I was blinded by bright lights, lost in the darkness. And sin kept my life in a whirl. Lust, greed and money and sensual pleasures. Marked the boundaries of my narrow world.
Word up son. I did cause I had to discipline niggas, know what I'm sayin'?. Eatin' like he live, he ain't live, word up. Nobody can't eat if I can't, word up.
Yo! we done feelin' shit. They got us smellin' like flowers. Real hahahaha...... YEAH! they thought CNN was over. T.O.N.Y. We still here. . [Chorus] Mary J Blige.
Verse 1:. . I was in love. I could feel it. And my heart tried to reveal it. But my mind said no. I told you so. When you asked me out. I had my doubts.
Freckles form a line around your face. And I get lost when I try to find my way. And I start to tumble down. Pick me back up off the ground. Teardrops boiling in a pot of gold.
And as our lives unfold. Until we're gray and old. One thing I'll always know. I'll hold on. I'll hold on. To your heart of gold. . When trials test your soul.
Yeah I need meaning. As much as I need air to fill these old lungs of mine. I didn't notice but I've been holding my breath as long as I've been alive.
The indecencies of city streets. The cleaners' sweeping trucks from nine to noon. And the factories make clouds. To keep the sun from being jealous like the moon.
The wife forgave the mistress. For she only entertained. The pain was gone the instant. She cleared her throat to speak her name. Said, Both of us must suffer.
How many lights do you see?. How many lights do you see?. . There's one to say that night has come. And there's one that guards this jagged shore. And there's one to call the children home.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,. Let your heart be light. From now on,. our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas night..
I'm staring out into that vacuum again. From the back porch of my mind. The only thing that's alive. I'm all there is. . And I start attacking my vodka stab the ice with my straw.
All eyes on the calendar. Another year I claim of total indifference. To here, the days pile up. With decisions to be made, I'm sure all of them were wrong.
The phone slips from a loose grip. Words were missed, then some apology. I didn't want to tell you this. No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with.
Pilgrim across the water. We are the same, brother. Hitchhiking back to Zion. Holding our tears as we flip the album. What if this leads to ruin?. You got a soul, use it.
Forever lost in comparisons. Between you and the better man. Yeah you're always so quick. To take a bow. I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy. And your postcard sincerity.
Sun breaks I can't wait. Til I'll be on my way again. I'm sick and tired of waiting. With nothing to do. Watching the rain through a crack. In the window.
Don't you know that we're out of touch,. Yeah, we fight too much,. How'd we ever get so messed up?. Every night, we say the craziest things. You know our words they once had wings..
