Everything Lyrics

What would you do if a viscous enemy suddenly started coming at you?
Armed to the teeth and ready to kill you
Uhm?
The land of milk and honey don't seem to be nowhere
Joe took a gat to Johnny, it's family affair
His sister's in the bathroom cryin' tears of despair
'Cause when you can't recover?
How's it feel to be a mother and the father don't seem to be nowhere?
So check the hard line we all be carrying
Seems like the dollar bill we be marrying
Tag teams assaulting my brain
Well, I'm breaking out, no more sighing or carrying on or crying
As they abuse your emotions so that you can be used
It just a ruse, a plot to cook ya goose
Like blackmail, the ultimate untruth
As every day people get pressure close hand
Nerves are frames to the very last stand
And when they snap who knows?
Who can say which way the wind blows?
I'm not rising no kinda crusade
Just trying a see if sense can persuade
Let there be light surprise visualize
Get a vision and open ya eyes
All I wanna do is get it through to you
We're picking up the pieces and we're making new
All I wanna do is get it through to you
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
Well, I've been digging deep in the archives
Kicking it live, overdrive 'till sunrise
I realize how to break the fiction
'Cause every place really ain't no different
Fast food, fast living every coast, individuals turn to a ghost
Playing host to girls in windows
On ground level it's all the same lingo
Manny places, people in limbo
Can't change a thing, can't change a thing though
It's all cut throat down to the last note
It all heave ho down from the word go
No originals, everything reproduced, even down to my juice
So come-a, come-a, come-a check me out
I wanna know if we can turn about
Turn around and maybe see what's missin'
If you've nothing to say, sit back and listen
Get a vision
All I wanna do is get it through to you
We're picking up the pieces and we're making new
All I wanna do is get it through to you
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
If you're dragging pick it up, we'll go deeper every cut
Blow the siren when ya stuck, get a vision, liven up
If you're dragging pick it up, we'll go deeper every cut
Blow the siren when ya stuck, get a vision liven up

Stereo MCs are a hip hop and alternative dance group formed in 1985 in London, England. The group consists of Rob Birch (vocals), Nick "The Head" Hallam (turntables, production), and Ian "Owen If" Rossiter (drums). They are best known for their 1992 single "Connected", which was a transatlantic top 20 hit.

Vocalist Rob Birch and DJ)/producer Nick Hallam founded their Gee Street recording studio and record label with money they were given to leave their London flat and, dispensing with using a backing band, travelled to early gigs on public transport.

They recorded their debut album, 33-45-78 in 1989 on a shoestring budget, with DJ Cesare, drummer Owen If and backing vocalist Cath Coffey. In 1990, "Elevate My Mind" became first British hip hop single to reach the United States R&B record chart. However, in the emerging UK alternative dance scene, it took an alliance with the Jungle Brothers to ensure chart success for Supernatural. Remix work for U2, PM Dawn, Queen Latifah, The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Monie Love and Electronic followed.

Their live band included singers Andrea Bedassie and Verona Davis, and they were one of the few hip hop acts to play at rock music festivals at the time. Stereo MCs' mainstream breakthrough came in 1992 with the album Connected, which contained the hit singles "Connected", "Step It Up", "Creation", and "Ground Level", and also won them the BRIT Awards for Best Group and Best Album.

The follow-up to Connected did not appear for almost a decade. Further remix duties for Madonna and the Jungle Brothers in 1998 kept the Stereo MCs' name in the limelight. Madonna went on to use the Stereo MCs remix of "Frozen" as the basis of the live arrangement of the song on her 2001 Drowned World Tour.

2001 saw the release of Deep Down & Dirty, followed by a tour including slots opening for the recently re-united Jane's Addiction. Their sixth studio album, Double Bubble, was released in July 2008, followed by their seventh album, Emperor's Nightingale, in August 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
