The Crossing

1999

A while ago I chanced to roam to the place my great grandad called home
It wasn't that much I saw that day, but I learned I whole lot along the way
I was goin' to Ireland retracing my family footsteps diggin' up roots
You could call 'em tubers

The closer to the root of my family tree, the more people seemed to look like me
Saw a sign said Mollie O'Brien's bar, I knew right then I couldn't be that far
I went in there and asked for beer, he pours this black stuff, he says, 'cheers'
'Guinness gives you strength', he said, I'll tell you friends it's like drinkin' bread
There's a loaf in every pint I was feelin' strong felt like I wanted to sing

My whistle was wet and my tongue was loose
When the barman asked how come I'd choose
To travel such a long, long way on such a cold and rainy day
I said, 'I'm goin' up to Kingscourt town.

Well the best damn record store in Ireland
Is the Dingle Record Shop
I've been to several record stores in Ireland
Dingle is on top

The Dingle store is tiny
Stuffed full of records and CDs
They've got no posted hours
They open when they please
The owner Mazz is going blind
You help her make your change
You cannot leave her store
Without a smile upon your face
Mazz and Rosie hit it off,
Mazz showed her how to play bodhran
Mazz gave Rose her Irish name (Róisín)
Mazz had a picture in her window
With Bono from U2

Well the best damn record store in Ireland
Is the Dingle Record Shop
I've been to many record stores in Ireland
Dingle is on top
Mazz O'Flaherty is the queen
As nice as she can be
Yes, the best damn record store in Ireland
Is the Dingle Record Shop"

You can see it in his eyes...

Look
In
His
Eyes
Delorean
Northern Ireland
Deception
Intention

When there is a hole
Some will try to fill it
Some will build a bridge
And some will fall right in

Look into his eyes
See just what they hide
All the many lies
Disregard for lives
His Eyes...

The journey to the hank that he made mice a week 
To cash in on percentage of the cut 
Life so good, drive so easy
The only one he made with peepers shut

But eyes getting wider in the vaults of the bank
Calculating draft after draft
Adding up just what makes the owner of the yacht
Much better than the owner of the raft 

So give him hands clapping hands and smiling Irish eyes
But please don't ever tax his next of kin
Strangled by the gap between the tree tops and the skies
Hollands banking Ireland's sweetest thing

Pennies piled high, pounds cashed in
Caught between Alsatian and the gates
Poor can't risk not having any friends
Avaritia can't afford to have a mate

The crooks and the criminals, gangsters and animals
Fleeing stripped down to their waist
Drenched in sweat and blood of their imaginary crimes
They were running from a fear called the eighth

So give him hands clapping hands and smiling Irish eyes
But please don't ever tax his next of kin
Strangled by the gap between the tree tops and the skies
Holland's banking Ireland's sweetest thing

On Easter Monday of every year, people flock to Fairyhouse from far and near
With a sense of excitement, in hope of more, in hope of a great days racing in store
But there’s really one race they’re waiting to see, the finest steeplechase in this little country
So, let them off, give them the shout, let the runners and riders go battle it out

Here we are up and over they go, till the final furlong, who’s to know
The Irish Grand National in full flight, on Easter Monday there’s no better sight
And as the winner pulls away the roar you can hear, the hustle and the bustle and the atmosphere
As Fairyhouse becomes a magical place, for Ireland’s finest steeplechase

And the thousands that are there, well they get to live it, And others get to sit at home along with Tracey Pigott
But no matter where you are there’s a buzz on the day, whether you’ve backed a favourite or an outsider each way
But that’s the beauty anyone can win so who’s your money with, A big stable small stable or a syndicate 
And you’ve got bookies on the ball and a few wiley punters, And a late tip blowing the odds asunder

And it’s a race full of names steeped in history, like Draper Taafe Ferris Mullins Walsh and Carberry
And not to mention the horses that have won this race too, like Arkle, Desert Orchid, Brown lad to name a few
And it’s a test of courage, of character and strength, to go the full distance and win it by a length
And for the owner, trainer, jockey and the punters that knew, they’ll be sure to celebrate their win with a pint or two

I left Peru for
A better life sure
Here in America
A kind and gentle man
Who seemed to understand
To me an open door
Job in his store
Botanical shop
Tropical nursery
Where I would want to be
His inventory stock
To me seemed all top notch
My heart encouraged just to see

Bougainvillea

Of the flowering things you're more than just verdant
Bougainvillea
Belemia
How your many colors brighten any land

Mister Nguyen our
honored owner brought
H 1 B visa in
She was from Ireland
A tissue culturist
Plant propagationist
Her specialty
Leafs were her penchant
I loved her accent
We dated openly
We'd say our vows and more
With friend and plants galore
Wedding reception in the store

Mister Nguyen was
More than a friend like
A mentor made for me
Arrived an immigrant
And knew just what that meant
He worked in many jobs
Saved his money
He had fixed his sight
And with the time right
Became a citizen
He passed at ninety three
What I could not believe
He willed the store to wife and me

Is the sound in my head
The sound of the dead
Stereo here we go again
Quadraphonic supersonic alcoholic Reaganomics
Owner of the last Delorean

Cause I'm the bearer of bad news
I'm the fighter with the long fuse
I'm the holder of what's unused
And I'm around
Skylab's falling
On Three Mile Island
And I'm out walking around
Mount St Helen is what I'm selling
So get in line and spend your dime friends

Cause I'm the bearer of bad news
I'm the fighter with the long fuse
I'm the holder of what's unused
And I'm around
I'm the bearer of bad news
I'm the fighter with the long fuse
I'm the holder of what's unused
And I'm around

Is the song in my head
the song of the dead
Radio here I come again

Cause I'm the bearer of bad news
I'm the fighter with the long fuse
I'm the holder of what's unused
And I'm around
I'm the bearer of bad news
I'm the fighter with the long fuse
I'm the bad news bearer
And I'm around
I'm the bearer
I'm the fighter
I'm the holder
I'm the soldier
I'm the conscience with insurance
And I'm proud

I’m so blessed up
No more stress cuz
I’m reppin 1 love
Like MJ with da glove
My blessings come from above

Hard work beats talent this is not a bluff
I feel like da best & it’s still not enough
Bad Boi grew up just like biggie & puff
Look in the mirror & see that I’m tough
Lived thru my past even tho it was rough
& Wouldn’t change nothing not even the cuffs

I survived & now I thrive,this da Life, I feel alive 

I’m so blessed up

Not a leprechaun, I’m like a 4leaf 
Clover, 
Ima buy my mom a range
Rover,
Then I sit back, kickback, relax like I am a 
, I am a I am a Stoner,
If it’s just liquor then I might stay sober
Less I’m drinking with moms then I pass her a coaster
Cuz I’m not a child but my face on the posters
The U.S. was bought that’s why I’m not a voter
We are not slaves & We don’t need an owner
I don’t fuck with da ops they In love with they holster 
& they not for the people they hunt us like poachers
So take back the power, make everything kosher
I know that I’m bold but my people we bolder
Let’s love our neighbors so we can takeover 
& the older we are, the more we get closer


I’m so blessed up
No more stress cuz
I’m reppin 1 love
Like MJ with da glove
My blessings come from above

Living the life that I believe
Speaking my truth I’m not here to deceive
I killed all my demons & I did not grieve
The powers been with me since I was conceived 
Believe in yourself & I know you’ll receive 
Whatever you think you can achieve

Verse 1
This is for anybody ever tryna play like a Sega genesis 
Ever tryna rob me of my innocence 
Only fucking with me for the benefit 
Give an good shoulders till they shivering 
Make an cop a bubble and some timberlands 
When they see me I might talk a little bit 
Hard to read me hope you feel illiterate 
Ahhh
Shouldn't make jokes like that 
Shouldn't give hope like that 
Cuz niggas burn bridges and they 
Try to just float right back 
Ima get ghost like Casper
I'ma take off like a day off
Or migos witta cape on with a halo I don't feel you niggas 
So high up I don't hear you niggas 
But every time I come round they like 
I feel you nigga
Cuz they forget when they use to tell you to they face that they never gone make it 
And they forget when they use to tell behind ya back now they are can't face it
And they forget when you needed helping hands they hands was never free 
And now I hand you what you was handing me
And you can't handle it how you mad at me 
Honestly I'm out ya league 
Hakeem the dream oloujawan 
It's plain to see what side you on no delta wings 
You mad I'm fly as Michael Vick or Dominique 
Or Julius ain't new to this ya hating ass is obsolete 
Compared to finer things the money brings when you're a household name they can't compete 

I be dipping like Kim on moesha 
Don't got the bread don't be asking for features
Keep work overseas with no features 
Ain't down with the team gone be harder to reach us 
Bad girls use to hide now they seek us 
I just run game like it's all in the sneakers 
Foul niggas like Keisha be hating a lot
Put on for the East where they scheme and they plot 
Oh no
She pulling up to your 
Show
When I touch the mic turn to
Gold
Every track that I bless
Jess o
Like the beat just take over my soul
Ima beast if you knew what I know 
Would have been tryna sign me or fuckin co sign me
You fucked up the bag use a
Ho

Hook

3rd verse 
Got no time for wasting time I get straight to the bag
My circle needle eye
I don't need a lot 
Long as sky's the limit like a eagle eye 
Ain't tryna ball like igoudala 
Still I need like each and every dollar 
Harlem told me that money come with problems 
I got problems with having empty pockets 

Started my label that is only option 
For owning your masters i ain't talking college 
But speaking of college I'm back in the process 
Cuz I think a bachelor's like making deposits 
Invest in yaself you gone see all the profits 
I'm telling ya 
Get ya weight up like bars on a cellular 

Don't care where you came from ya past ain't ya present 
Don't need a Delorean to switch up ya future in matter of seconds

You just need a hustle like russle
I'm talking bout Westbrook or Wilson or Bill 
Fuck all that negative every build 
With niggas that's down always splitting the bill
Watching your back put you on to the real 
Tell it so straight give a fuck how you feel 
Cant Stay in the field 
Need that owner box 
Need a legacy bigger than Oprahs pockets 
Like a Houston rocket if I want it I gotta go harden 
Vegas BET on your yourself going all in
Hard to stop me my time is approaching 

Oh shit oh shit 

Later, we added more stars and bought Alaska, wholesale

Put an ad in The New York Times
It read
Wanted, covered wagon, two horses
Will exchange for biplane
Good flyer, only one previous owner

A hundred miles out we join up with a wagon train
It features John Wayne, RIP
And we each get twelve dollars a day as extras
Union rates in those days

And the kids died
One of fever before we'd reached the Midwest
The other in Korea

Some work in Hollywood before the depression
Made some dealing in slavery
Lost it all in a poker game

Marriage annulled
Hoboed, swept bars, bummed cigarettes and stole
Got drunk more times than I could count
Threw crates of tea into the harbor
Those were the days

I could dance as well as Fred Astaire in my youth
Do you remember Sly & the Family Stone at Woodstock?

Well, you're walkin' through a city street, you could be in Peru
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's meant for you
Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob
And before you know just where you are, you're in an Irish pub

They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you'll always have a job
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same
You'll have 'Razor Houghton' scoring in the Ireland, England game
And you know you're in an Irish pub the minute you're in the door
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore

They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you'll always have a job
'Cause wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork
And the lad that's holding up the bar says 'Only Eejits Work'
He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy's from Kildare
And he's going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare

They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you'll always have a job
'Cause wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

Now it's time for me to go, I have to catch me train
So I'll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain
For I'll have that pint you owe me, if I'm not gone on the dry
When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry

They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you'll always have a job
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you'll always have a job
'Cause wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub
Wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

Real changes come from the inside 

Look
They say life is unpredictable it's true because 
You may know who someone is but never know who becomes 
The driven kids who go to jail I call those dons the stupid ones 
cll that passion in a can you're looking like some rubicon's 

If your foots not in the field don't put your mouth in either that's what I hear as a opposition that I'm loud in spite of for the people likely to fail hearing now dem rise up
Keep moving when you're on the rocks like a mountain climber 

Motivation for people who think they're prone to failure 
I'm not prone to failing but I was told that I'm overrated 
Said I won't be heard outside of Ireland there's no hope in praying
I surpassed the then mark now I'm listened to in Copenhagen 

Showing people what they mean to themselves 
Showing them a life of crime isn't a means to excel
Or risking freedom I'm telling you see it's lethal cos they wanna spreadsheets so that's why they end up sleeping in cells  
See the system here is evil as hell this for the people who picked a needle in need of some help hoping a feeling is felt the  leaders misleading us well focused on looting like they've forgetting how leading was spelt
That one's for my countries back in cfrica 
Countries ruled by dinosaurs it's Looking like Jurassic Park 
Your transport system archaic but you're moving flashy cars
See that's why I say it's a cold continent cntarctica 

No one to talk to so they kneel down and talk to god 
Talk about change as if concept isn't hard at all it's not even hard to grasp but it's more about how to start 
I really wanna sculpt the change but change is really hard to carve 

cy you nah
Change is hard to come by 
But we gotta
We just have to combine 
Will and honour 
We forgot it sometimes 
But it's time that
We stand up 

Real changes come from the inside 

Real change comes from inside brudda yah
Feel it on the inside brudda yah
Be strong be like steal and copper 
See the real ones nor be thief and robber 

Will is the determination and honour discernment
It's your compass of right or wrong that you're gonna determine so follow it firmly we walk separate but all on a journey 
I'm a boulder on my path you don't wanna deter me 
I'm going to the dream land like I'm following Kirby 
I want revenue from my tasks like the Government earnings 
I know that they don't want me to win but Doesn't concern me 
Grind For my family in Benin and my cousins in purely 
The sheep mentality people poking fun at individuals 
The untalented people go and comment in the videos 
Or bothering to ridicule the problem isn't really those 
The problem is the ones that quit cos all of them are fitting holes 
I cannot be pigeonholed 
'Cause I grew up with different goals 
But listen bro we need the sheep just as much as we need the wolves 
I just hope that we can see why we shouldn't delete the fools 
'Cause you see wolves we need to feed just as much as we need the wool

We have steppingstones look it's all about timing
That what the road is rocky 4 like cpollo is dying 
Those on the edge the legends are there for all of our guidance 
Success is for you too its like bono designed it 

I'll be the one to set the example 
Coming at the game from the deadliest angle 
Telling ya man Ive pulled through where many have tangled 
No Bentley or lambo but if you check the merch see a lago 

Yo that's my bro so bonus 
Instead of mncs rather give to the local owners 
Respect the dead mcs let them be but it's no condolence 
Just let them rest in peace let them pree as I hold the Onus 
I hope you know the chorus 

cy you nah
Change is hard to come by 
But we gotta
We just have to combine 
Will and honour 
We forgot it sometimes 
But it's time that
We stand up 

Real changes come from the inside 

Real change comes from inside brudda yah
Feel it on the inside brudda yah
Be strong be like steal and copper 
See the real ones nor be thief and robber
