Estella (From "Great Expectations") - Patrick Doyle

"HA HA" "What you gonna do, come back back, again?" *People cheers* (Akil) Uh, no doubt, it took ten years, for me to pressure cook my fears Now, my front line rhymes moving up from the rear My dream slash career appeared ever so clear Now I'm able to touch, smell, see, speak, and hear My fans cheer, *people cheers* our time is finally here The past depart the present cause the future is near Anticipation, magnified my motivation Direct my energy to touch nations Been entertaining since niggas was really banging Dancing at the old folks parties, pancaking I've been waiting for my time to shine From Catholic school to? John Mid? junior high From? to rocking at the Good Life (unggh) We paid the price to keep rhyming and rip it on the mic Yo, cause if you only knew what we been through The struggle and the pain to maintain and continue Chorus: Great expectations, on our committee Unified relations We rebel our Rhythm through tribulations And treble and bass the situation with dedication (Charli 2na) Yo, go get your ticket, your seats, snacks, and beverages While we get wicked all in your brain's cracks and crevices Servicing bulletins to you critical puritans Who be shouting at my vicinity doubting my capability (Expect) no defeat, my whole fleet be scorching Keep across your vision blurred from heat distortion The proportions better take precaution While we shake the portion fakes are lost in, never flossing (The antidote for your mood) We sloppy doping and I'm hoping What I wrote get you open like a Fallopian Tube In my crew we include brothers who worthy Rebels indeed, J's from LA, I'm from Chi, He's from Jersey, ever thirsty for success Plus never vexed, flipping for Allah cause he blessed us With the talent, to make Jurassic your next guest Rocking since the '84 Fresh Fest, yes Chorus: Great expectations, on our committee unified relations We rebel our rhythm through tribulations And treble and bass the situation with dedication (Repeat 2x) (Marc 7even) Ayo my story starts in the NJ state And gets deep like a movie Bruce and Demi make I moved to the land of sand and ill earthquakes I didn't know this was the place I'd get my piece of the cake Or the piece of the pie, U-N-I-T-Y Every Thursday night at the Life we kept it tight That's right, that's where we dwelled and the rhythm rebelled We a blast from the past like the shotgun shells No a macho males with raps about a beer (Our mission is to persevere) So haters play the rear We toured the stratosphere from here to London Square You swear you're prepared to diss what we have here (Indeed) Time ticks as rapid rhymes rip Earth and time split in time to find it's Just another manic Monday, and one day We'll shine, too, so it's true, when my crew say Chorus: Great expectations, on our committee unified relations We rebel our rhythm through tribulations And treble and bass the situation with dedication (Zaakir) Yo, whether you love to hate it, if it's in or outdated If I've been overrated or maybe your most favorite You expect me still to write my verse on time And I expect you not to front when you hear my rhyme Don't expect me to smile cause it's in good taste I know cats that's no mistake smiling in my face And don't expect to try and guess if I'm mad or not Or if I'm cold or hot, you would know if not And don't expect me to come and just bite my tongue It's kind of hard to forget what some brothers have done But my mother always said you can forgive and forget And expect that most promises won't be kept I guess I gave credit where it wasn't deserved To brothers must have preferred to not keep they word The bigger the burden, the bigger the uncertain No explanation for my creation, Great Expectation

Mary, this station is playing every sad song. I remember like we were alive. I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls. In a prison cell, where we spent those nights. And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. Licking young boys blood from her claws. And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew. Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb. My heart's like a wound. I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife. Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life. Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life. Better safe than making the party. And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about Estella. Great expectations, we had the greatest expectations. I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife. Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life. Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? It's funny how the night moves. Humming a song from 1962. We were always waiting... always waiting. We were always waiting for something to happen. I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife. Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life. Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Estella, Estella, I'm comin' to life Meltin' in my heart, gettin' high off your own supply I understand, we are only friends But your eyes keep tellin' me to take you in Oh, when you call, I get the faith Oh, in your room Why don't we take a chance? Saw on your lips, then we come alive I'm knockin' on every piece of wood I don't wanna fake it 'til I make it I don't need to see it to believe it I don't need to touch it, I can taste it All the shame feels the same when the pain hits I just died, at the thought of being alive At the same time as you, ooh, ooh Estella (Estella), I'm jealous (jealous), no indecision (indecision) This time (this time), I want it all (I want it all) I love you too much, I hate myself (I hate myself) Enough, for the both of us Unstow your arms, this war's a waste Maybe shoot your arrow this way? My scars of love, I'll honor great Some live, some die but we will stay In the back of my head, in the back of my head In the back of my head, in the back of head Back of my head, in the back of my head In the back of my head, in the I don't wanna fake it 'til I make it I don't need to see it to believe it I don't need to touch it, I can taste it All the shame feels the same when the pain hits I just died, at the thought of being alive At the same time as you, ooh, ooh
