'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Mike D come on and rock the sure shot

I've got the brand new doodoo
Guaranteed like Yoohoo
I'm on like Dr John, yeah Mr Zu Zu
I'm a newlywed, not a divorcee
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well it's the taking of the Pelham, one, two, three
If you want a doodoo rhyme then come see me
I've got the savoir-faire with the unique rhyme and
I keep it on and on, it's never quitting time and
Strictly hand held is the style I go
Never rock the mic with the pantyhose
I strap on my ear goggles and I'm ready to go
'Cause at the boards is the man they call Mario
Pull up at the function and you know I'm Kojak
To all the party people that are on my Balzac
I've got more action than my man John Woo
And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Ad Rock come and rock the sure shot

Hurricane'll cross fade your ass and bust your ear drums
Listen everybody 'cause I'm shifting gears I'm
Fresh like Dougie when I set my specs and
On the microphone I come correct
Timing like a clock when I rock the hip hop
Top notch is my stock on the soapbox
I've got more rhymes than I've got gray hairs
And that's a lot because I've got my share
I've got a hole in my head and there's no one to fix it
Got to straighten my thoughts, I'm thinking too much sick s***
Everyone just takes and takes, takes, takes, takes
I've got to step back, I've got to contemplate
I'm like Lee Perry, I'm very
On rock the microphone and then I'm gone
I'm like Vaughn Bode, I'm a Cheech Wizard
Never quitting, so won't you listen

*Ah yes indeed it's fun time*
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
MCA come and rock the sure shot

I want to say a little something that's long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be through
To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the end
Well you say I'm twenty-something and I should be slacking
But I'm working harder than ever and you could call it macking
So I'm supposed to sit upon my couch watching my TV
I'm still listening to wax, I'm not using the CD
Well I'm that kid in the corner
All f***ed up and I wanna so I'm gonna
Take a piece of the pie, why not, I'm not quittin'
Think I'm gonna change up my style just to fit in
I keep my underwear up with a piece of elastic
I use a bulls*** mic that's made out of plastic
To send my rhymes out to all the nations
Like Ma Bell, I've got the ill communications

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop

The bloody angle
The symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot
I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you
No pun intended
No punishment
If I offended you, you needed it!
Ideas are the bombs in your mind
A fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon,
You can't have mine!

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil, but I won't be your hero!

The catatonic,
The sacrilege,
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My god has a need to react,
Its as simple as that
It's better just to settle
Than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a life times worth
Just to cling to one more day

No f***ing quarter
No premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man! Is a four letter word
It's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, its just inferred

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another Zealot with the weight of the f***ing world.

Oh, I'm not afraid!
And I won't let you down as I hold you in
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh mother

Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh father

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me
Do you wanna feel everything
Oh father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's
Yeah

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Mother
Yeah

I. The Rover(Instrumental)


It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again, yeah
Oh
Oh

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh
Ooh

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh

Oh, yeah


Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh, oh
Sing out hare, hare, oh
Dance the hoochie koo
The city lights
Oh so bright
As we go sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through
Oooh
Oooh
Oh, all right

Yeeaah!

Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it, yeah!
Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need

Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
Wanna get a reaction, yeah!
Gonna take her home 'cos she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees

Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me

Oh!
Oh!

What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the loving upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free, love me, say "Hell, yes"

Low brow, but I rock a little know-how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart, get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now

Bob Marley, poet and a prophet
Bob Marley, taught me how to off it
Bob Marley, walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me, can't you see I'm gonna cough it?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Ohhh, oh, yeah!
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


Lucky me, swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom, I love her 'cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good, my brother gonna hug me
Drink up my juice, young love chug-a-lug me

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on, everybody, time to deliver

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Owww

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

*Lyrics in italics sung by Jen Ledger.
I'm at war with the world and they,
Try to pull me into the dark;
I struggle to find my faith,
As I'm slippin’ from Your arms;

And my strength is fading fast;
You breathe into me at last!
I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! Right now!
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

I’m at war with the world cause I,
Ain’t never gonna sell my soul;
I've already made up my mind,
No matter what, I can’t be bought or sold;

And I feel like giving in,
You breathe into me again!
I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! Right now!
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!

In the dark,
I can feel you in my sleep,
In your arms I feel you breathe into me;
Forever hold this heart that I will give to You,
Forever I will live for You!

(Guitar solo)

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! Right now!
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!

We're bleeding over gold that's black
Honesty, integrity, things you lack
Leading the sheep
All along believers
Now know that they were wrong
We!
We know!
About!
All your f***ing lies!
And now!
We want!
To hear the truth!
Moment of truth
Leave behind your paper trail
You're a rat
We can see your tail
Questioning you about all your lies
Remove your spine
You run and hide
It's the moment of truth

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

It should seem obvious to you
Your screams and cries are never going to work
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

Maybe I'm just too damn lazy
Or maybe I was just brainwashed to think that way
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I'm looking back now at
Where I have, have gone wrong
And why I could not seem
Could not seem to get along

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I first saw you
And it's been awhile, since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile, since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile, since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile, since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile, since I've gone and f***ed things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile, but all that s*** seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and f***ed things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile, since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile, since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile, but I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry

All our needs put together
Don't bleed on their own
You paid for an eyeful
So behold the bull
Why can't I look up, out in the clearing
Tell me what's there below, end over end
While he's safe for the moment, guess what I'm learning
He's never safe from the crowd

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way, it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
What ya say we make amends

To be monumental
Could mean the beyond
The simpler the treasure
Means the higher the cost
Well as for the ending, damn right I'm learning
You might ask for the door, end over end
Well I hate how the clouds hide
The gasps from above

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way, it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
What ya say we make amends

Find your challenge, suffer miles
Colors gray, he brings them out
Don't mind the challenge, suffer miles
A little shallow, if I don't say

Hats off to the bull
His time ain't up
Bitter hell in the lion's den
For some of us
Hats off to the bull
The sun won't set
'Til the pain and the final breath

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way, it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
What ya say we make amends?

Hats off to the bull, no giving up
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
Hats off to the bull, no giving up
Hats off to the bull

Come wit it now, come wit it now

The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either drop tha hits like de-la-o, or get tha f*** off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy, yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains, drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five-sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of Mother Earth gets bigger
Tha trigger's cold, empty ya purse

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells

Weapons, not food, not homes, not sh***, not need
Just feed tha war, cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Line up to tha mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
