or
Watch you when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

[Chorus]
Cause you and your heart
Shouldn′t feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you′re not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don′t like
It′s just so easy, it′s just so easy

[Chorus]
But you and your heart
Shouldn′t feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard
Oh and you and your heart
Shouldn′t anekatips feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you′re gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and

Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away

Jack Johnson - All At Once

All at once,
The world can′t overwhelm me
There′s almost nothin′ that you could tell me
That could ease my mind

Which way will you run
When it′s always all around you
And the feelin′ lost and found you again
A feelin′ that we have no control
Around a song
Some say
There′s gonna be the new hell
Some say
It′s still too early to tell
Some say
It really ain′t no myth at all

Keep askin′ ourselves are we really
Strong enough
There′s so many things that we got
Too proud of
We′re too proud of
We′re too proud of

I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
Instead we′ll plant some seeds
We′ll watch em′ as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
Theres this heart all alone

What about is gone
And it really won′t be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin′ from at all

Theres a world we′ve never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If your waitin on the wind
Don′t forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We′ll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But i′ll reach to you from where time just cant go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin′ from at all

Jack Johnson - Pictures Of People Taking Pictures

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the background of the picture
Was water running to the sea

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

The feed back loop
Is closing is so tight
Surrounding ourselves
With satellites

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing

Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns

Sweepin the floors, open up the doors
Yeah turn on the lights, getting ready for the night
Nobody′s romancing, ′cause its too early for dancing
But here comes the music ...
Bright lights flashing
They cover up your lack of so many people
So many problems
So many reason to buy another round
Drink it down
Just another night on the town
With the big man, money man, better then the other man
He got the plan, with the million dollar give a damn
What nobody understands
Become a smaller man, the bright lights keep flashin,
Women keep on dancing with the clowns,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
They pick me up when I′m down,
Yeah, yeah,
The rodeo clowns
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they pick me up when I′m down
The disco ball
And the shots of tequila,
Man they say that they need ya
What they really need, is just a little room to breath
Teeny bopping disco queen
She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings
And other kinds of things
Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange
Is that the changes occur
And now she′s just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man i thought that you heard
Yeah, yeah
The changes occurred
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a part of the herd
Lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground
You walk by look at him, but he can′t look at you
Yeah, you might feel pity, but he only feels the ground
You understand moves, but he only knows let down
By the corner, there′s another one
Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man
Well he tried to live, but he′s done trying
Not dead, but definitely dying
With the rest of the clowns
Yeah, yeah
mmm mmm mmmm mmmm
With the rest of the clowns
Sweepin the floors, open up the doors,
Yeah turn on the lights, getting ready for the night
Nobody′s romancing, ′cause its too early for dancing
But here comes the music

Jack Johnson - While We Wait

It feels right
It feels wrong
It feels like when you have it, then it′s gone
I want more
More and more
And if you steal the fire
Give me some
Cause the sun
Disobeys while it waits for a friend to arrive from the past
What holds us around, and around
While we wait

Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you′d see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain′t the Lord, I′m just a fool
and in love with somebody don′t make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn′t worth never having you

Maybe you′ve been through this before
But it′s my first time so please ignore
These next few lines because they′re directed at you

I can′t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can′t always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it′s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I′ve had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I′m already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I′d put down all my ammunition
I′d wonder why it had taken me so long

But the lord knows that I′m not you
and if I was I wouldn′t be so cruel
cause waitin′ on love ain′t so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

Jack Johnson - Sleep Through the Static

Trouble travels fast
When you′re specially designed for crash testing
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
Come on and tell us what you′re trying to prove

Because it′s a battle when you dabble in war
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
And send it to somebody who′s pretending to care

Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
Over conversations relationships are overrated
ГЇВїВЅI hated everyoneГЇВїВЅ said the sun

And so I will cook all your books
You′re too good looking and mistooken
You could watch it instead
From the comfort of your burning beds
ГЇВїВЅOr you can sleep through the static

Who needs sleep when we′ve got love?
Who needs keys when we′ve got clubs?
Who needs please when we′ve got guns?
Who needs peace when we′ve gone above
But beyond where we should have gone?
We went beyond where we should have gone

Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things that never came

Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
And either you′re weak or you′ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we say not as we do

We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
That′s no way to treat an enemy

Well mighty mighty appetite
We just eat ′em up and keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this angle can see

But who needs to see what we′ve done?
Who needs please when we′ve got guns?
Who needs keys when we′ve got clubs?
Who needs peace when we′ve gone above
But beyond where we should have gone?
Beyond where we should have gone
We went beyond where we should have gone
Beyond where we should have gone

Jack Johnson - Flake

I know she said it′s alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it′s not right
There ain′t no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don′t
I′m so, I′m so tired, I′m so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we′re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she′s gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn′t want to break ′em, nah, I wouldn′t want to break ′em
Maybe she′ll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I′m gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we′re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you′ll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don′t pass me
Please please please don′t pass me
Please please please don′t pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me down

Jack Johnson - Adrift

Your voice is adrift
I can′t expect it to sing to me
As if I was the only one

I′ll follow you
The leaf that′s following the sun
When will my weight be too much for you?
When will these ideas really be my own?
Cause this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

This was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up
You planted me in my own body
Don′t know why
But somehow it just feels so wrong
When you′re sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I′ll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only one

Your voice is your own, I can′t protect it
You′ll have to sing
A verse no one has ever known

Don′t be afraid
Cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

Jack Johnson - Good People

well you win- it′s your show now
so what′s it gonna be?
cause people will tune in-
how many train wrecks do we need to see?
before we lose touch of-
and we thought this was low
well it′s bad, getting worse so

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

they got this and that
with a rattle-a-tat
testing- 1 2
now what you gonna do?
bad news, misused
got too much to lose
gimme some truth
now whose side are we on?
whatever you say, turn on the boobtube
i′m in the mood to obey
so leave me astray, and by the way now

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

sitting around feeling far away
so far away but i can feel the debris
can you feel it ?
you interrupt me from a friendly conversation
to tell me how great it′s all gonna be
you might notice some hesitation
cause it′s important to you, it′s not important to me
but way down by the edge of your reasons
well it′s begining to show
and all i really wanna know is

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

[ chorus + verse 2 at the same time ]
they got this and that
with a rattle-a-tat
testing- 1 2
now what you gonna do?
bad news, misused
gimme some truth
you got too much to lose
now whose side are we on?
today, anyday- ok whatever you say,
wrong or resolute, i′m in the mood to obey
station through station
desensitizing the nation

where′d all the good people go ?

going..
going ..
gone.

Jack Johnson - Gone

Look at all those fancy clothes,
But these could keep us warm just like those.
And what about your soul? Is it cold?
Is it straight from the mold, and ready to be sold?

And cars and phones and diamond rings,
Bling, bling, because those are only removable things.
And what about your mind? Does it shine?
Are there things that concern you, more than your time?

Gone, the wind.
Gone, everything.
Gone, don
Gone, be the birds, when they don
Gone, people, all awkward with their things,
Gone.

Look at you, out to make a deal.
You try to be appealing, but you lose your appeal.
And what about those shoes you
They

Are you willing to sell, anything?
Gone, with your head.
Leave your footprints,
And we
Gone, people, all careful and consumed.

Gone, gone, gone, everything.
Gone, don
Gone, be the birds, when they don
Gone, people, all awkward with their things, Gone.

Jack Johnson - The Horizon Has Been Defeated

The horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age
Alien casinos
Well maybe it′s just time to say
Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The troubles just seems to stay

Future complications
In the strings between the cans
But no prints can come from fingers
If machines become our hands
And then our feet become the wheels
And then the wheels become the cars
And then the rigs begin to drill
Until the drilling goes too far

Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The horizon begins to fade away

Thingamajigsaw puzzled
Anger don′t you step too close
Because people are lonely and only
Animals with fancy shoes
Hallelujah zig zag nothing
Misery it′s on the loose
Because people are lonely and only
Animals with too many tools
That can build all the junk that we sell
Sometimes it makes you want to yell

Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The horizon begins to fade away

Jack Johnson - Cocoon

Well based on your smile
I′m betting all of this
Might be over soon
But your bound to win
Cause if I′m betting against you
I think I′d rather lose
But this is all that I have

So please
Take what′s left of this heart and use
Please use only what you really need
You know I only have so little
So please
Mend your broken heart and leave

I know it′s not your style
I can tell by the way that you move
It′s real, real soon
But I′m on your side
And I don′t want to be your regret
I′d rather be your cocoon
But this is all that you have

So please
Let me take what′s left of your heart and I will use
I swear I′ll use only what I need
I know you only have so little
So please
Let me mend my broken heart and

You said this was all you had
And it′s all I need
But blah blah blah
Because it fell apart and
I guess it′s all you knew
And all I have
But now we have
Only confused hearts and
I guess all we have
Is really all we need

So please
Let′s take these broken hearts and use
Let′s use only what we really need
You know we only have so little
So please
Take these broken hearts and leave

Jack Johnson - To The Sea

Bring on your hunters
Let them bring their dogs
It′s me that your wanted
I′ve been right here all along
Right here all along

You better bring your buckets
We′re got some dreams to drain
I′ll be at the bottom
I′ve been right here waiting so long
Just waiting so long

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I′ll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you′ll come back
To set us free

Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We′ve got to get right down to the sea
We′ve got to get to the sea

Oh my dear son
We′re got to get to the sea

But don′t you touch the water
Don′t you barely breathe
And if you see yourself
Looking back at you
You′re going to have to leave
You′re going to have to leave
I don′t want you to go
But you′ve got to leave

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I′ll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you′ll come back
You′re going to set us free

I don′t want you to go
But you′ve got to leave
You can always come to me
I′ll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We′ve got to get to the sea

Jack Johnson - Enemy

After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snake
That I choked on the teeth
They were mine all along

I picked up the pieces when I woke
Put them in a boat made of things that I don′t want to see
I blew on the sail
Watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the closer it came to me
I can′t explain

So I took it apart in a billion boxes
There was only one thing
You might think I′m your enemy
But that don′t make you mine
And all I have now is above thee
I wish that you′d stop trying
Oh, please stop lying
Stop la la la la la la la
La la la la laГЇВїВЅ
The hatred in the box then I locked
The strongest one I knew
I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns
Sat beneath the shade
You might think I′m your enemy
But that don′t make you mine
And all I have now is above thee
I wish that you′d stop trying
Oh please stop lying
Please stop la la la la la la
La la la la laГЇВїВЅ

Jack Johnson - The Upsetter

Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you′re asleep
They′ll be here still
Breathing out or in
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you′re asleep
They′ll be here still
Breathing out or in

Jack Johnson - Losing Keys

Don′t worry
Everybody in the room notices you
Sit back and relax
The night is early
We are about to overdo it
So come and tell me something that you′ve already told me
Cause everybody′s heard our lovely stories
I′m hoping some of them are true

I′ve been losing lots of keys lately,
I don′t know what that means
But maybe I′ve been better off with things that can′t be locked at all
I′ve been feeling kind of sea sick lately,
See you reaching to me gonna save me
You were me, I would much rather take the fall

The world has its ways
To quite us down
The world has its ways
To quiet us down comes the rain
Down comes our spirits again
But Down comes the strength
To lift us up and thenГЇВїВЅ

Been going up when now
For to long
Forget how
To let go
Seems to hard
To late now
To turn around
The world has its ways
To quite us down
The world has its ways
To quiet us down comes rain
Down comes our spirits again
Down comes the strength
To lift us up and thenГЇВїВЅ

Jack Johnson - Crying Shame

it′s such a tight game
will it ever stop ?
how will this all play out
of sight out of mind now

by now we should know how to communicate
instead of coming to blows
we′re on the road and there aint no stopping us now
we′re burning under control
isn′t it strange how we′re all burning
under the same sun
by now they say if it′s a war for peace
it′s the same old game
but do we really wanna blame ?
we could close our eyes it′s still there
we could say it′s us against them
we could try but nobody wins
gravity has got a hold on us all
we could try to put it out
but it′s a growing flame
using fear as fuel
burning down our name
and it won′t take too long
Words all burn the same
And who are we going to blame
now and all

it′s such a crying, crying, crying shame
it′s such a crying, crying, crying shame
it′s such a crying, crying, crying shame
shame shame shame

by now it′s beginning to show
A number of people are numbers that aren
i could close my eyes it′s still there
close my mind, be alone
i could close my heart and not care
but gravity has got a hold on us all

it′s a terrific price to pay
but in the true sense of the word
are we using what we′ve learned
in the true sense of the word
are we losing what we were

It
will it ever stop ?
it′s not for me to say
and is it in our blood ?
or is it just our fate ?
and how will this all play out ?
both sides out of my mind now
who are we gonna blame all in all ?

it′s just a crying, crying crying shame
it′s such a crying, crying crying shame
it′s such a crying, crying crying shame
shame shame shame

Jack Johnson - Drink the Water

Drink the water drink it down
This time I know I′m bound
To spit it back up
I didn′t want this
Salty substitute, just not going to do
I need some air, if I′m going to live through
This experience reminds me of a clock
That just won′t tick

I want to wake up
From this concussion
But my dream is just not done
I′m late again,
It′s just one of those
Bad days look outside and
Be careful what you ride
You just might find
That you′re out of time
To swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I′ll be home

He′s got delusions between his ears
Man it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears man
He′ll never ever leave this place
He′s got stones instead of bones
And everybody knows
That can make you real real slow
And if heaven was below
He′d know just where to go
Dive in the ocean
And he′d sink like a stone
And he′d say
It′s time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I′ll be home

Hold on if you can
You′re gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine so hold
Hold on if you can
You′re gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine so hold

It′s just time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I′ll be home

Jack Johnson - Dreams Be Dreams

She′s just waiting for the summertime when the weathers fine
She could hitch a ride out of town
And so far away from that low town good for nothing mistake making fool
With excuses like baby that was a long time ago
But that′s just a euphemism if you want the truth he was out of control
But a short times just a long time then your mind just won′t let it go

Well summer came along and it then was gone and so was she
Not from him because he followed her just to let her know
A dreams a dream
And all this livings so much harder than it seems
But girl don′t let your dreams be dreams
You know this livings not so hard as it seems
Don′t let your dreams dreams
Your dreams your dreams be dreams

Jack Johnson - Wasting Time

Yea
And I′m just a waste of her energy
And she′s just wasting my time
Mmhmmm
So why don′t we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight
Yea
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight

And I don′t pretend to know what you know
No no
Now please don′t pretend to know what′s on my mind
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight
Oh but everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Nobody knows
Anything about themselves
Cause their all worried about everybody else
Yea
Oh

Loves just a waste of our energy yea
And this life′s just a waste of our time
So why don′t we get together
We could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all yea
But everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Now now now nobody knows
Anything about themselves
Cause their all worried about everybody else yea
Oh
And we could waste

Jack Johnson - Situations

situation number one, it′s the one that′s just begun
but evidently it′s too late
situation number two, it′s the only chance for you
it′s controlled by denizens of hate
situation number three, it′s the one that noone sees
all too often dismissed as fate
situation number four, the one that left you wanting more
it tantalized you with its bait

Jack Johnson - Angel

I′ve got an angel
She doesn′t wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

She could make angels
I′ve seen it with my own eyes
You gotta be careful when you′ve got good love
Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying

But you′re so busy changing the world
Just one smile can change all of mine
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Umm umm umm uhhhhhhmm

Jack Johnson - Cookie Jar

Cause lies were killing me and the censor begun
You cant blame me cause I′m too young

You cant blame me sure the killer was my son
But I didn′t teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It′s the killer on this TV screen
You cant blame me its those images he sees

Well you cant blame me says the media man
Well I wasn′t the one who came up with the plan
I just filled my camera with what the people want to see
Man it′s a two way mirror and you cant blame me

You cant blame me says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
It′s only entertainment and as anyone can see
The smoke machines and makeup
Hey you cant fool me

It was you it was me it was every man
We′ve all got the blood on our hands
We only receive what we demand
And if we want hell then hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV
But its so embarrasing
To see all the other people
I don′t even know that they mean
And it was magic at first
But it let everyone down
And now this world is gonna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around

Jack Johnson - Banana Pancakes

Can′t you see that it′s just rainin

Jack Johnson - Mediocre Bad Guys

Well don′t give me no comic book sad looks no more
Please don′t use those same excuses you′ve used before
Mmm hmmm Mmm hmmm
You told yourself so many times it′s okay
So be good to try
But you just don′t know how to come back down
And now you beat me up, you break me down
Hoping I don′t come around,
Kick me when I′m on the ground,
Beat me up, break me down,
Hoping I don′t come around,
Kick me when I′m on the ground

Well how about those people I know that you know the ones I mean
Not so good, not so bad
Only know what they have
And they have only what they′ve seen
Them mediocre bad guys can really bring you down
They can′t be defeated, and you know
They′re never going to come around

They just beat me up and break me down
Hoping I don′t come around
Kick me when I′m on the ground
Beat me up, and break me down
Hoping I don′t come around
Kick me when I′m on the ground
They just beat me up and break me down
Hoping I don′t come around
Kick me when I′m on the ground
Beat me up, and break me down
Hoping I don′t come around
Kick me when I′m on the ground
Beat me up and break me down
Hoping I don′t come around
Kick me when I′m on the ground
Beat me up, break me down

Kick me when I′m on the ground

Jack Johnson - Breakdown

i hope this old train breaks down
then i can take a walk around and
see what there is to see
time is just a melody

but the people in the streets
walk as fast as their feet can take em

and though my window′s got a view
well the frame im lookin′ through
seems to have no concern for now so for now

old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown

well this engine screams out loud
centipede gonna crawl westbound and
so i don′t even make a sound cause
its gonna sting me when leave this town

and all the people in the streets

and i got no time

but you can′t stop nothin′
if you got no control
of the thoughts in your mind
that you kept and you know
you dont know nothin
but you dont need to know
the wisdoms in the trees
not the glass windows
you can′t stop wishin if you dont let go
the things that you find and you lose and you know
you keep on rollin′

the frame′s too bright
so put the blinds down low

i need this
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown

Jack Johnson - Taylor

Taylor was a good girl
never one to be late
complain express ideas in her brain
Workin on the night shift
passin out the tickets
you′re gonna have to pay her
if you want to park here.
Well mommy′s little dancer′s
quite a little secret
workin on the streets now
never gonna keep it.
It′s quite an imposition
And now she′s only wishin′
That she would have listened
To the words they said.
Poor Taylor.

Well she just wonders around
unaffected by
the winter winds, yeah
and she′ll pretend that
well she′s somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2,000 miles from here.

Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window
And Sunny′s silhouette won′t let him in
and poor old Pete′s got nothin ′cause he′s been fallin′
but somehow Sunny knows just where he′s been
He thinks that singin′ on a Sunday′s gunna save his soul
but now that Saturday′s gone
Well sometimes he thinks that he′s on his way
but I can see, that his break lights are on

And he just wonders around
unaffected by
the winter winds, yeah
and he′ll pretend that
well he′s somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2,000 miles from here.

She′s such a tough enchilada
filled up with nada
givin′ what she got to give to get a dollar bill
she used to be a limber chick
time′s a been tickin′
now she′s finger lickin to the man
with the money in his pockets
flyin in his rocket
only stoppin by on his way to a better world
if Taylor finds a better world
then Taylor′s gunna run away

Jack Johnson - Hope

Shadow walks faster than you
You don′t really know what to do
Do you think that you′re not alone?
You really think that you are immune to
Its gonna get that the best of you
Its gonna lift you up and let you down
It will defeat you then teach you to get back up
After it takes all that
You learn to love

Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus
But in confusion
The frames are suddenly burnt
And in the end of a roll of illusion
A ghost waiting its turn
Now I can see right through
It′s a warning that nobody heard

It will teach you to love what you′re afraid of
After it takes away all that
You learn to love
But you don′t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better be hoping you′re not soГЇВїВЅ
Du du rut
Hope you′re not alone
Hmm hmm humm

Your ГЇВїВЅ
Your echo comes back out of tune
Now you can quite get used to it
Reverb is just a room
The problem is that there′s no truth to it
It′s fading way too soon
The shadow is on the move
And maybe you should be moving too
Before it takes away all that you learned to love
It will defeat you and then teach you to get back up
Cause you don′t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better be hoping you′re alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not alone
You better hope you′re not soГЇВїВЅ

Well that′s alright
If that′s alright
2000 miles were still
And that′s alright
And that′s alright
If that′s alright
I′ll see you in the morning
If that′s alright
And what would you do if I wrote you a song
Would you give me some lovin
Or would you be mad at me if I had a hard time
Gettin a hold of you
I try all the time
And I think that
You don′t know anybody that could be
So bad
But if you did
You′d be wonderin′ where I′m at
Well I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin comes
What would you do if i sang you this song
The connection is bad but that′s only the phone
′Cause when my words kiss your ear
I′ll be right there
The message is long
′Cause baby this is your song
I think that
You don′t know anybody that could be
So bad
But if you did
You′d be wonderin
Well I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin
And I think that
You don
So bad
But if you did
You
Well I
And that′s alright
′Cause I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin
And that′s alright

Jack Johnson - My Little Girl

Hey, little girl
You might not know this song
This is not the kind of song
That you can sing along to
But hey, little girl
Maybe some day
At least that′s what all
The good people will say

Hey, little girl
Look what you′ve done
You′ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You′ve stole my heart
And made it your own

Hey, little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
I will sing to you

You don′t ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don′t have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years

How can I look you in the eyes,
And tell you such big lies?
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You′ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You′ve stole my heart
And made it your own

Jack Johnson - Better Together

there′s no combination of words i could put on the back of a postcard
no song that i could sing but i could try for your heart
our dreams they are made out of real things
like a shoebox, a photograph, a sepia tone lovin

love is the answer there is for most of the question of my heart
like why are we here and where do we go and how come it′s so hard
it′s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
i′ll tell you one thing it′s always better when we′re together

mmh it′s always better when we together
yeah we′ll look at the stars when we′re together
well it′s always better when we′re together
yeah it′s always better when we together

and all of these moments just might find a way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they′ll be gone when the morning light sings
it brings new things for tomorrow night you see
that they′ll be gone too too many things i have to do
but if all of those dreams might find a way into my day to day scene
i d be under the impression i was somewhere in between
with only two just me and you not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
we sit beneath the mango tree now

yeah it′s always when we′re together
somewhere in between together
yeah it′s always better when we′re together
yeah it′s always better when we′re together

i believe in memories
they look so pretty when i sleep
and i .. and when i wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
but there is not enough time
there is no.. no song i could sing
there is no combination of words i could say
but i will still tell you one thing

we′re better together

Jack Johnson - Cupid

How many times must we go through this?
You′ve always been mine, woman I thought you knew this
How many times must we go through this?
You′ll always be mine, Cupid only misses sometimes

But we could end up broken hearted
If we don′t remember why this all started
And if they try to tell you love fades with time
Tell them there′s no such thing as time
It′s our time

[Ice Cube]
Yeah, yeah
Blaze one for the nation
Brrrrr
Brrrrr

Verse 1: Ice Cube
I got lyrics that wake up spirits
They told me how to make big hits and spend digits
Can you dig it?
You fed, you dead, see red
My lead, yo head, I fed
Like you shit

My nigga Lincoln help me navigate
Thru this hate retaliate, it′s official
I got that bomb, bomb, diddy, diddy, diddy, bomb, bomb
When I hit you
Push the issue
My ghetto dope is amazin
The bitch that′s with you already know that I′m blazin
That′s by the number, we can slumber, on the under
Girl no wonder, you got a ass full of thunder
The frozen Tundra ain′t cold enough
And baby ain′t old enough
For this game I′m rollin up
De-zamn it feels good to be the don
Straight legit, while niggas like Gotti just sit

Chorus: Ice Cube
A yeah yeah

(4X)

Verse 2: Ice Cube
I hold zone like a Corleone
No more fuckin with that homegrown
Hit the shit we on
The rolleo′s and the baggetts
You still fuckin with them faggets
We turn haters into maggets
Oak on the dash, but no coke on the hash
You broke ass niggas learn to mash, like me
Constantly, put the hustle down
With four or five niggas that′s musclebound
Send your head to the taxidermist
Won′t be satisfied, till I get my face on a thermos
You got to earn this, you can′t take it
Can′t fake it, got to live it, or we gots to visit
Who is it, the exquisite, Don Mega
Walkin with my entourage, I think I′m betta, makin chedda
You see me sag in my Jag, with the rag recognize the flag
You betta get back, everybody wanna do it like me
I got it made, been makin rap money since the tenth grade
(Ch-ching)
(since the tenth grade)
(Ch-ching)
(What you need)

Chorus

Verse 3: Mr. Short Khop
I keeps a firm grip on my shit when in transit
Uncandid, it′s the young bandit
Fresh out the trenches, the wood works
City of the ?Tempeon?, where the hoods lurk
In search of the rich blocks, to lick spots, and kick rocks
>From shattered glass, down the pig locks
Want tips by the clock
You niggas scramblin for fouyan
And settle for crumbs and croutans
I′m out for armored bucks and armored trucks, with armed killas
Bitch niggas get swallowed by the armadillos
Ain′t no harmin me, the army full honary niggas you can′t see
So while you pace bitches and saturns livin jenky
I hangs with niggas who got patterns on they hankey
After Ben Frankeys, with the big skullen eyes
You niggas bound and nullified
Sit back and mine stack it multiply

Chorus: Ice Cube and Mr. Short Khop

This right here is payback
From way back
I don′t play that x 4

Recognize a real don when you see one
and don′t try to be one, you fuckin peon
I been like Deion for eons
You ain′t nothing but a biatch

Messed around and let me read up
I come back through and tear the street up
Ice cube, nigga, you better D up
And when I come by, bitch, you better be up

Ass up, face in the pillow
I don′t give a fizzle
Got to do my bizzle
The only nizzle that′ll never ever fizzle
Original, you niggas know

Chorus:
(Right here right now)
You gotta get′em up
Who wants some
You better get′em up
Come get some

You gotta get′em up
Who wants some
You better get′em up

Got to get with ya
Hit you wit these things that I′m holding
Who wanna squab with the frozen
Now who wanna battle with the chosen
You niggas lotion
I′m no emotion
I′m shrapnel from the explosion
Hit you in the face while you posing

High as Jimmy Hendricks
I lined up ten dicks and took out appendix
So go get forensics
Let em know I′m Geronimo
Till it′s my time to go
You better find your ho
Get yer babies and your mama
And move to Guantanamo
Doubt my skills
I′m payin my bills
I′m up in the hills
You niggas are kills
Even though I′m on a fucked up label
You bitches know what I can bring to the table

(Chorus)

This right here it′s payback
From way back
I don′t play that x 4

I like bitches like you
5′2" wearing light blue
The freak get high too
With a fly dude
Not a Erika Badu
That′s looking for an "I do"
Now what can I buy you
Just to try you
Need another bitch to lie to
Need another bitch in my coupe
Oh please can I trouble you
For a double scoop

A nigga need some T&A
Now you can get dick but you can′t get no DNA
I heard you was a big freak
(Can I hang?)
Bitch look down I got some big feet
I like Mike and Ike′s
I like watchin dykes
I like goin to fights
I like earnin my stripes
In the book of life
There′s only two women
Big ol′ good ones
And good ol′ big ones

Valley for the KKK, Rodney!
A place on the map where the order is
though devils can′t leap up a motorist
and get nothin but a slap on the wrist
Gorillas, gorillas report

Ice Cube - We Had To Tear This Muthafucka Up

Intro: (*numerous men speaking*)

(Peace, quiet and good order will be maintained in our city to the best of
our ability. Riots, melees and disturbances of the peace are against the
interests of all our people and therefore cannot be permitted)
(The jury found that they were all not guilty, not guilty....)
(We′ve been told that all along Crenshaw Boulevard that there′s a series of
fires. A lot of looting is going on. A disaster area obviously)
(The jury found that they were all not guilty, not guilty...)
Make it rough
(A lot of activity continues here in this....) Make it rough
(We have sporadic fires throughout the city of Los Angeles)

Verse 1:

Not guilty the filthy devils tried ta kill me
When the news get to the hood then niggas will be
hotter than cayenne pepper, cuss, bust
Kickin up dust is a must
I can′t trust a cracker in a blue uniform
Stick a nigga like a unicorn
Vaugn, wicked, Lawrence Powell, foul
Cut his fuckin throat and I smile
Go to Simi Valley and surely
somebody knows the address of the jury
Pay a little visit, "Who is it?" (Who is Ice Cube?)
"Can I talk to the grand wizard?" then boom
Make him eat the barrel, modern day feral
Now he′s zipped up like leather tuscadero
Pretty soon we′ll catch Sergeant Coon
Shoot him in the face, run up in him witta broom
Stick prick, devils ain′t shit
Introduce his ass to the AK40 dick
Two dazed niggas layin in the cut
To get some respect we had to tear this muthafucka up

Make it rough

Verse 2:

I gotta Mac10 for Officer Wynd
Damn, his devil ass need to be shipped back to Kansas
in a casket, crew cut faggot
Now he ain′t nothin but food for the maggots
Lunch, punch, Hawaiin lyin
Niggas ain′t buyin
ya story bore me
Taerin up shit with fire, shooters, looters
Now I got a lap-top computer
I told you all what happened and you heard it, read it
but all you could call me was anti-Semitic
Regret it-nope, said it-yep
Listen to my big black boots as I step
Niggas had to break you off somethin, give Bush a push
But your National Guard ain′t hard
You had to get Rodney to stop me cos you know what?
We woulda teared this muthafucka up

Huh, make it rough!
Huh Muggs, make it rough!

Verse 3:

It′s on, gone with the wind and I know white men can′t dunk
Now I′m stealin blunts
And it came from Betty Crocker, overweight and blacker
Don′t fuck with the black-owned stores but hit the Foot Lockers
Steal, muthafuck Fire Marshall Bill
Oh what the hell, throw the cocktail
I smelt smoke, got the fuck out, Ice Cube lucked out
My nigga had his truck out, didn′t get stuck out
In front of that store with the Nikes and Adidas
Oh Jesus, I ???? Surplus got the heaters
Meet us so we can get the 9′s and the what-nots
Got the Mossberg with the double eyed buckshot
Ready for Darryl and like Beretta wouldn′t say
Keep your eye on the barrel, a sparrow
Don′t do the crime if you can′t do the time
But I′m rollin so that′s a fucked up slogan
The Hogan′s Heroes spotted the gorilla by the Sizzler
Hittin up police killer
The super duper nigga that′ll buck
We had to tear this muthafucka up so what the fuck!?!

Huh, make it rough!
Yo Muggs, make it rough
Huh, make it rough
Enough

Outro: (*newsreader*)

(Not Guilty verdicts for Stacey Coon, Lawrence Powell, Timothy Wynd and
Theodore Vaugsinio, the four officers accused of beating motorist Rodney
King)

Ice Cube - Steady Mobbin′

(c’mon g)
[jd] police, eat a dick straight up
Look here you little God damn nigger, your not gafflin nobody
You fuckin understand me
(kick his ass)
That’s right, get down on the God damn ground now
Fuckin move now
(let me take a shot at him)
We’re gonna do you like king
[jd] what God damn king
Rodney king, martin luther king
And all the other God damn king’s from africa
[jd] look out motherfucker
*gun shots*

[ice cube]
God damn, the bigger the cap the bigger the peelin
And when dealin with the lench mob you gots to know
Steady mobbin is not just the name of this jam, but a way of life
Bound together by motherfuckers that’s known
To break em off somethin, give it to me

Four or five niggaz in a mothership
Better known as a goose and we all wanna smother shit
Bent, front and back glass got tint
Tryin to get our hands on some dollars and cents
And fools can’t hold us
Every chance we get, we hittin up the rollers
Comin up short of the green guys
And I might start slangin bean pies
Or the bootleg t-shirt of the month
With "u can’t touch this" on the front
I’m bout to get rich
Cause life ain’t nuttin but money and fuck a bitch
They drop like dominoes
And if you didn’t know, ice cube got drama hoes
So after the screwin
I bust a nut and get up and put on my white ewings
I’m out the do’
All you might get is a rubber on the floor
Cause I’m ready to hit the road like mario andretti
Bitch, cause I’m steady mobbin

Bustin caps in the mix
Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six
Cause I’m gettin major
Fuck pac tel, move to sky pager
Told all my friends
Don’t drink 8 ball, cause st. ide’s is givin ends
Fools get drunk and wanna compete
Slapboxin in the street
Niggaz get mad, tempers are flarin
Cause they got a few bitches starin
Just for the nappy heads
But scandalous bitches, make for happy feds
I’m making my duty to cuss em
Out, cause I just don’t trust em
And if you tell on me I’m bombin on betty
Bitch shoulda known I was steady mobbin

Since one-time so hot
Got me a stash spot in my hooptie for the glock
And I’m rollin on rims
Eating soul food, and neckbones from m&m’s
Grumblin like a motherfucker
Greasy-ass lips, now I gots to take a shit
Saw sir jinx bailin’
When I hit a lefton ruth ellon, ’whattup loc? ’
Don’t you know that niggaz get smoked
That take they life for a joke, get in nigga
I take you to the pad zoom
Went to mom’s house and dropped a load in the bathroom
Jumped back in my low rider
Comin out feelin about ten pounds lighter
Went to bone’s house so I can get the gat
Looking for the place where all the hoes kick it at
Lench mob ain’t nuttin but tramps
But hoes lickin us like stamps
One fool brought the music for the yams
But ice cube had more amps, get in bitch
Cause I had the jam on
And I don’t want to hear shit about a tampon
Give me the nappy and make me happy
The hoe said ’pappy could you slap me
On the ass hard and fast
And could please try not to leave a gash? ’
I said yeah, but I don’t play sex
When I’m putting on the latex
Slipped on the condom
Fucked around and dropped the bomb son
And it came out sort of like confetti
In for the night, no longer steady mobbin

[Ice Cube]
Limos, demos and bimbos! (Hey slow this motherfucker down man)
Limos, demos and bimbos! (ugh ugh ugh ugh)

Hit the sunroof, and let′s contemplate the freaks we can run through
Got the chauffer pullin over
Snatch one inside, she wanna ride with this mission
Close the partition, he like to listen
All fuckin, no kissin, just smokin and drinkin
Super vets in a super stretch Lincoln
Thinkin bout the good ol′ days of hip hop
in its purest form before the eye of the storm
I could give a fuck about you hatin, on my way
to the Colliseum with seventeen-five waitin
They scream for the limousine, it′s all clean
Tinted, your shit is rented, you know we spend it
While you worry bout the five mics, I′m in the limelight
wit movies comin out, yo′ time is runnin out
I just finished doin "Live At The Apollo"
Indication from my driver damn we′re bein followed

[Ice Cube] I′m livin so trife I need Jesus in my life

[Mr. Short Khop]
Caught him in motion, had me potent, let him know about the showin
and how I′m knowin to keep it cracked open
Cans of ass-beatin, plus on how I crash meetins
and have your whole staff leavin half-breathin
Got shit to hold my own, big bucks
But Khop′s soon to run it through em, nigga check nuts
Put to the test then put two to rest
Wiped out with lights out, two to the chest
Hold it now tell a few, legitimate
We loaded, for revenue, let′s get this shit
and split this shit for three days, count it three ways
Nigga fuck what he say, havin heat pays
It′s all about the thoroughbred, top choice with the voice
that keep ??? moist
Mr. Short Khop expected the truest, dare you niggas step to us
I stay connected til death do us

[Ice Cube] You′re livin so trife you need Jesus in your life

Limos, demos and bimbos! (I′m livin so trife I need JESUS, JESUS)

[Ice Cube]
The alley was pitch black, I′m in the back of this black Lac
These fuckers pull up in a Ac
They don′t understand the impact
Two thousand dollar three-piece suit, can you spend that?
They call me the Don Mega (Don Mega) *motorcycle speeding past*
cos I′m down to play a double-header in stormy weather
Superstar, goddamn them niggas got me
Stop the car and blast the paparazzi *gun shots, motorcycle*

[Mr. Short Khop] You′re livin so trife you need Jesus in your life

Ice Cube - A Gangstas Fairytale

Intro: Little Russ, Ice Cube

[story-teller] Once upon a time, in the black part of the city
[young kid] Yo G, yo G you better get out of here man, 5-0
[door swings shut, car peels out]

[Russ] Yo Ice Cube, man
[Cube] Whassup man?
[Russ] Why you...
[Cube] Whassup?
[Russ] Yo Ice Cube man, why you always kickin the shit about the bitches
and the niggaz? Why don′t you kick some shit about the kids, man? The
fuckin kids?!
[Cube] Word

Verse One: Ice Cube

Little boys and girls, they all love me
Come sit on the lap of I-C-E
And let me tell ya a story or two
About a punk-ass nigga I knew
Named Jack, he wasn′t that nimble, wasn′t that quick
Jumped over the candlestick and burnt his dick
Ran up the street cause he was piping hot
Met a bitch named Jill on the bus stop
Dropped a line or two, and he had the hoe
At that type of shit he′s a pro
So Jack and Jill ran up the hill to catch a lil nap
Dumb bitch, gave him the claps
Then he had to go see Dr. Bombay
Got a shot in the ass, and he was on his way
To make some money, why not?
Down on Sesame Street, the dope spot
There he saw the lady who lived in a shoe
Sold dope out the front, but in back, marijuana grew
For the man that was really important
Who lived down the street in a Air Jordan
Ride to the fellow Mister Rogers and hoes
Drove a 500 sittin on Lorenzoes
He broke out, Little Bo Peep, smoked out
Saw, her and her friends sellin sheepskins

[Little Bo Peep] Yo yo I got them sheepskins
Yo, my empty sheepskins
Yo baby, what′s up with that?

Hickory dickory dock, it was twelve o′clock
Cinderella ain′t home must be givin up the cock
I don′t doubt it, she is kind o

Ice Cube - Once Upon a Time in the Projects (Part I )

Once upon a time in the projects, yo
I damn near had to wreck a ho
I knocked on the door - "who is it? "
It’s ice cube, come to pay a little visit to ya
And what’s up with the niggers in the parking lot
She said fuck em, cause they get sparked alot
I sat on the couch but it wasn’t stable
And then I put my nikes on the coffee table
Her brother walked in he’s into gangbangin
Cause he walked up and said "what set you claimin"
I don’t bang I write the good rhymes
The whole scenery reminded me of good times
I hate to feel bad but I’m in a rut
By a young nigga that needs to pull his pants up
Her mother came in with a joint in her mouth
And fired up the sess it was sess no doubt
She said please excuse my house and all that
I said yeah cause I was buzzed from the contact
Lookin at a fucked up black and white
Her mom’s bitchin cause the county check wasn’t right
She had another brother that was three years old
And had a bad case of the runny nose
He asked me who I was then I had to pause
It smelled like he took a shit in his little drawers
I saw her sister that needs get her ass kicked
Only thirteen and already pregnant
I grabbed the forty out the bag and took a swig
Cause I was getting overwhelmed by bebe kids
They were runnin and playin and cursin and yellin
And tellin and look at this young punk bailin
I heard a knock on the door without the password
And her mom’s got the 12 guage mossberg
The nigga said "yo, what’s for sale"
And the bitch came out with a bag of ya-yo
She made the drop and got the 20 dollars
From a smoked out fool with ring around the collar
The girl I was waiting for came out
I said bitch I didn’t know this was a crack house
I got my coat and suddenly ...
(police breaking into house annoucing themselves)
The cop busted in and had a mac-10 pointed to my dome
And I said to myself once again it’s on
He threw me on the carpet no slap jumped back
Stomped on my head and put his knee in my back
First he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me up
They couldn’t do it so they cuffed me up
I said fuck how much abuse can a nigga take
Hey yo officer you’re making a big mistake
Since I had on a shirt that said I was dope
He thought I was selling base and couldn’t hear my case
He said get out my face I musta had a grudge
His reply tell that bullshit to the judge
The girl I was with wasn’t sayin nothin
I said aiyyo bitch you better tell em somethin
She started draggin and all of a sudden
We all got tossed in the patty wagon
Now I beat the rap but that ain’t the point
I had a warrant so I spent 2 weeks in the joint
Now the story you heard has one little object
Don’t fuck with a bitch from the projects!

Ice Cube - Horny Little Devil

Intro:

You are the prince of darkness
Arch enemy, father of evil
Hell born, demonic, savage, fierce, viscious, wild
Tameless, barbaric, uncontrollabe, obstinate beast

Verse one:

Horny little devil, you gotta back up
Horny little devil, you can’t bust a nut
Lookin at my girlfriend’s black skin
You wanna jump in, but she don’t like white men
So don’t throw that work you fuckin jerk
Or get your punk devil ass hurt motherfucker
She ain’t with the pale face
Cause y’all fuck at a snail’s pace
And you might get sprayed with mace
By the ebony
So when she’s doing her job you better let her be
Don’t try to pinch the gluterus
Thinkin that you about to knock out the uterus
Cause she’ll tell you to kiss her ass quick
And where I’m from, devils get their ass kicked
Mr. sexual harrasment
Asking for a blow while the answer is "fuck no"
Looks like you wanna terminate
But that’s when I go psycho like norman bates
I wanna kill the devil for talkin shit
Cause he can’t get a taste of the chocolate
African breast; cause white bitches got no butt and no chest
Black women have bodies like goddesses
Sorta like venus, but put away your penis
Cause the devil is a savage motherfucker
That’s why I’m lighter than the average brother
Cause you raped our women and we felt it
But it’ll never happen again if I can help it (me neither)
Cause nobody in my neighborhood has caught jungle fever yet
So horny little devil, you better listen
Before your ass comes up missin
And it’s like that

Verse two:

Now you wanna get me
Horny little must be a f-a-g
Tryin to fuck me out my land and my manhood
Got broke eating spam and canned goods
Locking down on my neighborhoods
Treat me less than a man cause right now you got the upper hand
But my ass is a virgin
You mignt have fucked the indians
But you can’t surgeon me
And when I’m on top I wont be fuckin ya
I’d rather put a buck in ya
Cause I hate the devil with a passion
And when I see the whites of his eyes I start blastin
Dig a hole and throw his ass in
And I won’t be happy til I’m down to my last ten
Get his fuckin pitchfork
Tie him up, and then feed the bitch pork
Little devil wanna fuck me out my pay
But horny little devil true niggaz aren’t gay
And you can’t play with my yo-yo
And definitely can’t play with me you fuckin homo
Cause we’ll blow your head off
And turn that white sheet into a red cloth
Plus when they’re all dead
I can quit that jheri juice and get a bald head
Then let it nap up
Go down to the corner store and beat the jap up
Clean all the crap up
Out my city
Now the whole block look shitty
Put his dick on a wood block
Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop
Now who’s the next to nut
Color me badd, but you can’t sex me up
So don’t even try to put a dick in a die
Because this is what why in 1991 i’ma get my gun
Put an end to the devil, so get a fucking shovel

(repeat chorus)

Ice Cube - Once Upon a Time in the Projects (Part II )

Once upon a time in the projects yo
I damn near had to wreck a hoe
Yellin through the screen do′ (HEY, let me in!)
(Big Daddy got a fifth of gin, and down to sin)
Baby up in two-ten, is on a nigga
Bendin over pickin up her mail, she can tell I′m dyin to get her
I′m sittin in yo′ livin room, slash kitchen
A nigga ain′t tryin to be the fuckin groom so stop bitchin
*knock knock knock* I like the way that ass is switchin, answer the do′
Some nigga in a eighty-kay, yo′ baby daddy
lookin like he mad at me (what) wit′cho name on his neck
Here we go with mo′ drama in the projects

Wait a minute, who is this motherfucker?

You better take his ass in the back, and start talkin
Nick that bud ′fore it bloom, and start stalkin
I can hear you guys yellin *glass breaks* a little strugglin
Youse a FOOL if you think that I′m jumpin in
That nigga jet, smokin on a ciggarette
You say domestic shit, get you soakin wet?
Well come widdit and get it, blow my socks
while I′m drinkin all the Kool-Aid, watchin Jamie Foxx
I′m hearin mo′ knocks *knock knock knock*
(Oh, that′s just my people
They came all the way to the projects to meet you) Who?
This fool wearin black, his girl, in the see through
Distraction, a little action, *fight ensues* I woke up
Tied up like (What happened? Punk you shoulda stuck to rappin
Niggaz tell me you got a house full of platinum..
Where the platinum at motherfucker?
I hear that shit worth more than gold!)

Wait a minute motherfucker, this my house!

Once upon a time in the projects (3X)
Once upon a time, once upon a time

I′m like baffled, they got me gaffled, with the duct tape
So I remain raw, in come this chainsaw *knock knock knock*
Another knock, it′s the girl from two-ten
here to drop salt, that′s when them bitches fought
I thought, "I bet-ta plan my escape"
In the midst of this commotion, Ice Cube is breakin tape
I′m free, bombin on the first thing I see
And guess who walk in, with a nine, and a grin
It′s the baby daddy he ain′t playin, *gunshots*
He started layin everybody down, about face with a frown
I′m runnin to the bedroom, I lock the do′
and grab the phone, the bitch phone ain′t turned on
I think I′m gone, that′s when I hear a soft knock
It′s the girl from two-ten, with her number, and a glock
Said, "Call me up, if it′s for sex, or chin check
Nigga get you a real ass bitch from the projects!"

And I just might do that

Once upon a time in the projects (3X)
Once upon a time, once upon a time
