You did what you were told
And you took the strain
Been left out in the cold
Got yourself to blame
But believe me,
If it happens again I`m leaving
If it stays the same I`m gone
When you`re stabbed in the back
And there`s salt in the wound
The it`s time to move along

(Chorus)

No more spanners in the works,
All the works been done
Had your face rubbed in the dirt
On show for every one
But believe me
If it happens again I`m leaving
If it stays the same I`m gone
When compromise is the song you sing
It`s been going on to long

(Chorus)

No-one is gonna take from me
Frame me or my family
’cause if they do it’s plain to see
that they’ll get waste

What ya want? I’ve got mine!
What ya want? I’ve got mine!

So if you want the same as me
a feeling of security
Then I’ve got something you should see
You can get one

What ya want? I’ve got mine!
What ya want? I’ve got mine!

What ya want? I’ve got mine!

(repeat ’till end)

It’s not the first won’t be the last time
I’ve been caught red-handed
To tell the truth I cannot lie
One big misunderstanding
I haven’t got an alibi
And I can’t stop them talking
Cross my heart and hope to die
One big misunderstanding

So I blew it again just like I always do
For the things that I did I’m saying sorry to you
But I did what I did and I paid my dues
I’ve been missing you

It’s not the first won’t be the last time
I’ve been caught red-handed
To tell the truth I cannot lie
One big misunderstanding
I haven’t got an alibi
And I can’t stop them talking
I cross my heart and hope to die
One big misunderstanding

So I blew it again just like I always do
For the things that I did I’m saying sorry to you
But I did what I did and I paid my dues
I’ve been missing you

Statistics prove its not too bright
To walk the darker streets at night
Or to talk to people you don`t know
My worlds become a horror show

There`s a murder in my living room
My child is watching avidly
Should I venture out to-night
Tomorrow he`ll be watching me

You pay your money take your choice
But every channel plays the same
The audience hears his master`s voice
Keeps him scared and keeps him tame

(Chorus)

I`m not believing all I see
Fabrications on T.V.
Distort the news, feed us your views
I`m not fooled so easily

Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength`s in our bite
And not in our bark
It`s time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.

(Chorus)

I won`t close my eyes
When I know that I`m right
When I`m drowning in tears
I won`t turn off my light.

We`re shown no respect
But that can`t break our pride,
When our backs to the wall
We won`t run and we won`t hide
It`s time to stand, face the oncoming crowd
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.

(Chorus)

I wont`t close my eyes
When the future don`t look bright
Though the road seems too long
I won`t turn off my light
In a world full of darkness,
I won`t turn off my light

Broken windows and empty hall ways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it`s going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think its going to rain today.

Right before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it`s going to rain today.

Verse One

Let’s leave it at that
I don’t want to fight
Don’t say anything that you may regret
In fact, it’s the last thing I need tonight
Your words in my head are hard to forget

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two

Let’s leave it for now
Let’s call it a day
We don’t have to talk about this anymore
That look on you face gave it all away
We’ve travelled these roads many times before

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three

Let’s leave it alone
Before it’s too late
Give it a rest for a moment or two
We can pick it back up at a later date
If you feel that’s what you have to do

Repeat Chorus Four Times

Verse One

Everyday you show me something new about you
Honestly I could never live without you
Look at me here’s a soul who’ll never doubt you
And I will be forever by your side

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two

Probably the greatest feeling I have ever known
Actually is when you wrap yourself around me
Promise me you’ll stay now that I’ve found you
And I will be forever by your side

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three

And you could say you’ve heard it all before
And I know that anyday you may walk out the door
When I say no one will love you more believe me
And I will be forever by your side

Repeat Chorus

I want the girls to hear me rap
Cause this mc has got the nack
I`m your body-popping shell shocking
Girls hocking eye popping lick me all over like a lollipop
I`m your juicy fruit
Alright, alright, alright

I said hey white man, indian or black
I`m your number 1 mc and that`s a fact
I`m a goodloocking, girl hooking outstanding
Mile chatting lyrical shock attack
All mcs freeze there on the spot
One false move and you must get drop
I`m always devastating, fascinating
Videmaking, pinstaking, watch it man I`m hot

(Chorus)

Its a struggle in life when your skin is black
The system is designed to hold you back
how s`ya do shle hands on the shoulder a pat
One love to my face then a stab in the back
Seven points in snooker when you put down the black
But I still thank God for the little I got

(Chorus)

I don`t stop rapping to the musical beat
And I`m in the mood to turn you on
In the groove thats so complete
Wind you hips, shake your body
Or clap you hands even stamp your feet
Just like a bed thats just been spread
You know I`m neat, neat, neat
Just like a tap that`s running hot
Man can`t you feel the heat
Not just now but every minute every hour
Everyday and every week

I don`t give a hoot for loot and shoot
Or prostitutes in skin tight suits
Standing on the corner
They call their beat
I`m not a pimp drug pusher
Gambler or even theif
To the teachers I will preach
And to the teachers I will teach
Cause I`m a hip hop lyrical robot
That is why so unique
Well police and theives are playing
The game of hide and seek
When an imformer gives imformation
Then its called a leak
I jail your a number ruled by govenor
Screws keep you under, wanna see you blunder
When they say “Sit” just take a seat
And when they say “food” it`s time to eat
If a screw says “Nigger” I don`t answer
Yes sir, no sir three bags full sir
Sometimes inmates would even call me a growler
Me a growler, I`m no growler

(Chorus)

Well I`m a hip hop lyrical robot
I don`t stop rapping to the musical beat

Well I`m a hip hop lyrical robot and a red cool cat
