U Autobusu
I was born..
I was born..
I was born in a concrete jungle
and I learned to make my own way (learned to make my own way)
I was raised by streets and the beats
and the books and crooks of L.A.
I was taken by the power of the word
and I had a whole lot to say (had a whole lot to say)
And I vowed, always to move the crowd
and leave em in disarray
Cause I live by the word AND I die by the sword
These here are strange days AND we here are strong
We live by the sword AND we die by the slug
This here is war AND this here is love
Pictures Of You(With Breaks)
I've been looking so long
at my pictures of you
that I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long
with my pictures of you
thatI almost believe
that the pictures
are all I can feel
Remembering you,
standing quiet in the rain
as I ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky
fell in holding you close
how I always held close in your fear
remembering you,
running soft through the night
you were bigger
and brighter
and whiter than snow
and screamed at the make-believe
screamed at the sky
and you finally found
all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you
fallen into my arms
crying for the death of you heart
you were stone white so delicate
so lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you
how you used to be
slow drowned you were angels
so much more than everything
oh hold for the last time
then slip away
quietly
openmy eyes
but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held onto your heart
if only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
all my pictures of you
Looking so long
at these pictures of you
but I always hold onto your heart
looking so long
for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart
my pictures of you
There is nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to never feel the breaking apart
all my pictures of you
