What happened to the original? Did that die out? Anyways

"If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest rift
and you slipped off the side, & clenched on to your life in my grip,
I would never EVER let you down."

I can't remember which song this was, but it was off Kanye West's first album, and it was by this poet called J. Ivy. It's always stuck with me.

EDIT
I feel kinda dumb now. It was "Never let you down" ft. Jay-Z and J.Ivy

lol

Well... I guess I'll post my favorite lyrics from my favorite contemporary song.

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile


Whoa...well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't never matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed up, now look this way!

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want it what they like, it's easy if you do it right

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa...well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good ...

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving ...

Whoa,well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now ...

Whoa,well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Are you asleep, are you in a dream?
The copper shades of a morning
Distant lights beckon & fade
Unwritten songs of another day

I fear that you would never be
Every song in the world for me
I took your hand, led you astray
You cursed the worlds I longed to save

Is heaven to you a perfect place?
The look of sorrow on a sufferer's face?
A field of lives to sow and reap
That some of us will never see

Why is it I don't feel the same?
Are my longings to be blamed
For not seeing heaven like you would see;
Why is a song a world for me?

What is forgiveness?
It's just a dream.
What is forgiveness?
It's everything.

This is the best song of 2007, from the band that has had the best show yet of 2007 (Muse). Anyone who disagrees with either of those statements is wrong.

Muse - Knights of Cydonia

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job

And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive (repeat x3)

Muse rocks, but that definitely NOT the best song of '07.

One of my favorite songs, with some great lyrics:

Beatles: Revolution
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said were up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

LOL Fresh Prince Rocks!

A gay boy wished, for a planet full of unicorns...

Planet Unicorn, Unicorn Planet...

Give it up for Feathers!

Oooh Catalac..

And Tom Cruise! Oohhhhhh

Planet Unicorn heeyyyyy

I'm.. kinda thinking I'm glad I never heard that one...

thats not even how you spell caddilac

Here's the whole of J.Ivy's verse from "Never Let Me Down". It's beautiful from beginning to end.

[J.Ivy:]
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out

thats not even how you spell caddilac
I don't feel like editing...

name that song!

I want your soul? I dunno...

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am, surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me
heal me
lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
Higher, surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me
heal me
lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down
another Needy hole
please
release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me
heal me
lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foul play, possible poisoning
I had to bring you in for questioning
I went to your grave, dug up your body
Brought it to my house, where you lay

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
For me...

I headed downtown, to share what I had found
It's not a suicide, it's a crime
I have a witness, it's clearly evident
There had to be someone else present
At the time of death, poisons in stomach
How could she pull it, if she's dead?

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays
Away...away

I'll catch the murderer
And send him away
I'll get the evidence
From your last day

Your last day...[x3]

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays

Away...away


-Buried A Lie by Senses Fail

Gravedigger,
when you dig my grave
could you make it shallow?
So that I can feel the rain

I love the Dave Matthews band

History’s made its mark in anger
As everybody knows it's what we do
It's nothing new

The next chords struck are fault and failure
And we both know the finger points on cue
There’s blame for two

Do you really want him coming Newo?
Do you really think it’s coming back to you?
Hold as the world stop spinning with that writing on the wall.

You’re neither Newo.
You’ll be cushion just enough to break my fall.
Why don’t you cry?
‘Cause right there baby, in the path ‘cause if you want it all.

Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.
He’s coming home, for you've been such a liar.
Hide your feathers near your back porch maybe to open up to cry your sorry eyes out.

There's a scream outside your window.
I'm only here to make my peace with you.
There's something new.

Oh, it was our time, feeding out lines.
If I could do things different, what would I choose?
Oh, don't you cry, no, no.

Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.
He’s coming home, for you've been such a liar.
Hide your feathers near your back porch maybe to open up to cry your sorry eyes out.

No other, could wait for a lover.
To erase, boy, when there's no more room for love, you sail her off to the shores.
No other, could wait for a lover.
To erase, boy, when there's no more room for love, you sail her off to the shores.

Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.
He’s coming home, for you've been such a liar.
Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.
He’s coming home, for you've been such a liar.
Hide your feathers near your back porch maybe to open up to cry your sorry eyes.

Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
I'm in love.
Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
Oh, don't you cry, no, no.
Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
I'm in love.
Wait a minute, little back porch lady.
