The Story (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I would have returned your greeting
if it weren’t for the way you were looking at me
this street is not a market
and I am not a commodity
don’t you find it sad that we can’t even say hello
‘cause you’re a man
and I’m a woman
and the sun is getting low
there are some places that I can’t go
as a woman I can’t go there
and as a person I don’t care
I don’t go for the hey baby what’s your name
and I’d alone thank you
just the same

I am up again against
the skin of my guitar
in the window of my life
looking out through the bars
I am sounding out the silence
avoiding all the words
I’m afraid I’ve said too much
I’m afraid of who has heard me

my father, he told me the story
and it was true
for his time
but now the story’s different
maybe I should tell him mine
all the girls line up here
all the boys on the other side
I see your ranks are advancing
I see mine are left behind

I am up again against
the skin of my guitar
in the window of my life
looking out through the bars
I am sounding out the silence
avoiding all the words
I’m afraid I can never say enough
I’m afraid no one has heard me

and despite all the balls that I’ve been thrown
and forced to drop
on the social totem pole
I’m preciously close to the top
the put you in your place
and they tell you to behave
but no one can be free
until we’re all on even grade

and I would have returned your greeting
if it weren’t for the way you were looking at me

The Story (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Chorus:

Here’s a little story I got to tell
And this dis goes on, again and again
Uh, Uh

Here’s a little story I got to tell
And this dis goes on, again and again
Uh, Uh

Here’s a little story I got to tell
And this dis goes on, again and again
Uh, Uh

Here’s a little story I got to tell
And this dis goes on, again and again
Uh, Uh

Verse 1:

I think it goes, ya live by the dirt, ya die by the shovel
You can repent and come with god or you can know a devil
You can go and get a job or you can do some federal
but if I were you, I’d straighten up and do some next level
I often tweek when I drive (drives)
How can a small town like Thelel have all these homocides
Man, fools be droppin like flies
Maybe we need mo brothers sellin bean pies
And it’s a fool cuz everybody mama’s know each other
It ain’t cool, but you know black folks like to act they color
Wonder why all the good people get put through some many
different changes of the web
And all those folks that do wrong seem like they
live forever
I wish I can rewind time
Remember when we used to get free lunch, and the
city bus used to cost a dime
Runnin around, talkin about you got the cooties
Liftin up skirts, and touchin girl’s booties
Boy, take those shoes off before ya come up in dis house
And whatever you do, don’t you sit on grandmama’s plastic
covered couch
Why is it that when all the homeys get togethor, we get back
in the dayz
And I can remember a time we get drunk somebody bring up AIDS
Life is something you catch ball and give back
Here today and gone tomorrow
Just like that
Pat yo rats on yo back (Patch your rats on your back)
Take some time out yo waltz (Take some time out yo waltz)
And tell your love’ems that you love em as all

Chorus

Verse 2:

Uh, Uh fatty is the key to end all your walls
Contemporary crib, cash cards and clothes
But then it cause problems like guns and spids
Familys fall out and don’t talk for years
Like my cromey (Like my cromey)
They called him big breaded
His first cousin set him up and left his ass for dead
Churches, wakes, nothing unusual, seem like every other
damn day I’m buyin and brand new suit for funerals
Have yo pockets ever lost weight, and you ain’t even tried
Did you wonder if yo cash was on da diet
See, when you’re up, everybody wanna come around
But when ya down, ain’t nobody out there to be found
If you love someone you should tell em often
Ya never know when they’ll be layin in da coffin
Dedicated to my peoples up in jail
Ya partner 40 water gotta story to tell (a story to tell)

Chorus

Verse 3:

Takin tert da ninja out da getto (the getto)
But not the getto out da ninja, give me life for 3 rocks
But I won’t surrender
Oh he’s a heven (heven), nigga da way he dress
He must be dealin (dealin) how did he get that Lex
Of course, if it ain’t used get spokes, it’s crime and coast
It’s all dey work
Shootin shit up and actin tough, ridin around with gold n stuff
It’s rough
How much money you earn, enough, I own my own law firm
Don’t need a tux, I twerks picoods and kakis (kakis)
Levis and t-shirts (Levis and t-shirts), whatever the street’s works
(street’s works)
Partner doutch, you been actin kinda funny lately since you even
got a few bucks
But I’m still folks with some pac, remember three flies up
And this goes on, again and again
Dis goes on, again and again
Ain’t nothin changed but the tad toy
Same time, different day, different star

Chorus

The Story (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Oh, no, no, no, no, oh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

He was a memory i can’t erase
Like a dream come true from out of the night
When i first saw you our eyes met face to face
I knew right then and there that it would be right

1 – just when i thought i was over love
Baby you stepped right into my life
Will we be lovers or just the best of friends
Or will the story just come to an end

Was i just a victim of circumstance
Or just a fool who fell too quickly in love
But when i saw you, there was someone else
And i knew that i could not
Could not be – not be second best
No, no,no,no, no

Repeat 1

(chapter 1)
Momma told me when a boy meets girl
(chapter 2)
That you see rainbows, stars shining in your world
(chapter 3)
But when it’s over the writing’s on the wall
Don’t you keep cryin’ no, no
Just keep on
Just keep moving on

Repeat 1 until fade

From Black Gangster soundtrack

[DMX]
I’m always talking shit, cause wherever I go I walk in shit
And now they got me on some stalking shit
Broad daylight, niggaz is crying, ‘But I don’t want anyone to blast’
So from the roof I pick em off like a scab
And watch the slug bust a thug like a watermelon
He shoulda thought about that before caught a terror
And now another kid grows up without a daddy or a mommy
Cause at the funeral I hit up the caddy,
it’s the army for real niggaz with nothing to lose
Cause when it’s time to go you don’t get to choose
I make the muthafuckin rules and I enforce it,
shorty’s people was loose hand so he lost it
I took the joints and tossed them, in the river,
at the same spot that I dumped
This kid that didn’t wanna give a nigga the combo, to the safe in the crib
Look, money, that’s why I did what I did

{2 niggaz Talking…..}

[DMX]
Mad stressed and I’m about to have a breakdown
It’s time for pops who got the store on the corner to have get a shakedown
He hasn’t paid for protection in like two months
So I figured I’d leave him wit like two fronts
I break up shit to let him know that I’m real
Reminder, I know where you live so don’t squeal
Told him, next time I come, Have some paper for me
Don’t fuck around and turn into another caper for me
Cause though he’s cool all that cool shit stops
And I be in the crowd talking bout, ‘Yo who killed pops?’
It’s a shame, he was caught up in the game and couldn’t play it
So I smoked him, I asked him ‘who’s the man’ and made him say it
Three times, and that’s how many times I hit him
A nigga was acting like he didn’t have to pay so I did him
Yo I think this shit is going to my head (for real)
But let that be a lesson, don’t pay dues and you dead

{2 niggaz Talking…..}

[DMX]
A little birdie told me that the feds were on to me
And they wanted to do something real wrong to me
So I broke out, Blazed the L for a while
Checked my sources and found my name was on file
Under gun for hire and extortion, but yo I never use
The same joint twice as a precaution and I heard this kid tried to set me up
He knew I knew so he tried to wet me up
See he was under investigation for drugs
They set up all types of phone taps and bugs
Then when they bagged him, money went out, reprisent (he was my friend)
Said they’d let him go, all he had to do was snitch
And I know now he wish they would have kept him
Cause it was sweet how I crept him, wet him up then left him
And that’s for mufuckas that don’t know
Go against the grain and you feel the pain
Aight yo?

The Story (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

The first time he saw her she was out among the crowds,
She was sitting at the table, pouring beer from a spout.
He catches her eye from across the bar,
He wouldn’t even bring himself to go that far.

Chorus
What comes around goes around or so they say,
When will we meet on another day.
What comes around goes around don’t they say,
This could have happened on any other day.

The next time he saw her she was dancing by his side,
The band was driving and they were along for the ride.
He bought her a beer and didn’t think about why,
It was fateful night that they realized why.

Now he pulls up to her doorstep he can’t believe his eyes, she’s
Standing in the middle with his heart right inside.
And he tells her he loves her before they even tough,
It’s been far too long though it don’t seem that much.

She flies down to see him, and he’s waiting at the gate,
They led seperate lives, could this have been fate?
She comes through the doorway, with bags in her hand,
Her eyes search the waiting crowds just to find her man.

The Story (Letra)

S. Colvin – J. Leventhal

Well we pounded the pavement between
dotted lines
But we always belonged to the
fugitive kind
We were never the best but we were
better than this
To be made to bow down among princes
I got thrown around hallways and
bedrooms and towns
And you run from that voice and
it drags you around
It don’t matter the ruse or the
weapons we choose
There is only one thing that can free us

Oh so here I am
The lion and the lamb
I was born to be telling this story
I could only be telling this story
I will always be telling this story

Well our father married our
mother too young
And he took on a world like a
fortunate son
But in the cellar downstairs waiting
for the bomb scare
He would hide from us under the kitchen
Where she simmered so soft with
her weapons of tin
And like so many suppers she just
gave us to him
And he never did guess in her cast
iron dress
She was burning beyond recognition

Oh it’s not over yet
I can’t forget
I am going to be telling this story
I was born to be telling this story
I will always be telling this story

Sometimes I feel so reckless and wild
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
I gave nobody life, I am nobody’s wife
And I seem to be nobody’s daughter
So red is the color that I like the best
It’s your Indian skin and the badge
on my chest
The heat of my pride
The lips of a bride
The sad heart of the truth
And the flag of youth
And blood that is thicker than water

I was made to be telling this story
I was born to be telling this story
I am going to be telling this story
I could only be telling this story
I will always be telling this story

The Story (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I’ve been thinking of everything
I used to want to be
I’ve been thinking of everything
Of me, of you and me

This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created

I’m in the middle of nothing
And it’s where I want to be
I’m at the bottom of everything
And I finally start to leave

This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
I’ve created

And I swear to god
I’ve found myself
In the end
And I swear to god
I’ve found myself
In the end
And I swear to god
I’ve found myself
In the end
In the end
And I swear to god
I’ve found myself
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end

This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
