Turn This Mutha Out - MC Hammer

Can someone turn out the lights? I'm not so sure everybody's seeing right Can someone turn out the lights? I'm not so sure everybody's seeing right Even in the way you try We can see that your make up was running late last night Has it been a while? Since you laid beside each other and watched the walls fall down It's just a smiling crime Everybody's got a little ugly hanging around So why don't you come down? Sometimes you need a friend so you can see it right In the best of times In the best of times In the best of times Doesn't mean that you can't change your mind Meant the world to me that you took the time So we rise So we rise So we rise Into the arms of a gentle breeze So we rise And carry each other with some love sometimes So we rise Don't you know we were all born a little blind? So we rise Sometimes you need a friend so you can see it right So we rise Don't you know? It's just the skin we were born in So we rise So we rise

[Jurassic 5] Yo, we are no superstars Who wanna be large and forget who we are Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars No matter how bright we shine we're far from being stars Cause stars fall, and disintigrate before they hit the Asfalt, they incinerate cause we came Not to destroy the law but to fulfill For those who appreciate those with skills And fresh windmills, and graf that kills What is a DJ without the scratch to build?

Entertainers labeled soft The place where people come to lose their train of thought [Zaakir] Despite the claims of what LA is and what it ain't The picture the city paints that overexaggerates Within the circus, if you're filling this service purpose Some feel it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous And make you injure, and get up out of here nigga Cause LA never considered for those that need baby sitters This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds Some looking for better gigs or fiending to make it big It's the only place where stars are born And we are the only ones that can't be worn Out, by any place regardless of the cost Cause brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get lost cause [Jurassic 5] Yo, we are no superstars Who wanna be large and forget who we are Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars No matter how bright we shine we're far from being stars Cause stars fall, and disintigrate before they hit the Asfalt, they incinerate cause we came Not to destroy the law but to fulfill For those who appreciate those with skills And..., and...
