HollywoodLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
All american boy with big dreams of glamour life, bright lights and boogie
nights. The hype is "Everything could be yours if the price is right". Grab your
nothing and hold it tight, the first chance you get, you're heading out to the
west. This decision is one you won't regret, move to the place where everybody
knows ya, like Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
So you want to be a superstar, Welcome to Hollywood Quick money, fly women, fast cars, Welcome to Hollywood So you want to be a superstar, Welcome to Hollywood High times, big dreams, living large, Welcome to Hollywood One way ticket, then you'll live this. Life of a superstar caught up in this business. God as my witness, you will never change. Only been here a day, already in the game. You changed your name, you don't even look the same. Now you're on top of the world, money, power, and fame. Picture perfect, just like you planned. No longer him, 'cuz you the man You'll never get the best of me The time ticks away, you've had your play. Sold your soul for roll, now you gots to pay. Forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity. Settle for selfish gain rather than dignity. Another sucka, why did you trust a playa like me fool, eternal hustler. I'm taking everything and now you know. I hate to tell you but i told you so |
SouthtownLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
Welcome to hard times. Back again like its never been. For the first time,
seems to mess with my head. So when I realize what it takes, can I relate with
whatever? but never will it drive me to hate. Could be the next guy that you
take before I wake. Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray. This
here is real life, circumstances make you think. Should I be counting my
blessings, the next second my eyes blink.
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don't play Put down in the streets, will I see another day If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine And thank God that I made it alive One love, it's easier said than done. Can I rise above all that gets in my way? Like the words you say, you let your tongue get loose, and when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away. I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough. Tommorow's gone and it's the same old song. Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up. A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough It aint gots to be, like this Don't want to throw up my fist Don't want to be like this Don't want to throw up my fist I must resist |
Rock The PartyLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
We came here to rock this joint. Spread his love is the master plan. Let love
ignite like a star, and everybody in the party knows who we are. You gotta get
down, dance round, floss your style. P.O.D. guarantee, make it worth your
while. Bad vibes, leave 'em at the door. Soul checkin', house wreckin', keep
em' beggin' for more
We came to rock the party all night long So party people won't you sing that song We came to rock the party all night long And keep it live 'til the break of dawn Hey DJ won't ya play that song, and we'll keep dancing till the break of dawn. Keep it like the way it should, and ain't nobody gett'n crazy, so you know it's all good. B-boys, fly girls one time. A friend of yours is a friend of mine. Don't bother stopping til this jam is through, and if you been here before then you know how we do. We gots to play what we feel, then I can say I came real. Don't want to be caught mess'n around cuz' a party ain't a party when it gets shut down. Off the hook with the cuts, thats right. Feel'n loose cuz it sounds so tight. Rock da spot till the very end. Make sure that you're there when we do it again. |
Lie DownLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
I lie down
And I sleep And when I wake Sustain Me Outkast blast through deception, the tension, your mind collapse. Relapse, the stress of the matter, when I shatter like glass. The never seen, never heard style we bring forth. Can't ignore the four, ripp'n when I take your title, self, x it out like homicidal. It's vital, to make my flesh be suicidal. We tribal, sing with the Saints, let our spirits fly. Hold down the strong with the power Jah has given I. Break back the chains, release the squeeze off my veins. Empty box, hollow rocks, I knock you out your fame. Shallow grave marks the date , Oh babylon the great. Evil virus, be like Cyrus, trample down your gates. We're the ones, the chosen sons. Come our of dark into light, rather fight than run. We came to die for the reasons you put us down. Don't know when, could have then, what's the time, the time is now. Ready attack, bout' to break you down fast like collision. Religion, take you from vision to flashback in an instant, calculate precise precision. It's vivid, turn your intimidation to timid. I'm in it, count down to self-destruction. That's word to my mother when you suffer the repercussions. Clear the path, it's the wrath coming through. You ain't got what it takes to make me break beacause I'm harder than you. You ain't got what it takes I'm harder than you |
Set Your Eyes To ZionLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
Back in the day when man he paved the way. Fell in temptation, sin spread
through the nation. Lead me salvation, and peirce the palms of holy hands. Who
is the son of man? Take me to the promised land. Where I and I is free, Jah
set my mind my mind at ease. I stay cool in the shade even ot 96 degrees. You
must believe and plant this seed of wisdom. Stick to the track and don't be
trapped by Babylon.
Set your eyes to Zion Jah Jah people ride on Forgive them Lord, for they not know that what they do, people blame it on you. Can't understand why dem so mad. Dem heart get cold, empty with no soul. I've begun to search for One. Giver of life, I and I recognize, to be with you, forever I'll be with you. In paradise, Zion I set my eyes. Tell me Mr. Deadman? Do you have the avswer? How do you get to Heaven? Do you have the answer? Hey Mr. Deadman? I'll tell you if you want to know, how you can get to Heaven? Believe in I Jah Jah son. |
Bullet The Blue SkyLyrics by Bono and the edge(U2) |
|
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain. See it driving nails, into the souls
on the tree of pain. From the firefly, a red orange glow. See the face of fear
running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum. Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome. You plant a demon seed. You raise a flower of fire. You see them burning crosses. You see the flames higher and higher. This guy comes up to me. His face red like a rose on a thorn bush, like all the colors of a royal flush. And he's peeling off those dollar bills, slapping them down. One hundred, two hundred. And I can see those fighter planes. And I can see those fighter planes. Across the mud huts where the children sleep. Through the alleys of a quiet city street. You take the staircase to the first floor. Turn the key and slowly unlock the door. A man breathes into a saxophone, and through the walls you hear the city groan. Outside it's America. Outside it's America. Across the field you see the sky ripped open. See the rain through a gaping wound. Pounding on the women and children who run into the arms of America. |

Breathe
This is the knowledge that I bring, Universal worldwide culture Inhale, exhale I takes it all in No second guessing Truth brings forth a new passion No second guessing Push aside this fate for the ransom Stands among, gold seven and lox'd up White wool; fire eyes, glowing in red Water of rush, planet hold, in double edge Falling down dead, last first, it's one life Life source, in resurrection, these bloodstains Shining face, this morning stars reflections Embracing light, the clearness of sunrise Tower strong, in this refuge, my fortress |
TribalLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
Where do you stand in this Battle Cry?
Tribal Soldier? Represent! I and I a Jah Jah warrior The reconstruction commences. The soldiers equip for the lessons. My life, a sacrifice is made new through these confessions. Manifested, this joy is my desire. Light this fire to flames, praise the name, Jehovah Jireh, Is my provider, the truth that lives inside of this fighter? Take me higher, Master, Sire makes me a good rider. I'm gonna ride on down til I break through the front lines, and ain't going home until I gets mines. I grab ahold of my second chance, this time gonna make it last. Left the world came back an Outkast. To lay among the remains, through the trials and the pains. Run for cover, make shelter, uncharted terrains. Bloodstains light the paths to the ways of living breath. My soul is put to the test. Blessed with a mic in my hand, Jah make straight my steps. Then I hooked up with Payable On Death. We flow in Unity, stand in One while the foolish be. Lost in this hour, with Power we have authority to overcome while these cowards just pick up and run. We ain't done till this battle has been fought and won. The victory, how sweet it be, is already ours. Holding the stars, is the man that carries my scars. Always the same, I wear his name with now shame. Here in this Battle Cry, we will never die. We will never die Tribal Warriors |
FreestyleLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
Kids coming up from the alleys, not like the valleys. Southtown San Diego rats
out here in Cali. So Cal with the crew to show 'em how. You like me now, with
the sound straight underground. Putt'n it down, lift up this jewel that I have
found, and pass it around, flowing against the crowd. Hip-hop hardknox rhym'n
soon as the tune drops. Negative small talks, homie star kick'n rocks, and take
it all down the blocks where it belongs. A demo of songs, but they wouldn't put
me on. Thought I was gone, too late, but who's to say. My pockets are empty
and I got dues to pay.
To the tic tock you don't stop To the tic tock you don't quit, hit it Freestyle, freak with the flava it's the sure shot Floss up the Ave, when the spot gets hot Still pay'n dues and knock'em out the box That's how it is homie like it or not It's bad enough late bills keep stacking up. No one ever told me that it would cost this much. So buckle up and come along for the ride. Catching the vibes and staying true to my tribe. I got mad love for the ones that still around. Knew you'd be down from the get-go here and now. You make me proud from the diapers to the grave. No masqurade, stayed the same like in the day. One day when we all get saved. We're gonna change the world no matter what they say, and stay real playing what we feel. I'll keep praying for you while you shoot to thrill. It's been a long time It's been a long time com'n Hated by many and loved by less. Hold the thresh, resurrected here in the West. Clinch the fist, dismiss the stereotype myths. Loose lips sing ships, then plead the fifth. You hated this, no reason you hated this. If you only knew you'd be the first one to enlist. We come in love cause its just how we does. Fit the frame staying the same as it ever was. |
Follow MeLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
Reign, Most High
Almighty Reign, Most High Almighty I, Most High What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, Yet lose or forfeit his very self? He must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, then I will be ashamed of him. When the time comes, in his glory, we will rise I tell you the truth, some of you who are standing here will not taste death before they see jah creation come with his power. What can a man give in exchange for his own Soul he cannot save? When the time comes, in his Glory, we will rise. When the time comes, in his Glory, we will rise |
OutkastLyrics by Sonny Sandoval |
|
I'm an outkast
But don't count me out Underground dwellaz, roaming beneath the cellars. Failed us with this system, ain't living how they tell us. Hideaway place, it's safe, they raise a nation of hate. Erase a man for his faith. They feed us lies, dress up my King in false disguise. Behind those eyes, soul of a savior I recognize. No compromise, while the whole world becomes corrupt. Tonight we break the surface for lives. We coming up. Brother take my hand Lets separate ourselves Leave behind this place Don't ever look back Disgraced man, survivors of the wasteland, looking for a home of his own. No place to run, now place to hide, it's time for you to stand on your own. Militia, coalition, not of this world. Resistance, we the alliance. We freedom fighters, its honor we defend. We follow truth and never your trends. Brace yourself like a man |
