It's just been one of those days
When nothing seems to be going right
And no ones there to lend a helping hand
Just an ordinary day
When it all seems like a fight
Just to make it to the promise land
Tell me how do you keep yourself from fallin
In the midst of all your doubts and all your fears
Tell me how do you keep yourself from drownin
And how do you find the strength to persevere
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok
Teardrops slowly fall from my eyes as I look to the sky
And I question how come life keeps passing me right on by
I just wonder why I can't escape is this my fate
To always be unhappy and how much longer must I wait
Tell me how do you keep yourself from fallin
In the midst of all your doubts and all your fears
Tell me how do you keep yourself from drownin
And how do you find the strength to persevere
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok
One day I know that I
Will truly find peace of mind
Happiness is not far away
Just around the corner comes
A sight of hope to release me from
My chains and set me free
Free so I can breathe
How do you keep yourself from fallin
How do you keep yourself from drowning
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok

(T. Gray/ R. Shaw/ B. Chapman)
Who knows?
Who knows the things she feels
Who sees?
Just how deep it really is
'cause everyday so much pain
'cause her world is in constant change
And if walls could talk who'd they blame
Guess we'll never know
And even though life is here
She don't feel like it's worth to live
'cause no matter how much she gives
The shadows hold on
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me
Like a child only human
Love is the beat of a lifetime it grows
To show us who we're meant to be
But she feels like a child
Who's mother left by the side of the road
And never came to see again
'cause everyday so much pain
'cause her world is in constant change
And if walls could talk who'd they blame
Guess we'll never know
And even though life is here
She don't feel like it's worth to live
'cause no matter how much she gives
The shadows hold on
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me
Like a child only human
If she was born again
Would things be different
Would she ever know
What it feels like to actually be loved
Would her life repeat
So we can blame it on history
But for right now
She needs someone
To show her love and affection
This girl was me
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me

(T. Gray/ D. Martin/ M. Fuller/ D. Joshua)
It's summertime, it's so hot
I'm wearing shorts a tank top and flip flops
I see birds flying in the blue sky
And marshmallow clouds floatin' by
School's out so it's the weekend everyday
From sun-up to sun-down in the hood we play
Our block party's jammin off the chain
We're lined up dancin' like we're on soul train
The live band sounds so good to me
With Derrick thumpin the bass
And Todd ticklin keys
Laron and Pat both droppin the beat
While Meshun and his boys supply the harmony
I wish this day didn't have to end
But 2morrow will come and we'll do it again
chorus
Let's take it back to the ol' days
When Mamma jammed to the OJay's
While cookin' breakfast on a Saturday
Those were the good ol' days
Let's take it back to the ol' days
When Daddy barbequed on Sunday
And Livin' life was just so easy
Those were the good ol' days
I still like fresh sweats, dreads and adidas
Boy, I only smiled just
2 let you know I see ya
I was the kinda girl
Who liked all the bad boys
When I was young
I lived for the fun and the
Joy my life brought, then
Life, was so carefree
And now that I'm grown
I wish I could go back to when
We would play hide and seek
Watch Schoolhouse Rock on tv
Fat Albert and Prince were my two favorite things
And “My Adidas” by Run DMC
Na'mean,
We're takin it back y'all
2 the place
When the cabbage patch rocked y'all
And the year
Was 1985 y'all
So go back in time with me

So many problems that you felt in your life
And it cuts like a knife
But remember to look for tomorrow
It's not long now
Put some love in your heart, put some heart in your love
And don't let the doubt steer you wrong
There'll be something out of nothing
When love comes along
You wanna have it all
But to get to the light, gotta get through the night
Don't let them hold you back, now
You're already there
Put some love in your heart, put some heart in your love
And don't let the doubt steer you wrong
There'll be something out of nothing
When love comes along
God bless the dreamer
God bless the child
God bless the dreamer
There'll be freedom, sweet freedom
When love comes along, oh yeah
Child just hold on to your faith, oh yeah
And every door will swing open
Don't throw hope away 'cuz you're gonna stay
With no fear in your heart, no, you've got to reach for your star
God bless the dreamer
God bless the child
God bless the dreamer
There'll be freedom, sweet freedom
When love comes along
Freedom, sweet freedom
Freedom, sweet freedom
I will never give up
I'll never give in
God bless the dreamer
God bless the child
God bless the dreamer
Freedom, sweet freedom

Playground, voices speak again
Thoughts of how we were in my head?
Tell me how we lost that innocence?
Like a child waking from a dream
Everything's not what it seemed
You were never really a friend to me, no
Must've thought I couldn't see it
That you were only down for the ride
And out for yourself
Now your bound by the life you left behind
'Cuz you kick me when I'm down, trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin' grip, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces?
Baby your so good at bein' what you ain't
Betta hold your breath, 'cuz honey it's too late
You've run right outta time, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces is it gonna be?
You pulled the wool right before my eyes
I was blinded by your disguise
Young and naive didn't wanna face reality, no no
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lies?
Whatcha think that I'd just sit back and let you use me, no
Must've thought I couldn't see it
But the tears'll be yours instead of mine
Now the charade is over
I'm leavin' you behind
To you kick me when I'm down, trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin' grip, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces?
Baby your so good at bein' what you ain't
Betta hold your breath 'cuz honey it's too late
You've run right outta time, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces is it gonna be?
Sorry's just a game you like to play to ease the pain
But words ain't good enough when it's all in vain
Is that what you think, I'm just that weak
That you could walk all over me
You betta think again
You kick me when I'm down trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin' grip, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces?
Baby your so good at bein' what you ain't
You betta hold your breath now 'cuz honey its too late
Runnin' outta time, baby your in too deep
Tell me which one of your faces is it gonna be?
You cut me with your lies then you sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin' grip
Tell me which one of your faces?
Betta hold your breath
Runnin' right outta time, baby your in too deep

(T. Gray/ B. Muhhamed/ B. Chapman)
Pretty brown eyed girl
She's so sweet and naive
She met a boy fell in love
Carved their name out in a tree
What a perfect memory
There's a swing out by the creek
They would meet there
He put a rose in her hair
Then she kissed him on the cheek
Those were the days of innocence
When a boy just liked a girl
But we didn't know the difference
We were livin in our own world
Chorus
All alone and then I close my eyes
I think back to that time of my life
When everything that meant anything was you
Messed things up grew up a little too fast
I knew it was much too good to last
'cause the only thing that meant anything was you
After church one Sunday morning
Near the bottom of the stairs
Hair pressed a pretty white dress
Playing a game of truth or dare
I can still hear my momma saying
Child you need to pray
I knew it was wrong
But it's been so long
Since I felt that way
Those were the days of innocence
When a boy just liked a girl
But we didn't know the difference
We were livin in our own world
Chorus
Starry skies under the moonlight
You and I two fireflies enchanted by the night
When I see a rainbow dance across the sky
I feel all warm inside
I get teary eyed
Makes me think about you and I

(T. Gray/Eg White)
I gotta say,
I must admit never thought
there would ever be someone to open my eyes
When you feelThe taste of it swept me away
Like a drug
Intoxicating, captivating
forces put me under a spell
And I don't feel afraid
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Passion so strong
I can't hold on
Pleasure I yearn
With every burn
Keeps me alive
Melting inside
As legend would have it told
You give me good love
I can taste
Emotions so deep living my wildest fantasies
Explore every single inch of me, baby
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away

Don't wanna listen to no radio, don't wanna see no TV show
'Cuz I been workin' hard all day, so tonight I'm goin' out to play
Leave a message on my telephone, y'all
If you come on by I won't be home, you know
Tonight is the night
When I'm just wanna leave it all behind
'Cuz I'm feelin' so right
So the DJ's gotta keep it tight
Feel the frequency, the rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing all night long
'Cuz I don't know why it feels like I'm on fire
I need to keep on dancing all night long
And when I walk through the door, the music takes control
I can feel the rhythm inside, it fills my heart and soul
Mr. DJ don't stop, keep the music pumpin'
Feel the bass and the club is jumpin'
On the floor everybody's dancing
Somethings comin' over me
Tonight is the night
When I'm just wanna leave it all behind
'Cuz I'm feelin' so right
So the DJ's gotta keep it tight
Feel the frequency, the rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing all night long
'Cuz I don't know why it feels like I'm on fire
I need to keep on dancing all night long
Hold on, stop, now
Shake it baby, shake it baby, shake it for me
You gotta work it baby, work it baby, work your body
You gotta clap it baby, clap it baby, clap for me
Now drop it alone, down to the floor
Shake it baby, shake it baby, shake it for me
You gotta work it baby, work it baby, work your body
You gotta clap it baby, clap it baby, clap for me
Now drop it alone, down to the floor
Tonight is the night
The DJ's gotta keep it tight, yeah
Feel the frequency, the rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing all night long
'Cuz I don't know why it feels like I'm on fire
I need to keep on dancing all night long
You feel the frequency, the rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing all night long
'Cuz I don't know why it feels like I'm on fire
