Things I've Seen Lyrics


You won't believe the things I've seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
I've seen the beauty of the universe
So peaceful and serene
In seconds turn to violence and screams
I've seen true genius
Too often to lose the meaningless
Appreciation of this mediocre nation
I've heard the mind is repetition
Of empty words without tradition
Turned original verbs into submission
I smelled this malignerance addiction
But I guess I wouldn't be right
If I said the blunt was like a baby pipe
There ain't gon' be no revolution tonight
Half of my warriors as high as a kite
Lost and they lost all they fight

And I've tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted
And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it
And it's a shame that most of y'all are followin' sheep
Wallowin' deeper than the darkness, you're fallin' asleep
You won't believe the things I've seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
I've seen the beauty of the universe
So peaceful and serene
In seconds turn to violence and screams
I've seen and experienced things
That'll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death
I'm two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys
Evenly balanced seein' evil equally in each eye now
Maybe I'm the most thorough worker on the job to you
Or maybe I'm the one, who was plottin' to rob you
The fear of this beat down, the women on no cash to floss
Makes most of y'all hustle ya ass off
From nothin' to two mill', in five years I'll live to see it
Vanish in six months, with no tears believe it
I'll rock, twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace
See, they plan is to erase me, just to replace me
Life, your heart is one with your brain
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
Life, somebody callin' you insane
When overwhelmed and blessed
Burst in tears of happiness
Yo, yo, I've seen relationships that's so sick
Life long friendships so chaotic
Thug cat bangin' this chick but won't kiss
Drinkin' her spit, when coppin' a fix for dope bliss
I got a knife and a bat, to bust your brain
Put a knife in your back
"Once in the Life" I was trifle like that
Like my man Troy, who lost his days
Shootin' dice on worldly ways
And ended up in a early grave
Because once in a lifetime is rough
Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust
Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin' he tough
You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what
Now I'm on my knees, beggin', "God, please
Save me from the fires of hell, let water, water soul prevail,"
'Cos I can't take no more, who's that knockin', at, my door?
Is that you, Pete from Cobb's Creek, who died in my sleep?
We was playin' for fun, now it's keeps
Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet
And left in the garbage, damn, now that's cold hearted
Ask Book he saw it, "Yo black I ain't seen shit
Kids in the 6, they flip for nonsense"
Poke an icepick, smokin' that shit since preschool fool
And packin' a tool, fuck you Mom Dukes it's cool
You won't believe the things I've seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
I've seen the beauty of the universe
So peaceful and serene
In seconds turn to violence and screams
Life, your heart is one with your brain
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
Life, somebody callin' you insane
When overwhelmed and blessed
Burst in tears of happiness

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There are four artists by this name:

1. The Spooks: A late 90's HipHop/RnB-Band, similar to the Fugees. The group recorded "S.I.O.S.O.S., Vol. 1" in 1999 for Artemis Records. The album was a huge success in Europe but hardly made a dent in American markets. After attaining success throughout Europe with their record S.I.O.S.O.S., Vol. 1, Spooks garnered a hit with the single "Things I've Seen" (featured in the Laurence Fishburne film Once in the Life). Water-Water left the group before their second album Faster Than You Know and died in a car accident shortly before the album's release. The group disbanded soon afterwards, with little heard from the members since.

They are probably best known for their biggest UK hit 'Karma Hotel' which received heavy rotation on most commercial radio stations.

In 2009 Ming Xia appeared on Chali 2na's Fish Outta Water. One thing that is a constant across all reviews and comments about this group, is the utterly amazing vocals by the group's lead singer, Ming-Xia. As of 2008-2009, she has recorded some great solo songs that can be found for streaming at her website... www.MingMusik.com
