[Chorus]
Nobody loves me
Sometimes the world can seem so cold
Looking through the windows of my soul
I see, the true fan now I know (I know, I know, I know)
Y'all gotta love me
When the weight of the world was on my shoulders
You were there
When it got heavy, I held it
You were there
The ones that stood by me like soldiers
You were there

I know you love me

[Verse One]
But I'm still waiting for the Lord to come hug me
Send a sign or somethin'
This is all for nothin'
The talent and Passion of mine
I'm sick of sufferin'
I know your plans is greater than mine
So I'm asking
Why do you want me dead or alive
And how could you let the people see me through the enemy's eyes
Like, jealousy, envy, Feds wanna convict Gotti
I'm thinking probably we was gettin' too much money
Too many niggaz in whips sittin' on 20's
Too much connections to the streets, y'all niggaz doin' somethin'
And after overall assumptions, or it's all or nothin'
Ain't nothin' stopping the second coming, except the coffin
I may be incased, but even from there I still touch 'em
niggaz ain't promised tomorrow, that's why we still hustle
For all my niggaz that can't be here
For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

But what's love, when your friends become enemies
Your nightmares are no longer your worst dreams
And as bad as everything seems
Keep hustling
We gon' get it by any means
How unfortunate, January the sixth
Federal officers, raided our offices
Making it hard for us to eat, and breathe, and live
And they swear they got niggaz asking for relief
They've been handin' down indictments for about a year
And they send nobody to jail yet, we still in the clear
And the Bible that said, "Thou shall not fear no man but God"
Whoever said that, ain't never faced the law
And why all this fake ?? going on
I'm fighting niggaz, swingin' back against the wall
That's for my niggaz that can't be here
For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
How could you hate me, why would the Lord forsake me
Put the weight of the world on my shoulders
I thinkin' I could brush it off and nobody notice
Keep raisin' my kids: Britney, Jeffry, and Jordan
Keep coppin' new whips: Bentleys, Benzes, and Porshes
My niggaz, and my fans is the only thing of importance
It's crazy how the world turns
Sometimes, you gotta light up and let it burn
Sweep up your ashes, put 'em up in a urn
On a mantle from memories
I hear you callin' me, Lord knows you love me
The Passion of Rule is so real, just lend me your ear
You'll feel what I feel, you'll tear when I tear
The vision's real clear, just look in my eyes
I believe in putting my life in the hands of God
For all my niggaz that can't be here
For every tear, send me a prayer, I swear

[Chorus]

[Outro]

every word
that falls from my lips
falls on deaf ears
and I suffocate
now righteousness cast aside
thrown to the ground
I close my eyes
and I see you there
see you there
but my eyes deceive me
every other sense says I'm alone
now waking hours melt to sleepness nights
all fear has left me
if I could learn from my past
I'd posess the strength to turn away
let your sweet taste fade from my lips
but it resonates
and now I hold this so dear
to let it fade would tear me apart
if I now left this all behind
simply turned and walked away
would the dawns light fall upon my face
to end this tragedy
still deep in the long black
behind the shimmering blue
I would swear that I have seen
the last soul that I care to

[x2]
so this is passion
and it crawls upon my skin
and it sinks into my bones
and I am whole again

and I feel it filling me
and I pray it will never
END
now it burns like fire in my veins
and I am writhing in ecstasy

[SOLO]

my eyes deceive me
every other sense says I'm alone
now waking hours melt to sleepness nights
all fear has left me
still deep in the long black
behind the shimmering blue
I would swear that I have seen
the last soul that I care to

[x2]
so this is passion
and it crawls upon my skin
and it sinks into my bones
and I am whole again

Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated

In the bars and the cafes, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion

New York, Moscow, passion
Hong Kong, Tokyo, passion
Paris and Bangkok, passion
A lotta people ain't got, passion

Hear it in the radio, passion
Read it in the papers, passion
Hear it in the churches, passion
See it in the school yards, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah

Alone in your bed at night, passion
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion
Something ain't right, passion

There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, We need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Can't live without passioN

Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah passion

[Cuts by Chief Xcel and DJ Babu]

An open microphone can be dangerous
Let's tune in on two of the greatest MCs out there

[Chorus]
[Rakaa, Gift of Gab]

Passion
The will to win, the spark within
Passion
The strength within the hearts of men
Passion
The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion
To play through pain and love the game
Passion
To break the chain and blaze the flame
Passion
The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion

[Rakaa]
Propaganda, positive propositions
Politician, musician and a triple optician
Still part of my missions to slaughter the opposition
Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin'
I do without blacks, I've done it without cash
Strictly for the love of the art - that's passion
Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or soundblastin'
When Quannum meets Expansion, this is what happens

[Gift of Gab]
Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun
Arrow-arms, zoning out my mind
Like I was hooked on hero-ine
Take the fire, turn it up and blaze whole forest down
Pullin from within' the inner insane warrior
California to the District of Columbia
Hella high octane, lookin' through a lazy eye
All ablaze, fire, flames, lightin' up the sky
Runnin' through the burnin' sun, yellin'
Ride, nigga ride, nigga ride..

[Chorus]
[Rakaa, Gift of Gab]

Passion
The will to win, the spark within
Passion
The strength within the hearts of men
Passion
The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion
To play through pain and love the game
Passion
To break the chain and blaze the flame
Passion
The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion

[Rakaa]
Desire, the fire that inspires
I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires
Passion
The journey, the learnin', the time-turnin'
The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find morning
Passion
The ladies they love the long-lasting
Asking for action, braced for satisfaction

[Gift of Gab]
Passion
The black-skinned African jazz-men of the half in Aspen
Relaxed, gettin' my back rubbed

[Rakaa]
I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here
I've seen cats make a mil but millionaires still fear
You can buy airplanes but you can't buy cheers
Blackalicious, Dilated, vibratin' your ears

[Gift of Gab]
Sent vibrations for years, I've been waiting for years
I've been patient for years, we ain't playin' this year
We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year
We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is

[Chorus]
[Rakaa, Gift of Gab]

Passion
The will to win, the spark within
Passion
The strength within the hearts of men
Passion
The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion
To play through pain and love the game
Passion
To break the chain and blaze the flame
Passion
The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion

Babu!
Let's listen to this recipe for-
Chief Xcel-
The most astonishing-
Soul-
New seeds of wisdom, craft, and skill
(Check it out, y'all)
Listen now, to this classic moment from-
DJ's, around the world, DJ's around the world

[Gift of Gab]
Had a rough week, it got beat by passion
Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin'
Matador Rica, the heat from the heater
In her world, dwellin', hear the world
Yellin' for a leader

[Rakaa]
I don't bother with the dealers, I take it to the lab
It's Rakaa chillin' with Babs, Xcel, Gift of Gab
I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it
My whole life, I wanted it so bad, I could taste it

[Chorus]
[Rakaa, Gift of Gab]

Passion
The will to win, the spark within
Passion
The strength within the hearts of men
Passion
The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion
To play through pain and love the game
Passion
To break the chain and blaze the flame
Passion
The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
You've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion

It's the passion inside
And your dreams come alive
It's the burning inside
I'm going to reach 4 the sky
It's the passion inside
I'm going to reach 4 the sky

Just get your mind right
Get your sprit up and then we can do it
Keep your mind on the prize
And keep prosing
Average people make the world go round
And average instruments make extraordinary sounds
If you got talent baby let it shine
Give it to the world
And let them see what's inside
You're like a treasure and you have the key
Every minute of the day is what it takes to be
The best of the best
So give it all you got
And maybe one day you'll be standing on the top
But open up your eyes and realize
No matter what you do you got to give it some time
I want to see you dance
I want to see you smile
I want to see you laugh every day of your life
I want to know that passion deep inside
You tried every day even if it makes you cry

It's the passion inside
And your dreams come alive
It's the burning inside
I'm going to reach for the sky
It's the passion inside
And your dreams come alive
It's the burning inside
I'm going to reach for the sky

Reach for the sky but I got to stay grounded
As long as I'm breathing my heart is still pounding
I see the vision when I close my eyes
And if I stop right now than I might as well die
Let the strength and the power you posses
Take you to the limit and beyond to express
A strong mind gets high on success
A week mind gets high on bull sh*t
And so I keep on rhyming
Let my music and my flow get you all so excited
Make you want to change the world today
If you still got the passion inside it's never too late
You got to move
Got to show
Got to rise
You got to let the world see through your eyes
Don't let no one tell you a lie
Today is your day and it's time to shine

Don't let nobody tell you that it's impossible
Just follow your heart and your dreams
Just follow your heart and your dreams
Your dreams
Hold up

A dangerous stream of passion,
Flows through my veins.
Infecting my mind with madness,
Blurring my senses.

My fingers crawl like spiders,
Caressing the wall.
In desperate need of screaming,
For a way out.

This feeling is rushing through me and again,
I'm willing to surrender,
To the violent notes that spin around.
I'd give it up for you.

This feeling is clinging to me and again,
I'm willing to surrender.
I could lose my breath but even then,
I'd give it up for you.

A dangerous stream of passion,
Flows through my heart.
The melodies sung is secret,
Tearing me apart.

Emotions fade into music,
And drift through the night
Determined to wonder freely
Forever more

This feeling is rushing through me and again,
I'm willing to surrender,
To the violent notes that spin around.
I'd give it up for you.

This feeling is clinging to me and again,
I'm willing to surrender.
I could lose my breath but even then,
I'd give it up for you.

This feeling is rushing through me and again,
I'm willing to surrender,
To the violent notes that spin around.
I'd give it up for you.

This feeling is clinging to me and again,
I'm willing to surrender.
I could lose my breath but even then,
I'd give it up for you.

Within my mind's eye
Flickering from the past
Come images that terrify and calm
A paradox in me

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

He chose to give it all
Jesus endured the pain
Paying a debt I owed and created a paradox in me

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

And in my heart I know that you're the only one
Who could of came and died, a sacrifice
As your God's only son

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

Sitting in my bedroom the rain is pouring down
The shade is on the window and loneliness is all around
A little voice I'm hearing says don't you stay inside
But I can't fight this feeling got L.U.S.T. on my mind

I head for the arena where lovers try their fate
Moving through the darkness I take my place and wait
A pretty bird beside me says hello with her eyes
She looks so sweet and lovely but is she N.A.S.T.Y?

CHORUS
P.A.S.S.I.O.N.
Got me in a jam again
Theres no way that I can win
P.A.S.S.I.O.N.

Her lips are callin' to me no way I can resist
Addicted to the feeling intoxicated by her kiss
I take her to my castle we set our bodies free
And while the music played on she loved me down from A to Z

The night is getting longer I start to realise
Don't know what I've got into the girl is C.R.A.Z.Y.
I try to cool the fire like I oughta should
But theres no way to turn back the S.E.X. is just too good

chorus

Don't be tempted to touch the fire
I should've read all the warning signs
You might get burned by your own desire
I lost my mind I must have been blind

I never knew another lover that was evil under cover
Then I discovered you girl, you're like no other
Doin' the time for the crime I was blind
To the games that you were playin'
Words that you were sayin '
Goin' out of my mind, you're like a hurricane
Drive me insane your'e like a heart attack
Know it's a fact,
you got the knack to drop a man to his knees

chorus

Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated

In the bars and the cafes, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion

New york, moscow, passion
Hong kong, tokyo, passion
Paris and bangkok, passion
A lotta people ain't got, passion

Hear it in the radio, passionThere's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, i need passion
You need passion, we need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion

Even the president needs passion
Everybody i know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah passion

Houston, we don't have a problem.

Ps: Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
Som invertido da frase I need more affection than you know

Last night I went to sleep as a child.
Only to wake up this morning and find I was a man.
In my hands I discovered the tools and the rage of my father,
And in my heart I found the love and the fears of my mother.

Confrontation between the night and day.
The land of the sea.
The fire and the air,
the sacred and the profound.
The holy and the unholy,
the focused and the miss directed.
The bullet and the flesh.
The mind and the spirit and the sound when you hear it.
The oppressor and the resistor,
the brother and the sister.
We are not walking with the ghosts of the dead.
We are alive with the spirit of our passion.

We are not walking with the ghosts of the dead.
We are alive with the spirit of our passion.
