DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE? featuring Nemiss
“Here’s a story baby never told”
BBC:
“Baby!”, “Baby, Baby!”
Baby, Baby, How it feel?
Being with you seals the deal
Baby, Baby
Day or night, Day or night always feels right
Baby, Baby, Is it good?
Does it do what it should?
Baby, Baby Keep me high
Do what you do all the time
Baby, Baby
I’d run a mile just to see your smile
Baby, Baby
Sexy as hell, I wonder if you can tell
Baby, Baby
I ain’t the same now when I shoot I aim
Baby, Baby
What you wanna know
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Baby baby, Baby, baby
Won’t you be my baby, baby
Baby baby, Baby baby
Won’t you be my baby, baby
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Won’t you be my lady, lady
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Won’t you be my
Do you have a minute to have a drink?
Do you have a minute to hear me speak?
Do you have a minute to get to know?
Do you have a minute, do you have to go?
And even though you’re fine as hell
I wanna get to know you can’t you tell
You look a girl who won’t give me hell
I don’t even know your name
Here’s a story baby never told
She was hip hop I was rock and roll
Every day was like out of control
When we first met I was so bold
See I had to go see I had to go
Introduce myself like I had to know
Me and she would become we
She must have thought I was crazy
Nemiss -
I dig your game, but my gift of gab
will talk a man out his wallet
Have him pick up the tab
I got some things you might like to grab
Plus you got to run it like Donovan McNabb
I don’t play the field that’s hard times
Just meet me at the 50 yard line
Cause loves a sport I know you like to chase
Especially girls like me with style and grace
Who can vocally lace
Looking like I need to be on the cover of Trace
Fat booty little pudge in the waist
Hope you got stamina keep up the pace
Say what’s on your mind don’t save face
Let’s drive into NY City for fun
See the bright lights of Broadway and Enrst Young
The night will turn into day
Baby I’m so selective,
But you made everything on my checklist
Baby baby, Baby baby
Won’t you be my baby baby
Baby baby, Baby baby
Won’t you be my baby baby
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Won’t you be my lady lady
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Won’t you be my
Do you have a minute to have a drink?
Do you have a minute to hear me speak?
Do you have a minute to get to know?
Do you have a minute, do you have to go?
And even though you’re fine as hell
I wanna get to know you can’t you tell
You look a girl who won’t give me hell
I don’t even know your name
Here’s a story baby never told
GIRL
Days go by in the summer time
and I didn't speak to you
And I just had a crazy thought
it was all about, guess who?
I wanna start off where we left off,
how 'bout a rendezvous?
Get your clothes off I'm gonna rub you soft
Let me treat your body new, new, new
I ain't playin' with, with you girl
this is for real girl, girl
just wait one minute girl,
just think, just think girl, girl
If you & I were in a paradise
what colors would you use?
I'd start off with the sky blue
and the ocean too
Maybe orange for the sunlight,
yellow would be too cool
Dreams are golden, but not unfrozen
Let your mind get loose
I wanna kiss you in the summer time
and the winter too
Is that too much to think about
I wanna eat you like my food
but maybe it's just a crazy thought
as I express myself to you
I ask myself this everyday
thinking about guess who,
guess who, guess who
I ain't playin' with, with you girl
this is for real girl, girl
just give me a minute girl,
just think, just think girl, girl
IS THIS SOMETHING?
She don’t hold my hand
like the way she use to do
And I don’t understand
that’s what’s up
Things aren’t too cool
Is it what I said
or was it things left unsaid?
Things might get real bad
if only one of us feels so sad
Days might go away,
but memories stay
And make you blame
Am I the one to blame
when both of us knew something had to change?
Is this something
or is this nothing?
All this suffering
we need to do more touching
And I can’t hold you back
I’m too free to think that way
But If I let you go
I may never treat you the same
If you hold my hand
it’s only ‘cause I act this
I won’t switch ‘cause
I know you don’t like
when I change
We go back and forth
just to see where we start again
I might drive off course
'cause only you
can make me steady again
Is this something
or is this nothing?
All this suffering
we need to do more touching
Is this something?
Is this nothing?
She don’t kiss my soul
like the way she use to do
Won’t let me lose control
she don’t need no substitutes
And all that talk about
this that that and this that again
I just want her to know
that I still care
Is this something
or is this nothing?
No more suffering
we need to do more touching
Is this something
or is this nothing?
All this talking
we need to do more touching
WE GO ALL OUT FOR OUR PEOPLE
First on your team
‘cause I get that crème
And I got a mean lean
why you think I’m still on the scene
Check out my ways,
got girls for days
And all they say is
I need a new way to play
And if’s good
I’ll introduce you to my hood
Where corners are used for distribution
Understood?!?
Ego-Maniacs live kinda flat in pine box
When they don’t know how to act
We Go We Go
All Out For Our People
Yes I make a shot
from the number 3 spot
Power forward of course
they know me a lot
On the court I control the rock
b-ball for days
Amaze I’ll shoot you into a haze
It’s not the day
to come out and play
If you stay you might need Kobe
to come and shoot a tre
I ain’t lying
it’s my sneakers you’ll be buying
now check the ball up fool
and stop trying
We Go All Out For Our People
Yes I reign supreme,
got these studio keys
Put your mind at ease
if you’re on my team
Got bigger dreams
then crack and bling
It’s more to see
then them material things
Shatter your heart
give you a start
Get out the dark
you need that spark
I might jam in the park
no it’s not a lark
Put you on to business
now you in this
In this to win this
each day is stupendous
How should I end this
want you to hear this
Even send this
make sure they get this
Now they got it,
uh, rock that
Wrote me a note
talking about the meaning
I ain’t a genie
future is leaning
Towards the good
versus the evil
Now I know
you wanna hear the sequel
We Go
All Out For Our People
(Peep)
ROOM OR A BED
I like that girl
from around your way
We talk dirty
almost every day
She like my face
yeah she like my way
It didn’t matter
what I had to say
We took a walk through
Central Park
It was some time way
after dark
We got acquainted,
yeah against the law
Public places
make me get real raw
I hope nobody sees
what we’re about to do
I won’t you so bad
I can’t wait for a room or a bed
We rolled on grass
and the grass was good
We’re coming in
your neighborhood
Next time we do it
let it be understood
Don’t stop for nothing
lets just do what we should
She took me to a spot
near her place
We were to have a drink
then break
She kissed me once
then she kissed me twice
I was all over her
like gravy on rice
Oh no not again
maybe we shouldn’t
Maybe we should
I can’t wait for a room or a bed
I hope nobody sees
what we’re about to do
Maybe we shouldn’t
nah maybe we could
Oh no not again
what are we doing?
Maybe we should
I can’t wait for a room or a bed
Can I get a Scotch on the rocks?
Make that two
(I’m warning you!!!)
COOL!!!
I NEED YOU
I can’t be with you
every single day
And this is something
that you know I just can’t change
You know I love you
and this is not a show
I take you with me
every place I go
And oh you’re right here
next to me
And don’t think that I don’t care
about what you’re doing
And Oh, I need you
I need you, I need you,
You
We might not talk as often
as before
You might be working
I might be on the road
People need people
don’t always go away
We might fight sometimes,
but I love you quite the same
And if there’s a time
you need to really tell me
About how you feel
and what you’re missing
I’ll be there for you
I need you,
I need you,
I need you
You
The distance between us
it’s only physical
I’m going to see you soon
Don’t be the silent one
if it’s someone you love
They’re probably missing you too
I think about you
every single day
You’ll never leave my mind
and this will never change
You,
(I really need)You,
You, You
I Need You
You
AND THEN THERE IS YOU featuring DuEwa
BBC:
Time will pass us by
And all we can do
is wonder why
With a day like it is today
I’m so happy
to see your face
And then there is you
Tomorrows not promised or today
But that doesn’t mean
I have to be afraid
Time is right on time
and never late
So when my time comes
don’t say it was fate
And then there is you
Time . . .
Time . . .
DuEwa:
Life’s gonna pass you by
whether or not
you try to love me
as I am
I could get at a baller,
but I’d rather have a real man
Let’s just have this time
you know I’ll be there for you
when you fall
We gonna make this easy
like a mellow Commodore song
BBC:
Twice a baby once a man
Strong and meek was in the plan
Time doesn’t choose a side
All I need is you
WET HEAT
Shine on my block
You always make things hot
You’re the reason why I stayed
Even though things may never change
I dig what we have here
She never knew me cold
So my story won’t get told
We shared our lives just the same
Intimacy we exchange
She let me see what I could be
So how come
in the winter time
there’s always heat
around you?
I say how come
in the winter time
there’s burning heat
around you?
It’s that wet heat
in the morning
Break me off just a little
before the dawn and
Morning times perfect
for good loving
Stop sleeping
lets get to some touching
Don’t waste your days
Thinking we’re gonna change
You and I can’t deny
Even if we even sort of try
We seek each others body heat
I saw you at the bus stop
That day I had to change my route
You can call it what you want
I could never really front
I’m digging you next to me
So how come
in the winter time
there’s always heat
around you?
I say how come
in the winter time
there’s burning heat
around you?
It’s that wet heat
in the morning?
Break me off just a little bit
before the dawn and
Morning times perfect
for good loving
Stop sleeping
let’s get to some rubbing
Shine on my block,
Shine on my block
LOVE AND DECEPTION featuring Nemiss
Nemiss:
Sometimes they say
secrets are best kept
But lately I keep hearing footsteps
If I felt something wrong
I think I would step
regardless of the past
I’m trying to see the good left in you
I’m trying to work with you
But it seems that
we got a lot of work to do
To keep hiding
that’s what a jerk would do
And you know
it would only be hurting you
You ain’t got to share with me
every little detail
Every little female,
every little email
I’m just stressing
this is our first child
And it’s a blessing
and I want love not deception
BBC:
I could have many women.
Would that be my deception?
I could have many children.
Would that be my deception?
I could have 5 wives.
Would that be a deception?
‘Married several different times’,
would that be my deception?
But then I meet you
and I see what I’m missing
I can’t change my past,
but I can keep things hidden
The lies can last,
but we about to have children
You’re looking at a man
who doesn’t know what he was given
Can you feel me baby?
(She singing . . .)
Is it love or deception?
Is it love or deception?
Playing games with my affection
Is it love or deception?
Is it love or deception?
Playing with your affection
Is it love or deception?
Is it love or deception?
Playing with your emotions
Is it love or deception?
Is it love or deception?
Playing with my affection
Is it love or deception?
Is it love or deception?
Playing games with my affection
THIS IS NOT A TEST
The ladies know my name
This is not a game

Gonna stay late

Breakdown
Rock it on the beat right!
AIM YOUR WEAPON
Enemy closing in,
no time to grin
While at war
No time for sleep,
less time for peace
Where’s my drug?
Are you ready?
It’s time you became a man boy
Aim your weapon steady
It’s too late
for you to go home son.
Tell my mom that I’m okay
Make her believe
I stumble I bleed
Is this just a dream,
or am I dead?
Are you ready?
It’s time you became a man boy
Aim your weapon steady
It’s too late for you to go home son.
Well are you ready?
It’s time you became a man boy
(Oh lord, no, no, no)
Aim your weapon steady
It’s too late for you to go home son.
It’s time . . .
(Are you ready?)
It’s time . . .
(Aim your gun steady)
It’s time . . .
(Are you ready?)
It’s time . . .
(Aim your gun steady)
Hut 2, 3, 4
Hut 2, 3, 4
I CAN DO IT
I player a major role
in a danger zone
I wonder if I could
keep my soul
They a day ahead
I’m a day behind
But I gotta keep up
like on my grind
I shake a hand
try to get a grand
But it’s not enough
to buy me land
So I don’t sleep
yes I hardly eat
When it’s good
I get up on my beat
And I’m not alone
got them in my zone
Got friends of mines
ain’t throwing stones
Whether down south or up north
Across the sea
or on the shore
When the doubt comes
you can’t run
You gotta keep your vision
They days ahead
I’m steps behind
But I can do things with my time
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I Can Do It
I Did It
I got more to say
in a major way
Smooth Operator
like Big Daddy Kane
It’s hurting me
when you’re jerking me
But I got another place to be
It’s a lost to you
and a gain to me
‘cause now I see just how you be
It’s all good for you
it’s all good for me
Like a rolling stone
no moss for me
I’m Hannibal an Animal
when I get inside my red zone
You flossin’ I’m touching
souls made of some substance
Excellent, just excellent
always trying to give my best to them
Half ass gets no pass
and stays last
Now you can laugh
(Come On)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I Can Do It
I Did It
TELL YOUR STORY
Sharing guilty pleasures
with the one you know you love
Might lead to makin’ babies
in places you never thought of
They wanna know if lost
if I ever had it
Fuck around I’m gonna have to
show all you bastards
Major doubt if I took the right route
Feels like I’m in a championship bout
Who’s the contender
I guess I am
The blues, the blues
I ain’t fightin’ the blues
I’m with the blues
and all the blues
Might make you wanna shiver
and choose to lose
I won’t lose,
land on my feet correct
Get a check, cash a check
But this ain’t for the love of dough
Or your respect
I’m in a battle for life,
feel like a cat with nine lives
What is strife?
Play the bass line right
Dandelion in distress
I guess mom always knew best
Tried to warn you
about what was ahead
But I had a hard head
now I feed off the stress
Can I get a witness?
I need a witness
So the lord knows I was here
Get lost in the shuffle again
Naah please, Lord please
Several children in Africa
hungrier than me
Weigh less than me
What do I do if I have to complain again?
Is this life for me, me, me?
Is my issue irrelevant
when I have the intellegience
To eat everyday
even though it’s not elegant?
Peas and rice never made a man soft
So what if I don’t eat
high off the hog
N***** complain about
this that and the other
But I’m here and you’re here
and lets make this
a better year yeah, yeah
I need to hear the story
don’t make me wait
(I’m here and you’re here)
I see the world go around
and like they left the blues
they’ll leave me and you
hip hop dead please
you better get on your hands and knees
and ask the lord
if you can please stop smokin’
them trees, them trees
‘Cause when hip hop gets old
someone will replace it
with another form of rock & roll
Can I get a witness?
Shit, I don’t need a witness to know
When shit gets old
it gets replaced by new toys
How many fools
done lost there jobs to a new cpu?
Computer branded for the next generation
Handed pink slips and rent abandoned
But you have to learn to land on the bottom
Of your feet if you wanna eat
If you wanna eat, if you wanna eat
And depression,
depression can be a motherfucker
Like an enemy with no sympathy
Won’t let you sleep, won’t let you eat
But you gotta say
there’s gonna be a brighter day
Another day to get up and do my thing
So stop stressin’
about all the bullshit you know is bullshit
Get up and take a trip don’t slip don’t slip
Stay hip now I dip
check it check it out
We about get it on
Tell your story no doubt
I need to hear the story
don’t make me wait
(I’m here and you’re here)
From DIRECT SUNLIGHT
WANT YOU IN MY LIFE
My, My, My, My, My you’re so fine
I want to kiss your lips and thighs
Pardon my expression,
but I need to learn a lesson
Exactly how this woman feels
More and more I want you in my life
You bring the heat and that’s alright
I want you to be my baby
You drive me so crazy
Everything just feels alright
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na (4x)
My, My, My, My, My where you been?
I’ve been looking for you ever since
You touched my faced warmed my place
What the hell? What the hell is wrong with me?
More and more I want you in my life
You bring the heat and that’s alright
I want you to be my baby
You drive me so crazy
Everything just feels alright
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na (4x)
She’s the most, highest one
I think, I want some
I love you, yes I said it
I want you, won’t regret it
You and I, with a lullaby
Romance me, one more night
Can I, sing a song
About you, Am I wrong?
More and more and I want you in my life
I feel the heat can we do it one more time?
I hear the phone I know it’s your ring
I touch you girl just to hear you sing
More and more I know you’re right for my life
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
Are you in the mood?
I wanna do something easy
And I want to do it with you
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
Want to get close to you
I want to stay with you
Yeah, you got me baby
Yeah, you got me honey
You’re all I want to do
Yeah, you got me baby
Yeah, you got me honey
We were meant to be cool
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
When you’re next to me
I can be silent, ‘cause of the heat
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
Can’t even sleep
Thinking about when I see you
Yeah, you got me baby
Yeah, you got me honey
You’re all I want to do
Yeah, you got me baby
Yeah, you got me honey
We were meant to be cool
Good Life
Jackie’s got a way to go
she doesn’t talk the same
“Hit me with your number
don’t hit me with your game”
And I can’t help but wonder
which dude changed her mind
She use to boom like thunder
now she takes her time
She needs a relationship
she needs one real soon
Summertime is coming
next thing you know it’s June
Leisure days romantic nights
all of this in sight
She wants something different
a taste of good life
“Melody is something
that just doesn’t go away”
After I heard you criticize
I had to read your page
There was something about a carpenter
who didn’t quite love you
But the words were so faded
I don’t know if what I read was true
She needs a relationship
she needs one real soon
Summertime is coming
next thing you know it’s June
Leisure days romantic nights
all of this in sight
She wants something different
a taste of good life
She needs a man
who’s gonna love her cool
Can’t take away her problems,
but make them understood
This one’s not a genie
she won’t runaway
She wants something
different a taste of good life
Round & Round We Go
I gets down, down
She gets down, down
I read the front page every single day
I ride the middle car twice a day
I’m making things come easier to you
By asking what you wanna do
And every time I change my mind
It comes from the whiplash a hit from behind
Only one thing that can go my way
Is loving this girl everyday
I don’t care about ballers
or players with bling that shines
I just wanted you in my life
(Na, Na, Na . . .)
Round and round and round we go
What we see is what we know
Everyday the same old thing
We change things up so we can stay
(Na, Na, Na . . .)
You are the rose I aim to please
And what you are is what I need
Follow the brick road down the street
It starts off yellow, but ends up green
And every time I try to get with you
I remain calm ‘cause of other dudes
Everyone chasing just one thing
I'm sittin’ in the cut yo about to sing
I don’t care about ballers
or players with bling that shines
I just wanted you in my life
(Na, Na, Na . . .)
Round and round and round we go
What we see is what we know
Everyday the same old thing
We change things up so we can stay
(Na, Na, Na . . .)
I Don't Know What It Is About You
I can’t speculate if what we do you imitate
With another man I wanted you to be my fam
Every time I look around
several things are breaking down
Pick one choose one
There’s time for work there’s time for fun
Emotion manipulate, see yourself from far away
You were already there,
say the things that make you care
Answer me this one
if I unmask would you run?
Several days we’ve been right here
Could it turn to several years
“I don’t know what it is about you
that makes me come back for more
and more and more and more”
Is it the way you kiss? Why you wanna suck my lip?
Tease me, please me, anger me, feed me
A dose of you is not enough
I hate it when you act too tough
Hide emotions everyday make me wanna speculate
Treason is on my mind, are we just making time?
Find a new one to make me laugh to make me run
One day, one year, one week, one fear
Say the things that make you care
Say the things that make me care
“I don’t know what it is about you
that makes me come back for more
and more and more and more”
Daybreak
Daybreak,
Is the only time that
I get to see you
Heartache,
is something
we both know how to do
Mistakes,
I think of the ones
I made with you
Some say,
true love only comes for a few
Your story is all I have
and I won't sell it back to you
Don't forget about your past
'cause my future's up to you
Daybreak,
Is the only time that
I truly know you
Heartache,
sometimes we pretend
we don't know what we do
Mistakes,
come and go
I can count a few
Some say,
you only learn after
you've been used
You know what you mean to me
so why would you crush me
I gave up what I needed
to help you with your dreams
Daybreak
Daybreak
Ice Creme,
is something
that I would buy you
Chocolate,
was a flavor
you thought was cool
Daybreak,
is the only time
I get to see you
Daybreak,
is the only time
I get to kiss you
Direct Sunlight
Looking directly into the sun
I looked so hard I guess I looked too much
I don't know what I may or may not do
but I can't hold onto these feelings for you
Silently we gaze for a stare
when its too much pressure I don't even dare
So I hide in the shadows of your love
hoping you will shine on me like the sun above
There I go again
reaching for places I shouldn’t go
Seeing your reflection in this scene
Gives me something to believe
Looking over my shoulder into the rain
Makes me think of all your joy and pain
It was I who made the first move
To remove you from my life, what did I do?
Some days are so warm in the sun
Some days are so warm when you come
Let the angels say a prayer for me today
‘cause things between you and I
aren’t quite the same
There I go again
reaching for places I shouldn’t go
Seeing your reflection in this scene
Gives me something to believe
There I go again
reaching for something I already know
The sun shines directly on you
Leaving me with nothing to do
Leaving me with nothing to do
There’s nothing left for me to do
Trippy Pills
I’m falling a sleep on these trippy pills
‘cause happiness is something I just don’t feel
I know it’s got to be a better way
A better way to get next to you
I felt like I was dying
Selfish I was just crying
Should have passed my thoughts to my baby
All this damn time I’ve been wasting
I needed someone to rescue me
I needed an angel for everything
I couldn’t help, but wondering
If my life was worth living . . .
I’m falling a sleep on these trippy pills
‘cause happiness is something I just don’t feel
I know it’s got to be a better way
A better way to get next to you
Falling, falling sleepy man
He wants to die and that’s his plan
Found him, found him tucked away
Now he’s not in the way
Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy man
Want to take your problems in your hands
Gonna to make the girl feel guilty
For whatever it is you believe
I’m falling a sleep on these trippy pills
‘cause happiness is something I just don’t feel
I know it’s got to be a better way
A better way to get next to you
Kinder Elevation
Kinder elevation came to me in June
She said to me “for you I will make room”
Like a man without hope
I thought I’d lose myself
I said to myself ‘I need this woman’s help’
(chorus)
These are the word I need to say
Some choose to go some choose to stay
Sometimes hard to communicate
Kinder Elevation come my way
Melancholy wind opens my front door
But I don’t think I can take anymore
I never thought about but now I look at myself
Without you I don’t want nobody else
These are the word I need to say
Some choose to go some choose to stay
Sometimes hard to communicate
Kinder Elevation come my way
All my days are better without you
I lie to myself just to get through
I hope you know what it is that you do
I carry you around like a carry these tunes
These are words I did not say
She chose to go she chose not to stay
Now I hope I wish I pray
Kinder Elevation will come my way
You Are The One
I’m here with so much emotion
I know it’s gonna take devotion
Is it now or is it never?
These words need to be spoken
She and I play for attention
I fall behind ‘cause that’s not my intention
She makes a call and I’m right there daily
I’m obsessed with her for more than her body
You are the one that I want to know
You are the one that I need to know
I was hurting good from her loving
Even though we were always struggling
A college girl with good intentions
No guarantee’s but direction
Here I am at your mercy
She looks at me with too much feeling
I fall in line and that’s my decision
To make things work without regretting
You are the one that I want to know
You are the one that I need to know
It’s happening in New York City
It’s happening in your city
It’s happening in every city
Sugar Dumpling
By the end of my life
I wanna be where you are, please
We don’t have to grow old,
but I’m just saying I need to know, please
A big Cadillac and things
show me something special
And I’ll show you a ring
(Don’t forget the macaroni & cheese please)
You sure are dynamite,
you compromise your art
just to share my life, please
Where you are I wanna be
my pretty baby my sugar dumpling
Why’s that so hard to believe
Where you are I wanna be
my baby my sugar dumpling
Don’t forget the macaroni & cheese, please
Red light green tonight
your ass is sure looking
mighty fine, please
End of this song I wanna
take you somewhere
where we can be alone, please
A big Cadillac and things
show me something special
And I’ll show you a ring
(Don’t forget the macaroni & cheese please)
All I know is what I see
makes me feel good
makes me wanna sing, please
Where you are I wanna be
my pretty baby my sugar dumpling
Why’s that so hard to believe
Where you are I wanna be
my baby my sugar dumpling
Don’t forget the macaroni & cheese, please
“There’s a factor that lurks in my mind.
Together we must intertwine.
Eventually a sugar dumpling
may become a sour grape,
so this is why I give her space.
Freedom! What’s that?
(I don’t want to be with you for a lifetime.
Just for now.)
It’s all in your mind. Intertwine.
If you like to dance then dance.
You’ve got 3 seconds.
I want to remove myself
from this unpleasant place.
And find myself beyond your grace.
And eventually sugar dumplings
become sour grapes.
This is why I must give you space.
The cause, the cause becomes my alarm
and I must find a way, a new way to charm.
Can we go down? Can we dance?
Can we get down? Show me! Do your dance!”
From LAID BACK COOL
Laid Back Cool
I get deeper and deeper
just to get into you
it gets sweeter and sweeter
coming here for you
what I’m trying to say love
I just want to stay
Miss Diva
or should I call you boo
(chorus) Hey lady.
I’m so into you
Hey lady, You’re so laid back cool
If it ain’t smooth enough
I know just what to do
If it ain’t sharp enough
I’m gonna have to go back to school
we can take this higher love
now how that sound to you ?
Oh Diva or should I call you boo
Hey lady.
I’m so into you
Hey lady, You’re so laid back cool
Wish I Was Still With You
How have you been?
It’s been such a long time
since I saw your
pretty little face up against mine
Well I wanted to know
if the world moved too slow
‘cause there’s this memory in my mind
in relation to our last time
(chorus) Oh I wish I was still with you
‘cause the world seems so cold
from this point of view
How does it feel to be on your own?
you always talked about these big dreams
seems you’re living them out to me
How do I say in such a short time?
I want you back in my life
I want the long version this time
Oh I wish I was still with you
‘cause the world seems so cold
from this point of view
Your Curiosity My Jealousy
Party after party
We just moving around
Its all a reflection
of how we feel inside
My girlfriend found a lover
just for a little while
a female to play with
I always knew you were wild
yeah yeah yeah yeah
(chorus) In all your curiosity
I suffer from jealousy
And all the special love that you gave
will I never ever see it again
I hear all the stories
of how ya’ll be getting down
I pretend not to believe them
‘cause I need to see for myself
An open invitation
I’ve seen all I need to see
Is this a one time affair?
Because I don’t like to share (chorus)
My One Weakness
I can’t believe
what you’ve done to me
It’s like mixing fantasy
with so much reality
Cause when you lay with me
there’s no better way
for me to say I love you
(chorus) You are my one weakness
I can’t believe you are mine
With you there are no secrets lets make this one here for life
You make me wanna scream
Baby turn on the lights I wanna see everything
baby blow out the candle lights
Cause when you lay with me
there’s no better way for me to say I love you
Cause when you lay with me
there’s no better way
for me to say I love you
(chorus) You are my one weakness
I can’t believe you are mine
With you there are no secrets lets make this one here for life
(chorus) Shame on you
Running Away With Yourself
She’s walking away
with nothing to say
she’s hinted around
that she wants out
(chorus)
Running away with yourself
Searching to find someone else
She’s hoping to find
a very tall man
with very long hair
wearing blue jeans
Running away with yourself
Searching to find someone else
Running away with yourself
Searching to find someone else
(chorus)
Running away with yourself
Searching to find someone else
She’s on her back
summarizing the day
too soon to replace
his memory
those memories
those damn memories
Still A Baby
This don’t make no sense,
that I’m here without you
You say you need the space
to do the things you do
And I can’t understand
why I can’t call you
No, I can’t understand
why I can’t see you
(chorus) You’re still a baby to me to me
In my discretion
I decided I would call
In my temptation
I decided to go over
Greeted by deception
there you were with a new friend
I was of the opinion
that I could handle this
You’re still a baby to me,
You’re still a lady to me
What's The Matter With My Life
What’s the matter with my life
I keep picturing comical things
illusions up in my head
I laugh without waiting
A shady lady with a moustache
asking me for a cigarette
she’s hiding from the authorities
she starts to like to wear a dress
What’s the matter with my soul
too many obstacles I’m confused by t.v.
I think it speaks to me
A woman in a hat sees me
look at her from the corner of my eye
she disappears without notice
reappears in my dreams that night
What’s the matter with your keys
how come you never come home
who’s gonna walk the dog
I wonder if he can go alone
Rover takes himself to the bathroom
all over and over again
he even knows how to use the t.v.
but doesn’t let it get to his head
(poor Hover)
You have just been welcomed
inside of my mind
how does it look,
how does it feel?
Just Too Much Everyday
Has anybody told you
“you got an ass like a salt shaker”?!?
Have I told you
“You give me lift like a circuit breaker”
These things been on my mind
I didn’t know how to say ‘em
These things been on my mind
so let me tell you
(chorus)
It’s like putting chocolate on fudge cake,
it’s like winning lotto everyday,
it’s like a nudie magazine at a nude colony
it’s just too much for me to take
You got this aroma
that stays on top of my lip
I could sell it like a fragrance
make a profit and dip
your booty’s been on my mind
I just didn’t know how to say it
your belly buttons been on my mind
so let me tell you
It’s like putting chocolate on fudge cake,
it’s like winning lotto everyday,
it’s like a nudie magazine at a nude colony
it’s just too much for me to take
Everyday Everyday Everyday
You & I plus a glass of wine
I’m drunk with ambition so now I’ll do you
See through the looking glass
future’s fuzzy like high school history class
You & I say nothing
find new ways to communicate
I’ll touch you
down I go
you suffocate me slow
branch out find a new
hanging in the clubs
seeing you in my spot is different
I want to write you a book of poetry,
but I don’t have a pen
so the thoughts are stuck right here
*Remember Lonely
(*Lead Vocal by Achuziam Maha)
Had a lot to say tonight
couldn’t remember it all
The bar closes down soon
this drink will help me recall
If I’m lucky I’ll do what I said
I’ll go straight home tonight
but I always find a new place
(chorus)
Remember Lonely
Lonely just came
came out for the company
came around for the change
Am I gonna see you ever again?
Are we just 2 strangers
off & on again
If I’m lucky,
I’ll do what you said
get some sleep tonight
I think I’ll go out instead
Remember Lonely
Lonely just came
came out for the company
came around for the change
Something is happening.
I see the change
excuse my intrusion
If I ask to stay
If I’m lucky,
I’ll do what they say
I won’t stray from you no
but I never do stay
Remember Lonely
Lonely just came
came out for the company
came around for the change
I Remember Lonely
I Remember These Streets
I Remember Lonely
I Remember You
Your Favorite Things
What did your daddy say when he called you
and why are you sitting there alone?
It hurts to see you angry and cautious,
but your hurt is almost gone
‘cause now everything is personal
and you once hoped for a union of souls
You still don’t know why
you were brought here
Your heart has never
suffered so much cold
(chorus) Pay attention to me
like you pay attention
to your favorite things 2x
Walk & talk with me
like you walk & talk with
strangers in the street
Pay attention to me
like you pay attention
to your favorite things
The last time you
spent money on a dime bag
that could have been
cotten candy for your daughter
because all the things
you said weren’t possible
the effort wasn’t given
so we don’t know
You’re reminded by hurt,
but not too often
we learn to live
with pain don’t you know
both sides seem to live
with this struggle
‘cause life has to go on (chorus)
Pay attention to me
like you pay attention
to your favorite things 2x
Walk & talk with me
like you walk & talk with
strangers in the street
Pay attention to me
like you pay attention
to your favorite things
One day he’ll realize
he can’t have back this time
what you must do in the meanwhile
Is keep your spirits alive
Love & Hate
Don’t ever tell me that you hate me
‘cause I know you never would
I’d rather you punish me with silence
than give me that unforgiving look
next time you say I hurt you
blame it on my evil twin
only shows up for agility
I can make up for his sins
Don’t ever wake me up early
if I look like I’m already dead
maybe this is your chance to get away
save yourself from the one you wed
and don’t call back too soon
‘cause I might not give you up
persuade you to come back to me
you wanna see me on my hands & knees
Don’t tell me that you love me
if you’re not really sincere
I’ve only known you for a minute
and that minute wasn’t clear
It doesn’t work like that, no never at all
You say you went on a long trip,
but couldn’t get away from my bullshit
Don’t give up on me
like I know you already have
I never said I was perfect.
Never told you the problems I had
sometimes I wanna see you
other times can I be invisible,
but I could never hurt you
If I did it was unintentional
Love & Hate
This is Love & Hate
What is Love & Hate?
Some Love Some Hate
Hardly See You Anymore
I had something to tell you,
but I changed my mind again.
All My Fears Part 2
Had I known about you
(Today I buried All my fears) O.K.
Everyone Owns This Emotion
Its only Tuesday & we’re finding out
everyone owns this emotion
I can’t find my yellow shirt
I’m late for work
my boss is going to get me
Work is unfulfilling
some friends are unforgiving
It’s the first time in a long while
where I feel like lighting up a philly
(chorus) Life goes on & on
and everyone owns this emotion 2x
I stay away from stray shots
now that’s a real survivor
o.k. computer,
but I can’t take you out to dinner
general population
checking out each other
should I be cautious
and don’t speak to others
Life goes on & on
and everyone owns this emotion 2x
Its time I make you my friend,
Its time I make you my best friend
Trying To Save The Day
You want to end your woes,
but most problems come up unexpected
you get brave, but don’t you know
your smallest problem
can turn into one big dilemma
And I can’t laugh anymore I want out,
but they keep pulling me back in
I slip & laugh anyway,
If I don’t the anger becomes
my friend and we play everyday
(chorus) Yes, I’m trying to save the day
But the more I try the more I want to go away
Yes I’m trying to save the day I get so angry
I just wanna fade away
You didn’t always want to be
always angry’ at yourself
for what you didn’t do
but the time keeps ticking down
each time you look in the mirror
you see a person who is not complete
And this might be hitting home
but I look at you
and sometimes I see myself
And I know its not enough
for you to say you care
when I know that you really don’t
(chorus)Yes, I’m trying to save the day
But the more I try the more I want to go away
Yes I’m trying to save the day I get so angry
I just wanna fade away
Oh it ain’t over and
Oh It just begun
just when you think
you’re where you want to be
reality comes & checks you in the chin
It ain’t really worth it
thinking about all that I have to do
‘cause I’m tired of sitting down
I keep coming up with a better excuse
You say you’ve had enough,
but you stick around
like everything is peachy keen
I don’t mean to be rude
but you’re making me sick
just a little bit
yes I’m trying to save the day
so the future’s bright not just for today
I keep searching for the answers,
but the question remains ‘can I stay’?
