Greatest Hits '93-'03 lyrics

Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words onmy tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While I scatter myspit I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kissthat made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's yourmix, congratulations
We've changed a lot and then some - some

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes

You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl
if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
cursed consciousness is your private hell

You've got to trust your instinct
And let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
'Cause that's your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked andwild and I said
We come with the funky style that gets us known for the show
Andwe'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
And fuck the nay sayers cause they don't mean a thing
Cause this is what style we bring

Brainstorm
take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
and it goes like

Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
you ought to know what brings me here
you glide through my head blind to fear
and I know why
whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

You got to
You got to

You got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers
hear why

To come original it ain't nothin' strange
you got to represent you got come full range an'
full range of emotion full range of styles
when you come to town you'll have them comin' for miles and

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored

My name is volatile
I've been this way a long while
I'd surely like to rest
But the energy gets the best of me
It's been a wild ride
I wouldn't change a minute
I can't slow down inside
Guess that's why I live it

The years of mischief
Followed by weeks of thrift
I land on earth's hard face
No legs could keep that pace
And through the rest I sift

Is there ever a time

Passin' the kind buds.
Kickin' back in the sand in the sun.
To be alive is lovin'.
Where the shore meets the sea.
Man I'm hummin' I'm hummin

I'm free as I stare at the sea.
And I'm not comin' down.
The world is yours once you have found.
The good is to share.
Which is elsewhere.

The beauty of green is where light is now broken by what it touches.

I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere

I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere

I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere

I'll be here awhile

Far S.O.S. in a maddening pace

Sad state written on my face

Not a tight rope walk but dance

Uncertain game of chance

But I'll see it through in time

I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere

He was a king 'til she laid waste
now he can not fill up the space
and I just see him drifting
while he's drifting
on bourbon alley, feeling low
just because she let him go
I don't think he even knows
he'll ever be fine

And he's got a head full of ideas
let me tell ya, that you wouldn't believe
and he's got a heart made of pure gold
and something else, many tricks up his sleeve

If you want more beats for you buck there's no luck [4x]
Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I can't understand a
Music critics [2x]
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you he's never been in a mix
Been in a mix [2x]
We're from the grassroots so big up to our friends
Every crew, every click, and every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocracy

You're a transistor

Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
I'm only sayin this 'cuz Iwish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration I think it's such ashame
Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
If he don't have to hedon't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Oh how I'd like todiffuse your time bomb anger
It's screaming danger danger this kind of world

Now I know, fools get their own when they chit chat
Haven't heard yet but you can bet I'm not with that
With that talk with the digi walk
I stalk a bird you heard absurd word to the Fact
I'm a cat nippin sippin on the flask
Passin it talking shit but only if your ass
In front of me cause you could run from me but
In the end revenge send ends to the defendant

It is a gift I know
A moment of bliss that we hold
A firecracker flash of light then on
To the next plane soul remain
Come along if you dare
It's gonna be that you're scared
Lovely life I thank you
For the reason to see the pain through

Light a candle for the dead
The wick is burning returning what we have
It's who we are
We'll reach you if you're beyond the furthest star

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you

I'm all right I feel real light
I don't live a life that's uptight
Where there's fight there's struggling
I can't walk through the world
Without offering questions
What's my direction
Breakin' the grip of depression
There comes a day when you let THINGS go
There comes a time to a rock show

You know the time that you feel
THAT nothing else really matters

Oh, a whole new way of looking at things

The way you react to phone rings

The way it feels when you just let it flow

Sometimes I wonder just how it could be
To take care of it before we see

It off the rails

I think that you should know

You never cease to amaze me

You keep me from going crazy

And that’s one thing I know for sure
