Its gotta work
You feel the pain inside
N you know its gonna hurt
But this shall pass
And you shall finally show your worth
Every breath Every moment
u have spent here on this earth
Its time to rise above and conquer all this hurt
Make it work..
Make it..
Ima man of words, many thoughts
actions speak most people talk
Visualizin in their hearts
The taste of fame, toppin charts
Making accusations that they'll
See me when I catch that spark
Uh...My best regards
But I highly doubt they'll
Have such luck
(Lupe Fiasco)
Now all your outsides are in a rush,
and all your insides are out of touch,
and then you realize, Real lives,
life the idea dies.
And the crush, pulverized into dust,
And the poltergeist rises up,
Under the hill lies,
Now lies us,
Cut lady luck knifes didn't gassed us up.
Cause your pleasure is painful,
yeah you know, you know, you know,
well it's worse,
cause you don't know,
just how much it,
I'm writing you,
In spite of you,
The conflict rests inside of you,
Dividing you,
Devour you,
Defeating and de-power you.
Depletin and deflower you,
Revolutions waiting on the hour to,
Expose our love,
And weakness of the powerful.
Redefine uncomfortable,
Is currently the question,
And the suffering,
The famous nameless angels are up under you.
Your happiness is killing me,
The fantasy and fantasize,
Insanity romantically are,
Pleasure is painful,
yeah you know, you know, you know,
well it's worse,
when you don't know,
just how much it hurts.
Uh.
(Chris Louis)
I got something for you
If u already know then its probably true
Old news..
Heard it before
Wanna get a deal when he out on tour
but no one ever works for
The cream or the croix (crop)
Less the crop of the cream
Got a cherry on top
Yes I'm on the english shit
I had to come proper since t knibbs quit
He was sick of the clicks
And the mix sound lame
Sick of the kids
Spittin chicks and game
Tryna paint a picture
But they missed the frame
Try ta catch a ride
But they missed the train
Damn and it hurt so bad
We were kickin shit before these kids could rap..
Now if you got a mic
And you got a mac
Every man want it
Till it fuckin hurt so bad

People wanna know
tell me what the problem is
I'm not the one to be breaking all these promises
We in a world of hate and dealing with the consequence
And I don't even know if any one else has some common sense.
Uhh and we neglect to feel
Would rather go numb then feel a pain so real
Deep within our hearts I couldn't chart how much it kills
If no one else can build it up
Ill take the lead and truly will
(Chorus)
We're in a world at war in need of peace will it ever end? Where's the answer?
Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change.
Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up.
I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up
together we're more than this.
(Chris Louis)
Hearts break so fast but can it slow down?
Always takes time to heal but they don't know now
they just don't know how to heal the pain as they suffer
Never really had to deal with the pain of losing another
Damn seen her cry herself to sleep and i never felt another persons pain so deeply
See me I could build my strength just to carry on
Life is never fair but at least I care enough to write this song.
(Chorus)
World at war in need of peace will it ever end? Where's the answer?
Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change.
Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up.
I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up
(Chris Louis)
25 years deep n I'm still here.
Tell me if you understand is my message still clear?
Here take my words, my voice,
Or my soul but atleast you'll always have the words I'm writing in this song
And the strength to carry on
Please keep your faith too..
Isn't the time to be letting people break you
What doesn't kill you in the end
Stronger it will make you.
its time to build it up
And see how far this shit will take you.
(Chorus)
We're in a world of war in need for peace will it ever end?
Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change.
Never let em bring you down
World at war in need for peace will it ever end? Where's the answer?
Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change.
Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up.
I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up
together we're more than this.
World at war in need for peace will it ever end? Where's the answer?
Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change.
Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up.
I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up

Man...
We all came too far
Me, I came and saw
Yet to conquer
But Ill be honored
If its not too soon
Or not too far
Not by noon or not tomorrow
Not my time
Then its not my fault
If Its not my heart
Then its not my call
If I never rise
Then I never fall
is it all too soon?
If lifes a bitch then I'm the groom
I'd assume, shed marry me
and if I treat her wrong then she could leave
Be my eve, bite the apple
You know me ill follow after
Any challenge I could tackle
Free your soul I'm your pastor
(Chorus)
Dreams are often dreamt
Some people sleep
I already slept
Already wept, shed my tears
Dealt with pain, helped my peers
Dealt with fears, only God
Held my own, from the start.
Even tho most men fall apart
I kept my guard and I carried on
Through it all
I took note of what I did, heard
felt and saw.
Good and bad I felt it all
Tears of pain
And tears of joy...
What.. doesn't kill me
I destroy
i destroy..

Yo... Ill Will
(T. Knibbs)
its your boy tknibbs and C.L.
(Nas)
straight like that
(Blame God.. Blame God he blew breathe in my lungs)
(Chris Louis)
Check how I flew across seas..
People tried to cross me
Started seeing who I am
Now they can't get off me
frying in the pan..and
now I can't get off heat
Burnt from this life
But I use to be raw meat
Damn..
Don't they ever realize
that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
The past doesn't predict
The future in my eyes
Creator of the earth, the fruit was our demise.
They ruthless with the lies
So who do you despise?
If my actions speaks louder
Louder than these words can
Tellin me they cut
As if I was a surgeon
General warning, words born from my breathe
if you take that away I guess I'm marked for death
Its always sex, money, drugs,murder, women andn alcohol..
But where would most of yall be without it all?
Guess that would be your downfall
(Chorus)
(Nas)
You a killer or a hustler
dealer or customer
Gangsta or buster, youngster an old nigga
A weed head, a coke sniffer
You rich or a broke nigga
Know you all relate to this shit that i wrote niggas
Lots of my mans trapped up in a max
Penatentary, sending me letters i answer back
That eventually, we be all bentley'ed out
Throwing campaigns, fuck it I'm running for White House
My niggas control Senate, pipe seats jeeps tinted
Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky shit
Did dirt now I knew it would come back one day
So I'm on point, strapped, prepare for gunplay
Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar
Ready to blast ,nigga gave me dap said I feel ya
Can't believe how my life changed
From the hood, the first time in my life I can say i did the right thing.
(Chorus)
(T. Knibbs)
Don't ask me cause he gettin money tax free
them W2's got nothin on you
yearly figures like them mathletes running laps
no track meet, don't gas me
ill stay ahead of the game
your new track so last week
stay a few steps, so past peak
its understandable you cant speak
any one of these could be my last speech
made my name in jersey, ask peeps
i know they cant stand me
so we staying underground
now they come around when they gasp for me
in the Abyss sippin brandy
VSOP yea you know me.
We cruise... Reclined in leather
Staying low key..
heated seats still chill, any weather
dudes coming at me they aint gettin any better
while im settin every measure
cant say its a lack of effort
and you can blame God, blame whoever
Im here to stay
how it is today
what they fear to play
even if i quit
these MP3's will still exist
so put your tears away.
(Chorus)
(Chris Louis)
Yea blame God..
You know it really doesn't matter where we are at man.
Overseas, you know UK, Denmark, Italy, France, whatever man its like New Jersey, New York South Carolina. They can blame God.. We are gonna keep doing this shit.. You know..
Blame God.

(Lykke Li/Chorus)
He's dumb... hes so foolish
why did you trade in your bow n arrow cupid?
it hurts more when you shoot at me
i been shot three times nuttin new to me
its like who is she, caught up in the rapture
a few shots and he already gotcha
fall so hard that he cant even catch ya
bullet so deep that the wound stays wrapped up
never goes away so you scared like that for the rest of your life now dont
that suck..
what.. you gonna do now
run from cupid cause every girl foul
and watch my back when he's in my town
try stay away from that love lockdown
808's n heartbreaks been down that route
been too late, and i been too proud
women that I pick, cant figure out
every single chick make me sick right now
need to dodge these bullets but i dont know how
like Neo in the matrix slow things down,
and I hope they found, love at first sight
as a matter of fact now thats the worst type
forced situations, lust mistaken
bullet through the heart seems so damn blatant
cant fake it, uh..the passion a blazing
9 millimeter gold tip engraved with
cupids initials, i hope they make it.
(Lykke Li/Chorus)
(Yea, yea you'll fall too.)
watch out hide,people better run
cause cupid gotta what now
cupid gotta gun
cupid got a glock nine
its onnn
ima do fine i can hold my own
Got a new woman and she aint a clone
I put it in words
Ill even put it in stones
A diamond hell even cubic zircone
Because it feels so right
Before I was so wrong
Don't know why it took me oh so long
She coulda been late, or oh so gone
Yea.. And that's fine and great
But they say good things come
To those who wait
coulda been fate
Couldn't be cupid
cupid got a gun n he dyin to use it
Rang off shots causing mass confusin
But if you bite the bullet
it sound just like music..

(even if you were a million miles away)
(even if you were a million miles away)
(Have you ever tried?)
(Have you ever tried?)
(Have you ever tried?)
have you ever tried something you could never find
or is it everytime you the one thats left behind
second guessin like i wonder if its really mine
or, tell me is it true tell me that its really blind
yea...tell me theres a different side
more than all of this
seperated by a thin line
they say calm down you will know in due time
if its meant to be
you will travel many new skies
(Have you ever tried?)
(Have you ever tried?)
(Have you ever tried?)
we dont gotta steal the show
i know that we got the light
i know we dont got the life, right?
thats a start though
im tryin to take a chance
should i start with your heart tho?
or should i borrow
dont wanna leave you heartbroke
show you how i feel
but believe this aint an art show
start slow at first, take all the time
cause if i had more id give you all of mine
yea.. and no its not a promise
im honest, dont need to tell you lies to know you got it
love at first sight, yea tell me if you spot it
dont need a bow and arrow if you the one who shot it
ha, yea i know you way more than the lines too
other girls may look fly
but they just not you
certain type of female i can just adopt to
rock you, you my favorite song ill never stop you.

and have you ever tried?
(Have you ever tried?)
(Have you ever tried?)

Yea..
I sit here every night andn stare
try to make all my thoughts clear
but i cannot just forget
i gotta clear my mind n re-focus
i gotta change pace
but never change face
always remember who got me here
in the first place
its not the worst case
or the last babe
but we gotta go ahead n get the facts straight
they think they understand
but they aint noticing
what i go through every day to be a better man
you know i said it and my words are like a sedative
people start to dream visions seen are so heaven sent
(Chorus)
they say that i cannot dream but thats not me
but wait till my dream becomes a reality
they say its not me, not its not me
but wait till my dream is a reality they smile at me
i believe that i can fly
i believe ill touch the sky
one day i will u watch
climbing till i reach the top
and thank my family I
wanna say oh thank you God
you giving me what i got
on hands n knees my dreams realized..
I write my own music oh yea
but most record labels dont care
they dont even gotta show me love
but a year from now ill laugh it up..
free agent in this game
chris louis is the name
this aint no weezy babe
i can breath easily
i conclude, hear me say
my dreams will never fade away
not till they reality
friends n foes smile at me
i seen the lowest lows
i seen the highest highs
i seen the biggest of dreams
disappear like clouds in the sky
and people wonder why
i aint talkin like
i aint the king of New York is biggie still alive?
(Chorus)
they say that i cannot dream you cannot dream
but wait till my dream becomes a reality
they say its not me, no its not its not me
but wait till my dream is a reality they smile at me
i believe that i can fly
i believe ill touch the sky
one day i will yuo watch
climbing till i reach the top
and thank my family I
wanna say oh thank you God
you giving me what i got
on hands n knees my dreams realized..
yea, oh can i dream now?
damn i wanna dream now
i i wanna dream, i i wanna dream
yea..
No, its never what it seems
can i really what? can i really dream.
can i really try, do i really need
what will it take? to make you believe
n i never really wanna wake from this dream
makes things alot less aggravating
i stay on my grind but ive been waiting
baby steps it seems that ive been taking
no mistaking my hearts been taken.
people on my jock so my heads inflating
so keep waiting, for every statement
cause everything i say is so blatant
and each chance i get u know i take it
like Las Vegas roll the dice
i mean its hard to bet against a flow this nice
but it feels like im supposed to write
so oh tell me what should i make of
this dream and will i ever wake up?
it seems i should stay up
never slow down cause i can not wait up
at times i lose my breathe
if i lose my speech though i lose respect
if my dreams will cost me then heres the check
damn.. maybe i should reflect?
Nah..
