Title Fight-Secret Society (w/Lyrics)



TITLE FIGHT LYRICS
"Secret Society"
 
I made promises that I can’t keep.
I fell asleep.
I was the one who locked the door.
I lost the key.
You told me lies straight to my face,
but I guess that’s fate.
I said, “everything is fine with me.”
I lied through my teeth.
I’ve lost all of my self respect.
I’m such a wreck
I’m running out of air to breathe.
I think it’s time for me to leave my friends all behind.
Watch me hurt, or are you blind?
I think it’s sad you’ll never know.
My true feelings will never show.

I made promises that I can’t keep.
I fell asleep.
I was the one who locked the door.
I lost the key.
You told me lies straight to my face,
but I guess that’s fate.

I’ll be you and you’ll be me
I’ll be you and you’ll be me
My secret society

Lauryn Hill - Everything Is Everything



"Everything Is Everything"

Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
[2x]

I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception
Instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game,
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? We're so confused
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything

I philosophy
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Rap this in fine linen
From the beginning
My practice extending across the atlas
I begat this
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper / actress
More powerful than two Cleopatras
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty
L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
Now hear this mixture
Where hip hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture

Now, everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually

Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
So convinced that they might fall
Let's love ourselves then we can't fail
To make a better situation
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication

Let me tell ya that,
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything

Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually

The Magnetic Fields - Love is Like a Bottle of Gin



The Magnetic Fields - Love is like a bottle of gin
It makes you blind, it does you in
It makes you think you're pretty tough
It makes you prone to crime and sin
It makes you say things off the cuff
It's very small and made of glass
and grossly over-advertised
It turns a genius to an ass
and makes a fool think he is wise
It could make you regret your birth
or turn cartwheels in your best suit
It costs a lot more than it's worth
and yet there is no substitute
They keep it on a higher shelf
the older and more pure it grows
It has no color in itself
but it can make you see rainbows
You can find it on the Bowery
or you can find it at Elaine's
It makes your words more flowery
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain
You just get out what they put in
and they never put in enough
Love is like a bottle of gin
but a bottle of gin is not like love
