I Am Music Feat. Aaliyah And Static From Playa
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
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
How many times is it gonna take
Till 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
So back
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
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
How many times is it gonna take
Till 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
So back
Testimony
take
me
some
where
sunny
if you have a testimony
ba da da da da
they give you easy blindness like a moneylender
and you may need bright lights for surgery
ah-ahh
ah-ahh
tell me
i have a knife and time enough for everything
yesterday covers your head
with that anaesthetic dread
beautiful beautiful
are you dangerous dangerous
think i'm gonna die of lust
think i'm gonna die of lust
bite the dust
i will i will
and i can't count past won-derful to to-morrow
tell me if i die and never know
beautiful beautiful
are you dangerous dangerous
think i'm gonna die of lust
bite the dust
do do
i will i will
when e-ve-ry-thing's gone
i will be your champion
breathless and perilous and full-of-you-yes
