Hard Landing

my mother said to me
you don't know what you're doing, boy
my father confessed
i don't know what you're doing, boy
my brother complained to me
i don't know what i'm doing here
but my lover whispered sweet
i love what you're doing

& it's gonna be
a hard landing tonight
just you wait & see
everything's gonna turn out all right

my friend charlie said
a poet is like an albatross
who glides above the waves
that men so roughly toss
but bring it to the deck
& it might as well be lame
my friend charlie said
"i don't want to play their game"

yeah, it's gonna be
a hard landing tonight
but just you wait & see, chuck
everything's gonna turn out all right

just you dream aloft
all those dying thoughts
just take to the air
you're no longer there

you know at night i dream
about hank & babe & cobb
my good friends dimaggio
& beara, we're gonna rob
the other team of dreamers
of their joy tonight
just step up to the plate
& knock that pitch right out of sight

& it's gonna be
a hard landing tonight
just you wait & see
everything's gonna turn out all right

[Manhattan Glutton]

Taking my time, walking the line
Nothing to complain about cause every thing's fine
I got problems, you know, but it's all for show
Pulling at strings in the undertow

It's so easy, it's so easy

One two three, you can't catch me
I'm melting right in with the scenery
My head is on straight, but maybe too high
Everything is better now that i've learned how to fly

It's so easy (you're coming down, you're coming down)
It's so easy (you're coming down, you're coming down)

You're in for a hard landing
You're in for some harsh truths
You're in for a crash landing in bad, bad times
If you had heed all the signs
And come around on your own dime
Maybe this could become easy too

Give me the time, and maybe some more
Why does being needy have to be such a chore?
I may be broke, but i'm standing straight
None of it's my problem because I feel great

Four five six, I'm happy but sick
The more I stay the same the more I burn down that wick
Let's pass the time with a dose of denial
Open up wide and brace for the inevitable

You said you want to change
but changing like that is not so easy

INTRO
Ace:

VERSE 1
Ace:
when i come into the songfight
i get excited like a thug on the way to a bar fight
i see the people and i wanna get rumblin
throwin up my rhymes 'til their heads start tumblin
you never know what i'll do to you
songfight is a moon
an' it's full so i'm a howl at you
one bark down you go?
ima head off sip my drink
drop it to 'em
like it's Cocamo

CHORUS
When I come into the songfight
(when I come when i come into the songfight)
Don't know what to do
(I got an idea and a pen and paper)
People hatin' on the songfight
(you haters better run)
A hard landing for you

VERSE 2
Scuby G:
lemme tellya how it's gonna be
2 votes for you song when there's 20 for me
you see, i wanna know how you think you'll win
when your over all mix sounds like rin tin tin
you people comin from the underground
my beat is hot and my mom said it's the best around
you can't argue with that jack, get back on track
Scuby G, rappin hard
lemme show you where it's at

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Ace:
When it comes to hard landin
Understandin that demandin
is not the way you're better off abandoning
give it up
what you did is not enough
gotta learn to play or learn to quit and give it up

Scuby G:
Yeah, I know you tired hard
and played guitar
but the only thing i heard
was a steaming pile of turd
no, it's not lookin good
didn't think that it would
move it over
move it over
now kick it to the curb

CHORUS

Hard Landing

By Steve Durand


They say that true love
Is a wonderful thing
When you find your soulmate
It can truly give you wings

It's like a dream when you ascend
To the heavens up above
That's what it feels like
When you fall in love

I once believed
That happy state was mine
I spent idyllic days
Floating on cloud nine

I thought my girl and me
Made the ideal pair
Until she kicked me out
Of her castle in the air

Looking back in hindsight
How stupid could I get
Like falling off the high wire
When you work without a net

It's a hard landing
When you come down from so high
It hurts to be back on earth
After soaring in the sky

I guess I flew too near the sun
That's how my wings got singed
I'm gonna need a parachute
If I ever fly again

[ujnhunter]

Chthonic Youth - Hard Landing (R. Mosquito & Ujn Hunter)

You must have been wounded and afraid
to act like a child and disobey

The ties they grow brittle and they fray
deceit emboldens yet it will betray you too

Fascile, the smooth descent from
the ether to Gehinnom

Empires of stars and circles sown

Headlong impact birthing the new dawn
Headstrong, in treason he delights us

So far removed from the sun/son
for everything that you have done

Whence and what art thou
execrable shape of adama?

All obedience and faith
canvas for Sin’s beguiling

Seduced by fraud and pretense
your knowledge amounts to nothing

Cast out before the morning/mourning

Would you still hold great anger
if you had known that you would fall?

Hard Landing (Worst Case Scenario)

Steam on the window from the science
We saw what you stole from the lab

Did ya think that we didn't see?
Yes we monitor our employees?
We got a big honking camera inside that pale creepy doll

It monitor's everything
Yes, we also did see
When you scanned your ass on the copy machine

It's gonna be a hard landing for you my friend, as the Gargantuan Monkey Fist comes after you again
Be a hard landing for you my friend, as the Gargantuan Monkey Fist comes after you again

It lurks and creeps all just for you
You'll never know what just hit you
The monkey fist is really strong
Like Fezzik from the Brute Squad

Last time we broke your thumbs
We wont make that mistake
We'll break you and make you show us where that it's stashed

Did ya think we wouldn't see?
Yes we monitor our employees
Prepare for whippy in the worst case scenario

Did ya think that we didn't see?
Yes we monitor our employees?
We got a big honking camera inside that pale creepy doll

It monitor's everything
Yes, we also did see
When you scanned your ass on the copy machine

It's gonna be a hard landing for you my friend, as the Gargantuan Monkey Fist comes after you again
Be a hard landing for you my friend, as the Gargantuan Monkey Fist comes after you again
Be a hard landing for you my friend, as the Gargantuan Monkey Fist comes after you again
