• Please beware of them that stare
  They’ll only smile to see you while
  Your time away
  
  And once you’ve seen what they have been
  To win the earth just won’t seem worth
  
  Your night or your day
  
  Who’ll hear what I say?
  
  Look around you find the ground
  Is not so far from where you are
  But don’t be too wise
  
  For down below they never grow
  They’re always tired and charms are hired
  From out of their eyes
  
  Never surprise
  
  Take your time and you’ll be fine
  And say a prayer for people there
  Who live on the floor
  And if you see what’s meant to be
  Don’t name the day or try to say
  It happened before
  
  Don’t be shy you learn to fly
  And see the sun when day is done
  If only you see
  
  Just what you are beneath a star
  That came to stay one rainy day
  In autumn for free
  
  Yes, be what you’ll be
  
  Please beware of them that stare
  They’ll only smile to see you while
  Your time away
  
  And once you’ve seen what they have been
  To win the earth just won’t seem worth
  Your night or your day
  
  Who’ll hear what I say
  
  Open up the broken cup
  Let goodly sin and sunshine in
  Yes that’s today
  And open wide the hymns you hide
  You’ll find renown while people frown
  At things that you say
  But say what you’ll say
  
  About the farmers and the fun
  And the things behind the sun
  And the people round your head
  Who say everything’s been said
  And the movement in your brain
  Sends you out into the rain

• I never felt magic crazy as this
  I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
  I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
  Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
  But now you’re here
  Brighten my northern sky.
  
  I’ve been a long time that I’m waiting
  Been a long that I’m blown
  I’ve been a long time that I’ve wandered
  Through the people I have known
  Oh, if you would and you could
  Straighten my new mind’s eye.
  
  Would you love me for my money
  Would you love me for my head
  Would you love me through the winter
  Would you love me ‘til I’m dead
  Oh, if you would and you could
  Come blow your horn on high.
  
  I never felt magic crazy as this
  I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
  I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
  Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
  But now you’re here
  Brighten my northern sky.

• Mercedes Sosa — Thanks to life or Thanks Giving (Violeta Parra)
  
  Thanks (Thanks Giving) to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me two beams of light (my eyes), that when opened,
  Can perfectly distinguish black from white
  And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
  And from within the multitude
  The one that I love.
  
  Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
  Records— night and day—crickets and canaries,
  Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
  And the tender voice of my beloved.
  
  Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me sound and the alphabet.
  With them the words that I think and declare:
  “Mother,” “Friend,” “Brother” and the light shining.
  The route of the soul from which comes love.
  
  Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
  With them I have traversed cities and puddles
  Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains.
  And your house, your street and your patio.
  
  Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me a heart, that causes my frame to shudder,
  When I see the fruit of the human brain,
  When I see good so far from bad,
  When I see within the clarity of your eyes...
  
  Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
  It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
  With them I distinguish happiness and pain—
  The two materials from which my songs are formed,
  And your song, as well, which is the same song.
  And everyone’s song, which is my very song.
  
  Thanks to life (Thanks Giving)
  Thanks to life
  Thanks to life
  Thanks to life

"Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity
That I present this recording, as a living testiment and recollection
Of history in the making during our generation."

[Jay-Z]
Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov! OH, H-to-the-O-V
I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z
I guess even back then you can call me
CEO of the R-O-C, Hov'!
Fresh out the frying pan into the fire
I be the music biz number one supplier
Flyer than a piece of paper bearin my name
Got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain, that's right
Hov', OH - not D.O.C
But similar to them letters, "No One Can Do it Better"
I check cheddar like a food inspector
My homey Strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast"
So that's what I'mma do, take you back to the dude
With the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this
I shoot at you actors like movie directors {*laughing*}
This ain't a movie, dog (oh shit)

[Interlude]
"Now before I finish, let me just say
I did not come here to show out, did not come here to impress you
Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm GONE!
And I don't care WHAT you think about me - but just remember
When it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years
Twenty years from now, you'll never be able to say
That these brothers lied to you JACK!"

[Jay-Z]
Sing ain't lie
I done came through the block in everything that's fly
I'm like Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex
I never claimed to have wings on
Nigga, I get my "by any means" on whenever there's a drought
Get your umbrellas out because that's when I brainstorm
You can blame Shawn, but I ain't invent the game
I just rolled the dice, trying to get some change
And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me
Lying as if I am a different man
And I could blame my environment but
There ain't no reason why I be buying expensive chains
Hope you don't think users are the only abusers
Niggas getting high within the game
If you do then, how would you explain?
I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
I got a hustler spirit, nigga, period
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer
No matter where you go, you are what you are player
And you can try to change but that's just the top layer
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
Either love me, or leave me alone
