Under the Bridge (feat. Rama Duke) Lyrics

For the escapism i almost sold my soul underneath the bridge like a grumpy old troll
Hands pulling below inside of gray powdered snow for those cylindrical capsules I'd let my last dollar go
My emotions volatile on this powder
I'm irresponsible
I found my love take it in vain easing the pain from a while ago trying to turn my mind new however minute
my childhood was cool but liquid in the spoons making my past tolerable

As lonely as I am I wanted to die I drive on the street like she's my only companion hurting without her I'd certainly be deceased hanging a beast with things got unleashed anger that's only comment on my warm needle when it's pushed perfectly to my dirty feeble epidermis on my arm gone feeling numb like a foul that slumbering eternally in his fine tomb
I actually woke up to nurses inside of a white robe embalmed but I'm still in love with Misses Herron still glad that I put her on

At least I have her love together we cry
Im gonna stick with you

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (Yeah Yeah)

I tried to step into the light but it was blinding trying to cover up my tracks like a little Danny in the shining
in rehab she left me and it tore me apart
my God you could hear the scar tissue shatter inside of my heart
the same miss that save me from the abyss in the dark
became My muse assisted me with my twisted art
Her thorns sharp and
I'm the rose petal that fell from its pedestal unbearable God witnesses
the frozen princesses couldn't let it go
the interruption of a king my slim heroines Grin taught
me that I had even more to lose than everything
she kills suffering
she's too good to be true
they want to take my interest from syringe is but I'm a stick with you

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (yeah yeah)

Oh my god I found my love
I gave my kids away
I'm a stick with you

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

I'm in the middle of a storm nobody understands burying myself with my own hands
I'm high as Jim Morrison and I feel free
till I'm dead in the bathtub she staying with me
all I need is a push and a couple cc's
till my demons inside is are endangered species
She's my priestess and she gives me what this Priest needs
I'm gonna stick with you to I OD

Chino XL (born Derek Barbosa, April 8, 1971, in The Bronx, New York but raised in East Orange, New Jersey) is a rapper well respected among hip hop enthusiasts for his battling abilities. He is notorious for his usage of self-consciously over-the-top punchlines (which usually take the form of puns or similes) and for his exaggerated egotism. He is also well known to many for a brief feud with Tupac Shakur.

After a spell with the group Art Of Origin, Chino XL released his debut album Here To Save You All in 1996, a diverse work which included more conventional battle rap tracks (featuring Kool Keith and Ras Kass) alongside autobiographical tracks such as What Am I (which dealt with his heritage- half Puerto Rican, half African - background). The album got a very positive critical reception and is still regarded by many as one of the finest hip-hop albums of the nineties.

After building his reputation further by making several famous appearances freestyling on the Wake Up Show radio show, Chino incurred the wrath of Tupac Shakur in Tupac's track Hit 'Em Up. This is believed to be as a result of a simile on his debut album in a track called Riiiot, which read "by this industry, I'm trying not to get fucked like 2Pac in jail". The ambiguity over where the simile begins possibly caused confusion, but nevertheless Chino soon responded in a radio freestyle. However, Tupac did not respond back and was soon dead due to an unresolved shooting in Las Vegas. Chino XL has since explained that he greatly respected Tupac and used his line simply as a metaphor and meant no disrespect.

Following a long period of inactivity, Chino's second album I Told You So was released in 2001. It was decidedly more battle rap-oriented than his debut, and featured a slightly more commercial production style. It received reasonably positive reviews but received little promotion and did not sell particularly well. Despite the positive underground reaction to I Told You So, another period of relative inactivity followed the album's release, during which Chino moved to California and proclaimed himself officially a West Coast artist. His highly anticipated third album, entitled Poison Pen, was eventually released in January, 2006. After Poison Pen, in 2006, his album Warning, hosted by King Tech, was released in the same year.

Aside from music, Chino has also recently forged a career in acting, appearing in several films and making a guest appearance in the sitcom Reno 911. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
