Virginia (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

[Pharrell]
You ready to do this, nigga?
You ready to come down here?
It’s Virginia, nigga…
We do this in broad daylight…
It’s a whole different degree of homicide, nigga…
You ready?

[Chorus: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I’m from Virginia, where ain’t shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain’t shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)

[Pusha T]
In my "Home Sweet Home" I keep chrome next to my bones
Alters my walk to limpin’
Since I love the feel, I guess I’m passionately pimpin’
It ‘tis what it seems
That thing imprintin’ through the seams of my jeans, by all means
Lost it all, from lives to love
Put my faith in my money, help me rise above
See I turned to the Lord when them times got tough
Bullied through streets, powder I pushed and shoved
In that ole’ Virginey
Out of ten niggas, nine are guinea
No money, all they know is gimme, got semis waitin’
Heat like Caribbean summers, I been there
Each year, a diffferent bitch wonder
Who wing she gon’ fall under, Push’ or Mal’
Ganga grinds, wit’ me, with thoughts of fuckin’ them cross her mind
Look ma, that’s right up my alley
I love my family, I want them all happy
In Virginia, we smirked at that Simpson trial
Yeah, I guess the chase was wild
But what’s the fuss about?
See, plenty my partners feelin’ like O.J.
Beat murder like the shit is OK, that’s what our door say
Talk the evil that men do, I’m lost in the mental
I miss you Shampoo, we miss you Shampoo
And your grams, too…
[Pharrell]
My nigga…
Fo sho…

[Chorus 2X’s: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I’m from Virginia, where ain’t shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain’t shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)

[Malice]
Seem like they all got a comment to make
In regards to my paper, now they guessin’ my weight
They fast to predict the outcome of my fate
Wonderin’ ‘bout Clipse and if they got what it take
Malice, he think he hard, tough guy of the clique
And Pusha, he walk around like he swear he the shit
You right on both counts, bitch, Clipse is us
And there are some things that you don’t discuss
Don’t ask me ‘bout the Neptunes and what’s they fair
Don’t ask about the loud screamin’ chick with the hair
Don’t ask about my music, and how that’s comin’ ‘bout
Don’t ask about my album, or when’s it comin’ out
‘Cause I feel like you really being funny on the slide
Now face down, layin’ on your tummy, or you die
I tried being humble, humble get no respect
Now the first sign of trouble, that’s a hole up in your neck
Plus, what I look like spendin’ my nights in jail
I could never be a thug, they don’t dress this well
I reside in VA, ride in VA
Most likely when I die, I’m gon’ die in VA
Virginia’s for lovers, but trust there’s hate here
For out-of-towners, who think that they gon’ move weight here
Ironic, the same same place I’m makin’ figures at
That there’s the same land they used to hang niggas at, in Virginia…

[Chorus 2X’s: Pusha T & (Pharrell)]
I’m from Virginia, where ain’t shit to do but cook (Talk about, what?)
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fuck the books (Talk about, what?)
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks (Talk about, what?)
So when we pull up, it ain’t shit to do but look (Talk about, what?)

[Pharrell]
Young’n… (Talk about, what?)
This is real, young’n… (Talk about, what?)
You lookin’ into a whole different world, young’n (Talk about, what?)
This is real…
Live…

Virginia (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

in the lush virginia hills
they kept her as long as they could
cause they knew when the white brother
found white shell beads
wrapped around her skin —
a life giving river —
her body open as will his hand
and with a "goodbye" there she goes

she may betray all that she loves
and even wait for their savior to come
and in some things, maybe he’ll be right
but as always the thing that he loves
he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
still she’ll lay down her body
covering him all the same

so hundreds of years go by
(the red road carved up by sharp knife)
she’s a girl out working her trade
and she loses a little each day
to ghetto pimps and presidents
who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
she can’t recall what they represent
and when you ask, she won’t know

she will betray

oh virginia
do you remember
when the land held your hand
oh virginia
she will let you back in
oh virginia
you can’t remember your name

(jesse valenzuela)

It’s like trying to light a cigarette
When the matches you got are soaking wet
Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall
When it’s coming down like a wrecking ball
Slow down, virginia
Don’t make me wait
Slow down, virginia
Don’t make me wait
Virginia
It’s everything that’s cool rolled into one
Everything that’s not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, virginia
Don’t make me wait
Slow down, virginia
Don’t make me wait
Virginia
Sometimes it sounds like she’s been crying
But when she lights, this whole dump is…
It’s everything that’s cool rolled into one
Everything that’s not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, virginia…

I know you so well
I could make you from scratch
My precious little puppet
With no strings attached
I like the way you dance around
And sing back to me
I’ll take you back to virginia
For all my people to see

I just want to play what you want me to
I just want to say what you want me to

Oh, take me. take me back
Take me back to virginia,
Take me back i want to go back for good

Open a window put the dog at the foot of my bed
Sleep to the music of the ice cream man
And rest my head
If i wake up on the right side
I’ll sit at my window and play
A song for my people from yesterday

Chorus

It’s been seven years since i’ve seen you shine
And i see you when i’m sleeping
And i know i’m not lost as long as my lines are true
I just want to get back to you

I can still tell what it really means to be
Dancing to the music
As she sings out to me
Smiling and laughing as the people dance my soul
Take me back to virginia
From so long ago

Chorus
