Get down stay up all night now, Let's do this one more time,
Everything'll be alright alright, Bring it in bring it in what, bring in,the verse
Listen up 'cause there ain't nothin' funny,
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money,
I wanna little house where my band can live,
'Cause we're tired of movin' every other weekend
I wanna go to parties where they got no guns,
I wanna rock with my band, I wanna have a little fun
With thugs and punks and any other type,
'Cause we sing this song and we sing it all night,
(Chorus)-Everything's gonna be alright now, everything's gonna be alright
Get down stay up all night now, Let's do this one more time,
Everything'll be alright, Everything will be alright, alright

All I wanna do is kick the welfare, all I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is kick the welfare, all I wanna do is get my share
And I don't wanna run for the president, I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin' us down,
Tired of my old man 'cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating off of other people's plates,
And I don't look important, so they're tellin' me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist,
I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
Said all I wanna do is kick the welfare,
All I wanna do is get my share,
All I wanna do is make somethin' of it
It's GC baby and we're workin' with somethin', I said
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
We'll be self-made millionaires,
These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah,
And we'll see what we'll be
Everything's gonna be alright now,
Everybody say oh yeah thats right,
Everything's gonna be all right now, everybody say it one more time everything'll be alright, alright
We'll see you when we get there, We'll see you when we get there,
On the video, Or the radio, In the magazines, On the movie screens
Motivation Proclamation
Spend your lazy, endless crazy days, inside my head,
You're so selfish, you're not the only one who thinks he's dead
I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial for what you think I said
But I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day
(Chorus)-
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground x2
(Chorus Ends)
I'm unrealistic and narcisistic,
You say I'm selfish and absurd
You try to change me, you try to save me
You say I'm gonna learn, I'm so blind,
I'm out of time, You're so unkind sometimes,
I never lied, I never lied, I never lied...
Cuz I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
'Cause everything it'll be ok,
You know we're gonna live to see another day,
Yeah...yeah...
Motivate me...(i wanna get myself out of this)yeah,
Motivate me...(i wanna get myself out of this)yeah,
Motivate me...(i wanna get myself out of this)yeah,
Motivate me...(i wanna get myself out of this)yeah...
East Coast Anthem
Walking on the streets of D.C.,
On the eastcoast where I live, You say what's the problem
What's with this angry kid
You don't like the way I walk, Or the way I talk,
Or the way I swing my hands,
You don't like the words I speak, or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll never understand
You know-
On the eastcoast, we ride until we die-
You know
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind,walk this way,
You know
Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or 2, we change a thing or 2,
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think,
We cant change the way they think so we're not changin' anything
You know-
On the eastcoast, we ride until we die-
You know
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind, leave today
You know
Cause...On the eastcoast we ride
Until the day we die
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind,walk this way,
There's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind, leave today
You know
Festival Song
I don't care about a thing today, I used to but I'm fed up,
And I can hear the words you say, I wish that you would shut up
I've got responsibility, that is my liability, a menace to society,
At least that's what they said to me,
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life, And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life,
People always tell me not to waste my time,
To get a real job and get back in line,
You can say I'll never be a millionaire,
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere,
I've got responsibility, that is my liability,
I'm questioning authority
They say there's not a chance for me
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life, And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life,
Your future's no future,
Your future's no future,
Your future's no future,
I control my future
tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life, And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life,
(X2)
I'm leavin, I'm leavin, I'm leavin, I'm leavin tonight
Complicated
(One Time)
Alright, here we go
(Two Times)
One time for your mind, your body, and your soul
Everytime that I rhyme, you know I'm in control
Alright, here we go
(here we go, here we go)
And we've been here for so many years,
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there)
Every time I talk, you turn away (do you care),
Isn't Dad an obligation to care
(Chorus)-
And we said,
And we've been here for so many years,
So many years still it seems,(what)
So complicated, (yea)
overrated, (well alright)
complicated,
Well this feeling is love
(Chorus Ends)
Well I came through the door, yea I said it before,
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord, yo i pray every day,
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say
(and we said)
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
You got your little room with a black and white TV
You got your one single bed and don't wanna see,
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away,
A fourth and fifth and sixth now that was yesterday,
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears,
Lonely in your corner while everybody cheers,
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
threes for alcohol, and two's for cigarettes
(alright)
Seasons
Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like when we were together,
Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach,
And you held me through the stormy weather,
(Chorus)-
And I want to fall in love tonight,
And I remember when you said "everything is gonna be alright"
(Chorus Ends)
Laying in the summer grass, you told me not to talk so fast,
As I told you how I feel,
You made me feel right at home,
You told me I was not alone and you knew just how I feel,
I know we talked about it, I just can't get around it,
I just want one more night with you,
(Chorus)
October air reminds me of all the seasons of your love,
And what it was like when we were together
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems,
I just don't care, 'cause now you've gone away,
(Chorus)
I Dont Wanna Stop
all these games you play, you're messin' with my head (messin with my head)
I don't know why I stay, I should leave instead (I should leave instead),
When I speak from my heart, you laugh like it's a game (this ain't no game)
Yeah we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same...
(Chorus)-
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me,
But I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop
(Chorus Ends)
No I don't need you to buy me pretty things (you don't pay for me),
Pay for my tattoos or buy me diamond rings (we don't want those things),
All I know is that I'm happy to see you smile (i want to see you smile),
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for awhile (stay with me),
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
This has gone on way too long...
And I'm tired of movin' on,
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
I Heard You
Today I screwed up again,
You said I could tell in the way you said goodbye,
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend,
He's really cool, I get the point
(Chorus)-
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you, I heard you say not a chance,
What don't you see,
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you, I heard you say you're not good enough for me
(Chorus Ends)
Today I screwed up again,
I wasn't paying attention, I walked into the wall again,
I heard you laugh and saw you grin,
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand,
With all your cool friends, they're really cool,
I get the point
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
Today I'll give it one last try,
And then I'll know I wonder why, I did it to myself once again,
I saw your boyfriend, he's 6'3", Quarterback on varsity
The football players love to torture me,
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in,
I know that I'm not fitting in with you,
And your stuck-up friends, I get the point
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
Walk By
She walks down to the store at eight,
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great,
When she looks at me, I don't know what I saw,
I think he's tryin' to make me his son in law
(Chorus)-
When she,
Walked by, walked by, walked by, she walked on by
(Chorus Ends)
(Lets go)
Egos fly when she walks by,
She caught my eye on October 9th,
22 days before Halloween, How did I know she'd be my evil queen,
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
My mother warned me against girls like you,
She said stay away from them son, you know they're not true,
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell,
And when you're fallin' down, you're going straight to hell
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
Let Me Go
Down in the streets outside of Washington, D.C.,
I wasted all my time and you were there with me,
Back then it meant so much to have you by my side,
I always had your back, and you always had mine
Sayin...
(Chorus)-
Let me go, Have some fun,
Well my decision sucks, yeah
But I'm so young
(Chorus Ends)
We'd hang out late and fight just trying to have fun
We were such punk ass kids but we knew everyone
And who could see through such blazed up bloodshot eyes,
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize,
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
Screamer
Communication is a lot like the wind,
When I speak, It's like no one understands and I'm left with empty hands,
Forever I can't speak, So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned,
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find, So hard to find
Don't forget to buckle when you fall,
Beneath the pressure of the seconds, when, your life became a screamer,
Staring at the sea, things become so small,
I want movies of my dreams, and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall,
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find, So hard to find
You say that I'm a dreamer,
I say you're a non believer,
Take out the light, take out the light, Start screamin',
I'm dreaming, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me,
And you don't either, So tell me what to do
Take out the light, Take out the light, Take out the light,
Take out the light start screamin', Take out the light,Take out the light,Take out the light,Take out the light start screamin',Take out the light start screamin',Take out the light start screamin',Take out the light start screamin'
Change
I am lost in the see-through
I think you've lost yourself to
Throughout all of this confusion
I hope we'll somehow get to you
I practice all the things id say
To tell you how i feel
And when i finally get my chance
It all seems to surreal
Cause from the first time i saw you
I only thought about you.
I didnt know you
I wanted to hold onto
The thing youd never say to me
Cause you said
You cant change the way you feel
(i could never do that, i could never do that)
but you cant tell me this aint real, cause this is real
(and you can see right through that)
In the end its all ive got
So im gunna hold
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And now youve got me watchin your eyes
(im watching just to see, watching just to see)
You got me watchin just to see
(if youll ever look at me)
If it goes the way it never will
(but will it ever go, will it ever go my way)
Your eyes are watchin me.
Oh, and now youve got me thinkin bout
the first time that i met you
Standin in a crowded room
But i could only see you
And i hope my words will get through
Cause now i cant forget you
I want to tell you
If only i could reach you
And make you feel this way
But you said
You can change the way you feel
(I could never do that, i could never do that)
But you can tell me this aint real, cause this is real
(and you could see right through that)
In the end its all ive got
So im gonna hold on and on
Thank You Mom
Thank you Mom
Always, always, and forever
Always, always, and forever
I'm sitting here, I'm thinking back to a time when I was young
My memory is clear as day, I'm listening to the dishes clink
You were downstairs, As you would sing songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you
And all the times you stayed true to us
Now we'll say,
I said I thank you
I will always thank you, More than you would know
Than I could ever show, And I love you, I will always love you
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever
Always, always, and forever
You were my mom, You were my dad
The only thing I ever had was you, It's true
And even when the times got hard you were there
To let us know that we'd get through
You showed me how to be a man
You taught me how to understand the things people do
You showed me how to love my god, You taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
More than you would know, Than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
I said I thank you, We'll always thank you
More than you would know, Than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you,
That I thank you, We'll always thank you
More than you would ever know, Than I could ever show
And I'll love you, We'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever
