Lyrics:
All waiting for their turn
And I,-I,-I
Get tired of tired
Awakened by the weight of the common human state
And the metaphor: Blackbird on fire
On soft
and vicious schemes
Ooh child, don't you go...
Where dead trees cast no shadow
Blackbirds no relief, the dry stone... no spring of water
Only in your
I said, the little leatherwing bat
I?ll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart?s delight
Howdy
ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha
Val-dera
My knapsack on my back
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me
Come join my happy
Strung along by a fiction
Read it in a magazine
Strung along by a fiction
From a movie screen
In Manhattan
You cannot have it all
Turn around for
We saw houses falling from the sky
Where the mountains lean down to the sand
We saw blackbirds circling 'round an old castle keep
And I stood
they'll fucking know me from Tokyo to Manhattan
Right now they pass and don't give me a second look
But they'll notice when they're singing all my hooks
I'm pulling up with Rachel, I'm a little unstable
I been drinking all day, I ain't mean nothing by it
I'm pulling up with Rachel, I'm a little
on a string
And I was just about hitting my stride
A couple barrel aged manhattan's on my side
When I tell Ed I'll join him, it's usually a lie
But I was just
still
Just as willing
As the day
You met me
When you say
You'll make us Manhattans
I know by sunrise
I'll be pleading let me down easy (Easy)
Let me down
still
Just as willing
As the day
You met me
When you say
You'll make us Manhattans
I know by sunrise
I'll be pleading, let me down easy (Easy)
Let me down
I'm pulling up with Rachel, I'm a little unstable
I been drinking all day, I ain't mean nothing by it
I'm pulling up with Rachel, I'm a little
Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said, you're free to go
But look around, look around
I've been heating up, I've been gaining some traction
Big business meetings in the heart of Manhattan I'm on vacation, somewhere relaxing
As soon
Ayy, ayy, ayy
I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what's happenin'? (What's happenin'?)
You and your ass invited
So go on and get to clappin'
Without thinking I'm going there too
These are the promises you make
When your eyes are blinded by love
And the history of fate
When I hear you
planned out perfect
In case y'all niggaz got to get murdered
A Mastermind
Sleeps at night, real easy
A Mastermind
'Cause everything he does is by
the pain, adopted by guerrillas
Gotta tank for a car, ice for a arm
Got tattoos wit skin and scars from brawls
Got a buildin' for a crib, Manhattan for
you're not a writer it's time to pay the bag piper
You're just a biter a yo yo overnighter
[performed by Paulie Two Time]
I'm Manhattan bound watch
(keeping it real)
Yeah! (keeping it real)
Westside!
Is brooklyn in the house? (check it out)
What about queens in the house?!? (inglewood!)
Manhattan
adopted by guerillas
Gotta tank for a car, ice for a arm
Got tattoos wit' skin and scars from brawls
Gotta buildin' for a crib, Manhattan for a backyard
(Inglewood!!!)
Manhattan in the house?!? (South Central)
Long Island in the house?!? (Check it out)
Is the Bronx in the house?!? (Waddup)
Staten Island in
Ya don't know who I am
Who you
Let me introduce myself
I'm King Nino
Nino Brizzy Brown
New York
Manhattan
Lower East Side
Killer Hill
Rutgers
and makers gather to thrive
There's nothing like that New York drive
Diplomats meet at a river cafe
By a gallery where an artist paints
Ride the subway under
