(Intro:)
Hey Mmmm hmmm, Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me, listen to me Listen to me,listen to me,listen to me,listen... I've been talking to this man He's been saying what I like and He makes me smile, When I'm down,so down He says sweet things in my ear All the things that I needed to hear But that's as far as it's gone I promise,I promise But I enjoy it,I love it so Cause it seems like I'm always alone You're at arms reach But baby, Where are you? Where are you? Cause I got this fire Sweet and true But I'm cold as ice around you (Chorus:) Cause I'm lonely Whenever you're around Cause I'm lonely Whenever you're around (Instrumental Break) Whoa,whoa,whoa What happened to the wonderful thing we had It seems like you're missing in action And I'm tired,I'm tired I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired,I'm tired I don't wanna lose this good life But I ain't scared If I'm going to be the only one participating in this (Chorus) |

First thing when I wake up and right
Before I close my eyes at night I think, sense, feel man like I'm Under some kind of microscope Satellites over my head, transmitters In my dollars Hawkin', watchin' Scopin', jockin' Scrutinizin' me Checkin' to see what I'm doin', Where I be, who I see, how and Where and with whom I make my money What is this? "Excuse me Miss. May I have your phone number and social security?" Who me? When all I came to do is buy my double or triple A batteries? Please.I decline. Watchin' me Look here at this watch of mine Gotta open it up Don't know who's been in it Trackin' where I go Findin' out all my bin ness Sa cure a ty Video cameras locked on me In every dressing room on every floor in every store Damn can I get that democracy and equality and privacy You busy watchin' me watchin' me That you're blind baybe You neglect to see the drugs comin' into my community Weapons comin' into my community Dirty cops in my community and you keep sayin' that I'm free And you keep sayin' that I'm free and you keep sayin' that I'm free Busy watchin’ me Watchin’ me Watchin’ me I ain’t got no bars to this cage If I’m gon stay here Gon build me a lead house Keep them satellites out Direct t.v Am I watchin’ it or is it watchin’ me Man I don’t really know But I feel like feel like I’m being scoped cha’ll, Watched ya’ll Somethan ain’t right Somethan ain’t right And you keep sayin’ that I’m free and you keep sayin’ that I’m free |

Don't,don't,don't,don't, Don't,(don't,don't) don't,don't,don't, (don't don't) It's bad,It's bad Sometimes s**t is bad... (don't) Look, Don't feel no pity for me Cause I'm going through a couple things, Life means change, That's the way it goes,goes All my life I had a constant burning A strong deep,desire An aching ambiguous,yearning,yearning, yearning For something better For something bigger For something wider For something higher And lots of regrets Cause I ain't seem to found it yet I've been searching around the world Never knowing what to expect I get sad sometimes Yes I be mad sometimes Cause I'm out here on the grind Making mine And I still can't seem to find What I've been looking for Opened so many doors For real,yo I just wanna be loved... [Chorus:] I just wanna be loved Like everybody else does I just wanna be loved I just wanna be loved [Repeat x4] I just wanna be loved [Chorus] |

[chorus]
If you want it to happen baybay Hold fast and believe You can make it happen baybay You can be where u pleaze All you gotta do is try Then try once again Then try a few more times Then try after then When I was a little girl Raised on N. Philly streets I'd hear my people say Ghetto'z all they'd be But my mommy would hold me Quietly give me peace She'd look me in my eyes and she'd say to me Chorus As a teenager I dreamed to see the world But how could I do this me a poor black girl And just when my will was lost And all hope seemed set free I'd remember my mama's face and her tellin' me Chorus Try try try Try try try Try try try Try and try again (repeat) Now as a grown woman I still stumble and fall But wit a lot of faith and the same amount of effort I can withstand it all I dun see some thangs now and been a few places I'm now enjoyin' the beautiful world and the many new faces I say Chorus If you want it to happen baybay 6x |

*The little rain drops fallin' down on me
But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it coming over me The rain gon' come through the window, pain will come Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same old drum Rainy days like the war, use wisdom as a weapon Hold your head up, dry your clothes and keep steppin' Let the children feel the rain, 'cause if they feel the rain From the wetness, they stand to gain I came into the game, it felt like the middle of June Music was warm, artists, like flowers, they bloom Then boom, I shook the room, many felt the thunder My time to shine, did it like summer I wondered if the sun would shine forever Pops said "rain gon' come", to him I said "never" Chedder in the genes, face on screens Got a benz wit' the sheen, but what did it all mean I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin' Platinumn, grammys, famous, but still broke and Not having cash put me in check Yo, the road to the riches is slippery when wet Amongst the fall is where you truly find yourself Ever since then, the rain I never felt Deal wit' it *Repeat (x2) At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurrcaine Her first name still conjuers the rain Vowed to never let nobody ever get me wet Lest we forget, love is a four season concept Many say the rain they can't stand Never let the weather determine the man God has a plan, from it I never ran Follow my heart through the storm, my umbrella in hand I'm Noah, life's my arc forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart Seen the fallen man To dope and liquor brands The devil'll dance to make it rain Bringing the pain Walk through the puddles of struggle on flooded streets Soakin' wet, but mastered the art of peace Through grey skies, I grew wise, on bended knees I knelt Since then, the rain I never felt What's wit' it *Repeat (x2) Sometimes I sit in my room, stuff on my mind Stress, can't rest, so I open the blinds See kids in the streets, runnin' around It wasn't touchin' em, but the rain was comin' down I wondered how, with my mouth wide Reminisce of the key, said I wanna go outside In the rain, to see if the same would happen to me 'Bout that time, God started rappin' to me He said "pain is the mother of change, the rain must flow So the seeds of joy might grow Don't be afraid, find shelter in me The road to greatness, through the valley of adversity" I felt the light as He proceeded to drop the gem These little children, the world we must receive like them I just smiled, and thanked Him for the cards He delt And since then, the rain I never felt What's wit' it *Repeat (x6) |

Verse 1
Here you go, jacket down Timbs off Remote control And there you go Off into outerspace Distant from me Where do you go? Your eyes are closed I'd like to know I stop, sit next to you because you seem so blue, And pray nothings broke Baby I don't want to see us burn down And go up in smoke No, no, no, no, no Chorus Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me Verse 2 But when I push Begins the riff You take off and there I sit Alone feeling cold I become antagonist, loud, and wrong Words are thrown I bitch, you moan So I try another tactic Ohh, ohhhh, oh Verse 3 Close your eyes Relax your mind Cool down Just recline We've got the time To let it go Just unwind I'll be cool baby I'll be quiet If you'd like I'll put on your favorite song Sounds nice! Thug passion on ice? Or a glass of Merlot? I'll roll it up If you want I won't front I just need to know What you know Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me baby Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me Dee da da Be bim bim Bum bum bum di di bum didi dow... (continues scatting) Ohh Baby I'm getting so frustrated Aggravated And so it seems that you're hiding something from me And that ain't the way my sweet I'm loving you But I get confused And what makes me fear When your personality is unclear I make things up in my mind You're right next to me But sometimes I feel like you're off away And you just don't have a thing to say But I'm for you So tell me what you Tell me what you're goining through Ahh |

Uno es el numero magico En vida y en muerte, Uno es todo Comprende If I multiply 2 times 2 is it really, really 4 me La [x6] And if I add 5 to get 9 minus 8 that just leaves me Me [x8] So many times I define my pride Through somebody else's eyes (La da da, la da) Then I looked inside and found my own stride, I found the lasting love for me If I'm searching for my spirituality Passionately I must begin with me There's just me... One is the magic number [x2] If I add myself unto myself multiplied times You and yours and you again There's just me And if I divide 8 billion, 48 trillion, 98 zillion There is, there is just me If I subtract one plus me to the 5th degree, Use any theorem There's just me There's just me... One is the magic number [x2] Me, me, me, me... [Adlib to end] |

I gotta admit sometimes I feel week for loving you the way I do
It's beyond me I can't control it or force it to be, you know, what I want it to be I think about you so much when I'm with you and when I'm not It's deep, the way, just looking in your eyes just changes my whole perspective Nothing is more beautiful than loving you, holding you being next to you Kissing youir lips taking my time with you Nothing is more beautiful than loving you Holding you being next to you Moving my hips Moving in time with you Put of all the things in the world, god gave us to each other It's amazing You are the king I always imagined This is the bes time of my life. |

That feelin... That feelin... the kind that don't wash away with soap. So sweet to me... Mmmmm......The kind of feeling I need... 2 get me thru my darkest days... For you I prayed.... What you do is Crazy baby, Not like you belong in an asylum /Crazy baby Like the sun in the morning and the moon at night, Like the rain falling from the sky. Like the trees growing from the ground, I'm astounded baby.. by your love for me, and you're touchin me, and you're trustin me.. like you do, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-wooo. Even now, I still feel that feeling....... Although, we've grown..... We're still on the same side Of the proverbial road..... Heading in the same direction I'm so glad to know.... With you I spend my time... What you do is Crazy baby, Not like you belong in an asylum /Crazy baby Like the sun in the morning and the moon at night, Like the rain falling from the sky. Like the trees growing from the ground, I'm astounded baby.. by your love for me, and you're touchin me, and you're trustin me.. like you do, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-wooo.

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me Love rain down on me, on me, down on me Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees He was brown, deep Said he wanted to talk about my mission Listen to my past lives. (Word?) Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy Talked about Moses and Mumia Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell-topped Adidas He was fresh, like summer peaches Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm At night we would watch the stars And he would physically give me each and every one I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy I felt dizzy and so near heaven and miles between my thighs Better than love, we made delicious He me had, had me he He had me tongue tied I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts I was his sharp, his horn section His boom and his bip And he was my love Love rain down on me, on me, down on me The rain was fallin' and, and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest And I was his faithful concubine Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens The mistake was made Love slipped from my lips Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap And us became new Now me non-clarivoyant and in love Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible The rain was falling And I couldn't see the season changing And the vibe slipping off it's axis Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato (Repeat 1 in background) The rain was falling and I could not see That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized And left to drown in his sunny afternoon Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody Love rain down on me, on me, down on me Love rain down on me, on me, down on me [Mos Def] I stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass The sun beat between my shoulders like carnival drums I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow So then I could really be fly And then she arrived Like day break inside a railway tunnel Like the new moon, like a diamond in the mines Like high noon to a drunkard, sudden She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature Her skinny canvas for ultraviolet brushstrokes She was the sun's painting She was a deep cognac color Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city Her lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet And full for her mouth to hold I said, "You are the beautiful, distress of mathematics." I said, "For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry I would make the sky shed all of it's stars like rain And I would clasp the constellations across your waist And I would make the heavens your cape And they would be pleased to cover you They would be pleased to cover you May I please, cover you, please" |
