Blue skies are lookin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies who I see
And there's bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
People say I'm selfish
Yeah, they say I'm not the same
Yeah, they say your girl's changed
Don't ask me if I feel a thing
The ones who put the pennies down
Say we're never stayin' around
Busy at the bed we made
So what you think they're gonna say?
People keep on talkin', let them talk away
(Let them talk away)
Sometimes you gotta give up and let them say what they say
(Let them say what they say, what they say, what they say)
All I need is my God, nobody's bigger than He
So I say, go ahead, it's free publicity
(Go ahead, go ahead)
'Cause I got
Blue skies are lookin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies who I see
And there's bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Watch me as I close my ears
Hold this on the positive
Sittin' in a first class lounge
Take me up above the clouds
See I and everything I have
All will pat me on the back
Watchin' you, I keep around
'Cause they're the ones that keep me down
I was born on the out and this is why I go in
(This is why, this is why I work so hard)
I got too much to lose so I ain't stressin' one man)
(Ooh, I won't, I won't)
With the good comes the bad and then it turns to great
It's so far at the back, this is a vengeance, love swayed
(As a vengeance, love swayed)
That's why
Blue skies are lookin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies who I see
And there's bluebirds singin' a song

But he likes, all the same
And these lights are glowing
But he don't want none
He rather chill and hug me
Baby, he could be the one

You want me to trust you
But how can I trust you
When I don't know the first thing about that
There's so many questions

Wanna be your only one, baby

I've been here before

When the dark creeps in my mind
Will you be there baby?
Or will you let me go?
Can you stand the pressure?
This is what I need to know
[Chorus]
You want me to trust you
But how can I trust you
When I don't know the first thing about that

I always knew you were the one to play the parts then
And now I see I should have kept you at arm? s length
I thought you changed from the past and then you make me waste my time.
[?.?]
Obviously, I got you wrong from the start
I should have never let it get that far
I can? t deal with your attitude
Erase my number from your phone; I? ve had it with you
And it? s so classic that you want to blame the whole situation on me
Now let? s see, I aint saying I was perfect
But you played your little games
Was it worth it?
And everything that I did you deserved it
And these days I hardly walk out the door ? cause you blow everything
Out of proportion
I? m not surprised we don? t talk any more ? cause you just played with my mind
But it? s all good.
[-John Legend]
Hey girl I Love you so and

[Verse 1: Estelle]
Don't you feel sometimes
You don't work too hard to find
Just an average piece of mind
Just a little chance to shine
Don't you feel sometimes
When there's nowhere else to hide
That's exactly bout the time
That you pull from deep inside
[Verse 2: Common]
I went to New York with four days of clothes
It's 6 million ways, I had more ways to flow
Rose like Derrick on Chicago Bull
Knew a couple of pushes, that's Chicago pull
But now it was time for the world to use it
The big city lights I was lost in music
The victorious, thinking big like historians
The story of the warriors gets so glorious
[Hook]
So I made a way, and we changed the game
So that we can say, and we'll say like we say
We are victorious, victorious, we are victorious
We are victorious, victorious, we are victorious
And we say, yeah we say, we are victorious
[Verse 3: Estelle]
Don't you doubt that I
I've been where you are yes I'm
In the middle of my fight
But I'm sure I'll get... (don't give up)
Won't let them win, won't you worry they expecting
I'mma get where I'm getting
Step in my own directions
[Verse 4: Common]
Admired by the critics, for how I spit it
Admired by the people, for how I live it
Gift, give it – the best that I've got
I need a vacant lot, always cold
They said I need to make it hot
On the radio, I wasn't getting played a lot
But somewhere in your hearts, y'all saved a spot
Now I pose like mike when he made the shot
Something the lord made, now we done made a lot
How you doing baby
Haven't seen you lately
Happy you could come around
Do you want a drink or
Something good to eat it
Seems like you might stay a while
What was that you said you
Really love my place and
Yeah I always did have style
Well let me take your coat go
Chill out on the sofa
Tell me why I miss this vibe
Let's talk
Let's just let this day
Take us where we are
Don't be scared it's cool
It's just us
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
I've been really good just
Acting like it's cool some
Times I miss the days gone by
Remember you and I are
Starts I said you weren't my type
Well now you're on your business
I'm here making hits and
Yeah our lives have turned out nice
No I'm not getting misty
No you cannot kiss me
Even though I might not mind
It's cold
Cold outside I know
Would you like those [?]
Still the same you too close
Close to me
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
It's about to storm and
Here it's kind of warm and
You could stay but take the couch
I'm a wrap my hair up
Go remove my make up
When did you get muscled out
I already know you
Don't think I don't know you
Try and creep into my bed
Maybe I might would let you
Maybe cause I miss you
Maybe we're just fooling ourselves
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
Know I already know you
Don't think I don't know you
Try and creep into my bed
I think I might let you
It's because I miss you
I want you back, I want you back
I know you recognize me, I recognize you too
I heard your reputation hopes are up it's true
And yes it's [?] crowded, but they are disappear
Cause when I look at you, it's like no one's here
I want [?] the agreement, of things that we could do
I'd rather take a chance and spend a life with you
Cold crush, I'm trying to keep my cool, I want you so much
Your way we gonna do, I walk away this way, say you'll make my day
Oh won't you come and kiss me till there's nothing left to say
Crush
You walk across the room, I see you look at me
I sneak a look at you, is that a sign?
Though this ain't the way this ain't the rules
I'm not gonna let you slip away, I gotta make a move
I'll send a drink all over, come meet me by the pool
I want you feeling bout a secret rendez-vous
Just find a couple hours, let's sneak and follow...
I promise not to tell what we're around to do
Cold crush, I'm trying to keep my cool, I want you so much
Your way we gonna do, I walk away this way, say you'll make my day
Oh won't you come and kiss me till there's nothing left to say
Crush
Is it wrong that I'm so glad you came?
Was I supposed to step to you this way
I'm so cold, not trying to loose my cool
But I get open when I'm next to you
There's my dress, there's your shoes
All our clothes have fall across this room
I don't care what happens you can lead the way
Baby stay, make me say
Cold crush, I'm trying to keep my cool, I want you so much
Your way we gonna do, I walk away this way, say you'll make my day
Oh won't you come and kiss me till there's nothing left to say
Haaaaa haaaaa (haaaa haaaaa)

To feel this weighing it feels so strong

Felt like i want you more without saying a thing ??
Memorizing this moment believe i la la la la la

And if you know anything
Bout loving anyone
Somehow you got to be satisfied

when i am dancing i am dancing to the beat of a drummer you don't hear and you can't see
so if i look offbeat to you, well the problem must be you not me
irregular irrelevant unusual but never uncool
you're not call for my close
you never get me, i don't get you
either a believer of the fact
that unique equals love
so i won't go into the vast with you
open your mind and speed up
my road, it ain't your road, but just don't know just where i'm going
my flow it ain't your flow,just i know, just how i'm flowing
i do my thing i do my thing
please feel free to hate everything
said ima do my thing
i do my thing i do my thing
say what you want cause this one ain't gonna change
i do my thing i do my thing
Cuz I just wanna love you, baby
I don't wanna waste no time
Wanna be your only one, baby
Please don't break my heart
[Rick Ross - Rap Verse]
[Estelle - Verse 1]
All these stars out
And these people know my name
I can be so pretentious
But he likes, all the same
And these lights are glowing
But he don't want none
He rather chill and hold me
Baby, he could be the one
[Chorus]
You want me to trust you
But how can I trust you
When I don't know the first thing about that
There's so many questions
And I don't wanna listen
Messing with my heart and I just got it back
I just wanna love you, baby
I don't wanna waste no time
Wanna be your only one, baby
Please don't break my heart
[Estelle - Verse 2]
I've been here before
I don't know if you're the type
Who's gonna be keep me sure
When the dark creeps in my mind
Will you be there baby?
Or will you let me go?
Can you stand the pressure?
This is what I need to know
[Chorus]
You want me to trust youBut how can I trust you
When I don't know the first thing about that
There's so many questions
There's so many lessons
And I need for you to have my back
I just wanna love you, baby
I don't wanna waste no time
Wanna be your only one, baby
Please don't break my heart
[Rick Ross - Rap Verse]

Just another one champion sound
Me and you about to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now
Just touched down in London town
Bet they give me a pound
Tell them put the money in my hand right now
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 4 foot 7 boy who's just my type
I like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but I like the way he's thinking
And no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits
First let's see the West End, I'll show you all my best friends
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.

You'll be my American boy, American boy
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm lovin' those shell toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
Would you be my love, my love?

Could you be my love, my love?

This is a dog eat dog world
But it belongs to the man,
But it's not without the love
Of a woman's understanding
Hurting ourselves for no reason that you have,
Was already yours, anyway,
If you see somebody I want you to smile instead of frown,
Just because they look angry
Don't mean they wanna beat you down,
And it, don't cost you nothing
But you pay for a gun,
Kill our sisters and sons,
People we need to be...
Free!
Said we're Free, to live and love again
To your mum or your sister, brother or friend,
This can be solved, just find it in your soul,
Come get your Free, come get your Free-dom,
from the start i knew
your heart was always for me but as we grow
something changed down the road
ain't nothing i could say that could bring us back
to the same as before
your head is over there you don't feel the same
you don't want me no more
we got to play the game i ain't keepin' scores cause
i'm much clearer now than i've ever been
aha, thought i'll be with you till the very end
oh the road got long and things have changed
and you moved on and that's okay because
i finally found my way back to love again
yeah we changed and we grow
some things will stay the same as the others pass
takes a while, a while on the road
and so begins the ad as we reap and sow
then the hurt, when you're hurt
stays pressin' on your heart, stings and lets you know
that i feel how i feel
courtesy of lyricshall.com
cuts deeper than a wound i refuse to heal but
i'm much clearer now than i've ever been
aha, thought i'll be with you till the very end
oh the road got long and things have changed
and you moved on and that's okay because
i finally found my way back to love again
i finally found my way back to love again
it's time to move on
time to let go
this is nothing like we dreamed
we will end up
if i love you, i should let you go and change you
cause i
i'm much clearer now than i've ever been
thought that i, thought i'll be with you till the very end
oh the road got long and things have changed
and you moved on and that's okay because
i finally found my way back to love again
ooh oh oh oh oh oh...

Ha, this remind me of summer
I?m talking ?bout an English summer
You know where it rains all night long
Yeah, but this reminds me of you
We don?t need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I?ll walk away
It was last love, not the first time for you to notice me
?Cos you had yours and I had mine it still wouldn?t find to see
If it makes sense, I would make sense when you put your lips on me
And the feeling, get to feel this like this was meant to be
Nah, but apparently you only get one chance
And I, this is something I may want to last
But we both got other things we got to do
And then that don?t stop this girl from feeling you
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
We don?t need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I?ll walk away
But this is nothing but the real that I speak to you
Feel how I feel for you, nothing?s quite real but you
I?m changing up my expectations
This ain't changing my person, oh it?s just relations
And uh, I tried to tell me that a couple times
But you seemed to get into my heart and write a rhyme
And you, a future with a capital F
And I wonder how I got into this beautiful mess
Now I, now this is something I would never do
But you color my heart in different shades of you
I guess we, we just gotta see where this will go
I know if you?re willing I?m gonna wait for you
To go with me, for to you to go with me
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
We don?t need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I?ll walk away
This could take a whole lotta time
'Cos I feel your love in oh so many ways with you
We could be together in the rain
You and me together, okay you and me together
Oh baby I?m gonna wait to go out in the rain
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
We don?t need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I?ll walk away
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
We don?t need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I?ll walk away
Loving in the rain, leave your girl
All night long, I?ll leave my man
Loving in the rain, we don?t need no friends
All night long, just hold my hand
Loving in the rain ?til the sun comes out all night long
We don?t need to be, just a memory

From here to Saint Trope
You see me and you don`t
Like all the other baby

Somebody tell the pilot
That the fly est has arrived
Tell them
I probably be the fly est till I die.
Lets just fall in love (ooh-ooh)
So we could fall in love
(ba ba ba ba)
We could fall in love (x2)
Lo-ooo-ve
Be on the stars and the moon and the sky, lets fall in love
I see you, know you see me too
'Cause you're slowing down
Put some extra pep in my step
N ow, I'm trying to be cool make you turn around and check me out
We walk by each other daily
But there's something 'bout today that says maybe
The street signs, the city lights, all the stars, could lead me to you
And you knooooow
If it's okay with you
If it's okay with you, lets go
Go to some place that we dont know
Do need a reason baby we might be crazy
I'm thinking, we should fall in love
We could fall in love (ba ba ba)
Be on the stars and the moon and the sky
Just fall in love
Let's go slow
We got all the time we could ever need
We could catch a movie and possibly
We could get together more frequently
I cannt believe
We walk by each other daily
But there's something bout today that says maybe
The street signs, the city lights, all the stars could lead me to you
And you knooow
If it's okay wit you, let's go
Go to someplace that we dont know
Dont need a reason baby
We might be crazy
Thinking, we should fall in love
We could fall in love
[Nas]
If it aint a son in them air force ones
With all this Rose and all these blunts
Who dares violates you must get stopped
Who the king of New York and Don’t say trump
Nas the name I used to holla at dames
Let em ring the bell at the stock exchange
Put her in chanel her Reeboks were lame
Had her front row at the boxing ring
What happened to you girl you’re not the same
Top floor (?) we’re not playing
Feeling better than I ever did
Nothing negative n-ggas talk rhetoric
I’m a soldier of love ask Sade
More like frank only do it my way
It dont matter what the blogs say
I go hard like aint nobody signed me
Lets just fall in love (ooh-ooh)
So we could fall in love
(ba ba ba ba)
We could fall in love (x2)
Lo-ooo-ve

Miscellaneous
Everything A Man Could Ever Need
(Written by Mac Davis)
(As recorded by Glen Campbell)
(From the movie 'Norwood')
Looking back on the days
When I was scuffling for a buck
Not overly concerned with life and love
I was always feeling sorry
For myself and my bad luck
I never stopped to think what life's made of
With my nose to the grindstone
And my collar to the wheel
I fought for my daily dollar like a man
Then you came into my life
And nothing else seemed real
I found the answer right here in my hands
Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need
Now my working days seem shorter
Than they ever did before
And the evening breeze gets cooler day by day
And the morning sun is always shining
Down on my backdoor
And your laughter washes all my tears away
And there's not a day goes by
When I don't look up to the sky
And humbly thank the good Lord up above
For bringing you to me in time
To make me realize
That all a poor man really needs is love
Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need
It's all an open center
Opens up and lets the wind lift him away
It doesn't have to feel water
It's just a place that feels right with him
Kinda like the way you're breathing
I kinda like the way you keep looking away
Would you like to glide on
Slide a mile six inches at a time on Maynard's dick
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away
Would you like to climb on
Climb on my six inches and go down on Maynard's dick
Took you out in the back of the toolshed
Put it right on top of your forehead
Took you out in the back of the toolshed
Now you know what you're fuckin with... Maynard's dick!
If I was to tell you just how much I need you
Would you come tonight?
Or would you not believe me 'cause a love that easy
Never turns out right?
I'm trying to change the rules
You deserve something good in your life
We've waited for far too long
So come get your blessing tonight, baby
Won't you come over love so I can show you love?
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need, baby
So many search to find love that's as good as mine
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, bring it all to me, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, let me teach you, give you love instruction
Show you what I know
We should take it easy, ain't no need to rush, no
Baby, nice and slow
All this love I can give to you
I expect just a bit in return
You don't have to be perfect, love
As long as you're willing to learn, baby
Won't you come over love so I can show you love?
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need, baby
So many search to find love that's as good as mine
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, bring it all to me, ooh, ooh, ooh
Turn down the lights
Give you all of my love tonight
Let's do what lovers do
Oh, I'm ready for you
Don't wanna to waste my time
So don't make me beg tonight
And don't keep me waiting for love
Won't you come over love?
Won't you come over love so I can show you love?
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need, baby
So many search to find love that's as good as mine
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, bring it all to me, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, you know I love
Said I love, yes I love, I love
Bring it all to me 'cause I love
I want, I want, baby
I love, I love
Bring it all to me 'cause I love
Spring makes me wanna dance
On your grave
With flowers in my hands
Irony of fate
Pass rotten golden gates
And happy people just don't care
Irony of fate has got me
Hit me
Stroke me
Thrill me now
Why don't you fall on your knees
And turn to ashes
I'm scared
Does anybody care
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Instead of raising your hands
Our own love affair
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Instead of raising your hands
Spring makes me wanna dance
On your grave
With flowers in my hands
Irony of fate
Pass rotten golden gates
And happy people just don't care
You're not afraid
Of your daddy's cancer
Make your razorblade a dancer
Just slide between my veins
For an answer
I'm scared
Does anybody care
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Instead of raising your hands
Our own love affair
And we could masturbate on
Public places no one cares
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?
Stop the madness
In our own love affair
Stop the madness
I'm scared
Does anybody care?
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Instead of raising your hands
Our own love affair
And we could masturbate on
Public places no one cares
Is anybody there?
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Instead of raising your hands
Our own love affair
And you will keep your
Fucked up mouths shut
Can you hear them
Laugh
They're talking
To themselves
[Intro:]
Courage
[Verse:]
I was hurt, for so long
Doesn't matter who was right
Doesn't matter who was wrong
All that matters is I'm bacl where I belong
Got back up, cause I was down

In the wrong affair
But then I opened up my eyes and I realised, yeah

[Verse 2:]
For the rest, of my life
All this good I gotta use
Ain't nothing more to lose
I feel better, now I'm back where I belong
(Back where I belong)
Not a thing, 'bout my love
There's a price you've got to pay
Can't control the way
It get's higher, higher, higher, everyday

Every little
Every little
The first time I met you, you were so quiet and cool you
Never thought that you would catch my heart the way you did
All of the sadness in passing, making me feel like I'm past it
But you really end in the sweetest way
Oh, I'm so enamored by you, all in my music are you
Duly keeps me serving on the hope that we can be together are you
I hope you listen to this, I hope you get to feel this
'Cause everything is you, come on
Come close to me, only your love can do me
Every little thing I do you are
Baby you know you're special, I don't care what the rest do
Every little thing I do you are
If love had a face then it's you, made for me how did you know
The best type of love and who must have led you to hurt me
If there's anything I can do, let me know I'll be a fool
But don't take advantage 'cause I will hate to have to leave you
Your touch makes me feel like a woman, takes me beyond feeling human
When you touch me, ooh, the smell of you drives me crazy
When we're alone it's beautiful, makes me not want to leave you, no
Everything is you
Come close to me, only your love can do me
Every little thing I do you are
Baby you know you're special, I don't care what the rest do
Every little thing I do you are
Come close to me, only your love can do me
Every little thing I do you are
Baby you know you're special, I don't care what the rest do
Every little thing I do you are
Oh, when you're lying next to me, I can't believe you're next to me
It's only us in this moment, no interruptions we focus
Tell you I'm glad I risked it, God knows that I would have missed it
You're so amazing baby everything you do
Come close to me, only your love
Everything little thing I do you are
Baby you know you're special, I don't care about the rest
Everything little thing I do you are
Baby you are, baby you are

Baby, everything little thing I do you are

[Chorus]

And if a bwouy don't know what he's dealing with
You need to move that out the way
They got so much things to say right now

And if a gyal don't know what's she's working with

[Chorus]

Chatting all the crap about he really love you
Listen
Out. The. Way.
Push him back
If you foolish trying to get your day
Knowing that you work damn hard all day
She got plenty of cash in L.A.
I grew up in the 1980's
In a 4-bedroom house
My family, my Grandma,
3 or 4 Aunties
Uncles and Brothers
In and out of prison daily
At certain times when there was no heat
We stay under covers
There was life like u never seen
Grandma taking extra people in
Come dinner time It was tippin' 18
Boil a big pot of water on the stove to take a bath
Rub my face with Olive Oil
All my mates used to laugh
All my Cousin's moved out
We all got divided
As i started to get older I seen God providing
I've seen £50 last 3 months solid
I got my first pair of nikes we were still eating porridge
Me and my cousin used to play Mel & Kim
Practising dancin'
Coming down the stairs and ting
I touched Africa and came back darker
Knowing myself
Feeling my roots a little bit harder
1980 year that God made me
89 i started to get by
99 i started to write rhymes
walk with me reminice my life
So then we moved up
I thought I was the Fresh Prince
Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded
With 3 beds this time and 6 kids
we got a doggy that dog loved to shit
My brother got his first pair of LA Gears
He thought they were to take pictures of instead of wear
I started hanging out and my jeans got tighter
My weird neighbours set their own house on fire
Church was All day every day and every week
That's where i learned how to sing
Hearing that pastor Preach
Benediction was all we went for
So we could run home and play connect 4
Mum worked late and we learnt to cook
Rice peas chicken and stew pea soup
In the room watching Kung-Fu films
And Cleopatra joans
Wishing we were cosby kids and the match stick girls.
The man downstairs was dead for 3 weeks
His own cat started eating him
The house starts to wreak
That's when we moved out
And our house was bigger
We had a large garage and the attic was killer
We used to pray for 3 hours in the mornin'
Sitting on the school bus
Believe we was yawning
All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads
Jam curls, splits, dorags and pin curls yes
Sexy boys walking round showing interest
In what i don't know coz we all had flat chests
Don't think we never mastered the Kid n Play steps
Doowop for days in the bogle yep
But this is just the beginning of my life right,
9 kids a house and one life time
Yo, the beginning of my life right
What makes my day slow down
Watching the rain and now I'm not on time
I'm bout to lay down and cry
Boss on the other line
Had a fight with my man, cause he
Swears I'm lying to him constantly
Causing drama like you won't believe
Just one day, I wanna wake up and say
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
It's not that I never cared
But my position here is just alright
And then they tell me I lost my job
But I won't give up
This just hasn't been my day at all
But I'm about to get this manicure
As my back is up against the wall
I pray one day that I can wake up and say
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
And if you feel how I feel
You know what to do
La da da la da la da
Singing la da da la da la da
Singing la da da la da la da
Just one day
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
Sometimes I wonder do you
Even recognize the woman
That's standing in front of you
Listen, sometimes I wonder do you
Even care or realize why I took care of you
'Cuz you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I cannot be whole baby
So far apart
I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby
These tears I cry sure won't be the last
They will not be the last .. no
'Cuz this pain inside never seems to pass
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
For making me a woman
Sometimes I wonder could she be
More of a woman to you than you are a man to me
Listen, sometime I wonder .. why me
I'm here miserable while you're out living your fantasies
And didn't care
'Cuz you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I cannot be whole baby
So far apart
I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby
These tears I cry sure won't be the last
They will not be the last .. no
Cuz' this pain inside which never seems to pass
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
For making me a woman
One thing I learned in life
We all gotta be ready to sacrifice to survive
I hope she's happy
'Cuz you're the chapter that I'll be closing
Hope you're happy
'Cuz once my door close it won't be open
These tears I cry sure won't be the last
They will not be the last .. no
This pain inside which never seems to pass
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.
What are you afraid of?
We've been playing games love
Together we crazy, good I mean baby, so why you gotta change up?
Baby when we make love, in ways I never made love
Feels so real, but something still is missing from the picture
Everywhere I go, people wanna know. wonder where I been, what's the deal with him
Is y'all really cool, is he just a friend
Now I'm asking you, tell me what it is
Look me in my eye, you don't have to lie
Must think I'm a fool, f**king round with you
Need to give me proof I need to hear the truth
I just got one question for you
Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.
Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.
I think you see me as your play thing
Your Friday to Sunday thing
I'm not your weekend love, your secret f**k, brother I'm not playing
And if I wanted to be part time, I'd be working at the check-out line
At the liquor store, the picture show, let me give you piece of my mind
Why don't you put your arms around me huh?
Acting different when your friends around
See nah, when we together we fire and no I never tell my friends your a friend
You're my guy we're together uh huh
Calling my phone about we needed a break
How we gonna break up when we ain't willing to date?
You say you want that real woman, when you get her you run
How come I never met the family like your dad and your mum?
And I don't wanna hear it, stop being a bitch
You making me respect you less, I'm really starting to switch
You're saying that and this and your heart broken
Yeah, you sound like shit like you're taking a piss
Somebody wanna see ya chick, ya see the problem with dis is
I'm waiting in vain, I'm waiting for you to change
We ain't kicking it No, we ain't chilling NO, we ain't doing a ting blood
I'm more like a full time thing
See fam you got your own sock drawer, you can call me much more
More then just your friend much, more than before
Don't play me like an extra, I got speaking roles
I am NOT that ho, I am so much more
I wonder why
Don't act like I'm tryna press you
It's just you know
It's obvious, it's all there, like
What you waiting for
(why can't we be more than friends, let's be more than friends)
Stop pretending
(let's be more than friends, let's be more than friends)
You know we more than friends, you know it's me and you
C'mon, yeah, sing
Well, well, well, Miss Estelle
Do you do the kiss and tell?
Have you come here to offer us a ride?
On your bicycle
I will ride right up the hill
I will ride until the sun does rise
Miss Estelle
You dress so well
There is more to you I can tell you
There is more to you than there more is to me
Because I'm simple and I am slow
And no matter where I go
I will always come back falling at your feet
Well well well well
Well well well
Miss Estelle
When you talk you do tell me
Every little thing inside of your head
But it happens all the time
At night when you should be mine
You are sleeping on the other side of the bed
In the morning when I wake
It will by my heart you'll take
Write it on up
And on the out of tune Piano
I wonder how your day goes
I wonder did you get out all your ya-ya-ya's
Well well well well
Well well well well
You are floating air
I can see your hand over
And I'll bring my friend
Well well well
Miss Estelle
Have you done the kiss and tell?
Have you come here to offer your goodbyes? (Goodbye)
Your are Silent and you are still (so still)
Let's separate the pills
You crashed your heart right into mine
Into mine
You crashed your heart into mine
Into mine
You crashed your heart into mine
Hey Estelle (into mine)
I wanna see you everyday
Every night and day
I wanna walk with you in the sun
Are you ready?
It's your girl Estelle
This album's for my people
Gonna be a struggle
But ya know what
Fuck it
We're gonna have fun tonight
You feel me?
Oh this is my song

While my lights on
I'm a shine

While my lights on
When the lights go down
What you know about me?
What you know
Is what I choose to let you see
But I'm from London
Call me the Big Ben
I grew up in west
Specifically West Kendall
Now let me slow it down
A little bit so you can feel me
Cause where I'm from there
Wasn't xxxx to do
No not really

That it would happen
This London chick start rappin
Now American boys are chattin
All about me with my wicked accent
And yes I stays on my grind

Ya don't know

9 kids in the yard
It was kinda crazy
Still
No kids thus far myself
I'm scared of the pain
I might not do well as a mom
Still the work gets done
Yes I worry bout bills
But a change gonna come
I wanna play rapper
Rock the bells
But I only gotta stack
For the little estelza
You don't wanna know
Bout them days that go
I got pain overload
You don't wanna know
About the things I know
I just can't take no more
Most of the time
Though I gotta stay on
I gotta stay real
I gotta stay strong
You know I'm heavy
Cause I roll with gem
So I'm gonna be fresh
When the lights come on
Come on
Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'm a shine
While my lights on

While my lights on
I'm a shine

While my lights on
Everybodys watching tonight
It's my time
While the lights on
Everything I wanted is mine
Imam shine
Oh this is my song

Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over

Life is like a big miracle round
You're up and then down,
Going in circles tryina to get to where you are
Everybody's been cutting you out
Where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
I'd rather stand tall
Then live of them piece
'Cause I'm a conqueror
And I only self defeat
Tryina telling me more,
Forget about me
'Cause I'm a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know whether? religion
Not everyone's long in believing
Even though they're wrong, you prove them right
I'd rather stand tall
Then live of them piece
'Cause I'm a conqueror
And I only self defeat
Tryina telling me more,
Forget about me
'Cause I'm a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
I am a conqueror!
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face,
Don't ever give up!
I'd rather stand tall
Then live of them piece
'Cause I'm a conqueror
And I only self defeat
Tryina telling me more,
Forget about me
'Cause I'm a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
I am a conqueror
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face,
But I am a conqueror!
We don't call them our fuck friends no more
We don't call them our buddies
Our boos, our brethrens
Our friends with benefits
They're the cup of tea
Listen
It's a shitty day, I'm kinda blue
I need a drink, I think of you
When I'm on the phone, I want you to call
Over to here, that's what I mean
Can't resolve, this could take a while
Your fire's low, I'm feeling hot
My aura great, I'm your apple slice
Where's my herb? I need a cup of you
Baby, oh no
Don't be acting funny
Come on, you know I need it
I'm sugar
You could be the honey
I'm thinking you're just my, just my cup of tea
Oh sugar, oh you're right on the money
I've been thinking you're just my, just my cup of tea
And my baby, hang it in my head
Say it like it's sweat, baby if that's the case
Sugar on my hips, won't you have a taste
Long as I'm ooh'in afterwards spooning
He likes it fast, I like it slow
I like it hot and you like it cold
Baby, when you love
Take it in turns, heating me up
I need a cup of you
Baby, oh no
Don't be acting funny
Come on, you know I need it
I'm sugar
You could be the honey
I'm thinking you're just my, just my cup of tea
Oh sugar, oh you're right on the money
I've been thinking you're just my, just my cup of tea
Oh baby
You could be, you could be
Tell you I want my sugar
I need my honey
You could be just my, just a my cup
Sugar, you could be the honey
Don't you know you're just my perfect cup of tea?
Sugar, you're right on the money
I'm thinking you're just my perfect cup, cup
Sugar, honey
Sugar, you're right on the money
I grew up in the 1980's
In a 4-bedroom house
My family, my Grandma,
3 or 4 Aunties
Uncles and Brothers
In and out of prison daily
At certain times when there was no heat
We stay under covers
There was life like u never seen
Grandma taking extra people in
Come dinner time It was tippin' 18
Boil a big pot of water on the stove to take a bath
Rub my face with Olive Oil
All my mates used to laugh
All my Cousin's moved out
We all got divided
As i started to get older I seen God providing
I've seen £50 last 3 months solid
I got my first pair of nikes we were still eating porridge
Me and my cousin used to play Mel & Kim
Practising dancin'
Coming down the stairs and ting
I touched Africa and came back darker
Knowing myself
Feeling my roots a little bit harder
1980 year that God made me
89 i started to get by
99 i started to write rhymes
walk with me reminice my life
So then we moved up
I thought I was the Fresh Prince
Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded
With 3 beds this time and 6 kids
we got a doggy that dog loved to shit
My brother got his first pair of LA Gears
He thought they were to take pictures of instead of wear
I started hanging out and my jeans got tighter
My weird neighbours set their own house on fire
Church was All day every day and every week
That's where i learned how to sing
Hearing that pastor Preach
Benediction was all we went for
So we could run home and play connect 4
Mum worked late and we learnt to cook
Rice peas chicken and stew pea soup
In the room watching Kung-Fu films
And Cleopatra joans
Wishing we were cosby kids and the match stick girls.
The man downstairs was dead for 3 weeks
His own cat started eating him
The house starts to wreak
That's when we moved out
And our house was bigger
We had a large garage and the attic was killer
We used to pray for 3 hours in the mornin'
Sitting on the school bus
Believe we was yawning
All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads
Jam curls, splits, dorags and pin curls yes
Sexy boys walking round showing interest
In what i don't know coz we all had flat chests
Don't think we never mastered the Kid n Play steps
Doowop for days in the bogle yep
But this is just the beginning of my life right,
9 kids a house and one life time
Yo, the beginning of my life right
9 kids a house in one life time
I was painting a still life this morning
Of a throat lozenge sitting on a copy of Tropic of Cancer
The only thing weird about it is that a year ago
I never thought I'd paint anything again
I decided I wasn't ever gonna paint again
It didn't bother me too much, Warhol's dead
David Hockney's still alive, I don't need to paint
I painted over ten thousand paintings
Sad ones, funny ones, dark ones and light ones
I've done haystacks and rich old ladies by their pools
Wearing nothing but a scarf
I've painted everything there was to paint
Now it was time to sit back, give interviews
Get on the internet, hang out at club med
Take stock of what I've done
You know, the best friend I ever had was a dog
It sounds like a cliche unless it's happened to you
Some days that dog was the only reason I even got out of bed
That dog went everywhere with me and then I heard the crack addicts
Were stealin' dogs and selling them for animal research
It sounded like an urban myth to me like the mouse in the Coke bottle
But I started leavin' her at home after that
You know, Paula was my wife for a while
She ran off to Paris with the great grandson of Van Gogh
A cartoonist who did fashion graphics for Le Monde
When Paula left she took my dog, I never saw her again
Except in the court during the custody battle
She won and got to keep the dog
And I didn't speak to anyone for months
You know sometimes it feels
Like there's so much that you need
Sometimes the world is upside down
Sometimes it seems like the only thing you need
Is holdin' someone's hand as you walk through town
I started hanging around with Dino
He used to run a poker game back east
Now he has a little coffee shop, sells cappuccino to his old pals
Tommy, Chicago and Jimmy the Wig and Ugly Rose
You know the best person I ever knew
Was a Mormon woman named Estelle
She still calls me drunk every few months
And asks me stuff I don't want to talk about
You can't talk to her long unless you're drunk yourself
Then we go all night
Yeah she goes, "Why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Have you turned your back on love?
You had so many chances
Why have you let 'em all go by?"
Well, one morning I was sitting out in front of Dino's place
With Jake the Shears, a guy from Philly who gives free mohawks
There were a couple of young painters, I was hopin' to come by
So I could give 'em some advice
Yeah, I was sittin' there updating my list of enemies
When this girl walks in and the universe kind of stops
Turned out she drank the same tea as me
Don't take more than that to start a conversation sometimes
She believed collage was the greatest of all the arts
And was busy pasting pictures of horses, next to ads for laundry soap
Next to Mohammed Ali, she had a turquoise in her ear
And said Rachmaninoff was always in her head
But later that day I was trying to describe her to Jimmy the Wig
I couldn't find any words and I realized I'd started to sketch her chin
Somehow it didn't look right, I scratched it out and tried it again
I filled an entire pad, I threw it away, I never even came close
For a six days I sat at Dino's place
The rain wouldn't quit and no one came in
Finally on the seventh day it cleared and in she walked
I asked her to sit with me and I bought her a cup of tea
And I asked her to model for me sometime
That afternoon I was at a canvas
She was wearing a yellow dress
I swore if she let me, I'd get it right
I've painted over ten thousand paintings
Sad ones, funny ones, dark ones, and light ones
But sitting there, it was like I couldn't even write my own name
I apologized and said, "It's been a few months
If you have patience, I'll get the hang of it again"
In the next few weeks, I painted her hundreds of times
If I get the nose right, the chin's too long
If I get 'em both right, the face is too thin
But I keep after it and one day I, I'll get it all right
I painted a still life this morning, of a throat lozenge
Sitting on a copy of Tropic of Cancer
The only thing was funny is that
I never thought I'd paint anything again
I think I might go visit Estelle
Those Utah mountains are good for the soul
I'll bring my brushes and some Jack Daniels
And we can make up for lost time
And she said, "Why baby, why baby, why baby why?
Baby why have you turned your back on love
You had so many chances
Why have you let 'em all go by?"
And she says, "Why baby, why baby, why baby why?
Baby why have you turned your back on love
You had so many chances
Why have you let 'em all go by?"
Sometimes it seems like there's so much that you need
Sometimes the world is upside down
Sometimes it seems like the only thing you need
(Intro)
Fair by life
True story
Estelle wussup?
So you wanna leave?
Sound like you’ve been through a couple problems
(Verse)
Roses are red, the Rolls Royce is white
I bought you flawless diamonds, never know more as tonight
Have you up the wall climbing
Leave all moist tonight
But it’s fuck my days if I can’t go to sleep with your voice at night
She was tired of playin, she was tired of staying
But being said with the same shit that she was tired of saying
My relationship is just like a movie and she rewindin
We would argue, she was screamin out
Hoes fucked up, how she was blinded
Love verse the hustle, my first love was hustle
I’m a hustler, ex dope boy, I’m still passin checks
No past regrets, I salute the roof and I pass the jets
Tell the truth I can lose my mind if you don’t stay
That’s the last regret
(Verse)
He’s got me on lay away
Chillin in the back
Used to me and standing tall
I got it just like that
I don’t know how to deal with him
He’s fuckin with my mind
He’s messin with my energy
Boy you out of line
(Chorus)
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna play anymore
This is not a game, I don’t wanna stay anymore
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna play anymore
This is not a game, I don’t wanna stay
‘Cause we keep getting closer at night
All up in the blaze
And this heat is what I’m used to so I’m caught in the way
(Verse)
He’s gotta be thinkin what am I (what are you?)
Questioning myself (don’t question yourself)
Maybe I ain’t good enough (you’re the best for me)
But maybe I am (you are)
Or maybe I’m for real boy
He’s fuckin with my mind (now I’m fuckin wit yo mind)
He’s fuckin with my energy
Boy you out of line
(Chorus)
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna play anymore
This is not a game, I don’t wanna stay anymore
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna play anymore
This is not a game, I don’t wanna stay
‘Cause we keep getting closer at night
All up in the blaze
And this heat is what I’m used to so I’m caught in the way
(Verse)
My bad for the inconvenience
Pull up right by with an intervene
So called girls that I was seeing
All alone is on the industry shit
For the passions that been past tense I’ve been actin up
Them memories is why you packin up
I’m tryn to see if we can patch it up
‘cus it’s so many hoes that I love to feel
If you go know your love is here
Miss that ass, you know what love is still
Your sex drive, you know I love to stare
Last day when she fell back she felt true even, tryna get even
Got close, tried to fall back
You done thought the bitch has switched seasons
(Outro)
Damn, cold bitch, freezing
Chilling, I’m gonna call you bitch but you know
Estelle
What makes my day slow down
Watching the rain and now I'm not on time
I'm bout to lay down and cry
Boss on the other line
Had a fight with my man, cause he
Swears I'm lying to him constantly
Causing drama like you won't believe
Just one day, I wanna wake up and say
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
It's not that I never cared
But my position here is just alright
And then they tell me I lost my job
But I won't give up
This just hasn't been my day at all
But I'm about to get this manicure
As my back is up against the wall
I pray one day that I can wake up and say
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
And if you feel how I feel
You know what to do
La da da la da la da
Singing la da da la da la da
Singing la da da la da la da
Just one day
[Chorus]
Hey! I'm winning today
My smile is OK at the end of the line
And I'm fine, no thorns in my side
Somebody remind me, it's a wonderful life
La da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
Sing la da da la da
It's a wonderful life
