[Verse One:]
I met this girl, when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
ont he regular, not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money, no studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few New York niggaz, had did her in the park
But she was there for me, and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
and just cool out, cool out and listen to her
Sittin on a bone, wishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be, then it would be
because we related, physically and mentally
And she was fun then, I'd be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh yo, when she was underground
Original, pure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell ya, I miss her

[Verse Two:]
Now periodically I would see
ol girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
She didn't have a body but she started gettin thick quick
DId a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave, in goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip about, stoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
By not preachin to me but speakin to me
in a method that was leisurely, so easily I approached
She dug my rap, that's how we got close
But then she broke to the West coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And I'm a man of expandin, so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in L.A.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, afrocentricity, was of the past
So she got into R&B hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her titties hung

[Verse Three:]
I might've failed to mention that the shit was creative
But once the man got you well he altered the native
Told her if she got an energetic gimmick
That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, she's universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches
Now she's a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad stories, now she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realest, before she got into showbiz
I did her, not just to say that I did it
But I'm committed, but so many niggaz hit it
That she's just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her, and takin her to the sewer
But I'ma take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talkin bout y'all is hip-hop

Yeah..
Doo-doo-doo, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm..
Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo YO..

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
.. to the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yo, yo, check it
It's important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side, oh darling
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
it's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

(I'll) take my chances.. before they pass..
.. pass me by, oh darling..
You need to look at the other side..
You'll agree..

(BLACKHEART I'LL BECOME BLACKHEART BLACKHEART)

The pride is surrounding me seducing me holding me
Altering my perception of reality
What's wrong with me am I drive by the desire of vanity
Aggression in these words I speak circle of anger is now released
I cannot see what it means cos I'm enslaved by my own will
The pride is controlling me corrupting me abusing me
Feeding my my mind with thoughts that are not real
Now I cannot feel when the dark is closing on me

Why are we never satisfied
The grass is always greener on the other side
Fear of never having enough, dreams that turns into rust
Sometimes it's better to leave things alone
The road to success is hard and cold

I'm turning into something I don't wanna be
I've got a feeling that something is changing me
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

Fighting the battle that's growing within
It doesn't matter if I lose or win
It's getting to the point where I can't get away
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine

I can't believe my luck is bleeding
My demons refuse to let me go
The light in the tunnel I see is fading
My fire of life is burning low (so low)

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine

I don't wanna be nothing
Take me from this hell I'm in
I don't wanna be nothing
My whole life I've been the only enemy

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine

You go piece and piece but your world is bound
There was of this mirror only shown
Darken image at the back of flesh
I am least the one who cries

Just the air firing red at the sky
Fear are all the filth in your eyes
You can't understand what can you see
The world changes, there's no tomorrow

So the world shall fear me
Like the silence in my heart
And the peace shall tear me
Through the darkness in my heart
So the world shall fear me
Like the silence in my heart
And the peace shall tear me
And the worries of the arrival

Winter came and roses died
faded away before my eyes
Like a lonely child
IÂ’m still here all alone

You saw an angel in this dying universe
Searching for solace in her dreams
When everything is gone

You saw an angel in this dying universe
Crying for hope forever lost
When everything is gone

With your broken wings
you will cover me
in the ice cold embrace
IÂ’ll lay down and sleep
When this pain exists no more
and silent night hides these scars
Let the wind sing to rest
the lonely soul with fading dreams

[Tarja:]
In sleep He sang to me
In Dreams He Came
The Voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do i dream again
For now i find
The phantom of the opera
is there inside my mind


[phantom:]
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
and though you turn from me
you'll glance behind
The Phantom of the opera
is there inside your mind

[Tarja:]
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear

[Phantom:]
It's me they hear

[TOGETHER:]
My/your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your/my mind

He's there the Phantom of the opera
Beware the Phantom of the opera

(PHANTOM:)
In all your fantasies
You always knew
that man of mystery
(TARJA:)
Were Both In You

And in this labyrinth, where night is blind,
The phantom of the opera is here inside your/my mind

[PHANTOM:]
sing my angel of music

[Tarja:]
he's there..
The Phantom of the opera

I'm diggin' with my fingertips
I'm ripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones
Evolution

I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying but I won't assimilate
Sure we have come far in time
watch the bow break

And I'm sorry that I don't believe
by the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution
Just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
and I'm dominated by
This animal thats locked up inside

Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Hold tight, I'm getting inside you
Evolution
And when were gonna find these bones
They're gonna want to keep them in a jar
the number one virus caused by
Procreation

And the planet may go astray
in a million years they'll say
Those motherf****** were all derranged
It's evolution
Just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
I'm dominated by
This animal thats locked up inside

Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around [x3]
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around [x2]
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around [x2]
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around

I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
I'm dominated by
This animal that's locked up inside

Why
Why do I deserve to die?

Slipknots basist

We will miss you

CHORUS

Did protons and electrons create the earth?
Or did Allah meditate and create it's birth?
Is everyday in this place a curse?
Or should I pray on my knees and embrace it's dirt?
(yeah)
I don't know if there's a reason I'm here,
I feel the only thing that's driving me is reason and fear.
(yeah)
And seeing death to me conceivably near,
So I don't give a fuck what you think bout me reachin for beer.
(Damn)
I don't worry anymore about what my friends do,
I have a more urgent matter to attend to.
Is there something there bigger when I die and vanish?
That weaves everyone and everything into a canvas?
I'm not smart enough to think I have a resolution,
I'll never be a man with mediocre constitution.
My father told me that blood and power intoxicate,
And that tyranny is a product of his father's hate.

CHORUS

I recognize the guilt and the sins of the father,
And recognize what's built and what stems from the author.
Understand man is not a machine,
He need a surface and a purpose and a reason for being.
Either way I'm going to stick with my fam',
Regardless if that's a dream of a ridiculous man.
And I'm becoming more indifferent every day,
So naturally all the questions have faded away.
Some of the things that I said I hated to say,
But blame yourself mother fucker you made it this way.
I don't think I would even if I was able to stay,
I don't think you could I would sit to the angles and pray.
But everybody got to deal with thyself,
If they cut another throat for the material wealth.
If it's a problem are you man enough to deal with the help?
Or are you destined for the darkness of concealing yourself?
(yeah)

CHORUS

I'm trying to deal with the thirty years I spent in prison,
Not the physical, because of existentialism.
Ive backed myself into a previously dead deposition,
When all I ever had to do is just repent and listen.
Why cant everybody leave me alone,
I'm the only one who'd really need to see that Ive grown.
You ain't smart enough to see what I know,
Id like to stab myself and let me fuckin bleed til' I go.
But I'm too scared what would happen on the other side,
Trying to fight the good fight how many of us died?
I don't know if I trust the people that hang with me.
Is it God, or is it the big bang theory?
I know some really good people and they slang near me,
But I don't think that comically they should hang really.
At thirty years old I don't have peace yet,
And I ain't got out of the belly of the beast yet.

CHORUS
