Tekst :
Always feeling so uncomfortable, and the situation tends to be predictableHope slips through trained fingers, It s how it s always been
I can t seem to tear myself away, been living in the past with my mistakes
But I always find a way to numb the tension, bury thoughts alone
Under the skin to hide the damage done to my defense
Senses dulled then cracked, I concede that maybe
I m unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me
Yesterday s accomplishments, replaced by tomorrow s burdens
A never ending cycle begins, so diseased and looking for a means to an end
I found nothings solid anymore, all that s left is try and I confess that maybe
I m unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me
Designed and developed inside of my lungs, on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces, just something beautiful that s about to get wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Because we ve made ourselves so numb, but I want to feel something
I won t ever live that way again, somewhere along the line I lost feeling
And I lost control, But then I lost strength and completely lost hope
When our lives are consumed by society s fumes,
We punch our time clocks and watch the ignorance bloom
And how strange that we all feel the same, and how strange that no one dares complain
See I m always turning backwards and forwards again retracing my steps to the bitter cold end
Rewind the tape and let me see exactly where it went wrong, indulge in our pasts strong
And how strange that we all feel the same, and how strange that no one complains
Designed and developed inside of my lungs on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces something beautiful that s about to get wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Because we made ourselves so numb, don t you want to feel something
Tekst :
The hole in her chest is for the little lost lambThat was on his quest; nobody gives a damn
In silvery days of silence they go
Now they ve lost their ways,the little lambs in the
snow
These are not shells of the sea
These are the shells of the sky
They took my baby away from me
And no one has ever told me why
They chewed him and spit him
He never knew what hit him
No little kisses goodbye
Shells, shells, shells
I won t stand to ask for God s mercy
I can t stand anything anymore
They were only making angels
In the snow in the middle of a war
The blood of these lambs speaks of the darkness
And the blood of these lambs speaks of the rage
Yes the blood of these lambs is rolling to the sea
It s writing your history on every single page
Shells, shells, shells
Tear at a table missing a child
Must have gone past, the river is mild
I go to the sea; I follow the tide
I hold seashells to me and I hear the sky
These are not shells of the sea
These are the shells of the sky
They took my baby away from me
And no one has ever told me why
They chewed him and spit him
He never knew what hit him
No little kisses goodbye
Shells, shells, shells
Tekst :
Feat. Mario Winans[Queen Latifah]
Southside, Northside
Eastside, Westside
Alright, alright
Alright, we ride
[Verse: 1]
Ain t the paper, that makes me daner
I just see the strangers they look at me stranger
They all give me more lip
So I give ya more music, more smackin
I stepped up to salary cappin
Passin traffic and lookin what happened
See how life takes a turn (uh huh)
More paper earned
Always poof, the case s adjourned
I am what I am, I come from North
So crime de la crime (uh yeah)
And specially when, ya pray for my downfall
That s why I try to stay from round y all (let s go)
Till my days in the dark, they find me (let s go)
Like me the maids when I park and I ll be
Still, doin me, still so beautifully
I ain t brushin off haters nothin true to me
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby it s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
They re the ones that hate you
Cuz they re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Verse: 2)
Yo, yo, yo
Now just imagine how the world ll be witchu cruisin
Sacked down, popped the blouse, get girls aroused
Popped out, shot the brows
Knocked the clothes and copped the house
Could it be that you feel you need me?
Huh, you love the way I flow cuz it comes to easy
When life imitate artex where the hatin start
You gotta love dat, try to stay good at
Who knew I d come this far
Who is this woman, a movie star?
My moms always told me I come from God
And the stress that come from y all keep taking
You be there keep waiting
Keep trying be patient
Y all wish I can stand united
And really fall in love in hearts provided
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby it s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
They re the ones that hate you
Cuz they re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Verse: 3]
Lately, it seems to me
That people ain t what they seem to be
They all want me torn up
I know there s snakes in the grass
So I pay my staff, to keep the lawns cut
I see all the drama you bringin
I combine that with posit thinking
I m me till I m old and grey
When that day comes
I ma teach my daughters do be the same way
I am the way I am, I m from the hood
So crime de le crime
And specially when, ya pray for my downfall
That s why I try to stay from round y all (that s why
You never keep me down
So I ll always be around, forget about it
Still doin it, (still doin me)
So beautifully I ain t brushin off haters nothin true to me
[Chorus: Mario Winans X2]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby it s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
They re the ones that hate you
Cuz they re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Ending: Mario Winans]
Just do your thing
Cuz people gon hate you anyway uh

Cuz people gonna hate you anyway uh
