Before Dark - No Doubt lyrics
[Jean Grae]
 I ain't afraid to shine different.. c'mon
 Devoted life to the dream of lights and fortune and fame
 I might just gain the vision, or just might be livin in vain
 See in the game it's cool strolls and platinum thugs
 Stack the cash, drugs and women; bubble in crime, trouble in time
 I stay humble with mine, had drama for words
 Encountered some birds who tried to take the shine
 But I'm illuminatin like a thousand frozen wrists in the glint of the sun
 Worth the Franklin Mint and Wall Street combined into one
 They can't see it yet though, different like niggaz sayin petrol
 for gas, english metric system, graded on the past
 Just tryin to reach y'all, no one's at my arms length
 Wanna stay in the race but slowly runnin out of breath
 They all alike, can't understand, maybe it's safest
 to play the role and be another glitch in The Matrix
 Repetitive flow, embedded in dough
 I run the risk of pissin everybody off, but I don't care if you know
 [Chorus: Jean Grae]
 Yo I'm on the line like white, china, table
 Lay it all out for the shit; nigga, no, doubt
 Fuck real, I'm right, told you the last time man
 Fuck y'all, say it
 Bring it, lay it all out for the shit; nigga, no, doubt
 Fuck real, I'm right, told you the last time
 Things ain't different, say it
 Bring it, I'm on, now
 [Jean Grae]
 Quit for good, too many times, shit maybe I should
 But it won't prevent rejection reappearin in life
 I even lay the toughest down for you
 Paint the ground blood pink for you, only so that you feel me rightBefore Dark - No Doubt - http://motolyrics.com/before-dark/no-doubt-lyrics.html
 Then hear me tight from the ills perhaps
 But not a lot of scenes like movie stills are fleein from fiends and caps
 I had, thrills and high spills, couple of hot chases
 Romance with Jacks, Jills in dirty places
 No jail cell been filled and no court cases
 But committed murder of flesh, two of my own faces
 At best I'm, a dime each, not a dozen, never cheap
 Fornicated adultery once and now I never cheat
 Younger sibling or two, family disfunctional
 Problem with bein on time, hardly ever punctual
 Punchclocks give me the runs, just not in my blood Akki
 Y'all flashin guns at me, time to go? Let it be
[Chorus]
 [Jean Grae]
 See I got these bill collectors, practically at the door chillin
 I can't explain to Visa how I'm tryin to stack a million
 Hustle on the side for chump change, it's not big time
 I only do it for fries, chicken and wine and hump days
 Reality spit, dudes and rap bitches sick of me
 And if they right, they still print, I'm tryin to do calligraphy
 All real, sit up just all night, just thinkin it's all wrong
 Won't sleep 'til everything's alright
 I made brush fire noise; I need four alarm
 Three A.M. on the lawn with two kids and one slipper on
 Blaze now, your days phase out like old sitcoms
 Tryin to save the show by puttin new fuckin kids on
 Love me or not, respect it for what it's worth
 I'm like a bundle of dough in a knot in a purse under your cot
 Undiscovered lines like connectin the dots
 It's gonna happen, sooner or later
 Fuck rappin, just givin data
[Chorus]
