    Stranger In Moscow

    I was wandering in the rain
    Mask of life, feelin' insane
    Swift and sudden fall from grace
    Sunny days seem far away
    Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me
    Stalin's tomb won't let me be
    On and on and on it came
    Wish the rain would just let me

    How does it feel (How does it feel)
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    When you're alone
    And you're cold inside

    Here abandoned in my fame
    Armageddon of the brain
    KGB was doggin' me
    Take my name and just let me be
    Then a begger boy called my name
    Happy days will drown the pain
    On and on and on it came
    And again, and again, and again...
    Take my name and just let me be

    How does it feel (How does it feel)
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    How does it feel (How does it feel now)
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    When you're alone
    And you're cold inside

    How does it feel (How does it feel)
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    How does it feel (How does it feel now)
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    When you're alone
    And you're cold inside

    Like stranger in Moscow
    Like stranger in Moscow
    We're talkin' danger
    We're talkin' danger, baby
    Like stranger in Moscow
    We're talkin' danger
    We're talkin' danger, baby
    Like stranger in Moscow
    I'm live in lonely
    I'm live in lonely, baby
    Stranger in Moscow

    Confess! To steal the great achievments of

    This Time Around

    This time around I'll never get bit
    Though you really wanna fix me
    This time around you're making me sick
    Though you really wanna get me
    Somebody's out
    Somebody's out to get me
    They really wanna fix me, hit me
    But this time around I'm taking no shit
    Though you really wanna get me

    He really thought he really had
    Had a hold on me
    He really thought he really had
    They thought they really had control of me
    He really thought he really had
    Control of me

    They thought they really could control me

    This time around I'll never get bit

    (Rap: The Notorious BIG)
    Listen, I've got problems of my own
    Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
    Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
    Things always missin'
    Maybe it could be my friends
    They ain't friends if they robbin' me
    Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
    Apology shallow like the ocean
    I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
    If I was dead broke and smokin'
    I'd probably be by my lonesome
    I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
    Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
    The fool comes slippin'
    So I could blow'em open
    This time around
    I changed up my flow
    Got rid of the rocks
    Got pits by the door
    I've raised other peoples to watch my back
    Stay away from strangers
    So I won't slack
    And I know my nigga Mike like that
    Baby

    (Michael)
    This time around yeah...

    He really thought he really had
    They thought they really had control of me

    Money

    Money.
    Money...

    Lie for it
    Spy for it
    Kill for it
    Die for it

    So you call it trust
    But I say it's just
    In the devil's game
    Of greed and lust

    They don't care
    They'd do me for the money
    They don't care
    They use me for the money

    So you go to church
    Read the holy word
    In the scheme of life
    It's all absurd

    They don't care
    They'd kill for the money
    Do or dare
    The thrill for the money

    You're saluting the flag
    Your country trusts you
    Now you're wearing a badge
    You're called the "Just Few"
    And you're fighting the wars
    A soldier must do
    I'll never betray or deceive you my friend but...

    If you show me the cash
    Then I will take it
    If you tell me to cry
    Then I will fake it
    If you give me a hand
    Then I will shake it

    You do anything for money...

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    Insurance?
    Where do your loyalties lie?
    Is that your alibi?
    I don't think so
    You don't care
    You'd do her for the money
    Say it's fair
    You sue her for the money
    Want your pot of gold
    Need the Midas touch
    Bet you sell your soul
    Cuz your God is such
    You don't care
    You kill for the money
    Do or dare
    The thrill for the money

    Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed?
    Then watch the ones
    With the biggest smiles
    The idle jabbers...
    Cuz they're the backstabbers

    If you know it's a lie
    Then you will swear it
    If you give it with guilt
    Then you will bear it
    If it's taking a chance
    Then you will dare it

    You do anything for money...

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    You say you wouldn't do it
    For all the money in the world
    I don't think so
    If you show me the man
    Then I will sell him
    If you ask me to lie
    Then I will tell him
    If you're stealing with God
    Then you will hell him

    You do anything for money

    Anything
    Anything
    Anything for money
    Would lie for you
    Would die for you
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil
    Even sell my soul to the devil

    You Are Not Alone

    Another day has gone
    I'm still all alone
    How could this be
    You're not here with me
    You never said goodbye
    Someone tell me why
    Did you have to go
    And leave my world so cold

    Everyday I sit and ask myself
    How did love slip away
    Something whispers in my ear and says
    That you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though you're far away
    I am here to stay

    But you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart
    But you are not alone

    'Lone, 'lone
    Why, 'lone

    Just the other night
    I thought I heard you cry
    Asking me to come
    And hold you in my arms
    I can hear your prayers
    Your burdens I will bear
    But first I need your hand
    Then forever can begin

    Everyday I sit and ask myself
    How did love slip away
    Something whispers in my ear and says
    That you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though you're far away
    I am here to stay

    For you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart
    For you are not alone

    Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
    And girl you know that I'll be there
    I'll be there

    You are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though you're far away
    I am here to stay
    For you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart

    For you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though you're far away
    I am here to stay

    For you are not alone
    For I am here with you
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart

    For you are not alone...




    Childhood

    Have you seen my Childhood?
    I'm searching for the world that I come from
    'Cause I've been looking around
    In the lost and found of my heart...
    No one understands me
    They view it as such strange eccentricities...
    'Cause I keep kidding around
    Like a child, but pardon me...

    People say I'm not okay
    'Cause I love such elementary things...
    It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood
    I've never known...

    Have you seen my Childhood?
    I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
    Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
    Of conquest and kings on the throne...

    Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
    Look within your heart then ask,
    Have you seen my Childhood?

    People say I'm strange that way
    'Cause I love such elementary things,
    It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known...

    Have you seen my Childhood?
    I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
    Like fantastical stories to share
    The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

    Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
    The painful youth I've had

    Have you seen my Childhood....




    Tabloid Junkie

    Speculate to break the one you hate
    Circulate the lie you confiscate
    Assassinate and mutilate
    As the hounding media in hysteria
    Who's the next for you to resurrect
    JFK exposed the CIA
    Truth be told the grassy knoll
    As the blackmail story in all your glory

    It's slander
    You say it's not a sword
    But with your pen you torture men
    You'd crucify the Lord
    And you don't have to read it, read it
    And you don't have to eat it, eat it
    To buy it is to feed it, feed it
    So why do we keep foolin' ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    Though everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual, actual
    They say he's homosexual

    In the hood
    Frame him if you could
    Shoot to kill
    To blame him if you will
    If he dies sympathize
    Such false witnesses
    Damn self righteousness
    In the black
    Stab me in the back
    In the face
    To lie and shame the race
    Heroine and Marilyn
    As the headline stories of
    All your glory

    It's slander
    With the words you use
    You're a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don't go and buy it, buy it
    And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
    Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    Everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual, actual
    She's blonde and she's bisexual

    Scandal
    With the words you use
    You're a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don't go and buy it, buy it
    And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
    Why do we keep foolin' ourselves
    Slander
    You say it's not a sin
    But with your pen you torture men
    Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    Though everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to read all about it

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don't make it factual, actual

    You're so damn disrespectable

    Life's about a dream
    I'm really undefeated when MJ is on my team, theme
    Reality brings forth realizm
    It's the man of steel organizm, twizm
    Not from the prizm, take charge like manilla
    Nine five shaq represent with the Thrilla
    Grab my crotch, twist my knee, then I'm through

    Who are you

    HISTORY

    He got kicked in the back
    He say that he needed that
    He hot willed in the face
    Keep daring to motivate
    He say one day you will see
    His place in world history
    He dares to be recognized
    The fires deep in his eyes

    How many victims must there be
    Slaughtered in vain across the land
    And how many struggles must there be
    Before we choose to live the prophet's plan
    Everybody sing...

    Every day create your history
    Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
    Every soldier dies in his glory
    Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

    Don't let no one get you down
    Keep movin' on higher ground
    Keep flying until
    You are the king of the hill
    No force of nature can break
    Your will to self motivate
    She say this face that you see
    Is destined for history

    How many people have to cry
    The song of pain and grief across the land
    And how many children have to die
    Before we stand to lend a healing hand
    Everybody sing...

    Every day create your history
    Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
    Every soldier dies in his glory
    Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
    Every day create your history
    Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
    Every hero dreams of chivalry
    Every child should sing together in harmony

    All nations sing
    Let's harmonize all around the world

    How many victims must there be
    Slaughtered in vain across the land
    And how many children must we see
    Before we learn to live as brothers
    And leave one family oh...

    Every day create your history
    Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
    Every soldier dies in his glory
    Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
    Every day create your history
    Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
    Every hero dreams of chivalry
    Every child should sing together in harmony

    A soldier dies
    A mother cries
    The promised child shines in a baby's eyes
    All nations sing
    Let's harmonize all around the world




    Little Susie

    Somebody killed little Susie
    The girl with the tune
    Who sings in the daytime at noon
    She was there screaming
    Beating her voice in her doom
    But nobody came to her soon...

    A fall down the stairs
    Her dress torn
    Oh the blood in her hair...
    A mystery so sullen in air
    She lie there so tenderly
    Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care,
    Oh the blood in her hair...

    Everyone came to see
    The girl that now is dead
    So blind stare the eyes in her head...
    And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
    This girl lived in vain
    Her face bear such agony, such strain...

    But only the man from next door
    Knew Little Susie and how he cried
    As he reached down
    To close Susie's eyes...
    She lie there so tenderly
    Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care
    Oh the blood in her hair...

    It was all for God's sake
    For her singing the tune
    For someone to feel her despair
    To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
    Then to scream out
    And nobody's there...

    She knew no one cared...

    Father left home, poor mother died
    Leaving Susie alone
    Grandfather's soul too had flown...
    No one to care
    Just to love her
    How much can one bear
    Rejecting the needs in her prayers...

    Neglection can kill
    Like a knife in your soul
    Oh it will
    Little Susie fought so hard to live...
    She lie there so tenderly
    Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care
    So young and so fair




    Smile

    Smile, though your heart is aching
    Smile, even though it's breaking
    When there are clouds in the sky
    You'll get by...

    If you smile
    With your fear and sorrow
    Smile and maybe tomorrow
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just...

    Light up your face with gladness
    Hide every trace of sadness
    Although a tear may be ever so near
    That's the time you must keep on trying
    Smile, what's the use of crying
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just...

    Smile, though your heart is aching
    Smile, even though it's breaking
    When there are clouds in the sky
    You'll get by...

    If you smile
    Through your fear and sorrow
    Smile and maybe tomorrow
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just smile...

    That's the time you must keep on trying
    Smile, what's the use of crying
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just smile
