WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL: lyrics by madonna

What It feels Like For A Girl
lyrics by MADONNA
[Spoken:]
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting

Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
What it feels like for a girl

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world 

THE SHOW GOES ON: lyrics by lupe fiasco

"The Show Goes On"

by LUPE FIASCO


[Chorus x2:]
Alright, already the show goes on
all night, till the morning we dream so long
anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up
just remember when you come up
the show goes on!

[Verse 1:]
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had
Don’t that shit that make you mad
They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,
and put whips up on your back,
they be lying through they teeth
hope you slip up off your path
I don’t switch up I just laugh
put my kicks up on they desk
unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass
see that’s how that Chi-Town made me
That’s how my daddy raised me
that glittering may not be gold, don’t let no body play me
if you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up
L-U-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust
so even if they ban us they’ll never slow my plans up!

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
One in the air for the people that ain’t here
Two in the air for the father that’s there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there
None for the niggas trying to hold them back
Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids thats living in the ghetto that the niggas holdin back that the World is theirs!
Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy
Terrified of the World
Now I’m on a World tour
I will give up everything, even start a world war
for these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy
tell em’ look at me, boy!
I hope your son don’t have a gun and never be a D-boy

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
So no matter what you been through
no matter what you into
no matter what you see when you look outside your window
brown grass or green grass
picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down
you just lift your arms higher
raise em till’ your arms tired
Let em’ know you’re there
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere
Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home
even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on!

[Chorus x2] 

WORDS I NEVER SAID: lupe fiasco at work...

"Words I Never Said"
(feat. Skylar Grey)

[Skylar Grey]
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco]
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups
Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust
You get it then they move it so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the fucks”
Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news
And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people.

[Skylar Grey]
It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 2]
Now you can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better than we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, wheres that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam!
And you are not observant
And you are not a muslim
Israel don’t take my side cause look how far you’ve pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the Kush went
Complain about the liquor store but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when’d you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac ain't gone make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon make it halt
If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor
Pills with million side effects
Take em when the pains felt
Wash them down with Diet soda!
Killin off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the World
Would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss a payment
They can take your home away!

[Skylar Grey]
It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said, never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 3]
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through

[Skylar Grey]
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said 

JUDAS BABY: a monsterfamily anthem

jesus cristo
son of god
carpenter boy
skin of bronze

comrade to the poor
walked with whores
born this way baby
a monster prophet adored





palestinian rebel
roman occupation
anarchist devil
agent of liberation

sword of revolution
in jewish hands
semitic roots
submerged in arab land

intifadic crusader
jihadic defender
lover and fighter
prohomo uniter

judas baby
he was a disciple
jesus his lover
prophet and pupil

the man was scorned
when jesus got bored
jealous enraged
he turned on his lord

in the end he appealed
to the roman vassals
sold jesus to the cross
a crucifiction
gave in to the boss
a brutal addiction

sickness breeds
when passion ends
love and hate
fast fucking friends

JUDAS baby
is JESUS reborn
betrayer returning
to make good on the throne

when the boys made love
JESUS would cry
say JUDAS BABY
take me inside

JUDAS would scream
and JESUS would fly
gabriel reborn
with galadriel's eyes

AGENTS OF KARMA
coming right back
SEVENTH COMING BABY
a queer MONSTER ATTACK

DMV RISING
TAHRIR STYLE
JESUS AND JUDAS
GAGASTYLE

ONE GOD: AGENTS OF KARMA
ONE LOVE for a VAGRANT MADONNA

JESUS BABY
JUDAS CRIED

let me ride and fly

EVOLUTION
COMING HARD
REVOLUTION
GOING STRONG


-BYPO PHOENIX c2011

BECOMING PHOENIX

To write again is a struggle
A struggle to give voice to months
Entombed in passivity
Lacerated by loneliness
Bored to tears by the endless drumming rhythm
Of isolation





Awakened again I hear angels inside
Quickening the blood
Recharging adrenaline
Reemerging to find friends eager to embrace
A revived personality

Crippled by chemistry I was blinded
To the brutal effect of countless betrayals
On almost every front
Friendships that I had thought lifelong
Shattered in petty rounds of recrimination

You are a phoenix she said
And the words rang true
Rising from ashes and rubble
To fly again
This time safely
To reconquer the heavens
And reclaim a humble place among the stars

DIRTY LITTLE FREAK: poetic erotica

DIRTY LITTLE FREAKS >> A SEX POSITIVE RIFF FIRST INSPIRED BY THE PINK ANTHEM "RAISE UR GLASS"

I'm a dirty little freak

I'll meet you on the street
Go home to your place
And you'll taste me for a week

I'll go down on your floor

I'll rock you to the core
Bust out before dawn
Leave you screaming wanting more

We're dirty little freaks

we make out on the street
fuck propriety
sexin' up the dmv

IMMORTALIZED: a tribute to the prophetic work of Gil Scott-Heron

love and rage
took the stage
speaking truth
eschewing fame

inscribing pain
abusing veins
rebel poet
living wraith

harlem streets
never clean
seductive highs
pure dopamine

kick it quit it
never sticking
rhyme and rhythm
ever kicking

shining star
badly scarred
edge of glory
gone too far

science dropping
never stopping
black jesus baby
poet and prophet

his holy word
a dream deferred
hip hop's great
progenitor

truth unfurled
in meter blurred
from gotham
to johannesburg

forever real
words of steel
rest in peace
brother gil

televised
magnetized
revolution
immortalized
