This is your life
Live it your own way (Repeat) I lived part of my life Being scared of my dreams Everytime someone asks What I'm shooting for in life I would hide my true feelings And when I spoke up to my friends They made fun of my dreams So shen times got too rough I would think back on one thing My momma would say to me This is your life You got to live it your own way (Repeat) Forces of evil struck back and forth Throughout my younger days Because I would listen And care what other people would say Like a four letter word I ignored that whole world And built my own tiny world with respect But it took time to relate What my momma would say time after time again, she said This is your life You got to live it your own way(Repeat) This is your life You've got to live it your own way (Repeat) |

I remember how it used to be you never were this nice
You can't fool me Now you talkin' Like you made a change The more you talk The more things sound the same What makes you think You can just walk back Into her life Without a good fight I just sit back And watch you make a fool of yourself You're just wasting your time Repeat chorus eight times:no, you're never gonna get it, never ever gonna get it, my lovin' Now you promise me The moon and the stars Save your breath You won't get very far Gave you many chances To make changes The only thing you changed Was love to hate It doesn't matter what you do Or what you say She doesn't love you, no way Maybe next time You'll give your woman a little respect Then you won't be hearing her say that- Repeat chorus two times Doesn't matter what you do Or what you say She doesn't love you, no way Maybe next time You'll give your woman a little respect Then you won't be hearing her say that- Chorus |

Hip hop, do it 'til you drop
Don't stop - don't you ever stop This is it and you know I'm comin' free style To the club to see En Vogue I'll run a country mile Dope hat combat boots I'm comin' Cutie pies Yo I know En Vogue will love me 'Cause I'm too fly I'll do my jerkin' dance make 'em Stare yo give a laugh Ask to dance they look me over And say oh no we'll pass But that's ok I'll just dance And do my own thang But when the night is over They'll remember Wayne Wayne chorus Me and my girlfriends broke down to the club The minute we stepped in We were being asked to the dance floor Before I got his name He was hittin' on me strong But I knew from the conversation He was a little bit too young chorus Brown leather combat sales tag on his hat He wore his clothes inside-out (yo mental tip - oh) He had a funky step and I thought he was so cute But as far as hooking up with him He had to come harder than that, yeah chorus When the set was over We headed out to the car He politely asked to walk me out He's playng good so far The minute I blinked my eyes He snuck in a little kiss So I swung out quick to smack him one But I'm glad I missed chorus The beat may drop but not like all the others chorus chorus: Hip hop do it 'til you drop Don't stop don't you ever stop (Do it to me baby) Hip hop do it 'til you drop Don't stop don't you ever stop |

I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes
That doesn't make me a prostitute I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs I might date another race or color Doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers Free your mind and the rest will follow (Why oh why must it be this way) Be color blind don't be so shallow (Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me) So I'm a sista Buy things with cash That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad So why dispute me and waste my time Because you think that the price is too high for me I can't look without being watched You rang my buy before I made up my mind Oh now attitude why even bother I can't change your mind, you can't change my color Free your mind and the rest will follow (Why oh why must it be this way) Be color blind, don't be so shallow (Before you can read me, you gotta learn to see me |

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care Love don't love you, love don't care Verse 1: You said you'd always be there You said you'd always care You always comfort me You used to share things with me You used to have time for me Now it all seemed to end I can't control my fears Neither hold back tears Knowing that something's wrong, yeah The more that I fight with you The more I realize It takes more than love To satisfy my life Chorus: Love don't love you, love don't care (it's got to be you, baby) Love don't love you, love don't care (not love, baby) Verse 2: I thought I never would see The day that you and me Could not communicate It came to my surprise The only reason why We misused the four-letter words I should have known the signs Instead I was blind Ignoring what people would say When will I ever learn Can't blame it all on one word Some words can seem more brutal than kind Chorus: Love don't love you, love don't care (love don't love you) Love don't love you, love don't care (got to be you) Love don't love you (love don't care about you, no way, no way, no way) Love don't care No way Bridge: You see it takes a fool to learn That love don't love nobody (got to be you) But I've learned That love don't love me And it sure can't love you (can only be you, oh) So what are you gonna do Don't just say you love me (baby) You got to show me (show me that you care) So where do we go from here You tell me You got to show me that you love me show me that you care I need to know that you will always be there I'm gonna be there for you Love don't love no one And it sure don't care Love don't love nobody You should take my advice Show me that you love me Show me that you care, baby Chorus: Love don't love you, love don't care Love don't love you, love don't care (repeat chorus) |

There's a question with so many answers
No one knows them all No high powered scholar High paided by the hour Could come up with the answers To this complex question What is love I wanna know, I just gotta know How is that we can make mass destruction With one single bomb But can't find a solution To one simple problem That has troubled us all What is love I wanna know, I just gotta know Why is it that We can make smart computers That think for themselves But can't make a computer To match lonely people With one thing in common To fall in love with each other what is love I wanna know, I just gotta know Maybe one day they'll Make up a word that sums up love That won't be so complex And fits with the rest But for now we are stuck With this word and no luck What is love I wanna know, I just gotta know |
