DOG EAT DOG LYRICS

1. Gangbusters

(- Let me ask you something, sugar
Are you the kind of girl that relax of music?
- Oh, sure
- Hey, hey, I knew you one knew it. Hah, hah, hah, hah…
I am puttin’ it’s all right now)

Back in the old days, gangsters were all the rage
Crime was the front page of news and TV
A group known to no one, blows were all low ones
The cops had shit to go on they had no leads

Drive by shootings
Murders at will
Pay for protection
Or have yourself killed

Gangbusters,
Gangbusters,
Gangbusters,
Gangbusters

Guys like Al Capone who loved being unknown
Made themselves at home and still got away
The law couldn't catch him or none of his hit men
He died in prison for taxes unpaid

Screw prohibition
Crimes go unsolved
Elliot Ness
Couldn't wrap up the mob

Hey ho - Who the gangbusters?
Hey yo - You the gangbusters?
That's right - We the gangbusters [2x]

Some say crime don't pay, they didn't feel that way
And so I would have to say that I do agree
The gangbusters in the past proved they were there to last
By knife or shotgun blast for the world to see

Gangbusters,
Gangbusters,
Gangbusters,
Gangbusters!

2. Expect The Unexpected

Now you never know when it's your time
It's always there in the back of your mind
Read it in the paper see it on TV
Never think it could happen to me

Accidents occur we don't know why
Just look what happened to Princess Di
One car crashed and the whole world cried
No time to say goodbye

Won't see your future in a crystal ball
Your psychic friends can't help you at all
Can't buy time at a shopping mall
The writing's on the wall

Struck by lighting, fall in a well
It sounds far fetched but you never can tell
When you're swimming with sharks that you can't repel
No one can hear you yell

[Chorus:]
You never know where
You won't know how
When you least expect it
Expect the unexpected

Won’t ever know why
It all comes down
When you least expect it
Expect the unexpected

Boom! What a terrible sound
Planes go up, and crash back down
You never thought, when you left the ground
That you would not be found

Took a big chance when you made that bet
Laid it on the line now you're starting to sweat
This is one day you'll never forget
Cash in your pockets and no regrets

Fly in the sky, or sail in a boat
It don't matter which way you go
Titanic, don't panic,
There's other ways to cross the Atlantic

Don't be surprised by what you hear
Things aren't always as they appear
The unexpected ain't nothing to fear
The truth is always clear

[Chorus:]
You never know where
You won't know how
When you least expect it
Expect the unexpected

Won’t ever know why
It all comes down
When you least expect it
Expect… (expect…)

(Stay away)

[Chorus]

Come in and check it
No ones protected
To be infected
Expect the unexpected
You must respect it
Stop living reckless
We are all affected

Yo, check the method
It's getting hectic
Prepare for wreck, kid
Expect the unexpected
Keep it in perspective
It's all subjective
Let's get connected

3. Whateverman

Who is the one, don't need a gun
Livin' with the scum in the city slums
Mixin' with the players, bushers and bums
Keepin' it groovy with everyone

(What tell me lady, how you’re doing?)

Out on the block is where the action's hot (keep on)
They keep it moving and it just won't stop (that’s’ right)
The wolves in sheep's clothes, good people with hopes
When it's Dog Eat Dog, they go for the throat

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan
Whateverman that's just what I am
I'll help you, if I can to work it out

Easy women and sleazy men
On Amsterdam Ave. and 110
The times are fast, the change is loose
Anything goes in the land of abuse

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan
Whateverman that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can to work it out

[Rap]

(Ah-ah-ah)

I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan
Whateverman that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can to work it out

I'm your Whateverman, that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can, to come through with your plan
Whateverman that's just what I am
I'll help you if I can to work it out

Let’s work it out

4. Modern Day Devils

One life to get it right, there's no time to waste
One track in this rat race, keep up with the pace
Who is sure, the rich or the poor
I'll take my time and be secure
Time is now we're all going down
I'll go for mine someway or somehow

[Chorus:]
Modern day devils pushing things to dangerous levels
Latter day saints promises for those who wait

One way to walk a path following a code (all right)
Another way is to blaze a trail driven by your hopes
Chance we take, choice to make
Answer to who at the end of the day
Living in faith you just got to wait
Surrender your will to a power that's great

[Chorus 2x]

God helps those who help themselves
God helps those who help themselves…

Pick your fight, choose your side
There's a thin line between wrong and what's right
Time will tell, see for yourself
Don't bet with your life, it's bad for your health

[Chorus]

Modern day devils pushing things to dangerous levels
Latter day saints promises but I can’t wait

5. Get Up

Don't just sit there, get up!

Check the groove, born to make you move.
Paid some dues, never sang the blues.
How I choose to give the love to you
Take it on the road all across the globe.

We've got people feeling hot from state to state,
Beats hit harder than a heavy weight.
Others are lame, playing the game, wordly acclaim,
That's how were straight just gaining the fame.

[Chorus:]
(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I’ve got something, that I wanna say
(No, no, no, no, no…) Don't just sit there, get up, get up!

(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I’ve got something, that I wanna say
(No, no, no, no, no…) Don't just sit there, get up!

Now you know that we will rock every show
And keep the money closer from here to Tokyo.
Bond blood with brothers, sisters, I love ya,
Never uncover, let you discover.

How we got you open, let me make a point (OK)
We ain't the ones who gonna disappoint (world up)
What's understood, you wanna feel good,
Carry on that vibe back in your neighbourhood.

Who got the hip that can make you hop?
Who holds the rock and can make it roll?
Who brings it live with the party vibe?
Put your hands high, shut your eyes and scream!

[Chorus]

Yo, here's a little something for the worldly wise,
As we continue to galvanize.
We let these fakers scratch their heads,
As these bakers proceed to make the bread rise.

[Chorus 2x]

Come on!
Keep ‘em people in the front, you are number one
Don’t stop the party rock
Keep ‘em people in the back, you may had to act, come on
Don’t stop the party rock (rock)

6. Always The Same

[Chorus:]
Always the same and that's a shame.
The only change is the name of the game.
I know it sucks, ‘cause times are tuff
And it's ruff but you gotta keep your head up. [2x]

What do you want?
I want a shot to follow my dreams, they're all I got.
What do you need?
I need a chance to go for it all, ‘cause I got plans.
What do you got?
I got nothing but fire burning inside for all I desire.
What do you see?
All I can see is walls obstacles in my way they're gonna fall.

[Chorus]

How do you feel?
It's all wrong, but if it's not kill me I'm getting strong.
Where do you go?
On that I must decide exhibiting a sense of self.
What is the deal?
Just playing with time, learning a lot, trying to get mine
What do you know?
I don't know why it hurts, but if it's really worth something it takes hard work.

[Chorus]

Always the same and that's a shame.
The only change is the name of the game.
I know it sucks, ‘cause times are tuff
And it's ruff but you gotta keep your head up.

Always the same and that's a shame.
The only change is the name of the game (yeah)
I know it sucks, ‘cause times are tuff
And it's ruff but you gotta keep your head up.

Always the same
I know it's ruff, ‘cause times are tuff (keep it off, keep it off)
Always the same (yes)
I know it's ruff, ‘cause times are tuff
But you gotta keep your head up.

7. Big Wheel

Yeah, it's a big world out there
And most of it is water.
So you better learn how to swim real good
Or you should know how to fly

This is motion, taking too long, like a bad song fly to Hong Kong,
High as the sky without the bong.
Never the less, the level of stress was endless,
I felt pressed in the plane cabin class business.

I remember what it took to get us here,
The mad years we performed just for the beer.
Now we hover undercover in the atmosphere.
Intergalactic players, true pioneers

[Chorus:]
Big wheel, spinnin’ around
Breaking on cities and rippin’ thru town
Get down time to flip that frown,
Keep your body moving from your feet to your crown.

This is the “J” to the “O”, “H” to the “N”. “C” and then I'm on.
I spy you like Bond. “N” to the “OR”. I'll put you in the “ER”,
Fuming like a cigar, screaming like a marshal.

Electric guitar check, strap me in there, a true circle, the perfect square.
Hot like flares, danger, beware you must prepare.
Only strategic affairs turn boys to millionaires.

[Chorus 2x]

Now

[Rap]

We got to keep things moving, forever staying in motion.

Get down (so what, so what, so what, so what, so what, peace)

Big wheel, spinnin’ around
Big wheel…
Big wheel, spinnin’ around
Big wheel…

Papa never gave me tools to the trade,
Yo, I'm tryinta make the grade.
Suckas think I got it made. I won't trade or give aid.
You'll be played like arcades,

Follow the (big wheel) wherever it takes you
Nothing, but the truth
You must pursue in the endeavor.
Remember to yourself be true explore the world.
It's a treasure if you only knew
It’s just a…

[Chorus 2x]

Big wheel, spinnin’ around
Big wheel…
Big wheel, spinnin’ around
Big wheel…

8. In The City

East side, west side
Larceny and homicide
People trying to survive.

Prostitution, retribution
Toxic waste and air pollution
Politics: no solution.

[Pre-chorus:]
I've come from the other side of town
This concrete jungle's got me down
I feel the heat, from the street

[Chorus:]
Live in the city,
Die in the city.
Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty.
Laugh in the city,
Cry in the city.
It's my home, sure ain't pretty.

Uptown, downtown
On the streets and underground
People trying to get around.

Skyscrapers, money makers
New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers
One too many circuit breakers.

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus 2x]

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

In the city
In the city
In the city
In the city
Live in the city,
Die in the city.

It's my home, sure ain't pretty.

New York, London, L.A. ( )
D.C., C.D., (Miami)
Stockholm, Istanbul, Glasgow ( )
Singapore, Baltimore, ( )

9. Right Out

(You gotta get out
Keep your feet on the ground.
And you gotta get out, right out, ah-hah)

Listen party people all in the place,
I've been around the world like Puffy and Mace.
Wake up with the moon sleeping with the sun,
This life of style ain't for everyone.

Close your eyes, open up your mind,
I can clearly see you're all so blind.
Everything’s for sale, name in the price,
The sneakers on my feet are nice.

[Chorus:]
If you're not going up,
Then you gotta get down.
Put your head in the clouds
And feet on the ground.
If you're not coming in,
Then you gotta get out,
Right out, right out, right out.

(Then you gotta get down.
Put your head in the clouds)
If you not going in
Than you gotta be sink)

Keep it on time, always running late,
Even when I'm early hurry up and wait.
Totally sane, fully out of my head,
I'm still alive, I'm the living dead.

Black or white, left or right,
Smokin' and drinkin', night after night.
Top of the world, living on the edge,
You can fall right of the ledge.

[Chorus:]
If you're not going up,
Then you gotta get down.
Put your head in the clouds
And feet on the ground.
If you're not coming in,
Then you gotta get out,
Right out, right out, right out.

Right out, is what I'm talking about.
Right out, is what I'm talking about.
Right out, is what I'm talking about.
Right out, is what I'm talking about. [2x]

Yeah…

Fast forward, future to the past rewind,
A.D. to B.C., nothing but time.
Top to the bottom, front to back,
All 12 sings of the Zodiac.

Asking everybody from east to west,
Y'all wanna know who's style's the best.
Telling all the people in the North and South,
This is what we're talking about.

[Chorus:]
If you're not going up,
Then you gotta get down.
Put your head in the clouds
And feet on the ground.
If you're not coming in,
Then you gotta get out,
Right out, right out, right out.

If you're not going up,
Then you gotta get down.
Put your head in the clouds
And feet on the ground.
If you're not coming in,
Then you gotta get out,
Right out, right out, right out.
Right out, right out!

10. One Day

I had to run… one
Had to run from my home if you can call it that,
Grabbed my CDs and an overstuffed backpack.
Things got hot with my moms and pop, yo
Night after night they blew up the spot.
Throwing plates and pots, shit's got to stop man,
Gotta break out let the pressure drop.
Too extreme kid to be only a teen,
Can't believe what they're putting me in between.

One day (got to break out, let the pressure drop), the way…
(Maybe) Someday (got to break out, make the pressure stop), moving…

Maybe one day it will all make sense,
A tight offense is still the best defense.
Don't even know if I can trust my friends,
Taking anything just to make this end.
Cheap wine, hustles, drugs and street crimes,
Sleeping at the flicks turning tricks hard times.
Wake up the street calls out my name,
Should be in school, but I'm beggin for change.

Hoping for change, praying for change, feeling my pain
(Keep trying, keep on…)

One day (get it all make sense, it’s the best defense), the way…
(Maybe) Someday (street crime, hard time, beggin for change), moving…

One day (will it all make sense, it’s the best defense, wake up)
(Maybe) Someday (street crime, hard time, hoping for change), moving…

Keep on moving something
So never know what you’re looking for it
Just keep on push it forward guy
Keep on looking for it
If you can’t believe it
Some will say, “You can not” and she’ll move it
Don’t stop, looking for it
Keep moving forward

Keep things moving by showing and proving,
On the street by myself what the hell am I doing?
Somehow one day, someway anyway,
Better look out world I got a lot to say.
It's my time to shine, need to get what's mine,
Make a move to the future leave the past behind,
There's a pie in the sky, gonna get a piece,
I wanna be at peace.

One day (keep things moving, showing and proving), the way…
(Keep things moving)
(Maybe) Someday (Look at world, gonna get a piece), moving…

Keep on moving something
So never know what you’re looking for it
Just keep on push it forward guy
Keep on looking for it
If you can’t believe it
Some will say, “You can not” and she’ll move it
Don’t stop, looking for it
Keep moving forward

One day (keep things moving, showing and proving), the way…
(Keep things moving)
(Maybe) Someday (look at world, and put the past behind)
(Gonna get a piece, I wanna be in peace.)

One day (Keep on looking for something), the way…
Just keep on push it forward
Hard times
(Someday) If you can’t believe it
My time (moving…)
Don’t stop, looking for it
Keep moving forward
One day (if you looking for something)
(The way…) Just keep on push it forward guy
Keep on looking for it
(Someday) If you can’t believe it…

11. True Color

Gave you all that I had
I let you come and go as you please,
Never once did I ask for anything in return,
Except to have what was coming to me.

You broke a friendship that was based on trust
And tried to pull the wool right over my eyes.
I can't see how such a lying, cheating son of a bitch,
Could have ever been a friend of mine.

[Chorus:]
Are you so blind that you can't see,
Look at what you've done to me.
All of this time I called you my friend,
Now I see your true color showing in the end.

Good times and bad times took a turn for the worst,
I’m looking back on it now,
Wonder why somehow I could ever hidden all the hurt.
Took something from me that you can't give back,
It was yours just as much it was mine,
But in the end I think you've got what was coming to you,
I got love you got nothing but time.

[Chorus:]
Are you so blind that you can't see,
Look at what you've done to me.
All of this time I called you my friend,
(I keep on give it all, you keep on take it all)
Now I see your true color showing in the… end.

I keep on give it, you keep on take it
I keep on give it, you keep on take it

I left you to your own devices
And I see trust is just a word you take for granted,
Never had the balls to stand and fight me.
‘Cause you know that my feet have been firmly planted.
Always had your back we'd find a way out
The two of us could never be kept down.
I never understand the path you've chosen,
I will not back down.

[Chorus:]
Are you so blind that you can't see,
Look at what you've done to me.
All of this time I called you my friend,
(I keep on give it all, you keep on take it all)
Now I see your true color showing in the end.

12. In Time (Growing Came)

We live just for today,
Now is not yesterday,
Tomorrow's another day in live.
I heard that growth is slow,
That's not the way it goes,
Variety's the spice of life.

My life,
We're not the same, growing came,
Who can explain why we change?
The wheel in motion now,
Prepare for ups and downs,
Sunshine and dark and cloudy skies.
Those things we want to say,
Always seem to fade away,
This pain is what we recognize.

In time,
We're not the same, growing came,
Who can explain why we change?
We're not the same, growing came,
Try to maintain even plain.

Check, check, yeah

Now there's a rhyme for every reason,
A time for every season,
To grow in our lives it's just natural.
Move with the transition, constantly in motion,
Modify the model, feel the physical mutation.

The body grows along with the mind,
Compel the soul with cycles and lines.
Sensation, pain you feel in your brain
Reduce the strain embrace the gain.

We're not the same, growing came,
Who can explain why we change? (Reduce the strain)
We're not the same, growing came (Yeah)
Try to maintain even plain (Embrace the gain)

We're not the same, growing came (We all live just for today)
Who can explain why we change? (Tomorrow's not yesterday)
We're not the same, growing came (We all live just for today)
Try to maintain even plain (Tomorrow's not yesterday)

Growing came…
