Forever Lyrics
There was a time when I lived my life Thinking only of the things that would bring me down And all the while what I didn't know Is that I never learned to take the time to look around There's a little good in everyone And sometimes it takes a little work to see the sun If you t

Twenty Flight Rock Lyrics
Oh I get a girl with a record machine When it comes to rockin she's the queen We go to dance on saturday night I'm all alone and I hold her tight But she live on the twentieth floor in town The elevator's broken down S
st all my money while crossing of the sea.
Go fetch your daughter Mary, and bring her here to me.
We'll drown our melancholy, and married we will be."

"Oh Mary is not home, Jack, nor has she been today,
And if she were at home, Jack, she would not let you stay.
For Mary's very rich now, and you are very poor,
And if she were at home, Jack, she'd show you the door."

Jackson bein' weary, hung down his head,

We Know Lyrics
My name is Kweli, and I like to spit it homie I rap about love and life, ladies get to know me If you feeling lonley, I can be your one and only I put it out in the world, so people show me love Yea, I always get it back This ain't no pimp

Without any exception she loves you the best."

At the sound of the money Mary came with a smiling face.
First a sweet kiss, and then a fond embrace

Dragon Tears (Part II) Lyrics
Now as we're flying across the sky Despair's dying as noone lies, winds let us go Storm, through we're chasing with mighty wings Deep salvation I feel within I never did know That all gold of the earth lies on a dragon's back A power that I can't deny So watch us a
dear Jackson. Welcome home, my dear.
The big bed is empty, and we shall lie there."

"Before I'd lie within your bed, I'd lie within the street,
For when I had no money, my lodging I must seek,
But now I've plenty money, I'll make the taverns whirl.
A bottle of good brandy, and on each arm a girl."
