Hiding the tote, runnin the coastMakin niggas catch the Holy GhostI'm realer than most, whaThe trendsetter, the Brooklyn repperYou know the routineSmoke you like a ciggarette-rWe've been, out in a bitY'all still talkin shitAin't that a bitch?What part of the game was this?
[Lil' Kim singing]Millions I'm holdin'Drop tops rollin'Diamonds on my neckAnd Bentley ballin'Me and my niggas gettin' high all dayStraight to the top, cuz we on our way
[Lil' Kim rapping]Comin' for y'all, comin' for y'allThat's right I got something for y'allSomething for y'all, whaGod bless me, look at all I've been throughIt's my time, I can feel it, can't you?
[Phil Collins]I can feel it coming in the air tonightOh LordAnd I've been waiting for this momentFor all my lifeOh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Comin' for y'all, comin' for y'allThat's right I got something for y'allSomething for y'all, whaGod bless me, look at all I've been throughIt's my time, I can feel it, can't you?
[Phil Collins]
Well, if you told me, you were drowningI would not a lend a handI've seen your face before my friendBut I don't know if you know who I amWell I was there and I saw what you didSaw it with my own two eyesSo you can wipe off that grinI know where you've beenIt's all been a pack of lies
I can feel it coming in the air tonightOh LordAnd I've been waiting for this momentAll my lifeOh Lord, Oh Lord

I don't know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it's obviously in anger. It's the angry side, or the bitter side of a separation. So what makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started many years ago, particularly in America, of someone come up to me and say, 'Did you really see someone drowning?' I said, 'No, wrong'. And then every time I go back to America the story gets Chinese whispers, it gets more and more elaborate. It's so frustrating, 'cos this is one song out of all the songs probably that I've ever written that I really don't know what it's about, you know.

Surely it's something that you'd scream. Not quietly beckon someone over and suggest to them that, like, they might not mind lending a hand.....

I was really sad to learn that the murderer story was a hoax--about a day after I first heard it (the story, not the song).
The great thing about Phil Collins is that these songs have aged really well precisely because he's a drummer and he had a great ear for good tones.

What a song. I spent some time air drumming to this. The best part about it is the inspiration behind it, my understanding being it is somewhat Phil collins’s own musical version of Death Wish. As the story goes a man was out boating on a bay when the boat capsized and sank and he did not know how to swim and unfortunately did not have a life preserver with him. Phil was at the same place that day but was up on a bluff, and too late noticed this man in distress shouting for help. He noticed a single individual on the beach just watching and Phil ran down but by the time he arrived this man had vanished beneath the waves and drowned. The other man could have helped but chose not to. Phil made an attempt to press charges but there were no other witnesses. Years later Phil decided to track the man down and invited him to a concert, with a front row center seat. He sang this song to the man while staring at him and the lights in the stadium lowered except for a single spotlight on the man, who eventually according to those who were there realized who Phil was, the same man from the beach all those years before. The man committed suicide shortly after the show was over out of shame and humiliation. Kind of a cool story about justice. Phil never speaks about it or the song I guess only two people really knew the truth at the time and one of them is dead it took a lot of detective work for people to get to the real inspiration behind this song.
