Nothing More - Pete Rock

In the tunnels of life We hold our breath; we close our eyes Stiff as a board until the other side We fill our lungs and we pray for light We fill our lungs and we pray for light I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Always smile and pretend We wanna give up; we wanna give in When hopelessness is content, yeah We feel our world's caving in We feel our world's caving in, yeah I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Like this, No We are the night; we are the dream We are everything we need Just breathe Just breathe We got the strength down to the bone We got the grip that shapes the mold We make our own We make our own It's all risk Don't ever regret Taking every chance we get to make our own To make our own, yeah I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Like this, No I gasp for air It's getting thin I'm blacking out And shedding skin As I transform I believe I feel the light lifting me Just breathe Just breathe Just breathe

Lie down, come to Spirits come through Swim up to my head Make old things new It's a little bit heavenly A little bit sick I don't feel quite like myself I've been playing with my health In my head too many days In a room I can't escape Turning into someone else It's killing me Something's in the way Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed A little bit heavenly A little bit sick And the side effects of shit I've stepped in Side effects of truth I'm left with A spinning room I can't escape There has to be another way I'm still stuck inside myself It's killing me Something's in the way Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed A little bit heavenly A little bit sick Spirits come through Make old things new Spirits fool you Lie down, see through Spirits fool you Slip right through your hands Old tricks turn you It's a little bit make-believe A little bit true Weeds in the garden Snakes in the soul Every day passing They grow, they grow And they grow The smoke in my lungs The fire on my tongue Spirits make me warm When my heart is not enough When it gets so numb It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little unclear (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little sincere (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little unclear (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) I don't feel quite like myself Turning into someone else It's killing me Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed Spirits come through Make old things new Spirits fool you Spirits fool you

Down in the gutter and looking for trouble Or something to that effect And there she was, a metal cross Ironically 'round the neck And then she kissed me on the lips And a fever came without a warning Said give me a holla And then I will follow you down into the dark And I was left in the depths Surrounding her feral heart Oh, there's just something about the sun That seems so very, very boring What did you think when you made me this way? What did you think when you love me this way? Hold me so close when we get to the gates And we'll be together forever and ever and more If you desire then you be my fire and I'll be your gasoline I'm getting sick of all the kicks this city is selling me And she said: "Hey, let's get away and I'll be your new religion, baby" What did you think when you made me this way? What did you think when you love me this way? Hold me so close when we get to the gates And we'll be together forever and ever and more (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) (Hold me close, smother me) Hold me close My little Draculove Wrap your arms around me My Draculove My Draculove What did you think when you made me this way? What did you think when you love me this way? Hold me so close when we get to the gates And we'll be together forever and ever and more

Mmmm I love it when you play it like that Come on... Play Sittin' here alone I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned Left my family Left my home I worked my fingers to the bone And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned And I was havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight yeah Money and success I don't complain about the stress I wanted this and now it's here So I don't bitch And I swear that time's a trick It disappears in oh so quick Man I was just sixteen And now I'm starin' at thirty-six But I'm still havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes But one day you're gonna say I saw the light And now headin' for the hill And I just cannot wait until My children grow up to have children of their own And I'll be telling them about The times I turned the party out And how I stood against an army all alone Drinkin' wine and stayin' high And realized it couldn't last And how I turned myself around And went down another path And the signs we must observe When life's changes do occur But most of all I'll tell them Just how proud I am of them And always have a good time It's all love and good times Let's all have a good time Yeah Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight
