Looking To The Sky lyrics - C-block



[Chorus:Goldie]
I'm looking to the sky, looking to the sky (I'm looking to the sky) [x4]

[Red Dogg]
CBK sliding with th gangsta lead. I'm jonzin for the mic so call me Rap friend.
I'm clean like a new coupe, sitting on chrome so either drop bomb Rap on.
So take your punk ass back home. 'cause shady Rap's like a raggady car.
It ain't up to par you can't ride too far. Now R.E.D is droppin real as can be.
And I'm only loving God & my block family.

[Mr.P]
I'm coming off in the 9' series. So sucka's wanna hear me the layed back track's.
One time so they can fear me C.B.K. On the tone of another level I'm digging.
Deep in the dirt so I bring my shavel. Cause I'm setting then up as I kick my stuff.
Buffed up lyric's on the top of the charts. They make me bust not enough funky stuff. In the cut I want my piece, make them slide to the east. As the pain decease.

[Bridge:Goldie]
My pain is steady running through my brain, while the evils of this world keep callin out my name. Now I'm down on my knees, as a tear drops my eye. For the homie's who ain't livin, as I look to the sky.

[Chorus]

[Red Dogg]
I'm C-Blockin chin checkin. Fake nucka wreckin cus Reds on top.
So picture me in that direction, rollin. Foldin G's now my pockets, swollen.
If the sun catch you creepin, on my back door, I'm holdin.
I'm handlin my bid-ness did my time now I'm in this Rap game, like a burnin flame.
Won't stop til I win this, you can call me lucky. Dem bitches tried to buck me.
Livin life on a wire, till the power struck me.

[Mr.P]
Break it down, now as I funk shot up. Mr.P strivin hard to make you shake your rump. Bust the mode, we check down low, we give control.
The Hip Hop the Hop Hip's the Hit's & the soul, Yo! So check out the flavor.
That I gotta release, check the heat. From the beats that come of the street.
Now you know that we come from a distance. Now we locked & now we coped.
And now we twisted.

[Bridge / Chorus]

Time Is Tickin' Away lyrics - C-Block

[Intro]
Ahaha ahaha
keep it on, keep it on
keep your head on
time is tickin', time is tickin'
tickin' away
uhhohuho

[Rap 1]
Let's talk about time
tickin' away every day
so wake on up before it's gone away
catch the 411 and stay up like the sun
remind yourself what's done is done
so let yesterday stay with the bygones
keep your body and soul and your mind on
the right track infact you gotta stay on the real black
don't turn around and don't look back
we tryin' to take the positive to another level
Red Dogg diggin' deep Mr. P got the shouvel
I'll level with you I played in a foul picture
but now I got my mental sewel up like a stitcher
I used to be a "P" try on to clock "G's" living wild blast
you before you blast me thats the lifestyle
and I could see it on the evening news
it's just another brutha shot
on either stretched doin time

[Hookline]
Time is tickin' away
you've gotta - live your life
day by day
happy or sad, good or bad,
life is to short
you've gotta - keep your head [2x]

[Rap 2]
Keep your head one more time and feel the rythm
I'm tellin' your life is to short you know the feelin'
you want to do more your selfesteem is in the way
you better take a kid and live it day by day
but anyway I'm going for mine I'm still broke it's no joke
they still got me hangin' from the rope's
take time and still do the right thing
and not the wrong so listen to the word's of the song
Tick Tock your seconds away from the judgement day
so get your mind ready take the Evil's but out way
bring back we cut no slack we kick fact's
the positive message on this tracks is exact the way we feel it
in the nineteen 90's chillin' with red in the mix your find me - rewind me
and turn back my mind thinkin' about the homies
is the pen doing time

[Hookline]

Prayer
Once again
CBK on da track
to wake up your mind
who know what tomorrow night bring
violence - destruction - who knows?
'cause time is slippin' away

[Bridge]
The world keeps spinning
around and round
we've gotta keep ourselves
from going down
in a world full of passion,
pleasure and pain
the pressure's get into my brain

[Hookline 2x]

Round N Round lyrics - C-Block



[Red Dogg]
As I grip the microphone while you slip, I pick up the pieces. One time the honey did listen up, as I hit you with the funk stuff. It's like C-to the blam I hit the grandslam. Mr.P & I'm saying it loud.
Like I'm proud, can you see that I'm holdong it down from the clowns. MC Red in the house without a doubt, we going to show y'all. Tell y'all Busta's what it's all about. Cause we coming from the west & we moving to the east, going to let y'all know that I can compete as I speak. I'm coming with the street beat, we rollin deep I'm on Jeep's while ya creep. Or y'all feet. Is it bumping? (yeah) Is it bumping? (Yeah) Is the beat steady on the one steady thumping? (Yeah)
Cause we comin with the underground funky sound. It's the P. to the OP keepin it round.

[Bridge: Goldie]
Ridin in my Jeep, on the creep rollin deep. Deeper than the valley below. Rollin the cash, mashin on the gas. Slippin on the mask as we blast, Round N Round the world we go.

[Chorus: Goldie/Misty]
Round N Round N Round, pick yourself up off the ground. You've gotta be down if you really wanna ride with me. Round N Round N Round, what goes up, it must dome down. You gotta roll low if you really wanna stroll with me.

[Mr.P]
Raise them up, raise them up. Now bogy bang with my funk. It's the click Cell-Block, I do what other nigga's don't. Straight Pim to the Pin, I done blasted once before & I'm a blast the again. Hip Hop will never stop, I let's it fly like a kike, keep my toung laced tight. When it comes to the game so call me nike, tennis shoes, don't snooze. I bring the news, like the paperboy I'm out there collecting my dues. Pimp mentality, it's planty wild in me. I handle big with the homie. P.O.P-Pittsburgh P. Profilin C-Block stylin actin wildy. I spits my shit way the fuck out there like an island. Is it funky? (Yeah) Is it funky? (Yeah) Is the beat steady rockin like a junky? (Yeah) Relax your mind & let your concrons be free. Mr.P & Red Cell Block G

[Bridge / Chorus]

[Misty]
Funky G.

Everything's Good lyrics - C-Block

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking, pretty loud
My cat is purring and scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The bitch is hungry she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave it's time for a show

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning it starts to shout
Desire's coming it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking, pretty loud
My cat is purring and scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am

So Strung Out lyrics - C-Block

[Chorus]
I'm so strung out And now I don't know what to do
Should I take my life away Dear God or will you pull me through
I'm so strung out Some how my life has gone astray
So I lay me down to sleep
Please Lord now take my soul away

[Rap 1]
Now I'm all alone
Sittin' in my room in a corner
Starrin' at the wall and I'm wishing I was on a
Mission but I'm fishin' in an empty bowl
Cocain got my brain And I'm sweatin' 'cause I'm ice cold
Hold - on for a minute what's that sound
Raise up to my feet
Paranoid lookin' all around
Up down on the ground Is it reality?
Damn, I always feel like
Somebody's watchin' me
Now let me find another plan Lookin' for a plot
Lookin' for the man with the sack To get got
Shot Lay him down
'cause it don't be makin' me none
Cocain on my brain and I gotta get me some

[Chorus]

[Rap 2]
Another mystery
sittin' in another room At twelve noon
I hope something happen soon
I'm crawlin'
still burning my knee
at 45 degrees Saying please let it be
Something
In a form of a rock I can't stop
Because the spot getting hot tick tock
I see the devil clearer in my past It can't last
Because I'm running out of cash
A stash I remember
from December My mind gone blank And it could have been November
Now
as I feel myself blink
I look at the world one time and then I think

[Chorus (2x)]

I'm so strung out, I don't know what to do
Should I take away my life, dear God
Or will you pull me through, will you pull me through
I'm so strung out, I'm so strung out

I know that you know that I'm living real trife
So lay down that pipe And pick back up your life
Just take it away, please God just take it away
Won't you just give another day to me

[Chorus (2x)]

Being Raised lyrics - C-Block

Now I really don't care about
no nigga tryin to slang
and I really don't give a fuck
about no nigga tryin to Bang
'cause we got, hand times commin
down like rainy weather
we can buck N shoot em up
or we can all rize together
with the price in your eyes
the pep in our step I'm tryin to
spit the message out until I reach
my last breath my physical awarness
plus my continous mind pĆ¼lus the Live
microphone equals righteous rhyme
so you know I'm flowin' like H2O
then fountain non-stop to a thirsty soul
I be like, cupid draw back my bow
point it at your mind N let my fly rhyme go
'cause I, a man born to die small speak on
till I'm carried by six to my restin' home
'cause I'm a hoochy fader
devastader, real Busta Hater
the hommy's call me "G" 'cause I'm
g-g-greater on the microphone
splurgin cut snakes like a surgeon
and Busta you can't fade 'cause
I flow tight like a virgin
[Chorus:]
Being raised as a "G"
it ain't the easiest thang to be
Runnin' - Gunnin' - Ridin' - Rollin'
Hey-Aye It's got the best of me
As I grow you watch me come
with the smooth flow. Cause you
know Mr. P don't stop I let it go.
Now I'm comin up. Cause it's the thing
to do cause I brought yall on this track
you see I thought yall knew another black man
I got the master plan and I'm twisted comin
back so yall can understand because it's
in me I'm comin deep like the sea and
I'm swimmin in this mystical frame.
You see I'm off express mode cause I deliver
my own and I'm wishin and I'm hoping I can
sit on my throne, I'm all alone.
I'm pushing 2 times to yall dome.
It's my brain and I'm wishin you well can't
you feel that I was born I had the mission
right from the start then I carried it then
I burried it so listen up cause I got to tell
you one more time stay real and stay up
as I kick my rhyme's.
[Chorus]

Broken Wings lyrics - C-Block


[Hook Goldie:]
Take this broken wings and learn to fly again and learn to live so free
and when we here the voices sing the book of love will open up and let us in
so take these broken wings

[Rap1 Red Dogg:]
Creapin' up on the microphone, It's C-Block we dippin' clean
floss with the funky flavour down with Misty - N - Goldie G
we rippin this hit near rappin' the shit
we layin' the tracks and flippin' the script
droppin' the lyrics producin' a song
checked the mic 1-2 its' on
rigity Red, bigity Black, get up with this you can't go back
tisket tasked cock the hamma blast it
homies try to flex your pain rest in a casket
you're takin' a chance you're rollin' the dice
you loose your luck you loose your life
check yourself punk before a reck that ass punk
don't make me have to take you for a ride in my trunk
I said excuses, excuses, I'm not tryin' to hear your stle is boody
by nature so get on out here
ya said ya could have necked the mic but you came to late
you said you could hyped the crowd, but your shit sounds fake
you would have stepped up on the stage but you was scared to get slammed
you woulda, you coulda, you shoulda, but you didn't Damn!

[Hook Goldie:]
Take this broken wings and learn to fly again and learn to live so free
and when we here the voices sing the book of love will open up and let us in
so take these broken wings and learn to fly again and learn to live so free
so take this broken wings

[Rap2 Misty:]
Broken wings, symbolistic of another statistic
in this jungle scene gone ballistic
realisticly the buck stops on an innocent child
with the word "can't" spoken from a white smile
a system made to degrate dictate on the uneducated
and then wanna fade frustrated, brothas when they infiltrate it,
souls lost to blaze like bombay struttin with a sashay till doomsday per se
now I'ma flip this session over to the positive,
so listen closely to the message that I'm ganna give
I refuse to misuse my god given talent,
and induce to diffuse all those who are mad about it
and if you're seeking to take your life upon another status,
you need to believe that if you lean you need to get back it
and when you're struggling in this game, just put your head up high,
the skills will come to mend your wings and fly

[Hook x 2]

Eternal Grace lyrics - C-Block

As I look to the sky, throw my hands up and pray to Jesus to eas us
this pain is enough, believe us
Betreat us main from down on hell as you know,
it really would't ment for what's the beared down below
As I look to the sky, with the tear from my eye,
cause everyday we struggle and everyday we die, Why?
Are we forgivven for the glamour we gave to third life
I'm full's grifted death trapped in this mase
Wrest in peace to the real, Tupac Shakur resolecl like last week,
come back and give me more motivation, the real inspiration Yo,
the elevation of my soul to a high plato
Now, dear Lord, forgive us if we you I shoot to kill,
black on black crime has turn us apart for real.
I hope you feel my words fly. The fine eternal grace 'til you die

Eternal grace is coming down to take my pain away
I will stay strong, I will go on, to find eternal grace

I'm praying on my knees for my folks and my enemies
G.O.D. can you please help me?
I say that live is too much pain goin' insane,
the sewaside thoughts runnin' round and thrue my brain
I look into the mirror, but what that i see?
A man try to bee free from inside me.
Seperate the game from reality, now I know
I too come up from down below. Then my life on slow,
keep them drugs on my flow. It's my life!
and now it's time to take control,
the game is complexed for your mind and your health,
so find eternal grace for your self

Eternal grace is coming down to take my pain away
I will stay strong, I will go on, to find eternal grace
Eternal grace is coming down to take my pain away
I will stay strong, I will go on, to find eternal grace

Keep Movin' lyrics - C-Block

[Chorus:]
I gotta keep movin', up and down this life
I gotta keep movin', leave the past behind
And do all it should be done, to live my life and have some fun
Life is how you make it, so take it

Gotta lay the past behind, what's on my mind,
It's the rime shinin, clinin, I'm pporing on a way to the top
With CBK-style with the club hiphop
I bring it back, put it down the line

So leave the past behind, cause that's the way it's done,

I gotta keep movin, up and down this life

The Future Is So Bright lyrics - C-Block

The future is so bright, everyday & everynight.
Every night & day, I can find my way.
To where I wanna go & what I wanna find.
What I wanna do, as I leave the past behind.

Baby, baby, I was out of reach.
Till you came & showed me what it means.
You told me that, the future's my believe.

And it's a scene that you play in your life.
Making people scream for more & they say the clock is hot.
Still, I'm moving on from the night before & watch you see change into the nightdraw.
Now can you help me? I take it day by day.
In a time & I felt it.
So can I find my own, anytime?
Relax my mind & then my own mind.

The future is so bright, everyday & everynight.
Every night & day, I can find my way.
To where I wanna go & what I wanna find.

[Rap1a Red Dogg:]
Yeah, we representin with this Bee Gee's thang,
CBK is what I'm screaming that's the click I claim
I keeps my head up game tight errect be my spine

[Hook]

[Rap 2a Red Dogg:]
I'm holding everything down blessed by the man
tryin to maintain sight n keep the upper hand in this dirty game
whwre nothing ever seem to change, bustas acting kinda shady
like they minds rearrenged

turn your back and walk away from the click you claim
and as the clock continues to turn you let the bridges burn
you wasn't worthy of the love that we CBK earned

[Rap 2b Goldie:]
Jealousy and envy it is the public enemy
I try to always love becuz it's in me
a lot of MC's produce key's of negetivity
but I'm stay real so you can feel my positivity
love their neighbour show respect till the end
everyone you meet you can't truss the like they can
look to the hills from whence cometh' all
live, pray and prosper or fall

[Hook 'til end]
