Tight Rope (Australian Bonus Track) Lyrics
Verse 1 There's so much I want to share For so long I've been too scared To show the way I feel for you But I know what I have to do So I'm just gonna say it, (say it) Love is like a game And I'm gonna play it, (play it) I hope you feel the same Chorus I'm in, so deep Can't think and I can't sleep I'm high upon a tight rope and it always leads to you These days

[intro sample vocals from "American Pimp"]
So much shit goes on it makes me doubt about a God -- you know, makes me ask
well if there is a God then why am I in the situation that I'm in?
Or why is my family going through certain situations
when I don't think that they deserve it nah mean?
Or why do good people suffer so much and bad people prosper so much?
[sample fades out as instrumental comes in]
[lighter sparking]
Yo
Goin out...we light this J up right here...for all the hard working folk
cross this country, cross the world
For everybody on the grind everyday 9 to 5, 8 to 12 -- you know how we do it
Hand to hand, whateva...
Yo, yo..
[Chorus - singing]
I been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to show
I ain't tellin' you nothing you don't already know
Over the Waterfall Lyrics
I slipped through your fingers into the clouds Ran down the concrete hallways Pushed through the crowds. I watched by the water Reached for the sun Why did I bother What's done is done Chorus And all that's left of me now Is waiting to drown Over the waterfall (falling down) Over the waterfall (falling down) Over the waterfall (falling down) I fall down So

I been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to show
Like this world just don't want us to groooow
I been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to show
I ain't tellin' you nothing you don't already know
I been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to show
Wanna run up in tha white house and kick in tha do' ohhhhh
[Verse 1]
What a nigga gonna eat when the refrigerator empty?
Work all week let the bossman pimp me?
Can't pay no rent till the 15th
Landlord call the police to evict me
Lookin for a job in the want ads
Have you ever been to jail? Know they gone ask
Ever took a piss test that you didn't pass?
In between jobs in the past? How you get cash?
I done worked over hot ass stoves
I done picked up trash off roads
Winter time in the streets and the cold
Many tim
LEMON TREE Lyrics
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me, "Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree." "Don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me, "I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree." Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. Lemon tree very pretty and th

What you know bout bein' po' seein' most of yo kinfolk be on dope?
Ain't nobody in the hood got no hope in this fucked up system and that's why we don't vote
Still payin niggaz 4.25 - How the fuck we supposed to survive?
I'm close to the edge, government takin most of my bread
taxes might as well have a toast to my head
Make a nigga wanna wild out
runup in the white house with the gauge out, CLICK CLACK!
GIMME MY SHIT BACK BEEYOTCH!
[Chorus]
Puttin' on my uniform, just a number on a W-4 form..
[Verse 2]
See where I'm from it's a few ways out
either rappin or sports either dope or the casket
You can work to the bone but I say ya please don't put all yo eggs in one basket
We don't never get a piece of the pie
Work 50 years, retire then die
Now there's no storyline Just a real good time And I don't want to seem to be mistaken But there's a tale to tell On this road to hell It's in between the lines the case I'm making Oh, lord, look my way Save me from these crazy things I see I don't know what's going on round here these days But I can't dance to that Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this 'Cos I ca
but you don't wanna hear me tho' so

Nigga gotta get up out the plantation
Same job that my pop had before me
Imma pass it down to my seed fucked up situation
Make a nigga wanna wild out
runup in the white house with the gauge out, CLICK CLACK!
GIMME MY SHIT BACK BEEYOTCH!
[Chorus]
My J-O-Beeee

My J-O-Beeee

they owe meeee
and got me fillin' out this application
