Hear the sirens, hear the siren
Hear the siren, hear the circus all go found
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend

Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For feel that someday this will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose

[Intro – Kanye West]
Yeah.
And you say Chi city,
Chi city, Chi city

[Chorus – Chris Martin]
I’m coming home again.
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I’m coming home again
Coming home again.

[Verse 1 – Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don’t know me- but,
My name is Wendy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,
N—-s come from outta town I like to show her off,
They like to act tough, she like to tell em off,
And make em straighten up there act, cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding

Verse One:
People have a memory loss they don’t remember I’m the boss
You’re claustraphobic when I close it
In on your men and your faculty you wack’ll be
Out my face you must be basin’ if you think
That you could tackle the triumphant I pump it
The volume increase as you mices get sliced to pieces
Please listen to my album even if you’re white like talcum
And I paid t’getcha stay here
Tuned with my tune and I presume if you see doom designated
To anyone who stated, a word against me
I serve an mc, simply
Put like my foots up your anus, ya shame us
Tryin’ to get over, I’ma go for mine
You know the time now they are older
I’m gonna rip n—a’s heads with the said salutations
Introducing Del and his bid for boosting tails
Of my adventures, attempt to try
And you will limp or die, whichever I choose, you lose
Crews get ashamed cause we blame them for bitin’
You might win if you start writing, and stop fighting
No time for games, I’ll rearrange my vocals
In your headphones, I hold til I get a answer
Acknowledge and abolish all the wack records
Hieroglyphics, you know, repect ’em

Chorus: [repeat 2X]
Who caught the harm, you bought the farm
If you’re friend, there’s no need for alarm

I don’t feel like writing, so this works.

You believe there’s something else
To relieve your emptiness
And you dream about yourself
And you bleed and breathe the air
And it’s on and on
I just kinda died for you
You just kinda stared at me
We will always have the chance
We can do this one more time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
All this time
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we’ll turn and come back down

Intro:

Aiyyo yo yo yo you better pass it
Aiyyo check this out
We coming to you live from that BOMB Chocolate City my man
Where the knotty headed n—-z and the Brick City brigade dwell
And if you don’t know your fool better ask
Aiyyo yo you better pass that blunt
And yo E we comin to you live with the Cosmic type stuff

Verse One: Redman

Well it’s that brother coming six billion feet from beneath
And you should be peep-in how I get smoked-out on the weekend
I swing it to my crew or down to my fans
Schoolin hell of stackas like final exams
Cause, it’s the Funkadelic, hit you with the irrelevant
elements, and it’s coming through your block
Can’t you smell it trick?
Wanna copy-cat my whole format
So you get funk tracks, punch lines and skull hats
Hoooo! Got a little Redman in town
Who’s that effin clown soundin wack with the frown??
I don’t know man, but you better wonder what I would do
While loud on this staff like birds one and two
My crew runs thicka than syrup from the burrow
You get hurt up, word up, Jam-med like Pearl
Knock off from blood clot puff on the rough block
Or I peep my man, Rockafella, it don’t stop

Chorus:

On and on, and it don’t quit
Redman rockin on to the funky s–t, c’mon
On and on, and it don’t quit
Redman rockin on to the funky s–t
I said Jersey’s in the house Jersey’s in the house
I said Brooklyn’s in the house Brooklyn’s in the house
I said Uptown’s in the house Uptown’s in the house
I said the Bronx in the hidouse The Bronx in the hidouse

Hypnotize U, Lyrics, N*E*R*D, N.E.R.D., New Music, Nothing

What would you do, if I said this to you???

HYPNOTIZE U LYRICS:

Just close your eyes let me hypnotize you
I can make your storm feel sky blue
Girl when you’re lost you know I’ll find you
If I’m not beside you I’m behind youImagine you’re on the beach and you’re lost
You feel the breeze because your clothes off
No inhibitions, you’ve got nothing to hide
And then help arrives, do you wanna ride?

Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Ahhh!
Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Ahhh!
Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Touch it girl! Ahhh!
Touch it girl! I’m behind you!
