Coolio - Is this me

Tekst :

Yeah 1996
Coolio with the flow
Rated R superstar
LV that s right

Mossberg Smith & Wesson
Forty-five let me tell you how I learned my lesson
House party in the hood at some niggas I don t know
But I had to go they had a house full of hos
I stepped into that party with my nigga high off that head
The hos is looking good so we try to make a friend for night
Let s get it right let s get it straight
But now these punkass niggas in the party want to play a hate
I d bust a cap to save a rat so what s up with that
It s 1996 so these bustas get no kinda of doubt
Like American Express here we go again
I never leave home without it so don t even think about it
Just let me leave and I won t have to make you bleed
But if you make an offensive move then I m gonna have to show a groove
Back up off let s keep it soft
Don t make me have to show you who these 16 bosses be

This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside

Way back in the days we dudes don t forget a name
Now everybody wants the fame but things change ain t the same
All these sucker set-trippin killin for no reason
That s why I never leave the house without my nina
I love my baby carry my baby whereever I go
For these suckers get in a twist they say I beat their pimpin
Stop wishin you was in my shoes
And learn to be yourself stop acting like somebody else
It s ninety-six and most of the homeys thinking of six feet
The six I found out if you wear partners where the friends go
Every week you don t see me I gotta put at work
I guess the shit don t stop till my gaskets drop
Stop hating my life and get your own
Be true to this game or this game will do you cold
Everywhere I go I got my back
I hate to do my all black but I must stay strapped

This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside

No no oooo I can t escape this life

I been trying to live in piece but these fools won t cease
They insist with their bullshit so I got a full clip
Chitty-chitty bang-bang doin it s a new thing
One shot from a Jake .38 can make your brain ache
I m the kinda nigga that don t believe in frontin
But if you run up on me trippin you best believe I m dumpin
I got bills to pay and kids to raise
And a whole generation of lost niggas to save
So I ain t got time for that yip yap
If you start some static I m gonna have to blow your mind back
Believe that nigga daisy if you do it s true
Fuck with Coo you get done that s how we do it to it
Don t start no shit and it won t be none son
But if you do I m going for my gun
Like Doc Holliday a nigga ain t scary
So if you want to trip then I ll be your huckleberry

This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside

This really ani t me no more
These streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really really really ain t me
But the streets won t let me go
I can t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside

Coolio - Bright as the sun

Tekst :

Starlight
Starbright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may

Get this lick I try to hit tonight....

Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me

Everytime I think about it I still can t understand
What night these niggaz think they don t need a plan
Cuz if you don t have a plan, then
Tell me what you got
The old get rich quick scheme
Or bust her ass Broc
Niggaz be punkin out loc
Dyin over nothin
It s the ghetto witchdoctor with another loco potion
Hickory

Pleads to insanoty
Homocide
Rivalry
Garnd theft buglory
Purgory
Emergency surgory
A.P.B.
They lookin for a G
You ran through a field
Hopped a fence
And climbed a tree
9-1-1
Here they come for him
Nigga wit a gun
Now your ass is done
Ain t nowhere to hide
Ain t nowhere to run
Cuz the helicopter light s as bright as the sun....

(Chorus)
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Bright as the sun
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Shinin down on me
Bright as the sun

It seems nowadays
Just to get some respect
Ya gots to roll a Lex and collect a fat check
Or come around the corner on 3 Hobbit
Blockin up the street
Flossin back on your keys
An everybody s sayin you re the man loc
Never broke
An high off that pream old smoke
Sippin in the seat
Rollin in the ragtop Chevy 63
The p.i.m.p.
On top of the game
But now you re gettin laid
Cuz that gak weed o yay is playin tricks on your brain
You re lookin for a way out
Before your game play out
Cuz once you game play out
Ya lose all ya kriz out
Late one night you was rollin down the block
With a half a pint of yat and the twenty dollar rock
One-time got behind you and they told you to stop
But you kept rollin cuz ya said you wasn t broke
Out like a sucka
You dumb mothafucka
Now the chase is on
An here go the song
How the hell do you think you can run
When the helicopter light s as bright as the sun

-Chorus-

Lockdown since the 80 situation number three, a
Nigga is released from the penitentary
Fools betta recognize
An visualize
Don t be suprized
Ya betta realize
They gotta plan fo your ass, a
Cage for the mask, so
If you re rollin dirty ya then ya betta have a stash
Spot in your whoopty
An know the whoompty whoofty
When the whoompty whafty is done unto you, see
He don t know the new game
B cuz the new game ain t true game
Well he betta catch her quick
Becuz the old game is runnin
Nine is his waist
That s the new game loc, cuz
If you ain t heated then you might get smoked
He was walkin down the street
Mindin his business
Just happy to be free
And what do we see?
From the corner of his house
Here come one-time
Soo ff he dashed
Like they set fire to his ass
Cuz if he get caught
It s strike number three
An this might be his last day on the street
I bet next time you ll listen when I tell ya son
That the helicopter light s as bright as the sun

-Chorus(extended)-

Coolio - Mary Jane

Tekst :

She s my inspiration
my part time occupation
the catalyst and my consumation
in my quest for education
no one could ever take her place and
no assimilation, so save you false accusations
i accept no imitations

so that s the situation without further hesitation
let me continue my demonstration
for the congregation
to break it down for all y all simple and plain
i got a love for a girl named mary jane

chorus:

whatcha know about mary jane?
how ya ll feel about mary jane
ya ll don t know about mary jane
cause she s my main thing

whatcha know about mary jane?
how ya ll feel about mary jane
ya ll don t know about mary jane
she makes my heart sing

as i walk around the edges of my mind
in an attempt to contemplate
what it really is that makes me tick
I m reminded of emotions that saturate
my thoughts like sunshine
it always ain t the first time

that i m feelin this, feelin that
i m feelin that
they don t know about my baby
and the healing power
it makes a strong man stronger
and a crazy man sing
i m talkin about mary jane

mary s potent, see, yes it opens me
and makes me see things in a way
i d never thought i d see
mary ease pain
and mary never complains
mary jane penetrates the brain
y know what i m sayin

hcorus

i m not the first
and i probably won t be the last
i ain t mad at mary cause
mary always makes me laugh
mary brings light to the darkness
let me spark one up quickly
before they come and get me

don t listen to what they say cause
mary never contrary
mary mary very
nececessary extraordinary
me and mary to the mortuary
just one kiss on her sweet lips
and i become a visionary

mary never the same
mary don t change
mary make a man walk a mile in the rain
mary mary never temporary
she s my sanctuary
and when the love comes down
i m the beneficiary

some say if it s this good
then it must be wrong
but mary makes me feel so good
cause mary lasts so long
mary mary got no secondary
sweeter than a cherry
blackberry, or a strawberry

without mary, life ain t complete
cause mary don t lie, mary don t steal
and mary don t cheat
let me break it down for all y all
simple and plain
i ve got a love for a girl named mary jane

chorus

i m in love with with mary jane
i m not the only one
mary likes to play around
i let her have her fun

she s not the kind of girl
that you can just tie down
mary likes to spread her love
and turn my head around

i m in love with mary jane
she s my main thing
she makes me feel alright
makes my heart sing

and when i m feelin low
it comes as no surprise
turns me on with her love
takes me to paradise

do you love me, mary jane?

chorus

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

Rock candy brains

Must ve been on mushrooms when you wrote that pile of junk
Got rock candy brains and that head of yours
Full of holes, full of holes

Terry cloth s about the only comfort I m allowed
What with all the rain and this house of yours
Full of holes, full of holes

I m about...

Szkoła tańca

Ludzie mówią ucz się, ucz
Nauka to potęgi klucz
Dobrze liczyć wielki kumszt
Ucz się miłe dziecko ucz
Będziesz pilna, skończysz szkołę
I zostaniesz biznesvomen
A to do bogactwa klucz
Ucz się, ludzie mówią ucz

A ja chcę tańczyć, tańczyć, tańczyć całe wieki
Być krulową wielkiej dyskoteki
Nogi...

Better life

Friday night and the moon is high
I m wide-awake just watchin you sleep
And I promise you you re gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain t got much now, We re just startin out
But I know somehow paradise is comin

Chorus
Someday baby, You and I...

Colour in my life

When you walked into my life
Everything was
black and white
Monochrome was all I knew
Til the day I met you

Never felt this way before
Now I know my heart is yours
you re painting all my dreams
In every shade I need

Never really saw
the morning sun
When it rises on the ocean
Never knew the sky...

Comme si, comme ca

Oh la la
comme si, comme si, comme ca
One day I feel it s love
next day it s not enough
it goes

Un, deux, trois
comme si, comme si, comme ca
One day I feel so high
next day I wanna cry singing

Oh la...
