Caution

Here I am, walking down the street (walk walk walk walk walk walk walk)
And the terrain, everything is so sweet
(woah woah woah sweet 2x)
I´m doing my thing and I´m doing it slow
But there is just one thing I would like you to know, oo
When it wet it slippery yea
When it dump it crumpy
If it´s likely you will tumble down
Don´t want you on the ground
Oh oh oh Caution, the road is wet
Black soul is black as jet
Do you hear me
Caution the road is hot
You got to do better than that
´cause ah
When it wet it slippery (when it wet it slippery yea)
When it damp it crampy
If it´s likely you were tumbling down
Don´t wash it on the ground brother
Hit me from the top
You crazy motherfunky (3x)
When it wet it slippery yea
When it dumpy crumpy
If it´s likely you were tumbling down
Don´t wash it on the ground
Caution...

Chances Are

Chances are we're gonna leave now
Sorry for the victim now
Though my days are filled with sorrow
I see years of pride tommorrow

Chances, chances are some might not hold out
Chances are, hang on right now
Though-oh-oh-oh my-my days are filled with sorrow
I see years of pride tommorrow

Chances, chances are some might not hold out
Chances are, hang on right now

Chances are, hang on right now

Deal with loneliness, I'll take some tear drops
Chances are we'll have to win
Chances are, hang on right now
Chances are, chances are...

Communicating to - 'cating to everyone.

Concrete Jungle

No sun will shine in my day today
The hich yellow moon won't come out to play
I said darkness has covered my light
And the stage my day into night
Where is the love to be found
Won't someone tell me
Cause life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle
Where the living is harder

Concrete jungle
Man you got to do your best
No chains around my feet
But I'm not free
I know I am bound here in captivity
yeh-I've never known the happiness
I've never known what sweet caress is
Still-I'll be always laughing like a clown
Won't somebody help me 'cause
I've got to pick myself from off the ground
In this ya concrete jungle
I said what do you got for me now
Concrete jungle ah won't you let me be now
