(ahh, can't you see we're rising?) Hey you, can't you see we're rising up? We can't stand no more of you fuss and fighting now! Yo, hey sir, put down your gun now no police allowed into this yard now soldiers out of this Babylon the only shots we want are the one we play loud! Hey you, can't you see we're rising up? We can't stand no more of you fuss and fighting now! Yo, hey sir, put down your gun now no police allowed into this yard now soldiers out of this Babylon the only shots we want are the one we play loud! You gotta protest the war of you freedom fighters no matter what, we gotta stand united!

You're no good! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again, that's enough! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again. I don't know why I did belive and what can I do, I used to live out of trouble, but since I met you baby I've got a question for you: &lquot;What have I done to deserve this trouble?&rguot; You're like poison in my drink, you hypnotize me with your moves with all your drugs baby I can't think, but it's a matter of fact that you can only loose... You're no good! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again, that's enough! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again. You are unordinary, girl, you're wasting my time and I know that, oh yeah, You are unnecessary, so come on and carry all your things and leave me like that... You're no good! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again, that's enough! You heartbreaker, you won't have the chance to break my heart again.

Blazing buildings, tanks are taking over, no man in the streets but behind the windows there is an increasing rage, people callin' justice, there is a growing hate, people fightin' Right to be shoot, right to be blame Right to be a people robbed of their place Right to be angry night and day Right to be accused, right to be blamed Right to be a people searchin' for a bed Right to be angry night and day

How much can you get when you’re down in the city? I’m going out to mess up this town! How much can get when you’re down in the city? I’m taking back what they steal from my hands. Use you uptown then they hyde you downtown now! They placed you there n you’ll be standing alone, now... Take me downtown where they’re burning it all down, I bust you all with my Rudical sound wouh! Chain chain you hear when you’re locked in the city! Bang bang you hear when you’re down on the ground. He’s dead my god, oh my god whatta pitty... He still a rebel comin out from downtown! How much can you get when you’re down in the city? I’m going out to mess up this town! How much can get when you’re down in the city? I’m taking back what they steal from my hands. How much can get when you’re down in the city? This you can get oh god whatta pitty! Bang!

People wish they go to heaven, but I would keep my feet on earth! My music keeps me going, fellow, don't you come with me, don't you go with me on earth! Please stand, to your right! And look to the flag! Start rallin'! Alright! Alright! Goodbye! Hidden here today in a different way, monday, tuesday, everyday! Waitin' for the miracle to knock on that door, (But) nobody sounds and nobody shows! People wish they go to heaven, but I would keep my feet down earth! Somebody would tell me that's better Won't you follow me Don't you come with me on earth! Please stand, to your right! And look to the flag! Start rallin'! Alright! Alright! Goodbye! I've dried out some brews and I can even feel better Hey chico hasta la vista 80 cent por cerveza Done defending money instead of deliver Drink some of this juice and you'll go trough this hell now Hidden here today in a different way, monday, tuesday everyday! Waitin' for the miracle to knock on that door, But nobody sounds and nobody shows! People wish they go to heaven, but I would Keep my feet on earth! Somebody would tell me that's better Won't you follow me Don't you come with me on earth!

I gave a letter to the postman, He put it his sack. Bright in early next morning, He brought my letter back. She wrote upon it: Return to sender, address unknown. No such number, no such zone. We had a quarrel, a lovers spat I write Im sorry but my letter keeps coming back. So then I dropped it in the mailbox And sent it special d. Bright in early next morning It came right back to me. She wrote upon it: Return to sender, address unknown. No such person, no such so. This time Im gonna take it myself And put it right in her hand. And if it comes back the very next day Then Ill understand - the writing on it Return to sender, address unknown. No such number, no such zone.
