Yo papi, why you always seem like you got somethin on your mind?
You be stressin yourself out yo
Come here baby, let me relax you
[Guru]
But listen yo.. I m thinkin, I m thinkin
I ll be right there.. I m thinkin..
It s time, for a revelation
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
[Bu]
Ghetto life strikes, hold on tight
Ain t no lettin go, AIKKA, AIKKA AIKKA
is the beat in the street, crooked cops cock shots
wreakin havoc, it s tragic, heated, yung uns
run around gunnin for fun, burners blaze
til beef is well done, chest get infested
with lead more than less took to the head made it dead
Rest in peace, no grievin, no remorse it s
[Guru]
costin, all of our lives and all our dreams
It seems we can never accomplish thing
But we oughta do somethin, for all our strugglin
I ain t talkin bout the loot they get from cocaine smugglin
or jugglin, two or three jobs, or maybe more
Co-workers all a bore, what am I doin this for?
I can score if I stay pure at heart
but I guess we had it rough from the start
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation

I deal with what I got to get what I need
Speed and greed, only ends up as body bags
I m just glad, I got rep to breed
Too many droppin, like leaves off trees, fall it s like
all for none, none for all
In this land of the damned, everybody down to be the man
Nuff scams are ran, not only fiends scheme it seems
Dreams unruly obstructed
Innocent minds corrupted
Brothers and sisters scufflin for dimes and nickels
[Guru]
And fickle minds can t find what lurks behind
the propoganda, and the subliminal seduction
So wake up and renew
Even if you only do this for you
True, I d do a killing in self-defense
But then I d end up in the state pen
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
..
[Bu]
It s a danger zone, your own s prone to stick you
Victimize will make your blood trickle, this is critical
condition for livin, life and death decisions
makin moves with precision, raisin ranks and bank
Mixin with some click tank thick on the grassroots level
I connect the spots from the lots of production
Buildin on the function of the unit
Hit ya in tunes switched before you freak MC s scatter
[Guru]
It matters not, if the weather s hot, or cold
Circumstances, make a sucker act bold
I don t fear the threat of violence
I m just examinin the reason behind it
I find it s like a paradox, sorrow or glory
but everybody s got a story
Like when you pulled out, because they made you mad
You weren t quick on the draw, so too bad
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
Out here there s many things to see associated with pain
It s time for a change, a revelation
It s time for a change, a revelation
Revelation
Revelation
Revelation
It s time for a change, a revelation
Time for a change.. revelation..

Verse 1
It doesn t matter what they say
You do your own thing anyway
even though you contradict yourself
if you need some help it s okay
A little envy brings you doubt
just eat it up and spit it out
no need to make a compromise
if you realize that you re strong enough, oh
Bridge
There s nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind
Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don t you know
takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow
surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher
Verse 2
It doesn t matter what you do
it s only someones point of view
there doesn t have to be an alibi
when you wanna cry ·®cause you re blue
to spend a little ain t no crime
please yourself from time to time
we all get caught out in the pouring rain
we get wet the same
does it matter, no, no
Bridge
There ain t nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind
Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don t you know
takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow
surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher
C-Part
You hide behind feelings
what s that all about
no need to hold it back
gonna shout it out, shout it out
Chorus Tekst :
I m a gambler
And I m a runner
But you knew that
When you lay down
I m a picture
Of ugly stories
I m a killer
And I m a clown
Step into the street by sundown
Step into your last goodbye
You re a target just by living
Twenty dollars will make you die
I wear lace
And I wear black leather
My hands are lightning up
On my gun
My shots are clean
And my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly
And when it s done
You re as stiff as my smoking barrel
You re as dead as a desert night
You re a notch
And I m a legend
You re at peace
And I must hide
Tell where the hell I m going
Let my bones fall in the dust
Can t you hear that ghost that s calling
As my Colt begins to rust
In the dust
I m a killer
I m a clown
I m a priest
That s gone to town
