Loves the seashells
At the shore she
Loves the seashells
She can see the silver
Sometimes shining on the sea
Reflecting from the flying fishes
Wishing she could be
A little piece of sand that's blown
Above the ocean's breeze
But all she has is thoughts of all
Those fingers peeling seeds
And leaving them to mold among
The women watching weeds

[Incomprehensible]
You got me smilin', again you
Got me smilin' again
Smilin', again you
Got me smilin', again
One night of pleasure, nine months of pain
Three days later and that's when you came
Two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes
Brown eyes like Mom, with your Grandmother's nose
Even though you're Momma's baby
And Daddy's little baby
My love is unconditional to one of us is Swayze
Day or night, roll the light, no matter what you do
Like the Jackson 5 said, ?I'll be there for you? 'coz
My life is your life and your life is mine
Through thick and thin I'm your friend 'til the end of time
I'll make sure you get your props, you can call me pops
And anything you need, I'll pull it out of the stops
Even though we're not together like we used to be
D-A-D-D-Y, you can count on me
'Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and I smile again
You got me smilin', again you
Got me smilin' again
Smilin', again you
Got me smilin', again
Forget about Batman, Superman and the Power Rangers
'Coz I'ma be your hero if you ever in some danger
This ain't the Huckstables and my name ain't Cliff
No matter how old you get, you could get that ass whipped
Daddy, don't take no mess
And I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best
When I do what I do 'coz you did what you did
It's 'coz I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dumb ass kids
You gosta be a leader, it's my responsibility to teach ya
Right from wrong and make decisions of your own
I never said that I was perfect but I know you're worth it so
I'ma do my damnest, to make sure you get some chances
So just listen to your Daddy 'coz he tryin' to tell ya something
And don't let nobody tell ya, I don't love ya 'coz they frontin'
'Coz when I'm feelin' down, every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and I smile again
You got me smilin', again you
Got me smilin' again
Smilin', again you
Got me smilin', again
You got me smilin'
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You got me smilin'
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Every day is a struggle, when life is like a puzzle
That we gotta put together, together so and ever
You need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on
Your Daddy's home
I'm tryin' to build a foundation on which you could stand
When you's a grown woman and you's a grown man
I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' to hear
When I can't be there in the flesh, I'm there in the spirit
I'm tryna make an impression on the things that you stand for
The knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids
I know it's hard growing up 'coz I used to be a youngsta
So we gon' work as a team
So the [incomprehensible] don't take ya under
People let me tell ya about my best friends
'Coz I'm down with the children, all the way 'til the end
'Coz when I'm feelin' down, every now and then
I take a look into they eyes and I smile again
You got me smilin', again you
Got me smilin' again
Smilin', again you
Got me smilin', again

Got me smilin' again
Smilin', again you
You don't have to say no words
And it comes in every language
You can see it in every nation
It helps communication
It's like a shining sun
Up high in the sky
And when you blink your eyes
It's like a nice surprise
Take your time
As long as you make the time
To be happy
Smile on, pass it on
Smile on, pass it on
Do do dodoo
Do do do do dodoo
You got to keep moving
Keep movin keep movin
It's a universal sign
Everyone can do it
You can change people's minds
If you choose to use it
Smile on, pass it on

You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad, yeah
I was young, sixteen, put the city on my back
Said I'll do it I did it, Albany on the map
Been stickin' to the script y'all really wanna act
Like I ain't the real reason y'all really wanna rap
They jealous they wanna step in my spot but you can sneeze
The rest of ya life and won't get the blessings I got
I sold butter made bread plus I roll wit toast
My brother call me nearsighted say my foes is close
No friends, it's just a waste of time I know ya bogus
Crooked behind my back ya like a spine wit scoliosis
I'm focused like the Ford car, private like a G4
Try me get shells in ya waves like a seashore
See I don't be on what he on we grown he wrong
He gon' keep on he gon' be gone
Two-faced like Geminis, I came up wit you man
I'll speak but I don't mess wit you man
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad, yeah
Why is it when my frown is down side up ya smile is upside down?
Is it because of my fly style or is it my nice house?
Is it 'cause I'm iced out and livin' a life now that
I'm 'bout through strugglin' everything is alright now?
You see the jag on them flats pass
Don't get mad, get glad like the trashbags
You just pray and pray on my downfall
When I'm up ya down me when I'm down ya clown me
Claimin' to be my friend but really softer than the spot
In my back to ease his knife in
He ain't got love for me, I wrote a rhyme about it
That hole ya dug for me you tryna climb up out it
Ya bust ya head at the bottom now ya cryin' about it
Well, when around came right back around and got him
The more paper the more haters, I need more cheese
'Cause the haters I got they startin' to bore me
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad, yeah
From the tip o' ya nose to the tip o' ya toes
Y'all ain't nothin' but some hatin'
Smilin' in my face everyday like "What up Luda"
I'm just waitin' for the day to put a slug up to ya
Ol' fake kissers walk past diss ya
Breathe you a wannabe me, why?
'Cause I got new whips and wreck 'em or
'Cause I got flows that make, bend it like Beckham
Is it 'cause a lot of money stay close to me?
Or is it cause you should have been where I'm supposed to be?
Well, everyday I stay fresh whole fam got cheese
So I could care less what you think about me
I thank my enemies and I truly adore 'em
Best way to get back at somebody is to ignore 'em
I'm the heavyweight champ, we'll see who gon' drop
'Cause everybody in the bottom know who on top, Luda
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
But when I'm glad you get mad
You be smilin' when I'm frownin'
You be frownin' when I'm smilin'
You be happy when I'm sad
When kids dream, they dream of brand names
Lined up on the fence while we take aim
Nevermind the lies
They go great with your new disguise
I know it never crossed your mind
It was engineered not to
Because we know you will love whatever marketing thinks of
Just follow Miss Vuitton
She'll give you something to believe in
And your soul won't feel a thing
Dance around the burning dollars
X million sold
Sing it for the burning dollars
X million sold
Advertised appetites satisfied for a price
Dance around the burning dollars and kiss your innocence goodbye
Circling like sharks around us
Flashing icons gagged and bound us
We're all ears and eyes upon which are capitalized
We lust for whatever bait is laid
Oh Semolina
the palm tree's blowing in the wind
Oh Semolina
once you were out but now you're in
Oh Semolina
I feel so good I feel allright
Oh Semolina
dance the Semolina tango tonight.
Oh Semolina
the stars are shining in your eyes
Oh Semolina
right under Semolina skies
Oh Semolina
turn up the sound turn down the light
Oh Semolina
dance the Semolina tango tonight
Oh Semolina
I hear the music start to play
Oh Semolina
inside Fernando's hideaway
Oh Semolina
the champagne makes you feel allright
Oh Semolina
dance the Semolina tango tonight
Oh Semolina
la la la la la la la la
Oh Semolina
la la la la la la la la
Oh Semolina
come to me closer hold me tight
Oh Semolina
dance the Semolina tango tonight.
O Semolina
the plam tree's blowing in the wind . . .

Verse 1:
In this dark world, no one really cares what happens to me.
So, when I bring myself down
Can you hear the words that I say to you 'cause.
Chorus:
It's the same as long ago,
You wouldn't know me, you wouldn't want to.
Now the sickness stays alone.
Verse 2:
Try to realize what I'm saying to you,
Get it through your head that I wanna focus to believe.
'Cause you'll get what you want,
And you'll see that I'm not,
Just a waste of space that denies you from when I say that...
Break:
See me alone, lone. See me alone,
I'll take tonight to enter you,
See me alone, lone, see me alone,
I'll take it to relax, see me alone, lone. See me alone.
I'll take you where you want to go.
I am not gonna make it
I can see the crowd around me
Is getting bigger, and as it is
I'm trying to figure out
Why I feel so isolated
I have my friends
But don't have much time for them
I have my house
A tiny pocket in my luggage
I have my boyfriend
But he's also so tired of listening to me
Every single day
Seems like a mountain to climb
Every single word
It takes all my strength to get it out
I'm tired of talking about me
But in fact, it's the only thing
I get a grip on
I feel like I'm not gonna make it
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it
But it might be the best thing
That ever happened to me. so now
Hey little girl keep on smiling:
Cause they don't want to hear you complaining
You're a lucky girl
Your life's so exciting
So I'll keep on making bad jokes
'Cause you think I'm strong
And it might be the way you like it
Oh how I need you to like me...
I have tried as hard as I can
I have tried to go through 9 to 5
But I was like a train
Between work and bars
Never found out what I was travelling for
Now I have my car
But I ain't got no safe place to go
I still hold my drink
But I'm not as thirsty as before
I have my voice
But I heard lately that people
Don't want to hear sad songs
Every single place
It's all the same to me
Every single face
I know it wine replaced
By another smiley one
Who will also be left soon
Somewhere behind
I feel like I'm not gonna make it
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it
But it might be the best thing
That ever happened to me, so now
Hey little girl keep on smiling
'Cause they dont want to hear you complaining
You're a lucky girl
Your life's so exciting
So I'll keep on making bad jokes
'Cause you think I'm strong
And it might be the way you like it
Oh how I need you to like me.
Please now just don't count on me
I can't handle it anymore
And don't ask me why
If you don't want me to lie
But dont be alarmed
Don't you see that I'm just down
Just dont worry soon
I'll be back on the tracks
Smilin'.
'Cause I'll get tired of complaining
I'm a lucky girl
And I'm doing exactly what I wanted
So I'll keep on making bad jokes
'Cause I need to be strong
It might be my only chance to get out of it
Tell me why I'm feeling this way
'Cause nothings the same when your gone
There's something going on in my brain
I'm finding it hard to explain
Why am I addicted to you
And when did I first lose control
How can I escape from your hold
And how can I change when I'm...
There's something that stirring deep inside
As long as you'll stay I'll be alright
You got me smilin'
You got me smilin' when I, think of you
You got me smilin'
'Cause I keep dreaming of you
You got me smilin'
I keep on smilin' when I, dream of you
You got me smilin'
Cause I keep thinking of you
Now you've gone I'm wanting you back
I need you to make me feel good
The smoke inside my body reacts
Oh no I think that I'm under attack
It's burning up a hole in my veins
And suddenly everything's fine
I'm searching for some hope in this space
You see I try but I just can't explain
You got me smilin'
You got me smilin' when I, think of you
You got me smilin'
'Cause I keep dreaming of you
You got me smilin'
I keep on smilin' when I, dream of you
You got me smilin'
'Cause I keep thinking of you
You got me smilin'
I keep on smilin' yeah
You got me smilin'
'Cause I keep dreaming of you
He stepped inside his home, he was overwhelmed with fear An angel came with words from God, things were still unclear Saying read - read, but he could not read, amazing words that he heard A trembling deep inside his heart, confused by what had occurred
There was only one who could comfort him To help him see the light To ease his fears, to reassure Was khadijah, his wife…
Chorus He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, Dathirooni, Dathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me) A mighty task has come before me… I need you here with me… By my side…
She was a woman of nobility, successful in all her trade Many wealthy men had asked for her, she turned them all away But when she saw Muhammad, a shining moon, may peace be on his soul He was a light for her – so right for her – her life will now be whole
But she had never seen him so distressed, as he was there that day But she would comfort him, and hold him tight, and chase his doubts away
Chorus
Bridge… We look for stories of love, in places dark and cold When we have a guiding light, for the whole world to behold But we're so selfish in our ways, to the ones we hold so close Our own pleasure and happiness is what we value most
But she sacrificed all her wealth and everything she had And he honored her, and gave her faith, when the times were bad, the times were bad...
Now years have passed, times have changed, since khadijah breathed her last. And the Message of the one true God, was spreading far and vast But then he came across some jewellery, that khajidah had once worn His eyes began to swell with tears, his heart began to mourn
Cause she was there for him, when times were rough, and his enemies were cruel She was the first believer, so keen and eager, to comfort ar-Rasool
Chorus
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abada 'Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi...(X4) (O my Leader, send your salutations and blessings forever Upon Your Beloved, the best of the whole of creation) Rasullullah,Habiballlah,Shafiallah,Nabiallah
