Linkin Park - New Divide (OST.Transformers 2)



I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

And every loss and every lie
And every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
But I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide

Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park - We Made It





Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall

See a nigga survived the worst
But my life is glorious (uh!)
But I know that I leaped every hurdle
And I'm so victorious (uh!)
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness
Now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah)
As force securin' the win, but they
Believe I'm so notorious (yeah)
[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]
You know that I've been 'bout my bread
Even though we rappin' now (yes)
We used to live on the strip even though
A nigga higher level trappin' now (oh!)
Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh!)
So failure has never ever been an option (trust)
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it!)

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]
To the riches (on the road)
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road)
Come and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo

When it all got started we were steadily
Just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothin' we could do
Could ever get us respected
At best we were stressed at the worst
They probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle
Just the way to connect it
[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]
I was fighting through every rhyme
Tightening up every line
Never restin' the question if I
Was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it or let it die
So we put the chips on the table and
Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah)

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
To the riches (on the road)
[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road)
Come and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

In case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin'
This shit that I can leave for
My children's (children's) children's (children)
Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far I've come (yeah)
Fighting for sales when I'm stripped
To negate the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah)
To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel was (yeah nigga)
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh!)
[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]
Let's make a toast to the hustle
Regardless how you get it, sing it

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
To the riches (on the road)
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road)
Come and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lenka - The Show



I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

James Morrison - Please Don't Stop The Rain



I don't know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said
Or didn't say this time
And I don't know if it's me or you
But I can see the skies are changing
In all the shades of blue
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

I thought that time was on our side
I've put in far too many years
To let this pass us by
You see life is a crazy thing
There'll be good time and there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

Oh we're a little closer now
And finding what life's all about
Yeah I know you just can't stand it
When things don't go your way
But we've got no control over what happens anyway

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Can't stop it no, you can't stop it, just can't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Let it fall, please don't stop the rain

Coldplay - Viva La Vida



I used to rule the world,
Seas would rise when I gave the word,
Now in the morning I sweep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own.

I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes,
Listened as the crowd would sing,
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

One minute I held the key,
Next the walls were closed on me,
And I discovered that my castle stands,
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand.

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs are singing,
“Be my mirror, my sword, and shield!”
My missionaries in a foreign field.

For some reason I can’t explain,
Once you go, there was never,
Never an honest word,
That was when I ruled the world.

It was a wicked and wild wind,
Blew down the doors to let me in,
Shattered windows and the sound of drums,
People couldn’t believe what I’d become.

Revolutionaries wait,
For my head on a silver plate,
Just a puppet on a lonely string,
Oh, who’d ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs are singing,
“Be my mirror, my sword, and shield!”
My missionaries in a foreign field.

For some reason I can’t explain,
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name,
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.

Woah oh oh oh oh oh,
Woah oh oh oh oh oh,
Woah oh oh oh oh oh,
Woah oh oh oh oh oh,
Woah oh oh oh oh oh...

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs are singing,
“Be my mirror, my sword and shield!”
My missionaries in a foreign field.

For some reason I can’t explain,
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name,
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.

Matchbox 20 - These Hard Times

Matchbox Twenty - These Hard Times



Morning falls like rain,
Into the city life, there goes another night.
Losing my breath in waves,
Knowing that every crash, is bleeding the hour glass.

Taking the strife, from all our lives.

Everyone keeps talking,
They'll promise you everything, they don't mean anything.
We may lose our focus,
There's just too many words, we're never meant to learn.

And we don't feel so alive.

Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.

Move your hands in circles,
Keeping me hypnotized, the power behind your eyes.
Move around your bedroom,
Cursing the naked sky, you should be here tonight.

But you stay alone and cry.

Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.

There's something missing,
You'll never feel it but you,
You're gonna feel it when its gone,
When its gone.

Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.

These hard times, hard times, hard times,
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
These days are gone.

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours



Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to beat you but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my best test
And Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you will find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
Were just one big family
And it’s our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you want to come on scooch on over closer dear?
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I been saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours

Open your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
And look into your heart and you’ll find the sky is yours

So please don’t, please don’t, please don’t
There's no need to complicate
‘cause our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
