Yeah, a lot a mysteries, a lot a histories
Too much blowin' up and showin' up, and not enough growin' up I mean it happens, people change, yeah A brother changes everyday but ah, most of all we changed Sometimes makin' up is easier than breakin' up We believe if we just fake it enough We can trick ourselves into believing That we're still in love But in our hearts we know that it's inevitable Though it's hard to let you go I know I must Sometimes memories just ain't enough Sometimes you out grow the ones you love Sometimes it's none of the above It's just a fact that people change No one's to blame There ain't nothing that stays the same So we sit around an cry because neither one of us Wants to be the first to say goodbye Sometimes giving second chances is easier than dealing with the fact That once the trust is gone you can never get it back But you're holding on because you're afraid of being alone So here you are holding on to something that's already gone And don't act like it's the first time you've heard it in this song 'Cause your heart done told you all along If your momma done showed you right from wrong Nothing should hold you down this long There's no one to blame Nothing stays the same So we sit around an cry because neither one of us Wants to be the first to say goodbye, bye, my love, oh So let me be first to say goodbye |

La la la la la la la la la
We gon' put some people back together today, ha La la la la la la la la la Somebody gon' thank me after this song, man La la la la la la la Matter of fact, I'm a thank me right now La la la la la la la, oh Girl, I apologize I'm to blame And I can't sympathize with your pain If I could I'd make it go away But I can't So I concentrate on more realistic things Like questioning Is there anything here worth salvaging? [Bridge] Is it over? How do we go about deciding? Do we add up all the good times then divide them By how many times we hurt each other Or do we just ignore the numbers and vow right now to never ever take asunder? [Chorus] Let's stay together Can we agree to just disagree? Let's stay together Don't do it for the kids, do it for me Let's stay together I'm tired of all this making up and breaking up Let's stay together (together) Let's stay together, yeah Girl, I can't justify what I've done Ain't got no reasons why, not even one I pray to God what seems like every morning for the sun To shine on us just one more time And let me hold you in my arms, and we'd just cry [Bridge] [Chorus] (Aight' you wanna make me say it, you wanna make me say it) See, if you leave (I would not die physically) But emotionally (Might as well bury me) For I can't be the man I should have been Before all of this happened But if we hold on (And ask God for direction) Where we went wrong (We can make the correction if we) Just stay strong All of our up and downs Fully come around And there will be nothing that can shake us Nothing that can break us We will stay together [Chorus] (Put your hands together, man) This is where it all comes to a head at Are all these years worth nothing? Is it over? You don't wanna be with him He don't wanna be with you Hell, you done made some mistakes too He done made some mistakes You done made some mistakes before, man Work it out, man And you dudes out there Anybody can be slick at talking Anybody can be slick at talking, man Try to be slick at listening, man Your work is at home It ain't in the streets, it's at home So get there, get there And stay there |

Lord it's a constant struggle, down here
Especially when all you know how to do is hustle, down here Lord it's a miracle I'm still breathing, down here Lord it's a battlefield, down here Lord it's easy to get killed, down here So I keep my family near me, down here and keep my bullet proof vest on Thank you lord for making teflon, down here Cause the ghetto has a way of manipulating the children Trickin them into believing that life has no meaning, down here...down here Lord if you see my grandmother, up there Tell her I know she's disappointed in me she hates to see me in and out of jail Well tell her life ain't as heavenly here as it is, up there I know it's probably lovely, up there but tell her I ain't in no rush to get, up there So I keep my pistols off safety at home cause I gotta protect and feed these babies Lately it's been hell keepin my black ass from comin, up there So I'm thankful everyday and pray my enemies don't roll down on me and send me kickin and screamin, up there up there, oooh To my people tryna make it, down here To my people who done made it, up there To my people tryna make it to, up there ...from down here |

(Street life killed my daddy
Got my mama pregnant in the back of a Caddy Since I lost my first tooth I ain't been happy Young wild nigga child why that boy is so nappy He got that devil in 'im Police wanna take him down Used to be a player but the coochie cost money now He ain't too bright but he know a trap when he sees one Got his conscious in his pants with his gun CHORUS: Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though Shoe box full of pictures All that's left of good times I shared with my niggas Some alive and some no longer with us How da, how da, how da hell do you pray for forgiveness When you got devil in you Rogaine keeps the hair strong, but cocaine keeps the cable on I can't wait till my nigga JB come home Why do all the real niggas stay gone so long CHORUS: Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though Even though a nigga still in the hood Gettin' drunk and smoking on wood I'ma make it up otta this street life On the corner is where I stood Out there all by myself cause a player gotta get this mil Wearin' fur ain't doin' us no good Flippin' burgers ain't gonna make you filled But I'm still ten toes in this hustlin' tryna make it hood rich And I still ain't trustin' no bitch cause them motherf**kers always snitch It's hard in this ghetto man fifteen years old with coke and caine Cheese don't come, I'ma go insane snatch me a purse, snatch me a chain Out here on the block with the fiends and the moon Squeeze on the glock tryna pop at a goon He done stole my dough, he took my food Project wasn't born with a silver spoon In mouth, in my grill wear six chains then niggas get killed One in the grave, the other in jail Nobody wins, that's fo' real Back way when I was a runny nose Runnin' round up and down the town Carrying a black glock and a gold frown I kept that product on me It wasn't no problem homie You said it, I had it, and met you if you stole my money Just tryna buy bologna but now I'm buying lobster Still totin' a glock, but pushing a Rolls Royce and winning Oscars CHORUS: Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though Seventeen years of rain foggin' up my windows It done been seventeen years of pain But I'm still here though) |

Lovely as summertime
Always been a friend of mine Slicker than banana peels Cooler than three pair of high heels You'll always be the highlight of my life Loved you like I love my fellas on the block More valuable than Coca-Cola stock,whoa If I had my way, this love will never stop You're the only one that matters Since i lost my pops Girl you are... Chorus... More than a girl More than a friend Someone i can depend on 'Til the end Most folks talk about me 'cause They dont see what we see Its the difference between hating and loving me Wonderful like a newborn baby's smile Amazing like being baptized in the Nile Put me in and press rewind Do that to me one more time You will always be the highlight of my life More alive than Biggie and Pac Stronger than a pair of granddaddy's old socks If i had my way, this love will never stop Don't ever worry about me leaving 'cause i'm satisfied with what I've got Chorus More than a girl, More than a girl, More than a girl, you are my friend Do that again, Do that again, Do that again, girl dont stop yet Just wanna touch you, To thank you, To love you, for what you've given You will always be my girl And i will always be your man |

Verse 1
See im jealous of your clothes cause they touch you more than I do It kills me sometimes to know That your toes spend so much time with your shoes And no I dont approve of your lipstick Maybelline aint tricking me and I see How eager your panties be to get put on So when you're gone I tease the ones you did not choose I dont know about you but CHORUS I'm stingy Don't want anything to touch you there I dont wanna share you with nothing Not even the air you breathe Hook you lungs up to me Stingy Don't want nothing to touch you baby Verse 2 And I often cuss out your bath water For every moment you're gone I almost lost my cool when I heard you bought that thong Victoria Secret can't keep a secret too long I know what they want so please don't Be so naiive to what your bra does.When it's groping you Cause they like to taste your nipples too I don't know bout you but CHORUS I'm stingy Let me touch you there I dont wanna share you with nothing Not even the air you breathe Hook you lungs up to me Stingy Let me touch you there See I wash my hands before I touch you So I dont have to share with the germs See my heart is so concerned(so concerned) Oh So many things that I have yet to learn about you baby CHORUS I'm stingy Let me touch you there I dont wanna share you with nothing Not even the air you breathe Hook you lungs up to me Stingy Let me touch you there |

I remember shoot outs over necklaces
little debbie breaksfasts Growing up in the projects, life stinks drinking fifths of hennessy to forget my misery Struggling out here in these streets Barely living in this world and this world is just so hateful Chorus It's just so hateful the kids are so ungrateful and I'm no longer able to disguise my disgust And I know they're saying we should trust the lord will come and help us and maybe i'm just being selfish but I've had enough But when my song comes on the radio i forget all my troubles and for one moment I'm not there at all No matter where in my life I am that's my jam Said when my song comes on the radio I forget all of my troubles and for one moment I'm not there I remember fighting with my babysitter Life without no father figure Searching for my daddy's killer, life stinks Working jobs that I don't like Cussing out God every night For giving me this awful life and it dont stop 'cause this world Chorus Yo I done been in a lot of street fights Got a hood stripes but I aint immune to pain whether you are seventeen, balck, white, gay, straight, or a lesbian we all go through the same thing on one level or another you never had a dad, had a part time mother you had a good girl but you was too gutter mommie got a man now but you still love her some things just fall apart like some words break your heart even if you dont admit it sometimes i the back of your mind you really want to fall down and cry and never get up but you gotta get up 'cause you gotta pay bills even though you feel like a loser but you aint a loser you God's child and cant nothing move ya but when my song comes on the radio i forget all of my troubles for one moment i'm not there at all no matter where in my life i am thats my jam, thats my jam when my song comes on the radio i forget all of my troubles and for one moment i'm not there at all no matter where in my life i am thats my jam |

Yeah.
This song was such a hilarious song that I felt it was necessary that I bring it back. And I just kind of like, came along with the song. He He. This ya boy Lyfe Jennings or rather yo, ya ya ya boy Tu Pac. Check it out. Some say the darker the berry the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots. Holla for my sistas on welfare, Lyfe cares if don't nobody else care. (Don't nobody else care) I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women? Do we hate our women? I think it's time we kill for our women. Time to heal our women. Be real to our women. Or we would have a race of babies that would hate the ladies, that made the babies. Would the real men get up. Ladies, I know you fed up but you got ta Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier Oh hold on to faith babe Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier All you gotta do is believe I remember Marvin Gaye use to sing to me. Had me feeling like black was the thing to be. Suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough Though we had it rough Always had enough (Always had enough) Realize my momma really paid the price and nearly gave her life to raise me right yeah And though you was a crack fein mama You always was a black queen mama Ooo child of mine So all the ladies havin babies on their own (Havin babies on ya own) I know it's kind of rough (I know it's rough) and you feelin alone, (I know you feeling on ya own) but better day are comin Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier Oh hold on to faith babe Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier All you gotta do is believe This for all my TuPac Fans All my TuPac (Kids) When he tell you, you ain't nottin don't believe him And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him Cause sista you don't need him And I ain't tryna gas you up, I just call it like I see it. You know what makes me unhappy (Lyfe) What's that? (Kids) When brothas make babies and leave the young motha to be a pappy. And since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from our women. I know that gets you down a lot when you come around the block, brotha clown a lot But please don't cry, dries ya eyes Never let up Forgive and don't forget and girl Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier Oh hold on to faith babe Keep your head up Ooo child, things are goin get easier All you gotta do is believe (Boy) Keeeeeep your head heeeaaaaad upppp Keeeeep ya heeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaad up Ooooo (Lyfe) Keep ya head up Keep ya head up (Boy) Keep your head up (Lyfe) Keep ya head up Keep ya head up (Boy) This all I got to say Is keep your head up |
