I can pay my own light bill baby
Pump my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you yeah
Sometimes so hard to say oh
I need you
Some things remain
I could buy my own groceries baby
Get my hair tight, my nails right
I can floss my own bling bling
Write the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man
We need you
So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change
I could be congresswoman
Or a garbage woman or
Police officer, or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl
God what you've done to me
Kind of lover I could be
I could be a computer analyst, the Queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss
And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
We need you
We need you
We need you
And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
I need you
I do, I do, I do, I do
And even though I can do all these things
I need you
We need you
We do
We need you yeah
It's so hard for me to say this
I'm struggling to find the right words
What I've felt is past tense
What I feel you just haven't heard
So, I think it's better that I tell you now
I think it's better that I tell you now
He's so sweet and good, good
I'm not afraid to be your lady
I'm not afraid to be your whore
I'm not afraid to be your future
I'm not afraid to be your soil
In which you plant your seed
Flowers, they sprout for me
My fragrance in the breeze
You must nurture me please
I'm not afraid to be your baby
I'm not afraid to be your strength
I'm not afraid to be open wide
I'm not afraid to be glutinous
The essence of glue
I will stick to you
Through earthquakes and moods
If ever one thing was true
I'm not afraid to wind it, wind it
I'm not afraid to keep your pace
I'm not afraid to create my queendom
I'm not afraid to take my place
Alright Man,It's Time For You To Move. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
No hay nadie mas que yo, uno es el numero magico
En vida y en muerte, uno es todo...comprende
If I multiply 2 times 2 is it really, really 4 me (La 6X)
And if I add 5 to get 9 minus 8 that just leaves me (Me 8X)
So many times I define my pride through somebody else's eyes (La da da, la da)
Then I looked inside and found my own stride, I found the lasting love for me
If I'm searching for my spirituality passionately I must begin with me
There's just me...One is the magic number 2X
If I add myself unto myself multiplied times you and yours and you again
There's just me
And if I divide 8 billion, 48 trillion, 98 zillion
There is... there is just me
If I subtract one plus me to the 5th degree, use any theorem
There's just me
There's just me...One is the magic number 2X
Me, me, me, me...
(Ad lib until end)
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me [4x]
Met him on a thursday,sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown,deep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives (Word?)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
Talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations,blue colors,memories of shell topped adidas
He was fresh,like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm,no jacket,no umbrella,just warm
At night we would watch the stars
And he would pyhsically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper,red,hot,spicy
I felt Dizzy, Sonya, heaven, and Miles between my thighs
Better than love,we made delicious
He me had,had me he
He had me tongue tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip
And he was my love
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open,wide,loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me non-clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was falling
And I couldn't see the season changing
And the vibe slipping off it's axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds,84 degrees,melody
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me [2x]
[Mos Def]
I stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass
The sun beat in between my shoulders like carnival drums
I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow
So then I would really be fly
And then she arrived
Like day break inside a railway tunnel
Like the new moon,like a diamond in the mines
Like high noon to a drunkard,sudden
She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature
Her skinny canvas for ultarviolet brushstrokes
She was the sun's painting
She was a deep cognac color
Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city
She lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet
And full for her mouth to hold
I said,"You are beautiful,distress of mathematics."
I said,"For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit."
And give you lightning and thunder as dowry
I would make the sky shed all of its stars like rain
I would clasp the constellations around your waist
And I would make the heavens your cape
And they would be please to cover you
They would be pleased to cover you
Everybody wants the hero
who just wants the man?
who fights with his devils
and does the best he can
everybody wants a playa

Sometimes s**t is bad... (don't)
Look,
Don't feel no pity for me
Cause I'm going through a couple things,
Life means change,
That's the way it goes,goes
All my life I had a constant burning
A strong deep,desire
An aching ambiguous,yearning,yearning,
yearning
For something better
For something bigger
For something wider
For something higher
And lots of regrets
Cause I ain't seem to found it yet
I've been searching around the world
Never knowing what to expect
I get sad sometimes
Yes I be mad sometimes
Cause I'm out here on the grind
Making mine
And I still can't seem to find
What I've been looking for
Opened so many doors
For real,yo
I just wanna be loved...
I just wanna be loved
Like everybody else does
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can't believe you're touching me like the way you're touching me
I can feel pass your skin right to your energy
Feeling like the moon is under the sheets with a smile
We're glowing so bright and baby I just don't know how
[Chorus]
So this is making love
I can't believe it
Oh oh oh
So this is making love
I just couldn't see it
Can't believe the way your lips, your lips are kissing mine
I can feel your heartbeat, beating at the same time
This is crazy magic, über fantastic chemistry
We're floating so high I swear that we are soaring
[Repeat chorus]
How did stars get inside the room?
What is this music we're making?
It's the most perfect tune ever heard, no words could ever describe it
[Repeat Chorus]
Beyond pleasure
No scale no score could measure
What do I do
If its Hip Hop if its bebop reggaeton of the
metronome
In your car in your dorm nice and warm
whatever form
If Classical Country Mood Rhythm &
Blues Gospel
Whatever it is,Let It Be Let It Be Whatever it is
Whatever it is Let It
If it's deeper soul If It's Rock & Roll Spiritual
Factual Beautiful Political Somethin to Roll To
Let It Be,Whatever it is,Whatever it is Let It Be
Let It Be Whatever it is Let It Be Let It Be,Let It
Why do do do I,I,I,I
Feel trapped inside a box when just don't fit
into it
Maybe I've been scared knowing what's
there,In front of me maybe I been tryin to be
what they needed me to be
When I should of just been me
Why,Why Why Why Why Why
Whatever it is,Let It Be Let It Be Whatever it is
Whatever it is

[Mos Def]
There was this daddy long leg spider
Who spun his lyrics between the trees
And she was the fly girl who didn't see the web
And this is the story
[Jill and Mos]
Love(love rain)rain(a rain down)down
(Said what you say i say love)love(love rain)rain
(A rain down)down(I said what you say I say love)love
(a love rain)rain(a rain down)down(I say what you say)
(Brand new and live from Jill Scott)
(Making the ghetto feel hot and say what you say)
(let'em know)
[Jill]
Met him on a Thursday sunny afternoon cumulus clouds
84 degrees he was brown
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives...Word!
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest
easy, talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations, blue colors and memories of the shell
tops
Aww yeah yeah he was fresh
Like summer peaches sweet on my mind like block
parties
and penny candy oh oh
Chorus
[Jill]
The rain was falling slowly and sweetly
And stinging my eyes and I could not see that
He became my voodoo priest and I his faithful
concubine
Oh oh oh oh (Mos chanting in African dialect)
Wide open wide the mistake was made
(Don't front, you know I got you open)
Love slipped from my lips, dripped down my chin
And landed in his lap and us became brand new
And the sky was blue
Chorus
[Mos]
It was half past dusk, you were rocking black musk
When your chariot stop low I made the clock wind slow
Grabbed my hips, curled a kiss across my lips
Like a whisper (damn)
Blue Train title track playing on the system
Listen 'la da di da da'
It's John C you hum the melody in pitch and on key
You was my quiet storm water sign
Pushed me to the borderline
Love that rumbled all the time
Kept my senses on the grind, sweeter than some foreign
wine
The original raw
Branded sweet like a cinnamon straw
You was my hardest distraction
My bombest distraction, my deepest inspiration
My heat, my frustration
But you diff from before you wasn't rifting before
'I want that old thing back' baby gimme some more
When clouds huddle in the sky
And tears well in your eye just...
[Jill and Mos]
(Hold on to the moment love)
yes, you broke me but I'm human
(Even now that it's over love)
(Remember how it was over love, how deep we was
overcome)Mending myself, love concealing
(Just remember the moment love, you ? then blow me up)
The pain(just hold on to the moment love)love rain
(Remember how we was over love?) love rain
(Remember how we was overcome?) love rain
Repeat Jill Scotts verse
[Mos]
Just hold on to the moment love
I'ma do what I got to do
At night I still get hot for you
With this ? that I got for you
Just remember the moment love
Remember how we was over love
Shouldn't that just be enough
Shouldn't that just be enough
[Jill]
Yes, you broke me down
[Mos]
You got to rock with that
You got to rock with that
Jill Scott non stop with that
Said you got to rock with that
Make your shoulders neck back rock with that
Said you got to rock with that
Get up and do the diddly bop with that
Said you got to rock with that
Let it get up in your shoulders and bop with that
Said you got to rock with that
Get up in your necks and bounce with that

The Thickness
By: Jill Scott
Whoa!
She a big chick
Big o legs
Big o thighs
Big o hips
Big o ass
Big o tits
She so big!
Won’t nobody even try to reach her mind
Age 14
Eyes green
Young tender, supple, and fine
All those oohs and ahhs slip as she lick her lips
Oh, they want to fuck her
The want to rub their dicks on her precious clitoris
They want to watch those big o tits settle and part a bit
They want to talk about it
Tell it
Spread it
Relive the conquest
How they beat on that ass and how the knock that shit
Don’t stop
Won’t stop
To recognize that there’s more
More underneath that thickness
That sweet and round brown young tender thickness
Now they like her quite eager
Sweet and meager
Shhhhh!
Don’t you complain about my other women
Just drop that big thick ass on my stiffness
Make me nut all upon your gut with the quickness
Don’t stop
Won’t stop
Lift it
Yea girl lift it
Lift it baby
Drop it again
Cause I aint your tribesmen no more
I aint your friend
Come on girl just let me in
Let me into all that thickness
That sweet and round brown supple bigness
Cause she so big won’t nobody even try to reach her mind
She’s been degraded, exploited, not celebrated
Saturated with self hatred
Let me say that again please:
She’s been degraded, exploited, not celebrated
Saturated with self hatred
Cause every time she turns on the TV
What does she see, big o booty
And it don’t have nothing to do with the song
Thus her definition of beauty
Thus her definition of beauty
Oh, oh, oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Let her
Let her recognize the magnificence you created
Lift her
Lift her
Lift her
Let her be elevated
Let her be elevated
Lord, Lord
Let her be elevated
Let her be elevated
Cause she is so big
She so big
She so big
She so big
She so big
She so big
She so big
She so big
Let her be elevated
Let her be elevated
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

i see your true colors, (i'm not gonna make it up man)
thats why i love you
(yo) its hard to forget, we all trynna survive and we live
i'd rather feed the homeless and take time to talk to their kids
show them life aint a walk on the bridge, damn as hard as it is
when i be dreaming i be talking to big
in my hood there aint no yellow brick road,
you hear that shot, echo
sneakers hanging from a telephone pole
in my ghetto there aint no rainbow or pots of gold
but there was love from the family when times are cold
i stayed and analysed the world from a project youth
i seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth
a good kipper kept it burning in this bubble goose
a motherless child lost in these streets loose
in the world of more these are rainy days
my man got popped at an early age
his college funds saved flipping through his early grave
they said the good the young were headed for them pearly gates
i see your true colors, shining through (straight up man)
i see your true (i can see through you man) colors,
thats why i love you
(i know you really aint like that) i see your true colors,
shining through [shining through]
i see your true colors, thats why i love you
yo, they say this love wasn't meant to be
two people from two different worlds, we wasn't meant to be
it musta been fate you were sent to me
we'll make it through these hard times eventually
we stand and fight, we'll walk by faith but not by sight
we're all the same color when you turn out the lights
i take the sunshine with the pain
grab my serin car said thats when it rains
you know friends kept the food on the window pane
we all breathe the same air so we all the same
i'm trapped in this ghetto maze trynna make it out
if you don't know me don't judge me - what you talkin 'bout
i bought the bottom bull the car of the broken dreams
single mother's you're my heroes you're my queens, to get
my mums out the hood that's my hope and dreams
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means
i see your true colors, shining through
i see your true colors, thats why i love you
i see your true colors, shining through
i see your true colors, thats why i love you
(repeat)
let your love, let your life, i see your true colour
let your life, let your love, let your light shine bright
i see your true colour
let your life, let your love, let your light shine bright
bright bright, bright...

Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Soul singer on the avenue hummin? her little tune
Wishin? one day to be everything she dreams
Her goals so far so unattainable, she thinks but I say
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Home boy on the avenue wants love but doesn't have a clue
That there?s no clue to it, just love, just love
Open up your heart and grab it, believe that you can have it
Take it, it?s yours, it?s yours
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
Oh, I know sometimes that it gets hard
Running up that road, surviving, beating the odds
But you don't have to worry, no fear, no doubt
Hold on to the dream, believe, believe, believe, believe
Beautiful dreamer
Live for the dream, follow the dream, beautiful dreamer
You’re here, I’m pleased
I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, Have mercy on me
I was blind, now I can see
What a kings suppost to be
Baby I feel Free
Come on and go with me
(chorus) Let’s take a long walk
around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, educations, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18.
Your background it ain’t squeaky clean shit
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You Aint no saint we are all a sinners
But you put your good foot down to make your soul a winner
I respect that, man your so phat
And your all that, plus supreme
Then your humble baby, and i love ya feel it, I can feel everything that you bring
(chorus) Let’s take a long walk
around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, educations, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Revalation 3:17.
Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday
Or maybe we can roll a tree, feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the roots or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues-or maybe we could just be silent
come on, come on
(Chorus)Let’s take a long walk
around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, educations, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about (?) entirety.
Let’s take a long walk
around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, educations, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about (?) entirety.
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the roots or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues-or maybe we could just be silent
come on, come on
(Chorus)Let’s take a long walk
around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, educations, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can save the nation.

Yeah, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo, yo
Yo, a touch of jazz y'all, yeah, yeah
?? y'all, yo they got us on the run, like
[Jill Scott]
8 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (I, don't, know)
Can't go left (uh-uh) can't go right (uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon c'mon)
7 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)
Common]
It was once said by Black Thought that Things Fall Apart+
Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start
But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin
Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
Friend or no friend, my man caught wind
This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him
Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago
Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo
I ain't here to start on this [nigga] for me to wreck his broad
you could tell what I thought of this [nigga]
Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes
(or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his persona
you could see, he think he tough!
If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son
This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh
[Jill Scott]
6 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I, don't, know)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got..)
5 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)
[Common]
I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of town-skippin
Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
I'm hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nike's
His position is, "Aight man, somebody bonin my lady"
Probably snap like Rod-man
My plan was to meet at this bar called the Tiki (when?)
'round four, when she was comin she would beep me
I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now
Wonderin if my style would support her and her child
Out the corner of my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)
One of Smoke's guys, to stay out of sight I tried
Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" [shit] like Deborah Cox
Looked at my watch, [shit] I don't even got a watch
Felt for my glock, damnit I don't even got a glock, yo
[Jill Scott]
4 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon)
3 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)
[Common]
Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's cookin
It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin
Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him
But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine
was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time
My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me
from Halsted," I'm thinkin this is monkey bar [shit]
Went to the phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy
Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy
Wondered if this plan was designed to get me
I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long
Like 40 goin North I'm doin 50, headed for the spot
Askin God to be with me, and lately
she has been actin shifty -- (but what?)
But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)
It hit me (hit me) it hit me
[Jill Scott]
2 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (Yo -- I said I, don't, know)
Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (nope)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got)
1 minute to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (one-one, one.. ha?)
1 minute.. (we got, we got) one, one
1 minute.. (ahh shit, we got) one, one

and we out..)

Too much on my...
La la la la la la la la la
Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain
But I know I should get up and get out of it
I gotta keep moving
But here I am lost all up inside my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing.
Can't stop. Can't let go.
But when I wake up,
And one day I will do it,
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
Maybe I, right now, can't see the forest for the trees
So lost behind hurt
But I'm trying everyday exponentially
To move forward
Do you know how it feels to be lost?
But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
And I will wake up
It's gonna be beautiful
Down to my left side (Last cry)
Feeling like I could fly
(Feeling like I could fly)
All day, up high.
Sweeter than the sugar on a cinnamon treat
Or an ice cream
That was me
But I'm feeling like I'm in a nightmare
Fear of loving somebody, everywhere
Oh Lord, I need this confirmation, this affirmation
That when I wake up
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up...
Watching me [7 times]
Watching me [7 times]
(yawn)
First thing when I wake up
and right before I close my eyes at night
I think,
sense,
Feel man like
I'm under some kind of microscope
satellites over my head
transmitters in my dollars
hawking, watching, scoping, jocking
scrutinizing me
checking to see what im doing
where i be
who i see
how and where and with whom I make my money
What is this??
Excuse me miss
May i have your phone number and your social security ?
Who me?
When all i came to do is buy my double or triple A batteries
Please
I DECLINE!!!
Watching me [7 times]
Watching me [7 times]
Look here at this watch of mine
Gotta open it up
Don't know who's been in it
Tracking where I go
Finding out all my business
Security
Video cameras locked on me
In every dressing room
On every floor
In every store
Damn can i get that democracy
Equality and privacy
You busy watching me, watching me
That your blind baby
You neglect to see
The drugs coming into my community
Weapons coming into my community
Dirty cops in my community
And you keep saying that im free
[3 times]
Busy watching me
Watching Me [7 times]
Watching Me [7 times]
I ain't got no bars to this cage
If I'm gonna stay here
I'm gonna build me a lead house
Keep them satellites out
Direct TV
Am I watchin' it or is it watchin' me?
Man I don't really know
but I feel like
I feel like I'm being scoped y'all
Watch y'all
Somethin' ain't right [2 times]
[CHORUS]
And you keep sayin' that I'm free [6 times]
And you keep sayin' that I'm free [6 times]
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my... La la la la la la la la la
Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain
But I know I should get up and get out of it
I gotta keep moving
But here i am lost all up inside my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing.
Can’t stop. Can’t let go.
But when I wake up,
and one day I will do it,
I have let you go
and everything I went through was beautiful
I have let you go
and everything I went through was beautiful
Maybe I, right now, can’t see the forest full of trees
So lost behind hurt
But I’m trying everyday exponentially
To move forward
Do you know how it feels to be lost?
But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up

About another time, some other time.
How bout you call next week, we'll get something to eat. We'll just hang
And chill, just to keep the thrill.
About another time some other time...
Talking: Oh my God I really had a good time tonight. It was fun.
I had stars in my eyes. Oh my God he was (phly) witty and sweet, relaxed
And comfortable. Mmm.
Conversation was nice and easy, steady moving... smart. There was a kind of
Dignitary vibe like a original hip hop melody break dance soul train. He
Was kinda don Cornelius to me (cooler than a fan x2) but it's only been two
Weeks.
About another time some other time.
He can be a snake in the grass deceptively hiding waiting to spill his
Venom on my ass.
He could be cold blooded with another woman behind another door another
Couple of kids three or four...
He could be lying about his money ain't got nothing to show.
He could be be alotta things, alotta things he could be alotta things.
Woke up this morning with a smile on my face
Jumped out of bed, took a shower, dressed, cleaned up my place
Made me some breakfast, toast, 2 scrambled eggs, grits
Grabbed my keys, grabbed my purse, grabbed my jacket
Off to work, beaming all the way down 3rd
Is it the way you love me baby?
Is it the way you love me baby?
(Yeah)
Four thirty, can't wait to get home
Nah, girl I got somethang else to do
(Damn Jill, don't be frontin' on your girls for real)
Go 'head, really get your groove on
Cause tonight my man's coming through
(Oh word)
We gonna have to connect some other time
As much as I like to shake my thang on the dance floor
I got another nasty, freaky just right way in mind
Tonight I'm gonna beat the high score
Is it the way you love me baby?
(Yeah)
Is it the way you love me baby?
(Baby)
Is it the way you love me baby?
(Is it, is it the way)
You gotta do right by me,its mandatory baby
Sweeter than your favorite ice cream be,
bask in my glory baby
Don't play no games,that'll ruin thangs
And make me leave ya,or mistreat ya and you
don't want that
Don't hesitate,I could make you great
Like Cleopatra Jones I could set you straight
[Chorus:]
I'm the real thing,in stereo
I got a little highs,I got a little lows
Follow this,melodic flow
I could make it shine,I could make it glow
[Repeat x2]
I'm more than a toy for your satisfaction
I'm a pay-per-view on your TV screen,
your main attraction
Your phosphorus,I'm your energy
When your lost,and you need some focus
come see me
I'll entice ya mind,I do it all the time
In the mornin',in the evenin',
when the doves cry
I can feed you gut,put you in a tub
When I turn it up,yeah brotha you know
what's up
A little bubbles and a body rub,
turn off the water (drip drip)
Don't think about dessert,I got enough
And a whole lot more to ggiivveee!
[Chorus x4]
Glow Glow Glow...
When I turn it up,yeah brotha you know
what's up
[Repeat x3]

I'm glad this week is over,

Go home and throw my clothes on,

Can't wait to see you looking lovely,

And only nothing more!

First ting in the morning
When I open my eyes and see you
Hey, hey, I feel like a breath of fresh air
I feel like I can fly,
That I can get by.
So in love with you,
So in love with you,
I'll do anything for you!
Any obstacle that come my way,
So in love with you,
So in love with you!

Anytime is all right,
If you want me
You're so good to me!
Anytime is all right,
You want me baby, I'm bad!
Feeling the way I do
It's hard to keep focus
One minute staring at the moon
Next into your eyes
And it's no surprise
Ooo that my knees weaken
At the lovely words you're speaking
La la la la
It takes more than diamonds to woo me
La la lala
It takes more than money to groove me
Feeling the way I do
It's hard to keep focus
One minute starin at the moon
Next into your eyes
It's no surprise
That my knees get weaken
From the lovely words you're speaking
Lalalala
It takes more tan diamonds to woo me
Lalalala
It takes more than money to move me
Lalalala
It takes more than ooo material things
Lalala
It takes more than diamond to move me
Lalalala
It takes more than money to groove
Lalalala
It takes more than cars to get me where I need to go
When I write the rightness,tightness
It just flows and flows
Pull it from my left side,right brain
Grab it from my neck,my toes
I feel the music sink into me
Go through me,move me,move me
It's a pleasure to be live and thinkin'
It's a pleasure to be in this zone
I just let it go
Don't stop this feeling
Chop this feeling
I just let it go
Don't stop this feeling
Chop,chop,no
When I sing the rightness,tightness
It just goes and goes
Pull it from my people's legacy
Way down in my soul
I let the spirit move right to me
Come through me,move me,whoa
it's a
pleasue to be
It's a pleasure to be vocalizing
It's a pleasure to sing this song
Music is my life
Takes away the strife
Of day to day sorrow and pain
Music is my life
Takes away the strife
You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow
And oh
How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you
Lie to me repeatedly
And oh
How do I have faith, in you
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could
Oh, say can you see
You say that I'm wrong for
Stating my opinion to you
You say that I'm wrong and there'll be quiet consequences too
But I know my rights babe
There'll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances
And I want to trust you
I want to love yeah
But you lie to me repeatedly
And oh I want to have faith in you
But you just don't come thru
Like you said you could
Oh say can you see
Hmmm
I want fresh fruit, clean water,
Air that I don't see
I want the feeling of being safe on my streets
I want my children to be smarter than me
I want, I want to feel
I want to feel, I want to feel free
For real ya'll
I'm just telling you so you know
I want to, I want to have faith in you
I really do but you keep lying to me
It hurts
I believe, I believe you owe it me
Give it to me like you said you would
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Oohh say can you see
Hmmm
Honey molasses, ebony majesty
Chocolate brown shuga, sweet epiphany
I waited for your call but you chooz not to call me
I wonder what happened
Were you inside a safe space and too I wondered
Were you thinking about me and if you were
Why was I feeling so lonely
By the phone, alone to the bone
Although the night before you were in my home my body my dome
In a circle of passion we Paris Italy Japan Africa Rome
We made music, we trombone
It was magic the way it happened
Pure electricity
I felt so excited and afraid at the same time
I don 't know whether to sing or to rhyme
Call me
Honey molasses, ebony majesty
Yo,I'm tripping right,
I heard you got married.
You got married?
No I mean,make any
It don't really make any sense
I mean,It's not like I,I didn't think you were
seeing other people or whatever,Imean
I was seeing other people but
You know what this is,
You know what it was,you tsch
I can't say I really understand though
You chose her cause she's sweet as pie
Take what you give,even your life
But baby,are happy without me?
She scrubs your back,washes your clothes
Gives you everything that ask for
But don't you ever want more?
Cause my love
My love is deeper
Tighter
Sweeter
Higher
Flyy-er
Didn't you know this,
Or didn't you notice?
(My love,my love)
My love is deeper
Tighter
Sweeter
Higher
Flyy-er
Didn't you know this,
Or didn't you notice?
Mmmm,what we had don't need no words
Deeper than anything you ever heard
I ain't reaching baby,
I know I should be your lady
You say you're happy
You say you're great
But you know and I know you really ain't
You need to come be with me
That's the way it's supposed to be
Cause ohh,
All I ever do is think about you baby
I hold you in my arms inside my dreams
And I know what I know and what I know is
That no matter where you go
Come on (repeat 2)
Babe
The only thang I think about at night is that yo ain't here
So many ideas
But truly I ain't sure
I don't know
That's how you got me boo
Late nights

Missin your touch
Missin your love
Missin your spell
I'm missin you
Missin your kiss
Missin your arms
Missin your soul
Well
It seems like all I do
I'm stuck on
The way you would hold my hand
When we would cross the street
Your eyes would maintain attention
Oh the smell on your breath
On my skin
I'm in
I'm In
And I'm missin you
I am missin you
Seems like all I know
I am missin you
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
Sister girl, I know you don't understand
But you're goin' have to understand, he's my man now
What you had is gone, I think it's sweet
I think it's stronger than any lie you can tell on me
He knows my heart and that's the part
Your roots are dug up so you might as well give up
I see your intentions, you can't handle the truth
He let you go a long time ago now it's time to turn him loose
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
Suga honey girl, fly, fly away

You betta back down before you get smacked down, you betta chill
You betta go on get out my face girl, you betta chill

You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
Everything was beautiful between me and him
And here come you with your big mouth, talkin' about me
Tellin' him that you seen me up 24th street
With them other cats but you know that's a lie
You keep lying to my man, girlfriend

You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
(You betta back down before you get smacked down, you betta chill)
You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'

You're gettin' in the way of what I'm feelin'
(You betta back down before you get smacked down, you betta chill)
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown, deep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives. (Word?)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
Talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell-topped Adidas
He was fresh, like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm
At night we would watch the stars
And he would physically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy
I felt dizzy and so near heaven and miles between my thighs
Better than love, we made delicious
He me had, had me he
He had me tongue tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip
And he was my love
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
The rain was fallin' and, and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me non-clarivoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was falling
And I couldn't see the season changing
And the vibe slipping off it's axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
I stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass
The sun beat between my shoulders like carnival drums
I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow
So then I could really be fly
And then she arrived
Like day break inside a railway tunnel
Like the new moon, like a diamond in the mines
Like high noon to a drunkard, sudden
She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature
Her skinny canvas for ultraviolet brushstrokes
She was the sun's painting
She was a deep cognac color
Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city
She lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet
And full for her mouth to hold
I said, "You are the beautiful, distress of mathematics."
I said, "For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit
And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry
I would make the sky shed all of it's stars like rain
And I would clasp the constellations across your waist
And I would make the heavens your cape
And they would be pleased to cover you
They would be pleased to cover you
Y'll ready to settle down and, and get with this?
You know settle into this feeling?
'Cause you know it's a lot of love here
Love, love, love
Give her love y'll, give her love Jill Scott
Love, love, love, love
I got to write about it
What's up everybody?
I'd glad to see you all here tonight
It's nice to get this love
I need it
Love
I love to write poetry, I love to sing
I love to write poetry, I love to read my poetry
But basically what I live for is, uhm?
(Love, love)
(Inspiration)
It comes from listening to Hip-Hop
(Inspiration)
It comes from R&B;
(Inspiration)
It comes from listening to Jazz
(Inspiration)
It comes from Jill, you hear me?
(Love)
Give her love ya'll, give her love Jill Scott
Give her love ya'll, give her love Jill Scott
J I L L S C O T T
Thank you
First flash, I'm blushing
Like the way that he's touching
Wanna stay, should I go?
Not clear
He's handsome, sexy
Wanna bite him and bite him
Minus talking, can't hear
Do I really wanna do this love soul bounce again?
I wanna be sure
Do I really wanna do this love soul bounce with him?
Is there a cure?
'Cause I gotta man
I'll be connected, unaffected
No question
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
Go slow
Slow down
Take your time
Nice
My emotions got my flying
To a new height
'Cause he's sweet
And so deep
He's the kind that I like
Wanna have him
Wanna school him
Wanna be schooled all night, but
Do I really wanna do this love soul bounce again?
I wanna be sure
Do I really wanna do this love soul bounce with him?
Is there a cure?
Cause I gotta man
I'll be affected, unconnected
No question
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
Let me breath
The question
Do we go after what we want
Or what we need?
When our mind says,
Maybe this ain't the thing
Free, free, free
Free like a willow tree
Free like a summer's eve
Free like the waves are crashing
On the side on a solitary beach
Free like a bumblebee
Free like the open sea
Free like the minute, second, moment
When you hold me closely
Free like a flying dove
Free like the moon above
Free like the four letters
That spell out L O V E, love
Free like the bluest sky
Free like wings up high
Free like, free like, free like, free like
Free the brown in my eye
Free like the tears that I cry
Free like, free like, free like, free like
Free like a willow tree
Free like the summers heat
Free like the waves are crashing
Let's try this
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me, ooh
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, oh, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, oh, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me, ooh
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, oh, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me, yeah
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet, oh, wait a minute
Fatback Taffy, sho' is good to me
Fatback Taffy, knocks me off my feet
Tell me how you'd feel
If I was,If I was go'n,
Tell me how you'd feel?
Tell me how you'd feel
If I was,If I was go'n,
Tell me how you'd feel?
What if I was go'n forever?
No more chocolate kisses,
No nappy dugout ever,
No mamma,no daughter,no sister,no
No sister friends
Tell me my brother,
What would become of you then?
What if,poof,every black female in the world
disappeared?
Your man-child left unattended
Lost without no one behind the steering wheel
Tell me,hmm mmm,
C'mon,how would that make you feel
C'mon,c'mon,help a sister say
Your beautiful brown would be forever go'n
With no more cocoa wombs to carry your
brown on
You right there,would be the last of your kind
Can you feel this song? How does that
affect your mind?
Cause if there was no me,there'd be no you
Ooo can you feel me,is this song coming
through
What if,poof,every
black female
in the world
disappeared?
That's the science in it,
but it's so much more intense
Reach into your soul for the answer
Reach wherever you need to,to find it
Say you be tripping,
Say you pimping it,
Talking 'bout how you "Da Man"
What you are is something different
By-product of when "Massa"ruled your life
Spreading babies everywhere
Couldn't think,couldn't care
But you can now
You can,you can
C'mon and man up
Damn it,Tell me how you'd feel?
[Verse 1:]
Here I am again asking questions,
Waiting to be moved.
I am so unsure of my perception,
What I thought I knew I don't seem to
Where is the turn so I can get back to what I believe in?
Back to the old me and
[Chorus:]
God, please hear my call. I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw I need your healing
I need Your healing.
[Verse 2:]
I've been such a fool
How did I get here?
Played by all the rules
Then they changed
I am but a child to your vision
Standing in the cold and the rain
Lost here in the dark
I can't see.
Gotta take a stand, what is happening?
Oh, this hurts so bad. I can hardly breathe. I just want to leave so
[Chorus x2]
God, please hear my call. I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw I need your healing
I need Your healing.
If you want it in the mornin'
Just call my name
If you want it in the evenin', baby
Just do the same
Let me
(Sock it you, sock it to you)
(Sock it to ya, sock it to ya)
The way a woman can
Let me

Lord, have mercy on me, I was blind, now I can see
What a king's supposed to be, baby I feel free, come on and go with me
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark, conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 3118
Your background it ain't squeaky clean shit
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You ain't no saint, we all are sinners
But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner
I respect that, man you're so phat
And you're all that, plus supreme
Then you're humble man I'm numb
Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark, conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about revelations 3118
Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday
(Saturday)
Or maybe we can roll a tree
And feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots
Or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on, come on, let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark, conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about something entire day
Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday
Or maybe we can roll a tree
And feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots
Or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark, conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe baby, maybe we can save the nation
Come on, come on
[Doug E. Fresh:]
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Doug E Fresh and I'm with my girl Jill
Scott
And we about to take it from the bottom to the top, aight?
Sing
[Jill Scott:]
Never wanted to see things my way
Tell me why were you such a fool
Always thought the grass was greener on the other side
Never miss your water till your well run dry
And now I'm sad and so confused
'Cause I'm all cried out, oh yeah yeah
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you you you you you
No more tears for you no baby it's all over
I'm moving on now I'm taking over
No more tears for you no more baby
'Cause I'm not your lady
You made that perfectly clear to me too
Ooo so I'm gonna move to the next phase
Getting back into my space
Moving in right in the right direction
And oh oh
I hope you know
One day baby
That I I I I I I I'm not sad and so confused
'Cause I'm all cried out oh yeah yeah
Over you
Over you
Over you
Clearly I am not a fat ass
I am active brain
And lip smacking peach deep
Sometimes too aggressive in it's honesty
And heart sweet
That loves wholly and completely
Whom it may choose
Whom ever it may choose
I am not gonna lie and pacify
I am arms to hold
I am lips to speak
I am a motherfucking "G"
Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
Or out of a money green Phantom comfortably
Knees that bend to pray
Clean from Ajax washings
Hair that is thick and soft
Thighs that betwixt
An amazing all expense grand prize
I am eyes that sing
Smile that brightens
Touch that rings
And supplies euphoric release
I am a Grand Dame Queen Beast
I am warm
I am peace
From the roads of Botswana from 23rd Street
From the inside third eye
Ever watching this wicked wicked system of things
I do see
I am friend to pen
And a lover of strong women
A diamond to men
I am curious and interested like children
I welcome the wise to teach
Appreciator of my culture
Thick not just from bone dense and eat
I have a rhythm in my ways
And a practice in my seek
And yes, I do crave the rhythm of my space
With a man that rejoices in God's Grace
With faith I do hear to listen
Two hands that fist
When forced pushes to shove
And your ego won't submit
I am gifted
I am all of this
And indeed the shit
Sweet Justice, climb the mountain
Though your hands maybe weary
Swim the ocean
Though your legs maybe tired
Run the extra mile
Though your stride maybe worn-down
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Never surrender
Sweet Justice
Sweet Justice
Many sides to the same face
Searching, wanting their hour
So many colors in the spectrum of life
With right lies the power
Struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle
Struggle only makes a man stronger
If he believes within his heart then he can find it
He will find it
Sweet Justice
Sweet Justice
Freedom the epitome of life
Lay your down your burden soldier
Study, study war no more, no more
Trust the soul that thrives within you
Hold strong to your faith
Continue, continue, continue on, on
Sweet Justice
Sweet, Sweet Justice
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Justice

Motivated by the light, sight and the dynamite
Bring about it all the time, so it's comin' naturally
Got a couple master teachers say I reach, I reached the half of me
So I be workin' on me happily 'coz there's a mission
And the planet is positioned hopin' and prayin' and wishin'
Wishin', wishin', wishin', wishin', wishin'
Take a long walk, sip some lemonade
Take your clothes off, relax in the shade
Mmmm hmmm,
Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me,
listen to me
Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me,listen...
I've been talking to this man
He's been saying what I like and
He makes me smile,
When I'm down,so down
He says sweet things in my ear
All the things that I needed to hear
But that's as far as it's gone
I promise,I promise
But I enjoy it,I love it so
Cause it seems like I'm always alone
You're at arms reach
But baby,
Where are you?
Where are you?
Cause I got this fire
Sweet and true
But I'm cold as ice around you
Cause I'm lonely
Whenever you're around
Cause I'm lonely
Whenever you're around
Whoa,whoa,whoa
What happened to the wonderful thing
we had
It seems like you're missing in action
And I'm tired,I'm tired
I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired
I don't wanna lose this good life
But I ain't scared
If I'm going to be the only one participating
You pulled some tricks out your sleeve last night
Everything I fantasize about
You had me climbing up a wall
How many ways was God called
You represented in the fashion of the truly gifted
You put it down last night
Knocked me out then had me dreaming bout waking up, alright
Do you want some money baby?
How about some chicken wings?
Do you want some fish and grits?
I'll hurry and go get it
Whatever
We made a groove last night
A poignant rocking forth and back alright
Anything I can do for you?
Just ask sometimes you wont have to
I'll be happy just to make you happy
And that's true
We made powerful
Love last night
Never knew passion could taste so sweet alright
I made a vow to you
Everything I do for you is a joy and a gift
[VERSE 1:] I'm your kitty cat Love what we do I adore the taste of every

If you want it to happen baybay
Hold fast and believe
You can make it happen baybay
You can be where u pleaze
All you gotta do is try
Then try once again
Then try a few more times
Then try after then
When I was a little girl
Raised on N. Philly streets
I'd hear my people say
Ghetto'z all they'd be
But my mommy would hold me
Quietly give me peace
She'd look me in my eyes and she'd say to me
As a teenager I dreamed to see the world
But how could I do this me a poor black girl
And just when my will was lost
And all hope seemed set free
I'd remember my mama's face and her tellin' me
Try try try
Try try try
Try try try
Try and try again
Now as a grown woman I still stumble and fall
But wit a lot of faith and the same amount of effort
I can withstand it all
I dun see some thangs now and been a few places
I'm now enjoyin' the beautiful world and the many new faces
I say?
Here you go jacket down
Timbs off
Remote control
And there you go
Off into outer space
Distant from me
Where do you go
Your eyes are closed
I'd like to know
I stop
Sit next to you because you seem so blue and pray nothings wrong
Baby I don't want to see us burn down and go up in smoke
No, no, no, no, no
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
But when I push
Begins the riff
You take off and there I sit
Alone feeling cold
I become antagonist loud and wrong
Words are thrown
I bitch you moan
So I try another tactic
Ohh, ohhhh, oh
Close your eyes
Relax your mind
Cool down
Just recline
We've got the time
To let it go
Just unwind
I'll...cool baby
I'll be quiet
If you like
I'll put on your favorite song
Sounds nice
Thug passion on ice?
Or a glass of Merlot?
I'll roll it up
If you want
I won't front
I just need to know
What you know
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me baby
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me
Dee da da Be bim bim Bum bum bum di di bum didi dow...(continues scatting)
Baby I'm getting so frustrated
Aggravated
Because it seems that you're hiding something from me
And that ain't the way I swing
I'm loving you
But I get confused
And what makes me fear
When your personality is unclear
I make things up in my mind
You're right next to me
But sometimes I feel like you walk away
And you just don't have a thing to say
But I fear for you
So tell me what cha

Verse 1:
Don't want this thing, but can't let go
Even though, I need it so
Your arms they soothe me
But I ain't no game, I ain't no toy, I ain't just brain.
This ain't no movie mane...
I'm a real woman
Been down this road before
I just need more
Chorus:
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.
I need to... listen, listen... (2x)
Emotions deep down inside of me
I'm trying to hide, but they keep finding me
I want to lay low, but continuously you do
Unh, unh, unh
All the right things (damn)
So sweet to me
(Eh, eh, eh)
What do I do?
(Oh...)

You got that ocean of soul
Baby you super thick
And I'm the man of steel with skills
Call me Super Dick
I got that technique that keeps you cummin back to back
And I know you feel it all in your stomach whenever you arch your back
I'm a pull yo hair; I know you love that
When I maneuver this tongue, your eyes roll back
I work them side angles; I'm a Kama Sutra pro
Kitchen table down to the flo
Ass in the air while you biting that pillow
Girl you know how I chop and screw
That's what a diamond chip dick do
That's what a diamond chip dick do (singing)
Oh my mind says, and my body says something different
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.

I walk away from

thought it was good
thought it was real
thought it was

Where i should go

I walk away from

undeserving
constantly hurting me love
deserting me love

Slowly surely
I walk away from
confusing love
misusing love
abusing love

undeserving
constantly hurting me love

I walk away from
I walk away from
Slowly surely
I walk away from love
slowlyy, surely one step at a time
but surely
I will pass the old love aside
and love me
slowly,
surely I walk away from

caught up in the maze love
crazy crazy craze of love

If I asked you to trust me on all things,
Could you do it?
If I needed you to map your position,
Would you try it?
Your constantly talking about how much you love me, want me, need me, you told me stop talking.
No more conversation necessary.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
If I needed you to replenish my faith in brothers,
Could you do it?
If I needed you to be, cool with my strength,
Could you do it?
Your constantly talking about how much you love me, want me, need me, you told me stop talking.
No more conversation necessary.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
Your word is love but you push me away, and won't say why.
You show me your exterior, I need to see your interior, I need to be absolutely clear wit cha, if we are to ever stand a chance.
It's the last dance, don't you see, show me the warrior you're born to be.
Warrior keep fightin, I know you're there.

Maybe you don't recognize what you got between ya thighs

His name was Rasool
Carmel completed boy from the 22
Rough on the outside
But on the inside he was cool
Rasool was a king
But also a fool
Back on the block again with the same crew
Tariq from the west side
Little John form the avenue
Always seen um bout a quarter to two
Shaking hands with everybody
But at the same time sharing the blues
And oh how he passed it on
Shaking hands till what was in his pockets was gone
He'd be outside in the cold with his bubble goose on
But inside
I knew he wasn't warm
Around 10:30 on that dreary night
His bowaz said they were hungry they were hungry
Wanted to get a bite
But they didn't send a runner
Rasool knew it wasn't right
But he stayed anyway to get the chain he liked
And oh how the shots rang in the streets
Hitting everybody in the surrounding vicinity
Children of the children
One young father to be
And Rasool lay dead in my north Philly Street
At fifteen years old
It was the first death I'd seen
But the game ain't designed for no kind of winning
And oh this is a friend of Rasool
Telling you to think about what you do and who you call your crew
The very choices you make
May make a Rasool out of you
When you left me, couldn't believe it
I thought that we had magic
I thought that we were special
But it's over
Believe it, I can't fathom
This terrible reaction to checking my phone
Damn you're madder than a madhatter
Quick, can't believe it's over
Quick, can't you come over
Shit, I miss you darling
I'm a one man lover
I'm not a Casanova
I can't believe it's over
So quick
I, I called you, you didn't call me
I wanted you
You didn't return my messages
How could you be so... thick
Had a lot of women on you
Didn't like the fact that I wanted to own you
That's what you said to me
Said that "I wanted to lock you down" but
You moved into my house
Gave me a son (mmh hmm mmh)
It was so quick the way that it happened
Quick, the way that you left me
Quick, can't believe it's over
Can't believe it's over now
I loved you, I really loved you
Can't believe that it's over
Can't believe that we could ever split
I feel it in my stomach
I can't seem to move on
I'm sick from the knots that's happening
Medicines just ain't helpin'
I can't seem to get well...
Over, can't believe it's over
Over, can't believe it's over
Over, can't believe it's over
So quick
(Over) Can't believe it's over
(Over) Can't believe it's over
(Over) Can't believe it's over
Ain't go'n be no eyes
To make me turn away
Ain't go'n be no kiss
To make me contemplate
Walking out the door
And never coming back no more
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Ain't go'n be no cologne
To make me say goodbye
Ain't go'n be no words
To make me change my mind
Throw away all I know
For something physical
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Only U
Only U
Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door
and never come back no muh muh muh, more
Only U
C-c-c come,come
Ain't go'n be no style
To make me change my smile
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Ain't go'n be no stroll
To make me lose control
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Of my sanity
Oh no,it won't be me.
Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door
And never come back no muh muh
muh,more
Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door
And never come back no muh muh
No hay nadie mas que yo,
Uno es el numero magico
En vida y en muerte,
Uno es todo
Comprende
If I multiply 2 times 2 is it really, really 4 me
And if I add 5 to get 9 minus 8 that just leaves me
So many times I define my pride
Through somebody else's eyes (La da da, la da)
Then I looked inside and found my own stride,
I found the lasting love for me
If I'm searching for my spirituality
Passionately I must begin with me
There's just me...
One is the magic number
If I add myself unto myself multiplied times
You and yours and you again
There's just me
And if I divide 8 billion, 48 trillion, 98 zillion
There is, there is just me
If I subtract one plus me to the 5th degree,
Use any theorem
There's just me
There's just me...
One is the magic number
I gotta admit sometimes I feel week for loving you the way I do
It's beyond me
I can't control it or force it to be, you know, what I want it to be
I think about you so much when I'm with you and when I'm not
It's deep, the way, just looking in your eyes just changes my whole perspective
Nothing is more beautiful than loving you, holding you being next to you
Kissing your lips taking my time with you
Nothing is more beautiful than loving you Holding you being next to you
Moving my hips
Moving in time with you
Put of all the things in the world, god gave us to each other
It's amazing
You are the king I always imagined
When we first met
I was surprised to get
That feelin'
That feelin'
The kind that don't wash away with soap
So sweet to me
The kind of feelin' I need
To get me through my darkest days
For you I prayed
What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe
Like the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Like the rain fallin' from the sky
Like the trees growin' from the ground
I'm astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touchin' me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo
Even now, I still feel that feelin'
Although we've grown
We're still on the same side
Of the proverbial road
Heading in the same direction
I'm so glad to know
With you I spend my time
What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe
Like the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Like the rain fallin' from the sky
Like the trees growin' from the ground
I'm astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touchin' me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo
What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe
Like the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Like the rain fallin' from the sky
Like the trees growin' from the ground
I'm astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touchin' me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo
What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe
Like the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Like the rain fallin' from the sky
Like the trees growin' from the ground
I'm astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touchin' me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo
What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe
Like the sun in the morning
The moon at night
Like the rain fallin' from the sky
Like the trees growin' from the ground
I'm astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touchin' me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo
Uhhh uhh
When I wake up in the morning love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without wanting love
Bears heavy on my mind
When I look at you and the world looks alright
When you just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to fade, to fade
When someone else instead of me
They always seem to know the way
That I look at you and the world all right with me
Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
It's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
A lovely day baby (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
Uhh, lovely name, uhh baby when I walk down the street
When I walk down the street baby you got me feelin' on...

Everybody that I see
Girl you look... and that's alright... baby you got me, you got me

Me,. you can't hear me, I, I got to make this next move. I gotta do what a

Adlib
Closer,
Closer,
Come closer to me,
I need you to get closer
It is 4 a.m.
I'm waiting in our bed alone,
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
On your way by
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy
It is 5 a.m.
And I'm waiting by the phone again
This is not how it's 'sposed to be
You're 'sposed to be here with me
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't even think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When I know you should be right here
It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I am miserable and feeling blue
Cause all I really want is you
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy
It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
At work,no one will feel my pain
It's a shame the way this whole thing changed
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When you know that you should be right here
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
No,no,no,no
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
This is crazy
Brrring...
Time to wake up,
And put on my strong face
It's hard not to listen, it's so nice.
(Verse 1)
If I called you, could you call back,
So I can tell you, that I miss you,
Wanna talk to you, wanna be there,
Wanna hold you, I wanna listen,
No maybes, I'm crazy,
To let a love like you go baby,
I don't know, what it's all about,
But I'm trying to figure out how to tell you,
(Chorus)
I love you,
I wish that you could see it too,
I love you (love you baby),
Come on, let me get through,
I love you,
Ain't no frontin' or hiding,
I love you (love you baby),
Come on, let me show you,
(Verse 2)
Don't wanna, shake the tree(?),
Don't wanna, hang with me,
You don't call me on the regular,
I mean when we talk, it's all short and shit(?),
And it normally be about the weather,
Don't wanna talk about the weather, I wanna get to know you,
Be where you are, suga let me show you,
I was sucka because I messed it up,
I was a sucka baby,
(Chorus)
But I love you,
I wish that you could see it too,
I love you (love you baby),
Come on let me get through,
I love you,
Ain't no frontin',
Come on, let me get through,
(Bridge)
See I think about you baby all the time,
And I wanna get down, I just wanna get down,
To the real thing, where we say what we mean,
And we talk to each other through our eyes in between and,
I mean it, baby come back to me,
If I could I would make you so happy,
And it would make me happy too,
Because baby I,
(Chorus)
Baby I love you,
I hope that you can see it too,
I love you (love you baby),
I love your breath when you sleep, it's so soft and so sweet,
I love you baby I do,
When you put your hand on me girl I'm like Wooo, I really love you,
Come on let me show you,
I love you,
I love the way you walk,
I love the way you talk,
I love the way you sit,
I love the way you think,

You're a superstar,
Some of them wanna break you down, steal your crown
Use and abuse you.
Some of them smile in your face, cause they heard it some place,
You got more then their used to

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yea yea yeah

If I could give you the world on a silver platter
Would it even matter? You'd still be mad at me
If I could find in all this a dozen roses
Which I would give to you, you'd still be miserable
In reality I'm gon' be who I be and I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may, break me down when I say
That it ain't up to you, gonna do what you do
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me
Ooh, if I gave you peaches outta my own garden
And I made you a peach pie, would you slap me out?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that or ask why not the moon?
If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity
Handed all the solutions for the pain and pollution
No matter where I live, despite the things I give
You'll always be this way, so go 'head and
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me
You cannot hate on me 'cause my mind is free
Feel my destiny, so shall it be
You cannot hate on me 'cause my mind is free
Feel my destiny, so shall it be
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me
We at the family reunion, tellin' jokes and playin' spades
Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill
Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made
For the new baby on her way
Even though the daddy ain't really ready
This child is coming...anyway, yeah
Neicey made her famous potatoe salad, somehow it turns out green
Maybe its all the scalyums, could be the celery
But oh, Uncle Jerome loves it (Hmm)
Hey baby baby, here comes my favorite...my favorite cousin
He says he doing fine, takin'it one step a day but in my heart I know it ain't that way
Whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family
And whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family
Aunt Juicy been drinkin' again...ooh its only 1:30 in the afternoon
Everybody tip-toeing 'round her, we all know she gonna be toe up soon
Saying all the things we like to say, hope she gets around to Cousin Lonnie
Cause We all know he got a little extra somebody on the side (But)
Oh shit, Damn Micky and Steven are fighten again
Move out the way, somebody might get hurt
Aw Look at that what happen is worst
They knocked over HElenora's Lemon Cake (Emm)
You know the one she barely ever makes
I'm gettin rilled up, I want them to go
But Somebody turn Frankly Beverly on the stereo
Cousin Ruby starts rockin', shaker her good hip and bottom
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Mmm, this morning my man exclusively introduced me
To some good extra lovin'
He was lickin' and suckin' on everything
Just the way he should
This morning's extra lovin' was good
We laid there sweaty, sex funky, happy as we want to be
Lovin' exclusively, my man and me
All nigh,t all morning
So our stomachs were growlin' hungrily
So I jumped up and rushed to the store
In hopes of coming back and getting a little more of
This morning's good extra lovin '
At the market the people were pushing and shoving
Trying to be the next in line, the turn was mine
The new girl at the counter was cute, not as fine as me
Was this some kind of women's intuition, some kind of insecurity
Nah, cause my man is happy at home lovin' me exclusively
So I shook my head, "What's up?"
"Hello," she smiled as she rung me up
Orange juice $3.29, Croissants $4.85
She sniffed, Butter 89
She sniffed, Strawberries $1.50 a pint
She sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed again
And then replied, "Raheem, right?"
Watching,
Watching as he took the holder off his shoulder
Fire in his eyes,hands getting bolder
Quiet,quiet
Growing excited
Dug him for his bank account,but really for
his private
Damn about a mindset
Really wasn't into that
Needed me some pleasing,jon looking real fat
Laidback was his foreplay
All that was needed,needed was some of that
Started simple
Massaging on my temple
Pinching on my mountain peaks
That a sisters into
I responded,"Mmmmm."
You like the sound,I like makin'it more
I fell for the rock and shore
Enough,he brought it close so I could really see
Up close he slid between my breast
Sweaty with lust and sweat
Rode Mt.Saint Scott 'til ooooo
Creamy lava landed on my skin and neck
Blended with my all day Chanel scent
This freaking was incredulent,decadent
Flip side,stomach meets sheets
He plows inside as if he's making beats
As if this year's harvest depended on it
Bendin'on it
Back on my back old fashioned is renewed
Red toenail polish on whitewalls
Documenting this freaking,ahhhhh
I must...
Remember...
To thank him...
Later.
No,no,no,
No,no,no
I take charge of ship
Moving with my back and my hips
Like my ancestors did
Speaking the Bantu,Ranga and tonga??
But I've gotta stop all that to make it longer,
But it's too late
I put him to sleep
Curled all up,spasm all in his feet
Feeling all proud like I did something deep
Aint really nothin'it's the way that it be
North Philly sister repin'hard like me
I like that I can talk with you
And you seem to adore it
I like that I can tell you
Exactly how I feel
I like that you don't look at me
That confused kind of way when
The thoughts are running through my mind
And I can't seem to find the right thing to say
Ooh, this feels nice
Our easy conversation
Ooh, this feels so tight
Our easy conversation
Ooh, this feels nice
I really, I really like when you speak to me
Ooh, this feels so tight
You never front, you always tell me straight up
Look at how our love life shine, shine, shine
This friendship is so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
We don't have to say a word, beautiful
If we don't want to
Ooh, this feels nice
Our easy conversation
Ooh, this feels so tight
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's easy, it's easy
Ooh, this feels so nice
Our easy conversation
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh honey

Don't you
(Don't you remember me?)
Oh baby, baby

You named me, claimed me

When you got your first pair of sneaks
(Oh the are phat!)

I remember you swore you were so big and bad
You walked around like your mmm didn't stink

But I was there always been there

It was so beautiful
(Magical, wonderful)
I remember loving you
So good, so good, so good

I was just thinking about you
Wondering if you wear the same cologne
Smelled good
On you
Had the next boyfriend of mine try the same kind
But it stunk on him though.
You know what they say everything ain't for everybody.
But I tried anyway.
You sure did smell good.
You just running gross my mind
You had that masculine thing DOWN
Shoulders, back straight never sloping never round
It would turn me on just to see you walk into a room, across the room, out of the room.
You really impressed me.
Eh yeah
You just running cross my mind
I know if I pick up this phone, write this letter send this two way.
I know I'm gonna say some things, I know you gonna say some things
That we both don't mean to say
Like...how amazing...how amazing...
When you would spread my limbs cross continents
And bababed way over mountains.
Kiss this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and that.
Show each other where the climax is at.
You just running cross my mind
I was just thinking about you, wondering what you doing I mean what you've been up to
I know its wrong feeling this strong let me take a second minute I will think this thing through
I was just thinking about you, wondering what you doing I mean what you've been up to
I know its wrong feeling this strong let me take a second minute I will think this thing through
Remember all the moments for two, how we used to

It's a midsummer night hour and I'm thinkin
about cha babe,wanting you
I wish you could catch a jet plane,I know you
would,if only you could
The finances ain't what we'd like,and

Cuz it's raining over here on the inside of my womb...
... passion and desire baby...
... innumerable fires honey?...

Come see me...

I played you dirty boy, did some things I shouldn't do
While you were only trying to treat me food
I was playing... damn

I'm truly sorry boy
Believe me I had my turn
The next time love came along yeah it was me who burned.
Sad and desperate I cried wondering why ask God why
He would do this to me so damn easy
Well karmas real and now I really do understand
What you give is what you get, universal plan
Paid my price and looked at my life
And finally I'm loving somebody righteously
What goes around comes around really do
Really does come back around
And I'm sorry for what I didn't to you
You didn't deserve what I gave you but I gave it to you
I hope your okay
I hope your loving
