[single intro:] "Keep very still, for the strangest things are about to happen."
Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly
And I thought it was my heart but then I realised
That this time it was for real there was no place to hide

Oh but the world just got me down and so I looked for you
In every street of every town I wanted to see your face

[single outro:] "You've just heard one of the most remarkable applications in modern electronics."

[Chorus:]
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), One
You done when I see you (David Banner, banner)
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), (yeah, yeah) Two (2), (ay) One

You done when I see (see) you (you) (ay)

[Verse 1:]
what it is the king back in the building
Still stacking and building
Still rappin to children
Jeopardizing ya deals, ballin buyin ya wheels
Like it?s back when we was lil and it?s still time to kill
Quick displayin ya skills
Way underpayin ya bills
Spend a day in the field
So how you sayin you real
Niggaz could never live how I live, you ain?t deserving
My lifestyle?s urban, never met me in person
Just my bread suburban, in a red suburban
On 24?s, 20 hoes givin head, I?m swerving
Fuck boys piss they pants, scared and nervous
I?m shell-shocked, black out like I been in the service
Clean cut and reserved, but I tote George Garvin
The closest thang you hoes seen to picture perfect
Your rose gold king, my ring tight as a virgin cop
Your dream I stopped fo I seen the top, nigga

[Chorus (2x):]
Five (5). Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), (what!), One
You done when I see (see), you (you) (ya days are numbered shawty)
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), One run
You done when I see (see), you (you) (countdown pimp)

[Verse 2:]
I treat the beats like the streets
On em I do what I want to
I ain?t gotta confront you, I?ll kill you if I want to
Roam amongst monsters, kill homes and front you
That lil nigga swearin he bad, eat him for lunch too
Fuck you niggaz, Dominique slam dunk you niggaz
Sucker punch aan one of you niggaz
I was being nice at first now I?m runnin thru niggaz
Whole crews, not just one or two niggaz
Cuz you aint representin the south, you just embarassin
See you on tv in New York, them niggaz laugh at us
The reason why D.J.?s didn?t have a clue I was fabulous
Now a days, not playin my records well, hell it?s hazardous
All this cussin, fussin, loud discussion?s out of my character
Bustin these niggaz melons and threatnin all of they managers
P.$.C. is Atlanta, so how you playin and handlin
Gorillaz wit bananaz, without playin and banishing
King of the south, it was said once then
Took a while to comprehend, now it all sunk in
On the low, deal a mil, I ain?t done, come again
Room dead, scene fled, fo the fedz runnin in pimp

[Chorus (2x)]

[Verse 3:]
comin live from the terror dome
Shinin lights on niggaz who got they skirts on tight wit mascara on
All I have ever known, is 28 in the zone
Give me a day and its gon, a brick of yay and it?s on
You have never known, me to run less I?m gunnin at niggaz domes
And runnin em out the own territory
Every story got a flip side to it, and ya disc ain?t shit less the click ride to it
And I?m gon show you how the Westside do it
In the A, not Cali, Bankhead, Simpson Valley
Every crack in every alley, sellin crack to every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Every Kim, Sue, and Sally, till I tally up
A big enough knot to buy me a yacht
So then my pistols and my patnaz really all that I got
I?m not, playin at all, I?m sprayin em all
Still drop em down to size if they say that I?m small man
Pussy cats can?t worry ya dawg
Throwin stones at the throne, I?m a bury ya all man
Know ya faggot niggaz hate that I?m ballin
Makin 30k a day and blow it all at the mall and man I
Can?t relate to what you rap on stage
Nigga cuz I been sellin yay since I was bow wow?s age nigga
Hear my daddy and cousin talking to me from the grave
And all they sayin is young nigga get paid

[Chorus (4x)]

Let's go !

(gun shot)

Trailer red like the sea
Well I'm the son of a crowded bed
Find your love's gonna count for me
Your love that breaths, breeds
Gonna paste up our damn heads
Gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna count for me
Your love that breaths, breeds
Your love that's catchin' the breeze.
Son of a crowded bed
Son of a cloudy night
Well find your love's gonna count for me, your love's gonna count for me
We'll count down [8x]
Yeah

Waitin' for a chance to pass
Some ho say some say now go
Lookin' for a chance for speed
A love that breaths, breeds
High time getting past black
Gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna count for me
Your love that breaths, breeds
Your love that's catchin' the breeze
Son of a crowded bed
Son of a cloudy night
Find your love's gonna count for me, your love's gonna count for me
We'll count down [16x]
Yeah

Lit up with anticipation
We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline

Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams

Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon

Crackling speakers, voices tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama start to mount

The air is charged
A humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the cameras
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
Technology...high, on the leading edge of life

The earth beneath us starts to tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like the whole world exploding

Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the ground
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome sound

Like a pillar of cloud
The smoke lingers high in the air
In fascination
With the eyes of the world
We stare...

Well it’s one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, got that
Count down the times I tried to make you mine
Cryin’ out
Count down the times I tried to
Tried to make you mine

Well my heart goes out to him
Time of need
But you cause me pain most every time you breathe
Cryin’ out
Cause me pain every
Every time you breathe

Well you said you’d love me ‘til death
Took you home
But you stayed out late always doin’ me wrong
Cryin’ out
Stayed out late always
Late night always doin’
Always doin’ me wrong

So I’m leavin’ in the morning if I have ride them lines
You stole but you can’t take my mind
Cryin’ out
Stole my heart but you
You can’t take my

Well you stole my heart and damn near drove me mad
I gotta get back home with my
Mama and dad
Cryin’ out
Stole my heart but baby
Get back home to my
Get back home to my

Make up your mind,
We're hurting inside,
Every single breath I take is spitting out your name.
We'll see in time,
This choice is not mine,
You can't see my answer cos' my heart is simply dead.

The gate swung,
No hurting her.
Your mind's closed,
Just let me in.
This countdown is breaking me,
Just don't leave.

My timing's off,
It moves like your own,
When you said it's all done.
Your clinginess tore up my mind.
While I'm gone you'll still be with me.
Be with me...

You try saying everything's over,
and try saying everything's gone.

Any single problem in your wondering mind,
The problem is my ordinary life.

Can't take back what you said long ago.
No time for apologies, I know.
Don't be denying it.
Then we've had it all.
I'm waiting, trying,
I keep holding on...

Boy!

Oh, killing me softly and I'm still falling
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you're out of your mind

My baby is a 10
We dressing to the 9
He pick me up we 8,
Make me feel so lucky 7
He kiss me in his 6
We be making love at 5
Still the one I do this 4
I'm tryna make us 3
From that 2
He's still the 1

There's ups and downs in this love
Got a lot to learn in this love
Through the good and the bad, still got love
Dedicated to the one I love, hey

Still love the way he talk, still love the way I sing
Still love the way he rock them black diamonds in that chain
Still all up on each other, ain't a damn thing changed
My girls can't tell me nothing, I'm gone in the brain
I'm all up under him like it's cold, winter time
All up in the kitchen in my heels, dinner time
Do whatever that it takes, he got a winner's mind
Give it all to him, meet him at the finish line

Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the flyest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beyonce/countdown.html ]
Oh, killing me softly and I'm still fallin'

Yup, I put it on him, it ain't nothing that I can't do
Yup, I buy my own, if he deserve it, buy his shit too
All up in the store, shorty, tricking if I want to
All up in the store, shorty, fly as we want to

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Damn I think I love that boy
Do anything for that boy
Boy!
Now I'll never be the same
You and me until the end

Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show you the flyest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
Me and my boo and my boo lip locking
All up in the back because the chicks keep flocking
All that gossip in 10 years stop it
London speed it up, Houston rock it

Oh, killing softly and I'm still falling
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly,
If you leave me you're out of your mind

And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You still love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town.
It's a miracle you're walking aroud.
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...

It started with a minute of your favorite sound,
A sexy little secret of a radio song.
I wish it wasn't floating around.
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...

Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite town?
It caught you with your finger on a video girl.
America is watching you now,
Countdown to a night gown.

Hey now, wake up!
It's a beatiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away.
Are you falling asleep.
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away.

And so it begins..
It's the time of the season
When you're a man around town.
Imagination taking you where no one else can.
Floating on sins that surround. Woah,
Countdown in a dark town.

Hey now, wake up!
It's a beatiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away.
Are you falling asleep.
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away.

And so it begins...
coutdown, can you think of a reason why
you so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town.
It's a miracle you're walking aroud.
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...

It started with a minute of your favorite sound.
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around.
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...

Are you falling asleep.
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away.

And so it begins..

The businessmen got a job to do
The Eastenworld is waiting too.

They're sittin' on a bloodstone calling you a beggar,
Waitin' for another deal in open cars.
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration,
They're countin' dollar bills, and they're workin' on
The final countdown

Countdown

I'm sitting all around and I'm waitin' for the lyrics
they gotta be cool, gotta satisfy the critics.
"Sigh of warning all across the edges"
maybe too pathetic ... and my pencil scratches,

Meanwhile X is comin' from Miami
Another perfect deal was made in open cars.
I don't care 'cos I'm much too busy,
I have to write my lyrics
And I'm waiting for the final countdown,
Countdown.

It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
And we're waiting for the countdown.

We're sittin' all around and we drink our lage,
Thanks to God we got no embargo.
What is left to do when you're looking for pleasure,
Somehow we gotta lose the pressure.

We're sittin' on a blood stone, worker, boss and beggar.
I don't give a damn
I want my open car.
God has turned to money, Jesus is a Liqueur
I'd rather get my record done and party for the final,
COUNTDOWN, COUNTDOWN.

It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
And we're waiting for the countdown.

Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told

True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too

Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did right let's go

Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are wrong
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matter that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too

True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...

Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told

True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too

Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did right let's go

Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are wrong
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matter that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too

True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
