1. HEAVEN AND HELL

Heaven And Hell lyrics

Like mother nature's animal
I'm under the spell
It's just a more raw hit
For those who'll fly to hell
I'm a fighter, a lighter
A warpaint winner to the end
In broken whispering with flames
I seduce my brain

Somewhere between...
Heaven and hell
Minds collide between...
Heaven and hell
Worlds collide between...
Heaven and hell

Doom-shattered lady
I hear thy will
3 gets 4 and 10-tons
Roll down brain's hills
Try to break me, shake me
I survive, grey without a hideaway
Sadistic teaser
In a glorious blend

Somewhere between...
Heaven and hell
Minds collide between...
Heaven and hell
Worlds collide between...
Heaven and hell

2. AIRPLANES I

Airplanes Part 1 lyrics

[Chorus Hayley Williams]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)

[Verse 1 B.o.B]
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when youre staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But thats just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry Im late
Im on my way so dont close that gate
If I dont make that then Ill switch my flight
And Ill be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus Hayley Williams]

[Verse 2 B.o.B]
Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin to stay relevant
Im guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe Ill go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when aint nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, whats up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
Im hopin we can make some wishes outta airplanes?

3. AIRPLANES II


(Hayley Williams)

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now

(Dreamin’)
(Of fallin’)
(Dreamin’)
(Of fallin’)

(B.o.B)

Let’s pretend like it’s ’98
Like I’m eatin’ lunch off of Stryofoam trays
Tryna be the next rapper comin’ out the A (A-Town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Now let’s pretend like I’m on the stage
And when my beat drops, everybody goes insane
(Okay) And everybody know my name (B.o.B)
And everywhere I go, people wanna hear me sing
Oh, yeah, I just dropped my new album
On my first week, I did 500,000 (Yes)
Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour just to top it all off
And let’s pretend that they call me the greatest
Sellin’ out arenas with big-ass stages
And everybody loved me, and nobody hated
Just tryna use imagination

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)

(Okay) Let’s pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didn’t write raps up in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away into the blackness
Now, let’s pretend like it was all good (Good)
Like I didn’t live starin’ in the notebook (Notebook)
Like I did the things that I prolly knew I should (Should)
But I ain’t have neighbors, that’s why they call it hood
(Yeah) Now let’s pretend like I ain’t got a name
Before they ever called me B.o.B or AKA Bobby Ray
I’m talkin’ back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre (Three Stacks)
Before I ever got on MySpace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let’s just pretend
And make wishes out of airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)

And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone
They’re just memories

And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone

(Eminem)

Let’s pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let’s pretend things would’ve been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper-thin
They could blow ‘way with the wind
Marshall, you’re never gonna make it
Makes no sense to play the game, ain’t no way that you’ll win
Pretend he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn’t time to move and schools weren’t changin’ again
He wasn’t socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn’t crazy as shit
And he never dreamed that he could rip stadiums
And just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium, bitch
You won’t amount to shit, quit daydreamin’, kid
You need to get your cranium checked
You’re thinkin’ like an alien, it just ain’t realistic
Now pretend that they ain’t just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he’s pissed at
And his alarm went off to wake him
But he didn’t make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He’s gon’ have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Laney
These food stamps and this WIC shit
‘Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But it didn’t fall in his lap, so he ain’t even here
He pretends that

Airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now

4. FIFTH DIMENSION



Ooohhh B.o.B,
Whats up whats down,
Ladies and gentleman, we are entering, the 5th dimension,
Right on right on, B.o.B. B.o.B give it to em

Girl I'm eons and eons beyond these be-ons, another human like me there will never be one,
The planet that I be on, I can never speak on,
The stars is what I sleep on, the moon I put my feet on
The way my aura glows you'd swear I'm made of neon, cooler than the free-on that's in your dodge neon
The say the futures now to me it hasn't begun, stay tuned to me and there will never be a re-run
So come and leap on my body, and as we come you'll prolly feel moist like the trees on the tropics
We gone, we out it, no we don't need rockets, no we hop on the mother ship and we gone, we slide it
We slippin thru the nitches, we hyperspace glidin, blasting thru the atmosphere, fighting in the lightning
I know im out my mind girl, but you know you like it, so hop up on my cosmic highway so we can ride it

Short are you going my way, oohhh
I wanna ride on your cosmic highway
Ohhhhh lets go, Ohhhhh lets go
Shorty I cant stay here on the earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Fresh up out the sky im like a meteorite, so in the studio no I don't need to go right
I just came up in the game cuz you needed more light, so by the time youre done there wont be no more mic
And people ask me bob what kinda language is that, cuz I be blasted to da future I may never come back
And im a leave with a 30 thousand light year lead, headed to a distant planet called B.o.B.
And then im gone, man they're not ignoring it, taking off from half court, air Jordan it
All systems is go in 10 seconds im orderin, hanging from the cosmos like a space ornament
Heat in my left pocket left hand, oh yea I bring the pain, similar to an asteroid that's headed toward your brain
My lane, is something that they really cannot explain, they try to hold me down but its me they cant contain

Short are you going my way, oohhh
I wanna ride on your cosmic highway
Ohhhhh lets go, Ohhhhh lets go
Shorty I cant stay here on the earth no more
Another galaxy we must go
Come and go with me, ill take you to my galaxy
Im talking bout venus, venus, Jupiter, Jupiter, mars, mars
And im sayin girl lets ride all night, and I need ya cuz this ship love to take flight
Lets go, Lets go, come on baby lemme take it off, another second we gon' blast it off

Short are you going my way, oohhh
Come and ride on my cosmic highway
Ohhhhh lets go, Ohhhhh lets go
Shorty I cant stay here on the earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

I,ll be in the sky
I,ll be there
Ooh all right
(x2)

I'll be in the sky

yea yea yea
yea yea yea
yea
I'll be in the sky
(x2)

Remember when i leave,

That the one in the mirror aint me,

Its just someone that i call B.O.B,

Its kinda me but its not,

Its just a mask that i got,

So that i can rap and get off my block,

Reminiscin my past when i was a todler,

Sittin in grass and playin with blocks,

Failing my classes now im on lockdown,

Now writin and readin alot,
Money and weed is in my shoe box now,

While im tryina get me a glock,

Cause i thought i was at the end of my line,

Then i find out it was all in my mind,

Thats why im guilty and outta fuel,

We all gon die and leave from here like

I was a man with no name,

now ima drippin in mo fame,

But all of this aint gonna matter when i a die and say good bye so long,

Sianara ill have to catch you tomorra baby cause baby,

I,ll be in the sky
I,ll be there
Ooh all right
(x2)

I'll be in the sky

yea yea yea
yea yea yea
yea
I'll be in the sky
(x2)

Everyone here gonna die one day,

So while im here ima find my way,

Thats my fortay,

thats why im here,

shit to open up your ears,

and speak this real.

Beatin down the block with a shoot ya,

the gold teeth dont really match with the suit,

Nowerdays folk would rather rap than go to school,

Cause they feel that if they black then they gotta have it too,

But yall dont really seen that there,

After all everybody wanna kick back,

They wanna sit back,

They wanna sit woose,

They wanna get down,

They wanna get loose,

They wanna get blown,

They wanna see the truth,

They wanna get old just like you,

But since they aint nobody gon be responsable,

Ima gonna have to be the one to show,

I was a man with no name,

now ima drippin in mo fame,

But all of this aint gonna matter when i a die and say good bye so long,

Sianara ill have to catch you tomorra baby cause baby,

I,ll be there
Ooh all right

7. SING MT SONG


My name is Bob
and I don't have a job

[chorus]

I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song
It's why I sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song
it's why I sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song

[verse 1]

Catch me cruisin through Decatur with my streetwalkers
spittin, pimpin at these women, ain't a sweet talker
a young country boy, came up out the creekwater
what a grizzly boy, lookin like a beast on it
now I don't like the law, so fuck the police department
pullin me over, and I don't even be speedin on em
Well I think it's cause they don't like me, well me so sorry
cause I got all the caucasians saying that he's so bossy
well long story short, this is me and I'm bossy
If I wasn't smokin weed, then I'd be drinking coffee
well pour this in my cup, just to show I give a fuck bout what ya'll be thinkin nd what I'm sayin, gone and zip it up

I don't even know why I'm in this goddamn booth

[chorus[

but it's the reason why I sing my song
it's why i sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song
it's why I sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song

[verse 2]
If you ain't noticed I don't really give a damn
this life's too hard to follow rules and be takin exams
so I decided to do music just to make some fans
so while I got the mic I want to say fuck Uncle Sam
I just think of crazy shit and try to make it jam
so when I'm tired of rappin I sing the best I can
simpy cause I ain't got nothin better to do with time
I'd rather producin rhymes than slangin and shootin dimes
I ain't really got nothin else to say but I'll finish it
just to show ya'll how ya'll can benefit if I'm generous
I'll just write a verse, sit back and collect percentages
It's 4 o'clock and I don't even think I'm finished yet

[chorus]
but it's the reason why I sing my song
it's why i sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song
it's why I sing my song
I don't know why I say these things
but it's the reason why I sing my song

It's why I sing my song
It's why I sing my song
It's why I sing my song
my song
my song
my song

8. NOTHING ON YOU


[Chorus- Bruno Mars] (B.o.B)
Beautiful girls all over the world, I could be chasing
But my time would be wasted, they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry, about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby (Yeah)
Nothing on you, baby (N-n-n-nothing on you baby, n-nothing on you)

[Verse 1- B.o.B]
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On a carousel, so around I spun
With no direction, just tryna get some
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun
And so I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly, I ended up with none

[Bridge- Bruno Mars]
It's so much nonsense, it's on my conscience
I'm thinking "maybe I should get it out"
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering, if there was something that you wanna know
But never mind that, we should let it go
Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode
And all the bad thoughts, just let ;em go, go, go

[Chorus]

[Verse 2- B.o.B]
Hands down, there will never be another one (nope)
I've been around, and I've never seen another one (never)
Because your style, I ain't really got nothin' on (nothing)
And you wild when you ain't got nothin' on? (haha)
Baby you the whole package
Plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real, while them others stay plastic
You're my Wonder Woman, call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop- now think about it

[Bridge 2- B.o.B.]
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia, to New Orleans
But you always steal the show
And just like that girl, you got me froze
Like a Nintendo 64
If you never knew, well, now you know, know, know

[Chorus]

[Bridge 3- B.o.B]
Everywhere I go, I'm always hearing your name
And no matter where I'm at, girl you make me wanna sing
Whether a bus or a plane, or a car, or a train
No other girl's on my brain, and you the one to blame

[Chorus]

[B.o.B]
Yeah (laughing)
And that's just how we do it (laughing)
And I'ma just let this ride
B.o.B
And Bruno Mars
