Van NUL tot NU - Brainpower

't Is tijd voor een verhaaltje,
Van nul tot nu
Ik neem je mee naar antwerpen (ok)

M'n ouders namen tijd thuis voor een nieuwe telgje
Geboren in het Middelheims ziekenhuis in Belgie.
Februarie de vijfde in '75.
'k Zag m'n lijf in levende lijve, de vibe van leven en
'k Voel me verblijd tot deze tijden en mocht ik met
Een fijne meid een kleine krijgen, zou me meesterlijk lijken
De Frankrijklijn, de koninklijke en de Sterrelaan
Die voorliefde voor wapens komt ergens vandaan
De eerste jaren, flink, meteen, ik brak m'n linkerbeen
En spleet ook nog even bijna ook de schedel van m'n brain
De dokter hechtte onverdoofd met naald en draden
Totdat m'n zusje net me bekogelde met de limonade
En op de dag van nu moet ik d'r nog om lachen
Zebracakejes van de GB, dat was prachtig
Je hoort me hier niet vaak over praten maar daarom breng ik tracks
Bedankt, pa en ma die eerste jaren waren vet relaxed

Van nul tot nu, geen flauwe kul meer nu
Dit zijn gulde mulde verhalen, ik vertel het u
Van nul tot nu, blijf babbelen en brabbelen
En kabbelen en kabbelen, ups en downs vanalles, he (ben bijna 4)

Alphen aan de Rijn, daar ging ik heen toen het '78 was
Een levendige gast in alle voor in gepast
Lizzy was geboren, ik was leuk verast
En met m'n hartsvriedin Simone naar Jip en Janneke's kleuterklas
Transformers, He-Man, ik was een Starwars-smurf
En ik heb heel wat afgeknurfd op die Vasteburcht
Niet al te breed maar wat waren die tijden tof, G
Net een paar kleine schoffies als Ingmar, Matthijs en Bobby
Rockte met bandjes en m'n boeken in m'n rugtas
En was cool mody in de playbackshow in de brugklas
Toch werd ik tweede en verloor dus zeker
Fietsend naar huis in het donker en nam me voor om later door te breken
Op het lyceum, vele strugles en een boel lol
De enige waar ik nu nog mee hang zijn Roy, Sjoerd en Mol
Genoeg problemen, maar dit was het fijnst
De laatste eindexamendag en die werkweek in Parijs (m'n hook komt met Michiel)

Van nul tot nu, geen flauwe kul meer nu
Dit zijn gulde mulde verhalen, ik vertel het u
Van nul tot nu, blijf babbelen en brabbelen
En kabbelen en kabbelen, ups en downs en vanalles, he

Vanaf '93 was alles anders
Mensen gingen eigen wegen, zeker en dingen waren veranderd
Michiel werd ziek, sommige gasten zaten zelfs vast
Pakte m'n tas en ging naar Amsterdam en Kas
Hip-hop, mijn geloof in Paradiso was de Graal
Slapen op centraal, na de B-Boy in de kleine zaal
Maar al te vaak werd dit joch gedist
Maar ik kwam waar ik nu ben, dus als je dat nog doet, fuck die shit
Zwier van woning naar woning en ik had veelal haast
Bijlmer buitenvelde, 't zuid, Noordoosterlebenstraat
Tot aan het centrum, de plek die me lief is
Ontmoette TLM we oefenden ons de tyfus
Hing met Know How, Too Tall en Bastian
Zag vaker dames maar één bleek de echte hen
Omstandigheden lieten het niet toe, tja, 't is hoe
Ik wederom single ben als een lyricistre-issue
En als je die niet vat dan ben je lekker leek
En komt er 11 jaren na m'n eerste raps m'n freestyles chaptertape
Won de grote prijs en wreed, gast, en deed m'n shit
Totdat m'n eerste clip in 2000 op t.v. was (de rest die ken je)

Van nul tot nu, geen flauwe kul meer nu
Dit zijn gulde mulde verhalen, ik vertel het u
Van nul tot nu, blijf babbelen en brabbelen
En kabbelen en kabbelen, ups en downs en vanalles, he

Fireflies - Owl City

You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten Million Fireflies
Light Up The World As I Fell Asleep
Cause They Fill The Open Air
And Leave Teardrops Everywhere
You'd Think me Rude
But I Wouuld Just Stand And stare
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems

Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs
From Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Tried To Teach Me How To Dance
A Foxtrot Above My head
A Sockhop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball Is Just hanging By A thread

I'd Like To make Myself Believe

That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake

When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
When I Fall Asleep

Leave My Door Open Just A crack
Please Take Me Away From Here
Cause I Feel Like Such An Insomniac
Please Take Me Away From Here
Why Do I Tire Of Counting Sheep
Please Take Me Away From Here
When I'm far Too Tired To Fall Asleep
To Ten Million Fireflies
I'm Weird Cause I Hate Goodbyes
I Got Misty Eyes As They Said Farewell
But I'll Know Where Several Are
If My Dreams Get Real Bizzare
Cause I Saved A Few

And I Keep Them In A Jar

I'd Like To make Myself Believe

That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake

When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
When I Fall Asleep

I'd Like To make Myself Believe

That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake

When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
When I Fall Asleep

I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say I'd Rather Stay Awake

When I'm Asleep
Because My Dreams Are Bursting At The Seams

One - A Chorus Line

Boys:
One singular sensation
Every little step he takes.
One thrilling combination
Every move that he makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do;
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.

One moment in his presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the guy is second best
To none,
Son.
Ooooh! Sigh! Give him your attention.
Do...I...really have to mention?
He's the One?

She walks into a room
And you know

Girls:
She's un-
Commonly rare, very unique,
Peripatetic, poetic and chic.

All:
She walks into a room
And you know from her
Maddening pose, effortless whirl,
She's the special girl.

Stroll-ing,
Can't, help,
All of her qualities extol-ling.
Loaded with charisma is my
Jauntily sauntering, ambling shambler.

She walks into a room
And you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade.
She's the quintessence of making the grade.
This is whatcha call
Trav-ling.
Oh, strut your stuff!
Can't get enough

Of her.
Love her.
I'm a son of a gun,
She is one of a
Kind...

Innocence - Avril Lavigne

Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliance, please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by.
