[Counselor]

All this time I thought this coming down was mine,
Now everything I fought to grow is withered hanging on that vine.
And all I wanted was all I needed,
You know, everything good in my life,
If you have to take it all away, no, no,
Take it all away, oh no, no, no...take it slow...
Everything I try to find is every love I'll never hold,
And in your garden, now the weeds are choking seeds we've sown.
And all I wanted it's all I needed,
You know, everything good in my life,
If you have to take it all away, no, no,
Take it all away, oh no, no, no... ...take it slow...
Now you find your own savior, for a time,
And if you try, my love, I hope you'll find your cure in time.
And all I wanted is all I needed,
You know, everything good in my life,
If you have to take it all away, no, no,
Take it all away, oh no, no, no... ... ...take it slow...

This verse from David Bowies 'Heroes' has always inspired me and raised a lump in my throat as the tone of the song changes, very powerful and d_fiant

I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day

In My Life - The Beatles




There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Francoise Hardy - All Over The World.......................(Click "watch on youtube - sorry!)





All over the world, people must meet and part
There's someone like me feeling a pain in their heart

Some may meet again under that same bright star
If maybe some night, you come back from afar
Who cares if tonight, I don't know where you are

Are you thinking of me now, missing having me around
If you have forgotten me, my world will come tumbling down

All over the world, others are sad tonight
There's someone like me, atching the sun's fading light

All over the sky, there is the same warm glow
Here under that star, I'm wanting you to know
Wherever you are, that I still love you so.

[Zet]

Let knowledge drop
Why should I be forced to play dumb?
I know where I came from so I'm going to claim some
But rocking to the top where the cream of the crop
Suckers calling the cops but they can come and get dropped
Stop think of the past the brothers that die for
Sucker to try for never to cry more
Tricks to hold his back but we'll see at the end
He's a fake not a friend
So he's thinking of when he can backstab grab or go your hole
Now I know the reason we must excel
Cause if we don't we'll end up in the cell
Move on be strong with unity
Cause that's the only way to build communities
Lies are told but yo lives must move on
And never stop open your mind to this rhyme and let it drop

Drop that [3x]
Let knowledge drop

Yo I'm running so I refuse to stop
Get sweated by them sell out cops
And I wink cause I pin the opposition
I'm on a mission to preach and teach to reach
So listen up to the flavor I gave you now dropping it
We folks know ballers know no stopping it
Dropping knowledge like the ay bomb dilly as napalm
I got you scared all you got to do is stay calm
For the simple fact that I'm black and educated
Proud of who am I and you hated
So all I have tried for this many have die for this
You see it and you hear it and you loving it
Now you buying this always keep your head look to the mountain top
Aiyyo rock and let knowledge drop

Drop that [3x]
Let knowledge drop

People rush when I hype this because you can write this
You constantly bite this
Thought that you could get me but you sweating me too close
Caught with the dope dose
Now suckers get toast wondering who you tossed
Cause you feeling the full force
Like what you hearing so your checking with the source
Tupac brother with the rhymes to rock on
Dizzy gets busy by putting beats to drop on
Amateurs get damaged if you try to attack me
Suckers get jealous cause the girls get at me
I'm not conceited but defeated I won't be
As long as there's dope beats I'll never be lonely stop
And let me breathe a minute
Aiyyo Dizzy what's up put the base back in it

Let knowledge drop [3x]

By any means neccessary it's kind of scary
Knowledge of the hands of adversaries
Makes them the larger leader kind of guerilla control
I was waiting for a prayer GOD gave me a goal
I refuse to be busting like a sucker for I'm fighting like a titan
And run you down like a truck
I'll take a chance I go as far as rock can see
Not mediocrity thinking security you got deal with me
Knowledge appealed to me
Pay back's a mutha if you steal from me
The bass pumps as the speakers pop the house jump
And knowledge drops

Drop that [3x]
Let knowledge drop
Strictly strictly yeah dope [till end]

[Keye]

With your eyes closed watching a strange show play out in your head,
But you were smiling somehow.
And your day froze and everyone in it sat still as a rose,
But we were moving somehow.

Back to when we started, losing who we were.
Maybe we should only tip a bottle back to keep us filled up
Back to when we started, losing who we were.
Everybody knows that you'd break your neck to keep your chin up

Open your eyes and the drops come in a snail race down to your neck.
And look up but you were smiling somewhere.

Back to when we started, losing who we were.
Maybe we should only tip a bottle back to keep us filled up
Back to when we started losing who we were
Everybody knows that you'd break your neck to keep your chin up
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
(Back to when we started, losing who we were.)
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
(Everybody knows that you'd break your neck to keep your chin up.)
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
(Back to when we started, losing who we were.)
You'd break your neck to keep your chin up.
(Everybody knows that you'd break your neck to keep your chin up.) ♥

[monk]

Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always
Brings me back to you

CHORUS:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

When love is truly right
This time it's truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh and on the way it grows
But it never disappears

Chorus

Always just beyond my touch
Though I needed you so much
After all what else is living for
Whoa

Chorus (2x)

[Almac]

I can't listen to this without a tear in my eyes.

^ One of my all-time favourites. Here's another by the same great man.





"But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies,
All I want is someone to believe"


Says it all, doesn't it?

[DRIMO]

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
