Nelly Furtado – “All Good Things” Lyrics
December 23, 2008 | Filed Under Favourite Songs | Leave a Comment
don’t like reality
It’s way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don’t see
Missed everything daydreaming
[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I’ll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don’t cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day ’til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

Brooklyn, We Go Hard // 12.22.08 Update
December 22, 2008 | Filed Under A Day in the Life, Favourite Songs, Music Discussion | Leave a Comment
it’s been a long time since i’ve written. i could bring up very logical reasons why i haven’t been writing (like my insanely-busy schedule) but truly, i just haven’t been in the mood to write for a while. on a daily basis, i put myself out there on a platter in one way, shape or form and every day, others (though it may not be many) look upon my life and make observations/judgments or take inspiration from it.. and for the past few months, i’ve been so focused on making positive changes within my companies as well as in my personal life that i just wanted a break from sharing my thoughts as well as my life.
it isn’t a matter of regretting the career/life choices i’ve made thus far, nor does it reflect a shift in my approach towards marketing for any of our companies. i just haven’t been up to it.
if i had to put it to words, i’d have to say i’ve enjoyed the past four or so months since i returned to Toronto from my last Vancouver trip.. i’ve re-settled my mind and my objectives a fair bit, and i’ve been learning not to always put so much pressure and expectation on myself. (that being said, i don’t think it’s possible for me to ever not work hard on or pursue something i believe in, so until i’m absurdly rich, the 18-hr work days will continue.)
in the past three months, i’ve learned a lot about myself (as i always do) and i’ve met a lot of great new friends, many of whom have inspired me to continue to push towards surpassing my own expectations, and some who will undoubtedly remain integral parts of my life for years to come. work has been incredibly positive, as we’ve begun implementing new initiatives on our existing projects as well as branching towards our upcoming projects.
none of that has any part to do with why i’m suddenly writing again though. my manager’s been asking me to resume these entries for over a month, but today, i feel like writing. i think i’ve been blessed with the opportunity to lead the life i lead, and not a day goes by where i don’t realize the work my parents and ancestors had to put in for my life (as i know it) to have even been possible. beyond that, i think i’m even more fortunate to have the opportunity to share myself with others whenever i choose to, as not everyone has the audience that i do, and it humbles me to see that others (few as they may be) still continue to read about and be receptive of my life and thoughts.
i just finished working my 3rd consecutive club night of a long and very very interesting weekend, and having taken a few hours to relax, eat and generally unwind, i’m again ready to take on another week – Happy Holidays everyone!
8:11am, a day in the life..

“This is black hoodie rap,
There’s no fear in my eyes where they’re lookin at.“
- Jay-Z, “Brooklyn We Go Hard“
i was originally thinking of writing about my favourite new band, but the context of my favourite song from them wouldn’t have matched my mood at the moment, so here it is instead – Jay-Z’s unapologetic reminder to the rap world that he, the Jigga man, is still the boss, and Brooklyn is what he reps. not a lot else to say – Hova still comes with the clever quips that are his trademark, and Santogold (who?!) is the perfect compliment to the track; this joint kills it.
This is black hoodie rap,
There’s no fear in my eyes where they’re lookin at.
betta look a map
be-sides me not like ta eye fight
me not think such a ting is worth a man’s life, right!
but if a man tests my style,
I promise he won’t like my reply
boom bye bye, like Buju I’m crucial
I’m a Brooklyn boy, I may take some gettin’ used to
change snatchin, ain’t have it, gotta get it
same itd from Brownsville to Bain bridge
fatherless child, mama pulled double shifts
so the number runners was the only one to hang widdeth
before u know it, i’m in the game bang fiddeth
feel no orang utans pid-eel kid-aps like orangeses, i’m dangerous
Please tell me what the name of this
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
(Jay-Z)
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I Jack, I Rob, I sin, I man, I’m Jackie Robinson
‘cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, Luckily they didn’t get me
Now when I bring the Nets I’m the black Branch Ricky
From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn hippie
I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T
with no his-story, in my borough, they borrow
With no intentions of returning tomorrow
The Sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
half orphan, mama never had an abortion
papa sorta did, still I managed to live
I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
now please tell me what the f@#k harder than this?
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K … L-Y-N come again!
(Santogold)
Well I’m doin my time due to circumstance
Crossed that bridge, face the consequence
Once bid 10, now I payed my dues
Risk takers we break the rules.
Gets so dark, but I see good.
Bedstuy stay high in my neck of the woods.
Now let it rain now, it’s a warning
Brooklyn let it be sworn in
Gotta make you think workin like we blue collar
rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder
right until we quit, bring it to the floor
One step, one step, give it up more
the road is rough and the streets a mess
got big cash dreams and a sick death wish
robbin out the commercial stash
to kill the voice screamin in my head
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
