She believed in fairy tales and princes
He believed the voices coming from his stereo.
He believed in rock ‘n roll.
She left the past and those lily white fences
And headed out to Hollywood in
Search of her soul,
But she had to pay the toll, yes she did.
They were bound to find each other
He needed proof, she needed a brother
That’s when stars collide
When there's space for what you want
And your heart is open wide.
He gave up women for the stripes of the road,
And learned the meaning of grace,
That’s when his cup overflowed.
And she said: Hello!
He said: my faith keeps me from willing
But you know that I’m able
And if there's some room I'd like to sit at your table.
She says: it’s tight, but I think I can fit you in.
This kind of love don’t come from a prayer
Ain’t talking rebound, born of despair.
Yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
Two people in love, with nothing but the road ahead.
She believed in fairy tales and princes,
He believed in jazz, rhythm and blues
And this thing called soul,
He believed in rock ‘n roll.
She wanted to see her name appear on the big screen,
He just wanted to hear her scream his name.
Can you scream my name?
Do you know what I mean!
This kind of love don’t come from a prayer
Ain’t talking rebound, born of despair.
Yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
Two people in love, with nothing but the road ahead.

An Indian woman buried her grampa in the Black Hills
When she was young he used to tell her
That these hills belonged to her still
And even though injustice took them hills away
";One day we'll get them back,"; he said
";And the sun's gonna shine that day";
";When we say, right the wrong";
Before she laid him down to rest
She heard his voice in the wilderness
Sayin ";I got six feet of it back";
";And now we can right the wrong";
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame
Did you hear the one about the boy just 17
Three years hard time for stealing ice cream
First offence and all his dreams are gone
How long before they right the wrong?
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame
Right the wrong
2, 3, uh
1, 2, 1-2, come on
(Right the wrong baby)
Far be it from me to say
It seem like we could stop the flow of snow in the sky today
But I guess the weather man he likes the rain
Ain't that insane
Now sing
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames
Right the wrong
Hear the song
Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame?
(Come on, come on, come on)
Did you hear me baby?
Right the wrong
I'm 6 feet in the grave
I'm 6 feet in the grave
(right right, right right)
(right the wrong right the wrong)
I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Built like she was
She had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't 2 bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks
She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who U are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
U feel like a movie star
Listen
They say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance 2 do it all again
I wouldn't change a stroke
'Cause baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then
(Raspberry beret)
The kind U find (The kind U find)
The kind U find (In a second hand store)
Oh no no
(Raspberry beret)
(And if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more)
{crowd noise}
Ahh yeah
Oww!
Hit me band!
Oww! (Hey, hey)
Hit me band! (Yep)
From out of nowhere so they came
Smellin' like a dozen cans of wet Magic Shave (What's that funky smell?)
Some fool in a red mask totin' a one-eyed bass
Pulled it out, stuck it up the police officer's face and said...
CHORUS:
Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod (Watch it nigga!)
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, it's gettin' late (Move nigga!)
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way (Hey, hey)
Get off me jigger before I get perturbed
Find a job, lose the herb (Stop smokin', oh no!)
24 half eaten chicken legs (Can't do that!)
Make U wanna holler, make U beg (Yep)
U don't understand where I'm comin' from
I don't want your woman if she's acting dumb
She ain't got no money, so how she gonna pay?
If the girl can't have it when they grab a hold of me and say...
Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod (Watch it nigga!)
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, I said it's gettin' late (Move nigga!)
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way (Hey, hey)
Hey, come on
Hey
Mmm, come on
Another house party is running late (Damn!)
Nona's in the backyard, but she got 2 wait (Really though?) (Move nigga!)
She's got 2 get free y'all so she can sell her tape
Add an E 2 rap (What?), and it spells rape
Mmm hmm
Come on baby, wake up
I'm sleepy (Nothin' can save ya!)
Come on, let me li

Huh, what did I hear? (Push it up! Push it up!)
Uh, wasn't quite clear
(Ooh, everybody's here) Say what?
(This is the jam of the year)
Oh, huh - I hear ya, huh (Push it up! Push it up!)
Come on, uh
If U're ever down draggin' on the ground
Face twisted with a funky frown
Let me turn U on 2 somethin' that I found
2 make U feel good, feel good
Negativity like gravity
Gotcha fallin' fast from reality
U gotta get up, put up, move up
And just do what U should, U should
Realize that U are somebody
Come on, y'all, and join the party
Everybody grab a body
And feel good, U shouldЎ
CHORUS:
Push it up - push it up - push it up - push it up
(Ooh, everybody's here - this is the jam of the year)

Push it up - push it up - push it up - push it up
(Ooh, everybody's here - this is the jam of the year)
(Push it up! Push it up!)
Push it up, push it up 2 the sky
U don't have 2 have a plane 2 fly
If U listen 2 the truth and not the lie
Stop cryin', cryin'
In harmony, can't U see
Every color all in the same key
And that's the way Jah wants us 2 be
Start tryin', a-tryin'
Realize that U are somebody
Come on, y'all, and join the party ... Read more »

I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain
I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
Lie down, [fair 1//pheromone], and come away
Till the rain is over and gone
G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music)
Lead line (Face the music)
If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite
I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight
Talkin' so fast that even they
Talkin' so fast that even they
Don't know what they mean
Of all the things that base a rhyme
How is it that U everytime
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?
Thank God this ain't Monopoly
U'd make us all go back 2 start
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
Check it
Three seats over there's a lady black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her momma or another kid at school
Tells her about the fallacy that 1 race rules over the other
She'd be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music)
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know
And then the band say
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
(Face the music)
D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi
Keepin U from me and me from U as we grow
I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know)
Why those before us hated each other
Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feelings made of
Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need
Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played eleven measures
U will see fire, but u're cool as ice
U lie if u say this isn't nice.
Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
What it is is what u want and need
