Lirics

Keep your hands
The way that you dance,
The way that you move,
The way that you stare at me across the room,
You carry Dior bags,
And you got your Chanel,
You wear Louis Vuitton, ASG, and YSL,
Now I got what you need,
I got DC and Made,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain,
I got a model 26,
But she stays in her place,
I got a curve shirt neatly,
Tucked inside in my waist.

And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,
They say “Aha, ahha”,
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
They say “Aha, ahha”,
But the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
They say “Aha, ahha”,
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl.

Now she sweating my friends,
And my hurricane shoes,
She likes the records I spin,
My ADAM BARTON tattoos,
But she can’t say “what’s up”,
So what does she do,
She just stays posted up,
The other side of the room,
I got AMC tattooed on my hand,
I got black wall street on a black bandana.

She, she, she don’t wanna talk about it,
He, he, he wants to fight about,
Me, me, I don’t wanna fight about it,
I just wanna be about it,
I’m just trying to stay about it,
Step out the wagon,
You know the boy starts to hate,
The girl that came with him,
They like that’s not the boy she dates,
They get the fighting and swearing,
And now the boyfriend is staring,
The disco ball on the ceiling,
Looks like the chain that I’m wearing,
But the music keeps playing,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
from my neck and my chain,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
from my neck and my chain.

The river

As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
Have gone their separate ways
I’ve seen enough now
To know that beautiful things
Don’t always stay that way
I’ve done enough now
To know this beautiful place
Isn’t everything they say

I heard that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels
I’m walking towards the light

Baptized in the river
I’ve seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city with the sinner
I’ve done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I’m a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I’m trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I’m delivered
I’m delivered

[Avenged Sevenfold]
You’re from a small town
You’re gonna grow up fast
Underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood
On the boulevard
The dead come back to life

To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back
They’ll come home stronger
And if they don’t
You’ll know

Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered (on my own, on my own)

I confess I’m a sinner
I’ve seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered

the world is black

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing
It’s just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening
But it’s happening

And everywhere you go it’s just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment there’s no one to blame

But the world is black
And hearts are cold And there’s no hope
That’s what we’re told And we can’t go back
It won’t be the same Forever changed
By the things we’ve seen (seen)

Living in this place
It’s always been this way
There’s no one doing nothing
So there’s nothing changed
And I can’t live when this world
Just keeps dying
It’s dying
People always tell me, this is part of the plan
That God’s got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

But living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect
Now I see

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there’s no hope
That’s what we’re told
And we can’t go back
It won’t be the same
Forever changed
By the things we’ve seen (seen, seen)

We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment there’s no one to blame

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it’s just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening
