Hear ye, hear ye, from far and near The one they call the Big Daddy Kane is here To deliver a message to everyone everywhere So listen up party people cause this you should hear It's a story of a far-away atmosphere That you will find very rare and far beyond compare All is sincere and rather debonair So let's all gather around, because... (x4) What I discovered may just only seem As something that you find in your wildest dream But! on the real tip, you will see I'm not playing, what I'm saying is reality There is a place people live with joy That the next man cannot come along and destroy No one faces problems, no one says sorry And war ain't nothing but a game on Atari This message also applies to other nations Like Africa for instance, where there's starvation But if you come with me, you're sure to see Ethiopians can eat in Red Lobster for free And people that you saw before that were poor Will never ever see the situation no more Cause in this world everyone's a millionaire Are you sick? And what the hell is welfare? Fashions are smashing for all to flaunt And we can get anything that we want So don't think you can't afford expensive design Because fresh Gucci wear is only $5.99 So come ye all and attend this affair As we journey to the promised land, and...

Even if there's nowhere left to go I'll take you there, I'll take you there And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn I'll take you there Always be there Please take me there I've watched myself struggle with this fear of falling down Cuz I've seen a silhouette of me who is this stranger I've become Who is this man that I've become? Even if there's nowhere left to go I'll take you there I'll take you there And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn I'll take you there Always be there Please take me there I lost myself I questioned if I had the strength to move Cuz I get up and then I fall back down I look up and there's nobody around It's quiet and I hate the sound So quiet and I hate the sound How could I let myself come to this? I'll take one more drink and then I'll be dismissed I'm left to walk this world alone I like it better on my own For all the things I've done Who is this man that I've become? Even if there's nowhere left to go I'll take you there I'll take you there And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn I'll take you there Always be there Please take me there This heart of mine Is all for it, don't be so ingnorant I wanna be Your very best intentions Even if there's nowhere left to go I'll take you there I'll take you there And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn I'll take you there Always be there Please take me there Even if there's nowhere left to go I'll take you there I'll take you there And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn I'll take you there Always be there Please take me there

Jenny had the doors off The radio loud The night was too cold for t-shirts But too late now There's nothing like freedom 16 Years old Driving 'til the sky starts turning gold I sang to myself Just because I liked the sound There were no crowds So why do I need one now? Do I need one now? I wanna run through a field Just to feel the wind in my hair I wanna drive through the night 'Cause I feel like going somewhere I don't need a reason I don't need permission 'Cause I don't care So if you wanna take a ride Take my hand and I'll take you there Sneaking onto beaches Fires at night Really too cold to swim But I guess we had to try Should've brought a blanket But your arms are enough Waking up for work's looking pretty tough Laughing because I had nothing figured out There was no plan So why do I need one now? Do I need one now? I wanna run through a field Just to feel the wind in my hair I wanna drive through the night 'Cause I feel like going somewhere I don't need a reason I don't need permission 'Cause I don't care So if you wanna take a ride Take my hand and I'll take you there I sang to myself Just because I liked the sound There were no crowds So why do I need one now? I don't need one now I wanna run through a field Just to feel the wind in my hair I wanna drive through the night 'Cause I feel like going somewhere I don't need a reason I don't need permission 'Cause I don't care So if you wanna take a ride Take my hand and I'll take you there

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree. Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me. Did your lady friend leave the nest again? That is very sad, makes me feel so bad. You can fly away, in the sky away. You're more lucky than me. I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today. They're all the same those pretty girls. Take tenderness, then they fly away. Yellow bird, yellow bird. Did your lady friend leave the nest again? That is very sad, makes me feel so bad. You can fly away, in the sky away. You're more lucky than me. Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you. But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit Nothing I can do. Yellow bird, yellow bird.
