And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain’t no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there’s nothing you can do
It’s all just bits of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look what comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell

[Ice-T]
Dig it, I’m just a brother from L.A.
South Central, I live life the fly way
Used to bang and hustle but I traded for the big game
Infamy got dumped for fame
Now I’m known and respect as creator of the crime rhyme;
but my lyrics are deeper
Because I’m the one that makes you think before make a move
I wrote „Pusher”, „High Rollers”, and „Colors” just to prove
that I could kick game, and drop knowledge at the same time
But one L.A. station wouldn’t play my records one time
I’m tryin to save my community
but these bourgeoise blacks keep on doggin me
They don’t care about violence, drugs and gangs
KJLH, you ain’t about nuttin
You just a bunch of punk bourgeoise black suckers
and this one’s for me

You won’t play no Public Enemy
You ain’t playin no Boogie Down Productions
You ain’t tryin to represent the black community
You just carin about your little ol’ R&B +BULL+
you play all day and night
I represent Los Angeles all over the United States
and you ain’t did NUTTIN for me
Think about it

Hold up, I ain’t finished on the diss tip
There’s a few more punks that I got to rip
All you chump MC’s who sell out quick
When P.E. was on the top, you rode the tip
But now they got problems and you suckers run
Who’s Chuck’s real friends, does he really have one?
You yell P.E. this, P.E. that
Fist in the air, proud to be black
Now they got static and you run like punks
I haven’t heard an MC stand up for him once
Maybe you suckers are just hopin that they fall off
so you can fill their shoes, nope sorry boss
That’s what the matter with black people anyway
We ain’t down with nothin, I don’t care what you say
yell or lie, don’t even bother
How low will a brother go for a dollar?
Public Enemy broke a new rap age
And now you rappers ain’t got nuttin to say?
„Yo it’s their problem” „Griff shouldn’ta said it”
E where’s my pistol? (Yo I’ll go get it)
Cause it’s time for me to enforce some discipline
Are you down or not, are you out or in?
Chuck Flav and Griff are my true friends
I got their backs if it means my career ends

All you so-called down MC’s with Public Enemy
I ain’t heard nobody out there, tryin to help my man out
YouknowhatI’msayin? Griff is my man, I don’t care WHAT he said
YouknowhatI’msayin? And I ain’t gon’ let them go out like that
YouknowhatI’msayin? Chuck, Ice got your back
Anybody out there got problems with Public Enemy, come talk to me

Once again, I’m back in the diss mode
I gotta speak my mind, it’s time to unload
on this so-called government we’ve got
If I lied like them, I think I’d get shot
They sell drugs to kids and say it’s us
And when the cops are crooks, who can you trust?
You only see young brothers in a drug bust
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
My homey got a year for an ounce of weed
while Bush sells weapons to the enemy
You gotta be stone blind not to see
„Our government is honest!” Nigga, please
Cocaine can’t be made in the United States
Kickin facts like this our government hates
The young kids on the streets ain’t the enemy
They’re just ghetto youth after money
They sell drugs, but who sells drugs to them?
Try the C.I.A. my friend
or the F.B.I. or even Bush
Somebody’s gettin rich, damn sure ain’t us
We’re just killin ourselves while others laugh
Look at the street, it’s a cocaine bloodbath
We gotta realize dope is pure death
Mess with drugs, you’re breathin your last breath
Sellin drugs is straight up genocide
They’re gonna laugh, while we all die

Sittin up there thinkin you’re makin that money
Hustlin and all that, you’re killin your brothers
YouknowhatI’msayin? You just stupid, straight up stupid
Puttin dope into your body – c’mon, youknowhatI’msayin?
You gotta get somethin goin out there
Get some brains, youknowhatI’msayin?
We are just playin ourselves cold out of the pocket

This one’s for me, I make records for you
but this cut I straight out had to do
There’s topics in my mind I have to break
cause so many of you out there are so damn fake
If ya ain’t know they’re no-one, cutthroats
backstabbers, scheamin for banknotes
And all of you out there know what I’m talkin bout
If you claim you’re down then NEVER sell-out
Never sell out, youknowhatI’msayin?
You gotta stay down for yours
You know I want it, sure as I’m Ice-T
I make records for you, but this one’s for me

You know what I’m talkin bout out there
There’s ways to sell out left and right
But you ain’t got to do that
There’s things more important than money
I’m talkin bout pride, I’m talkin bout dignity
You got it out there
All you got to do is stand on your own two feet
Don’t go out like no sucker
Stay down, youknowhatI’msayin?
Peace

so help me if you can i’ve got to get
back to the house at pooh corner by one
you’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
count all the bees in the hive
chase all the clouds from the sky
back to the days of christopher robin and pooh

winnie the pooh doesn’t know what to do
got a honey jar stuck on his nose
now he came to me asking help and advice
and from here no one knows where he goes
so i sent him to ask of the owl if he’s there
how to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

so help me if you can i’ve got to get
back to the house at pooh corner by one
you’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
count all the bees in the hive
chase all the clouds from the sky
back to the days of christopher robin and pooh

so help me if you can i’ve got to get
back to the house at pooh corner by one
you’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
count all the bees in the hive
chase all the clouds from the sky
back to the days of christopher robin
back to the ways of christopher robin
back to the ways of pooh

‘Cause I can’t keep my mind off you
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
Even looking up at the sky of blue
I can’t keep my mind off you

Rolling down a highway all alone
I hear Bob Wills playin’ Rose My Rose of San Antone
And its just me
There’s no other cars
Ridin’ in the dark with a windshield full of stars

Chorus

Now the sky around me turns a little gray
The sun is comin’ up, bringing on a brand new day
And as I wake you with the phone
I say you’re startin’ this day early
But you ain’t spending it alone

i said, i want you baby, isaid, i want some more
i said, i never ever felt it like that moment before
she’s an assassin, she’s melting steel in my heart
and i beg for more
she said, i want your body, she said, i want your soul
she said, a fallen angel takes it and she’ll never let go
she’s an invader, she’s from another world
and i beg for more and more

she’s raising feelings cutting like a knife
she’s pouring fire into my liquid life
there’s no escaping from her mysteries
she gives me kisses of the strangest kind, she says
i know you’ll like it, so come over here, she says
and let that rhythm filter through your body, dear
and then she…
she always did it and she always will
she’ll stay that hunter till the end of time

i said, i want you baby, isaid, i want some more
i said, i never ever felt it like that moment before
she’s an assassin, she’s melting steel in my heart
and i beg for more
she said, i want your body, she said, i want your soul
she said, a fallen angel takes it and she’ll never let go
she’s an invader, she’s from another world
and i beg for more and more..

You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning… Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever, that’s so hard to bear

You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And I know I’m gonna treat you right

You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody gots the fever [Should be "Everybody's got..."]
That is something you all know
Fever isn’t such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said „Julie Baby, You’re my flame”

Thou givest fever, when he kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I’m afire
Fever, yeah I burn for thou

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him
She said, „Daddy, Oh, Don’t you dare!”

You give me fever [Should be "He gives me fever"]
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I’m his Misses
Daddy, won’t you treat him right?

Now you’ve listened to my story
Here’s a point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you Fever, when you kiss them
Fever, if you live, you learn
Fever, ’till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

They give you Fever, when you kiss them
Fever, if you live and learn
Fever, ’til you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn (they give you fever)
What a lovely way to burn (they give you fever)
What a lovely way to burn (they give you fever)
What a lovely way to burn (they give you fever)
What a lovely way to burn (they give you fever)
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

(Who are you? Tell em’ your name*)

My name is Heroin I’m better than your medicine
I’ll take your life and your soul if you let me in
There… You’ll never leave me
You need me in this life
You can’t live without me
I own you
You belong to me
That’s right, don’t ever try to leave me
Because you can’t
You can’t do it
You know who I am

(Who are you? Tell em’ your name*)

My name is Heroin I’m better than your medicine
I’ll take your life and your soul if you let me in
There ain’t a problem in this world that I can’t fix
There ain’t a pain that you have I can’t help you deal with (X 2)

You need me you can’t live without me inside you
Don’t believe in negative press you’ve been lied to
I’m all you need in life you can’t breathe without me
I’m your best friend, your lover and your family
I make you feel like you have supernatural power
I’m all you need and I’m just a brown powder
You’d steal from your own mother just to have me
Walk through the worst neighbourhoods just to grab me
Sitting in a corner putting me in a spoon
Anticipating the feeling you’re gonna have soon
Burning me, turning me into liquid form
It’s a great habit what’s you wanna keep it for
You look at you, you’re trembling putting me in a seringe
You’re pocking your skin you’re trying to get me in
You shove it through your eyelids just to get me through your brain
The faster I can go there and ease your pain
In your vein I just slither like a venoms snake and it’s great
I can’t wait just to end your heartache
I slowly cross the blood brain barrier
Give birth to morpheme finds to open your receptors
You have a sensation; you’re calling in a rush
The intensity because you had all my drugs
And the faster that I find to open your receptors
The more intense the rush is, it feels even better
You might have a warm blushing in your skin
Have a dry mouth or happiness in your limbs
You might be nauseous, vomit, have severe itches
But it’s worth it nothing beats this here feeling

(Chorus X 3)

You got problems in your life I can help you through it
When you tried to dump me before but you couldn’t do it
You had insomnia, muscle and bone pain
Worse than when you tried to leave my cousin named Cocaine
You were vomiting, restless, had cold flashes
It’s just you and me no one knows you’re an addict
You’re psychically depending on me now. Don’t you see that?
You would die without me in your life, believe that
I’ve infected your heart and clogged you veins
I have done sever damage to your veins
Because of me you’d had bacterial infections
A small price to pay that’s the cost of my affection
The high is wearing of you’re drowsy for a couple of hours
My affect have got your mental function all clouded
You heart rate drops you respiratory system slows
You’re slowly fading as a victim of my overdose
You needed me but don’t you see I don’t need you
There’s a lot of people in this world that need me too
I just used you like the stupid bitch you are
I left you dead in your own vomit on the kitchen floor
I didn’t care about you; you’re just a bitch to me
I know you cheated on me with your brother Ecstasy
We got my people to infect, you can’t stop me
There’s rehabs and clinics but people still can’t drop me
I’ve been on a killing spree for decades now
There ain’t nothing in this world that’s gonna slow me down

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Yeah that’s right
You can’t stop me
I’m just gonna keep going
I’ma keep ending more lives, infecting more people
This ain’t never gonna stop
Cause once you’ve had me, you can’t live without me in your life
I will rule your whole world
You live for me
I own you

(Chorus X 2)

Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka

I may not be the sharpest hunk of cheese
I got a negative number on my SATs
I’m not good looking and I don’t know how to dance
But nevertheless and in spite of the evidence I am still widely considered to be
A genius in France, a genius in France, a genius in France

People say I’m a geek, a moronic little freak
An annoying pipsqueak with an unfortunate physique
If I was any dumber, they’d have to water me twice a week

But when the Mademoiselles see me, they all swoon and shriek
They dig my mystique, they say I’m c’est magnifique
When I’m in Par-ee, I’m the chic-est of the chic

They love my body odor and my bad toupee
They love my stripey shirt and my stupid beret
And when I’m sipping on a Perrier
In some cafe town in St. Tropez

It’s hard to keep the fans at bay
They say, „Sign my poodle, s’il vous plait”
„Sign my poodle, s’il vous plait”

Hemenene humenene
himenene homenene
Poodle… poodle…

Folks in my hometown think I’m a fool
Got too much chlorine in my gene pool

A few peas short of a casserole
A few buttons missing on my remote control
A few fries short of a happy meal
I couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel

Instructions on the heel
Instructions on the heel

But when I’m in Provence, I get free croissants
Yeah, I’m the guy every French lady wants
And if you ask ‘em why, you’re bound to get this response
(He’s a genius in France! Genius in France!)

That’s right
(He’s a genius in France, genius in France)
You know it
(He’s a genius in France, genius in France, genius in France)

I’m not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree
But the folks in France, they don’t seem to agree
They say, „Bonjour, Monsieur would you take ze picture with me?”

I say, „Oui, oui”
That’s right, I say, „Oui, oui”
„Oui, oui”
He says, „Oui, oui”

I’m dumber than a box of hair
But those Frenchies don’t seem to care
Don’t know why, mon frere
But they love me there

I’m a genius in France
Yeah, I’m a genius in France

Gonna make a big splash when I show up in Cannes
Gonna make those Frenchies scream
„You ze man! You ze man! You ze man!”

Like a fine Renoir (waa), I’ve got that je me c’est quoi (quoi!)
Like a fine Renoir (ooh la la), I’ve got that je me c’est …
Quoi quoi quoi quoi quoi, oo-we-oo
Quoi quoi quoi quoi quoi, oo-we-oo

Bow diddy bow di bow di bow bow diddy
Bow diddy bow di bow di bow bow diddy
Bow

[snort]

I’m a taco short of a combo plate
But by some twist of fate, all the Frogs think I’m great
Oh, the men all faint and the women scream
They like me more than heavy cream

When I’m in Versailles, I’m a popular guy
My oh my, I’m as French as apple pie (apple pie)
They think I’m awful witty, a riot and a half
When I tell a stupid joke, they laugh(haw haw haw haw haw)
And laugh (haw haw haw haw haw haw)

People in France have lots of attitude
They’re snotty and rude, they like disgusting food
But when they see me, they just come unglued
They think that I am one happening dude

Bowm ba ba bowm ba bowm ba bowm
I’m about as sharp as a bowling ball
But they like me better than Charles de Gaulle

Entre nous, it’s very true
The room temperature’s higher than my IQ
But they love me more than Gerard Depardieu
How did this happen; I don’t have a clue

Well, I’m not the quickest tractor on the farm
I don’t have any skills or grace or charm
And most people look at me like I’m all covered with ants
But I’m a genius in France (yeah), genius in France, genius in France

And I’m never goin’ back, I’m never goin’ back
I’m never never never never goin’ back home again
I’m tearin’ up my return flight ticket
Gonna tell the folks back here where they can stick it

‘Cause I’m never goin’ back
I’m never goin’ back
I’m never goin’ back

The girls back home never gave me a chance
But I sho’ ’nuff got them Frogs in some kinda trance
And I’m aware that it’s a most improbable circumstance
But „Great Googily Moogily”, I’m a genius in France

Every Frenchie that I meet
Just can’t wait to kiss my feet
Get in line, pucker up! Tout Suite!

Bowm diddy bowm diddy bowm diddy

I’m gettin’ even more famous by the hour
I’m stuffed with pastries and drunk with power
Now they’re puttin’ up my statue by the Eiffel Tower

A little more to the left, boys, a little more to the left
A little more to the left, boys, a little more to the left

I’m the biggest dork there is alive
My mom picked out my clothes for me ’till I was 35
And I forgot to mention
I’m not even welcome at the Star Trek convention

But the Frenchies think
That my poop don’t stink
I’m a genius in France

Say, would you pass the Grey Poupon?
Merci beaucoup

Does it seem like I’m looking for an answer
To a question I can’t ask
I don’t know which way the feather falls
Or if I should blow it to the left

All the voices that are spinnin’ around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

Chorus
I… Hey there lady
Your on my mind (on my mind)
I think about you everyday
I think about you all the time (all the time)
Wonderin’ if (wonderin’ if)
Somebody else is lovin’ you (whose lovin’ u)
‘Cause nobody in this world
Makes me feel like you do

Chorus
I can’t stop the rain
Get down with the Immature flavor
I can’t stop the rain
Get down with the Immature flavor
I can’t stop the rain
Get down with the Immature flavor
Take the pain
Just like the rain falls from the sky
Thats how my heart feels inside
Since you’ve been gone

I admit (I admit)
I acted just like a fool (like a fool)
Playin’ on your emotions (emotions…)
Girl, I shoulda been good to you (should of been good to you)
Your love for me
Was ever so true
Ooh…baby (baby)
And thats why
I’m gonna make it up to you

Chorus

Romeo Romeo
Romeo Romeo
Romeo Romeo
Romeo Romeo here I go

Chorus

I’m so stupid
‘Cause I used to live
In a fuzzy dream
And I used to believe
In a pretty pictures
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was… Cause I used to live
In a fuzzy dream
And I wanted to be
Like all the pretty people

I’m so stupid
‘Cause I used to live
In a fuzzy dream
And I used to believe
In a pretty pictures
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was stupid

Chorus:

Please don’t try to tempt me
It was just greed
And it won’t protect me
Don’t want my dreams
Adding up to nothing
I was just looking for
Everybody’s looking for something

I’m so stupid
‘Cause I used to live
In a tiny bubble
And I wanted to be
Like all the pretty people
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was stupid
Stupider than stupid

Stupider than stupid
Stupider than stupid

(chorus)

Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s stupid stupid
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s stupid stupid
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s stupid stupid
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody, everybody

(chorus)

Then I said Miss Jones
You’re a girl who understands
I’m a man who must be free.

And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And… Have you met Miss Jones
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me

Then I said Miss Jones
You’re a girl who understands
I’m a man who must be free.

And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky

Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I

And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky

Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I

Miss Jones and I

Don’t waste your life and give up your dreams.
Open the… Open your eyes, don’t be so blind
Be ready to face our reality
Live free and die, someday you’ll find
What’s hiding in your fantasy.

Don’t waste your life and give up your dreams.
Open the door and tell me what do you see
Inside your heart made of fire and steel.

I SEE AND DREAM VISIONS OF HOME
LANDSCAPES ALL COVERED BY ICE AND SNOW.
I’M GUIDED BY AN EAGLE ON MY WAY,
AND A RAINBOW PAINTS UP THE SKY TODAY

Fight, fight for the things you believe in
Never give up, fly your own way.
New life begins and lights coming your way
Open the gate and fly through the day

You’ve gotta live, and follow your dreams
Open the door and tell me what do you see
Inside your heart made of fire and steel

I SEE AND DREAM VISIONS OF HOME
LANDSCAPES ALL COVERED BY ICE AND SNOW.
I’M GUIDED BY AN EAGLE ON MY WAY,
AND A RAINBOW PAINTS UP THE SKY TODAY

[REPEAT: Bridge I & Chorus]

There’s another kind
Listen here… Lonely more the night
Candle lost its light
Lines begin to show

There’s another kind
Listen here it’s time
Lying just below.

Shouldn’t you believe
Everything you see?
‘Least as much as all the things you know
All the things you know
All the pews are gone
Dealer’s wife has left today
Where she went, she wouldn’t say
And Christ is on the lawn

Move your mouth the same
Just repeat the name
As if it’s wrong to you

That’s an odd request
Try to do what’s best
When you’re told it’s true

Wouldn’t you believe
Someone’s bound to see
Mind the shade and leave the rest alone
Leave the rest alone

Just a kid actin’ smart
I went and broke my darlin’s heart… I was ridin’ Number Nine
Headin’ south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid actin’ smart
I went and broke my darlin’s heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I’m a number not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When the ev’ning train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I’ll be locked here in this cell
‘Til my body’s just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than the snow
I’ll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I’m in Georgia, doin’ time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
