list 43 of my favorite song lyrics

Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said “see look that’s yours!
Stacked on top with your brother’s
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers”

And I said I know it well

That secret that you know
But don’t know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl
Cause its running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said ”’aint this just like the present
To be showing up like this”
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said I know it well

That secret that we know
That we don’t know how to tell
I’m in love with your honor
I’m in love with your cheeks
What’s that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I said I know it well
I know it well …

I read the signs
I got all my stars aligned
My amulets, my charms
I set all my false alarms
So I’ll be someone
Who won’t be forgotten
I’ve got a question
And you’ve got the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I’ve been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it’s real

I check my palms
The cracks in the sidewalk
My visions and my dreams
I cross all my fingers
That you’ll be someone
Who won’t be forgotten
What was your question
I’ve got the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I’ve been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it’s real

There are no signs
There are no stars aligned
No amulets no charms
To bring you back to my arms

There’s just this human heart
That’s built with this human flaw
What was your question
Love is the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I’ve been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it’s real

I heard that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me, it isn’t over

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me, it isn’t over yet

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bring me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your ship bare

See how I’ll leave, with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you and I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won’t be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
And you played it to the beat

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
Could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep

(Now I’m gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul in your hand
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
But you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat

I think I know what’s on your mind,
a couple words, a great divide.
Waiting in the wings, a sparring spite,
crawling out the foreground from behind.

Even though you’re the only one I see,
it’s the last catastrophe.
Place your bets on chance and apathy.

Take anything you want, it’s fine.
Keep up the slow life for the night.
Dont take it back, I’ll just deny
this constant noise all the time.

Even though you’re the only one I see,
it’s the last catastrophe.
Place your bets on chance and apathy
to the wind in front of you.

Even though you’re the only one I see,
it’s the last catastrophe.
Place your bets on chance and apathy
to the wind in front of you.

Even though you’re the only one I see . . .

I’ve watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change
In you
It’s like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I’ve watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change
In you
It’s like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So alive
I’ve watched you change
It’s like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
I’ve watched a change
In you
It’s like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I’ve watched you change.
Now you feel Alive
You Feel Alive
I’ve watched you change
It’s like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

Fade out like a photograph
Just a memory to forget
You burn black like a cigarette
I’ll discard you when I’m done
You break down when you need the rest
What a selfish way to drown
Then lay down with the thief you met
And enjoy the pride you’ve won

So let loose those tears darling
‘Cause I’ll turn my back

So tell me the story
How you lose this all I’m guessing
But don’t tell me you’re sorry
I am through with it all and I won’t be back again

I’m burnt out on your etiquette
How you caponize the son
Then lay down with another one
As you canonize yourself

So let loose those tears darling
‘Cause I’ll turn my back
So tell me the story
How you lose all this I’m guessing
But don’t tell me you’re sorry
I am through with out all and I won’t be back again

You’re breaking all the rules and killing all my self esteem that’s left
You take me for a fool
You’re killing all my self esteem that’s left
So tell me the story

How you lose this all I’m guessing
You’re looking so worried
Can you feel it come undone
Such a pitiful story
But I finally learned my lesson
Don’t tell me you’re sorry
I am through with it all
And I won’t be back again

How can I decide whats right?
When you’re clouding up my mind
I can’t win your losing fight
All the time

Nor could I ever own what’s mine
When you’re always taking sides
But you won’t take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it’s hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can’t see

What kind of man that you are
If you’re a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own

(I’m screaming, I love you so)
On my own
(But my thoughts you can’t decode)

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we’ve done?
We?re gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we’ve done?
We?re gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?

I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true

I smoke a blunt to take the pain out
And if I wasn’t high, I’d probably try to blow my brains out
I’m hopeless, they shoulda killed me as a baby
And now they got me trapped in the storm, I’m goin crazy
Forgive me; they wanna see me in my casket
and if I don’t blast I’ll be the victim of them bastards
I’m loosin hope, they got me stressin, can the Lord forgive me
Got the spirit of a thug in me
Another sip of that drink, this Hennesey got me queasy
Don’t wanna earl, young nigga take it easy
Picture your dreams on a triple beam, and it seems
don’t underestimate the power of a fiend
To my homies on the block
slangin rocks with your glocks put this tape in your box
When you’re runnin from the cops—and never look back
If they could be black, then they would switch
Open fire on them busta-ass bitches, and Lord knows…

(Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
Lord knows
[coughing again]
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
The Lord knows
[still coughing]
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
The Lord knows
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)

I wonder if the Lord will forgive me or bury me a G
I couldn’t let my adversaries worry me
and every single day it’s a test, wear a bulletproof vest
and still a nigga stressin over death
If I could choose when a nigga die, figure I’d
take a puff on the blunt, and let my trigga fly
When everyday it’s another death, with every breath,
it’s a constant threat, so watch yo’ step!
You could be next if you want to, who do you run to?
Murderin niggaz, look what it’s come to
My memories bring me misery, and life is hard
in the ghetto, it’s insanity, I can’t breath
Got me thinkin, what do Hell got?
Cause I done suffered so much, I’m feelin shell-shocked
And driveby’s an everyday thang
I done lost too many homies to this motherfuckin game
and Lord knows…

(Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
Lord knows
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
Lord knows!
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
The Lord knows
(He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)

One-time! One-time!
Fuck the five-oh cause they after me
Kill me if they could, I’ll never let em capture me
Done lost too many niggaz to this gangbangin
Homies died in my arms, with his brains hangin, fucked up!
I had to tell him it was alright, and that’s a lie
and he knew it when he shook and died, my God
Even though I know I’m wrong man
Hennesey make a nigga think he strong, man (heh heh)
I can’t sleep, so I stay up, don’t wanna fuck them bitches
Try to calm me down, I ain’t givin up
I’m gettin lost in the weed, man, gettin high
Livin everday, like I’m gon’ die (gon’ die, gon’ die)
I smoke a blunt to take the pain out, and if I wasn’t high
probably try to blow my brains out
Lord knows…

My adversaries cry like hoes fully eradicate my foes
My lyrics explode on contact, gamin you hoes
Who else but Mama’s only son, fuck the phony niggaz I’m the one
Say my name, watch bitches come, now fire
when ready, stay watchin now figure, increase speed
Make you motherfuckers bleed from your mouth quicker
Plus all these niggaz that you run with, be on some dumb shit
Trick on the hoes, I ain’t the one bitch
Holla my name and witness game official, it’s so sick
Have every single bitch that came witchu, on my dick
Plus this alcohol increases the chance to be deceased
I’m movin you stupid bitches, vicious telekenesis
Am I reachin your brain? Nigga how can I explain?
How vicious this Thug motherfucker came
When I die, I wanna be a livin legend, say my name
Affiliated with this motherfuckin game, with no more pain

[Chorus: (interpretation of Method Man’s “Bring the Pain”)]

I came to bring the pain, hardcore to the brain
Let’s go inside my astral plane (no more pain) [variations]

[repeat 4X]

[Verse Two: 2Pac]

Line up my adversaries, blast on sight, and fuck your boyfriend
Bitch, I want some ass tonight, you know my steelo
Alize and Cristal, weed sure you heard of all the
sure you’ve heard of all the freaky shit they say about me, huh
Plus all you busters is jealous, pull your gun out and blast
I dare you niggaz to open fire, I’ll murder that ass
And disappear before the cops come runnin, my glock’s spittin rounds
niggaz fallin down clutchin they stomach
It’s Westside, Death Row, Thug niggaz on the rise
Busters shot me five times, real niggaz don’t die
Can ya hear me? Laced with this game, I know you fear me
Spit the secret to war, so cowards fear me
My only fear of death is reincarnation
Heart of a solider with a brain to teach your whole nation
And feelin no more pain

[Chorus 4X]

[Verse Three: 2Pac]

Bury me that’s what they all say, it’s time to make a killin
Sure to make a million with DeVante
Bitch I know you want me, what your mouth say? Now, watch your eyes
You don’t wanna get with me, that’s a lie
I got my hands on your hips, no time to bullshit
Freaky bitch, come give me kiss
Tell them niggaz from other areas, brothers from here
So obsessed with this money makin it ain’t nothin we fear
Now they label me a troublemaker, cause I’m a ridah
Death to you playa haters, don’t let me find ya
Mama made me rugged, baptised the public
Now you hard thugs, nigga don’t you love it
It’s similar to multiple gunshots, retaliation is a must
Wasn’t too sure what you facin so watch the guns bust
You niggaz’ll bleed, fuckin with me you’ll be deceased
Never restin in peace nigga, with no more pain

[Chorus 8X]
