Infectious Grooves - Slo-Motion Slam Lyrics

You can't deny what i'm giving

And i ain't gonna get it no more!

Infectious Grooves - Slo-Motion Slam Lyrics

You can't deny what i'm giving

And i ain't gonna get it no more!

Shut it up or put it up

Please be forgiving

For i've sinned in no one's eyes except for you

What you got is not for me

And everything i got you decline to see

Adjust to see what is true

I truly don't need it

And i truly don't want it

And i truly don't matter

And i truly don't care

Slo-motion slam

Break - from all about

Trip - without a doubt

Move - and so you get it so you gotta be good

Stop - and so you need it 'have they say that you should

Wait - and so flip it 'do you ain't got the sound

Go - and so you get on the 2nd time 'round

And so you get it

'cause you ever got to do what you see

And everybody's always trippin'

On the things they can't be

And no one's ever got a moment

But they're wasting my time

And someone's always looking

Lyrics provided by http://www.kovideo.net/

For the things you can't find

Slo-motion slam

And when you see it don't always look away

And everybody's livin' in a

Slo-motion slam

Move on and when you get it

Don't ever set it free

And now you love you're livin' in a

Slo-motion slam

Don't give don't always render up

Don't always make in never open it away

And now you need to be in a

Slo-motion slam slo-motion slam it

Lies what you're living

But i decline to be your life no more

I ain't gonna go away

You made the plot but not the rules i play

And i'm declaring it war

You can't deny what we're giving

And we ain't gonna get it no more

Shout - hallelujah

But there ain't no shout that's gonna save my soul

Screams - echo thru me

It's always in a campaign to win control

We truly don't need it

We genuinely don't want it

And it really don't count and we truly don't care

Living life in a slo-motion slam

They say we can't do it

And they say we ain't supposed to

They say we better not

But we say we don't care

We don't care!

Factions slam PA, Israel for killing of civilian, detention of .

resistance factions denounced the Israeli killing of an older man in Al-Khalil city on Friday and the snatch of five hunger strikers, saying these crimes are direct results of the Palestinian Authority's security cooperation with Israel.

Islamic Jihad said that the PA's security collaboration with Israel reached a really good level which entails a decisive national position against it.

It added that these crimes unveiled once again how thin the security situation is in the West Bank which resulted from the Fatah-controlled PA's security commitments towards the Israeli occupation.

The Movement stressed that such crimes also proved further that the legitimate weapon in occupied Palestine is the one able to represent the Palestinian people and protect them against the Zionist threats and dangers.

For its part, the democratic resistance movement stated that the Israeli detention of the five hunger strikers after their departure from PA jails confirmed the PA's involvement in this crime.

The democratic resistance stressed that the PA's persistence in cooperating with the Israeli occupation against its mass is a national crime and a loss from the Palestinian norms and values.

Hizbuttahrir, for its part, said that the shameful positions demonstrated by the PA and Arab leaders towards Israel's barbarism encourage it to remain in its violations against the Palestinian people.

The popular movement for the dismissal of Palestine also condemned the cleanup of an elderly man and the snatch of political hunger strikers immediately after their departure from PA jails.

It emphasized that such crimes would never give the staunchness of the Palestinian people and the volition of their resistance.
