Holding Me Down

The sustainer music. The two songs in front sound like intense Gamebreaker 2 music from NBA Street 2, God's very own game, while the last song is a chill-in-the-late afternoon type rap song with its laid back but intense lyrics and the chorus in tagalog. All the songs also simultaneously scream "Biker" and "Barbie" at me. MMMaybe I've just been spending way too much of my weekend time at Toys R Us.

Letssingit.com is the shit for finding lyrics.

Black Eyed Peas
"Anxiety"

I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and bitch slap somebody
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it (no, no, no)
Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I won't lose control bro (no, no, no)
Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain got an ich on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My bloods boiling its beatin' out propaine
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplaine

I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety

My head keeps running away my brother
The only thing making me stay my brother
But I won't give into it bro (no, no, no)
Gotta get myself back now
God, I can't let my mind be
Tell my enemy is my own
Gots to find my inner wealth
Gots to hold up my thoughts
I can't get caught (no, no, no)
I can't give into it now (no, no, no)
Emotions are trapped set on lock
Got my brain stuck goin through the motions
Only I know what's up
I'm filled up with pain
Tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn its a dead end infront of me
With nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety
Got me feelin' strange paranoia took over me
And its weighin' me down
And I can't run any longer, yo
Knees to the ground

I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety

Black Eyed Peas
"APL Song"

La-La-La�..

Lapit mga kaibigan
At makinig kayo (listen up yo)
Ako may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko
(Listen closely ya�ll)
Nais kung y pamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayari nagaganap sa lupang pinangako

(Yo every place got a ghetto, this� my version of it, check it out)
Listen closely ya�ll I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto
A life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
And God gave me the grace, amazing ways of livin�
How would you feel if you had to catch a meal
Build a hut to live in, to eat and chill in
Havin� to pump the water out of the ground
The way we put it down, you�d like what is around
Like land for farmin�, river for fishin�
Everyone helping each other whenever they can
We makin� it happen, from nothin� to somethin�
Thas� how we be survivin� back in my homeland

{Chorus}

(Yo it�s been a while but I�ve been back home to my homeland this whats goin� on)
Man it feels good to be back at home (back at home)
And it�s been a decade on the journey all alone
I was 14 when I first left Philippines
I�ve been away half my life and it felt like day
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal, man
I felt complete, my emotions I feel
Now life has changed for me in the u.s.
But back at home man (life was a mess,
I guess sometimes life�s stresses gets you down,
On your knees, o� brother wished I could have helped you out.)

{Chorus}
