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 |

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.

Must be nice
Having someone who understands the life you live Must be nice Having someone whose slow to take and quick to give Must be nice Having someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick Someone whose smile is bright enough to make the projects feel like a mansion Must be nice Having someone who loves you despite your faults Must be nice Having someone who talks the talk but also walks the walk Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too Someone who loves you for sho' You just remember to never let 'em go [Chorus] 'Cause even when your hustling days are gone She'll be by your side still holding on Even when those twenties stop spinning And all those gold-digging women disappear She'll still be here Must be nice Having someone you can come home to from a long day of work Must be nice Having someone you don't have to show; they know exactly where it hurts Must be nice Having someone who trusts you despite what they've heard Someone as mighty as a lion but still as gentle as a bluebird Must be nice Having someone you don't have to tell you don't want to be alone Must be nice Having someone you can grow old with until God calls y'all home Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too Someone who loves you for sho' You just remember to never let 'em go [Chorus x 3] |

[1st Verse:]
I know a lot of women gonna hate it but, somebody's gotta say it And so I nominated myself to deliver the news that its hard for a man to choose a lady that already got a baby Although his feelings may be strong Having kids that don't belong to him holding on to him somehow seems wrong to him Exposing them to a man who may one day decide he's tired of the family life And now he's gotta tell that little girl a goodbye lie when he's the only Dad she's ever had in her life I don't want to take that chance please don't take offense it's just the thought of hurting somebody that was innocent [Chorus:] She got kids And I don't know if I'm ready to give Them the things that they need to live 'Cause if we become more than just friends what I do for her I gotta do for them kids She got kids And I just want to make sure this is more than just some sexual trip See all I want to do is prevent those kids from getting hurt again [2nd Verse:] Most men think it but they'll never say it but what if ya'll had another baby And he's accused of choosing favorites, and they're right Would he be wrong for loving his own flesh and blood a little more Is he being human or only being immature who's to say that's why it's better just to wait take love day to day and let love spread its own wings and if it wants to fly away or if it decides to stay it won't be because of any unrealistic expectations ya'll done made and he won't have to pray that little girl ain't awake when he tiptoe out the door so he won't have to explain I don't want to take that chance please don't take offense I just don't need that kinda drama on my conscience Ohhh ooooo [Chorus] [Repeat] |

Feels like I'm in heaven Rollin' my 67 Cadillac DeVille bumpin' that old Sugar Hill Today I'm living proof your worst fear came true I'm doing alright without you baby I'm leaving all that darkness behind me Making changes in my life So when that sunshine finally finds me I can stand fully in the light Spread my wings and reach for sky I never felt so alive Kiss my kids goodnight Tell 'em Daddy's alright I'm alright Chorus: Honey child there's a whole world waiting on you Took a while but we finally made it through Go 'head you can smile now all that darkness' behind you Smile. Smile. Smile. 2nd Verse: Feels like I've been baptized almost drowned but I survived She held me under for 5 years of my life But today I'm living proof your worst fear came true I'm doing alright without you baby yes I am I'm leaving all those grudges behind me Throwing fear out the window So when these blessings come to find me They will have room to breathe and grow Let my blessings overflow and get my life under control So my kids will know, Daddy finally let go I finally let go Chorus/Bridge: Blue skies- blue skies are calling you No more teary eyes- no more crying for you baby And I don't despise you at all I thank you for the lessons you have taught me Chorus |

See I'm a wanted man
barely living in these streets. Since child support saw fit to put a warrant out on me. Say I owe em sixty-five hundred and they want their money. And it's so funny cause they know, I Ain't got that kinda dough. Like it's my fault that she got on welfare. I told her we can go half on the simliac and the daycare. But no, she got comfortable at the bottom and wanted to stay there. And I don't know how this gonna turn out. So y'all keep me in your prayers. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. See when I start back working they gonna take all my dough. And then they wonder well, what the hell ain't working for. All of this attention on this boy about some back shild support. When they killing each other by the dozens out here. Every day just for sport With bills stacked up to his chinny-chin-chin summoning him to court. Then all of his friends call him a worry-wart. Now all the money they gave her, I gotta give it back. Like I was the one living rent free and getting food stamps. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. No, say it again y'all. Get your own ma. Get your own ma. You're just greedy. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. |

I done had money I done been broke
I done been talked about something awful Done been lied on by so many folks I done even been depressed at times and didn't wanna cry cause my pride was too strong But over the years I thought it over And after struggling for so long and still holding on I figured can't be nothing all that wrong with crying if anybody says that they're strong they're lying See crying is like talking your soul to the laundromat It's like the feeling that you get when you see your Grand mama smile Or the heavens open up and blessing rain down Go on child and cry Go on and cry cry cry go on and cry cry cry We can cry We can cry together See I done been a player I done been played I done went for some of the olest tricks from Some of the coldest chicks god done ever made Said I done even gad a venereal disease And didn't wanna go to the clinic all that attention embarrassing me But over the year I've learned to understand that I don't really give a damn what nobody say I'm a man and we cry We can cry we can we can cry we can cry together Talkin' bout wo wo wo yea yea yea They say a man ain't supposed to cry but I know know know Fasho' sho' sho' that even men go through problem sometime Talkin' bout wo wo wo yea yea yea They say a man ain't supposed to cry but I know know know Fasho' sho' sho' that even men go through problem sometime |
