Passion
Pigeon John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up and i break or die
so far i have known your face
soakin in my time and time
wrapped up in my endless pace
wake up

bombed since the very first time
keep runnin' and gunnin' in your own shine
don't mind what you see cuz it never takes time
the will to succeed will make the first dime
brush alongside the whole world wide
bounce to the rythm and slip to collide
every single molecule in my body was made to move
mingle with no intention it always shall improve
slip in the back to get the format
i seen her standin there walk on my floor mat
what can i do when my whole world crumbles apart?
follow along (break) in trins to be a part
im whirlin wide, completely tied
follow along (break) in trins to be a part
rollin in with his bright chauffer
now tell me again what do you have to offer?

Chorus:
Wake up and i break or die
so far i have known your face
soakin in my time and time
wrapped up in my endless pace
wake up and i break or die
so far i have known your face
soakin in my time and time
wrapped up in my endless pace

in the year i approach 21
i am young and i sing the songs never sung
with no money and no gun but the voice of a cauc-
asian who can only rock mics nonstop
you can ask my pop when he does the moonwalk
we can pack the room so the doorways are blocked
pigeon john makes the ladies swoon
faint
an emcee but first he's the down-to-earth saint
with the microphone i re-a-cquaint
my self unblemished
no taint
paint me as you want if i stand or sit
may i pose only Christ with my life portrait
its the way of a pilgrim
i progress
when i love God's children
then find rest
they shall be blest
and if they laugh and spit in your face
you can remember His grace
passionate

chorus

drivin along listen to songs of questions
the world turn around who are you? question
will you be my my girl buggaboo? question
allow john to make a small suggestion
carpe diem up in the fly PM
cant you see? i am a lay symptiem
see cuz all everybody really want is to be loved
and we'll kill if we have to, scratch the dove

i do not have a car but i dont feel the pain
i walk real slow in the snow and the rain
to chicago and wells and i step on the train
everybody's loud, im lost in the crowd
97 people i know not one name
i look out the window, my thoughts unrestrained
God, its rather plain what i want in this life
to rap with my kids and swing dance with my wife





chorus (x2

@KapersandCorn The original was made famous by Paul Simon. It's called "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". I've thought for a long time that somebody should sample it, I'm glad to know a few people already have. Of course that won't stop me from doing it too...
