"Tar And Cement Lyrics"
Put Your Hands Together Lyrics
piano playing for 1:02 before the beginning of the main song* [Eric B] "Clap your hands" cut and scratched 6X [Rakim] Put your hands together... clap your hands
Tar and Cement
Verdelle Smith
The town I came from was quiet and small
we played in the meadows where the grass grew so tall
in summer the lilacs would grow everywhere
the laughter of children would float in the air
As I grew older I had to roam
far from my family, far from my home
into the city, where lives can be spent
lost in the shadows of tar and cement.
Chorus:
And every night I'd sit alone and learn
what loneliness meant
up in my rented room above the world
of tar and cement.
Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky
think of the meadows where I used to lie
then I'd remember all of that's gone
you're in the city, you better push on
get what you came for, before it's
get what you came for, the meadows can wait.
Repeat Chorus
Many years later, tired at last
I headed for home to look for my past
I looked for the meadows, there wasn't a trace
six lanes of highway had taken their place
where were the lilacs and all that they meant
nothing but acres of tar and cement.
Yet I can see it there so clearly nowLa La La Lyrics
Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher I wake up every morning, and there before my eyes. I find my little darling, sighing good looking sighs. I kiss

In Your Dreams Lyrics
I take one look in your eyes I cant believe how perfect you are I fall in love every time You take a breath as you lay in my arms Ill always keep you from harm I

get what you came for, the meadows can wait.

Yet I can see it there so clearly now
Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher I wake up every morning, and there before my eyes. I find my little darling, sighing good looking sighs. I kiss
Yes I can see it there so clearly now
where has it gone?
Where are the meadows? (tar and cement)
where are the lilacs? (tar and cement)
and where is the tall grass? (tar and cement)
the laughter of children? (tar and cement)
nothing but acres (tar and cement)
acres and acres.....(fade to end)
