A lot can happen on the corner.
Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978), better known by his stage name Dwele is a soul singer, songwriter and record producer from Detroit, Michigan.
Gardner was raised on the west side of Detroit in a musical family. He played piano from the age of six, later taking up trumpet, bass and guitar. He was deeply affected by the fatal shooting of his father outside his home when he was age ten, later stating "I learned to put my emotions into music; it was my therapy." He cites Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village. Gardner recorded a demo in his bedroom, called, The Rize, and sold it out of the trunk of his car. He had about 100 copies, which sold out within a week. He caught the ears of local heroes Slum Village and more specifically their world-renowned producer J Dilla.Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement. Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, who released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop. In a 2005 review in The Independent, his style was summed up: "Dwele's rooted in vintage soul but isn't stuck in the past, overly reverential or an exercise in pastiche - there's a major hip-hop edge which betrays his original incarnation as a rapper." A second album, Some Kinda..., followed in 2005. He then later signed with RT Music Group and KOCH records in March, 2008 He released his fourth album titled, W.ants W.orld W.omen on June 29, 2010. Dwele was featured on the first single off of Kanye West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The song was entitled "Power" and was leaked on May 28, 2010.
Raheem DeVaughn (born May 5, 1975) is an American singer and songwriter. His debut album, The Love Experience (2005), reached No. 46 on the Billboard 200 album chart. It featured the singles "Guess Who Loves You More" and "You". His second album Love Behind the Melody was released in January 2008. It features the singles "Woman", and "Customer".
DeVaughn was nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 2008 Grammy Awards for the single "Woman".
DeVaughn was born in Newark, New Jersey on May 5, 1975, the son of jazz cellist Abdul Wadud. He was raised in Maryland (Montgomery and Prince George's counties) by his mother, Imani Smith, a now retired federal worker. He is a cousin of singer Chrisette Michele. His mother states that her son first expressed an affinity towards music in preschool, recalling how whenever the class had musical events, he would conduct them. DeVaughn's love for music solidified during his early teens, when he began to envision his career path. One of his favorite artists was Babyface, and Smith recalls that her son once begged her to visit the Waxie Maxie's record store in the District to buy a promotional picture of the singer. DeVaughn visited his father during the summer, mainly in New Jersey. With his father, DeVaughn attended gigs and experienced his first taste of the life of a working musician.
Robert Glasper (born April 5, 1978 in Houston, Texas) is an American jazz pianist and record producer.
Glasper’s earliest musical influence was his mother, Kim Yvette Glasper, who sang jazz and blues professionally. She would bring him with her to club dates rather than leave her son with babysitters. She also performed in church where the young Glasper began playing piano, and performed during services at three separate churches: Baptist, Catholic and Seventh-day Adventist. Glasper has said that he first developed his sound in church, where he learned his own way to hear harmony, and was inspired to mix church and gospel harmonies with jazz harmonies.
Glasper attended Elkins High School in Houston, TX and the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and went on to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City. At the New School, Glasper met neo-soul singer Bilal Oliver. They began performing and recording together, which led to associations with a variety of hip-hop and R&B artists parallel to Glasper’s emerging jazz career. He has worked with Bilal and Mos Def as musical director, Q-Tip (The Renaissance), Kanye West (Late Registration), Meshell Ndegeocello (The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams), J Dilla, Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Common, Slum Village and Maxwell, with whom he toured extensively on 2009’s BLACKsummers'night tour.

"Weekend Love"
Last night somebody told me that you would be in town
I opened up my eyes and you were staring me down
I often think about the last times we spent together
Ummm hmmmmm
And sometimes
When no one was around and its just me
You serve a special parted memory
[x2:]
It's our dream to see
(oh baby)
You here with me
(I miss you)
After all this time
You're still fine
(Girl let's chill)
For the Weekend
(For the Weekend babe, I'd like to chill for the weekend)
This morning
I awake to find you next to me
Holding a long convesation over a green tea baby
we speak about the love before
Night before
And its killing me
(no way)
I Gotta let you leave
(Although)
But at least we know
That We made another memory
Of the Way you
Let me love you
Hold You
You've got me so in love
[Chorus:]
It's our dream to see
You here with me
(I miss you)
After all this time
(baby)
You're still fine
For the Weekend
(you and I)
I thank the man above
For my Weekend Love
[x2:]
It's our dream to see
You here with me
(can you believe)
After all this time
You're still fine
(on my mind)
For the Weekend
(So let's do you and me for the Week-end)
Featuring: Boney James

Momma's sound

[music]
Do ooooh
Ooooh..... [repeated]
Oh babe I -I II
I lied
I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
[pause]
You knew
And I knew
But you didn't want to hear
What I didn't want to tell you
Now we've got hard times....
And now there's no love at home
When separate we build so alone
But we can't stand to be together
To talk about it
Had time
To inc
Thoughts instead
Of bodies
This can't be love
[pause]
What if we
Produced a shorty
Hard times would still be visual
Within this love
Within our love
This can't be love
And that's the bare-naked
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
I said you were the truth
You took it as the tru-u-uth
We can't stand to be together
To talk about it
But we can't stand to be
Apart long enough to hear this thing baby
You and I started off good
Findin' time to spend time
I said what you wanted to hear
Now you need to go
I lied
I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
And you need to
Take that as the truth
If our words were truly fact
We probably still wouldn't have love
But we would love what we had
But we don't
Reality is we like
Now you and I must say goodbye
Can't you see the
Bare-naked start to speak
I'm a young man
World is mine
I shoulda' been
Straight with you from the beginning
You probably wasn't even lookin' for a man
[pause]
This time has been
No doubt interesting
But now that we broke up
I'm thinking this mighta' been love
This coulda been love
Damn what the...
I'ts just my luck
[finger snappin']
Dude from the South)
Yo, whassup dawg?
Yo, ain't you Dwele, man?

She hot, man. Where y'all from, you from Detroit?

You gotta get some diamonds in ya mouth man
I'ma take you over here to mah mans an'nem.
Yeah, he'll hook you up, dawg...real good nah'mean?
(Verse 1)
Detroit...Lady
I know you goin' crazy
Everyday to the movies
Friday's to Ruby Tuesday's
When was the last time
You left the city and moved around
Cleveland and Chi-town, they don't count
I'm talkin' 'bout flyin'
More than a hour flight
Shoney's, Waffle House delight
You need some highway in ya life
But don't bring no (purse?)
Cop that when you get there...oooooooh
(Chorus)
We can go...dirt down South
We can get Bro's gold fronts for our mouth
Temporaries...just for the week
Let's see the world
Hop in my...Chrysler 300
Throw some longhorns...on the front bumper
Just for the week...let's see the world
My travelin' girl
(Verse 2)
So, you think you will travel (ooh)
You seen the states, and, see the places
You ate the food, seen many faces
But you ain't seen it all
You ain't never walked into
A store to find yo' dollar ain't shit
Find depression thru pounds and pence
And baby, that's my word
And...you ain't never stepped into
The street to look for traffic to find...
...it's not in front of you, it's behind
You move just in time to catch the bird...flip
You'll find out when you get there...ohhhh
(Chorus 2)
We can go...to London
Bring your umbrella, it's probably rainin'
No sunshine, but no complainin'
'cause we seein' the world (fly with me)
Picadilly Square...to Camden
Jazz cafe...walk right in
Catch a free show, 'fore we see the world
My travelin' girl
(Bridge)
First first stop Paris, France like a supastar
Hop hop on the stage make 'em (*something in French*)
Next next stop, Primo Concierto Italia
Bella bella, hold me down, I call 'em my frittalia
Third third stop Germany, come backstage
Bored in this hotel, might not (???)
All all these places my lady I been before
But I ain't never been to Monaco, so...
(Chorus 3)
We can go...to Monaco
No yacht, but, we can rent a boat
With the paddles, but we could roll slow
And see the world
Make love ripples...by the boat drift
Drink champipple...the semi-cheap shit
Just for the week, let's see the world
My travelin' girl
And, we can go...straight to the moon
Close your eyes and...let's make it true
Don't need no...astrosuit
To leave this world...and
We won't need...no spaceship
Just some oils...and a tight grip
For lift off...and we heaven sent
Like a song from one to another
I feel so right inside when an idea
Comes to me about you
And I know that you feel
The same when you hear my song for you
Like a song to another
My love is designed uniquely for you
Each word you hear is from my heart
And that's why you feel this the way you do (I need you)
[Chorus:]
All I ever needed was a subject [x8]
I saw lust when I looked in your eyes
Girl you know you wrong
You know this is supposed to be a love song
But at any rate things change
I must adapt and keep pace
So there's another side to you behnid that sweet face
It's all love though (it's all lust though)
Your belly button, abs, your thighs, you legs, your a**...
Your innocence, your sweetness, your afrodisiality
Your intimate eyes
I studied your curves twofold
Like an artist to subject I hold
A creation derived from you
You're welcome my lady, thank you
There ohhhh yea yea ohhhh
Sometimes we must go
We must look at our situations lady
And how could u make me chose
Between you and my first life
Theres so many others
Wishing that they can raise their families
All first at the same
And playing and traveling
But you keep me within chain
Holding, keeping me from leaving
I hope for the day
When you and I can agree
And we can live like we ardor be
Girl its all for u
And you call me
Fame x7
We know how they feel
They say that we've got time to kill
I'm going to keep it real
My time is not crucial
Got to mind the bills
And business as usual
A life still restrained
We're living in a world insane
Tryna prove
We're superior to someone
Welcome to
Life twenty and under
Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo
Insurance is too damn high
Because of your age and where you reside
I'm working at triple A
But it don't mean shit (no no)
They still want to see 5 thousand
Every 6 months without credit
There's got to be
A way that's much easier
No coverage
That's dumb, but much cheaper
Twenty years young
A few moths away from 21
Your friends all up in the club
But you can't get in
And if you do you ain't got no
Extra cash to spend
'Cause you gave it up
To the bouncers so you get
Into the club
Get a fake ID in and
And, God, my time has come
A few more months I'll be 21
No more fake ID's
I'll be legally sober
Hitting River rock
I hope that you'll agree
And find our love to be
One of the most radiant affinities
Always in love is true
You'll do for me as well I will do for you
And will watch this love build
I love you more than I can so you in a rhyme
I was hoping we can spend some time
My goal in life fully consist of you and me
That we will live our live in affinity
I love you more than words can show you
Affinity (affinity....)
Speaking of you and I
Our love must hold no lies
And brings no alibi no jive
With us hopefully our love will always be
The envey of the young an old
I love the fact that you feel exactly like I do
And helps our affinity to prosper
Infinite affinity [echo:] (affinity)
Our affinity should last forever
you'll make it happen,I'll make it happen, will make it happen
Together
[chorus:]
Old lovas
Young at heart
Puppy lovers
Big old kids
Both of us
Co-exist
Hand in hand
We will be ripe... [repeat]
[verse 1:]
Old lovas, Laid up and young at heart,
That's what I am when I'm with you
I wouldn't mind even growing old
As long as you're by my side
Piece of mind and piece of soul
Life has no worries when I'm with you
Something like a child at play on a summer day
Through this life we will spend our time (old lovas)
Like we're big old kids (young at heart)
[chorus:]
Puppy lovers
Big old kids
Both of us
Co-exist
Hand in hand
We will be ripe
Old Lovas
Young at heart
Puppy lovers
Big old kids
Both of us
Co-exist
Hand in hand
We will be ripe
[verse 2:]
Old lovas, at 45 a song that's special
That's what I hope for you to be with me
In 15 years of holding on
Your sound is still sweet to me
Or maybe you can be my M.P.C.E.B.
Part of my everyday endeavor
When I touch your keys,
Your sweet melodies, they bring me pleasure
That's why I'mma freak you forever, yeah
But something bout this feel just like a dream
An unfortunate familiar scene
I finally found love
And now, I, I don't know
I'll just continue to pray that this is real
[chorus:]
Old lovas
Young at heart
Puppy lovers
Big old kids
Both of us
Co-exist
Hand in hand
We will be ripe... [repeat]
[verse 3:]
Old lovas, I'm hoping that this is not a dream
'Cause that would mean
One of us would have to leave
Depending on who is the dreamer and who's the dreammee
(Regardless)
We both are here
(So let's find love)
'Till our Golden years
'Till the heaven's close
And our eyes open
I hope I aint dreaming
And I hope that we'll can, till we're
[chorus:]
Old lovas young at heart
Puppy lovers
Big old kids
Both of us
Co-exist
Hand in hand

It's been some time, I tripped up this day
She don't need
No knowledge of how she ran my
Memory
Up until this day,
This fine day in may,

She followed it up with head shots called fellatio
She found my weakness

After her job was done
She went to the bathroom and said 'ill be back soon'
But you know what was strange?
She picked up her phone.
I overheard her say, 'bobby I got the dough meet me on monroe'
I choked on pride, this bitch was wrong
But I held my tongue...
As she exited the bathroom and came in
I grabbed her legs,
Threw her onto my bed,
I released my tongue
Karma lingeres until she screamed jesus!
I nto her ear I whispered.. pssssss..
And a single tear drop falls
Simply caused to the (realized is pimpin??)
She looked uneasy,
She says 'I got to go.'
She met Bobby on Monroe, yeah.
She asked for the key to the stash for the cash, B.
Bobby's birthday was tomorrow.
She promised to suck my skabarro.
The keys to unlock the safe is,
Of three years of Bobby girl's shadiness.
?? threw Bobby a kiss and smiled. *muah*
Meanwhile,
I go to take a piss,
She dropped a note in the bathroom sink and
With the inked was ran and shit.
Something about 'Japan first class ticket'.
I used my only lead.
I got in my whip to see about Monroe street.
There I see a limosine.
Windows cracked with this bitch in the backseat.
I said 'What the hell is this?'
She said 'I came with Stayo pimp and his profile.
The hottest Tokyo sound.'
Oh you Shady Mothafuuu...

Baby please,
Stop hollerin' and let this pimp ads play

But don't doubt from now on its with you that I will lay it down
I know it's silly but I, I think I love you
[Chorus:]
Money don't mean a thing
I'd rather have someone that makes me happy
Know the one, Me, her, love
Holdin each other, watchin the sun come up
And I would give up everything
Just to have a shorty that loves me
For me
[Verse 1:]
I got a house on a hill with 17 niggas around me
But it feels empty (yes it does)
And I can call two or three girls at the same time to make love to me
But I still feel lonely (so lonely)
Now I can go from 0 to 60 in my V-1-2 with the chromed out shoes
But it feels like I'm standing still (standing still)
We can take a cruise around the world
And I'll pay the cost
But I feel lost (I feel so lost)
Money don't mean a thing
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
When I look out my window I can see a small body of water
And I wish I could sail away (sail away)
For it ain't that far
I can probably can get from here to Amsha
A place in the motherland, Y'all don't understand
From the outside, looking in, I live the perfect life
But that ain't right no, no, no (so far from right)
So I do what I gotta do
Just to take it through (I'm waitin on you)
Cause it don't mean a thing, without you
Money don't mean a thing
[Chorus]
Money don't mean a thing (money don't mean a thing, no)
Money don't mean a thing
Money don't mean a thing
How many times have you had money in your life
But it didn't make things right
Money don't mean a thing
Trust me baby I confide in your love
Time away makes me come back to you can't deny
Anyway that we coincide is love
All we know is to love with our souls
While dripping love's liquor
I get a kick...out of you
Trust me baby I confide.I confide now yea
Something tells me you and I
Should never be alone
Soon baby you and I will be
Too mellow, I'm telling you, you bring out of me
A dripping, romantic, singer I...
I get a kick...out of you
As long as the sun will shine
As far as the sky will fly I...
I, I'm stuck in love with you
I can't bend these pimping rules
No more than I been flexing them
Buddy love, Spandexing and if you ain't know
I play by rules an I'm ma keep on
At least that the plan but if you keep on
I might be forced to leave game alone
(You hot like fire)
It hurts to the touch
You burning pimp my game
(I'm avoiding)
Long talks on the phone
'Cause you might have me gone
My lady, if you keep on
(On, on, on, on)
Moving your hips right, my lover, keep on
Smacking your lips right, my lover, keep on
Calling me papi, my lover, keep on
Thinking 'bout me, my lover, keep on
Rocking Prada, my lover, keep on
Working it out ma, my lover, keep on
Doing your damn thing, my lover, keep on
Making me sing this song about you
No captain save her, my moor dawdle goings
The genie in a bottle, lucky sevens that hit the solid coins
That's all I was, tipping my frame, had a different dip or a dame
Trip over game till they fall in love, had pretty women kiss the ring
Pecking the kicks, bet I'm convinced
I'm everything they wished and dreamed
You was more than just a fish on string
Earned a crown that was fit for queens, you a fix for feens
Know what I mean? Got a dude sick to spleen
Type a girl that could pose for king
(Listen, listen)
You got a body let me pick your brain
Get with dude, get this fame
Ditch your man, shake that lame
Come and take exotic trips
And exclusive whips with the premium bang
Hitting the autobahn, got us shifting lanes
Swear to God, just keep doing your thing
Just
(My lover, keep on)
Keep on
Got me in love with you, I'm telling me
All the things you can do for me
To bring my change when you buy my money
I cop the range and now you ride with me
You doing things that make me wanna keep the range
Parked outside when the sun's high
And I love the range but I can't lie
(You've got me higher)
Than I've ever been with any other woman
(I'm resigning)
Form this pimp game
Might see this pimping change if you keep on
(On, on, on, on)
Moving your hips right, my lover, keep on
Smacking your lips right, my lover, keep on
Calling me papi, my lover, keep on
Thinking 'bout me, my lover, keep on
Rocking Prada, my lover, keep on
Working it out ma, my lover, keep on
Doing your damn thing, my lover, keep on
Making me sing this song about you
You got me from them things you do
Baby, when you do what you do, when you put it on me
You've got me finding myself going crazy
I'm on my way to leaving this game alone if you keep on
Moving your hips right, smacking your lips right
Calling me papi, thinking 'bout me
Rocking prada working it out, ma
This night the thunder head's lookin' lovely
Come here baby, let me drop this dime in your ear
You lookin' bubbly, I mean lovely, hug me
I was right, your bubbly
How you like the joint that's fluctuatin' JBLs
(uh that's nice)
That's me
How would you like to come back to my pad, lay low in my studio
I don't know for a day or so, I'm not rushin' this
We can groove at Cafe Mahogany
I met this lady at Mahogany repeat
[Dwele:]
Yea they call me the don, you know..nah, I'm just playin'
What's the deal with you tonight?
[Lady:]
Nothin', what's up with you?
[Dwele:]
Ain't nothin' up, you know what I'm sayin'
You came with your girls?
[Lady:]
Yea, those my girls right over there
[Dwele:]

[Big Tone:]

Ol' girl over there hittin' you up with the mad dog dude,
Ice grillin', callin' you
[Lady:]
Who is that?
[Dwele:]
Oh God, let's roll
Lady of mahogany I'll do for you
Why is it that my ex girl is all up in my grill?
Must be that new Colgate, no wait
I feel some jealousy
While she's gettin' the soda, I'm gonna slide to the sofa
And proceed to kick monopoly to lady of mahogany
Lax with my love love and some herbal tea
Young lady grabbed the mic to kick some poetry
Her whole shit was directed to the Dwele G
While at the same time grimmin at my ex lady
Lazy I think you better call security
Thangs bout to get shady at the H.P.
[Spoken:]
Our souls have known only for one night
Yet it feels we have united despite old skeletons
With so much x in their name they should be pro black
At a constant look from your closet askin who's that?
Get the fuck back in your closet shouts to the ex flame
Your loss...My gain...Peace...
[Vocals:]
Do your thang, it's your show
Speak your peace then, let's roll
Watch your back my ex is getting close
You didn't have to break her nose
I came out here to enjoy myself
Now you got to come start some wild shit
Next time do me a favor, stay your ass at home
If you want to
I cant fall in love
knowin I still got these feelins for you
.its been so long since I told you we was thru
. you kept in touch and I touched as well
.. Thought we kept it cool Now you Bood up

. I found me a girl but I did it for front

. but I dont think Im thru which you baby
Chorus
I still choose you if you want to I still touch you, if you want Im here for you baby
I still choose you
if you want to I still crush you if you wan to
..
Shes falling in love I wish that I could catch her and be that dude
. but my arms are full cuz Im still holdin you
I could try to catch her but I get torn between the two and thats ner cool
.. why you with this dude its apparent he dont love you like I do
.he may have moves but Baby
. I GOT GROOVE
and deep down you know he cant groove you like I do
Chorus
I understand that as a man I would never understand you
I can't understand how you let a man right out command u
And I'm not just speaking from salt lake city cause that man ain't me
When clearly it should be I'm just saying
I know u understand from past circumstances you lose
You do understand by me interjecting I'm breaking all types of man rules
And I understand I don't wear his shoes but I hate seeing you blue
You know that I'm here for u when he don't give a fuck about u.
[x2:]
I would lie, would cry, would die for you
I just want to understand you
I understand that leaving him might create a broken man
But I understand sometimes better a broken man than his broken hand
I understand that I'll never understand what u going thru
But I understand sometimes you just need someone to talk to.
I understand sometimes we will lose are way
But I understand tomorrow comes a better day
And I understand you need someone to be your confidant
Well I'm right here to lay it down
Oh I would lie, would cry, would die for you
I just want to understand you, [x3]
I understand it's okay it's alright it's okay, [x2]
We're gonna miss you, poppa yo
And you know I speak the truth
I learned that two years ago now my lady
And I've had to find a way to make you mine
Remembering the summer, I was twuneanunda (twenty and under)
Had to take it one day at a time
Had an angel and a subject at the same time
Sho ya right
They crossed passed at mahogany
I tried to make it work, remember I said, let's (let's) try (try)
This life without you is not for a brother
That's why I'm here trying to find my some kinda....
Love! Love la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la- Love!
To be continued [x5]
Move to the drum, my L.A. babies
Where the night life is young,
You will find your soul
Holla! for your man's
It's addictive baby
I don't know about you
But I can't fight it

[Guy in the background:] That nigga asleep?
Just wanna be close to you.
Never a moment without your smile.
Just wanna hold you around.
Whatever's clever.
The first time I sat down to think.
Just what it is you mean to me.
You forced me to find poetry -
Just to express to you the beauty of your being.
I loved that you inspired me.
And when it comes to time:
It is just you and I.
I swear I will hold you around.
That's my endeavor.
I want to hold you in my arms, Oh!
Through (aiihh) thick and think - you know I want you.
You can't help but feel something that's real.
Lady! This is what I feel, when you grace me with your feeling:
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
When you... baby...
I want you to understand how you reject me.
I, alone, can't project, the feeling without you.
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
What is a flapjack?
Buh duh da dah duh dah duh, buh duh da dah duh dah duh, buh da dah duh duh duh, dah dah da da
I'm digging them flapjacks [x2]
[verse 1:]
If I got a girlfriend, you got a boy friend, we've got a love thing everything is right
Funny how some things work out soon as you acknowledge it
What we got is smooth all we gotta do is polish it
I gotta love you, you gotta love me
We gotta be fuckin be what we wanted to
Believe that I got plans to hold you down
I can see a future in, this being A-shot team
[hook:]
I gotta want you, you gotta want me, we gotta want the best of love
I already want you, you already want me, we gotta love thing, we gotta love thing
I gotta need you, you gotta need me, we gotta want the best of love
I already need you, you already need me, we gotta love thing, we gotta love thing
[verse 2:]
Is this a rap song, or is it vocals, am I hip hop or neo-soul
Baby it don't matter just as long as you loving it
It's gon be the same thing that it was when you discovered it
Music in a lot of ways mimics relationships,
It gets tainted when you bring rules into it
Believe I'm trying to free your mind,
Respect my light, I'll respect yours, and...
[hook]
HO!, I- I've gotta love thing
We -e need to elate
I said we need to elate (skat)
Love thing!
Hey!
Said we need to elate
Ho oh oh oh oh for real, elate
[verse 3:]
I watched your friend get out of that car
I promised that I'd get that
And All I could think when I saw you at the bar
Was caking up with them flapjacks
But now that I know your past, beauty, and face
You've changed where my thought process is at
But I would be wrong if I didn't state...
Damn you got some good flapjacks!
[vamp:]
Buh duh da dah duh dah duh, buh duh da dah duh dah duh, buh da dah duh duh duh, dah dah da da
It used to be, we would be the best of all friends
It turned to be L O V E and I was your man
So you was my lady-friend, we spent time
I found a way to be by your side
Through the ins and outs, the wrongs and rights
After a while of bein' settled down, I didn't know how to keep the love
'Cuz I was young, I wish I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't let you go, I swear I would've made this love grow
I spent a lot of time and a lot of dough
Tryin' to match what we had and now I, I
I was hopin' we could find a way
To have what we had again today
Though it's been some time since you and I
It wouldn't hurt to try to find our love
Wish that I would have known the treasures I'd found
I didn't know until you left, I loved your smile
Just the other day your girl said that you can't stand me
I know you don't mean that
Can't we just slow down a minute and talk it out?
I've been through my share of love since then
Don't know about what you've been through
But nothin' compares to what we had
All I know is I need you back and I know that you need me back
Baby, let's try again to find our love
I was hopin' we could find a way
To have what we had again today
Though it's been some time since you and I
It wouldn't hurt to try to find our love
I was hopin' we could find a way
To have what we had again today
Though it's been some time since you and I
It wouldn't hurt to try to find our love
I can't forget the times we shared
Didn't know love until love was gone
'Til I moved on
Now I'm right back to square one again
I was hopin' we could find a way
To have what we had again today
Though it's been some time since you and I
It wouldn't hurt to try to find our love
I was hopin' we could find a way
To have what we had again today
Though it's been some time since you and I
It wouldn't hurt to try to find our love
Find our love, baby
yeah
ooh woo woo
mmmm
CHORUS:
set you free as a bird
you can do as you please
don't let these memories
bring you back to a place
where you won't find love again
set you free as a bird
you can do as you please
don't let these memories
bring you back to a place
where you won't find love
held my tounge when
you talk all that la-la
held your hand in the mall
when we balled out
found a way to get you a ticket
when its sold out
just to be with you
be with you
threw my heart for a loop
when i found out
bout your plans and the things
you was all about
didnt see cause i
was just all about
finding love with you
but you cant tell the deed
you wasnt playin me
after all these thing s ive done
just to make you happy
i wish i could find a way
to make me let you stay
ive done all that i can do
except let you fly away
Chorus X2
kiss your lips in the morning when we wake up
held my comments till you put on your make up
even ate the whole plate of pancakes up
just to keep it cool
kept it cool
so this how you do
when a man come through
and try and do for you
i shoulda knew cause your homegirls are shady too
i'm mad cause i spent love on you
it took too long to see
that you've wasted all my time
after all these things ive done
just to make you happy
but check this sh** out right here
i want you to meet someone
brand new special in my life
cause you and i are done
set you free....
gonna set you free
yeah
vocals
im gonna

oohh
i know
feels so good
to be free
from love
sign of begining
free from love
free from hate
aahhh oohh
I'm better as a man and it's all because of you baby.
And now I understand when they say 'Behind a strong man there's you'
Some can't comprehend the words i speak on track 10 baby
But there's a new meaning for the truth
If the truth is in a pudding, you're jello pops are Cosby
If the truth is bare naked, then the truth, it look good on you
Simplified baby, we make it do what it do
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you.
I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, you're mine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
This song is my ode to you, for the twice time baby.
I learned a few things since the last time I told you the truth,
Got me outside with no umbrella and it's rainin.
But I don't mind your wetness, it's cool.
If we had computer love, I would let you hack my myspace.
If your love was a dance, you could youtube me and watch me.
You, you, you, you bring out the youth in an old soul baby.
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you
I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, my define
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine
It's true you got me trying to find things about you to not be so wrapped up in you,
But obvi-ously it's hopeless, that's why I wrote this.
I can't help but to focus on your ass, your smile, your eyes
Just gotta keep it truthful with myself cause in the end
I'ma want you for more than a friend.
If you ain't heard me, I'ma say it again.
I'm so, I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine, you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, so glad
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
Oh, ah, ah, ah, so glad
Oh, ah, ah, ah, you're mine
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh

What you do when you move to NYC and you left your sounds at home
All you got in the box and pc your apple computer is on (baby)
I've got a 5 dollar microphone I bought from good guys up in LA when Dwele found out that heleft his good mic at home
We call it a blessing I'm guessing it must be God

All I got to do is make chorus with my vocals on the 5 dolla mic turn the lights and do my thing in the dark look my ()
Did I mention I had me a bass guitar it's a () though and (I've got) a piano
It ain't no roads but it's nasty not to get my point across with no feel of lost

Gotta pick'em up up, man that's the least I can

Palm trees, green leaves
Colors in the fall
Happiness of spring
A sun ray, peaking through a, light rain
Sharing a nightfall feeling pleasures pain
A sunrise a night gone
Perfect scenery a perfect background song
Your melody your harmony
The beauty of your song
To the point I can't respond
[Hook:]
This how I feel when I'm around you
Sky would fall without you
Heaven's lost without you
And it's gone be alright
When I'm around you
Sky would fall without you
Heaven's lost without you
And it's gone be alright
I'm reminded of my first crush
The wobble in my knees, first touch
Summer love ice cream cone
Nights shared with you
Nights spent alone
Butterflies, first love
Sweaty palms embracing a first hug
I'm moved to say in thought of you
I can't imagine living life without you
[Hook:]
This how I feel when I'm around you
Sky would fall without you
Heaven's lost without you
And it's gone be alright
When I'm around you
Sky would fall without you
Heaven's lost without you
And it's gone be alright
[Verser 1:]
You're more then...
A pretty face
Girl with ah...
Curvy shape...
You're full of substance
You're not shallow at all...
For I wish we could sit
And talk...
Yeah...
Just about anything
From A to Z
It's crazy how you relate to me...
Aww...
Girl
With you I can always be my self
Is something that I never felt...
[Chorus:]
What's not to love about you...
Everyday I find more reasons too...
Girl is you're inner beauty...
That's always shining through
What's not to love about u...
[Verse 2:]
I love how you...
Don't walk around
With an all about me
Attitude...
Without going hard...
Chicks ain't seen you at all
It's what I'm thinking...
If you want it you can floss it
Floss it...
And you're not afraid to admit
When you're wrong...
Better yet...
What about our love making
Marathons...
Girl is making me...
Wanna head straight
To tiffany's
It's like something shining on...
It feel good...
[Chorus]
What's not to love about you...
Everyday I find more reasons too...
Girl is you're inner beauty...
That's always shining through
What's not to love about u...
[Bridge:]
I'd be a fool...
To ever let you...
Get away...
Cause there ain't no one
Who could take
You're place
And you complete me...
So many different ways...
So today I sing you praise...
Baby...
[Chorus]
What's not to love about you...
[Ad-lib:]
What's not to love...
Everyday I find more reasons too...

What's not to love...
Everyday I find more reasons too
Girl is you're inner beauty...
That's always shining through
What's not to love about u...
Love about you
[Outro:]
You're saying thangs
No one stays the same
So I take it lightly
When you say that I've changed
All that I do
Is done for you
And I can't help but feel bad
When you place me at the blame
I'm such a sucka for you baby
Oooooh
I'm such a sucka for you babe
I got enough money
To fly you around
And around the world again
Until you're ready to come down (all the way down)
But let's keep it real
Had it not been for the fame
I probably wouldn't have even known you
Or even got to know your name
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain
(Sucka) It's all for you
(I'm a sucka) Everything I do
(I'm a sucka) It's all for you
I'm amazed at your selfish ways
You want to take me from my travels
All my musical gains
(But could you live here without) Could you live here without a flat screen
Your diamonds and thangs
If I took a breathe and left this business for you
I might lose you in the same
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain
(I'm a sucka for you) Oh La-la-la-la-la
(I'm vain too) I don't want to loose what I got with you
(It's all for you) Ooooooh
I'm a sucka for you x 6
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

Won’t you, come ride with me, my lady
Maybe you can be my lova – say baby be my lova
Yeah yeah
[Verse 1:]
Say baby are you called my lady
It’s about 80 degrees and my AC is acting shady
Why you got on them clothes covering up your body

Lay it down (down) on me (down) on me, (down) on me [x2]
[verse 1]
I find it hard to believe someone as beautiful (as beautiful)
Inside, as well as physical, would hold back something so emotional (so emotional)
Just let it go, and lay it down
And enjoy yourself if only for the night
Just leave it because a new day tomorrow will bring
We will leave no void this moment can't replace
So just,
[hook:]
Lay it down (down) on me (down) on me, (down) on me [x2]
[verse 2:]
If I had one wish, it would be that I could spend more time with you
And live in your aphrodisiality, so that we could do things lovers do (lovers do)
If I could, you know I, give my love
No need to worry about what time it is (worries none)
You'll find my-self to be available, so that I could know exactly what it is
[hook:]
Lay it down (down) on me (down) on me, (down) on me [x4]
[bridge:]
Lay it down,
You should never ever, let lost love get the best of you, just (lay it down)
One man's loss is this mans gain
Won't you lay down your pain and breath (lay it down)
I- I got what you need
If you ever feel the need to (lay it down)
It's your world if only for one night, it's for you so baby won't you...
[Vamp:]
Come here lady lay it down, let your soul be down,
My Lady, My Lady, My lady
[Verse 1:]
My lady you doing it
I can't withstand
You better slow it down,
Where I'm from, Dwele will make you forget your man
I'm trying to hold tight, but I can't help if he don't move you like you need to be
(ooh oh baby alright)
(All I) wanna do (is) glide or slow motion straight to you
(Then) Figure a way to make you move (by)
Using my hands, using my dance
(All I) wanna know (is) when you get it down on the floor
(How) does your body move and make me grab your hand
And find out your name
[Hook:]
Ah, my lady
Wanna know what you eat, what you speak, wanna know your name
Ah, my lady
Wanna know if you smoke, if you tote, wanna know your name
Ah, my lady
Wanna call you tonight but I don't even know your name
Ah, my lady
Wanna know how you feel about me gettin to know you
[Verse 2:]
I got you step with me you need a ting, I
Got you, come with me, now I think its time
Wait it's so close
Let's move on to the after party,
I thinking that you stare at me for
Tonight there's no greater love, love
(All I) needed was
(one) line, one dance I thought just
(two) minutes ago you had a man
But (now) things have changed, I see nothing stays the same
(All I) wanna know (is) the quickest way to the back door
If you don't mind, I won't complain
I don't even know your name
[Hook]
You are (my lady), I wanna get to know you babe, said you are (my lady)
I need to know you in every way because you are (my lady)
You're my my my, I need to know you in a special way (my lady, my my)
So come on baby
[Hook x2]
Within a dream; I try to catch myself; and awaken myself
Before I dream of something else;
(And have the greatest song ever wrote) (oooh)
And with a hazy eye; I build myself upright; grab for my pen and screw; to bear my soul and I hope; the hand can translate my flow; (hmmm)
For overzealous pen it seems; it has a dream of being; the ink of man's soul;
The greatest pen this hand will ever hold; sometimes in the journey though, the mind to pen seems so cold; the translation is hard to hold; and we ain't even got to the studio; and now she waits to distract my motivated stroll;
Come back to bed; is the song she sings; she hates when I wake her from her lucid dream; but she don't know what this song could mean; (oh I) Why can't it wait; wait til the sun's a little bit higher; she still burns from last nights fire; and she wants me to douse the flame; but wait, If I did the song wouldn't be the same...
I'm sorry
We've been together, less than a week
But I swear it seems like 2 years at least
Whether face to face or over the phone
When I hear your voice, I'm right at home
You're so beautiful
More than a man could ever want, girl
Got me looking for cameras to see if I'm being punk'd
Trying to take it slow
Ain't no sense in lying to you or to myself
I know it's early, I know it's soon
But truth be told, I, I think I love you
It's unexpected, out of the blue
(So)
(But I)
Gotta let you know
(That I)
I think I love you
The way you touch me, the way you look at me
Everything about you is so so sexy
You do your own thing, got your own money
Everything about you is so damn
You're so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful
More than a man could ever ant girl
Got me looking for Ashton to see if I'm being punk'd
Trying to take it slow
Ain't no sense in lying to you or to myself
I know it's early, I know it's soon
But truth be told, I, I think I love you
It's unexpected, out of the blue
(So)
(But I)
Gotta let you know
(That I)
I think I love you
I never felt this way so fast
So fast about anyone, real spit
Hate to admit it, but I got it bad
I got it bad, baby girl
But it's a good thing
I know it's early, I know it's soon
But truth be told, I, I think I love you
It's unexpected, out of the blue
(So)
(But I)
Gotta let you know
(That I)
I think I love you, I think I love you
I think I love you
You're so beautiful, got me looking for
Trying to take it slow
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hold on if you don?t mind
Oh, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah
Open your ears
Don?t allow these words to be ignored by years
Fearing lullabies
Containing the same old lies
Dealing just to deal is just a crime
Besides I know you wouldn?t mind
Tryin' something new so
Let's try, we can work it out
If you let love guide the way that you feel for me
Oh, why let this opportunity pass by
You should hold on
Please don?t resist
Bless those harmonies to me
Escape your lips
There's no need to go home
Just to dance along
I know you can't enjoy it on your own
Really I don?t see nothing wrong
With you and I spending some time
Also let me mention, my only intention
Is to feed you every single thing you hunger for
In my heart I have to and want to have you
So fulfilled that you will never need to ask for more
Let's try, we can work it out
If you let love guide the way that you feel for me
Oh, why let this opportunity pass by
You should hold on
Girl instead of running from my love
You can run to, to these arms that's meant for you
So why not stay around
Let's try, we can work it out
If you let love guide the way that you feel for me
Oh, why let this opportunity pass by
You should hold on
Let's try, we can work it out
If you let love guide the way that you feel for me
Oh, why let this opportunity pass by
You should hold on
Let's try, feeling's so strong
You should hold on
Feeling's so strong
I'm filled with love,
I can't wait to give it up
No, this ain't no booty call, it's so much more
You ain't gotta be alone in your place
My place is to hold you till the daylight
Creeps thru the window, I will slay
OK, this is a booty call, but I'm just sayin'
Can I come over, you know
We can't let the night get old
We can wake your neighbors halfway thru
But you ain't pickin up, that's rude
Why you dodgin' your phone, I know you hear me callin' you
What you doin', baby?
I just wanna touch you, baby
Why you dodgin' your phone, I know you hear me callin' you
What you doin', baby?
I wanna see you, babe
Why you dodgin' your phone, I know you hear me callin' you
What you doin', baby?
I know you
Why you dodgin' your phone, I know you hear me callin' you
(Hear me callin you, girl what it do)
What you doin', baby?
I know it's 3 am in the morning
You complain you gotta wake up before I do and you hate
To see me yawnin'
But you've got a long day and people love when you're glowin'
You see where I'm goin
You should be waitin' on me, but it helps when I know it
Answer your phone and show it
Can I come over, you know
We can't let the night get old
We can wake the neighbors halfway thru
But you ain't pickin up, that's rude
I don't wanna blow your line
But I'm tryin' to touch you up
I'm callin you one more time
You must be sleepin', pick up
[Rap: David Banner]
Dwele, why won't she pick up the cellie?

Krooked kop leave me alone

If you dont live here then you dont belong in my neighborhood
You dont belong in my neighborhood no no no

Youd like to hang around and beat brothers down
But you dont wanna change things oh no
It must be a prerec ya

For you to even join the force
You gotta hate black of course

Cuz no ruler reigns forever
What will you do when

Go find someone to run your game on
Go find someone to fool around with
Go and tell po watchin my spot
If you dont live here
I’m 22 big dreamin it ain’t over
I’ma own a Rover, watch me
Few years later made it happen not from rapping
Smacking albums, big dream it's still in me
One day I’ma own a Bentley, Watch me
Drink the finest Henny,
Make all of 'em Girl-girls, say hey-hey
Rub my body up like I rock the x spray, (psst) Watch me
Hey, hold up, hold up, I think I’m big Preach
Let me bury y'all and I love to ball
Got the chicks and they all... Watch me
Some guys win’em all
Smoke good, ride minks, from big and tall
50 feet up in the air, walking with the birds
If you wanna watch me, buy binoculars
I smurf out on you, my dime is so blue
If you only had a smurfing clue
You and your crew would probably, Watch me
Till this song is through
Now I’m halfway to Cali hood to Brooklyn zoo
Coast to coast here from snoop-dizzle to some Malaw-shit, Watch
Now that’s some real shit, You can feel shit
I’m running out of shit to say so just, Watch me-he
Get on some Opp it’s surely
Loosing my mind like some foreign-carbon-no navigation
Bolts-and-screws-leaving-my-head-loose while-they-all, Watch me (Ha)
It’s no occasion, A-day is amazing Gucci flip flops I ain't even on
Vacation,
My neighbours all, Watch me
They be pacing, outside my window just cold, shaking
While I’m inside, breakfast, bacon... Rockstar, Watch me
Lifestyle, might don’t make it, receptor cold waste it,
No Milly-Vanilla here, we all get *chocolate wasted*, Watch me
Take a song about nothing, Turn it into something
Rap about nothing, get it to the end and make you watch it again...
You wont be lonely tonight
If i have anything to do about it, say about it, its for our love
You wont be lonely tonight
If i have anything to do about it, say about it, its for our love
You wont be lonely tonight
If i have anything to do about it, say about it, its for our love
You wont be lonely tonight
If i have anything to do about it, say about it, its for our love
(Intro)
Yea...1, 2, 3
(1st Verse)
Desire blinded me at first
Allowing me to see, nothing past me
But you restored my innocence(restored my innocence) Ain't nothing I forsake...(yea yea) I needed you to breathe.
(Bridge)
It's better to be with you, than being me,
Greater than one, less than three.
It's better to be with you (yea yea.) than being me. (oh) Greater than one, (oh) less than three.
Desire blinded me at first
Allowing me to see, nothing past me
But you (You) restored my innocence
My man was steady stacking chips, riding in the classy whips
Living every day like his birthday
And house gotta door with the door man
But it seems that your man forgot what you need in the worst way
Is to be loved, from the top of your head
Down to your pretty pedicure toes, whoa
You wanna be loved, it's the thing that last long
After all the money comes and goes
What profit a man, to gain the whole wide world
To lose his girl, lose his girl
If I was your man, I'd do all that I can to keep you girl
What profit a man
Lately when he took you out
Mostly all he talked about were things that meant little to you, babe
Hollywod had him gone, he forgot what turned you on
Almost as if he never knew you
Needed to be loved, from deep inside of your mind
Down to the depths of your soul, oh
You wanna be loved
You see love lasts long, after all the money comes and goes
What profit a man, to gain the whole wide world
To lose his girl, lose his girl. hey it means nothing in life unless I got you
If I was your man, I'd do all that I can to keep you girl
Yeah, I'd do what I can, what profit a man,
To get these material things, and turn around and lose your queen
The one who was there, ridin' for you when it was all just a dream
How you gonna get brand new
With the only girl who ever loved you, ooh baby
What profit a man, to gain the whole wide world
To lose his girl, lose his girl, hey I'd rather not lose you baby
If I was your man, I'd do all that I can to keep you girl
Just to keep you, what profit a man
What profit a man, to gain the whole wide world
To lose his girl, I'd rather lose everything than lose you
If I was your man, I'd do all that I can to keep you girl
look what you've done to me
I can't even keep in touch
i hate i just lost a very good friend
she could've been my one true love (yeah)
she wanted more, but I wasn't ready
(living my life. loving the fame)
me keeping it real made her heart heavy
(i should have lied, stayed in the game)
And i can admit it
scared me when she said
Where is this going?
I said i'm not ready
she said she's leaving
sumthin bout her clock ticking
and she wants children
look what you've done to me
you found you a brand new love
Atleast you call me ever now and again (ha)
to playfully rub it in
But when I ask you are you happy
(there is a sigh, painfully YES!)
but one year later, you got married
(I asked you why, you said you were pressed)
Now it hurts me
when i hear you say
You don't know where this is going
You're not ready
And you're leaving
time is still ticking
but now your expecting children
Now she's single
and I'm seeing more of her
I realize
the more time we spend together
the more i miss her
who she was
It's not the same
she's changed
now she got a daughter
I'm wondering
what role she'll play in my life
and me and hers
and I don't know
where this is going
now i'm ready
as a friend no more leaving
break the clock no more ticking
i'll be there for your children
be there to hold you
help you pick up your pieces
First let me say I'm sorry
In case I go too far
But I don't foresee a problem
For the fact that here you are!
And here I am, here's my disclaimer
If you decide to stay
I swear you won't regret this moment
But first I need you to obey
Embrace screams, lay it down, loose those jeans
Show you how your pussy works yea
I can be your B. Mcknight, take all day.
But first obey!
Oh, oh, oh
If only for one moment
Accept me as your king
In return I'll turn to love you
My hand, your neck, no screams.
Tap me once if it's too much pressure
Tap twice if you need to breath
Don't play tough if you're not ready
Before you faint on me
Obey, stay in place
Oh, as I grab your waist
Don't get mad if I bury your face
I might snatch your hair if it's real
Ride the wave, take all day
But first obey!
Embrace screams, lay it down, loose those jeans
Show you how your pussy works yea
I can be your B. Mcknight, take all day.
But first obey!
Slow it down, your're cumming all over me
I aint tripping it'll all wash off with a towel
Take your time, the sun don't come for a while
Meanwhile I'mma make sure to make you smile
Grind slow, no premature popping the gun.
I'm tryna work the middle down til it's all done,
Til its all done, til its all
Call me in the morning,
Just to wake me with the sun.
I only do this for my lover...(oh, oh, oh.)
Early as hell

No matter the time.
'Cause you're my angel, yeah.
Like old lovas do.
