If I Were a Bell (feat. John Coltrane) - Miles Davis

Early morning whispers to me I was taken unaware I remember sunlight creepin' In the window over there The day had promised true love, smiles awaken as we rise Our golden slumbers long gone only you got in my eyes And now I'll never be the same 'cause you made me over If I were a bell, baby, I would ring Tell the whole world that you are my everything If I were a bell, baby, you would know That you are my only lover and it's wonderful If I were a bell Baby, I would ring each day for you Early morning it talks to me I was taken by surprise I remember fingers floating As you held me hypnotized The day had promised true love, smiles awaken as we share Our golden slumbers long gone only you and I were there And now, honey, I'm not the same 'Cause you made a brand new me, yes If I were a bell, baby, I would ring Tell the whole world that you are my everything If I were a bell, baby, you would know That you are my only lover and it's wonderful If I were a bell, baby I would ring from the hilltops Ring from each and every mountainside, yes, oh If I were a bell baby, I would ring through every valley Tell the whole world 'bout these tears of joy I cry If I were your bell baby, I would ring each day for you And no one could ever tell me what to think, to feel, to say or do Listen, sugar I'm gonna sing about you one more time If I were a bell, baby, I would ring (If I were a bell, baby, I) Tell the whole world that you are my everything If I were a bell, baby, you would know (If I were a bell, baby, only you would know) That you are my only lover and it's wonderful If I were a bell Baby, I would ring each day for you Just for you I guess that's not mature thing for me to say, baby I'm just gonna let the bells talk for me As the flicker turns to flame and passion rises hot I have no choice but to carry the choice but to carry a torch Come here, honey Let me make it all right, I'm gonna ring for you, baby You know the part (Baby) And it's from the heart (It's from the heart) It's from my soul (From my soul) I ring for you (I ring for you, oh) Oh, just for you (Just for you) Just for you (Just, just) Oh, baby, I still do (Tell the world I'm ringin' for my baby, I'm ringin' for you)

Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we're cosy and clingin' Well sir, all I can say, is if I were a bell I'd be ringin' From the moment we kissed tonight, that's the way I've just gotta behave Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light or if I were a banner I'd wave Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing Well sir, all I can say is if gate I'd be swinging And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding Ask me how do I feel, from this chemistry lesson I'm learning Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning Yes, I knew my morale would crack, from the wonderful way that you looked Boy, if I were a duck, I'd quack, or if I were a goose, I'd be cooked Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we're fondly caressing Pal, if I were a salad, I know I'd be splashing my dressing Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding

If I were a fish and you caught me You'd say "Look at that fish" Shimmering in the sun Such a rare one Can't believe that you caught one If I were a fish and you caught me You'd say look at that fish Heaviest in the sea You'd win first prize If you caught me Why's everybody on the internet so mean? Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen? If I was scrolling through and I saw me Flopping around and singing my song I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along If I were a rock you would pick me up And say that's a nice rock Skippiest on the lake Plop, plop, plop I'm the perfect shape And if I were a sock you would put me on And say "That's a nice sock" Happiest as a pair I found you now I'm not scared Why's everybody on the internet so mean? Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen? If I was scrolling through and I saw me Flopping around and singing my song I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along How lucky are we? Of all the fish in the sea? You get to be you And I get to be me Just let 'em be mean We're as free as can be To be the you-est of you And the me-ist of me If I were a fish Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo If I were a fish Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo If I were a fish Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo If I were a fish Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day Adolescence working for small pay World so little he could never leave his block His home bullet riddled so he always need his Glock He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smoking Young wasted minds fiending on dimes, coking Forgot kids quick to break rules and known to make fools Out of many, down the streets we more safe than school There's no diploma that can break you from the coma Of a bloody war in the country, the youth hungry On the corner hyenas amongst me Yapping about the stories they be hearing, always swearing Can't even spell the shit that he be wearing Caught up in the silk web of material Superficial stains ya brain tissue, that's the issue The young is lost at their own cost, dreaming Screaming how we never hold positions, that's the meaning Mothers of murder victims share the same grief The elderly shake their head in disbelief And no relief came till I aimed And blast one shot and left my name... the GZA Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks On torn down blocks, drug spots set up their shops And cops watch innocent niggas roaming flocks Romanism in tops, papers and knots Churches and liquor stores on every corner plot To get money knots some funny niggas act like They could pop Glocks and those who can't cop Sisters giving up ass a lot, brothers giving up cash a lot Babies struggling to become someone because their parent's not Just another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settle When the devils uncivil society and die free With double 'W' followed by J-D around the necks and wrists The God is now a dog, the Earth is called a bitch And all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness to push a Lexus Ice on everything from rings and bracelets to the necklaces Children molested within these pest infested buildings Seeds uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilings Is peeling off, but all I see is lost black babies calling "Please somebody save me, please somebody save me" Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Just another... just another... victim of the ghetto

Waves crashing on her feet Standing in some rolled up jeans Making tracks in the sand It's like she's living in a photograph But disappearing silouhette Flip flop in her hands And every kiss is burnt and hot I can't let them go to waste Let's say the night is all that we've got And I'm ready for the chase We can be sun downers, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging lets keep this dream awake Let's go out into the AM But tonight let's be some sun downers (sun downers) Blue gives into the black Red lips just like a match That sets me on fire While the whole falls asleep Every look that you're giving me Is taking me higher And every kiss is burnt and hot I can't let them go to waste And once we start, we can't stop Like 80 with no brakes We can be sun downers, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging, lets keep this dream awake Let's go out into the AM But tonight let's be some sun downers (sun downers) We can be the only two up When they close down this town Lets just live it up til it comes back around We can be sundowners We can be come unwounders Sundowners, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging, lets keep this dream awake Let's go out until the AM But tonight let's be some sundowners Let's just be some come unwounders We can be some play it louders Gotta start sundowners (Yeah) Sundowners Sundowners Let's just be some sundowners

I'm a bad man James Dean, kinda Steve McQueen Straight out the bad lanes I rolled in and rained down Like a storm cloud or a heat wave Made you stay undercover where it's safe Don't give a damn about the plans you made We're staying in the bed all day Cause I'm selfish Restless like a river, can't help it I'm taking what you give me but I still want more I still want more Cause I'm selfish Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you Have you seen yourself in a full-length mirror Spinning around lately I'd lie, cheat, and steal Feel the sweet scent overtake me But the Lord sent an angel to save me So he can't blame me When my hands get a mind of their own Girl, if they get ahold of you, I ain't never letting go Cause I'm selfish Restless like a river, can't help it I'm taking what you give me but I still want more I still want more Cause I'm selfish Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you Oh, so selfish for you I still want more I still want more I still want more I still want more Cause I'm selfish Restless like a river, can't help it I'm taking what you give me but I still want more I still want more Cause I'm selfish Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you Still want more I still want more I still want more I still want more I'm selfish for you
