Ronnie K. Whitlock - Words, Words & More Words... lyrics

"Nothing is Everything and I am no exception..." Down Never falling down, down, down Never falling down [Verse 1] There's no such thing as a voice that don't deserve to be heard There's no such thing as a verse that doesn't need every word There's no such thing as a heart that hasn't loved and lost Ain't no price tags that can tell you what that cost They wanna' push and shove you but really they don't understand That there's a pa**ion in your heart that wants to be heard, but can't Why is it so hard to see the beauty underneath You feel like you're invisible, but really, they can't see They're blind to all the kindness and the love that's in your heart The singing in your voice and your eyes is filled with stars So take me on a trip around the universe and sky Way above the clouds where the sun shines high And I will take you on a journey where you feel no pain or hurt Take a look at you through my eyes and truly see your worth Laying in my bed when I know that miles away You just cried yourself to sleep because of what I said today (Damn...) You just want it all to end, baby please, I understand And there's nothing I can do for it and that's what I can't stand Just hold you close to me and wipe the tears from your eyes Make 'em to a river, let the waters run dry One thing people don't get is the power of their words If you could see the way they cry and sit alone when they get hurt Then maybe you'll think twice before saying something out of haste You only get so many words, why put them to waste Use them to enrich the lives of people in your own Why don't you watch your tongue and keep it closed up in that hole I'd like to see you survive in the place of a victim You'll make fun of someone's shoes before you'd walk around in 'em And for anyone who's struggling to make it through the day These words are for you and your armor is this page So get up, dust yourself off, wipe the tears off your face A word can be forgotten, but a scar can't be erased (I said a scar can't be erased) Down Never falling down, down, down Never falling down [Verse 2] I woke up early today so I could watch the sunrise I woke up early today so I could watch the night die I'll go to sleep one night with my prayers to think of I'll go to sleep one night, I might never wake up Why we gotta' live in the shadow of d**h And wonder what we'll say with our very last breath Why we gotta' worry about what's gonna' happen When we give up our bodies and fade into the blackness Why does life teach us to fear the unknown Why do people teach us stuff we don't need to know I have the slightest idea on how to get into college But they think knowing trigonometry is valuable knowledge How about teaching survival and more about taxes More about life than advanced mathematics They act as if to distract us from what's important Life is an experience, shouldn't be an employment So enjoy it while it last 'cause it's a b**h and it's short One day you're in 1st grade, the next you're in court 'Cause you a**aulted a man who beats on his wife He tried to give you life but you wish he'd get the knife But in God's eyes, you know that we all deserve a chance That there might be more to music than a beat and a dance Maybe this dude is trying to tell you a story But you care about the beat and don't care for the glory You'd rather listen to a catchy song than one that's from the heart You ignore true poetry and jam to all this garbage I spent a whole day at school trying to get down this verse Are you enjoying the beat, have you even heard a word It's absurd that all I want is my voice to be heard To enrich the lives of the people on this Earth But I'm never fallin' down, Imma' get back up I'm a living legend, but the story ain't done Down 'Cause I'm still going Never falling down, down down Never falling down
