How could it be?
You would turn your back on me
After all the love we've shared.
How can I say? (How should I say)
It seems like love just sailed away
A lonely heart has got me scared.
When will I know?
If you will stay or choose to go.
The thought alone I've always feared
When will you see?
You're mine and that's no mystery
To play this part I'm unprepared.
Dreaming all day, that your in my arms and here to stay
(Yes you are)
Shattered without you, these memories of love,
Won't fade away.
Like a scene that poorly written
I'm a pawn inside the game
Though checkmate seems unavoidable
I keep moving just the same
My heart is broken, though I've spoken
These same words a thousand times
My only comfort is in Jesus
Beyond the hurt and silly rhymes
How could it be?
Excuse me (How you feel)
I really want to know is this a new thing?
(So what's the deal)
That's all up in my soul
They say there's nothing
(we keep it real)
New under the sun
So tell me what is it
What is it What is it now
(What - what - what – what)
Can't stop (now) won't stop (uh, uh)
This love affair I'm in
(so what you sayin' Jay)
Can't lose ... Must use (that's right)
This gift he's blessed me with
(so can you feel this?)
Can you feel this vocal swing
(So put your music where your mouth is)
Yes, yes yall and youdon't stop
It could be Jazz R&B; Gospel Funk or Pop
(It goes on and on and on and on)
I like to taste my music naturally
(uh, huh, that's right)
My baby said sounds like a band to me
(we keep it thight)
Is it a dream inside reality
(Can't stop the love)
I'm addicted to the music (alright)
And I don't need no band to prove it
(Now feel the flow)
Excuse me (How you feel)
I really want to know is this a new thing?
(So what's the deal)
That's all up in my soul
They say there's nothing
(we keep it real)
New under the sun
So tell me what is it
What is it What is it now
(What - what - what – what)
The moods right (yea)
The grooves tight (that's right)
Do you know what this is
Is it Do-Wop (Hip Hop) Is it Be-Bop?
(Don't stop)
All I know is that it makes me move
(So put your music where your mouth is)
Yes, yes yall and you don't stop
It could be Jazz R&B; Gospel Funk or Pop
(It goes on and on and on and on)
I like to taste my music naturally
(uh, huh, that's right)
My baby said sounds like a band to me
(we keep it thight)
Is it a dream inside reality
(Can't stop the love)
I'm addicted to the music (alright)
And I don't need no band to prove it
(Now feel the flow)
What is it Was ist das
I want to know
What is it Was ist das
It sounds good yea But what is it
It sounds good yea But I want to know
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh
MMM ... The rhythm was empty till we started to flow
Except a snare and a hi hat built for an intro
Bam! If you can bring it
We can sing it(what you want)
If it's jazzy (then we'll swing it)
If it's classy (then we'll flip it)
From Bronx to Berlin
Where we from where we been (original)
The non-instrumental got you hooked like Saccharin
But it's sweeter like that
It's got you hype, it's got you jumpin'
Ya moving naturally
But can I ask you somethin'
Excuse me (How you feel)
I really want to know is this a new thing
(So what's the deal)
That's all up in my soul
They say there's nothing
(we keep it real)
New under the sun
So tell me what is it
What is it What is it now
(What - what - what – what)
Was ist das
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Permiso, un minutos por favor
Closer
We need to get a little closer
Need to connect with each other
Before we forget how to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
Better
It's gonna be a little better
We will be free if we surrender
And know what it means to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
Only when I open up my eyes to the truth
Can I see my own reflection mirrored in you
You look a little deeper and you will see
We were meant to be closer
Closer
We need to get a little closer
Need to connect with each other
Before we forget how to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
I'm down on my knees will you forgive me
I failed a million times
I treated you so bad
How can you still love me
You wiped my weeping eyes as I cry
I'm so unworthy to be by your side
And I will never forget this moment in time
I'll be needing you in my life
I'll never find another love
I'll never find another you
I'll never find another heart
As pure and true
I love you and everything about you
So lost in a world filled with temptation
I just cannot let go
The ocean surround me
I was sinking so quickly
Holding on I tried as I swallow my pride
I saw life flashing before my eyes
Right then I knew
It was just a matter of time
I'll be needing you in my life
I'll never find another love
I'll never find another love
I'll unbreak your heart
I'm sorry I disappoint you
I love you so much
I'm starting right here
I'm starting right now
Forever I will serve
You'll be honest and true
I'll never find another love
What I'm Looking 4 (Ain't No Mountain High Enough)
My mom always said 'whatever you do, do it with allyour strength'......mm...that's from the bible. She said a lot of things from the bible.
She also said 'if you set a goal, ain't no mountain high enough to stop you' that one ain't from the bible......THAT'S MOTOWN
No wind (no wind), No rain (no rain)
Or winter's cold.....Can stop me baby (oh babe)
Baby (baby)..if you're my goal.......oh!
It's about to go down ma
I'm about to do my thing
Make you real proud, make the whole world sing
But I'm a' do it right, the way you taught me
Can't sell my soul for gold
Cause God already bought me
You always said 'Good things will happen to those that wait'
So I waited on his grace, I can't wait to see your face
When we up there for that Grammy, I'm a' dedicate it to you
So sit back relax, and watch it all come true
If you can feel this feeling that I'm feeling
Like standing for the first time
Before that I was kneeling
Mom said it best 'you gotta talk to him'
Now I gotta do the rest, I gotta walk to him
He said.....'Ain't nobody gonna hold you down'
He said.....'I'm gonna give you all a brand new sound'
He said.....'Ain't nobody gonna break-a your stride
Alright, alright, alright
Chorus
So I know that I'll find what I'm looking 4
What I'm looking 4, that's what I'm looking 4
Ma, remember when we used to rehearse down in da basement
That was along time ago...yea! you've been patient
You played us 'Stop, Look, and Listen' by Marvin and Diana
We thought you had skillz with that chopsticks on piano
You always said 'whatever you do, make sure you do it well'
Well I'm doing it ma...........can ya tell?
I know you can cause I can see it in your smile
I've been looking at it since I was a child
Everytime I stumble, I keep moving
That keeps me humble, that's what that keeps on proving
Mom said it best, 'I gotta learn with time'
Now I gotta do the rest, I gotta earn what's mine.
Chorus
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na-no no no no
You can tell by the spirit (tell)
You can tell by the style (tell)
I'm like a river, (river) so I'm-a flow like the nile (that's right)
You can tell by the hunger (tell)
We've been waiting a while (waiting)
He said 'it won't be long now. Can you handle the miles?' (Just a few more miles to go)
Chorus
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
No!.....no!
I took a chance, I went without your love
But now I'm coming back, cause I had enough
Of being lonely, you're my only source of strength
It won't matter how much farther,
If it's you, I'll go the length....
Take me up to that higher place
I'm not worthy of
All your love and grace
Chorus
I just want you to be close to me
That's the way that it's suppose to be
I just need you to be close to me
Only you can play me close
Lord your love for me's the most
Took your love for granted
But that ain't me no more
I know that's for sure
I'll never let you....down that way again
It's a miracle you found me and your more than just a
friend...
Chorus
Let's get closer.......closer than that
Let's get closer (yea) closer than that
Let's get closer.......closer than that
Let's get closer and closer
Chorus
Take me up (take me up) take me up to that higher place
You know I'm not worthy, I cried out you heard me
Take me up, take me up, take me up,
(Just, just a little bit closer,)
(Got, got to get to know ya.)
(Upclose where I can hold ya)...close to me, close to
We sent a demo to the world, they said it sounds like
Take 6.
I said "hold on, wait a minute, I'll be back with the

It took us years to figure out, that we were dealing

Let It Rain
(Rain, rain - Rain, rain)
Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die. (x2)
So how can you forgive me
After all the things I've done.
How can you still talk with me
Like we've only just begun
I'm thinking bout' the days I let you down,
I could of made you smile, so many time I fooled around.
What kind of man am I
I ain't supposeto cry
Chorus
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain from me
(On and on and on)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, like it's suppose to be. (I wasn't right, I did you wrong)
Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain from my eyes. (Cause if it don't I'm gonna die)
Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, until this rain becomes a good cry (Good cry)
It is one thing to stumble,
It's another thing to fall.
I fall so much I wonder,
Why you deal with me at all.
I'm way behind but then you wait for me
I show my love for you sometimes, but it's not faithfully.
I'm so unworthy,
I'll be crying in my sleep, tossing turning in your deep....love.
Chorus
Red light, green light, 1,2,3.
F O R L I F E
I got you if you got me.

We’ll always be together you will see.

You and me were meant to be.
F O R L I F E
Chorus
No matter what you’re going through, I’ll be there with
you.
Looking out right by your side, for life, for life.
I’m never too far away, come rain or shine or in pain.
I’ll be there to give you what you need, for life, for
life.
Have faith, trust in me, you’ll never have to hurt no
more from now on you’ll see.
I got you, if you got me, there’ll never be a lonely
road, no.
When you move to the left, call me.
When you bounce to the right don’t forget me.
I’m right here with you, I’ll always come through.
When your tank is low, I’ll gas ya.
Got nowhere to go, I’ll get cha
I’ll see you through, I promise you.
Chorus
It’s clear, so simple to see, all you gotta do is 1, 2,
step and follow me.
To a place, where we can hide away, you’ll find love,
peace, and happiness.
For as long as you stay.
4 Life - continued
You’ll never be the same, it will change you.
I’ll wash away, all that pains you.
Let me take you there, to show you I care.
You can talk to me, I’ll hear you, tell me anything you
want to.
All your troubles bring, I got you through anything.
Chorus
You can call me whenever, life disappoints you and your
spirits are down.
I got cha, leave you? No never, I’ll always be there if
you want me around.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
And when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Saying 'I Love you' is not the words
I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say But if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
La la ri la la ri la ri la la la , more than words
la la ri la la ri la... uuuuuuuu uuuuuh...
Now I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is
Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
And touch me hold me close
Don't ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words
To show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
(Verse 1)
The ocean rises the waves now crash cross the seashore
As the wind blows
The earth, the moon, flowers bloom as the rain drops
And the trees grow
No mystery I can come to see I can feel your soul
Make you whole
With open arms I am here for you, I’m the air you
breathe
I’m everything
CHORUS
Say you love me
Tell me that you love me
Say that I’m the one that you come running to
To hold you through the rain
Say you love me
And there’s no one else above me
Open up your heart to me I’ll always be
All you’ll ever need
Say you love me
(Verse 2)
I’ll unlock the door to paradise just follow
If you want to
Take my hand and we’ll fly away let me show you
That I love you
The candles burn as your world is turning slowly
Listen closely
Be with me I am here for you forever
And ever
CHORUS
(Verse 3)
I know you’re out there
Chasing waterfalls (say you love me)
But you can rise above
And show me that you love
CHORUS
Say you love me, say you love me
I’m all you’ll ever need
Just say you love me
Say you love me, say you love me
I can hear you breathe
Just say you love me
Higher and higher
I'm building seek
Consumed by desire
It's killing me
Like a moth to the fire
I go willingly
With windows of fame but they can't keep it safe so
I built this wall, all around me
I built this wall, to surround me
I build this wall, from the ground see
These sticks and stones can't break these tones no...
Shout out..
Shout out...
Shout out all you want to
I suppose call me Mr., Please Acknowledge me
Self imposed i'm a prisoner, no apologies
Wrote a note to my listeners, don't you follow me
I'm probably strange but i know i can change cos
I don't wanna be alone anymore
There's a hole in my soul
Yet i'm happy at home no
I built this wall, all around me
I built this wall, to surround me
I build this wall, from the ground see
These sticks and stones can't break these tones no...
[Rap]
I built this wall, all around me
I built this wall, to surround me
I build this wall, from the ground see
These sticks and stones can't break these tones no...
Shout out..
Shout out...
Shout out all you want to
There is no place, nowhere around
There is no place, that can be found
Nowhere that I , would rather be
Than with true friends and family
Yes I may roam from shore to shore
Exciting places to explore
But when life's trials swirl around me
I seek true friends and family
Chorus
You lift me up and set me free
So I can be all, all that I can be
Up with the best of humanity
Found in true friends and family
Reunion times from year to year
Bring so much joy with those who care
Fine memories, my identity Are deep in friends and family
Sometimes I think of doing wrong
Then I remember who I am
What would they say, should I betray
All my true friends and family
Chorus
Close to the edge, I'm like a bomb ticking slowly
Just don't push me if you know what's good for you, I'm
not that holy.
I'm an island, I'm a rock
On an island made of rock
Concrete flowers, falling towers
To tell the time, who needs a watch?
Ain't that just like New York
Ain't that just like tv
There's nothin' like New York
Don't you believe what you see.
Prechorus
It's like a jungle (it's like a jungle )
It's like a jungle sometimes (It's like a jungle
sometimes)
It's like a jungle (it's like a jungle)
It's like a jungle sometimes. (It's like a jungle
sometimes)
Chorus
I got this love for New York, New York
But I don't think thay she knows
I said goodbye to New York, New york
But my heart won't let her go
I've seen a few things, I've seen fire, I've seen rain
What I haven't seen's much sunshine,
Through my window shades of grey
Baby's crying, Mommy's trying, her very best to make
ends meet
Daddy's spot is on the corner, made at least 3 G's last
week.
Prechorus
Chorus
Still waters run deep on the corners of Wall st.
Too many cooks in the kitchen
,No shepherds for the sheep.
Only Lawyers and Doctors, like gangsters and mobsters.
The ground ain't safe anymore, we need police
helicopters.
It's like a jungle sometimes, I gotta suit up in
camouflauge.....or blend with the Philistines,
And swing a sling on the boulavard.
Nikes, Converse, Pumas, Addidas
Everybody's moving fast, but they ain't running to
Jesus.
They want blood, watch the spillage
They wanna conquer and pillage.
Pillars of Salt, don't look back in the village.
Prechorus
(It's your time, so evil's left us behind,
It's a new day, it's just a day you were blind,
It's not a mystery, or a secret to keep,
Cause we won't sleep, won't sleep.)
[VERSE 1]
In a little while we're gonna be free
In a little while it'll be just you and me,
And we'll be far from here,
Leaving all our cares,
(Cause we won't sleep.)
[VERSE 2]
Wait a minute now, why can't I go on?
Wait a minute now, I don't think I'm that strong
Cause I'm living by myself,
I'm with somebody else
[CHORUS]
And you say,
Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again,
Learn to live so free.
And when we hear, the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in.
Take these broken wings.
(It's your time,
It's a new day,
It's not a mystery,
Cause we won't sleep.)
[VERSE 3]
In a little while I'll be moving on,
In a little while I'll be heading for the sun,
In his warm embrace,
(Feel that embrace)
When I leave this place.
(Cause we won't sleep)
[VERSE 4]
Wait a minute now, I forgot how to fly,
(Who even taught me how)
Wait a minute now I can reach the sky,
Can you help me climb,
Don't wanna be left behind.
[CHORUS]
[Repeat Verse 4]
[CHORUS (X3)]
*Echoing throughout Chorus*
(Take these broken wings,
And Learn to fly again so free,
Hear the voices sing,
Can I take a little time now, to tell you how I feel,
sorry I drifted away.
I know I’ve been a little distant, I guess I haven’t
been there for you, so much that I need to say.
You should know.>
I’m never gonna give up, I wouldn’t give in. I promised
you I’d love you through thick and thin.
And I just wanna stay in your arms.
Chorus
Whenever I fall, you lift me up and you say, there’s no
need to worry it will all be o.k.
Whenever I wonder off and I lose my way, you always
forgive me never turn me away.
This is true, and so I will be forever for you.
I know I’ve been a little selfish, I’ve been a little
cold and tired, sorry I pushed us apart.
I should’ve let your love hold me, I should’ve opened
up inside, instead of closing my heart.
Now I know.
And though I let you down you believed in me, you lead
me with your love and you made me see.
That I was meant to be in your arms.
Chorus
I’ve been caught up in my darker days and too blind to
see.
But you were always there to love me unconditionally.
I will never let you go, just hold on to me.
Let me love you faithfully through it all.
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see, but not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I ever hear is the sound of rain falling on the
ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do, they think they are new
I sit and watch as tears go by
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the deepest meanings
You need to give me proof
I need to know that I'm not dreaming
I see those silly things
I see the things that we go after
But I can feel the strings
I can feel the puppet master
Can't sleep, can't trust no one
Can't eat, unless I know where that's from
One eye wide, one eye shut
One eyes spies, who-where-what
Chorus
You gotta read between the lines
You gotta dig real deep sometimes
You gotta read the writing on the wall for signs
(Come on) Open your eyes
I wanna know the time
And I don't need no watch to do dat
I wanna know the rhyme
And the reason why you choose that
Detect the lies
And read above the average
Can ya feel their vibe
Can ya read their body language
Chorus
Send a message to Mary (really?)
Na! She can't hear me
Caught up in tradition, my conspiracy theory
This ain't somethin' outta' book
It's real life, it ain't fiction
But the plot is complicated, (like "The Wire")
Are you listening?
You owe dat, you know dat
But tell me who wrote dat?
Manufactured in a darkroom
Developed like Kodak
You gon' tell me like you mean it
But I ain't never seen it
You gon' hand me a script to read
But I'm a' read between it.
Chorus
They gotcha dancin' to the drum
It's time to breakaway and run
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You wrapped up, you tied up (whoa!)
Why you trying to think for me?
Just because you came before me
Why you criticize what I do?
Cause it ain’t like what you used to
Why do you do what you do?
Cause they did what they did?
Can you think out the box or just snap to the grid?
Are lookin' on the surface or under the lid?
Are you thinkin' or just following tradition?
Chorus
They gotch dancin' to the drum
(Caught in tradition)
Its time to breakaway and run
(Break from tradition)
When they tell ya jump ya jump
(You don't need permission)
You wrapped up, you tied up (whoa!)
Why as the time goes by?
You learn the "what" and the "how" but not "why"
Why you want me just to rely?
I check the proof, I know the truth it won't lie
Chorus
Everybody dancin' to the same drum
No individual identity, everybody thinking like one
That's negative, break from tradition, that's
imperative. Are you coming? are going? are you growing?
where's ya heritage?
Right where ya thought it was, hurts don't it, of
course it does
Violins play the truth, like that fiddler on the roof
Think like you or think it through
I'm a choose the latter way
They go left, I go right, they go Sunday, I go Saturday
Chorus
........Dancin'.......Breakin'........Jump-Jumpin' (x2)
(So we say)
If you know it's all tradition, why you knocking on
wood?
Halloween trick o treatin' can that evil be good?
(So we say)
Why when you pray to God you gotta close your eyes?
If you knew he was going to propose, why you acting
surprised?
(So we say)
Why you got on a roller coaster when you scared of
heights?
And if you did it before the wedding, why you modeling
white?
(So we say)
If the theory ain't scientific, why they teach it in
school?
Right now you bopping ya head, I know why, so do you
Chorus
........... "Tradition" ..........
"Tradition"..........(x2)
You wrapped up, you (tied up tangled up!)
My mom always said "whatever you do, do it with allyour
strength"...
Mm...that's from the bible. She said a lot of things
from the bible.
She also said "if you set a goal, ain't no mountain
high enough to stop you"
That one ain't from the bible......THAT'S MOTOWN
No wind (no wind), No rain (no rain)
Or winter's cold.....Can stop me baby (oh babe)
Baby (baby)..if you're my goal.......oh!
It's about to go down ma
I'm about to do my thing
Make you real proud, make the whole world sing
But I'm a' do it right, the way you taught me
Can't sell my soul for gold
Cause God already bought me
You always said "Good things will happen to those that
wait"
So I waited on his grace, I can't wait to see your face
When we up there for that Grammy, I'm a' dedicate it to
So sit back relax, and watch it all come true
If you can feel this feeling that I'm feeling
Like standing for the first time
Before that I was kneeling
Mom said it best "you gotta talk to him"
Now I gotta do the rest, I gotta walk to him
He said....."Ain't nobody gonna hold you down"
He said....."I'm gonna give you all a brand new sound"
He said....."Ain't nobody gonna break-a your stride
Alright, alright, alright
So I know that I'll find what I'm looking 4
What I'm looking 4, that's what I'm looking 4
Ma, remember when we used to rehearse down in da
basement
That was along time ago...yea! you've been patient
You played us "Stop, Look, and Listen" by Marvin and
Diana
We thought you had skillz with that chopsticks on piano
You always said "whatever you do, make sure you do it
well"
Well I'm doing it ma...........can ya tell?
I know you can cause I can see it in your smile
I've been looking at it since I was a child
Everytime I stumble, I keep moving
That keeps me humble, that's what that keeps on proving
Mom said it best, "I gotta learn with time"
Now I gotta do the rest, I gotta earn what's mine.
So I know that I'll find what I'm looking 4
What I'm looking 4, that's what I'm looking 4
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na-no no no no
You can tell by the spirit (tell)
You can tell by the style (tell)
I'm like a river, (river) so I'm-a flow like the nile
(that's right)
You can tell by the hunger (tell)
We've been waiting a while (waiting)
He said "it won't be long now. Can you handle the
miles?"
(Just a few more miles to go)
So I know that I'll find what I'm looking 4
What I'm looking 4, that's what I'm looking 4
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
See I'm here just like before
Wirh my body stretched across the floor
I can't believe I did it again
Did what you said but you turned on me
It's my fault I'm the blame
Cause I knew that to you it's a game
But you can't play me no more
I won't be no fool for you no more
I'll be no fool for you no more
So don't you come knocking at my door
I think that I've seen it all before
I'll be no fool for you no more
I can't believe that I'd ignore
All of the hurt you had in store
I know you lost everything
So don't try to share your guilt with me
It's your fault now you're through
And I'm not going down with you
I should of known from your past
That with you the good times don't last
Now that I let you go I won't be no fool
I'll be no fool for you no more
So don't you come knocking at my door
I think that I've seen it all before
I'll be no fool for you no more
I can't believe that I'd ignore
All of the hurt you had in store
What about the pain you caused
What about the time I lost
What about the price it cost
I'll be no fool for you no more
So don't you come knocking at my door
I think that I've seen it all before
I'll be no fool for you no more
I can't believe that I'd ignore
All of the hurt you had in store
Who's laughing now (laughing) hello
You won't be around next year or tomorrow
I'm done with all that drama so let me holla at cha
You came just like a charmer (you snake)

I'm seeing clearly now before you tried to blind me
I put your lies and all your alibis behind me
Don't waste your time to look
Cause you won't even find me
I'll be no fool for you no more
So don't you come knocking at my door
I think that I've seen it all before
I'll be no fool for you no more
I can't believe that I'd ignore
Now just the other day I know you heard me say I'll do
better on my own, so I'll just go my way
and that's alright with me, I'll be fine you see, not
even occasionally, I'll think of you and me

Your love for me is so strong
That's why
Chorus
I will never never ever love without you breath without
Can't imagine life without you glad that you will
always call me friend
Please please accept my apologies, but you already know
that I have acted foolishly
Don't know why you stay you probably should leave, but

There will never be another you for me
Don't want to search all my life for me its clear to

People, have always been singing
To wipe away tears, to ease all the pain (oh)
Music, has always been healing
Some people just sometimes, and others again and again
and again
So we hope that today you are ready, to understand
Whenever you're falling down
Hopeless and pushed around
Find your own melody
Trust me that music is the key
It makes you feel proud and strong
Helps you to carry on
If you are down on your knees
You should sing it with me
Music is the key
(sets you free, yes)
Stories, we've always been telling
Its part of our nature to speak with a friend
So we hope that today you are ready, to understand
Whenever you're falling down
Hopeless and pushed around
Find your own melody
Trust me that music is the key
It makes you feel proud and strong
Helps you to carry on
If you are down on your knees
You should sing it with me
Music is the key
It's the key to the heart of all people
It can open the door to your soul
It's the key to the world
where the flower of love always grows
don't you know
don't you know
Whenever you're falling down
Hopeless and pushed around
Find your own melody
Trust me that music is the key
Whenever you're losing faith
Just wanna leave the place
Come sing along with me
Trust me that music is the key
Just sing with me loud and strong
Help us to carry on
If you are down on your knees
You should sing it with me
Music is the key
Sets you free
(Rain, rain - Rain, rain)
Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die.
(x2)
So how can you forgive me
After all the things I've done.
How can you still talk with me
Like we've only just begun
I'm thinking bout' the days I let you down,
I could of made you smile, so many time I fooled
around.
What kind of man am I
I ain't supposeto cry
Chorus
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain from
(On and on and on)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, like it's
suppose to be. (I wasn't right, I did you wrong)
Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain from
my eyes. (Cause if it don't I'm gonna die)
Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, until this rain
becomes a good cry (Good cry)
It is one thing to stumble,
It's another thing to fall.
I fall so much I wonder,
Why you deal with me at all.
I'm way behind but then you wait for me
I show my love for you sometimes, but it's not
faithfully.
I'm so unworthy,
I'll be crying in my sleep, tossing turning in your
Chorus
I can't doo dat, I won't doo dat
I know what's on your mind and I ain't here for dat
I know you like the show, but now it's time to go
I can't doo dat, cause love don't act like dat
Let me tell you bout that girl last night
After the show she was waiting outside
You know my taste, pretty face, big hips, small waste
With the type of legs I like
She said to meet her in the hotel lobby
I said I got a wife at home, girl I’m sorry
She leaned over whispered in my ear
Your wife’s at home , I’m right here
Don't go there baby, that ain't fair
I think I told you like 10 times lady (ooh 10 times)
My baby's waiting at home
And she ain't willing to share
Chorus
Now I’m thinkin’
How can it hurt if my wife don’t know
And she can’t see what goes on behind a close door
And this girl lookin’ good how could I say no
That skirt so high that top so low
I’m a man understand so I’m tempted see
But tell me what kind of man would that make me
I’m not a saint and I know I’m not perfect
But I know the cost and the loss ain't worth it
Chorus
I ain't playin' (don't go there)
What I'm sayin' (don't go there)
I ain't playin' (don't go there)
What I'm sayin' (don't go there!)
She stalking me she's going crazy
But I'm not that surprised
A pretty face, but that don't phase me
Don't you look in those eyes
Mama said treat her like a lady
So you gotta say hi
I'm saying no, she's hearing "Maybe"...easy...Goodbye
Can’t front
Im staring, thinking ’bout her wearing nothin’
Except maybe her thong
And thought no ones gotta know and It’s only one night
And we don’t have to take long
But in the back of my head a little voice said to me
Like Joseph, be strong
I said yo I gotta go, thanks for coming to the show
But goodnight baby, so long
Chorus
Bridge and B verse (combo)
Chorus
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (x3)
My baby gets all my lovin'
That lady ain't sharing nothin' (x2)
They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
I never cared about two, your my bird, you got crushed
I know I shoulda' been there, but I was busy
Doing nothin', girlfriends were like ("where is he?")
Are you gonna listen to them, or are you gonna listen
to me
I hear ya talk about"you", why don't you talk about
"we"
All ya talk about ("You could of stayed some more", But
now you wanna work it out") Yea! Can we pray some more
Don't hurt me, desert me
Let's pray to God, work with me
It's easy, believe me
Just trust your heart, don't leave me
I don't know how you can say
That if it hurts this bad, just walk away
And now you say ya sorry and you're sad.......
Chorus
I take it harder than that...(you think I don't?)
This ain't a game to play like that..(I know I won't)
I gave my word (true) the witness heard (who?) that's
We said we'd never turn our backs...(we read the Book)
It told us love don't act like that...(so now I'm
shook..feel my pain)
E-yo-oh, (one more time) E-yo-oh-woh..I take it...
Harder than some, but better than most
I know I found me some comfort in the Holy Ghost
They say the family that prays together, stays together
So when that cloud get's too heavy, you can handle the
weather
And I'm not ashamed to tell the whole story
(I heard you crying) So many tears you know my vision
gets blury
No twenty, twenty no more, my pain is plenty for sure
And when it comes to my pride, I don't have any no more
Chorus
It hits like carbon monoxide, killing me softly
I didn't see it coming through, I couldn't help it if I
wanted to
For forty days and for forty nights, I was crying like
a baby, honey can save me
I felt you slip away, just like a grain of sand
I held you tight as I could, but you still slipped
through my hand
So now I'm calling you, will you return my call
(Why should I come back home?) Cause home is where you
belong
You don't know, (tell me if you know)
How I feel....(can ya tell me about it!)
Is this love?....(who do ya love)
Is this real......(it's only now that I doubt it)
Cause if it is, you ain't never been apart of it
We made a promise in a prayer from the start of it
And now you say ya sorry and you're sad......
Chorus
I take it harder...(than that* than that* than that)
Harder....(than that*than that*than that)
E-yo-oh, E-yo-oh-woh
I take it ...hard
I take it...hard
I saw you yeah you were waiting for your song
One you could dance to, lift your hand up to
But you've been waiting all night long
But we came with somethin'different
Spititual, but reminiscent

Follow me

Don't look back (don't you know)

Throw ya hands up in the air
But this time cause you care
Can i take you on a journey?
Verse 1
Tick, tick, tock- it's time for closure
I watch the hands on the clock, it's almost over?
I feel it's coming like it's winter cause it's colder
Fat-lady type singing, like it's over now
Knock, knock, knock......it's coming closer
I whispered to my baby don't cha worry cause I told -ja
Don't be cryin for me, I'm a soldier now.
I know who's knocking at the door that's Jehovah now
(What!)
B. Verse 1
I know your scared, I see your tears

Don't lose your faith, we'll meet one day

Chorus 1

(Oooh Can feel it)
Cause if ya feel it in the air tonight..
We gon' sleep (that's right)
But it won't be (all night)
Verse 2
(Oooooooh I remember)
That night....cause I was dreaming
I didn't understand, but now I know the meaning I know
that baby you'll be fine, you won't be weeping long
I see the signs of the times, I won't be sleeping long
So tell me can ya feel it, are you listening
Cause if ya feel it, like I feel it, don't be
drifting...
Thinking it's too late.(na)...judgement only God can
make.
Just wait! Rise you up like he baking cake. (What!)
B. Verse 2
I'm not afraid...My trust won't fade
Got to believe (got to believe)

Bridge

Don't ever worry we'll meet again
Chorus (x2)
Vamp
Walk in the room and yea! I'm that dude
I'm never rude, I'm never crude
Cause I got nothin' to prove.....(that's right)
My speech is tight, I ain't the silent type
When I talk it's straight New York
Plus I walk in the light........now ain't that.....
C-O-O-L....what that spell
Chorus
COOL....ain't no one cool like me (don't think you can
COOL....Ain't no one cool like we (we cool like family)
COOL....That's G-O-D in me (just understand me)
C-O-O-L.. what that spell...Cool!
You can't imagine the smooth that I'm movin'
I move a mountain, stop a river with this faith that
I'm using......now that's deep
Slide through the door....(wooh!) and I bring life to
the joint
When I dress, I must confess, that I'm always on
point....now that's the.....
Chorus
All night, all day (COOL)
We keep it cool, yo that's the only way (COOL)
All day, all night (alright)

Cause you rockin’ twenty-two inch shoes on that
Mercedes
And you thinkin’ you nice cause Jacob makin’ you icy
And you livin’ a life where you don’t care what the
price be
But that don’t make you cool I ain’t impressed with
what you got
See even Elmer Fudd got a mansion and a yacht
So understand, make it part of your plan
To be cool you find favor with God and man
And that’s cool and we’re cool from the stage to the
street
So cool that everywhere we go we have to bring the heat
Chorus
I'm upperlimit, I'm untouchable…
I got my swag going kid you know that I'm fly
Gibberish never ever coming from I
Rank #1 in the eyes of Jah
Crisp pair of jeans with the hat all fitted "what"
Butter soft leather with the tim's (let me lace it up)
Pre-eminent being showing love from up above, right?
Helps spit diamonds on this solid gold mic
My man Roger said "yo homie do what you like"
So I did what I liked, so I did what I liked
N7 said "yo Jay do what you like"
So I did what I do
Now help me spell out cool......
Chorus
(I'm so smooth)
(Keep it cool)
(I'm so smooth)
C-O-O-L what that spell....Cool
One set of footprints in the sand
And you wonder where I am.
Cause it was hard for you to see
That the man you saw was me.
Cause if you fall I'll catch you
Cross my heart
You wonder why I have to
That's my part
Chorus
Don't worry you're not alone
Ain't that what I told ya
I promise, when cold just gets colder
If you should fall.. pick you up
That just makes us closer and closer
I'll comfort you so don't you worry
I saw you wounded, down in pain
And I heard you call my name
But what you didn't know for sure
Is that I knew you would before.
Cause when you fell, I caught you
You fall so much
You didn't know? I thought yo
u Knew my touch
Chorus
(With descant) Rest on my shoulder
And I'll hold ya
I do what I have to do when it comes to you
I'll be anywhere you want, just say you want me
to.......
Chorus
Ooh Don't you worry I am always here
If you ever need me, I'll be there.
I'll take you in my arms and hold ya
I'll carry your weight on my back if I have to
I'll carry your weight on my back if I have to,
Yes I will.....
Chorus
I'll carry your weight on my back if I have to....
I took a chance, I went without your love
But now I'm coming back, cause I had enough
Of being lonely, you're my only source of strength
It won't matter how much farther,
If it's you, I'll go the length....
Take me up to that higher place
I'm not worthy of
All your love and grace
Chorus
I just want you to be close to me
That's the way that it's suppose to be
I just need you to be close to me
Only you can play me close
Lord your love for me's the most
Took your love for granted
But that ain't me no more
I know that's for sure
I'll never let you....down that way again
It's a miracle you found me and your more than just a
friend...
Chorus
Let's get closer.......closer than that
Let's get closer (yea) closer than that
Let's get closer.......closer than that
Let's get closer and closer
Chorus
Take me up (take me up) take me up to that higher place
You know I'm not worthy, I cried out you heard me
Take me up, take me up, take me up,
(Just, just a little bit closer,)
(Got, got to get to know ya.)
(Upclose where I can hold ya)...close to me, close to
Oooh Weee! Oooh Weee!
Chorus
Can ya......Can ya feel it? (I can feel it).....
Parum pum pum
Can ya......Can ya feel it? (I can feel it)
Feel this drum
That's the sound of the man workin' on dat rhydum'
And we ain't gonna stop until yal workin' wid 'em
No time for standing for poses
Got to be movin' like Moses
And when that Funk comes together
You'll be holding ya noses
(Hands up) we da band, but we ain't plugging it up
(Stand up) if you can stand, you can't be sitting to
rock
(Back up) back up if you not willing to ride,
Cause we going on a tour, (alright) where we going?
Fat, Fat Boys, way back , that's from the eighties
Fresh like Dougie, inspiration...we were babies
Get up on the stage, we go vocal, they go crazy
We got somethin' for the fellows,
This ain't only for the ladies.........
Chorus
You wanna ticket to the show cause ya heard that it's
vocal,
Where you at on the map? It don't matter we go local.
The label wanted commercial, so we had a rehersal
Dial ####### and get the infomercial
(Hold up) wait a minute, you mean that's all with your
mouth
(Roll up) and we gon' bring it from the north to the
south
(Own up) you ain't never rode like this before
Ain't no sleepin' on this tour, (for sure)
Where we going?
Chorus
Oldschool!!
The oldschool connects the whole groove, "that's
cool"......
The "that's Cool" connects the hi hats, next rule.
The hi hat connects you to the snare, here's one
The snare drum connects you to the big kick drum.
You know the kick drum connects you to the heavy bass
note,
And then the bass note connects the 808, all throat.
The 808 completes the bottom and the melody seals it,
And now we all come together and we ask "Can ya feel
it?"
Chorus
With the final concoction, standing still ain't an
options
Now we bouncing like a family, yea legal adoption.
Yal ain't moving yet, that I can't except
How many sounds we gotta imitate to getcha' respect.
(Don't stop) we in the flow, can't cha' see that we
movin'
(Hip hop) that's the style of the music we using.
(First drop), last drop, you best get all you can get
Yal getting tired on this tour?........(Not yet)
Where we going?
"He's Biz Markie" yo make the music with ya mouth
(Nobody, Nobody beats the Biz)
"That's incedible"...20 years later...still edible

Don't worry be happy, we gonna do dis just like Bobby
