There was a love affair in this building 
The kind of love affair, Which every respectable building must keep as a legend 
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way 
Or have you heard 
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer And mothers prefer doctors and lawyers

Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking 
And you’ll never find a mother who doesn’t appreciate a natural man 
So he grew healthy aloe vera plants by the window 

Healthy teeth in his mouth 
Healthy hair on his head 
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head 
The kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers

Dime a donde vas
Pensando que nada ya está mal
Haciendo en los días lo habitual
Quizás ni de menos ni de más
Dejaste que el niño se absorbiera
Que viera la guerra natural
Que de los extraños no hay sonrisas
A dónde fue el amor? 
Que desapareció…

-Chorus-
Qué nos pasó? 
Que ya olvidamos los abrazos
Que no confiamos en la gente
Que la inocencia es la palabra más ausente
Dime ¿qué nos pasó? 
Cuando juraste amor eterno
Cuando vinieron días buenos
Pero en la obscuridad dijiste adiós

Dime dónde está
Aquello que vale en realidad
Las charlas tan largas con amigos
Quizás simplemente descansar
Nos han educado a hacer del llanto
La imagen visible de fragilidad
Y que una pareja no dura 10 años
Sin protagonismos de infidelidad
A dónde fue el amor? 
Que desapareció…

-Chorus-

No me digas nada más
Si es que en tu mirada está
Ese gran vacío
Que ha sido embargado de frivolidad

-Chorus-

[Intro: Substantial]
Substantial and Nujabes
Still doing this
Yeah

Sorry love
Sorry love
Sorry love
But it seems like it isn’t in the cards for us

[Verse 1: Substantial]
Me and you is a blessing see
Sorry, sweetheart we can never be
The little things you do be confussin’ me
Still, baby girl, we can never be
You only want one night of ecstasy
Thanks but no thanks it can never be
Cause I got a wife at home that I’m blessed to keep
And to fool around with you would be the death of me
Can’t have the ingredients of the recipe
Cause it isn’t fair to you nor fair to me
And more importantly
It sure isn’t fair to her
Guess we might’ve had a chance before I married her
Cause wifey is worth more than life to me
A soulmate
Who am I to control fate?
Cause somebody like you is much more than a cud buddy
But I can’t give you all the things that you want from me
So…

[Hook: Substantial]
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
But it seems like it isn’t in the cards for us
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
We can’t be, we won’t be
Sorry love
But it seems like it isn’t in the cards for us

[Verse 2: Substantial]
I know you think I’ll be the perfect man
But it seems like the most I have ever pleased
Besides I’m no better than my brotha man
Can’t run around like Mr. Lover Man
Tryin’ to maintain
Spend the rest of my life with the same dame
That’s right, uh
Found the right one
Sounds like fun
But I ain’t this and that
Cause if I lose her, slim chance I’ll get her back
This is real life
This ain’t cinemax
Tryin’ get my little seats filled
People feelin’ packed
On these hardwood floors
On this house we own
They get hot, we know
But it’s not for show
Not that anything’s the matter with you
But there’s no guarantee that I’m compatible with you
And I can’t make you into something you’re not
Know people look around for what they already got
So…

[Verse 3: Substantial]
I ain’t tryin’ to
Waste your time, boo
I know you’ve been stepped on
And been lied to
God bless the next man who’s lucky to find you
It’s hard to sep the ties
But, baby, I got to
Uh, that’s the way it is
I know you don’t know what to think of this
And I’m really sorry that it came to this
Feels like an endless break it is
Cause I think it’s easier that way
That’s passe
And it hurts like a bad date
And the pressure is enough to make a back break
But to lead you on would be mad fake
So do your thing, baby
I’ll do mine
Don’t worry ‘bout me, girl
I’ll be fine
This is all my fault
I’m too kind
And a decent human being’s hard to find

[Hook]

I got dosed by you and,
Closer than most to you and,
What am I supposed to do,
Take it away,
I never had it anyway,
Take it away,
And everything will be okay…

In you a star is born and,
You cut a perfect form and,
Someone forever warm,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on…

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can’t hide,
All I ever wanted was your life…

Show love with no remorse and,
Climb on to your seahorse and,
This ride is right on course,
This is the way,
I wanted it to be with you,
This is the way,
I knew that it would be with you,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on…

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can’t hide,
All I ever wanted was your life…

I got dosed by you and,
Closer than most to you and,
What am I supposed to do,
Take it away,
I never had it anyway,
Take it away,
And everything will be okay…

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can’t hide,
All I ever wanted was your life…

Manteniendo la compostura
a duras penas
a penas esto dura
lo que dura el cuerpo
el cuerpo
se mantiene por dentro
se va contigo
sinsentido me acompaña
recogiendo cosas del suelo
lo que otros
no quisieron
ah ah ah ah
…
encuentro trozos de vida
trozos de cuento
trozos de plástico
platas y recuerdos
trozos de trozos
trozos en cuerpos cuerpos en trozos

ay cuerpo, cuerpecito mío
que caña te he metio
en estos años que llevo
de camino perdio… (2 veces)

que me has robao el corazón
y lo has tirao a una alcantarilla
que me has robao el corazón
y lo has tirao a una alcantarilla
y mira ahora,

mira este cuerpo, cuerpecito mío
que caña te he metio
en estos años que llevo
de camino perdio…
ay cuerpo, cuerpecito mio… (2 veces)

ah ah ah ah
…
y las palabras
ahora te delatan
lo que llevas dentro
aunque vengan disfrazás de lo contrario
ya no me puedes engañar
así que me voy
porque total
tomar mi propia decisión
es casi la única libertad real
que me queda
así que me voy
porque total
pa que quedarme
si tomar mi propia decisión
es casi la única libertad real
que me queda.

Tu que sigues sin llegar
que estas al otro lado de este mar
de gente que camina sin mirar,
Tu que sabe que estoy yo
contigo en esta desesperacion
por que seguimos separados
Tu a quien yo llamo tu
esa mujer que no conosco aun
que tanto extraño
ohhhhh tu
Tu que escuchas mi cancion
que has entendido esta declaracion
ven a mis brazos
que yo
no quiero seguir así
fingiendo que soy feliz
cuando te busco en otros labios

Por que has sido tu
El sueño
Del que me despierto en otras camas y no estas
Por que has sido tu
el cuento
de mil y una noche que no acaban de empezar
no serás mentira
no me vallas a fallar

Tu que sueles dibujar
corazoncitos de felicidad
por las esquinas de tu soledad
Tu que sabes mas de amor
que los poetas
y mas que el licor
que exhalan los abandonados
Tu a quien yo llamo tu
esa mujer que guarda en su baúl
mis buenos años
ohhhhh tu
tu que escuchas mi cancion
que has entendido esta declaracion
da el otro paso
ohhh amor
que yo no vivo sin ti
que quiero hacerte feliz
y me preocupa que no has llegado

Por que has sido tu
el sueno
del que me despierto en otras camas y no estas
Por que has sido tu
el cuento
de mil y una noche que no acaban de empezar
no serás mentira
no me vallas a fallar

Por que has sido tu
el sueño
del que me despierto en otras camas y no estas
Por que has sido tu
El cuento de mil y una noche que no acaban de empezar
No serás mentira
no me vallas a fallar

Please could you stop the noise, I’m trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What’s that? 
What’s that? 

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What’s that? 
What’s that? 

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy
You don’t remember
You don’t remember
Why don’t you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don’t you remember my name?
I guess he does

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height,
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That’s it, sir
You’re leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby’s head
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again

You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he’d cure your ills
But he didn’t and he never will
Oh, save your life
Because you’ve only got one


The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad


A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again
She left pain
So, please save your life
Because you’ve only got one


The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
Oh …
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
Oh …
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad 

Nature red in tooth and claw
I haven’t seemed to keep my powder dry
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

The second that I fell in love
with the handle of your revolver
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

I begged to you a second chance
a dried white rose from Bethlehem
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon

When I collapse and bury all the things unconsciously I hear
cackling in chloroform this spectre will ensnare
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

A braided strand from children’s manes
acquired with impunity
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

The things you say to me
are deaf in tongue
I always seem to hear it in your laughter

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon

You’ve never tasted heaven
stood the mother filled with grief
in the wake of monday mourning
finds the seventh day

If fate is your endearment
through pistil and through stem
in the wake of monday mourning
finds the seventh day

And on the seventh day
you will come to find
my prism is not colorblind
in death’s mosaic spirit
finds the seventh day

That’s why I repent
that’s why I go under
that’s why I repent for the night

In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon

[Chorus]
Once in love
Strong
Now it’s long, long gone
Because the pain, pain, pain
I remain all alone
Because I want you [Repeat: x2]

I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout you lately

Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted 2 your love, feel I need another dose
I know it’s a feeling
That should be long gone

Things seem to come up
When I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seem so long
Since I heard your voice
Where did the king go wrong?

Emotions that that they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls
I need your warm
The taste of your mouth
Girl I need your warm

Good food and love
I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer, so I’m a keep dreaming on
It’s kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn

[Chorus]

They say you don’t know know know 
What you got
Till what u got is gone
Yeah I write such and such yo a lot 
But the feelings not as strong
We were like two birds

That were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Someday’s I would try but wasn’t able to cry
I never been good at saying goodbye

I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over u, my god
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it’s only right that I got my heart robbed

The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it remind me of you
Take a look at the moon it remind me of you
Hope the stars and the gods 
Align me and you

[Chorus]

We do what we do
And we do what we live
I love this way

Cause I got it as a kid
Wit so much to give from it
I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smeared

My friends say it was a change for the better
But I say, girl u changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun
We can sang this together

(VERSE 1)
You bust lead? So do I.
Except mine impregnates the page giving birth to thoughts that unify You fuck little girls. I make love to women
My words uplift, yours are poisonous like venom
Im an M.C. Youre a rapper
Im as real as they come,
while half the guys you idolize are just actors
You run from commitment I remain loyal
You call women bitches. I call them queens because they’re royal You make rap songs I make soul music!
When god speaks through rhythm will you go to it?
I save my cash yours you blow through it
I say your childs special you say hes so stupid
Im pouring my heart out in everything written
You’re scared you’ll look soft heart remains hidden
On touchy subjects nerves I stay hittin’
I aint better than you I just think different
(HOOK)
Is the glass half full or half empty?
It’s based on your perspective quite simply
We’re the same and we’re not know what I’m saying listen
I aint better than you I just think different
(REPEAT HOOK)
(VERSE 2)
My fam run things, while you run your jewelry
My people pop lock you tough guys pop toolies
You rock gems I drop gems you Xerox copying
While I originate material to stimulate
Positive thought patterns when the chosen start gathering
We bar none, yo I got jokes you are one
Im out doing it while you talk about it
Im constantly in the mix, while you walk around it
You try, i do Im wise youre clueless.
I get the job done you fail and make excuses
Im a gentlemen youre behaviors abusive
Im patient… youre jumping the gun false start!
You’re caught up in dress codes I’ll shop at Walmart
Sucker Im all heart youre half hearted!
You suckas are vandals we graf artist!
Thought you had the last laugh but we laugh hardest.
(HOOK)
(VERSE 3)
You fall in love with body parts I connect mentally
With my female counterpart before we bond physically
Cats I chill with rap about revolution
While you rap about drug abuse and distribution
You wanna be like Mike well I wanna be me.
My queen’s hard to obtain while yours is easy
We both from Maryland but be reppin DC
We all front sometimes that’s how MCs be
My word is bond and yours is worthless
You’re mainstream I’m beneath the surface
I stay working hard while you’re hardly workin’
All you want is ‘money and you’re dick sucked’ are you certain?
I want a better world for our seeds to live in.
I put faith in myself not the system
Yo we trying to travel so why you making pit stops?
You cats is rap and I’m HipHop!
Hook
Fin

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
Cain’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin’, better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t a-get you
Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

Break it to me gently
Let me down the easy way
Make me feel that you still love me
If it’s just, if it’s just for one more day

Break it to me gently
So my tears, my tears won’t fall too fast
If you must go, then go slowly
Let me love you to the last

The love we shared for, oh, so long
Is such a big part of me
If you must take your love away
Take it gradually

Oh, oh, break it, break it to me gently
Give me time, oh, give me a little time
To ease the pain
Love me just a little longer
‘Cause I’ll never, never love again
‘Cause I’ll never love again
