She,
she came from the land of the cotton
Land
that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And
she worked and she slaved so hard
A big
old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh,
but she sure could sing
Oh,
she sure could sing
Then He looked down and He took a little pity
The
whole town swore He decided
He'd
help her some
And
He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For
deep inside His heart He knew
She
was the only one
Oh
but she sure could sing
Yea,
she sure could sing
She had faith, she had believing
She
led all the people together in singing
And
she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah.
Oh hallelujah
They
use to walk singing songs by the river
Even
when she knew for sure
She
had to go away
And
she never knew what her life had to give her
And
never had to worry about it
For
one single day
My
but she sure could sing
Oh
yes, sure could sing
She had faith, she had believing
Led
all the people together in singing
And
she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah.
Oh hallelujah
She,
she came from the land of the cotton
Land
that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And
she worked and she slaved so hard
A big
old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh,
but she sure could sing
My,
she sure could sing
Oh,
but she sure could sing
Oh, but she sure could sing.

(Chorus)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
Yeah, It's been a ride...
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper
Before I lay me
But you won't take this thing out these words
before I say me
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me
from causing mayhem
When I say me or do something
I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think?
I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up,
If a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be,
Without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me
I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts
Don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last
Relapse album he's still shit and
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game,
Like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse,
Forget the earth he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole
universe
(Chorus)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit,
And cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words
In the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings,
Instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again,
I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, that last Relapse Cd was
"ehhhh"
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack Blaow
Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
This fucking black cloud's still follow's me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
(Chorus)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
It was my decision to keep it clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me,
You helped see me through
And don't even realize what you did,
Believe me you
I been through the ringer,
But they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye,
I feel like the king of…
My world, haters can make
Like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on,
I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilities
As a father
So I solemnly swear to
Always treat this roof like my
Daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle lonely
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the
club
Or a corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and
I'm not
(Chorus)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

GENRE: POP
YEAR: 2013
"Wrecking Ball" é uma canção da cantora estadunidense
Miley Cyrus, gravada para seu quarto álbum de estúdio Bangerz. Escrita por
Maureen Anne McDonald (MoZella), Stephan Moccio, Sacha Skarbek, Lukasz Gottwald
e Henry Russell Walter, sua produção ficou a cargo dos dois últimos sob os
nomes artísticos de Dr. Luke e Cirkut. Musicalmente, é classificada como uma balada
do gênero estilístico pop, e sua letra discute a deterioração de um
relacionamento; houve grandes especulações de que a música foi inspirada pelo
ex-noivo da artista, Liam Hemsworth. A canção foi originalmente escrita com Beyoncé
em mente antes de ser oferecida para Miley. O tema foi lançado em 25 de agosto
de 2013 através da RCA Records como o segundo single de Bangerz, nos formatos
de CD single e download digital.
Bangerz é o quarto álbum de estúdio da artista musical estadunidense
Miley Cyrus. O seu lançamento ocorreu em 4 de outubro de 2013, através da RCA
Records. O material continua a retratar uma imagem mais provocativa de Cyrus,
seguindo a mesma linha de Can't Be Tamed. O disco possui uma sonoridade
inspirada por gêneros urbanos como o dance e o hip hop. Liricamente, as faixas
referem-se ao amor e a festas, e no caso de canções como "We Can't
Stop" e "Do My Thang", à independência. Descrito por Cyrus como
um "sujo hip hop sulista", Bangerz apresenta uma mudança musical
de projetos anteriores da artista, de cujos materiais disse estar
"desconectada".
We clawed, we chained, our
hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under
your spell and now
A love no one could deny
Don’t you ever say I just
walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running
for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking
ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break
your walls
All you ever did was wreck
me
Yeah you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the
sky
And now, you’re not coming
down
It slowly turned, you let
me burn
And now, we’re ashes on the
ground
Don’t you ever say I just
walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running
for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking
ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break
your walls
All you ever did was wreak
me
I came in like a wrecking
ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes
and swung
Left me crouching in a
blazing fall
All you ever did was break
me
Yeah you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a
war
I just wanted you to let me
in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you
in
I never meant to start a
war
I just wanted you to let me
in
I guess I should’ve let you
in
Don’t you ever say I just
walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking
ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break
your walls
All you ever did was wreak
me
I came in like a wrecking
ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes
and swung
Left me crouching in a
blaze and fall
All you ever did was wreak
me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

Cheek to Cheek é uma canção escrita por Irving
Berlin para o filme de 1935 "Top Hat", que foi imortalizada com a cena em que Fred
Astaire e Ginger Rogers dançam ao som dos versos cantados pelo
próprio Astaire.
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that
I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the
happiness I seek
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung
around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a
gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together
dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a
mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill
(boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half
as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about
you
Will carry me through...
(Right up) To heaven, I'm
in heaven
And my heart beats so that
I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the
happiness I seek
When we're out together
dancing, out together dancing(swinging)
