Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

It started with a low light

Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed

And then they took my blood type

It left a strange impression in my head

You know that I was hoping

That I could leave this star-crossed world behind

But when they cut me open

I guess that changed my mind

And you know I might

Have just flown too far from the floor this time

'Cause they're calling me by my name

And the zipping white light beams

Disregarding bombs and satellites

And that was the turning point,

That was one lonely night

The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"

The dream maker's gonna make you mad

The spaceman says, "everybody look down"

It's all in your mind

Well, now I'm back at home and

I'm looking forward to this life I live

You know it's gonna haunt me

So hesitation to this life I give

You think you might cross over

You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

You better look it over

Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine

But I hear those voices at night

Sometimes that justify my claim

And the public don't dwell on my transmission

Cause it wasn't televised

But it was the turning point

Oh what a lonely night

The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"

The dream maker's gonna make you mad

The spaceman says, "everybody look down"

It's all in your mind

The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"

The dream maker's gonna make you mad

The spaceman says, "everybody look down"

It's all in your mind

My global position systems are vocally addressed

They say the nile used to run from east to west

They say the nile used to run from east to west

I'm fine

But I hear those voices at night

Sometimes

The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"

The dream maker's gonna make you mad

The spaceman says, "everybody look down"

It's all in your mind

The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"

The dream maker's gonna make you mad

The spaceman says, "everybody look down"

It's all in your mind

It's all in my mind

It's all in my mind.

CHANGES

2PAC & TALENT

SONGWRITERS: TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR; BRUCE RANDALL HORNSBY & DEON EVANS

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: CHANGES

LABEL: JIVE RECORDS

GENRE: HIP HOP

YEAR: 1998

"Changes" is a hip hop song by 2Pac featuring Talent. The song makes references to the war on drugs, the treatment of black people by the police, racism (explicitly the reconciliation between the black and white races in America), the perpetuation of poverty and its accompanying vicious-cycle value system in urban African American culture, and the difficulties of life in the ghetto.

[2Pac:]

I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself:

"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"

I'm tired of being poor and, even worse, I'm black

My stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro

Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero

"Give the crack to the kids: who the hell cares?

One less hungry mouth on the welfare!"

First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers

Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other

"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said

Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead

I got love for my brother

But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other

We gotta start making changes

Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers

And that's how it's supposed to be

How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids

But things change... and that's the way it is

[Talent:]

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

[2Pac:]

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We under, I wonder what it takes to make this

One better place, let's erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right

'Cause both Black and White are smoking crack tonight

And the only time we chill is when we kill each other

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And although it seems heaven-sent

We ain't ready to see a black president

It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact:

The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

But some things will never change

Try to show another way, but you staying in the dope game

Now tell me, what's a mother to do?

Being real don't appeal to the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way

"I made a G today," but you made it in a sleazy way

Selling crack to the kids

"I gotta get paid!", well hey, but that's the way it is

[Talent:]

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

[2Pac talking:]

We gotta make a change

It's time for us as a people to start making some changes

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

And let's change the way we treat each other

You see the old way wasn't working

So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive

[2Pac:]

And still I see no changes

Can't a brother get a little peace?

It's war on the streets and a war in the Middle East

Instead of war on poverty

They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me

And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do

But now I'm back with the facts giving it back to you

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up

Crack you up and pimp-smack you up

You gotta learn to hold your own

They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone

But tell the cops they can't touch this

I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this

That's the sound of my tool

You say it ain't cool, my mama didn't raise no fool

And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped

And I never get to lay back

'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback

Some buck that I roughed up way back

Coming back after all these years

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!" That's the way it is

[Talent:]

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

(You're my brother, you're my sister)

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

Aww yeah

[2Pac:]

Some things'll never change.

LABEL: EMI RECORDS

GENRE: HEAVY METAL

YEAR: 1982

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" is a song written by Steve Harris for the 1982 Iron Maiden album The Number of the Beast. It has been acclaimed as one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time.

The 1993 live single is taken from the 1993 album A Real Dead One. The song was recorded at Moscow's Olympic Arena on 4 June 1993 during the Real Live Tour. Recordings from the same tour and its predecessor, 1992's Fear of the Dark Tour, made up the single's B-sides. It is the band's last single to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson until 2000's "The Wicker Man".

Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band's discography has grown to thirty-eight albums, including sixteen studio albums, twelve live albums, four EPs, and seven compilations.

Pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal, Iron Maiden achieved initial success during the early 1980s. After several line-up changes, the band went on to release a series of UK and US platinum and gold albums, including 1982's The Number of the Beast, 1983's Piece of Mind, 1984's Powerslave, 1985's live release Live After Death, 1986's Somewhere in Time and 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Since the return of lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999, the band have undergone a resurgence in popularity, with their 2010 studio offering, The Final Frontier, peaking at No.1 in 28 countries and receiving widespread critical acclaim. Their sixteenth studio album, The Book of Souls, was released on 4 September 2015 to similar success.

I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime

Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time

'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole

The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites

I take a look through the bars at the last sights

Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be that there's some sort of error

Hard to stop the surmounting terror

Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming

It's not so easy to stop from screaming

But words escape me when I try to speak

Tears flow but why am I crying

After all I'm not afraid of dying

Don't I believe that there never is an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard

Somebody cries from a cell: God be with you

If there's a god then why has he let me go?

As I walk all my life drifts before me

Though the end is near I'm still not sorry

Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on

Please don't worry now that I have gone

I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand

Maybe then you'll begin to understand

Life down here is just a strange illusion

Hallowed be thy name.

Baby, are you down?

Down, down

Even if the sky is fallin' down

Down, down

You ought to know

Tonight is the night to let it go

Put on a show

I wanna see how you lose control

So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away

So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape

So, baby, don't worry

You are my only

You won't be lonely

Even if the sky is falling down

You'll be my only

No need to worry

Baby, are you down?

Down, down

Baby, are you down?

Down, down

Even if the sky is falling down

Just let it be

Come on and bring your body next to me

I'll take you away

Turn this place into our private getaway

So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away

So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape

So why don't we run away

Baby, don't worry

You are my only

You won't be lonely

Even if the sky is falling down

You'll be my only

No need to worry

Baby, are you down?

Down, down

Baby, are you down?

Down, down

You're down

Even if the sky is falling down

[Lil Wayne:]

Down like she's suppose to be

She gets down low for me

Down like her temperature

'Cause to me she's zero degree

She's cold, over-freeze

I got that girl from overseas

Now she's my Miss America

Now can I be her soldier, please?

I'm fighting for this girl

On the battlefield of love

Don't it look like baby Cupid

Sending arrows from above?

Don't you ever leave the side of me

And definitely, not probably

And honestly

I'm down like the economy

Baby, don't worry

You are my only

You won't be lonely

Even if the sky is falling down

You'll be my only

No need to worry

Baby, are you down

(the sky is falling down)

Down, down

Baby, are you down

Down, down

(the sky is falling down)

Even if the sky is falling down

And the sky is falling down.
