Uhhh uhh
When i wake up in the morning love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without wanting love
..as heavy on my mind.

Chorus:
When i look at you and the world looks alright
When you just one look at you
And i know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).

When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems imposible to fade, to fade
When someone else instead of me
They always seem to know the way

Chorus:
That i look at you and the world all right with me
Just one look at you and i know it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
It's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
A lovely day baby (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day).
Uhh , lovely name, uhh baby when i walk down the street
When i walk down the street baby you got me feelin on ..
Shine and shine and shine and shine
Everybody that i see
Girl you look..and that's alright .. baby you got me, you got me
Feelin' baby, you got me feelin happy baby.

Lyrics from Jill Scott?s rap in Golden Days, by Kem
What exactly, my dear, are you clinging to? Some propaganda stating you?re going as far as you?re going to? That your skjes are finite and limited? That your growth is an impossible dream, that your future is inhibited. Oh please!! They have been shoveling them lies since the 50s? can?t nobody decide what your life can move through!!! This is YOUR time and YOUR challenge. What is it that YOU want to do? Sit and be still and not shine the way your life was meant to????
Oh, I pray that ain?t true!!!! I pray that ain?t true!!!!
Oh please, don?t fall in the abyss because something negative once ruled you. Please! Understand I?m from where you are and I?ve got to fight my demons too. Please! Don?t give up because somebody broke your heart or some things fell through.
This is LIFE. You owe it. Life does not owe you.

An obstacle is a thing that impedes or blocks one?s way. You can climb over?you can dig under?you can chip through it? you can go around it?you can move it?. you can ignore it!
But you CAN do it! YOU CAN DO IT!

[Verse:]
You're that kind

Whoa whoa whoa uh uh uh...uh

That makes me pull single dollars

You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow

And oh
How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you
Lie to me repeatedly
And oh
How do I have faith, in you
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could

Oh, say can you see (2x)

You say that I'm wrong for
Stating my opinion to you
You say that I'm wrong and there'll be quiet consequences too
But I know my rights babe
There'll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances

And I want to trust you
I want to love yeah
But you lie to me repeatedly
And oh I want to have faith in you
But you just don't come thru
Like you said you could
Oh say can you see
Hmmm

I want fresh fruit, clean water,
Air that I don't see
I want the feeling of being safe on my streets
I want my children to be smarter than me
I want, I want to feel
I want to feel, I want to feel free
For real ya'll
I'm just telling you so you know
I want to, I want to have faith in you
I really do but you keep lying to me
It hurts
I believe, I believe you owe it me
Give it to me like you said you would
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Oohh say can you see
Hmmm
By the dawn's early light

His name was Rasool
Carmel completed boy from the 22
Rough on the outside
But on the inside he was cool
Rasool was a king
But also a fool
Back on the block again with the same crew
Tariq from the west side
Little John form the avenue
Always seen um bout a quarter to two
Shaking hands with everybody
But at the same time sharing the blues
And oh how he passed it on
Shaking hands till what was in his pockets was gone
He'd be outside in the cold with his bubble goose on
But inside
I knew he wasn't warm
Around 10:30 on that dreary night
His bowaz said they were hungry they were hungry
Wanted to get a bite
But they didn't send a runner
Rasool knew it wasn't right
But he stayed anyway to get the chain he liked
And oh how the shots rang in the streets
Hitting everybody in the surrounding vicinity
Children of the children
One young father to be
And Rasool lay dead in my north Philly Street
At fifteen years old
It was the first death I'd seen
But the game ain't designed for no kind of winning
And oh this is a friend of Rasool
Telling you to think about what you do and who you call your crew
The very choices you make
May make a Rasool out of you
Now you don't want that do you?

I can pay my own light bill baby
pump my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you
Sometimes so hard to say
I need you
Some thing remail
I can buy my own groceries baby
Get my hair thight my nails right
I can floss my own bling bling
Write the the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
I can teach him how to walk and stand
but I need you to help him be a man
We need you
Some things don't change
I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman
or police officer or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer
and a mother and a "good gGod what chu
donet to me?" kind of lover I can be
I could be a computer analyst
The queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
or I could be much more and a myraid of this
Hot as the summer
Sweet as the first kiss
And even though Ic an do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
We need you
(and you need us too!)

Woke up this morning
Wit a smile on my face
jumped outta bed
took a shower,
dressed, cleaned up my place
Made some breakfast:
Toast, two srambled eggs, grits
Grabbed my keys,
Grabbed my purse,
Grabbed my jacket off to work
Beaming all the way down third

Is it the way you love me baybay?
2x

4:30
Can't wait to get home
Naw girl go ahead
I got something else to do
Go ahead really
Get your groove on
Cause tonight my man is coming thru
We gon hafto connect some other time
(as much as i like to shake my thang on the dance floor)
I got another nasty, freaky, right in mind
Tonight, I'm gonna beat the high score.

I hope you want me in the same way

[Chorus:]
Every time I close my eyes,all I dream about is
making love
I can't even sleep at night,all I dream about is

me,that keeps my mind going crazy
I can't even think at night,all I dream about is
making love

... to you

I love the shower,out by the kitchen sink
Lay me where you wanna,make my
knees weak

No time for games,no rules just play
Hope you been thinking about the


same thing

It's been nice,but now it's time
To show love what we made of

No time for games,no rules just play
Hope you want me in the same way

This here celibacy thing
Lawd,just got something over me
Like an addict,I could really use a thing
You know what I'm talking about
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

It's been hard to sleep at night
I'm ying ying ying ying it
Scratching it right
I get some new batteries almost every night
Lawd,this here celibacy thing



The stresses of this world
You know how they come down on a girl
I'm trying to clear my mind
But all I seem to find
Is this gangsta,gangsta,type of need

People say mind over matter
But,I don't mind what they say
And it don't matter
This here celibacy thing
Is working on me...

It's a midsummer night hour and I'm thinkin
about cha babe,wanting you
I wish you could catch a jet plane,I know you
would,if only you could
The finances ain't what we'd like,and
sometimes we have to sacrifice
Cuz I know,it's hard over there where you are
Cuz it's raining over here on the inside of my womb...

[Chorus:]

... passion and desire baby...
... innumerable fires honey?...
... I got for you,you know that it's true...
Come see me...

I feel like I've been waiting eternity for you
to touch me
I can see it in my mind's eye,how right
and true,this love we'll make
And ooooh,if you ever believed in anything,
believe this is true
I am your woman baby and you are my man,too

[Chorus]


[Breakdown]
I ain't got no questions in my mind,no feelings
of doubt
I believe I've just been waiting all this time to
find out what loves about
And I'm so excited,and a little scared,thinkin'
I'm gonna get overwhelmed every breath?/

Ooh baby I wanna be overwhelmed,I wanna
be overwhelmed,I wanna be...
I wanna feel...

[Chorus]

I wanna feel...

[Chorus]
...right nowwwwwww

I can hardly stay in my skin
It's hard to breath out and in
All this passion,all this desire...
C'mon,c'mon,come see me right now

Your hands on my hips
Pull me right back to you
I catch that thrust
Give it right back to you
You're in so deep
I'm breathin' for you
You grab my braids
Arch my back high for you
Your diesel engine
I'm squirting mad oil on
Down on the floor
Til my speakers start to boil
I flip shit
Quick slip
Hip dip
And I'm twisted
In your hands and your lips
And your tongue tricks
And you're so thick
And you're so big
And you're so Crown Royal on ice
Crown Royal on ice
Crown Royal on ice
Crown Royal on ice
[REPEAT]

If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter
You'd still be mad at me

If I could find in all this
A dozen roses
Which I would give to you
You'd still be miserable

In reality
I'm gone be who I be
And I don't feel no fault
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gone and do what you do

Hate on me hater
Now or later
Cuz I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby (go head and hate)
Go head and hate on me hater
I'm not afraid of
What I gotta to pay for
You can hate on me

Ooh if I gave you peaches
Out my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me out

Wonder if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that
Or ask why not the moon

If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity
Have all the solutions
For the pain and pollution

No matter where I live
Despite the things I give
You'll always be this way
So go head and hate

Hate on me hater
Either now or later
Cuz I'm gonna do me (I'm gonna do me)
You'll be mad baby (go head and hate)
Go head and hate on me hater
I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me

Hate on me hater
Either now or later
Cuz I'm gonna do me (I'm gonna do me)
You'll be mad baby (go head and hate)
Go head and hate on me hater
I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me

You cannot hate on me
Cuz my mind is free
Fill my destiny
So shall it be

You cannot hate on me
Cuz my mind is free
Fill my destiny
So shall it be

You cannot hate on me
Hate on me hater
Cuz my mind is free
Now or later
Fill my destiny
Cuz I'm gonna do me
So shall it be
You'll be mad baby
You cannot hate on me
Go head and hate on me hater
Cuz my mind is free
I'm not afraid of
Fill my destiny
What I got I paid for
So shall it be
You can hate on me
You cannot hate

[Chorus:]
Tell me how you'd feel
If I was,If I was go'n,
Tell me how you'd feel?
Tell me how you'd feel
If I was,If I was go'n,
Tell me how you'd feel?
What if I was go'n forever?
No more chocolate kisses,
No nappy dugout ever,
No mamma,no daughter,no sister,no
No sister friends
Tell me my brother,
What would become of you then?
What if,poof,every black female in the world
disappeared?
Your man-child left unattended
Lost without no one behind the steering wheel
Tell me,hmm mmm,
C'mon,how would that make you feel
C'mon,c'mon,help a sister say

[Chorus]

Your beautiful brown would be forever go'n
With no more cocoa wombs to carry your
brown on
You right there,would be the last of your kind
Can you feel this song? How does that
affect your mind?
Cause if there was no me,there'd be no you


Ooo can you feel me,is this song coming
through
What if,poof,every
black female
in the world
disappeared?
11
That's the science in it,
but it's so much more intense
Reach into your soul for the answer
Reach wherever you need to,to find it

[Chorus]

[Rap:]
Say you be tripping,
Say you pimping it,
Talking 'bout how you "Da Man"
What you are is something different
By-product of when "Massa"ruled your life
Spreading babies everywhere
Couldn't think,couldn't care
But you can now
You can,you can
C'mon and man up
Damn it,Tell me how you'd feel?
No mamma,no daughter

[Chorus]

[Repeat w/ adlibs until fade:]

It is 4 a.m.
I'm waiting in our bed alone,
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home

But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy

It is 5 a.m.
And I'm waiting by the phone again
This is not how it's 'sposed to be
You're 'sposed to be here with me

But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't even think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When I know you should be right here

It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I am miserable and feeling blue
Cause all I really want is you

But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,


That you miss me

And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy

It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
At work,no one will feel my pain
It's a shame the way this whole thing changed

But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When you know that you should be right here

But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
No,no,no,no
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
This is crazy

Brrring...
Time to wake up,
And put on my strong face
And hope that no one will know

What do I do
If its Hip Hop if its bebop reggaeton of the
metronome
In your car in your dorm nice and warm
whatever form
If Classical Country Mood Rhythm &
Blues Gospel
Whatever it is,Let It Be Let It Be Whatever it is
Whatever it is Let It
If it's deeper soul If It's Rock & Roll Spiritual
Factual Beautiful Political Somethin to Roll To
Let It Be,Whatever it is,Whatever it is Let It Be
Let It Be Whatever it is Let It Be Let It Be,Let It


Why do do do I,I,I,I
Feel trapped inside a box when just don't fit
into it
Maybe I've been scared knowing what's
there,In front of me maybe I been tryin to be
what they needed me to be
When I should of just been me
Why,Why Why Why Why Why
Whatever it is,Let It Be Let It Be Whatever it is
Whatever it is
Whatever it is,Let It Be Let It Be Whatever it is
Whatever it is Let It

[Intro:]
Yo,I'm tripping right,
I heard you got married.
You got married?
No I mean,make any
It don't really make any sense
I mean,It's not like I,I didn't think you were
seeing other people or whatever,Imean
I was seeing other people but
You know what this is,
You know what it was,you tsch
I can't say I really understand though
You chose her cause she's sweet as pie
Take what you give,even your life
But baby,are happy without me?
She scrubs your back,washes your clothes
Gives you everything that ask for
But don't you ever want more?
Cause my love

[Chorus:]

My love is deeper
Tighter
Sweeter
Higher
Flyy-er
Didn't you know this,
Or didn't you notice?
(My love,my love)


My love is deeper
Tighter
Sweeter
Higher
Flyy-er
Didn't you know this,
Or didn't you notice?
Mmmm,what we had don't need no words
Deeper than anything you ever heard
I ain't reaching baby,
I know I should be your lady
You say you're happy
You say you're great
But you know and I know you really ain't
You need to come be with me
That's the way it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

Cause ohh,
All I ever do is think about you baby
I hold you in my arms inside my dreams
And I know what I know and what I know is
That no matter where you go
You will always think of me

[Chorus]

[Repeats with adlibs until the end]

Ain't go'n be no eyes
To make me turn away
Ain't go'n be no kiss
To make me contemplate
Walking out the door
And never coming back no more
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)

Ain't go'n be no cologne
To make me say goodbye
Ain't go'n be no words
To make me change my mind
Throw away all I know
For something physical
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)

[Chorus:]
Only U
Only U
Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door
and never come back no muh muh muh, more
Only U
C-c-c come,come


Ain't go'n be no style
To make me change my smile
(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Ain't go'n be no stroll
To make me lose control

(Ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,ain't go'n,g-g-go'n)
Of my sanity
Oh no,it won't be me.

Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door

And never come back no muh muh
muh,more
Only you can make me leave the key and
lock the door
And never come back no muh muh
muh,more

[Chorus]
[Repeats and echoes until end:]

You gotta do right by me,its mandatory baby
Sweeter than your favorite ice cream be,
bask in my glory baby
Don't play no games,that'll ruin thangs
And make me leave ya,or mistreat ya and you
don't want that
Don't hesitate,I could make you great
Like Cleopatra Jones I could set you straight

[Chorus:]
I'm the real thing,in stereo
I got a little highs,I got a little lows
Follow this,melodic flow
I could make it shine,I could make it glow
[Repeat x2]

I'm more than a toy for your satisfaction
I'm a pay-per-view for the TV screen,
your main attraction
Your phosphorus,I'm your energy
When your lost,and you need some focus
come see me
I'll entice ya man,I do it all the time


In the mornin',in the evenin',
when the doves cry
I can feed you gut,put you in a tub
When I turn it up,yeah brotha you know
what's up
A little bubbles and a body rub,
turn off the water (drip drip)
Don't think about dessert,I got enough
And a whole lot more to ggiivveee!

[Chorus x4]

Glow Glow Glow...
When I turn it up,yeah brotha you know
what's up

[Repeat x3]

Glow Glow Glow...

(oooooooh)

[Chorus x2]

Mmmm,
Don't,don't,don't,don't,
Don't,(don't,don't) don't,don't,don't,
(don't don't)
It's bad,It's bad
Sometimes s**t is bad... (don't)
Look,

Don't feel no pity for me
Cause I'm going through a couple things,
Life means change,
That's the way it goes,goes
All my life I had a constant burning
A strong deep,desire
An aching ambiguous,yearning,yearning,
yearning

For something better
For something bigger
For something wider
For something higher
And lots of regrets


Cause I ain't seem to found it yet
I've been searching around the world
Never knowing what to expect
I get sad sometimes
Yes I be mad sometimes
Cause I'm out here on the grind
Making mine
And I still can't seem to find
What I've been looking for
Opened so many doors
For real,yo
I just wanna be loved...

[Chorus:]
I just wanna be loved
Like everybody else does
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved [Repeat x4]
I just wanna be loved

[Chorus]

(Intro:)
Hey
Mmmm hmmm,
Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me,
listen to me
Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me,listen...

I've been talking to this man
He's been saying what I like and
He makes me smile,
When I'm down,so down

He says sweet things in my ear
All the things that I needed to hear
But that's as far as it's gone
I promise,I promise

But I enjoy it,I love it so
Cause it seems like I'm always alone
You're at arms reach
But baby,
Where are you?
Where are you?

Cause I got this fire


Sweet and true
But I'm cold as ice around you

(Chorus:)
Cause I'm lonely
Whenever you're around
Cause I'm lonely
Whenever you're around

(Instrumental Break)

Whoa,whoa,whoa
What happened to the wonderful thing
we had
It seems like you're missing in action
And I'm tired,I'm tired
I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired

I don't wanna lose this good life
But I ain't scared
If I'm going to be the only one participating
in this

(Chorus)

I'm taking my freedom, pulling it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain, wearing it around my neck
I'm taking my freedom, putting it in my car
Wherever I choose to go it will take me far

I'm living my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden

I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my song
singing loud and strong, groovin all day long
I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my stroll
I'll be high stepping y'all, letting the joy unfold

I'm living my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden

I'm holdin on to my freedom, can't take it from me
I was born into it, it comes naturally
I'm strumming my own freedom in the god in me
reverence in his glory, hope he proud of me

I'm living my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
livin' my life like its golden
golden

livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden

living my life like its golden, it really matters to me oh!
livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden

Woke up this morning
Wit a smile on my face
jumped outta bed
took a shower,
dressed, cleaned up my place
Made some breakfast:
Toast, two srambled eggs, grits
Grabbed my keys,
Grabbed my purse,
Grabbed my jacket off to work
Beaming all the way down third

Is it the way you love me baybay?
2x

4:30
Can't wait to get home
Naw girl go ahead
I got something else to do
Go ahead really
Get your groove on
Cause tonight my man is coming thru
We gon hafto connect some other time
(as much as i like to shake my thang on the dance floor)
I got another nasty, freaky, right in mind
Tonight, I'm gonna beat the high score.

is it the way you love me baybay

fade out

Chorus: Erykah Badu (repeat 2X)

If you were worried ’bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don’t worry you know that you got me

(Black Thought)
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I’m overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don’t matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let’s link, let’s get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I’m tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Yo, I’m the type that’s always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that’s when she flip and get on some ’ol

[Eve]
Another lonely night
seems like I’m on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I’m pretty
Psych, I’m playin boo, you know it’s just wit you I’m stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don’t hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I’m still your girl
with all my classes I don’t have the time for life’s thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don’t be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind

[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
[Eve] Is you crazy, you my king for real
[Both] But sometimes relationships get ill
[Eve] No doubt

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that’s whispering ″she tryin to play you for the fool Black″
if something’s on your chest then let it be known
see I’m not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it’s just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what’s intact
and they’ll forever be I ain’t on some ″oh I’m a celebrity″
I deal with the real so if it’s artificial let it be
I’ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that’s exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that’s where that drama begins, she like

Chorus: repeat until fade

Let me
Let me sit with you beside a street
Let me
Let me laugh with you and share your dream
I'll be your true friend until the end
You can depend only select me
Let me, let me shade you
Let me
Let me
Let me cheer you when your dreams go best
Let me
Let me hold you when your world seems lost
Let me
Cause right now you know I love you so

Let me take you for a walk, walk in the park
Let me hold your hand
Let me see you spark

Let me asking you something

If I can hold your hand can I hold your heart
Let me, Just say you let me let me
Aint nobody love me quite like you love me girl
Body next to you, body let me love you girl
Cause I never felt love like this here

I've been wondering about the Complexity
Of what we have it shouldn't be
More
Just can't see
More

(Black Thought)
You're physically in this, but how can we tell
If we was meant to be in bliss if you're not mentally as well
This energy you're sending me is tricky as hell
Usually it's like a 50/50 we can take an L
Before we start things
At this point being apart brings
The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart-strings
I know it probably shouldn't feel like this
But any other woman I see is in your likeness
It's from your cheekbones...
To your lips...
To your curves...
To your deep moans...
To that walk...
To your words...
Your love feelin' like a breakdown on the verve
First we on good terms, then you're on my last nerve
Got my back just aching
My Shoes is all tight
It's too complex when we choose to do it right
It's wrong
One minute you a soldier - strong
Then you turn around talking 'bout its over and gone.
(i swear to god...)

(Black Thought)
When your boyfriend's in town it's bound to be trouble, love
His name Black and he known to be a lover of
Gettin' it on with my smokers jacket on
Eyes racin' back and forth
Listening to Chaka Kahn
Tryin' to
Figure the cause
Why you always hackin' off
Like I'm slackin' off
Maybe our signals getting crossed
What the case, love?
You feel like you makin' a waste of
Your precious time? - You need to get a taste of
Some space to breathe, a moment as friends
We shoulda felt ourselves slippin' into it again
'Cuz it's like
Off and on, on and off
Passion - Lost and found, found and lost
Clashin', askin' for nothing but understanding
Your heart's made of glass, use care in handling
Girl - all-in-all I never leave you stranded
'Cuz my respect you commanded
(you figure it out...)

I used to come into the party
And stand around
'Cuz I was kinda too shy to really get down
I used to, play the corner
And watch the scene
Deep down, knowing I wanted, to find me a queen
And I can feel that in my stomach
And up in my chest
Because I knew a lot of women, and some was fresh
But then I found you, girl and just like me
You had a heart that was yearning to be set free
Now listen
See you and me need to take the time
To erase any doubt that's inside your mind
Its not a mountain that I'm ever too tired to climb
And who's counting? - But I know at least a thousand times
I let you know I'm here for you, care for you, and confide in you
Break bread, share with you and provide for you
And that's full time - it's no 9 to 5 with you
That's why I'm tryin' to work it out with you
(Let's go.)

CHORUS:
Comin to break you off
I'm comin to break you off

1st verse
Bad misses throwing raspberry kisses on me
You looking for direction girl I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin we ain't 'sposed to be involved
Knowin when we get it off girl I mean it all
Keepin ya pheenin til you're taken and tossed
And when I'm breakin it off there's no denying the fact it's strong
Cuz you got a man who's probably playin his part
You probably breakin his heart
He's trying to figure the reason you gone

Is it cuz he's superficial?
Or is he too submissive?
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?
Or is it cuz you really couldn't see a future with him
All he bout is paper never took the time to choose or listen

You wanna get gripped up, flipped and thrown
And get strictly shown
The way to get in the zone. Of course,
Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Chorus

2nd verse
Brother down the hall
The one you bound to call
Workaholics are really I'm rarely around at all

What we started got serious reprecautions in court
We had a chance to turn back, but look now it's what
Late nights twistin something
Listenin to Neicey sing
She got the beef for you telling me you deeply
Appreciate the company, time we spend
I feel the same, it's a shame you ain't my girlfriend
Cuz listen, you need a brotha with the physical fix
Who come through in the mix
For you with no head tricks or fraud

You need a new position and who can get you open
Like eucalyptus and have ready to go for yours
Come on and wo

[Verse:]
You're that kind
That turns my head and makes me look
Whoa whoa whoa uh uh uh...uh
You're the kind
That makes me pull single dollars
Out my pocket book, ooh baby
You're sexiness in my restitute makes me
Wanna cook my favorite recipe
And place it on your table, baby
Your in-toxic ting and so divine
You're the kind that stays on a sista's mind

[Chorus:]
And I know you'll think this is crazy
But, I got something better at home
Ooh whoo oo woo woo
Hey hey I got something better at home

[Verse:]
He's the kind that breaks it down
And curls my toes, woo woo woo baby ow
He's the kind that loves my mind and feeds my soul
And I love it baby

His intellect and outer respect, makes me wanna crawl
And be my best
And I know...
He loves his baby

He sense of self and silliness
Makes the hardest things
The simplest and I look but don't touch
Never know baby

[Chorus:]
Cuz, I got something better at home
Ooh ohoo ooo
Cuz, I got something better at home
Ooh ohh woo wooo

[Bridge:]
Baby I know you love me
And your love is wonderful
You help me feel free
I wont betray you unintentionally, or intentionally
I got you babe
You can rest your shoulders and sleep at night
Okay

[Chorus:]
Alright cuz I know
Cuz I Know know know,
I know, I got something better at home
Oh

(42 Street Happenstance)
Jill Scott

Io��m truly sorry baby for what I did to you/
While you were busy loving me, I was busy too/
I played you dirty boy, did some things I shouldno��t do / while you were only trying to treat me food/ I was playingo�² damn/
I cano��t even begin to explain/ Io��m truly sorry boy/ Believe me I had my turn/
The next time love came along yeah it was me who burned. Sad and desperate I cried wondering why ask God why/
He would do this to me so damn easy/
Well karmas real and now I really do understand / what you give is what you get, universal plan/
Paid my price and looked at my life / and finally Io��m loving somebody righteously / And/
What goes around comes around really do /
Really does come back around /
And Io��m sorry for what I didno��t to you/
You didno��t deserve what I gave you but I gave it to you / I hope your okay/ I hope your loving/
Well baby just because you lived and lost dono��t mean stop loving/
If you have a nightmare, do you stop dreaming? /
Dono��t give up on love because what I did to you / I hope your okay /
I really do.
