blame game


Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call her names, names, for sure.


I'll call you bitch for short as a last resort and my first result.
You call me motherfucker for long,
At the end of it you know we both were wrong.


But I love to play the blame game, I love you more.
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call her names, names, for sure.


On a bathroom wall I wrote
"I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else" (else, else, else)
I took a piss and dismiss it and went and found somebody else
Fuck arguing harvesting the feelings, I'd rather be by my fucking self
Till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself
Somebody help


You weren't perfect but you made life worth it
Stick around, real feelings might surface
Been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom gripping you up fuckin and choking you
What the hell was I supposed to do
I know you aint getting this type of dick from that local dude
And if you are I hope you are have a good time
Cause I definitely be having mine


And you aint finna see a mogul get emotional
Every time I hear bout other nigga's stroking you
Might say I hit you
He sitting there consoling you
Runnin my name through the mud
Who's provoking you
You should be grateful a nigga like me ever noticed you
Now you noticeable and cant nobody can control you
1 A.M. and can't nobody get a hold of you
I'm calling your brothers phone like what was I supposed to do
Even though I knew, he never told the truth
He was just gon say whatever you gon told him too
At a certain point I had to stop asking questions
Chuck dirt on eachother like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money
Dat aint right girl
You getting blackmailed for that white girl
You always said Yeezy I ain't you're right girl
Probably find one of them "I like art" type girls
All of the lights, she was caught in the hype girl
And I was satisfied being in love with the lie
And who to blame, you to blame, me to blame
For the pain and it poured every time it rained
Let's play the blame game...


Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.


Things used to be, now they not
Anything but us is who we are
Disguising ourselves as secret lovers
We've become public enemies
We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We erased one another
So far from where we came
With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely


Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call her names, names, for sure.


I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
No, I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much


And I know that you are somehwere doing your thing
And when the phone called it just ring and ring
You aint pick up but your phone accidently called me back
And I heard the whole thing.
I heard the whole thing, the whole thing, the whole thing...





Ohh my God..
Baby you done took this shit to another motherfucking level
Now a neighbourhood nigga like me aint supposed to be gettin no pussy like this
Damn, Damn!, who thought you how to get sexy

(Yeezy thought me)

You never use to talk dirty, but now you damn disgusting,
My, my God, where'd you learn that?

(Yeezy thought me)

Look at you.. naked.. with them.. Jimmy Choos off.
Who thought you how to put some ... Jimmy Choos on?

(Yeezy thought me)

Yo you took your game up a whole 'nother level, this is some Cirque 'u Soleil now!
You done went all porno on it, k. And I, and I love it..
And I thank you, I thank you, my dick thanks you!
How did you learn, how.. how did your game come up?

(Yeezy thought me)

I was ... parts of your pussy I never ... before.
I was in there like oo I never been here before. I've never even seen this part of town before.
It's like you got this ... re-upholstered or something. What the fuck happened?
Who, who the fuck got your pussy all re-upholstered?

(Yeezy re-upholstered my pussy)

You know what, I got to thank Yeezy.
And when I see that nigga Imma thank him.
Imma buy his album, Imma download that.. Imma shoot a bootlegger!
That's how good I feel about this...
Oww, I still can't believe you got me this watch. The exact... I wanted!
Even with the bezel! this is the... I wanted. I saw this, I saw it,
Twista had this on in The Source. I remember, Twista had this on in The Source.
That's right, that's right! Yo yo babe, yo yo this is the best birthday ever!
Where you learn to treat a nigga like this?

(Yeezy thought me)

Yeezy thought you well, Yeezy thought you well.

theme from nice guy

I could catch up to where you are
and see if we can make it right
if i thought meeting you somewhere in the dark
was gonna shed any new light
oh we'd sit around, we'd talk awhile
make polite excuses
but the cat has my tongue and i'm not saying much
'cause i get shy around bullshit

my new time-piece is watching ice melt
down the bottom of my glass
and i love to watch them fuses burn
down towards their future plans
gets me thinking about - it's time to empty out
these pockets of their idle hands
and sing la da dadada la da dadada

lock all the doors, pull the phone from the wall, run and hide
oh i used to be, i used to be such a nice guy

maybe clarity will creep up on me
and reset my senses like a clock
and you'll convince me that your reality
is a better idea than the one that i've got
and you'll give me a second chance at my second chance
and we will laugh about my near miss
and the good lord will reward my ignorance 
with a little bliss

and i'll see a welcome face in the mirror that i don't recognize
oh i used to be, i used to be such a nice guy
but now the details are vague, it's so strange, like a previous life
oh i used to be such a nice guy

but now you say i don't know when to admit that i'm lost -
when to stubbornly insist that i'm not
oh dear bless every thought in your thoughtful head.

new lifestyle change


Mauritania officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in North Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the west, by Western Sahara in the north, by Algeria in the northeast, by Mali in the east and southeast, and by Senegal in the southwest. It is named after theRoman province of Mauretania, even though the modern state covers a territory far to the southwest of the old province. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.
The civilian government of Mauritania was overthrown on 6 August 2008, in a military coup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April 2009, General Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July elections, which he won. In Mauritania about 20% of the population live on less than US $1.25 per day.

Mauritania has one of the lowest GDP rates in Africa, despite being rich in natural resources. However, a majority of the population still depends on agriculture and livestock for a livelihood, even though most of the nomads and many subsistence farmers were forced into the cities by recurrent droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Mauritania has extensive deposits of iron ore, which account for almost 50% of total exports. With the current rises in metal prices, gold and copper mining companies are opening mines in the interior.

talk show host

I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for
The birds, the birds, the birds

You want me, well fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You want me, well, come on and break the door down
You want me, fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready,
  I'm ready,
    I'm ready,
     I'm ready
        I'm ready

lifestyle change

Kiruna is the northernmost city in Sweden, situated in Lapland province, with 18,154 inhabitants in 2005. Archeological findings have shown that the region around Kiruna has been inhabited for at least 6,000 years. Centuries before Kiruna was founded in 1900, the presence of iron ore at Kiirunavaara and Luossavaara had been known by the local Sami population. In 1696,Samuel Mört, a bookkeeper of the Kengis works, wrote on the presence of iron in the two hills. Anders Hacksell mapped the area in 1736 and named the mountains Fredriks berg (Kiirunavaara) and Berget Ulrika Eleonora (Luossavaara), after king Fredrik I and his wife Ulrika Eleonora. Despite the findings of large amounts of ore, no mining was initiated because of the remote location and the harsh climate. Some ore was extracted in the 19th century by extracting it in summer and transporting it in winter, using sleds drawn by reindeer and horses.


Today Iron ore extraction is a key industry in the area, and the town is very dependent on the mining company LKAB. During World War II, large quantities of iron were transported from northern Sweden by rail to the east coast, and further down to be sold to Germany.

like the heart it is always working

Tongue
The tongue is a tough worker. It is made up of groups of muscles and like the heart it is always working. It helps in the mixing process of foods. It binds and contorts itself to form letters. The tongue contains linguinal tonsils that filter out germs. Even when a person sleeps, the tongue is constantly pushing saliva down the throat.

everybody's free

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97
 
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. 
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…


I will dispense this advice now. 


Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; 
oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. 
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked…


You’re not as fat as you imagine. 


Don’t worry about the future; 
or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. 
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; 
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. 


Do one thing everyday that scares you 


Sing 


Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, 
don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. 


Floss 


Don’t waste your time on jealousy; 
sometimes you’re ahead, 
sometimes you’re behind…


the race is long, 
and in the end, it’s only with yourself. 


Remember the compliments you receive,
forget the insults; 
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. 


Keep your old love letters, 
throw away your old bank statements. 


Stretch 


Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, 
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. 


Get plenty of calcium. 
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. 


Maybe you’ll marry, 
maybe you won’t, 
maybe you’ll have children,
maybe you won’t, 
maybe you’ll divorce at 40, 
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…


What ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much 
or berate yourself either – 
your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. 


Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, 
or what other people think of it, 
it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. 


Dance…
even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. 


Read the directions, 
even if you don’t follow them. 


Do NOT read beauty magazines, 
they will only make you feel ugly. 


Get to know your parents, 
you never know when they’ll be gone for good. 


Be nice to your siblings; 
they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. 


Understand that friends come and go,
but for the precious few you should hold on. 
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. 


Live in New York City once, 
but leave before it makes you hard; 
live in Northern California once, 
but leave before it makes you soft. 


Travel. 


Accept certain inalienable truths, 
prices will rise, 
politicians will philander, 
you too will get old, 
and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. 
Respect your elders. 


Don’t expect anyone else to support you. 
Maybe you have a trust fund, 
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; 
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, 
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. 


Be careful whose advice you buy, 
but, 
be patient with those who supply it. 
Advice is a form of nostalgia, 
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. 


But trust me on the sunscreen…
