JOE BUDDEN LYRICS - Send Him Our Love

"Send Him Our Love"



[Intro - Stack Bundles - w/ ad libs]

Listen, if you listen to this it's evidence you tryin to figure out if I'm dude (word, uh huh)

Or maybe somebody told you I'm that dude (word, uh huh)

Or maybe you one of the few that disagree with me

And got your own views about who's really that dude

Well (uh huh), the South movement got ten months left (ten months left)

And come Valentine's Day the game will merge to the West (uh huh)

And I feel it's absurd that the East is the sellin the less (uh huh)

Screamin 'New York. New York', the pioneers supposed to be the best (uh huh)

You blame it on the vets for our current state of the game (uh huh)

They won't retire, so the generation just remain the same (uh huh)

A bunch of oppurtunists that was givin oppurtunity (uh huh)

To make a difference in music but gave no oppurtunity (uh huh)

Nothin new or fresh, it's just the same ass sound (uh huh)

Same old producers, with the same ass sound (uh huh)

Up and comin artists got identity crisis (uh huh)

Cause whenever you you, the labels turn you away (uh huh)

But when you me you think of a way

To cast the criticism aside get on a track, say what the fuck you wanna say (uh huh)

The radio's goin to play, whatever the listeners say they should

And not what the listeners say they should (uh huh), indeeed they should

Indeed I should, SMACK a few niggaz like Suge! (uh huh)

But then there they'll blackball me

And that's a long story (uh huh), no crossover so I wrote the (Crossover)

But if the album sell out, I'd be considered a sellout

The fans keep askin 'when's the album goin to come out?'

Ask your local execs, I'm out



[DJ On Point - talking (echo)]

We call this one Send Him Our Love

Rest in peace to Stack Bundles



[Chorus 1 - Sample from "Send Her My Love" by Journey]

I still recall

A sad cafe

How it hurt so bad to see her cry

I didn't want to say goodbye



[Joe Budden - talking behind the Chorus]

Uh

I know you up there doin it big



(DJ ON POINT)



[Verse 1 - Joe Budden]

Look, what up Ray? Was speechless, I ain't know what to say

Got the call like at 8 AM, with Nate sayin (what?)

You had passed away, I'm like why niggaz stay playin?

Your myspace page playin, it started my day achin (OH!)

It hit me like a tumor, felt like it was too soon to

Thought it was a rumor, until it wasn't a rumor

Can't believe that it's over (what?)

But if God called you, I ain't even mad at him, he must of needed a soldier (yeah)

I was like your mentor, you was like my friend, nah

When I seen you, I would treat you like my kin and more (yo)

We used to scream 'fuck these niggaz!' like Tim Dog (fuck these niggaz, like Tim Dog)

You was the only rap nigga (only rap nigga), I would fend for (oh)

Was fiendin for beats, stuck between your dream and the streets

You just wanted to be seen as elite

Cause you loved Far Rock like I love Jersey, so I feel ya (what?)

But love somethin too much, guarantee it'll kill ya

For real a (OH!)



[Chorus 2 - Sample from "Send Her My Love" by Journey]

Send him my love, memories remain

Send him my love

Roses never fade

Send him my love, memories remain

Send him my, send him my love



[Joe Budden - talking behind Chorus - w/ ad libs]

Know what I mean?

I remember we was in the studio doin

Doin (You Know What'll Happen) (you know what'll happen)

It was me, you and Cau

You told me to keep my verses sixteen

I said 'you know I can't do that!'

I went ahead and gave 'em mad bars, you was mad as fuck

You went and tried to stretch your shit out, I wasn't havin it though nigga

(It, it's that On Top Music!)



[Verse 2 - Joe Budden]

Look, Riot Squad keep your head up (oh!)

Remember we would diss each other on tracks, laugh about it when we met up

I'm lookin in your casket, prayin a nigga get up (prayin a nigga get up)

For a minute, I couldn't help but think that you was set up (dog)

No matter who you are, you got to answer when the Lord callin (Lord callin)

I told you go and fuck with Jimmy, that's before (Ballin) (before (Ballin))

Go get your cash right, hard to slow down livin the fast life

I just heard you on Flex show last night (congratulations)

Like was it old beef or was you gettin stuck up?

A line outside your funeral, Ran was really fucked up (Ran was really fucked up)

And I was too but the difference is (but the difference is)

I was more in awe at the ignorant value of life that livin gets (I talked to 'em)

Pulled the burner on you, but you fought that dude (OH!)

I read the paper, it said the pigs caught that dude (like yesterday)

It's sad another black man, taken by a black hand

Wish your last night in the club, we could have saved your last dance

God damn!



[Chorus 2]



[Joe Budden - talking behind Chorus - w/ ad libs]

I remember like

I remember we was in Cancun

That was my first time out there in Cancun

Me and you was rollin together

You talkin about 'where the bitches, where the bitches, where the bitches at?'

Like nigga I don't know, you supposed to be "The Gorgeous Gangster"

Don't ask me nothin, I don't speak no Spanish

I love you nigga



[Verse 3 - Joe Budden]

I know the kids really need you (dog)

I keep tellin 'em, Pac wanted to sign you (or) and Big wanted to see you (or)

Pun wanted to cypher (or)

L wanted you to bring some of that good kush up and get a little higher (oh)

Go and help Jam Master J get the crowd hyper (or)

Or maybe Freaky Tah switched up and needed a rider (or)

Maybe Aaliyah single up there and need a rider

Know you and Rick James would set the studio on fire (fire!)

You in a better place up there at the pearly gates

You could be "The Gorgeous Gangster" and niggaz won't hate (niggaz won't hate)

Some niggaz tapped the bottle, pour out a little Hennessy

I'm in the clouds, screamin "Squad Up" in your memory (oh)



[Chorus 2]



[Outro - Joe Budden - talking behind Chorus]

I remember when you called me that day, I think you was in Far Rock

And you had some bitch in your car and your car broke down

And you called me talkin about

'Do I got AAA and shit?'

I'm like 'nah, but at least that answer your question'

And you like 'what question?'

I'm like 'well, I just heard a song of your's

talkin about you wanted to know why she won't stay with you

And she want go ride with a G'

Haha, I love you nigga

Uh, and rest in peace

NEIL YOUNG LYRICS - Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)

"Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)"



Oh, Mother Earth,

With your fields of green

Once more laid down

by the hungry hand

How long can you

give and not receive

And feed this world

ruled by greed

And feed this world

ruled by greed.



Oh, ball of fire

In the summer sky

Your healing light,

your parade of days

Are they betrayed

by the men of power

Who hold this world

in their changing hands

They hold the world

in their changing hands.



Oh, freedom land

Can you let this go

Down to the streets

where the numbers grow

Respect Mother Earth

and her giving ways

Or trade away

our children's days

Or trade away

our children's days.



Respect Mother Earth

and her giving ways

Or trade away

our children's days.

FOREIGNER LYRICS - Growing Up The Hard Way

"Growing Up The Hard Way"



He's got nothing to say, he's got no excuse

He's just made that way, and he's gonna stay that way

Like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own

No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home



He's come a long way in life

He's got a long way to go

He don't even know, he don't care because

He's growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

Growing up the hard way

Now no tellin' where you'll end up, boy



And he's got nothing to say, like he's lost for the worlds, his mind is in a daze

That's his way, it's just a little game he plays

He's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone

Cuttin' through the steel and the hearts of stone



He's come a long way in life

He's got a long way to go

He don't even know, but he don't care because

He's growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

Growing up the hard way

You'd better walk the straight and narrow



Growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

Growing up the hard way

Never know what you're in for, boy



He's come a long way in life

He's got a long way to go

He don't wanna know, and he don't care because

He's growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

He's growing up the hard way

Yeah, and he's gonna stay that way

You see, he's growing up the hard way

Walk the straight and narrow yeah, maybe someday

But still he's growing up the hard way

It's just the way he's grown up

Yeah, growing up the hard way

There ain't no other way

Growing up the hard way

MISSY 'MISDEMEANOR' ELLIOTT LYRICS - Time And Time Again

"Time And Time Again"



The things you said to me

Can't make or break me

Everything you've bought I give back

absolutely everything

And, I am through with you

You and your crazy moods

You be trippin' and slippin' and givin' attitudes

I deserve the finer things

The joy that love brings

And you'll be missin' my kisses'

And makin' love, see

I'm better off alone

Can't wait 'til you get gone

Ain't no need to keep hoping 'cause it's over and done



[Hook-2 Times]

Why do you keep coming back time and time again?

You promised me you'd change your ways time and time again

I heard the same ol' lyin from you time and time again

And why I take you back? because I cannot change a man



No use in talkin', better get to walkin'

Better get them chicks who turn tricks

'Cause I'm just too smart, man

I hate men who lies who looks me in my eyes

Come up with alibis for the thousandth time

I won't take bullshit

Leave ya ass with the quickness

Because I'm stable and able to live my life alone

Boy I'm through with you

No more to say or do

'Cause you're too confused

And it's over and done



[Hook-2 Times]



[Rap] I be comin' with a rap on a ballad

You should vote Misdemeanor on your ballots

'Cause you know I blow ya mind anytime that I rhyme

And I be down for a challenge

I'm wicked I-C-K icked

And I twist a twisted

From coast to coast I brag and boast

I'm better than most insufficient

I got that good love

That goody goody good love

That poody poody pusha

Slick talkin' sista to any nigga that wanna get with her

Don't ever diss her M dot S E

[Talks] And let me stop playin' with y'all motha fuckas

This aint no rap record get back to the hook

CASE LYRICS - Happily Ever After

"Happily Ever After"



[Case]

Guess what i did today

Those were the words i said to you

It was last May, don't know the exact day

In my hand there was a ring

And you told me that you loved me

More than anything in your life

And i asked you would you do me

The honor of being my wife (yes i will)

I will be your man, your protector, your best friend

'Til my humble life is ended

Then time begins again (couldn't we)



Couldn't we please be happily ever after

We can be strong together for so long (our love goes strong so long)

Couldn't we please be happliy ever after (couldn't we be, baby)

Leaving you never stays forever strong



[Case]

When i was away (umm...hmm)

Some friends became just faces

Some people grew apart

But you stayed right in my heart

In so many times, could picture this day inside my mind

And for so many years, ooh

I knew it would be you here with me, ooh (yes i will)

Take you for my wife, the center of my life

And i will never ever fade

From this choice I've made, ooh...oh



Couldn't we please be happily ever after (come on)

We could be strong together for so long

Couldn't we please be happily ever after

Leaving you never stays forever strong (hey...ooh...hey yeah)



You don't have to look no further than me (don't look no further, baby yeah)

You don't need much more than my lovin' to make you happy (I'm so happy, babe)

Beneath the side of God, i will make this vow to you (come on baby)

I'll be right here, stay with me (stay with me, baby hey)



Couldn't we please be happily ever after

We could be strong together for so long

Couldn't we please be happily ever after

Leaving you never stays forever strong (no, no i will never leave you, ooh)

THE TEA PARTY LYRICS - Heaven Coming Down

"Heaven Coming Down"



With nothing to do you'd waste away

Obscure in exile

They've witnessed the times

You've gone astray

Whose fault? now you're thinking...



Theres's nothing to prove

A message from the crowd

To the shore...



And it feels now

Just like heaven's coming down

Your soul shakes free

As its conscience hits the ground



So strange are the ways,

They all have changed

Still life it stays the same

A break from the past

Could make it last

Maybe just a little longer



There's nothing to prove

A message from the crowd

To the shore...



You surrender

Love under will

Rest assured you're adored



And it feels now

Just lie heaven's coming down

Your soul shakes free

As its conscience hits the ground

These signs, this fate

Takes a path you didn't choose

Stay Strong, Keep Faith

There is a change that's

Coming through

Hold on my love

Hold on...
