Or Nah Lyrics

Don't fight the feelin', try, don't fight the feelin'

Say, my life is like a movie, nigga, fuckin' every day
Fuckin' every day, nigga, fuckin' every day
Say, my life is like a movie, nigga, fuckin' every day
Missionary, doggy style, nigga, fuckin' every way

I'm not the nigga you thought that
That trickin', we off that, I hit that, no call back
She ratchet, I like it, I hold it, she bite it
She lick it and suck it, I fuck it, he wife it
No feelings for a ho that ain't my main thing
My niggas on the same thing, all my niggas gang bang
Bitches do choke, this is my boo
Two C's on that bag but she throw a Piru
And we off that Cîroc, she don't mind it I do
Her girlfriend a thot, tell her hop in my coupé
Tell her hop in my bed, tell her hop off my roof
My baby-mama trippin' and that bitch can shoot

You gon' let me hit Or Nah?
"Can I get the dick or nah?"
You gon' let me watch you strip or nah?
"Can a bitch get a fit or nah?"

Girl, once you get it, you got it, foreva
Or nah, so let me hit it
Girl, once you get it, you got it, foreva
Aw, girl, so let me hit it

If he let a nigga come through

Girl, I promise, I'm a be the only thing you want to do
Makin' you forgot about your niggas automatic

Bitch a problem, bitch, you better follow me
I give you this dick, you hit the lottery
I know all the stars, astrology
Last deposit, fucked up the whole economy
Get that, spent twenty-ten, bitch-nigga
Kush piffany, every white string infinite
You different, last night, niggas picturin'
Seven times, had a black chick tryin' white shit
Fatal Lines, I’m the future, real beef, I’ll shoot you
Walk-walk, no talk-talk, no sub and no woofers
It's on, tell by my tone
Real nigga call, better answer your phone

You gon' let me hit or nah?
"Can I get the dick or nah?"
You gon' let me watch you strip or nah?
"Can a bitch get a fit or nah?"

Girl, once you get it, you got it, foreva
Or nah, so let me hit it
Girl, once you get it, you got it, foreva
Aw, girl, so let me hit it

You gon' be a nigga's bitch or nah?
You gon' let a nigga hit or nah?
What you sayin', know you're with it so why you playin'?
Bitch, you better fuck a rich nigga while you can

Wait up, just tell me you with it or let me get it
Baby, you can skip the bullshit and let me hit it
Three pills down, got me rollin' like (?)
Keep playin' games but you know that you a flip
Hold up, bitch, quit playin' and give it up

Let a nigga hit that shit, you like to fuck

Or Nah Song Chart

The second single from Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf, this features additional vocals from Game's rapper colleagues Too $hort, Problem, AV and singer-songwriter Eric Bellinger. The cut includes a feature from Problem, because the Compton spitter wanted to "get it in with my friends."

The track borrows heavily from Too $hort's 1989 track "Don't Fight the Feelin.'"

The Matt Alonzo-directed video finds Game at a debauchery-themed party surrounded by scantily clad women. "Ever since we did 'Dope Boys,' 'Martians Vs Goblins' and 'Celebration,' [Matt Alonzo] has been my go to director," the rapper told MTV News. "He writes the treatment and I just show up at the video and it always turns out cool. You've gotta trust your team."

Shot In The Dark Lyrics

Out on the street, I'm stalking the night,
I can hear my heavy breathing.
Paid for the kill but it doesn't seem right;
something there I can believe in .

Voices are calling from inside my head.
I can hear them, I can hear them,
vanishing memories of things that were said,
they can't try to hurt me now.

But a Shot In The Dark, one step away from you.
A shot in the dark, always creeping up on you

Taught by the powers that preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn't listen I learnt how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason

But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

The girl in the video was a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams.

Ozzy's guitarist at the time was Jake E. Lee. He would leave after The Ultimate Sin album, replaced by Zakk Wylde .

The original cover for the album was pulled because the girl had no pants on and there were 3 crucifixes on top a hill in the background. (thanks, Terry - Belleville, Canada)

Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene Lyrics

I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
No more alone or myself could I be
Looks like a strain to the arms it were open
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

The female character on this track is portaged by Hozier as a lover with a mean tongue. He told The Cut: "There's probably a lot of Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man in that song. I suppose it's about feeling liberation... and a woman whose references might be questionable at best."

James Joyce's 1916 semiautobiographical novel Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man was a very strong influence on Hozier when writing the songs for his debut album. He explained to The Cut: "It's very much about a man's struggle to find his own identity in an oppressive culture of church, in an age influenced heavily by the Catholic church and a nationalism that he just wants to be free of."

I Don't Want To Change The World Lyrics

Standing at the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care

Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world

I Don't Want To Change The World Song Chart

The version on his 1993 album Live And Loud won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance. He got another Grammy in 2000 when Black Sabbath won the same award for "Iron Man," from their Reunion album.

No More Tears was the first album Ozzy released after he went sober. His songs became more personal and reflective as he wrote more about his life, or at least what he could remember.

Up to this point, Ozzy's albums usually had demonic titles and artwork. This was his first with no reference to evil or insanity.

Ozzy planned to retire and spend time with his family after touring to support this album. He called it the "No More Tours" tour, but came back 2 years later with the "Retirement Sucks" tour when he got bored.

Cherry Wine Lyrics

Cherry Wine Song Chart

This raw emotional song was recorded live in the early morning on an abandoned hotel rooftop accompanied by the dawn chorus. Hozier recalled during a gig at Boston's Café 939. "It was like five in the morning and I was so tired… and it ended up on the first EP!"

The song was written by Hozier from the male perspective of an abuse sufferer. The violence is excused by the victim as he is apparently captivated by her raw emotionality.

Hozier said: "With the song 'Cherry Wine,' I tried to get across the difficulty of coming to terms with and facing up to domestic violence and the dynamic of an abusive relationship."

The track was released as a charity single on February 12, 2016 to benefit domestic abuse charities worldwide, including Women's Aid in the UK.

The song's music video was shot by Irish director Dearbhla Walsh. It stars Saoirse Ronan as a woman dealing with a physically abusive relationship. The actress is known for her roles as Briony Tallis in Atonement (2007) and Eilis Lacey in Brooklyn (2015). Actor Moe Dunford (Vikings, Game Of Thrones) plays her violent partner.

Flying High Again Lyrics

Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
'Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear

Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me, Flying High Again

I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy (You bet)

Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is read
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me

Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me

Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said

Mamma's gonna worry
I've been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' I enjoy

Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again

Flying High Again Song Chart

This song is about drug use, a subject Ozzy Osbourne knows very well. Until he went completely sober in 1991, Ozzy spent a lot of time under the influence.

The lyric, however, was written mostly by Bob Daisley , who was Ozzy's bass player and lyricist. Daisley says it was inspired by time when he was playing in Australia, and he got into a discussion about drugs with a "straight" fellow.

Although it was a big part of his life, few of Ozzy's songs are about drugs. "Road To Nowhere," from 1991, is about his life before he went sober, and two songs he did with Black Sabbath were about drugs: "Snowblind"(cocaine) and "Sweet Leaf"(Marijuana).

Speaking with Spin in 1986, Ozzy said: "When I was a drug addict, I used to write things like 'Flying High Again,' 'Snowblind,' all this s--t. And the other night, I thought, 'F--king' 'ell, I sing one song for it and then straight after I sing one song against it.' But the thing is, that's OK. Because that was where I was when I wrote that, so why shouldn't I do it? It's part of my life."

Randy Rhoads played guitar on this song and co-wrote it with Ozzy, Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake. Diary of a Madman is the last album Rhoads played on; he died the next year while the band was touring in Florida. Rhoads was in a small plane that started buzzing Ozzy's tour bus. It got too close, clipped the bus, and crashed into a house; killing Rhoads, the pilot, and the tour hairdresser.

This was included on Tribute, a double-album of live tracks featuring Rhoads on guitar. Ozzy selected the tracks with the help of Rhoads' mom, and released it in 1987.

In the UK, this song was released as a single, but it didn't chart.

The album was digitally remastered and re-released in 2002.

Vile covered this for the 1999 collection Land of the Wizard: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

Gonna Know We Were Here Lyrics

You got the gas
I got the matches
We gonna turn this town to ashes
'Cause they ain't never seen nothing like us
Ain't heard loud till we turn it up
I got the wild
You got the crazy
You know that's why I love you baby
'Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine
Pedal to the metal, keep your throttle down all night
And we only get one life

Ain't scared to ride this train
Make a few marks, leave a few stains
Might slam just a little too hard
Might take it just a little too far
Might burn out like a firework,
Like a shooting star across the sky
And we may not be around in 20 years but they're sure Gonna Know We Were Here
Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here

People talk girl
You know damn well
When they got a good tale to tell
Let's give them something they ain't never seen
A little rated R redneck dream
Let's blaze a trail through the dirty south
Or give them something they can talk about
A little story that they won't forget
Long after we ride off into the sunset
Baby, 'cause we ain't dead yet, baby

Ain't scared to ride this train
Make a few marks, leave a few stains
Might slam just a little too hard
Might take it just a little too far
Might burn out like a firework,
Like a shooting star across the sky
Yeah we may not be around in 20 years, but they're sure gonna know we were here

We only get one chance around
This runaway roller coaster train
And it ain't slowing down
So baby let go and remember our name

Ain't scared to ride this train
Make a few marks, leave a few stains
Might slam just a little too hard
Might take it just a little too far
Might burn out like a firework,
Like a shooting star across the sky
Yeah we may not be around in 20 years
No, we may not be around in 20 years, but they're sure gonna know we were here
Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here

Gonna Know We Were Here Song Chart

This song about leaving your mark was written by:

Brett Beavers, who has produced and co-written several of Dierk Bentley's country #1 songs, including "Come A Little Closer," "Feel That Fire" and "Sideways."

Brett James, who has penned country chart-toppers for Jessica Andrews ("Who I Am"), Martina McBride ("Blessed"), Kenny Chesney ("Out Last Night," "Reality") Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker ("When the Sun Goes Down"), Carrie Underwood ("Jesus, Take The Wheel," "Cowboy Casanova,") Rodney Atkins ("It's America"), Jason Aldean ("The Truth"), Chris Young ("The Man I Want to Be") and Miranda Lambert & Carrie Underwood ("Somethin' Bad").

Jason Aldean explained the song's meaning to Entertainment.ie : "In the grand scheme of these we're here for a short period of time and 'Gonna Know We Here' is that type of song where it's like we may not be here for very long, but we're going to make the best of it while we are," he said. "By the time we leave, we're going to make some noise and people are going to remember us and I think everybody wants to feel that way and you don't want to feel like you rolled through life and when it's over like nobody cares."

"You want to leave your mark and I think the song 'Gonna Know We Here' is about doing that," Aldean added; "it's about making the best of your time and leaving your mark on the world."

This song originated with Brett Beavers' contemplations on mortality and the fact that as people pass, most of their contributions to the world are lost or forgotten. "I had that thought rolling around in my head for a while from a spiritual standpoint, like, 'Hey, 100 years from now it's not going to matter,'" he told Billboard magazine. "I kind of coupled that with wanting to leave a mark. We want to do something significant or something to where they'll remember us."

Beavers brought up the idea when he arrived for a writing appointment at the home of Brett James. "We kind of got into a long, deep conversation about that," James recalled. "'How much of our existence is going to be remembered long term?' We had a conversation about that, and then it turned into a Bonnie & Clyde, tear-up-the-world kind of song."

As the duo started working on the song a 'Let's live fast' theme developed. "It's not necessarily 'live fast, die young,' but if we do [die young], that's OK," said James. "Overall, it's a personality rather than a specific lyric."

The Shaun Silva-directed music video finds Aldean taking a stroll down memory lane at the high school that he attended - Windsor Academy in Macon, Georgia. The clip also shows footage of a football game that was played at the school's homecoming event.

"This song pretty much sums up how I feel like me and my fans live our lives," Aldean said. "That same excitement is what we feel out there on the road every night... It was pretty cool that we could bring that vibe to the music video, too, by shooting it back in Macon with a ton of people from my hometown. Getting back there and on that high school football field really reminded me of that rush of just living life without any regrets."

Road To Nowhere Lyrics

I was looking back on my life
And all the things I've done to me
I'm still looking for the answers
And I'm still searching for the key

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The Road To Nowhere leads to me

Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me

Ah ah, the road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Ah ah, I hope we never have to say goodbye
I never want to live without you

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me

The road to nowhere leads to me
The road to nowhere leads to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
The road to nowhere leads to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
Ah, the road to nowhere

Little May are an Australian folk-rock trio, comprising vocalist Hannah Field and guitarists Liz Drummond and Annie Hamilton. Drummond told Billboard magazine that she penned this song in an hour after the girls had been inspired by listening to Big Scary's "Thinking About You."

Field nailed the vocals on her first attempt. "Hannah's lyrics are exactly the same as when she first sang them," Drummond said. "She's good like that. We recorded it on a voice memo and over time, re-jigged the structure and built upon it during rehearsals."

So Tired Lyrics

Time has come to say goodbye
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love that just isn't enough

I am So Tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tried
And I always thought we would see it through

I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
You'll leave tomorrow - now tomorrow's today

And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you were out with you know who

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tried
And I always thought we would see it through

So Tired Song Chart

Even the Prince of Darkness needs to slow it down sometimes, and in this ballad, Ozzy finds himself tired of waiting around for his girl, as it dawns on him that she is probably cheating.

A minor hit in the UK, it was one of the first successful ballads Osbourne released, prompting him to mix in more slow songs with his rockers on future albums, letting his sensitive side come forth on songs like "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and "Road To Nowhere."

Ozzy was backed up by a string section on this track that was arranged by Louis Clark, famous for his work with Electric Light Orchestra.

Like all songs on the Bark at the Moon album, Osbourne is listed as the sole songwriter on "So Tired," but he got significant help with the writing from his guitarist Jake E. Lee and bass player Bob Daisley. In his Songfacts interview, Daisley explained that because of conflicts with publishing companies, he and Lee agreed to forgo credits and royalties in exchange for flat payments.

In the video, Ozzy plays all the main characters, like Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor.

A piece of glass lodged in Ozzy's throat when he was doing a scene for the video where a mirror breaks. He had to postpone some shows, but did fully recover.

I never was a cool kid
No one ever really gave a damn what I did
I loved to party, but I never got invited
Alone again so, me, myself and I

Tried karaoke
But they told me I was only ok
I guess I never should have sang Beyonce or MJ
So I dropped the mic

Oh, yeah
All the people in the bar turned 'round and stared
I was on my knees and whipping round my hair
And I knew that I was winning

Close my eyes and see the crowd
But my fingers don't make any sound
My Air Guitar

I keep it with me night and day
You won't believe the way that I can play
My air guitar
Air guitar
Like this

(Bom chicka wah wah)

In my head I am a rock star
And I probably date a popstar
A popstar and a model on the side

I know I'll never make it
But tonight I'm good enough to fake it
Bend an imaginary string and break it, replace it
In the backstage of my mind

But I know my friends all think I'm living such a lie
But the lie they think I'm living gets me high
It's the gift that keeps on giving

Close my eyes and see the crowd
But my fingers don't make any sound
My air guitar

Jimmy Page and Brian May
Won't believe the way that I can play
My air guitar
Air guitar
Like this

And you think there's nothing there
It's simply made of air
You laugh but you're just scared
Try it if you dare

Air guitar
Air guitar
I take it with me everywhere
Yeah, but you don't even know it's there
My air guitar
Air guitar

Close my eyes and see the crowd
But my fingers don't make any sound

You won't believe the way that I can play

McBusted are a supergroup comprising Matt Willis and James Bourne of Busted, and Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter of McFly. This is the first single released by the band after they embarked on a huge Arena tour earlier in 2014 selling out an 35 dates and 350,000 tickets.

The rock anthem began with Tom Fletcher. "I was like, how has this song never been written before?'" he said.

Fletcher brought his demo to the remaining McBusted members, who immediately fell in love with it and decided to record the tune for their first single. "It's such a brilliant idea for a song," said Matt Willis. " I was furious when Tom came up with it, obviously. I love it."

McBusted had to make a dramatic last-minute revision to the song. The original version included a brief sample of the hit "Crazy In Love," where the group sung: "I guess I never shoulda sang Beyoncé - uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no." But after taking legal advice they decided to drop those lyrics and replace them with a reference to Michael Jackson.

McFly and Busted released separate mixes of the song. Both versions were made available on iTunes.

One Shining Moment Song Chart

This is used as the rollout to the Men's Basketball Final 4 coverage on CBS at the end of the tournament. CBS started playing this with their video montages at the end of the games in 1987, after reporter Armen Keteyian suggested they use it.

This was written by Barrett, who is a folk singer. It was never released on an album, but several versions are available on the Internet and the song is available as a CD Single on his website: oneshiningmoment.com .

Barrett wrote this in 20 minutes after seeing a Larry Bird highlight reel.

Barrett: "Writing this song changed my life. Strange how that is so. I mean; the writing came so effortlessly. I knew immediately after that I had something special on my hands. In fact I got up from the piano and went immediately to the phone and called a friend and said... "Glen I just wrote a great song." It was almost like... "where did this come from?" In any case, the song opened all sorts of doors for me in a professional sense. But on a personal note, it also showed me to write about what mattered to me. I mean, I just wrote it because I thought it was worth writing. I learned to trust that. For years I had been listening to what others thought was valid. It was this song that made it clear to me that my job was to write about what I know, and tell the truth about that... Simple."

Contrary to popular belief, the first line in the song was not changed from "The Ball is Kicked" to "The Ball is Tipped." David Barrett explained: "My daughter informed me that they claim that the initial line was the ball is kicked. That's not the case. It never was. The original line was, the gun goes off... which I changed to suit the tournament. Ironically - I wrote the song about basketball (after watching Larry Bird) but for some reason (who knows what I was thinking?!?) I didn't write it into the original first line. And so having the first line fall into place as it did was poetic and true.
The Chicago White Sox used the version with 'The Gun Goes Off' to close their telecast on the final game at Comiskey Park on September 30th, 1990. To my knowledge, this is the ONLY time that this version of the song was aired." (thanks to Bill in Fort Wayne, IN for contacting Mr. Barrett about this song)

In 1997, CBS used a version of this recorded by Teddy Pendergrass. It got a horrible response and they returned to the original version, which was sung by Barrett, the next year.

CBS often gets requests for people wanting to use this for birthdays, anniversaries, Bar Mitzvahs, and even funerals.

The "One Shining Moment" rollout airs at the very end of the show, after interviews, commentary and credits. Occasionally, CBS stations accidentally go to their local news before this runs, thinking that the show is over. Whenever this happens, they get a bunch of viewer complaints and end up airing it the next day to make it up to them.

In 2003, when the Syracuse Orangemen won the national championship, CBS changed singers and gave "One Shining Moment" a new look. Luther Vandross, who had been to only one basketball game in his life, was the new singer, and the video didn't have any special effects like glowing basketballs and star trails like it did in previous years. It is believed this was the last song Vandross recorded before his stroke and subsequent death.

Barrett hasn't gotten rich off this song, but it has been profitable. According to Barrett, CBS pays him "under $50,000" to use the song each year. Barrett makes his living writing music for TV shows and commercials.

A new version by Jennifer Hudson was recorded in Los Angeles for the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. Hudson said: "The song inspires you. It moves you. It motivates you and helps you reach that goal and that dream." Hudson's producer, Harvey Mason Jr., played for the Arizona team that reached the 1988 Final Four.
