Kongos - I Wanna Know Lyrics

I wanna know(X7)

What's it gonna take
Are we gonna forever
Make the same mistake
I wanna know
Will you take a stand
Will you raise a hand
For your brother's sake

You talk about the deluge
You talk about centrifuge
You got something to prove
Tell me[Pause]
Who's eyes you gonna use

And I[Long] yeah I[Long]
What's it gonna take(What's it gonna take)
And you[Long] yeah you[Long]
What's it gonna be(What's it gonna be)

I wanna know(X8)

What's it gonna be
Gotta another theory
You want me to hear
Taking your refuge in your reason
Just to beat the fear
That we don't know why we're here

Even cold hard facts
Have got a way of changing
Their stripes in the light of a new day
The world we hold so tight and true
Turn it on it's head

And I[Long] yeah I[Long]
What's it gonna take(What's it gonna take)
And you[Long] yeah you[Long]
What's it gonna be(What's it gonna be)

I wanna know(X8)
[Crazy Solo]

Living under pretense
Always on the defense
Always on the fence
Tell me[Pause]
What's it gonna be

And I[Long] yeah I[Long]
What's it gonna take(What's it gonna take)
And you[Long] yeah you[Long]
What's it gonna be(What's it gonna be)

I wanna know(X8)

Nneke - Shining Star Lyrics

In the madness, in this world with its swiftness and its coldness
You're my peace of mind, yes
When the world just keeps turning and I know not where to head to
You're my peace of mind
And when I look up in the skies and see all that you have created
Nothing else does count but your everlasting love[Long]

Oh oh oh oh shining star, when you smile down at me
Ohhh what you are, when you look down at me
Beautiful star, do keep your eyes on me
Oh oh oh oh what you are, when you look down at me

Despite my greed, you wanted just me
Though I am hard strict, still you love me
I appreciate you baby
And though you seem so far away
You are so near I can feel you
Your light that dwells within my mind
And I know you're sometimes lonely
And oh I wish that I could change it
But glad I know you still got me
And I pray my love would give you life to help you breath
To keep your smile, my shining star
So take my love and live[Long] ehhhhh

Ohhh Shining star, when you smile down at me
Ohhh what you are, when you look down at me
With you[Long], I, I feel love
When you[Long], place your light on me, I feel warmth

Ohhh Shining star, when you smile down at me
Ohhh what you are, when you look down at me
Beautiful star, do keep your eyes on me
Oh oh oh oh what you are, when you look down at me

When you smiling, I smile[Long]
When you live like it
When you die like that oooh
You[Long] are my shining star, I know what you are.

SCENE I. Venice. A street.

Enter ANTONIO, SALARINO, and SALANIO

 

ANTONIO

Eish, I've been so down and out lately and ek weet nie why. We all sick to death of me being sad and I haven't the slightest idea of how i got like this. En if I don't know why then i don't understand myself at all.

 

SALARINO

Listen here my bru, you're thinking about your ships too much. They're fine and I know they are! They mos groot in the big blue! All the klein ships have to foetsak!

 

SOLANIO

Ya but its like this my man. I'd be so sad too if I had ships to worry about. All that moola out on the sea with the chances of it being sunken! Ne but that would make me worry too much!

 

SALARINO

Ya, I would also worry! I mean, all that geld on the water. It could all go in a second and then where would you be! I'd be bankrupt. That's why Antonio poes worried. I'd be poes worried too!

 

ANTONIO

Ne bra! That's not the reason! I'm poes rich and those ships aren't my only way of hitting the jackpot you know. That's not why I'm like this...

 

SOLANIO

Ah, Is it a Cherry?

 

ANTONIO

Don't start your shit, ok...

 

SOLANIO

So its not a bint either? Ag ya, lets just say you're just being a bitch because you're a bitch. You know, it would be easier for you just to be happy than sad. Ouens these days, they all have problems. Some laugh and some are always moody. Hulle ouens are all dooses.

 

BASSANIO, LORENZO, and GRATIANO enter.

 

Here comes your cousin Bassanio. Shit, and there's Gratiano and Lorenzo too! Come, lets go, these poeses are better than us.

 

SALARINO

 

I would stay but your 'tjomies' are here.

ANTONIO

You're both very precious to me, no homo. But its chilled. Go take care of your own work.

 

SALARINO

BASSANIO

BASSANIO

GRATIANO

What's your problem bra? You have to relax and enjoy life man. I'm telling you man! Look after yourself!

 

ANTONIO

This place, its all the same. Its like this Gratiano, we all have a part to play, I play the depressed fuck that no one likes...

 

GRATIANO

Then ill be the douche that no one likes... I'd prefer losing my liver over booze than not have fun and party. There's too many bitches in the world to ignore bru! I talk too much in the real play so I'm just gonna say, stop being a lil bitch and be happy! I already know enough bitches!  Lets go Lorenzo, ill fix you after dinner Antonio.

 

LORENZO

I must be a bitch too since he never lets me get a word in! (laugh) Check you at dinner bro.

 

GRATIANO

(laughs) You are a little bitch already Lorenzo!

 

ANTONIO

Schweet man, I'm not a bitch!

 

GRATIANO

Good! The only things that should be bitches are bitches and pussies!

 

GRATIANO and LORENZO exit

 

ANTONIO

Is he lekker?

 

BASSANIO

Gratiano talks more shit than a curry take-away... His lectures are of the same consistency...

 

ANTONIO

So now who's this bint? The one you planning on tapping? You said you would tell me boet?

 

BASSANIO

Antonio, you know I'm poes poor! Bitches, they cost more than you think...Thats why you're lucky you're gay. I owe you and many other people. I'm addicted to that pussy my man. But I've got a plan for both those problems.

 

ANTONIO

Bro, I'm not gay... Tell me this plan and maybe i'll give you my money.

 

BASSANIO

Oh fuck, I thought you were? Sorry bru, my bad. Anyway, theres this story about some arrow but its poes boring so ill just tell you straight, I don't know if our friendship is good enough but gee vir my some moola and ill take care of what I owe you. Plus, the bitches will be good!

 

ANTONIO

You being a doos now. A bigger doos than usual. We're tjomies, Ill give you what you need. Just tell me what its for you bliksem

 

BASSANIO

Ok, so this bint, Her name is Portia, like the car... Except the car rides better but she's still sexy and a good person. Like she's lekker. A lekker meisie! She's rich! Poes rich. I need money so that I can win her over because all the other doos men have money and they want her. She's like that Asian girl at teasers that everyone wants but only the rich businessmen get...

 

ANTONIO

Ahh my bru, all my money is with ships and shit so I can't give you the cash but like go get money using my credit. Ill do the same and I'm sure some poes owes me and will give me money so it will be schweet! Sound lekker??

 

They exit.

 

That's scene 1 guys. If you like it, I'll write the rest of it and maybe I'll do most of his famous plays.

Thank you!
