Black Milk - Losing Out featuring Royce Da 5'9"

Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong

Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right

Don't think about losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's...

Let's talk about who's the most underestimated
Plus underrated city in this hip-hop game
Let's talk about I don't know if these industry mofos overlook us
'Cause they might be afraid
They know if we get the spot like that
You might not get your spotlight back for a couple decades
Let's talk about auburn, a-burn now it's Detroit's turn
Like Berry Gordy came back
Don't think about comparing us to another metropolitan area
Or anywhere on this globe
Let's talk about us breaking barriers spitting sick as malaria
Spitting you not even spitting a cold
Let's talk about how they make the masses attracted to the wack
Like the magnet it a sad mission
Just talking about how I mastered these massive lyrics advanced
Like you in the class with a mathematician
Just think about

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

We beat up beats like this all the time
And you got a few more minutes of abuse
My nigga Royce where you at
Right here my nigga

Let's talk about I got more cases in a motherfuckin' AR clip
Than they got on our mayor
Let's talk about if from the D and you don't fuck with hex
Trick a leave, then you probably a square
Let's talk about the metropolitan area venereal spitter
Still Proof's burial bitter - poof
Talk about me, I'm a be on your ass
Trouble sales I'm a make I to the double L
Don't think about tussling with a head-buster
Who got more muscle than Cool J double L
You get popped like that, take off your whole top like back
Nobody what the hell
Let's talk about making niggas hard earned money always
Putting money on heads like I'm paying their barber
Talking about cotton mouth hangover Range Rover 750
When I hit the streets game over, nigga I ain't never losing out

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

Let's talk about the best or worst started from birth
With the gift and the curse now I'm spitting the verse
Just to talk about whenever I'm spitting the verse feels
Like my words is splitting the earth in two
God I'm talking about fools that rap dude that manages to soul clap
Who when messes the boom-bap-boom
Like --- with the crack moves in the street
Niggas pull heat longer than Shaq's shoes
Don't think about bringing out the niners 'cuz we about clean 'em out
Phone calls could lead to a red shirt wringing out
Gun shots, tech pert, expert leaning out the window
Bringing my inner demon out
Talking about how we got it mastered, the fact that whenever
Me and Black do a track it's a classic
Talking about my life nigga, no sound real or rider
With the four pound thriller like Mike - out

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong

Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right

Tony Toni Tone - If I Had No Loot

Tony Toni Tone - If I Had No Loot

Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay,
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay

If the shoe fits I want you to wear it,
and wear it good,
ah-ah, ah-ah-yeah, ah-ah-hah

Talkin' 'bout them times when I was by myself,
I would always be lookin' for somebody else
But as time went on I had a talk with my mind,
friends like you and you I gotta leave behind

And so, you call me your friend but you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot,
I'll never see them
I'm just glad I know the truth
and I'm payin' my own bills
and I'll never ever depend on you

Friends and enemies around me everyday,
I can't believe half the things they say
Takin' me for granted givin' no credit at all,
I'll just keep bouncin' like a bouncin' ball
Everybody seems to disappear on me,
can't trust no one as far as I can see
If I could be that fly that's on the wall, listenin' to my friends talk about it all

You call me your friend
but you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot,
I'll never see them
I'm just glad I know the truth
and I'm payin' my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you,
some soul you are

I don't mean to step on nobody's foot, but ah -

When I need somebody there's nobody to call
When they need me,
my phone rings off the wall
But these are my friends
and that so what they say
Constantly takin' from me everyday, you say

You call me your friend
but you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot,
I'll never see them
I'm just glad I know the truth
and I'm payin' my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you,
some soul you are

Akron/Family - Love Is Simple

Akron/Family - Love Is Simple

Don't be afraid
It's only love

Love is simple

Don't be afraid
You're already dead

Love is simple

The Pharcyde - She Said

The Pharcyde - She Said

I guess everybody needs somebody to love
You can't keep love lonely
Cause being naive to it
You can just lose it like that
See kisses for bruises don't make it heal back
It be'z the sex appeal that's from the next
And not necessarily the sex and
One might appeal to the intellect
Having a greater affect on how they feelin'
Stimulating breakin down their shields for the real
And as it stands mysteriously, curiosity it kills the cat
And offsets them mentally so they're trapped in
Behind these fantasies with no action
Searchin for a remedy
Now she loves her man but there is just a different type of chemistry
That flairs when her desires on fire
Quick is the fuse anotha loves for hire


And she said...
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish
And she said...
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish

I was high like the vocal tone of my nigga Bootie Brown
Decided to take a ride to see what's really goin' down
Up on the northside of town of course I bought a quarter pound
of bomb hemp
feelin' a-ight like Johnny Kemp on a Friday night
Lookin' right cuz' my shit is tight
Blazin' blunts to city lights on Sunset and Crescent Heights
Bounce to the House of Blues then
I slid in free wit tennis shoes, sweatshirt, jeans and no ID.
Soon as I step inside the plizace
I recognize the fizace
Of an epp wit an izass
More amazin' than grace
So I waste no time to kick my line
I say "How ya doin'" she says "Hey, I'm doin' fine"
So I commence to mackin to baby to see what's crackin
So maybe I get her back at the cabin and start attackin
Threw back a shot of yack and started jabbering, jibbing
Fibbing and ad libbing just to get her to my crib then
We was chilling on the bed bumpin some Isley
Thought I was about to spread the thighs
But she surprised me
When she said "Oh like that? You know I don't get down"
I know my homies gonna clown cause I let her stick around when...

She said...
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish

Now Daddy's home
But she's been waitin all night so we could be all alone
This is an everyday thing so we hang out by the phone
Tryin to build something real working fingertips to the bone
So much loves gone astray that it won't be coming home
No time soon
So I dance with the silhouettes beneath the moon
And she said if satisfactions guaranteed
Nothing else could come between the
Flight of a new love baby
Yeah maybe we could be cool
Instead of sharin' this here ship with the fools
You know (that) ... right now... right now...
right now... right now... baby...
Right now... right now...right now... baby...
And she said
I'll give you the world if you want it
I'll give you the world if you need it baby
If you got to have it
And she said,
You know that she said
And she said
And she said
And she said

The Swans - Goddamn the Sun

The Swans - Goddamn the Sun

When, when we were young
We had no history
So nothing to lose
Meant we could choose
Choose what we wanted then
Without any fear
Or thought of revenge
But then you grew old
And I lost my ambition
So I gained an addiction
To drink and depression
They are mine
My only true friends
And I'll keep them with me
Until the very end
I'd choose not to remember
But I miss your arrogance
And I need your intelligence
And your hate for authority
But now you're gone
I read it today
They found you in Spain
Face down in the street
With a bottle in your hand
And a wild smile on your face
And a knife in your back
You died in a foreign Land
And they found my letter
Rolled up in your pocket
Where I said I'd kill myself
If she left me again
So now she's gone
And you're both in my mind
I've got one thing to say
Before I am drunk again:
God damn the sun
God damn the sun
God damn anyone
That says a kind word
God damn the sun
God damn the sun
God damn the light it shines
And this world it shows
God damn the sun

Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
They always reach a sorry ending
They always get it in the end.
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye
Said the hero in the story
It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words

The Louvin Brothers - Knoxville Girl

The Louvin Brothers - Knoxville Girl

I met a little girl in Knoxville, a town we all know well,
And every Sunday evening, out in her home I'd dwell,
We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town,
I picked a stick up off the ground and knocked that fair girl down.

She fell down on her bended knees for mercy she did cry,
Oh Willy dear don't kill me here, I'm unprepared to die,
She never spoke another word, I only beat her more,
Until the ground around me within her blood did flow.

I took her by her golden curls and I drug her round and around,
Throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town,
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl with the dark and rolling eyes,
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride.

I started back to Knoxville, got there about midnight,
My Mother she was worried and woke up in a fright,
Saying "Dear son, what have you done to bloody your clothes so?"
I told my anxious Mother, I was bleeding at my nose.

I called for me a candle to light myself to bed,
I called for me a hankerchief to bind my aching head,
Rolled and tumbled the whole night throught, as troubles was for me,
Like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see.

They carried me down to Knoxville and put me in a cell,
My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail,
I'm here to waste my life away down in this dirty old jail,
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl, the girl I loved so well.

John Denver - Back Home Again

John Denver - Back Home Again

There’s a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin’ in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There’s a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
The whinin’ of his wheels just makes it colder

He’s an hour away from ridin’ on your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road are barely gone
There’s a fire softly burnin’, supper’s on the stove
But it’s the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Hey it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again

There’s all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time
What’s the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday

Hey it’s good to be back home again - yes it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again

Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that that livin’ with you brings me

It’s the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
It’s the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burnin’ supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that makes me warm

Hey it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again

Hey it’s good to be back home again - you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Hey, it’s good to be back home again
I said hey it’s good to be back home again

The Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)

The Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said, Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say
Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea

Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea

Arab Strap - I Saw You

Arab Strap - I Saw You

It must have been at least three years ago.
I had a crush on this girl I didn't know.
I thought it was a good idea at the time but I was pissed.
I tried to find her by sending an ad into 'the list'.
It was free 'cause they'd just started this brand new section.
First I passed it on to my old friend denise for her inspection.
It said: "i saw you twice and both times you were wearing orange.
And she told you I fancied you in the toilets at the garage."
There was never a reply, perhaps it didn't astound her.
That's assuming she ever saw it but I think I've found her.
I thought it could've been her in a club on saturday night.
She was a couple of tables away and I thought it might be.
But I was far too drunk, so an approach was out of the question.
But this guy stuart had sent us tickets to see his band belle & sebastian.
We went along thoroughly drunk, stopped for a post-gig "hello".
And I think the girl I was looking for
Is friends with the girl who plays the cello.
I think she's coming to see us when we play.
And every time we meet I've got nothing to say.
She probably thinks I'm cute, she maybe thinks I'm gay.
She's probably got a boyfriend anyway.
I remember the first time that I saw her, I was completely in awe.
I thought, well that's the kind of girl that I would like to be my squaw.
And if I could ever be the kind of brave that she would choose.
We'd travel plains with our little baby turned in its little pappoose.
She starts foresighting me in a public bar, my bird was in the bog.
When she returned she said that she would like to give that girl a snog.
And two weeks later we split up and a new lover I was seeking.
And when I see that girl again I'm just never up for speaking.
I think she's coming to see us when we play.
And every time we meet I've got nothing to say.
She probably thinks I'm cute, she maybe thinks I'm gay.
She's probably got a boyfriend anyway.
