1. I'M YOUR LIFE



I got a way in finding all the wrong place to go
Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right time
That's I do so bad at life, if you need a friend to show you already know
If you got a lot of time to blow, I got the rest of the night
I suck at doing anything right I'm right ever
whatever you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Take a champagne glass to the rest of me
I know I make you so happy,..
But I'm the only life you got, ask the Lord
that he saved my soul some day
If God will come around my way, imagine if I pray,
I really don't wanna be this way,
but I'm not ever whatever
you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on

And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Is that what... you can't do a body
You gotta live with it you can't live without it
I'm trying to change I'm so sorry...
I'm not your friend, I'm your life
I'm not ever whatever you don't wanna have to depend
on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, oh oh, whatever whatever you don't want,
I can't be your friend my friend
Whatever, whatever, I'm not your friend, I'm just your life,
I'm your life.

2. LOVE IS YOU



[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Stephens, John Roger;]

What's your definition of it?
How's it make you feel?
Tell me what'd you say that truly makes it real
Kings and queens, philosophers have tried so hard to find
Tell me what it means to you, dear, never mind

Love is kind when the world is cold
Love stays strong when the fight gets old
Love is a shoulder to lean on, love is you

Love's like the water when the well runs dry
Quench my thirst, keep me alive
Just need one sip, baby, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you

Is it possible there's a kiss that's so divine?
Or am I just too fool? Is it all in my mind?
Is there something chemical? A scientist might say
Well, love must be drug to make me feel this way

'Cause love is my permission to be who I am
Knowing the business 'cause you understand
Freedom to breathe, oh baby, love is you

Love's like a kiss when the sun goes down
Holds me tight when no one's around
Love's what I wanna hold on to, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you

Love is kind, it makes me stronger
I don't have to look no longer
You're the one I'd cling to, love is you

When the chips are down
Love will stick around
I'm so glad I found, love is you

Masters have tried to clarify
Love's quite simple, it's just my guide
A perfect definition
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you, is you

3. IN THIS FOR YOU




Come over my man's crib
candles by the moonlit windows
Barry on the CD
Lavender and Rose leaves
Dinner by the fireplace
Cajun Salmon my baby made it
I love when my baby's with me
I'm so glad he loves me
Money comes and money goes
Baby chases money like it's going outta style
Is the paper chase worth while?

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost, we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

Call me from the office babe
work is crazy, sleepless nights
I wish you were here by my side
I want you more than money
took a day off from the game
took me to the movies, dinner
not like when I'm with my winner
I love it when you're with me
Holdin close to teddy bear

nights without you feel so lonely
wishin you was here to hold me
love means more than money

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost, we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

Nothing compares to how you hold me (nothing compares to you)
Nothing compares to how you love me, Oh baby (nothing compares to you)
It's you I need, No not the dough oh! (it's you I need oh)

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

4. FOREVER MINE

One look in your gentle eyes
Let me know I would spend my life
All my years in your gentle arms
All my days with your love so warm
One sound of your precious voice
Let me know that I had no choice
I knew I'd be forever yours

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you}

I love you like the king you are
I love you like the sky loves stars
I love you like the grass loves green
I love you the way you love me
Never a day I thought I'd see
The way true love would be
I know I'll be forever yours

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine

Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you yes I do}

I love you and I need you
I adore you
Your so sweet
I'm here and you'll be there for it
Forever you and me

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{There are only three words I will say}

All of my life
I will love you
Oh I promise
I will need you
All of my, all of my life
Yeah
All of my life I will spend my life with the one
Who I love
I love you and I need you yes
All of my life

5. IS THIS THE WAY LOVE FEELS


[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Wooten, Kelvin;]

What's the feeling that I get
Every single time I look deep into your eyes?
What's the tingle that I feel
At the touch of your hand up and down my spine?

What's so funny, is my belly tryna tell me
Something feels like butterflies?
What's the feeling, what's the tingle, what's the tinkle
What's the world got for you and I?

(And I swear it's real)
Yes, it is, can't nobody ever tell me otherwise
(And I swear I feel)
No, I can't deny what I'm feeling inside

Is this the way love feels?
Have I found it for real?
What will time reveal?
Is this the way love feels?

Every time I hear your voice
Well, it seems I have no choice but to be amazed
It's like music to my hears
How I really love to hear everything you say

Does love really have a way of speaking
In a very odd conventional way?
What's a voice, what's a touch
Tell me is it really love, does it feel this way?

(And I swear it's real)
Yes, it is, can't nobody ever tell me otherwise
(And I swear I feel)

No, I can't deny what I'm feeling inside

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Have I found it for real?
(Oh, oh, for real)

What will time reveal?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Oh, I always knew love would take hold of me soon
But I never knew just how deep
I never knew just how sweet this love would be
It looks like I have got my eye on something real
So real, so real just between you and me

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Have I found it for real?
(Oh, oh, for real)

What will time reveal?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh, for real)

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Is this the way love feels?
Is this the way love feels?

6. BEST OF ME



Saw you again at the parlor
Crossing the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar off
I know that she wore a ring

I found a smile against my will
Wish it was genuine
I put away my desire
No more "in love with you still"

Look I'm moving on, oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Can't be the time to be begging
Can't be the time to plead
My momma made me much wiser
What's mine will be just for me

I'm trying hard just to focus
I'm trying hard to sleep
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When its my time it will be

Look I'm moving on, oh oh oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh my why have I been just so foolish all this time
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess its time to find the best of me

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh oh oh
The best of me

7. ANOTHER ONE



I'm Done, Done, Done

[Verse 1]
Riddle me this, When you be wit yo friends, laughing and joking and loud talking
Why you get quiet soon as I walk in the room?
Riddle me this, You be going out wit yours, but expect me to stay in doors
You don't ever want me to hang out wit my crew

Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman things
So if you're gonna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (on to another one)

[Verse 2]
Cause I don't play games, ya friends come around you don't act the same
Kissing and hugging then suddenly I'm bugging you (suddenly I'm bugging you)
Well baby that ain't cool, cause I all do, is stay catering to you boy
But you don't wanna treat me like you supposed too


Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman thangs (grown woman thangs)
So if you wanna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

[Bridge]
No more, fooling with you, with you (No more)
I've realized I've got better things to do
Like on to another one...

Oh oh oh ohhohh ohhhhh ohhhh

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

I'm bout to be on to another one, I'm done done done
I'm done done done

8. LIKE A DREAM

[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Jazz, Mo;]

I seen his brother at The Cloud
Looking next to Fly
His sticks was pounding on the drums
When I caught his eye
You know, my gosh, he looked at me

And he smiled at me
And he played to me
And I imagined that he spoke to me

Later on I found his friend
I said, "Do you know that guy?"
He said, "Hold, girl, well, sure I do"
And to my surprise
He's been saying, "Who's that girl?"

And he's feeling you
And he thinks you're cute
And he wants to try and talk to you

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I would have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me

Through the crowd I'd seen a hand
Reaching out to me
I took a chance and took a grab
These hands were soft and sweet
I told him he was beautiful

And he played real sweet
And he smiled at me
And it was so real when he spoke to me

I put his digits in my phone
And I promise I'd call
Ran outside and told my girls
I spoke to drummer boy
I smiled the whole way to the crib

He was feeling me
And he spoke to me
I can't believe he spoke to me

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I would have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me

Oh, my gosh, can you believe it's true?
Mr. Drummer Boy spoke to me, yes, it's true
Maybe soon, he will call me his girl
And I'll call him my boy, you know
He could play the drums for my shows

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I said, I'd have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me, yeah

It's like a, a dream to me
I would have never known
I would have never known
It's like a dream to me
A dream, it's like a dream to me

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I said, I'd have never known
I would have never known

And it's like a dream to me
It's like a dream

9. SO IN LOVE



[Rick Ross:]
Love is a powerful word
And you've been on my mind so much, lately
How can I say this?

I'm always late to diner days
Looking in her face
Marathon love making but she win a race
I live a certain life
It's hard for me to feel them safe
Toni Montana money quit the guard, at the gate.
Greeks and guards on the lawn, own the estate
Versace couches, sandals, candles, and matching plates
This picture is better than Boccia's greatest endeavor
I'm kissing shorty in the rain but I'm making her wetter.

[Chrisette:]
It beats every single time that I see your cell number showing up on my phone...
It beats every single time that you're near me,
I'm not ready yet, just leave me alone...
I feel deep in my veins, trying to say it's ok
But I ain't ready to go...
Without my permission my heart is all on a mission
It's got a mind of it's own

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my
I'm so in love
(And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so
So in love

[Chrisette:]
Pitta, pitta, padda, padda,
Everything is scatta scatta
Something is the matter with me.
Boom like a radio

Loud like a stereo
This is how my heart beats
It's like a broke record, but I can't eject it feels like it's on repeat.
I got a confession
Love is my new obsession
My heart's talking to me
She said: boom boom boom

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus:]
I'm so...
So in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

[Rick Ross:]
I'm chilling court side, Jordan six rings.
You know we court side till we get our 6 rings.
We both on common ground, it ain't a big thing,
But when we come around they make it a big thing.
Still on the block in that drop chicken box,
They asking "what that is?" "is that a different watch?"
When I'm stunt mode, I gotta let the city watch.
Or it's the clear pore jet to a chillin spot.

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so sooo in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

I'm so in love [repeats to the end]

Tell me why I'm living? some days my words seem so in vain.

1. STAND UP FOR LOVE

[Songwriters: Foster-Gillies, Amy S; Foster, David;]

There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such troubled times
And every child that reaches out for someone to hold
For one moment they become my own
And how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on
When every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness or giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and hear me sing
Stand up for love

I'm inspired and hopeful each and every day
That's how I know that things are gonna change
So how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on

When every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness of giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for love

And it all starts right here and it starts right now
One person stand up there and the rest will follow
For all the forgotten, for all the unloved
I'm gonna sing this song

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness of giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and sing
Stand up for love

For love
For love

3. GIRL



[Song writers: Knowles, Beyonce; Beyince, Angela; Robinson, Eddie; Davis, Don; Rowland, Kelendria; Williams, Michelle; Douthit, Patrick; Garrett, Sean;]

Take a minute girl, come sit down
And tell us what's been happening
In your face I can see the pain
Don't you try to convince us that you're happy

We've seen this all before
But he's taking advantage of the passion
Because we've come too far for you to feel alone
You don't let him walk over your heart, I'm telling you

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

See, what y'all don't know about him
Is I can't let him go because he needs me
It ain't really him, it's stress from his job
And I ain't making it easy

I know you see him bugging most of the time
But I know deep inside, he don't mean it
It gets hard sometimes but I need my man
I don't think y'all understand, I'm telling ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
(We understand, don't be ashamed of your friend)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
( I can tell he's been lying to you)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you
(He's not good for you)

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
(Oh girl, I can tell you been crying)

And you needing somebody to talk to
(I can see it in your eyes)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
(I can tell he?s been lying)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you
(I can see it in you)

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
(I know what your feeling girl)
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, take a good look at yourself
He got you going through hell
We ain't never seen ya down like this
What you mean, you don't need us to help
We known each other too well
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girl
And don't you know we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
(I been knowin' you since you was ten
You cannot hide from your friends, girl)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

4. LOSE MY BREATH


[Chorus]
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me Hard, make me lose my breath (Hah Hah)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me Hard, make me lose my breath (Hah Hah)

[Beyonce]
OOOh
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
Now you wanna act like ya don't know what to do
After I done everything that you asked me
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
Moved so fast baby now I can't find you

OOOh
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like it can't come through
All them lies like you could satisfy me,
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel, but you can't drive me

[Chorus]

[Kelly]
OOOh
Two things I don't like when I tryin' to get my groove

Is a partna that meets me only half way and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
To put it on me deep in the right direction

OOOh
You understand the facts that I'm tryin' to give to you
You movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
I know the difference of a man and an adolescent
It ain't you boo, so get to steppin'

[Chorus x2]

[Michelle@kelly hook]
If you can't make me say OOO
Like the beat of this drum
Why you ask for some and you really want none
If you can't make me say OOO
Like the beat of this groove

[All]
You don't have no business in this here's your papers
Baby you are dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed

[Chorus x2]

5. BUG-A-BOO


[Songwriters: Briggs, Kevin; Parker, Lawrence; Buruss, Kandi; Knowles, Beyonce; Luckett, Le Toya; Roberson, La Tavia; Rowland, Kelendria;]

(Everybody on the floor)
East Side
(Everybody on the floor)
South Side
(Everybody on the floor)
North Side
(Everybody on the floor)
West Side
(Everybody on the floor)

We told you we was gonna give it to you raw
(Everybody on the floor)
We ain't do it right the first time
(Everybody on the floor)
We gonna do it right the second time
(Everybody on the floor)

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my E-mails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Come on, come on, come on
Yo who's buggin' who? Destiny is comin' through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder 'bout to hit y'all with the new groove

It's not hot that you be callin' me
Stressin' me, pagin' my beeper
You're just non stop and it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages every 10 minutes

And then you stop by, when I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cuz 20 minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

So what, you're talkin' 'bout your "Feeling you's"
So what, never told you to buy me shoes
So what, now you're rolling with an attitude
Plus the word on the streets is you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Come on, come on, come on
Yo who's buggin' who? Destiny is comin' through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder 'bout to hit y'all with the new groove

It's not hot that when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot that I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down

You need to chill out with that mess
'Cuz you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cuz every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

So what? Ain't even like I knew you
So what? Tell your peoples I ain't feelin' you
So what? Don't call me I'll call you
'Cuz cupid ain't shoot me, he shot you

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Yo, Clef
What up? What up?
We ain't heard from you in a while
So break it down for the cheerin', Latin style

Destiny's Child remade numero uno
You wanna hate me now like Nas
'Cuz you dos, tres, quartro
Thugs still in the dance

Ain't no need to bust you're AK
We all can get along or we can do it Carlito's Way
'Cuz even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, got the Lord present, standin' Eagle

Way before birth I had this whole book memorized
I roll with murderers that just got baptized
I be allowed to see through the eyes of Zion
The New Jerusalem so sing the hook and stop buggin'

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Hey, yo
It's the Refugee Camp

So prove yourself to me and the girl that your playin'
Why don't you say the things that you said to me yesterday?

How would you like it if I came over wit my clique?
Don't try to change it, now see you got to bounce
When 2 seconds ago you said you just got in the house
It's so hard to believe that you were home by yourself
When I just heard the voice, heard the voice of someone else
Just this question, why do you feel you got to lie?

You caught up in your game, you cannot say my name

I know you sayin' I'm assuming things
Something's goin' down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange

9. EMOTION

It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

10. BILLS, BILLS, BILLS.


[Verse 1 Beyonce:]

At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

[Kelly:]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

[Chrous:]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

[Verse 2 Beyonce:]
Now you've been maxing out my card (card)

Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But instead you're headin' to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friends that you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone (phone)
Callin' whoever that you think's at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your momma's number's here more than once

[Kelly:]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another

1. UNSPOKEN

I think we'll never change
and our hearts will always separate.
Forget about you
I'll forget about you.
The things we never say
Are better often left alone.
Forget about you
I'll forget about this time.

But it's the same old situation
We made it through this far.
We watched the rockets kiss the sky.
I saw the flames burn out in your eyes.

Nothing that I do
Will ever be enough for you
Whatever I do, whatever I do.
Take me as I am
I'll never be the other man.
Forget about you
I'll forget about this time.

So won't you save this conversation
And find a better time?
Don't you ever understand
[
That if it hurts I'll do whatever I can?

And if it's set in motion
I'll watch it all pass by.
And leave the rest unspoken
I'll never change my mind.

Leave it unspoken, leave it unspoken,
Leave it unspoken, leave it unspoken now. (x4)

So just let me go

2. BETTER THAN LOVE

Every second is a lifetime
And every minute more brings you closer to God
And you see nothing but the red lights
You let your body burn like never before.

And it feels better than love.
Yeah it feels better than love.

Every second is a lifetime
And every minute more brings you closer to God
And you see nothing but the red lights
You let your body burn like never before.

And it feels better than love.
Yeah it feels better than love.

Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can run away.
It's not enough.

Another second in the sunshine,
A decade in the dark taking part in a dream.
Have you forgotten what she looks like?
Or do you only see what you want to believe?

Does it feel better than love?
Does it feel better than love?

Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can run away.
It's not enough.
I see the lights through the rain, oh tonight but they never change.
So what is love?

Does it feel better than love?
Does it feel better than love?

Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can run away.
It's not enough.
I see the lights through the rain, oh tonight but they never change.
So what is love?

3. ILLUMINATED

Time waits for no-one,
So do you wanna waste some time tonight?
Don't be afraid of tommorrow,
Just take my hand
I'll make it feel so much better tonight.

Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus,
AHHHHHH AHHHH
We are all Illuminated,
Lights are shining in our faces,
Blinding.

Swim with our sorrows
And try delusion for a while,
It's such a beautiful lie.
You've got to lose inhibition,
Romance your ego for a while,
Come on give it a try.

Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus,
AHHHHHH AHHHH
We are all Illuminated,
Lights are shining in our faces,
Blinding.

We are, we are blinded.
We are, we are blinded.

Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus,
AHHHHHH AHHHH
We are all Illuminated,
Lights are shining in our faces,
Blinding.

We are, we are blinded.
We are, we are blinded.

4. HAPPINESS


Are you looking for happiness?
Are you looking for something better?
Do you ever feel emptiness?
Are you scared it’s gonna last forever?
Don’t give it away, don’t give it away.

I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.

Everybody needs sanctuary.
Everybody needs hope and fear.
Not everybody needs a preacher.
So don’t tell me what you me to hear.
And don’t give it away, don’t give it all away.

I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.

I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I hope you find happiness.

We don’t need your cheap salvation.
We don’t want your sympathy.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
Over and over again.

We don’t need your cheap salvation.
We don’t want your sympathy.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
Happiness.

I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.

I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.

5. WONDERFUL LIFE


[Songwriters: Anderson, Adam; Hutchcraft, Theo;]



On a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night
Susie meets the man of her dreams
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn't mind
He doesn't want the company

But there's something in the air, they share a look in silence
And everything is understood
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand
As the rain puts a tear in his eye

She says, "Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life"

Driving through the city to the Temple Station
Cries into the leather seat
And Susie knows the baby was a family man
But the world has got him down on his knees

So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire
And suddenly he starts to believe
He takes her in his arms and he doesn't know why
But he thinks that he begins to see

She says, "Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life"

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

She says, "Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life"

Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go

Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

She says, "Don't let go
Never give up
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go
Wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful life
Don't let go
Wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful life

Don't let go
Don't let go

6. STAY

My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel.
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you knowts
How it feels to let you go?

You say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

So you change your mind
And say you're mine.
Don't leave tonight
Stay.

Say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.

7. DEVOLUTION

inside the heart of every man
there is so much to understand
and i'm just the same

when all the love has gone away
and passion stares me in the face
could i walk away

ears open
you'll help me to be brave

devotion save me now
i don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
i'll turn temptation down
i'm asking you to take me to safety this time

forgive my thoughts when i'm asleep
forgive these words i'm yet to speak
i feel so ashamed


right now you seem so far away
so much confusion clouds my mind
and i don't know which path to take

ears open
you'll help me to resist

devotion save me now
i don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
i'll turn temptation down
i'm asking you to take me to safety this time

devotion, devotion
i'm a slave onto the mercy of your love
for so long i've been so wrong
i could never live without you

devotion, devotion
take me to safety

[Chorus]
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY
Show me what you got, lil mama
Show me what you got, pretty lady
Show me what you got, shorty
Show me what you got, baby
Hands up and.. waves, waves, waves, waves

[Verse 1]
Give the drummer some
I already gave the summer some
It's the winter's turn
Hovie Hov is the coldest, I'm just getting better with time
I'm like Opus One
Young, no two alike like a snowflake
OK! Show me what you got baby
Words is slurring engine purring
Mami frontin but I'm so determined
Shots of Patron, now she's in the zone
I ain't talking about the two-trhee
Mami in the zone like the homie 2-3
Jordan or James, makes no difference
Boo I'm ballin the same
I am the Mike Jordan of recording
You might want to fallback from recording
But you right it's not important
So it forced him to go for the hype
For being brave and may applaud him
Well misery I will assure them
Oh baby just ignore them
Truth or dare mami listen and learn
I got a drop I just took off the top, it's your turn

[Chorus 2X]

[Verse 2]
H.O.V.A., gold bottles of that ace of spade
Why even fool with these other guys, they all stingy
All these dudes know how to say is gimme
Gimme some ass, gimme some brain
Gimme your number, gimme your name
But if I get one night baby girl I swear
I'll make you tell these other dudes gimme got you here
I'll take you shopping, take long trips
I'll take the cork off, you can take sips
I'll take you there, take my time
Take you clothes off, I'll take off mine
Ma, show me what you got
Hovie in the spot tried to told you I was hot
Tell these other dudes it's a wrap
Get the fuck out the throne you clone, the King's back!
Y'all got less than 2 months to get y'all thing together
Good luck!

[Chorus 2X]

Ladies and gentlemen the most incredible!

Dynasty continues, y'all die
Uh Huh, peace!

3. COME AND GET ME


[Jay-Z]
I remove your roof nigga let the sun shine in
Thirty-eight waist, enough to put one nine in
Really a thirty-six without the gun I'm thin
but when the gat is tucked, I'm fat as fuck
Ignorant bastard, I'm takin it back to day one
No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun
For niggaz that think I spend my days in the sun
well here's the shock of your life, the glock not the mic
Homey I'm not into hype; trust me, I'm still street
You still fuckin up then trust me I still creep
Yeah I know the platinum chain be lookin real sweet
but reach and I bury niggaz sixty feet deep
S dot Carter turn rappers into martyrs
Seperate fathers from they daughters, why bother
I'm a crook like you, I took like you
I disobeyed the law threw out the book like you
How dare you look at Jigga like I'm shook like boo
I keep the fifth with me nigga, come and get me..

COME AND GET ME!
[*gong sounds*] Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-come..
[*bell rings*] COME AND GET ME! Ka-ka-ka-COME AND GET ME! ..
[*bell rings*] COME AND GET ME! Ka-ka-ka..
[*bell rings*] .. Ka-ka-ka-ka-come
[*bell rings*] .. come and get me COME AND GET ME

[Jay-Z]
Don't know what y'all niggaz is
tryin to do but I don't like it
Yeah, straight gangster shit
Heyyyy, uh-huh-uh-uhh gangster shit
Uhh, straight gangster nigga
Roc..

Yo, your summer's bout to get hot
Niggaz home from jail and they plottin
Heard about the watch, the Bentley hard-top
The Continental T, got em resentin me
God I work hard, please don't envy me
I paid the cost to be the boss to floss this hard
I can recall a year ago I almost lost this job
All y'all remember is the part about me parkin the hog
What about all them days I was walkin my dogs?
Barkin at broads, but they never hollered back
And if they did all they said was, "Where dem dollaz at?"
Imagine, bein skinny growin up around broader cats
The quiet assassin demeanor of them college cats
until I got a gat and loudly start poppin back
Round the way, niggaz called me Bobby Bouchete
Now all I hear is whispers of what you gon' do to Jay
How y'all gon' stick me up, take my jewels away
Pull out your gat, car jack me take my cruise away
Well I got news for y'all fools today, hey..

[Chorus: Jay-Z]

I got, shots to give come and get me nigga
Y'all wanna rob the kid? Come and get me nigga
I won't, part with this come and get me nigga
I worked, hard for this come and get me nigga
I got, shots to give, COME AND GET ME..
COME AND GET ME..

[Jay-Z]
I made it so, you could say Marcy and it was all good
I ain't crossover I brought the suburbs to the hood
Made em relate to your struggle, told em bout your hustle
Went on MTV with do-rags, I made them love you
You know normally them people wouldn't be fuckin witchu
Til I made em understand why you do what you do
I expected to hear, "Jay, if it wasn't for you.."
But instead, all I hear is buzzin in your crew
How y'all scheamin, tryin to get accustomed to my moves
So y'all could tape my mouth, stake out my house
But I got pride I'm a nigga first
I gotta cock back and pull the trigger first
That's how Jigga work
The funny thing; I represent y'all everytime I spit a verse
and that's the shit that hurts
But hey, I got my mind right, got my nine right here
So when y'all feel that the time is right..

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z]
Aiy yo yo, aiy yo yo
It's only fair that I warn ya, rap's my new hustle
I'm treatin it like the corner, fuck with me if you wanna
My game change but my mindframe remains the same
I gotta protect what's mine
Shit I started from nothin; zero, zip
I made my way hustlin, I don't owe niggaz shit
I'm paranoid now, so I keep the gun gripped
Cats I played skelly with? Niggaz done flipped
I keep a banger in the ankle, one in the hip
Two in the stash, one come up when I shift
I keep one under the chair where I sit
I even got a gun in the hair in the bun of my bitch
Ask Big; everytime he'd come to my crib
he'd find another gun that I hid
I'm ready to make this one of the, hottest summer there is
Everyday like a hundred-and-six.. shit..

[Chorus 2X]

[Jay-Z]
Motherfuckers!

4. ANYTHING


Anything you want girl
I'll bet you never seen it like this
Just stay up on that floor girl
And I'll grant all your wishes
You know, you know, you know,
You know, you know, you know,
You hot
Especially when you bounce, bounce
I really like it when you bounce, bounce

[Verse One]

Ooh you so nasty
Amateur pole dancing
Come and get this cash from me
They call me rain man
She tried to rain dance
Money so long it will drown you girl
Buried under so much stacks
They had to pull back about 50 thou
Before they found ya girl
I brought book bags of that bankroll
I'm a D boy baby they know
I'm an original D boy
They go bankrupt if they try to keep up
No roof in my car but I got mirrors on the ceiling
I'll spread bread on the bed
Ever had sex on a million
Tell me

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

Red light, TLC
Through the left eye
My POV

On the eye chat
How's that for computer love
She rolled her eyes back
I'm like ooh you're so nasty
You turned my Maybach back seat
Into the Hotel De'Paris
I ain't gotta go
Down to the go-go
You got a private show that's like magic city
I got stacks of fifties
I got piles of hundreds
That's role play
Act like you want it
You know you know you hot like fire
You throw that body
I'll throw them dollars
But not them 1's and not no 5's
Have you ever seen a Grover Cleveland?
That's a thousand dollars

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]

Girl
You know
You hot like fire
As I blow some dough
You might retire
Take it slow like Ne-Yo
When shots was fired
In the Matrix have patience
Got lots of bottles
Rock-a-bye baby JAY-Z got notes like Mariah
Got no 1's got no 5's
My D notes are higher
I'm a D boy, they decoys
They money is lighter
Like Nicole Richie
Roll with me
They on the diet baby

[Chorus 2x]

6. YOUNG FOR EVER


Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the sky
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forevery young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forevery young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, forever

[Jay-z sings]
So we livin life like a video
Where the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champaign is always cold
and the music is always good
and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
and they hop they pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
without a wrinkle in today
cuz there is no tomorrow
just a picture perfect day
that last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
Because all we have to do is hit rewind
so lets just stay in the moment smoke some weed drink some wine
reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind
leave a mark they can't erase. Neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut
I'll be fine
I'm forever young



[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,

Forever, forever

[Jay-z sings]
Fear not where, fear not why, fear not much while we're alive
Life is for living not living uptight
Until you're somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die I'll be alive for a million years bye bye are not for legends I'm forever young my name shall survive
Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, My name shall be passed down to generations while debatin' up in barber shops
Young slung, hung here, Showed that a nigga from here, With a little ambition, just what we can become here.
And as the father pass the story down to his son's ear Young get younger every year,yeah
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know, Don't ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby

7. DIAMOND IS FOR EVER

Can you hear me now? Good! (Blueprint 2 baby!)
The best of times, it was the worst of times (aoww)
It's "The Gift & the Curse"

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
R.O.C. YEAH, number one click HERE
If you represent US, throw them diamonds up YEAH
Now let's be CLEAR, I ain't goin no-WHERE
Now that you KNOW, holla at your boy
HOV'.. (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov')

[overlapping first Chorus]
Yeah, Roc-A-Fella Records
You know what diamond is
We ain't goin nowhere, put your diamonds up

[Jay-Z]
Standin in my b-boy stance
Free, Beans, Memphis where you at nigga?
(Right here) Snatch Cam and it's a rap
This here rap belong to us, nobody strong as us, it's a fact
Hold up I'm just warmin up, gimme a second to get it back
Young Chris, Neek what? Oschino and Sparks
Next summer's yo' summer, tear this motherfucker up
Young is eternal, my young'uns'll burn you
"The Blueprint" birthed, nigga I earthed you, you can't be serious
Young cause I'm thirty-two, dressed like I'm twenty-two
Flow like a 18, do what I wanna do
Goin on my 8th ring, got Phil Jackson's and
flow is black magic, I'm at it again
Rose Bowl with black karats, "Horse & Carriage" to spend
like Mason Betha, chasin this cheddar, to the end
of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know
What can I say but live for today, HOV'!

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z]

Yeah, "The Blueprint 2" homey, follow the moves
You put on two tube socks, you couldn't walk in my shoes
I was dealt a bad hand, fuck what else could I do
but keep somethin up my sleeve that'll help me through
But can you believe, everywhere I'm at, models come through
Cat-fightin, cat-walkin, it happens often
It's true how society don't want me to move
into the penthouse building with spectacular views
They're like uhh, "He's a menace he could never be a tenant"
I'm like ooh, what's a young nigga to do?
I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't
give a fuck we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as fuck
Old lady, don't blow my high
'specially if you don't know my life, don't make me bring
Sharpton in it cause I'm dark-skinneded or
dude with the 'fro and the Rainbow Coalition, I'ma
victim of a single parent household, born in a mousehole
Mousetrap, niggaz wanna know
How so, how Jay get up out that, here, yeah
I snatched purses I per-se-vered, yeah
I had work, fiends purchased, it was clear
I was out there sellin hope for despair, but stop there
I swear, I only make good from my mouth to God's ears
Had to get out the hood
And I can't justify genocide
But I was born in the city where the skinny niggaz die
Born in the city where the skinny niggaz ride
And as a skinny nigga I had beef with high size

[Chorus]

8. ON TO THE NEXT ONE


Swizz Beats -Chorus)
I got a million ways to get it
Choose one (choose one)
Hey, bring it back (bring it back)
Now double your money and make a stack

I’m on to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one

Hold up, freeze

Somebody bring me back some money please,

(Jay-Z)
Hov on that new shit n-ggas like how come
N-ggas want my old sh-t, buy my old album
N-ggas stuck on stupid, I gotta keep it moving
N-ggas make the same sh-t, me I make the blueprint

Came in Range, hopped out the Lexus
every year since i’ve bin on that next sh-t
traded in the gold for the platinum rolex’s
Now a n-gga wrist match the status of my records

Used to rock a throwback, ballin on the corner
Now I rock a tailored suit looking like a owner
No im not a Jonas brother I’m a grown up
No I’m not a virgin I use my cojones

I move forward the only direction
cant be scared to fail Search and perfection
Gotta keep it fresh even when we sexing
but don’t be mad at him when he’s on to the next one

Freeze

(Chorus)

[Verse 2]
F-ck a throwback jersey cos we on to the next one,
and f-ck that autotune cos we oohhhhn,
and n-ggas don’t be mad cos it’s all about progression,
loiterers should be arrested, I used to drink Kristal,

muthaf-ckers racist, so I switched Gold Bottles on to that spade sh-t,
you gon have another drink or you just gon babysit,
on to the next one, somebody call da waitress,
Baby i’m a boss, i dunno what they do,
I don’t get dropped, I dropped the label,
World can’t hold me, too much ambition,
always knew it’d be like this when I was in the kitchen,
n-ggas in the same spots, me I’m dodging rain drops,
meaning i’m on vacay, chillin on a big yacht,
yeah i go ton flip flops, white louie boat shoes,
you should grow the f-ck up,
come here let me coach you,
Hold up,

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Uh, Big pimpin in the house now,
bought the land, tore the muthaf-cking house down,
bought the car, tore the muthaf-cking roof off,
ride clean, i don’t ever take the shoes off,
bought the jeep, tore the muthaf-cking doors off,
foot out dat b-tch about to sh-t like a skateboard,
navigation on tryin to find my next thrill,
feelin myself i don’t even need an x pill,
can’t chill but my neck will,
haters really gon be mad off my next deal,
uh, i dont know why they really worry bout my pockets,
meanwhile i had Oprah chillin in the projects,
had her out in Bed Stuy chillin on the steps,
drinking quarter waters gotta be the best,
MJ at summerjam, Obama on the text,
y’all should be afraid of what I’m gonna do next.
Hold up,
[Chrous]

9. BLUE MAGIC

Roc-a-fella records
The imperial Skateboard P
Great Hova
Y'all already know what it is (Oh Shit!)

C'mon!
[Verse 1]
Yeah
So what if you flip a couple words
I could triple that in birds
open your mind you see the circus in the sky
I'm Ringling brothers Barnum and Bailey with the pies
No matter how you slice it I'm your motherfucking guy
Just like a B-Boy with 360 waves
Do the same with the pot, still come back beige.
Whether writers are par, whether powder the jar
Whip it around, it still comes back hard.
So easily do I w-h-i-p
My repitition with wrists will bring you kilo biggers.
I got kreole C.O. bitches for my niggas who slipped, became prisoners
Trees taped to the visitors
You already know what the business is
Unnecessary commissary, boy we live this shit
Niggas wanna bring the 80s back
It's okay with me, that's where they made me at
Except I don't write on the wall
I write my name in the history books, hustling in the hall (hustling in the hall)
Nah, I don't spin on my head
I spin work in the pots so I can spend my bread

[Chorus (Pharrell)]
And I'm getting it, I'm getting it
I aint talking about it, I'm living it
I'm getting it, straight getting it
Ge-ge-ge-get get get it boy
(Don't waste you time, fighting the life stay your course, and you'll understand)
Get it boy

[Verse]
It's '87 state of mind that I'm in (mind that I'm in)
In my prime, so for that time, I'm Rakim (I'm Rakim)
If it wasn't for the crime that I was in
But I wouldn't be the guy whose rhymes it is that I'm in (that I'm in)
No pain, no profit, P I repeat if you show me where the pot is (pot is)

Cherry M3's with the top back (top back)
Red and green G's all on my hat
North beach leathers, matching Gucci sweater
Gucci sneaks on to keep my outfit together
Whatever, hundred for the diamond chain
Can't you tell that I came from the dope game
Blame Reagan for making me into a monster
Blame Oliver North and Iran-Contra
I ran contraband that they sponsored
Before this rhyming stuff we was in concert

[Chorus (Pharrell)]
And I'm getting it I'm getting it
I aint talking about it, I'm living it
I'm getting it, straight getting it
Ge-ge-ge-get get get it boy
(Don't waste you time, fighting the life, stay your course, and you'll understand)
Get it boy

[Verse 3]
Push (push) money over broads, you got it, fuck Bush
Chef (chef), guess what I cooked
Baked a lot of bread and kept it off the books
Rockstar, look, way before the bars my picture was getting took
Feds, they like wack rappers, tried as they may, couldn't get me on the hook
D.A. wanna indict me
Cause fish scales in my veins like a pisces
The pyrex pot, rolled up my sleeves
Turn one into two like a Siamese
Twin when it end, I'm a stand as a man never dying or admiring these
Last of a dying breed, so let the champagne pop
I partied for a while now I'm back to the block

[Chorus (Pharrell)]
And I'm getting it I'm getting it
I aint talking about it, I'm living it
I'm getting it, straight getting it
Get get get get get get get it boy
(Don't waste you time, fighting the life, stay your course, and you'll understand)
Get it boy
