Brillantin´ Brutal´ Lyrics
We are talking bout inside outside Zeichen der Zeit verschont uns bloß Wo wir sind ist vorne, sind wir hinten, dann ist hinten vorne, schonungslos Und was hier jeder weiß, dazu ist es immer noch zu heiß No plastic money an der Bar, was seh ich oh lala - wunderbar Nehmen sie hoch das Bein, treten sie ein Unser Tanz, er muß der nächste sein Play again, Sam, machs nochmal Wir tanzen wieder Brillantin Brutal Still talking bout software, hardware Going nowhere

These niggaz ain't thugs, the real thugs is the government
Don't matter if you independent, democrat or republican
Niggaz politickin the street, get into beef
Start blastin, now a new cat is executive chief
With a, passion for heat you get, blast in yo' seat
Die before you crash in yo' Jeep, never passin in your sleep
like an old man, you ain't a fool you got a whole plan
to conquer territories like Europeans who stole land
The future of your whole fam' hang in the balance
You the king, and your block is the palace
Y'all niggaz is the parliament, untouchable, spot unrushable
Keep your weight wet, call in collect to save a buck or two
Get mad, who the fuck are you?What you gonna do?
Exactly what I thought - NOTHIN, in the sport of frontin
you the undisputed champion, I'm in a class you can't be in
My words is flesh like Jesus, the aquarian
{*scratched* "Let's stop right here for an amen an
Holding Back The Tears Lyrics
I kind of keep asking myself little questions Like where do I go from here I seem to keep losing track of time and how long it's been Since I last had you near Been a painful road to a door that's closed Been a gamble that I knew I couldn't win Been a lonely conversation to this photograph of you In the mirror there's a sign I must give in So I'm not holding back the tears anymore Tryin' to escape the heartache, tryin' to escape emotion No I'm not holding back the tears anymore Yesterday's my memory reminding me of

Chorus: T. Kweli and Kool G. Rap
[T] It's just a chapter of the night, in the ghetto afterlife
Where you just seen or heard about or gonna have to fight
[K] Where they sacrifice the life and niggaz see flashes of light
When you trapped up in the heights but clappers aimin at the wife
[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, dudes gettin money is still thuggin
Chicks gettin money is still ghetto
Still livin the whole thuggish stilleto
Your team let the metal burst before you take an L
you raised in hell, let the dust settle first
Then you ask the question, snatchin the life of the innocent
Shit happens huh, a man's respected by his actions
It's the karma of the street, you try to meet the karma
while the karma sleep, yo it's deep, but the karma can't be beat
You don't know your enemy, so you fightin with yourself

Lost (i) Dance In Sand And Sea Lyrics
So here we are, or rather, here I am, quite alone, I'm seeing things that were shared before, long ago ... my memory stretches and I am dazed: you know I know how good the time was and how I laughed .. Times have changed, now you're far away, I can't complain: I had all my chances but they slipped right through my hands- like so much sand; I know I'll never dance like I used to I'll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea. hoping that I can catch all of the memories, then I must crawl off upon my way, all of me listening h

You got top shelf connects you gettin seasoned like a veteran
We suck the venom out the snake bite, without the medicine
We benefit from niggaz in tenements, dyin for benjamins
So bad that they know they own coffin measurements
Ghetto eloquence, in the moment of truth, don't be hesistant
or fall victim to the element, word is bond
"So while y'all keep on fakin the funk,
we gonna keep on walkin through the darkness carryin our torches"

A Pale Horse Against Time Lyrics
One smile for love, one smile for hate And one for both in ecstasy One out of, one in our time One smile for pleasure, one for pain And one for both in Satori One above, one against the time Never on nobodys side Take two lines and make a cross A snare for light and time Crucified between two thieves Sun of the evening lands And hushed they spoke of a white horse Upon the horse a rider A Pale Horse against time A dance for creation, one for destruction And one f

Niggaz get caught up in the struggle
End up in court in trouble, sportin a bubble
Ford azure bubble, importer smuggle, forcin a rumble
Hit the blocks with a portion to double
Flip and get tossed in the huddle
Police with one piece short of the puzzle
It's a hustle, peep the street life, they movin muscle
and the G's'll make your knees buckle
Tussle with heat until your feet stand in a pee puddle
Cheese double but all the speedy niggaz bleed puddles
Make the headlines; some try to escape the fed time
Phone taps on direct lines - tec-9's with the red shine
Jake climbin through the bedroom blinds
Tryin to bring you to your deadline, it's slippery when wet signs
Red time, wipe the sweat around your neck time
One shot spill out your red wine, rock shots to deafen your prime
Pieces of hot lead left in your mind
One slug to the left of your spine
Forever late to rest on the shrine
{"So you think that I'm a fool.."
