[Spoken Verse}
It's a blessing, y'know
You never, y'know, see what's gonna happen in the future
You just...live
I always lived this lifestyle, y'know
And I always knew I wanted to be something
It's, like, I just want my name to hold a weight
Y'know, like
I just wanted the respect
I just need that respect, y'know
That's it
And just like, maintain it
Stay ten-toed, loyalty
And just gettin' money
Y'know what I'm saying
And keeping the ones around me that I trust, y'know
And just keep sellin'

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why
I'm gonna try for an
[Chorus]
Uptown girl
She's been living in her white-bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
[Bridge]
And when she knows what she wants from her time
And when she wakes up and makes up her mind
[Pre-Chorus]
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love with an
[Chorus]
Uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high-class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
[Bridge]
Oh (x15)
Oh (x14)
[Chorus]
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

[Verse 1]
Last night, a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night, a little angel came pumpin' on my floor
She said, "Come, baby, you got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above"
Because
[Chorus]
In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more, wow
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more
More, more, more
[Verse 2]
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely, she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to me, babe?
What set you free? I need you here by me
Because
[Chorus]
In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more, wow
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more
More, more, more
[Bridge]
I just don't think he'd understand
He might blow up and kill this man
[Verse 3]
I walked the world for you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I'd give you all and have none, babe
Just to, just to, just to, a-just to, to have you here by me
Because
[Chorus]
In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more, wow
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more
More, more, more

Ooh yeah, little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
Ooh yeah, little angel
She want more

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Day after day (your home life's a wreck)
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect (you get no relief)
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off the jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, asking a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Verse 2]
How many times (is it gonna take)
'Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried being cool (you feel like a lie)
You've played by their rules, now it's their turn to try
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off the jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Bridge]
I said it before, I'll say it again
If you could just listen, then it might make sense
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

Give it to me baby (Uh huh, uh huh)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seís
[Verse]
You know it's kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks well he makes up in denial
[Chorus]
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing!

You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious
I think about you all the time, you're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright
Don't pretend. I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah, I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too, and you know I'm right
[Verse 2]
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
(So come) So, come over here and tell me what I wanna hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again (and again, and again)
[Pre-Chorus]
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, you, you
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way
I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you
I could be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you
I know that you like me
No way, no way
You know it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you
I want to be your girlfriend

[Verse 1]
Shakedown, 1979
Cool kids never have the time
Live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
June bug skipping like a stone
Headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
[Chorus]
And I don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Forgotten and absorbed
To the Earth below
[Verse 2]
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see
[Chorus]
That we don't even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
[Bridge]
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
[Verse 3]
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
I know you better than you fake it to see
[Chorus]
That we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Forgotten and absorbed
To the Earth below
[Spoken Bridge]
I follow the directions
And It takes me to this residential neighborhood
And I'm like "What the fuck?"
And I get to this house
And I'm like this is insane
And I walk downstairs, there's a studio
They were mixing the record, we're hanging out
And I go to take a piss
And there's pictures of fuckin' Bryan Adams everywhere
After, like, an hour
I was like
"Du—who's the fuckin' stalker that loves Bryan Adams that much that lives in this house?"
They were like...Bryan Adams
[Outro]
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around

Wicki-wicki wild wild West
Jim West, desperado
Rough rider, no you don't want nada
None of this, six-gunnin' this, brother runnin' this
Buffalo soldier, look, it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress
Be outta that dress when she meet Jim West
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step or flex and get a hole in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at
With Artemus, from the start of this, runnin' the game
James West, tamin' the West, so remember the name
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer (The wild wild west)
(The wild wild west) Superstition ain't the way, yeah
Superstition ain't the way
[Verse 2]
Check my dangerous slang atrocious
When I let these nuts hang, focus, it's Wu-Tang
What the fuck's a Hootie and the Blowfish?
I wave my black flag at the roaches
Who approaches, these twin, Supersoakers
Who have poisonous darts for culprits
Too late to get your blow gun un-holstered
You're left buttered up and lightly toasted
So what, I drink and smoke too much
So what I cuss too much, shut the fuck up
[Verse 3]
Now when we roll, you motherfuckers tuck in your gold
'Cause for the platinum, I'm jackin' n****s up in limos
It ain't nothin', for bullets to unbutton your clothes
Description, yellow male, tissue up in his nose
You bitches, swing the vine on the baboon nuts
I'm hairy as hell, outta hell and tattooed up
I'm a dog, only fuck in the bathroom
(What?!)
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer (The wild wild west)
(The wild wild west) Superstition ain't the way, yeah
Superstition ain't the way
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer (The wild wild west)
(The wild wild west) Superstition ain't the way, yeah
Superstition ain't the way

[Spoken Verse]
Fitter happier
Mind like a diamond
Knows what's best
Shoes that cut
Eyes burn like cigarettes
Right allocations
Fast, thorough, sharp as a tack
Plays with jewelry
Puts up hair
Tours the facility
Picks up slack
Gets up early
Stays up late
Uninterrupted prosperity
Uses a machete to cut red tape
Fingernails shine like justice
Voice is dark, like tinted glass
Smooth liquidation
Good dividends
Meet accidentally at Citibank
Starts to talk, borrows my pen
Wants a car with a cup holder armrest
Wants a car that will get her there
Changes name from Kitty to Karen
Trades MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron

I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
[Chorus]
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket (I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean, uh)

Ugh, you're a monster
[Verse]
I can swallow a bottle of alcohol and I'll feel like Godzilla
Better hit the deck like the card dealer
My whole squad's in here, walking around the party
A cross between a zombie apocalypse and big Bobby "The
Brain" Heenan which is probably the
Same reason I wrestle with mania
Shady's in this bitch, I'm posse'd up
Consider it to cross me a costly mistake
If they sleepin' on me, the hoes better get insomnia
ADHD, Hydroxycut
Pass the Courvoisi'

In AA with an AK, melee, finna set it like a playdate
Better vacate, retreat like a vacay, mayday (ayy)

Laughing all the way to the bank, I spray flames
They cannot tame or placate the

Monster (ayy)
You get in my way, Imma feed you to the monster (yeah)
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to a monster (yeah)
When the moon shines like Ice Road Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Godzilla, fire spitter, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
Fire, Godzilla, fire, monster
Blood on the dance floor
Guess who's back (back, back)
[Chorus]
Uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world (Hey dude, I love your band)
She's getting tired of her high-class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

[Verse 1]
I'm through with standing in line to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth, and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king-size tub, big enough for ten plus me
[Verse 2]
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club at 37, 000 feet
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
[Chorus]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair and, well
[Refrain]
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hmm, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[Verse 3]
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs, so I can eat my meals for free
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
[Chorus]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary, and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well

You are my love (yo), you are my heart (uh-huh)
And we will never, ever, ever be apart (yo, uh-huh)
Are we an item? (Yo) girl, quit playin' (uh-huh)

Said, "There's another" (yo), and looked right in my eyes (uh-huh)
My first love broke my heart for the first time

And I was like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"
Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"
Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Ooh, ooh, aah
You set my soul alight
Ooh, ooh, aah
You set my soul alight
[Verse 1]
I hold on so nervously to me and my drink
I wish it was coolin' me
But so far has not been good
It's been shitty, and I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be the most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well, I am imagining a dark lit place
Or your place or my place
[Chorus]
Well, I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
[Verse 2]
I hold out for one more drink, before I think
I'm lookin' too desperately
But so far has not been fun, I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well, I'm still imagining a dark lit place
Or your place or my place
[Chorus]
Well, I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
[Interlude]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
Fuck you
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die
[Chorus]
Well, I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

Honey, why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey, why you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
[Chorus]
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
[Verse 2]
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
[Chorus]
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
[Bridge]
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak

I want to close my eyes
I want to fall asleep
I don't miss you baby
And I do want to miss a thing

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful

You come 'round by my gang, it's Hail Mary
Them n****s not no thugs, they some fairies
I'm playing with them birds like I'm Larry (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Vamp anthem, vamp anthem
Vamp anthem, vamp anthem, yeah
Vamp anthem, vamp anthem, yeah
Vamp anthem
[Outro]
Vamp
Vamp
Vamp (yeah)
Vamp (yeah)
Vamp
Vamp
Vamp
Vamp
