Make a list of 100 songs that apply to me

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don’t know why.

Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I’ve been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the tears roll down.
‘Cause it’s the world I know.
It’s the world I know.

This is the song that I’m gonna rap about
It’s called that “I’m Sorry That I Got Fat (I Will Slim Down)”
This is the song that is reminding me that I’m fixing to lose weight and go on a strict diet

The first time when I got fat, I was eating those fatty hamburgers, fries, and all that
That’s why I’m gonna do something about it right now
And this is the song that I just wrote about “I’m Sorry That I Got Fat (I Will Slim Down)”
So here it goes right now

Before I got fat, I was slim
That was this time when I was eating McDonalds
I kept eating McDonald’s for five years from 1987
To 1991
That’s when I became fat; a year later, I’m doing something about it

I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down

I’ve been trying to lose weight
But it’s time-taking
It’s been time-taking, but I’m fixing to stay away from Wendys, Burger King, and McDonalds, plus White Castles
That’s what I’m going to do, and that’s that

I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down

I’m getting tired of eating McDonalds
That’s the same as I’m tired of eating Wendys, Burger King, White Castle, and other places
Let me tell you when and how I’m losing weight

I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down

From now on, I’m staying away from fatty foods
And eating healthy foods
And going on a strict diet

I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I will slim down
I’m sorry that I got fat
I will slim down
Thank you

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourserlf
We’re tired of beatin’ our head against the wall
And workin’ for someone else
We’re people, we’re just like the birds and the bees
We’d rather die on our feet
Than be livin’ on our knees
Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud

Well, I’m a voodoo chile
Lord I’m a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out “lord, the gypsy was right!”
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin’
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its’ the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch’s ring
Hey!
And he said “Fly on, fly on”
Because I’m a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you’ll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
‘Cause I’m a million miles away
And at the same time I’m right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm…

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns as we hold hands

‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile
Yeah!

Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter
At fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and went all natural
February two thousand and two
I went and did
What I had to do
Because it was time to change my life
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlock all gone
I looked in the mirror
For the first time and saw that HEY….

Chorus
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what’s on your head
Its what’s underneath and say HEY….

Chorus

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am expressing my creativity..
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Verse 3
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh
On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY…

Chorus 2x

If I wanna shave it close
Or if I wanna rock locks
That don’t take a bit away
From the soul that I got
Dat da da dat da
If I wanna where it braided
All down my back
I don’t see what’s wrong with that

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin’ on by you know how I feel

(refrain:)
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

i wish i was infinite and given my way
i’d be so fuckin’ cool
when im feeling the rush

i look at you through different eyes
i never knew my thoughts televise
what you think
i’m the twin inside you

chorus :
it’s hard to believe what you say
unaccepting what you’ve tried to show us
and nothing can fix what’s incomplete
can’t get to us
never get to us

refreshing the memories
or times we’ve known
constantly stumbling over reason

where do these words go now so true
covering no one else but you
stepping up to make the day
devour every modern day

chorus

fell awake in my dizziness
i’m blinding
i wish i was obedient
aren’t i something

i’ll never be rational
i’m finding
my way to everyone
in this velvet sky of mine

boredom does nothing for me
so why does it follow
walking with the deadbeats down the street
i want everything
i’ll be you idol,
be your maker
your everything
your dirty dream designer,
be your everything

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I’m exposed
And it’s no big surprise
Don’t you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand

‘Cause I’m just a girl, oh little ol’ me
Well Don’t let me out of your sight
Oh I’m just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don’t let me have any rights
Oh… I’ve had it up to here!

The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can’t do the little things I hold so dear
‘Cause it’s all those little things
That I fear

‘Cause I’m just a girl,
I’d rather not be
‘Cause they won’t let me drive
Late at night
Oh I’m just a girl,
Guess I’m some kind of freak
‘Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh I’m just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh… I’ve had it up to here!

Oh… am I making myself clear?
I’m just a girl
I’m just a girl in the world…
That’s all that you’ll let me be!

Oh I’m just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
Woh I’m just a girl, what’s my destiny?
What I’ve succumbed to
Is making me numb
Oh I’m just a girl, my apologies
What I’ve become is so burdensome
Oh I’m just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there’s no comparison

Oh… I’ve had it up to!
Oh… I’ve had it up to!!
Oh oh oh oh oh … I’ve had it up to here.

You tell me I can’t slow down
you tell where I’ve gotta be
I speed into the darkness
but I swear that I can’t see a thing in front of me
You know its true
I’m not driving anymore,
I can’t keep up with you.

You’re closing in behind me
Well I’ve got headlight in my eyes,
Don’t you get too close to me
Can’t you see that we’ll collide,
and end up casualties
there’s just no room
I’m not driving anymore,
I can’t keep with you

So leave me on my own,
Run me down and race away from me
I’ve got nowhere to go to,
And I don’t think I can get back on my feet,
back on my feet

You came right out of nowhere
Eyes wide and terrified,
and I can’t put my brakes on,
And I can’t swerve to save your life
cause then I’ll lose control,
and I can’t choose
I’m not driving anymore
I can’t keep up with you

So leave me on my own
Run me down and race away from me
I’ve got no where to go to
I don’t think I can get back on my feet,
back on my feet.

Get me out of harm’s way,
Can’t you see I’m paralyzed,
I wanna fade out gracefuly,
but you keep keeping me alive
to face another day,
can’t you see I’m through
I’m not driving anymore,
I can’t keep up with you.
Can’t keep up with you

Tell me how long have I got, God
I wanna end this earthly toil
Till this diet-light expires
I wanna go swimming in the soil
and not come up for breath
sit in God’s room
I’m not driving anymore,
I can’t keep up with you.

I’m unfit for consumption
I don’t know how to play my part,
I swear I’m all alone in this thing,
I’m a blind man driving in my car,
into oblivion
let it come soon.
I’m not driving anymore,
I can’t keep up with you.

You didn’t stop to look ‘round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
Ah, you left me for dead
You didn’t cover my face
I didn’t merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
And I say I won’t stop, no, ‘till hell is your home
There’s nowhere to hide, no, nowhere
You’ll feel the cold of my gun at your head
Ah, you left me for dead
And it’s not like you stayed by my side or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth to check for gold teeth
You were pawning my shoes as I bled
You left me for, left me for, left me for dead
You kept on taking your time
Until it was certain I couldn’t survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
Ah, You left me for dead
And it didn’t trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights
You put me to bed
Ah, you left me for dead
And I say that I won’t rest my head until Hell is your home
You’ll think that you’re safe, but oh no
You’ll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
Ah, you left me for dead
And you didn’t stay close to me, didn’t stay by my side
I was choking in blood as delight filled your eyes
You’re going to burn for each word that was said
‘Cause you left me for, left me for, left me for dead
But I don’t want to search no more
There’s nowhere to hide
So why don’t you come quietly, my love
I wanted to say, to say that you sure proved the death of me
‘cause Now I’ve reached a dead end
And I can’t go back
But if I’m going down then you’ll come with me
You didn’t stop to look ‘round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
Ah, you left me for dead
‘Cause you didn’t cover my face
I didn’t merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
