Blown Away Lyrics


Cheh, crazy, it's one of those things man
You gotta experience to know what I'm talkin' about
It's where the goin' get rough, Akon
The tough stay tough, Styles P, up front, let's go, konvict
We in too deep to turn back now D, sure is
Watch yourself before you get blown away
You know where I come from
The place where your fate is a mic or a bull or a dum dum
A jail cell a pine box and brothers is dumb young, young boys
Still bustin' guns for the slum that they come from
Cops is the only ones they gon' run from, that's it
They puttin' they hood up but 9 out of 10 of us ain't got good luck
You gon' ride on a man and catch 25
(Blown away)
Or get hit and get sent to the other side
You lose both sides of the coin
So me I play the hood baby not in the groin
Mama got a little church I could join but I didn't go yet

Man got a mosque I could join but I didn't go yet
Cool with the devil on my back, I'm in cold sweats
'Bout to do some dirt in some dirty black old sweats
If you known you shoulda shown the way
Mosta the hood 'bout to get blown away
'Cause I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
'Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away
See I ain't never shot nobody but I'm known for fightin'
So when I strike man you'll think you been struck by lightning
Shouldn't have to prove myself by killin' a ***
Even a child can take it like by pull the trigga
Retaliation only takes anger mixed with passion
So you target in the distance and keep on blastin'
They say guns don't kill people, people do
So when you're hit man you feel that s*** the evils do
Can't see myself get beat down my eyes swollen
Mom's cryin' they don't know what happened, my pride's stolen
If I ain't got my heat then I got a blade
That hit you off me, so
I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
'Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away
Keep my eye out for jakes, ears to the streets
Other eye out for snakes and these scandalous freaks
If we ain't on good terms don't bother to speak
Don't smile and try to spark a convo with me
Same thing'll make you laugh it'll make you cry
This quiet ***, he'll take ya life
Hate for it to be the world's sacrifice
If somebody else could travel through the tunnel of life
'Cause I'm that type of guy I'll be there when you're ridin'
But I'll stay to myself
So if you see me out there with a bear we fightin'
N**** then go help the bear
'Cause I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
'Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
With song writer and vocalist extraordinaire Quincy Coleman think Elvis Presley's power, Edith Piaf's emotion and the spirit of Django Reinhardt breaking Challa on a Hawaiian island while shooting a scene for a David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Fellini collaboration.

Online publication, Editorial Emergency says about Quincy and her sophomore recording "Come Closer", "her husky delivery navigates the shifting territory with aplomb. Coleman's feel for the swoony tropes of yesteryear at times recalls Maria Muldaur and Van Dyke Parks, though her voice is closer to the knowing, rootsy timbre of Shelby Lynne." While Paste magazine describes "Come Closer" as "Asyln meets Tom Waits."

Released independently on May 9th, the CD includes songs such as "Calling Your Name" which Quincy describes as "an Israeli, surf punk, gypsy swing". Mix that with "Mary," "a bittersweet, yet hopeful goodbye" and the sultry redemption song, "Want Me Back" and you have what critics and fans are calling "ready for radio music." Music Connection Magazine describes the contagiousness of Coleman's songs quite simply as, "catchy and lodge easily in your memory."

Born into a family of performers, (dad actor and Golden Globe winner Dabney Coleman, mom model/actress Jean Hale Coleman and brother Randy who has toured with Def Leppard and opened for The Who at the Hollywood Bowl) Quincy pursued entertainment dreams throughout high school and college. After flirting with acting in New York and a few TV spots she did the U.S. college student thing and headed for Europe.

"It was in Nice, France where I found myself with someone else's guitar in my hand on a very small stage at a 'hole in the wall' singing a very drunk and a very nervous version of Indigo Girls 'Closer to Fine'. The owner slammed a pint of beer in front of me and said 'your hired!'" From there to busking in London "(the best $15 I ever made)" she headed back to L.A. and recorded her self-released debut album "Also Known as Mary". It caught the ear of tastemaker Nic Harcourt, program director of L.A.'s trendsetting NPR station KCRW. In addition to the resultant heavy airplay Coleman was hand picked personally by Nic as one of the four artists showcased at the 2004 KCRW "Next Up" event at the famed Santa Monica Pier.

Quincy not only regularly sells out local Los Angeles venues such as the Temple Bar, The Mint, and the influential Hotel Café, her buzz is expanding beyond Southern California and into the national and international spotlight. The song "Afraid" from "Also Known as Mary" is on the soundtrack for the academy award winning film "Crash." "Give it Away", from the same CD is on an upcoming UK compilation called "Beautiful Embrace" which also features Bryan Adams and Sarah McLaughlin. To kick things off for the new CD internationally, two songs from "Come Closer", "Calling Your Name" and "Mary" will be on a Japanese compilation released this spring. Read more on Last.fm.
