(feat. Lil' Wayne)

I see your dirty face
high behind your coller
what is done in vain
truth is hard to swallow
so you pray to god
to justify the way you
live a lie
live a lie
live a lie
and you take your time
and you do your crime
well you made your bed
im in mine

chorus:
Kevin R.

what this is, forgot
i must now remind you
let it rock
let it rock
let it rock

now the son's disgraced
he, who knew his father
when he cursed his name
turned and chased the doller
but it broke his heart
so he stuck his middle finger to the world
to the world
to the world

and you take your time
and you stand in line
well you'll get what's yours
i got mine

chorus:
becuase when i arive
I, I bring the fire make you come alive

I wish I could be
As cool as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No not this time

miles runnin

She walks in the room
In her mind she's far away
I can see her emptiness
But I just don't feel her pain

The love is gone
The only thing she was living for
Mister I'll never leave you
Walked right out the door, Oh.

It's killing me inside
The way I've seen her change
She writes her life story
But she can't turn the page
I hold her had, try to take her
But she pulls away
Shades go down, lights go out
There's nothing left to say

[Chorus:]
So I'm singing
I want it all but I take just a little
I feel her touch then I need some more
We get high just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside reminds me there must be a better way, Oh.

So I leave the room
'Bout halfway down the hall
I turn around, she screams out
What, you don't believe in love.
Said I'll never be who I was when I was seventeen
Cause every time I walk away
I leave a piece of me.

[Chorus]

Now I understand
What they were trying to say
Life goes by too fast
And people change
But she just wants to be
Who she always was
But you can't change a single thing
You might as well look up and sing

I, I just take a little
I then I need some more
We get high to relieve the pain
But there is a voice inside me saying you'd better walk away

And I take just a little
I, oh to relieve the pain we get high
Some things never change
But a voice inside reminds me there must be,
Be better way.

(Ohhhh, crazy)
She'd bring me flowers on a Sunday with a bottle of wine, Ohh
But I got my fingers in the cookie jar, I ain't got the time, No~oo
And you say that actions speak louder, so why you talking so much?
Well you want me to be more specific, is it that you love me so much?

[Chorus:]
And I can't speak, not that I ever wanted to
I just dream cause, well, living is hard
Don't pitty me, just keep moving along
I will be living it up, living it up, living it up
Yeah (Yeah)
Whoa (Oh)
Yeah

I remember when we met she said she knew she'd be mine (What?), Whoa
But now, she looking crazy in the face, she'd want to skin me alive, (Uh uh) Whoa
And you say that, you can recommend it, you were the queen of the pearl
But you act like you are so offended, but it's in it[? ], I just don't give a f*ck.

[Chorus:]
And I can't speak, not that I ever wanted to
I just dream cause, well, living is hard
Don't pitty me, just keep moving along
I will be living it up, living it up, living it up
(Yeah)Yeah
(Uh)Whoa
(Oh)Yeah

Then I realized I was alone, so I got my fix
But the next time that she calls home, I am gonna call it quits

[Chorus:]
And I can't speak, not that I ever wanted to
I just dream cause, well, living is hard
Don't pitty me, just keep moving along
I will be living it up, living it up, living it up

[Chorus:]
And I can't speak, not that I ever wanted to
I just dream cause, well, living is hard
Don't pitty me, just keep moving along
I will be living it up, living it up, living it up

Living it up, living it up, living it up
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Living it up, living it up, living it up

(feat. Nas)

In the city of dreams, you get caught up in the schemes and fall
Apart in the seam... tonight
That boy he used to bomb, from B.K. to the Bronx and it's the
Fortunate one who dies

[Nas:]
New York, we ready!

[Kevin Rudolf:]
He move from LAS to SoHo
A few blocks for those who don't know
Down the hall
Punched a hole in the wall
Bounced out, all are in control
Certified son of a gun
Learns life lesson 101
Don't fly too high
On your own supply-get burnt by the sun

Cause in the city of dreams
You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the
Seam... tonight
That boy he is the bomb, from B.K. to the Bronx and it's the
Fortunate one who dies

He was NY's talk of the town
Heard out to the LI sound (okay)
He started datin models and he figured it out
He used to be a nice guy, then he cut that shit out
Qualified sex machine
No better than a vow-e? fiend
She wanted a ride to the upper east side but he dropped her ass off
In queens

Cause in the city of dreams
You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the
Seam... tonight
That boy would play his guitar like he was ready for war
(You ready, K?)(It's your man Nas here)
And then he'd lift up his voice to the... sky
(Take it straight through New York City)

[Nas:]
Yo, ok, my city, my town, my crown
Michael Bloomberg, forget what ya heard
I'm thought of highly, shoppin Louie, Gianni
Christian LaCrosse shades, what can a boss say?
City, bus, the subway, cab, the runway
Ski masks and gunplay-my past at a young age
The illest city on the planet
Towers came down, Wall Street barely standin
We Crook Brothers, opposite of Brook Brothers
My footsteps of Scatman Crothers
It's just generations of style to get five luminous minutes with me
Interviews on how I flip sixty-twos
This isn't my style, I spit what I'm livin right now
I'm out on the town, gold bars shuttin it down
Bottles stacked from the floor to the ceiling
Then it's a loud fool, fifty-third street, right near the Hilton
I'm fightin the feeling I had when I was lightin up buildings
Now I'm writin for millions of listeners
Critics who just don't get it
They try dissin us, New York full of kings and queens, all the rest just mimic us

[Kevin Rudolf:]
Cause in the city of dreams
You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the
Seam... tonight
That boy would play his guitar like he was ready for war
And then he'd lift up his voice to the... sky

Fuckers its settled
All the train came trippin thru the station
This mad hatter he was beaming at me
You cool cat
You think that you kno me
Im not the same person that I used to be
Your cards dealt your playing them wrong boy
And theres a few things that you need to kno
I took the elevator up to the top
And I followed that rabbit all down the hole

I told my self I belived it
But who was I kiding
Out of these eyes I could see it
But its all a lie the end is near I can feel it
Ya its comin around but know theres no doubt its settled
And theres no no way out no way out

Switch got me caught up in a twister
Im skipping all down that yellow brick road
I said to the tin man sorry cant help ya
They ripped my heart out long time ago
And now im feeling like the cowardly lion
I wanna break out but im paralized
The yellow bricks led me staright to the wizard
He said its all your state of mind

I told myself I believed it
But who was I kidding
Out of these eyes I could see it
But its all a lie
The end is near I can feel it
Ya its comin around
But now theres no doubt its setteled

And theres no no way out
And theres no no way out
And theres no no way out
And now theres no doubt its settled
And theres no no way out
No way out ya oh oh oh

I told myself I believed it
But who was I kidding
Out of these eyse I could see it
But its all a lie
The end is near I can feel it
Its comin around and now theres no doubt its settled
Theres no no way out

Now theres no way no way out [x3]

She came from a small town,
Hypnotized by the big city life.
She came looking for a peice of action,
All She got was the big city life.
She tried to convince herself,
This was leading somewhere.
Just like on the last day of school,
They were gone by the time she got there.

She's like "Wooooah" I finally found my place.
And I'm like "Wooooah" This Girl can't keep them boys away.
And she say's "Nooo", See I used to have dreams.
But I cashed in something long ago, That I can't redeem.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.

She got the get it look
With the drink in her hand.
And she feels like no one.
She tries to put the past behind her,
But she still owes him.
If I ever get out of this place, Things will be different.
She still hides at the bottom of the bottle,
And cries when she looks in the mirror.

She's like "Wooooh" Am I Looking At Myself
And I'm like "Wooooah" I don't see nobody else
And she say's "Nooo", That's the price I paid
And it'll cost me my life just to get out of the game.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.

[Instumental]

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul. [x2]

Hold it down to yalls all guitars
Half my life I sacrifice
But I only came to party tonight

Now youre coming down to earth

I must have been dreaming
While somebody was scheming
I need some information
We got a situation
Oh
Were you drinking?
What are you smoking?
Now you better listen
Because the thing goes around comes around

I got my hands tied behind my back
My face pressed to the glass
I swear that all these robots
Live on coffee and donuts

Now do I fit your description?
Or is it just fiction
So what's all the action?
Am I the main attraction?

Cause I was just standing
Now you're askin' me questions
What about my freedom
They say you are bad but
You can't have it like that

I got my hands tied behind my back
My face pressed to the glass
I swear that all these robots
Live on coffee and donuts

I'm glad I got your attention
There's probably something I should mention
To spin you round like a whirlpool
It goes around
Round, Round, Round, Round, Round

I got my hands tied behind my back
My face pressed to the
I, I, I got my hands tied behind my back
My face pressed to the glass
I swear that all these robots
Live on coffee and donuts

So get on with it.
There's no escape,
Try if you can.
And, oh, this world is crazy.
And, oh, it blows my mind.
Oh, it seems like everybody's rushing,
Just to get to the back of the line.

Well I walk through the valley of
The shadow of death.
And I dance with the Devil but I got no regrets.
He told me next time your in town drop me a line.

Oh, just gimmie a sign.
Let the world fall apart.
Just gimmie a sign
Don't leave me in the dark.

I couldn't shake that little voice
Ringing in my head.
Wanted to run away from myself.
So I asked for a wise man to make me wise
He said son the answer's contained inside
I choked on the fortune,
But I feel fine

Oh, just gimmie a sign,
Let the world fall apart
Just gimmie a sign,
Don't leave me in the dark.
Just gimmie a sign.

You know they're gonna aim at you.
You know they'll try to take from you
Just gimmie a sign cause I need it this time

Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up, Stand up
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)

I got in some trouble way back in the day.
Spent a few years tryin' to find my way
I broke a few rules, I ain't payin' the fine.

Oh, just gimmie a sign.
Let the world fall apart.
Just gimmie a sign,
Don't leave me in the dark.
Just gimmie a sign.
Oh yea, just gimmie a sign.
Oh yea, just gimmie a sign.
Yea, oh, oh yea, oh
Just gimme a sign.

You know they're gonna aim at you.
You know they'll try to take from you
Just gimmie a sign cause I need it this time

One night when I was asleep,
I had a dream I could fly,
I felt the cold on my skin then I opened my eyes,
So I jumped out of bed went down the fire escape,
Now I'm layed out on the street I wasn't running away,
From something I could control it was inside of me,
I didn't know where to go but I decided to leave,
I still remember that night I've never been the same,
Still wonder if I can fly, was it just a dream?

I wasn't happy for so long so many times I walked away,
Think I was searching for something
Not knowing what I had to face,
Until I found out the reason
That's when I made my great escape
But now it's to late to say, I'm sorry.

Turn around [x15]

One night when I couldn't sleep,
I heard a knock at the door,
She pulled her head on me slow then she opened my heart,
I asked myself is this real I've never felt this way,
She said I need to escape I said I know a place,
So she layed down on my bed I said confide in me,
She looked deep into my eyes and she invited me,
She must have left me asleep she never said goodbye
Her angels took her away I guess now she can fly.

I wasn't happy for so long so many times I walked away,
Think I was searching for something
Not knowing what I had to face,
Until I found out the reason
That's when I made my great escape
But now it's to late to say, I'm sorry.

Turn around [x15]

But I wasn't happy for so long so many times I walked away,
I think I was searching for something
Not knowing what I had to face,
Until I found out the reason
That's when I made my great escape
But now it's to late to say, I'm sorry.

And this is my song
These are my words
This is my story,
This is my song
These are my words.

And this is my song
And this is my story
These are my words.

And this is my song
These are my words
This is my story,
And this is my song
These are my words.

(verse 1)
I was hangin off the side of the road
You sit in silence and you hear every word
You get so lost
You lose track of time
Reaching for a line
And now it's funny cause it's making me see
That I was here before i ever believed
Now I'm stuck up here alone and afraid
Lookin for a sign
(chorus)
So tell me do you dream at night
Are those dreams of mere survival
Reaching for a satellite
And i don't want a world without you
Without you
(verse 2)
But now I'm so numb that I can't even feel
You're just so loose
And that you don't know what's real
You're so thin that you can't even breathe
But it can make you free
And now I found out what I
wanted to know
I heard you sayin to me please don't go
And now I wish that you were here by my side
I'm running out of time
(chorus)
So tell me do you dream at night
Are those dreams of mere survival
Reaching for a satellite
And I don't want a world without you
Without you
Without you
(bridge)
Something about the way it feels
Something about the way it tastes
Something about what I can't have
That draws me closer
(outro)
So tell me do you dream at night
Are those dreams of mere survival
Reaching for a satellite
And I don't want a world without you
(Tell me do you dream at night)
Without you
(Are those dreams of mere survival)
Without you
(Reaching for a satellite)
And I don't want a world without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

I was comin' back from Tennessee,
Longest road I ever seen.
Part of me wanted to stay,
Part of me just had to leave.
Comin' back from Tennessee,
Six feet up from the grave
Who did you expect to see?
Not the person that I became.
It's okay, I can see
You're afraid.
I can leave, you can stay.
Now I gotta be on my way.
All I ever wanted to do
Is follow this dream, till I made it come true
All I ever wanted to be
Is more than a lie
That you still believe
And i'll leave Tennessee.
And i'll leave Tennessee.
Yeah.
Baby did you know i'm alive?
It ain't the ressurection of Christ.
I know I tried to swallow my pain
Last night I never survived
It's okay, I can see
You're afraid.
I can leave, you can stay.
Just get out of my fucking way.
All I ever wanted to do
Is follow this dream, till I made it come true
All I ever wanted to be
Is more than a lie
That you still believe
And i'll leave Tennessee.

[Birdman]
In the back of a bently
Rockin fendi
She love me like I love my money
Tennessee colours
All black hummer
Police know that we been bumpin
Smoke in the air
No fear cash money billionaires
Two mill a pair
What we wear, stop and stare
Tired of 40 got me
Leavin Tennessee.

[Kevin Rudolf]
All I ever wanted to do
Is follow this dream, till I made it come true
All I ever wanted to be
Is more than a lie
That you still believe
And i'll leave Tennessee. [x5]
