1. I AM NOT MY HAIR

(feat. Akon)

[Talking:]
Is that India.Arie? What happened to her hair? Ha ha ha ha ha
Dat dad a dat da [4x] Dad a ooh

[Verse 1]
Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter
At fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and went all natural
February two thousand and two
I went and did
What I had to do
Because it was time to change my life
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dread lock all gone
I looked in the mirror
For the first time and saw that HEY....

[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

[Talking:]
What'd she do to her hair? I don't know it look crazy
I like it. I might do that.
Umm I wouldn't go that far. I know .. ha ha ha ha

[Verse 2]
Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath and say HEY....

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am expressing my creativity..
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Verse 3]
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh
On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY...

[Chorus 2x]

[Ad lib]
If I wanna shave it close
Or if I wanna rock locks
That don't take a bit away
From the soul that I got
Dat da da dat da [4x]
If I wanna where it braided
All down my back
I don't see what wrong with that
Dat da da dat da [4x]

[Talking:]
Is that India.Arie?
Ooh look she cut her hair!
I like that, its kinda PHAT
I don't know if I could do it.
But it looks sharp, it looks nice on her
She got a nice shaped head
She got an apple head
I know right?
It's perfect.

2. CAN I WALK WITH YOU

I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from all I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

[Chorus:]
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life (fades away)

You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you.
This feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too.
You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you.
If you want to be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to.

[Chorus]

Now everyday ain't gonna be like the summers day.
Being in love it really ain't like the movies screen.
But I can tell you all the drama aside you
And I can find what the worlds been looking for forever.
Friendship and love together.

[Chorus]

Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that the world stops spinning.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that my heart stops beating.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Can I walk with you
Till the day that the birds no longer take flight
Till the moon is underwater
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

This is the moment I've been waiting for
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

You are everything I've been looking for
Can I walk with you
Creative intellectual
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you as your wife

3. COMPLICATED MELODY

If he were a color
He'd be a deep dark forest green
If he were a car
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number
He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind
If were an animal
He's be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometimes

But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key

But he means the world to me

If he were a building
He'd be a beautiful cathedral
Cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance
He'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango

But if here a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key

But he means the world me

He ain't the reasoning for the sun and the moon
He is the reason for this here tune

Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)
Said he means the world to me
Me me me yeah
He means the world to me yeah
COmplicated melody that complicated fellow he
He's a complicated melody
I almost can not sing it on key

4. READY FOR LOVE

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready

5. INTRO LOVING

Oh God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
The courage to change the things that I can
The wisdom to know the difference
Oh ooh and God give me the courage to love with an open heart,
An open heart, an open heart I wanna love with an open heart
Oh ooh oh with an open heart

VIDEO


6. GOD IS REAL

[Verse 1]
Sweetest honey to the brightest flower the largest plant
Into the smallest atom, snow flakes in the bird kingdom,
Smaller than the eye can see,
Bigger than the mind can concieve. (oh)
Heard a man on the radio today,
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say.
[Bridge]
How can he not believe that God is real,
I don't understand how he could feel that way. When
There's earth air water and fire.
So many different flowers, sunshine and rainshower,
So many differnt crystals and hills and volcanos.
[Chorus]
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
(I know this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
That's how I know that God is real.
[Verse 2]
In Saint Lucia, I jumped in the water.
For the first time I understood its power.
As I swam, I was cleansed.
If I had any doubts, this experience cleared them.
[Bridge]
Now I know for sure that God is real.
I know that it's the truth by the way it feels (uh-huh)
Cause I saw starfish and sponges,
Fish and black trumpets,
So many different colors I stayed
Out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction,
Of the deep of the deep,
Of the great blue wide.
It Brought a tear to my eye.
[Chorus]
[Break]
We're made of the same stuff as the moon and stars.
The ocean's salt water just like my tears are.
You feel me the sun rises and sets everyday without fail
[Chorus]
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real

Earth, air, water, and fire
Earth, air, water, and fire
Earth, air, water, and fire
That's how i know that God is real

7. THE HEART OF THE MATTER

[originally performed by Don Henley]

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the wall they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

I’ve Seen: Money come between my best friend and me
I’ve Seen: Old friend become new enemies
I’ve Been: Through a couple of litigation
I’ve Been: Through character assassination.

They Try To Put This Stick In Between My Wheels
But They Can’t Stop My Motivation (Nothing Will…)

Though I walk through the Valley where the shadow of death is…
I fear no evil cause I’m protected.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER
CAUSE I’M WALKING WITH THE HEAVENLY FATHER
AND I DO BELIEVE I’M GOING TO PROSPER
CAUSE I’M WALKING WITH THE PRAYERS OF MY MOTHER.

You won’t get the best of me even though you broke my heart….
I’m gone pick up the pieces. ( 2X)

I Was Thinking: Maybe this isn’t the life for me.
I Was Thinking: Maybe I should leave the music industry
I’ve Been: Betrayed by the people I trusted
I’ve Been: Oh…seriously disgusted.

They Try To Put This Stick In Between My Wheels
But They Can’t Stop My Motivation (Nothing Will…)

Though I walk through the Valley where the shadow of death is…
I fear no evil cause I’m protected.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER,
CAUSE I’M WALKING WITH THE HEAVENLY FATHER~
AND I DO BELIEVE I’M GOING TO PROSPER
CAUSE I’M WALKING WITH THE PRAYERS OF MY MOTHER.

You won’t get the best of me even though you got my money ….

MC Lyte Mix:

You Can’t Get The Best Of Me… Cause Of My Destiny
Not To Be Less Than Me …But To Be More.
So, Don’t Question Me..
I Came And I Conquered, I Soared
To New Heights And Still I Explored
In My Fight To Survive,
Lyte Is Too Right…
Keep My Eyes On New Sights
I Continue To Plight
So, When Try To Hurting Me
Even Deserting Me…
Know That I Am Designed To Overcome Adversity~
Want To Bring Out The Worst In Me …IT WON’T HAPPEN!
Because I Take Responsibility For My Actions.
My Tenacity…Well It Has To Be Everlasting…
Cause Even When Comes To Backstabbers…I’M LAUGHING!

You won’t get the best of me even though broke my heart ….
I’m gone pick up the pieces.
You won’t get the best of me even though you got my money ….
I’m gone pick up the pieces. (2X)

You won’t get the best of me because by the grace of GOD ….
I’m gone pick up the pieces. ( 4X)

2. ME

Everything around you see
The Ankhs, the wraps, the plus degrees
And yes even the mysteries
Its all me
Sometimes it hard to move you see
When you growing publicy
But if I have to chose between
I chose me

Had 2 babies different dudes
And for them both my luv was true
This is my last interview, oooh
Hey there's me, ooh
This year I turned 36
Damn it seems it came so quick
My ass and legs have gotten thick yea
Its all me
I use to pray to God above
But now Im filled with so much luv
But even if the world cant see
Its still me
Will I escape this vanity?
Or will I keep on smoking trees?
But I'll just let it go and be, be, be Me

Ah, leave it alone babe
Well well well
Ah oh, leave it alone babe
Just being me
Ah, leave it alone babe
Well well well
Ah oh, leave it alone babe
Just being me

Sometimes I dont know what to say
So many leaders to obey
But I was born on saviors day, yes
So I chose me
And in the world of greed and hate
They may try to erase my face
But millions spring up in my place
Ooh, believe in me
As sure is all and all is one
We all should grow before its done
So I salute you Farrakan, yes
Cuz you are me
Before I end this crazy dream
Before I take one for the team
Yo ass done matched the gasoline, yes
That's Collene

4. TWINKLE

They don't know their language
They don't know their God
They take what their given
Even whan it feels Odd
They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing
And we still in this ghetto
So they end up in prisons
They end up in blood

They keep us uneducated,
Sick and depressed
(they end up in blood)
Doctor I'm addicted now
I'm under arrest
(they end up in blood)
We makin' mo' money than a muthaf**ka
(they end up in blood)
With no choices there's no hope for us
(they end up in blood)

Started with a rhyme from old ancent times
Decedents of warlocks,
Witches with ill glitches
Children of the matrix be hittin' them car switches
Seen some Virgin Virgos hanging out with Venus Bitches

Cause
They don't know their language
They don't know their God
They take what their given
Even whan it feels Odd
They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing
And we still in this ghetto
So they end up in prisons
They end up in blood
They keep us uneducated,
Sick and depressed
(they end up in blood)
Doctor I'm addicted now I'm under arrest
(they end up in blood)
We makin' mo' money than a muthaf**ka

With no choices there's no hope for us

6. LOVE OF MY LIFE


[Songwriters: Bahamadia; Smith, B.R.; Stone, Angie; Badu, Erykah; Queen Latifah; Poyser, James Jason;]

Right here, what we gonna do is go back
Way, way, way back

I met him when I was a little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry and he was my first
But in my heart I knew I wasn't the only one
'Cause when the tables turned he had to break up
Whenever I got lonely, I needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine, my friend became my

Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like a simple true love, yeah

A freak, freak ya'll, and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
A freak, freak

Oh, could it be that it was all just simple so then?
A teenage love but you said, "He's just a friend"
He moved around and we kept in touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and we knew we couldn't rush, but
Whenever I got lonely or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine, my friend became my

Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, the one I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like a simple true love, yeah

Y'all know how I met her
We broke up, got back together
To get her back, I had to sweat her
Thought she rolled with bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made it better to grow I had to let her
She needed cheddar and I understood that
Looking for cheese that don't make her a hood rat
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me, it's like that and uh

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I be girl
Love of my life, it don't stop until the break of dawn

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I be girl
Love of my life, it don't stop until the break of dawn

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I
