I've hungered for
your touch along
Lonely time
And Time goes by
So slowly
and time can do
So much Are you
still mine
I need your love

God speed your love
to me
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea to the sea
To the open arms

Lonely rivers sigh

Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered
for your touch
A long
lonely time
And Time goes
by so slowly
And time can do
so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I I need
your love
God speed your
love to me

Well today
I'm so weary
Today I'm
so blue
Sad and
broken hearted
And it's all
because of you
Life was
so sweet dear
Life was
a song
Now you've gone
and left me
Oh where
do I belong
And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two yeah
I I know it's
hard to remember
The people
we used to be
It's even
harder to picture
That you're not
here next to me
You say it's too late
to make it
But is it
too late to try
And in our time
that you wasted
All of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
You turned your
back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot
yesterday
I gave you
my love to borrow
But you just
gave it away
You can't expect me
to be fine
I don't expect
you to care
I know
I've said it before
But all of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
And all those fairy
tales are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now
I'm at a payphone
Man xuck that
xhit
I'll be out spending
all this money
While you're sitting
round wondering
Why it
wasn't you
Who came up
from nothing
Made it
from the bottom
Now when you see me
I'm stunning
And all of
my cars start
With a
push of a button
Telling me
the chances
I blew up or
whatever you call it
Switch the
number to my phone
So you never
could call it
Don't need my name
on my show
You can tell it
I'm ballin'
Swish what a shame
could have got picked
Had a really
good game
But you missed
your last shot
So you talk about
who you see at the top
Or what you
could have saw
But sad to say
it's over for
Phantom pulled up
valet open doors
Wiz like
go away
Got what you was
looking for
Now it's me
who they want
So you can go
and take that little
Piece of xhit
with you
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now
I'm at a payphone

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more
for that
Words fall through me
always fool me
And I
can't react
And games that
never amount to
More than they're
meant will play
Themselves
out
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your
hopeful
Voice you
have a choice
You've
make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't
go back
And moods
that take me
And erase me
and I'm painted black
You have
suffered enough
And warred
with yourself
It's time
that you won
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you
Had a choice
you've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along
oh oh

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

I can show you
the world
Shining shimmering
splendid
Tell me princess
now when did you last
Let your heart
decide
I can open
your eyes
Take you wonder
by wonder
Over sideways
and under
On a magic carpet
ride
A whole
new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us no
or where to go
Or say
we're only dreaming
A whole
new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But
when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now
I'm in a whole
new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole
new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
indescribable feeling
Soaring tumbling
freewheeling
Through an endless
diamond sky
A whole
new world
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I've come
so far
I can't go back
to where I used to be
A whole
new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase
them anywhere
There's time to spare
let me share
This whole new world
with you
A whole new world
(a whole new world)
That's
where we'll be
(That's
where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(a wondrous place)
For
you and me

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-
In other words
I love you-

When you're weary
feelin' small
When tears are in
your eyes
I'll dry them all -
I'm on your side
oh when times -
get rough - -
And friends just can't
be found
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down
and out
when you're on
the street
When evening falls
so hard
I will comfort you -
I'll take your part
oh when darkness
comes - -
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
Troubled
water I will
lay me down.

Sail on silver girl
sail on by
Your time has come
to shine
All your dreams are
on their way
See how they shine
oh if you need a
friend
I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease
your mind - - -.

Another head
hangs lowly
Child's slowly taken
and the violence
Cause such silence
who are we mistaken
But you see
it's not me
It's not my family
in your head
In your head
they are fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are crying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
What's in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Another mother's
breaking heart is
Taken over
when the violence
Cause silence
we must be mistaken
It's the same
old theme
Since nineteen sixteen
in your head
In your head
they're still fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are dying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
But in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

I believe
the children are
our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them all
the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed at least
I live as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all is
easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself
it is the Greatest
love of all
I believe
the children
are our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them
all the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed
at least I live
as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all
is easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself it is
the Greatest
love of all
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

Oh my heart
won't believe
that you have left me
I keep telling myself
that it's true
I can get over anything
you want my love
but I can't get myself
over you
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me my love
On my wall lies
a photograph
of you girl- -
though I try to forget
you somehow
You're the mirror
of my soul so take me
out of my whole let me
try to go on living
right now
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me
my love.

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
In them old
cotton fields back home

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

Well you done done me
and you bet I felt it
I tried to
be chill but
You're so hot
that I melted
I fell right
through the cracks
And now I'm
trying to get back
Before the
cool done run out
I'll be giving
it my bestest
And nothing's
gonna stop me
But divine
intervention
I reckon
it's again my turn to
Win some or
learn some
I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours~
Uhm~ uhm
(eh eh eh eh eh eh)
Well open up your
mind and see like me
Open up your plans
and damn you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll find
Love love
love love
Listen to the
music of the
Moment people dance
and sing were
Just one
big family
And It's our
God-forsaken
Right to be loved
love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot
wait I'm sure
There's no
need to complicate
Our time
is short
This is our
fate I'm yours
And du du du du ju
du du ju du ju du du
Du du ju
du du du du
Scooch on
over closer dear
And I will
nibble your ear
Su du ba ba ba ba ba
ba~ ba oh oh oh uhm
I've been
spending way
Too long checking my
tongue in the mirror
And bending
over backwards
Just to try to
see it clearer
But my breath
fogged up the glass
And so I drew a
new face and laughed
I guess what
I'm be saying is
There ain't
no better reason
To rid yourself of
vanity and
Just go
with the seasons
It's what we
aim to do
Our name is
our virtue
But I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot
wait I'm yours
Well open up your mind
and see like me
Open up your plans and
damn you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll
Find that the sky
is yours
So please don't please
don't please don't
There's no
need to complicate
Cause our
time is short
This oh
this oh
This is out fate
I'm yours~ ah
Bu la ba ba ba
ba ba bum ba
Du du du du du
du du du du du lu lu
Woo du du uhm~
oh~ I'm yours
Oh~ I'm yours
oh~ oh~ bae bae
Du bi di ba
I'm yours
Du du bae du du du bae
di ba I'm yours

Your morning
eyes
I could stare
like watching stars
I could walk
you by
And I'll tell
without a thought
You'd be mine
would you mind
If I took your hand
tonight?
Know you're all
that I want this life
I'll imagine
we fell in love
I'll nap
under moonlight
Skies with you
I think
I'll picture us
you with the waves
The oceans colors
on your face
I'll leave my heart
with your air
So let me fly
with you
Will you be forever
with me?

My love will always
stay by you
I'll keep it
safe
So don't you
worry a thing
I'll tell you
I love you more
It's stuck with you
forever so promise
You won't
let it go
I'll trust
the universe
Will always
bring me to you
I'll imagine
we fell in love
I'll nap
under moonlight
Skies with you
I think
I'll picture us
you with the waves
The oceans colors
on your face
I'll leave my heart
with your air
So let me fly
with you
Will you be forever
with me?
