N'Dea Davenport

Here we are, it's the perfect time
I'll do anything that'll ease your mind let's start with this
I should've told you twice a day
That I'm crazy about your sexy ways so here it is, here it is now baby

After forever
That's when my heart won't find it's way to you, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when my night won't turn to day with you, oh, baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

Tell me how did you ever doubt
That it's you I just can't live without, must I explain?
I can't go more than an hour, you know
Without hearing your voice on the telephone
Say my name, baby you're to blame

After forever
I won't be waiting here when you get home, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when I'll leave you, girl, to be alone, oh baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

After forever
That's when my heart won't find it's way to you, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when my night won't turn to day with you, oh baby

After forever
I won't be waiting here when you get home, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when I'll leave you girl, to be alone, oh baby

The starts won't shine and the moon won't glow
When the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay
Hear to stay baby now

Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It seem to me that we don't always get along
If we are trying now don't seem to try too long
Watching your neighbour seems to fill you with alarm
Just 'cause he's different now
Don't mean he means you harm
City living has got us all pent up inside
When we have problems it seems we all just run and hide
Time to discover why we are feeling this way
Let's let love have its say

I know you need it, brother said he needs it, sister said she needs it,
we're all gonna need it someday
We seem to loose our way, somehow got led astray
That's why I'm here to say, gotta get back get back to love
I know you need it, brother said he needs it, sister said she needs it,
we're all gonna need it someday
We seem to loose our way, somehow got led astray
That's why I'm here to say, gotta get back get back to it now

Trouble started when we don't communicate
We'll build our future now or we can seal our fate
Wasted energy on promises we break
We've wasted chance now, but still it ain't too late
There is a common goal we must all realize
It's time to make a change, in how we live our lives
Time to discover why, we are feeling this way
Let's let love save the day

I know you need it, brother said he needs it, sister said she needs it,
we're all gonna need it someday
We seem to loose our way, somehow got led astray
That's why I'm here to say, gotta get back get back to love
I know you need it, brother said he needs it, sister said she needs it,
we're all gonna need it someday
We seem to loose our way, somehow got led astray
That's why I'm here to say, gotta get back get back to it now

(feat. Main Source)

Main Source forever, crews got to get more clever
Whatever, just have your shit together
Cause it's '91, which means not a thing
Cause for centuries we'll make crews sing
No matter what record label, we stay stable
Pick up the album, we're never on cable
Crews cross over, but not Main Source
I use Simon's guitar strings to floss
Brand New Heavies play the shit that people
Used to listen to in '70 Chevies
So we don't have to loop up a beat to fuck your crew up
Just bring the band, by the way we got Jan
On the drums, Andrew plucks the bass with his thumbs
And Simon, like I mentioned before, just strums
The guitar strings for all my siblings
Just follow when everyone sings

Brand New Heavies (Brand New Heavies)
And Main Source (Main Source) [x4]

Ayo, wait a minute
We got the Heavies in the crib putting the funk back in it
And if you know the Main Source, then you know my man K-Cut
And him and Simon is going to show you what's up

[K-Cut scratches]

I can't forget the other man on the scratches
Sir Scrathes, like his hands are two hachets
While Andrew plucks on the bass
I'm gonna let my man Sir Scratch drop taste

(Sir Scratch gets busy)

Ayo, now everybody sing

Brand New Heavies (Brand New Heavies)
And Main Source (Main Source) [x4]

Just an example of how rappers don't have to sample
To keep the funk beat on the street
Slide to the side when the Source and the Heavies collide
Bonafied Funk for ya hide
To wiggle, making beatheads uncivil
Turntables swivel as the rap crews shrivel
Away, like a fiend with tooth decay
Peace is not the word to play, hey

Brand New Heavies (Brand New Heavies)
And Main Source (Main Source) [x4]

One time it's the...

One time for your mind, one time for your mind
The Large Professor in the house, Main Source forever y'all, be cool

Don't let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen
Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours
So you stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on to the real thing that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move
In my head those words remind me what
Grandma said - at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold on to your faith
Don't be scared go out there
Stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on
To the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand' em to you
On a silver platter
Just stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on
To the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand 'em to you
On a silver platter
Don't be scared go out there
Just stand up my brother sister
Hold on
To the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you
On a silver platter
Stand up my brother sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand 'em to you
On a silver platter

Laetitia
you destroy me
so I can see why
I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever
perfectly perfect together I know
Broken down in my dead bedroom
stuttering to pictures of you
I know that you can always see me
I saw you staring through my TV last night

So I'll leave the door open all night
In case you decide you want to stop on by
Because you got to know
who's been singing that song on the radio
The one that goes...

My friends all call me
crazy cause I
stay up late
anticipating
and planning for the day I sweep you
off your feet I'd never leave you alone
Laetitia
you got my hand shaking
I'm begging you to please stop breaking
my heart because I got the feeling
that you and I will never really get it on

So I'll leave the door open all night
in case you decide you want to stop on by
Because you got to know
who's been singing that song on the radio
The one that goes...

Girl come to me
The only broken-hearted loser
you'll ever need
or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines

Laetitia
you destroy me
so I can see why
I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever
perfectly perfect together I know

In this life we go through lots of hard times
And we say who knows what the day will bring
We learn to survive 'cause that's the only way
It's kinda nice to talk about the good times
Like the feelin' we all know when the summer comes
That's the reason we all know we are as one
Yesterday is over let's live for today
Good mornin' to the blue skies good-bye to the grey
So come into the sunshine step out of the rain
A new day is arising at daybreak
Everybody together people come into our world
People everybody together
People come into our world
I think it's time to have a celebration
It is time to find another way
To keep movin' on toward a better day, yeah
Yesterday is over let's live for today
Good mornin' to the blue skies
Good-bye to the grey
So come into the sunshine
Step out of the rain
A new way is arising at daybreak
People
Everybody together people come into the world
People everybody together
People come into our world
Whoa our world
Uh huh our world
Whoa people come into our world!!!
At daybreak we can live
We can love come on people
We can get it on
We can live together lets come together
We can live together lets come together
We can live together lets come together
Together at daybreak
Come together
We can live together lets come together
Together at daybreak
Come together
We can live together lets come together
Together at daybreak
Come together

Together we got love, we got peace
Together we got everything we're ever gonna need

I don't know what you can call it
All I know is that it works
Here's the funny thing about it, sugar
Sometimes it feels so good it hurts

We've got a lover's fascination
(That) keeps getting better all the time
There's no sweeter sweet sensation
Than knowing what we've got is right

Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace

*We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day

Baby, we ain't missin' nothin'
('Cause) what we have is tried and true - ooh
And we know that this is somethin'
We don't ever wanna lose

We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time

*Repeat

Together we got love, we got peace
Baby we got everything we're ever gonna need
Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace

We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time

*Repeat

There will never be a time

when I'm true to you

Yeah

You, you're always on my mind

Tell me what can I do

I've been in a strained of affaires

Til I met you

You, you're always on my mind

Tell me what can I do



Is it a dream come true

Above a love I once new

Was it all in my mind

I feel I dream on the time



You don't have to prove your love

Cause it's plain to see

And life, life is a mystery

Until you came to me

And we'll have high hopes

But if it don't work out

We won't need this may

Cause love got in force

And it will remain



Is it a dream come true...







If this love I feel

In this whole so real

In my dreams you

that treat me so right



A dream

come true...



A dream come true...

Highest High,
Takes you there, brings you back again

Big dreams never sleep, no
I made a promise to myself I've got to keep, I...

still had control
and I knew I...

that power deep inside
that lifts you up, and sets you free like nothing else can.

Love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again.

Ever since that day, yeah

on a search for fear,
trying to find the reason for the trouble that I've been.

But when my faith was under fire,
I never turned around
and never once backed down
from my desire
my heart and soul
still had control

Keep on shining, shining, shining, shining, shining, oh yeah

Oh, I whisper softly in your ear
My sweet baby
Another perfect day begins when you're right here
And when you're lying next to me
What could be better than you?
It's coming over me again
My sweet baby
I got to work but it's so hard to leave you there
I can't help feeling it ain't fair
I'd rather be chilling with you

I'll be out at work, on my way
No matter what I do all day
You'll be there with me, in my head
Thinking about what we share
Cos you love me right, and I can see
Everything that this could be
And you're never far away from me
Reaching out to you, yeah

Cos everything it happens for a reason
The darkest night will make the brightest star
But baby, now it's gonna be the season
There won't be no looking back
A brighter light will shine on where we are

Keep on shining, shining, shining, shining, shining, yeah yeah

Ain't it funny how it goes
My sweet baby
You hit a wall and think that life will stay that way
At least that's how it seemed to me
Was I so ready to lose?
Now I'm living life again
No turning back
And I ain't scared no more of what tomorrow brings
I'm taking off on brand new wings
Cos I'm going to spend it with you, baby

Keep on shining, shining, shining, shining, shining, yeah yeah

I had to write this down today
My sweet baby
I turned a corner and I know you're there for me
And that's exactly where I'll be
Bringing it home to you, baby

Keep on shining, shining, shining, shining, shining, yeah yeah

Life ain't so easy sometimes
Things tend to block up my mind
Stop me from living
How I want to live

I've been working so hard
Trying to play the right card
Haven't had the time
To do the things I needed to

Why am I feeling so blue?
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened
To the words my friends would say

They'd say when times are rough
You know you've got hold on
Hold on

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of rough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

I know it's happened before
Trouble, it knocked at my door
It filled my head with things
I didn't seem to understand

Bad luck, it followed me to
Whatever I would do
I seemed to ruin all the things
I wanted most of all

Why am I feeling so blue?
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened
To the words my friends would say

They'd say when times are rough
You know you've got to hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on, baby, now

Everywhere that you go
And everything that you do
Situations, they will try to
Get the better of you

Whatever happens to you
This time you've got to hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on, baby, now

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of rough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of tough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

I know it's tough sometimes
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)
Try not to lose your mind
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)

You got to be strong, you got to hold on to it
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)
You got to hold on to it, hold on to it, hold on to it, hold on to it
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)

Do you have a minute, I've got something on my mind
I'm gonna make it clear now, let me lay it on the line
You're giving me the runaround dishonesty and lies,
The time has come to hear me out & recognise the fact
You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearin's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know
Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Just the other night I overheard you on the phone
Whispering sweet nothings
Guess you thought you were alone
Well, you might think that I am blind
But hear me when I say
I can see right through you and your double crossin' ways
(Bridge)

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss
after all that we've been through
I can't believe you'd be untrue
Still you're telling me our love can grow
So you better let it show
(Bridge)

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon
Kick up a little dust

Come on the cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer
Prancer and you can be my sheik

I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him
They all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem
honey
When I am by your side
And you won't need no camel
No no when I take you for a ride

Come on the cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Oh, come on (repeat)

Ego trippin' got you step
Steppin' on someone else's toes
I'm not your sister not your mother
It's not fun being left alone
Staying out all night long
Wondering when you'll be back home
Tired of being on my own
Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down
Always talkin' about how good
About how good you can make me feel
How can you tell me it's true love
When you're out there playin' the field
I don't need the pain no more
Break my heart I'll close the door
Ain't livin' life just like before
Time to stop the crazy games that you're
Playin' with my heart
Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
(You've got me trippin' out)
Mind trips turn me upside down
Lying cheating so misleading
Hurtin' scheming so deceiving
Ruinin' all the plans I'm makin'
Time to stop the crazy games that
You're playin with my heart

I been singing on your radio
And then you'll see me on your video
Cos here we are
I know some people come and go
But we're here to stay
And we're gonna rock your show
We're souls promoting music from the heart
We've been keeping it real from the start
Love's almost gone
From the industry where we belong
But your appreciation keeps us strong

Oh, we're so hungry for music
Food for the soul should be our goal
Cos we're so hungry for something

I need some more
Do du do more
Do du do
Give me some more
Do du do more
Come on baby won't you play?

Don't be manipulated by industry
Telling you how music's supposed to be
Cos it's a game plyed by those who love celebrity
And that's not what music supposed to be
Al Green, Sam Cook and Donnie Hathaway
Try finding stations where these songs are played
Did we forget to see variety is still the spice
That brightens up even your dullest life?

See this here this collaboration
Is a Heavies and Russo situation
So listen up y'all who fail to introduce
The uh talent that we can produce

Never stop me for give in up
Never stop me for give in up
Never stop me for give in up
Never stop me for give in up
Never stop me for give in up
Never stop me for give in up
Givin up feels so good to be together
Spending some time
Makin love
Makin plans to last forever
Stayin true until the end

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive
I wonder why we seldom try
To tell the truth but we welcome lies
Every sister and brother knows
What is wrong and what is right
Everyone under the sun
Must live in this big world
Hand in hand we'll save the land
For all our boys and girls
People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive
Tell me how do you feel inside
Do you let love come alive
See just how happy we could be
Livin' peacefully in harmony
Everyone under the sun
Must live in this big world
Hand in hand we'll save the land
For all our boys and girls
People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive
People are we
We givin' love
People are we
We gettin' love
People are we
We givin' love
People are we

I was born in the city
There's no flies on me
Life can't deliver
No surprise to me
Got a head full of trouble
The world's weight on my back
I'm a fighter
I survive like that

I'm a modern enigma
I am living proof
Cold eyes speaking volumes
Of my troubled youth
I believe in the future
From mistakes I have grown
Leaving the shadows
Which were once my home

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Been so long in the bitter
City air I breath
Seen a million believers
Cry in disbelief
I won't give in to the pressure
Keep my spirit intact
'Cause I know when I need you
You will watch my back

CHORUS:
Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need light to bring me closer
To your shelter
Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

They can't take you away from me
When they try it only makes me stronger
Through the dark it's your light I see
Helping to show me the way

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Repeat Chorus Once

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes)

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, or maybe just a change
Of mind
Working on my constitution, I began to realize
I've been doin' wrong forever, trouble was my favourite
Game, yeah
Breakin' hearts I tought was so clever
But, I'm the one who got hurt playin'.

I never could see it comin', no
Never could feel it 'til its come and gone
But, all of that don't mean nothin', no
When you're all alone

*Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes)
You're lookin' at a transformation
That's brought about a change in me
Love's a brand new situation, never have I felt so free

'Cause I can see it comin' - yeah
And I can feel it callin' louder. Now
Lovin' is so rewarding - yeah
When you let it out

*Repeat (x2)

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes,
Sometimes x4)

I had a picture of you in my head
It kept me warm when you were not there
You made me laugh made me feel like
A child to see your smile made everything worthwhile

I feel a glow when you are near
All of my doubt just disappear
But baby nothing stays the same
It's such a shame

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up
Let's just give it up

So now you play trick with my mind
I am gonna leave your loving all behind
You were my joy
You were my pain
Something is lost when something is gained
Don't worry baby I'll be fine
I'll grow tired of you wasting my time
Don't bother pleading
or trying to stop me
It's too late now I've just
Got to be free

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up
Let's just give it up

Baby just give it up
I've just had enough
Give it up
Give it up
I've just had enough

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up
Let's just give it up

No, you cannot stay for the night
I'm not your anytime you want me delight
I've been healing both my body and mind
Found the courage that can free me this time

We're playin' by a new set of rules
Baby these were not designed for some fool
See, I've taken all that I'm gonna take
It's the rest of my life that's at stake

So, don't you come around drinkin' high and thinkin'
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, you're so wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in, do the talkin'
Puttin' your hands where they don't belong, they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby - stay gone, you can stay gone

I'm no longer falling apart
See, I finally got you out of my heart
And if I ever think of taking you back
You'll remind me how I feel about that

So don't you come around drinkin', high and thinkin'
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, oh yeah damn wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in do the talkin'
Puttin' your hands where you know they don't belong, no, no they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby, you, you, you - you can stay gone
(You can stay gone...)

I don't need the smooth talk on a good night
Doin' just fine, doin' alright - stay gone
(I don't need you, no)

I don't need the false hope, or the bad dope
Or the rough love, had enough of it - stay gone

You can't be a no show, whem I'm real low
It's a no blow, it's a no go - stay gone, stay gone...gone

So don't you come around drinkin', sad and steamin'
Baby let me tell you
I won't work this time
It ain't gonna work no
Ain't gonna work no
I'm tired of letting you hurt me, scream and curse me
Baby, that pain is more than you're worth
Today is gonna be my day, find you a highway
Hear me baby, stay gone - you can stay gone

You can stay, out there, somewhere
I don't care, I don't care - stay gone
(You don't believe it)

You can take a slow boat or a long road
To a fast plane, to a slow train
Stay gone, stay gone - you can stay gone

Living with you in my life
Is like feeling the whole world's on my side
Putting a smile in the place
Where a tear used to run down my face
Feeling the sun on my head
Where a cloud used to follow instead
Singing a song in my heart
In a place where all my troubles depart

If our dreams are falling down to the ground
Let them fly
Let the rain keep falling down
Cause baby I'm high
Now it will fly now that we're together oh ho
Love is so high stay this way forever

Living with you in my life
Is like feeling the whole world's on my side
Putting a smile in the place
Where a tear used to run down my face

Our love yeah!

Love will be here forever
I know that we'll stay together
Our love will be here forever
I hope that we'll stay together

Did you ever feel like there was
Something gonna happen and then,
Realize a part you had died
Perhaps created something better?
See I'm getting ready
To drop this feeling heavy.
I been experiencing
Feelings I can't hide.

So relax, try to let it flow.
Let our pre-concepts go.
No more hesitating.
Ooooh, things are gonna change.

Get up, get out, and breathe it in.
It's worth living.
There's something waiting to begin.
So let it!

{Chorus}
Surrender, give in.
Let go to the feeling.
Just feel this feeling.
Surrender to what you're feeling.

Have you ever tried resisting
A feeling left you reeling,
Cause you realized that you'd been
Playing safe for so long?
You'd forgotten how good something tasted,
Realized the time you'd wasted.
Sometimes it's good to do
A thing you want to...mm-misbehaving.

So unwind, let me let it go,
Everything that you know.
I will give you something
That will blow your mind.

Get up, get out, and breathe it in.
It's worth living.
There's something waiting to begin.
So let it!

{Chorus}
Surrender, give in.
Let go to the feeling.
Just feel this feeling.
Surrender to what you're feeling.

{Bridge}
I want you to know that this is here now.
I want you to show me what you're feeling.
I want you to see how good this could be.
I want you to know this kind of healing.

I want you to know that this is here now.
I want you to show me what you're feeling.
I want you to see how good this could be.
I want you to know this kind of healing.

{Repeat Chorus}

(feat. Masta Ace)

Oh, what a night, yo, that I just been through
I barely made it home from this hip-hop venue
These 2 guys, no 3 guys, no fourth, yo, this posse
Try to fake a move and bumrush me like a Nazi
Underground club where the kids are like rolling
I almost got an avalance dropped on my show and
'Cause I writes the fat raps and kids memorize 'em
I tries 'em this freestyle and boy did I surprise 'em
They said yo, that's too hype, yo, who's he think he is
He suppose to be commercial like that song about the Biz
The kid said "Masta Ace, yo what's the deal wit the switching?"
He's bitching, didn't like the rap I was pitching
You see, he was a rapper wit a single about to drop
His record label told him that he had to make it pop
Take it from me Jack, you're sadly mistaken
Alot of record labels been trying to get the bacon
By making a brother into something he is not and
You're better of and dammer on a farm picking cotton
They mold ya and shape ya, they bend and they twist ya
They get paid like quick fast and that's when they dis ya
So homeboy, you're better off coming from the heart
And letting the kids put your record on the chart
You must use your head and forget what they said
'Cause in about a year you'll be like wake me when I'm dead

[Chorus]
(Wake up) The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies [x2]

If this was an opera, I'll probably say Figaro
Black kid from Brooklyn but don't call me Nigga tho'
I rocks the jams for the young population
I wonder, I wonder, can I change the nation
It's futile, so I try, yes, hoping, yea, maybe
But I can't sit home and write Ice, Ice Baby
'Cause if it comes down to, I must have a pocket
I go get a dayjob and rapping, I'll stop it
I'm never going out, so, yo, firm I am standing
'Cause my jams are fat like a cop named Canon
My rap is for the mind, it's nutritious
My word is final, devinyl and delicious
So face it as if it was a hot fudge sundae
Or I'll come get mine, I guess maybe one day
I gotta work hard and must use my head
You'll never hit the point, I'm saying wake me when I'm dead

[Chorus x2]

Wake me when I'm dead, hey yo, wake me when I'm dead
This life is like a nightmare, I'm gonna lose my head
So I make the jam that'll make me feel better
I hear alot of groups that come cheesier than cheddar
But this jam is well bulit like '57 Chevies
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
So weigh this on ya, underground scaling
We be prevailing while others be failing
I'm hailing from Brooklyn and I strive for the ends
But I don't need a Beemer and I don't need a Benz
Still I got respect for the style I'll be choosing
Rapping to the soul kind of jazz like confusion
I'm cruising not for a bruising but I'll break up
Anything that's broiling like an LA Laker
So I rocks the West Coast as well as the city, yo
I got crazy flavor like a PE video
Plus I got alot of, um, skill and that's word doc
With battle, who me G, you're crazier than Murdoch
Instead of confronting, you oughta be checking
The time 'cause it's wasting, second after second
You're so busy ripping and daring kids to shoot ya
According to the Jetsons, there's no blacks in the future
You better wake up before you're in over your head
Tomorrow, you'll be screaming wake me when I'm dead

[Chorus x2]

Friends are telling me I lost my mind
When I hooked up with you
Maybe that's true

Said that I'll wake up one day
Asking what did I do
Maybe that's true too

When I'm with you everything's alright
All I know is how I feel
When you're with me

[Chorus]
Waste my time, waste my time
Not so sure that I'll be yours
And baby you could be mine
It's all about hanging out
Cause you know how to waste my time

Nothing like an empty day
With nowhere to be
You're right there with me

Laughing as the world goes by
How we let the day
Moving way too fast

Cause when I'm with you I don't really care
What they all want me to be
I just want you beside me

[Chorus]
Waste my time, waste my time
Not so sure that I'll be yours
And baby you could be mine
It's all about hanging out
Cause you know how to waste my time

[Shay:]
Call me Shay on the M-I-C
When you listenin' to me
You be listenin' to b bumpin'
To the rhythm they'll be given
When we hit em with the beats on the streets
Don't forget the way we livin', yo
(Waste my time)
You girl on the other side of the wall
(Waste my time)
I like the way you move your body, and if you fall
(not so sure that I'll be yours)
I'll be the one that's gonna catch you before you hit the ground
(Baby you could be mine)
I'm feeling your sound

It's all about (yeah girl, it's all about)
Hanging out (you know, we hanging out)
Cause you know how to waste my time

[Chorus]
Waste my time (wasting my time)
Waste my time (yeah, yeah)
Not so sure that I'll be yours
But baby you could be mine (you could be mine)
It's all about (yeah girl, it's all about)
Hanging out (we hanging out)
Cause you know how to waste my time (wasting my time)
Mmm, you know how to waste my time
