Burying my troubles In another glass of wine Swallowing my worries away Bear in mind tomorrow Is another day of sorrow That only makes me think of yesterday So I'm burying my troubles In another cup of gin Throwing down like water in the road Running over memories Falling down upon my knees And begging him to lift this heavy load Oh still I know I will find My happiness at last Oh Well Somewhere in the bottom of a bottle Or a stone cold glass Sleeping through the hours Of a sunny summer day Hiding from the blinding shades of light Burying my eyes Breathing deep and heavy sighs For all the things in life that ain't going right Still I know I will find my Happiness at last Oh and Somewhere in the bottom of a bottle Or a stone cold glass Still I know I will find My happiness at last Oh and a Somewhere in a bottle On the bottom Or a stone cold glass

Some people feel it all around them Others feel it inside Some people spend a lifetime searching Fot the rhytm denied Life's music can make you happy Life's music can make you want to cry Don't ask me why It's another song It belongs to me It's another song It"s my melody You can let troubles strum on your heartstrings Or let them blow in the wind I'll write another happy love song When I feel it again Life's music can take you real low Life's music can take you up real high Don't ask me why It's not another song It belongs to me It's not another song It's my melody (Melody, melody, melody) Ooh ... (Melody, melody, melody) Ooh ... It's not another song It belongs to me It's not another song It's my melody Ooh ... You can say what you wanna say I'm gonna live my life my way It belongs to me Ooh ... It's my melody Ooh, iy belongs to me It's my melody, ooh ...

This is poetry in motion Try to catch on, stay close to the host And MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion Hit spots soothin, can't stop movin Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin When I detain it's a brainstorm Never the same form, every brain I rained on is warm Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC's Could do you justice, but you can't touch this Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed I'm universal and much more merciful So versatile with the style it's reversable I get away even if I say a curse or two First, let me bust another verse for you Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit You don't want no kind of conflict Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip Everything I said flows since my intro I plant a thought extend and then grow Holdin my pen tightly it might be Controversy at first when I write the Chords of research don't just take it for granted When I'm gone my mind remains a planet If I keep buildin, and teach the children So when they read in between the lines it's filled in I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate Till I'm deep awake, but not asleep At the same time risin and advertisin What is true, keep advised and you can stay wise And I'm untouchable Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme My culture's makin me stronger, mentally Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could be Labelled as art placed in a museum Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled with Nothin illiterate it's facts I build with My mind's untouchable which means intangible Contents never dense it's understandable I study life so I can live it the right way No time to hear what another brother might say Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to Put message on records that's graced with hard bass Smugglin microphones, this ain't Scarface Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk And don't try to Escape From New York Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em I hear the music clear as I get near The hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater Take a step back when I rap I step up to you... I'm untouchable Put on my thinking cap pump the track Test your reflex relax but in contact You fold and lose control so hold your partner closer You're supposed to keep your composure But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype It's like nitro opponents get petro Remember the trademark left by the R That's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardest In effect, you could die-tect the imposter Takin my props, Rakim is still proper I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it Everything I say, coincide with the topic Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured Inside my brain it's all manufactured As we go deeper it's hard to find Don't even think about it, cause you can't read my mind It's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined In the mind with some kind of idea for The style I'm advertisin what is true Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind Is untouchable
