Truth Is But A Woman - Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

Title: Truth Is But A Woman
Artist: Seals And Crofts
Composer(s): Darrell Crofts, James Seals

Lyric:
Truth is but a woman with flaxen hair
While blown by the wind cannot begin
Lest the ravens utter in despair
For they cannot caress her flower
Nor in the hour find hands of care

So 'round the maypole drift their wings
They cannot drink her beauty springs

Truth is but a woman with eyes of black
While seen through, her tears can see no fears
Lest they be seen from the other side
And I cannot behold her smile
But in my trial hope to abide

So 'round the maypole hover near
In someway her lover here and truth is but a woman

Truth is but a woman adorned in white
A child in waiting like a mystic bride
Without a husband standing by her side
And she cannot withhold her love
It's you and me she's thinking of

So 'round the maypole drift our wings
Listen to the song she sings
Oh, truth is but a woman, oh

I Was The One - Lyrics - Da Brat

Title: I Was The One
Artist: Da Brat
Composer(s): Lenton Tereill Hutton, Shawntae Harris

Lyric:
You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips
Own chips own crib and I don't need this shit here
You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you
I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you

You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises
That you never kept thought I would fail but you won't 'cause
You thought I was the one, but you been proven false
The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah

He, thought I was virgin Mary sweet as a nun
Wanted to marry me with hopes I'd carry his son
Or his daughter the thought I gotta stay out of the parties
Stay in the house, be lonesome, and talk to nobody
Be cooped up for the longest, with nothin' but time
Misery loves company but it ain't no friend of mine
I cooked and cleaned like a Hebrew slave, till I got blisters
A modern day Miss Celie, and he was my mister
But I woke up one day, started to get real slick

Called a couple of my friends with a few scenarios
Felt like a dance with the devil, didn't like being happily
Married no more had to go real quick, 'cause it's my time
And I done made up my mind Shawntae gotta leave you behind
And get my dough 'cause half of that's mine
And my drow to help me the daughter sunshine
You thought I wouldn't make it but I'm livin' proof
Do on to others as you'd have motherfuckers do on to you

You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips
Own chips, own crib and I don't need this shit here
You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you
I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you

You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises
That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause
You thought I was the one, but you been proven false
The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah

She, was my ace boon coon in high, we grew up together
You fucked with her I'd fight you, and vice versa
From class to choir rehearsal, totin' the bags
Slangin' them sacks, and beat up all the hood rats
Rolling off with the richest niggas on the block
And bring they whips back, but things changed
When I started to rap, jealousy kicked in
She wouldn't be my friend, she wasn't even lookin' out for me

Then, she didn't even have time to call me on the phone
To say hello so good-bye, good-bye
You'll never get apiece of my love again
Don't try, my love is everlasting like Tony Terry
I'm very territorial and I'm over protective to niggas
I love, 'cause I respect them, but not this heffa
She took things in a different direction
I can't protect her when it's said and done, shit

I am not the one, I need loyal buddies, supportive of me
Roarin' for me, breakin' my trust can get ugly
So please don't mistake my kindness for weakness
Learn it, as I stomp trough the trenches on this tedious journey
I'm so hot my feet burn, and you keep yearnin'
To be a part of my life but you done fucked it up permanently
Now it don't concern me no more

You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips
Own chips, own crib and I don't need this shit here
You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you
I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you

You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises
That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause
You thought I was the one, but you been proven false
The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah

Sena I thought that I was the one
Sena I thought, you thought that I was the one
Thought I was the one
Thought I was the one, yeah

You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips
Own chips, own crib and I don't need this shit here
You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you
I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you

You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises
That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause
You thought I was the one, but you been proven false
The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah

Woman - Lyrics - Delta - Delta Goodrem

Title: Woman
Album: Delta
Artist: Delta Goodrem
Composer(s): Wayne Anthony Hector, Steve Mac

Lyric:
I worked late but you didn't wait up
My bones ache and I'm clearing the place up
Sometimes I don't even know why I care

I sit down take off my make-up
I lay down but you don't wake up
Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there

I can't remember the last time you told me I'm beautiful
And I can't remember the last time that you said anything at all

I'm a woman, a woman with a heart and I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman and I need to be touched and I need to be loved
'Cause being just your woman is not enough, it's not enough

Now I hope that you don't wake up
When it's too late to make up
You'll be the one that's alone and that's sad

In time you'll find somebody
The truth is she'll never be me
That's when you're going to miss what we had

When all I really needed to hear was you're beautiful
And I, all I really needed to hear was anything at all

I'm a woman, a woman with a heart, oh and I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman and I need to be touched, oh and I need to be loved
'Cause being just your woman is not enough

I'm not your friend who only needs you sometimes
And if I'm your lady you've got to treat me like

I'm a woman, a woman with a heart, oh and I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman and I need to be touched, oh and I need to be loved
'Cause being just your woman is not enough

A woman needs your heart, a woman needs your all
A woman needs your everything
I'm a woman and I need to be touched and I need to be loved
And I deserve your everything
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman

Artist: Shaggy
Composer(s): Michael George Fletcher, Orville Burrell, Shaun Pizzonia, Ricardo Ducent, Christopher Birch

Lyric:
Mek yuh know seh a woman and man have two different tings seen
Ladies, I love oonu to death
Girls, you know you got it all locked down
Yo, ha ha, Shaggy

If yuh a creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh

A creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh
Hookie jookie and di nookie dat I'm givin' to yuh

Ask a woman if she faithful, she say yes indeed
Can't swear fi a woman if she is in need
Overtaken by the hunger that she has to feed
Now whosoever give her what she want, she follow their lead

What do you think will happen when she wants the ride?
When you won't give her and she steps outside
Knock on my door at a quarter past five
Well, you know I'm gonna let her inside

Guess what will happen when I draw these blinds?
What was yours now is suddenly mine
She comes back and she's all full of smiles
And you're too dumb to recognize these signs

A creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh
Hookie jookie and di nookie dat I'm givin' to yuh
Girls, a creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh
Hookie jookie and di nookie dat I'm givin' to yuh

Ain't nuh man a gi yuh gal bun and gi har dat wid cheese
Meet a woman now and later she'd be beggin' please
But a hide it like a woman isn't done wid ease
Nuh matta how yuh try to lie di truth she always sees

The guilt is written all over your face
She already done tried your case
'Cause you made it so easy to trace
Now somebody else's gonna take your place

So when you're out there and you're havin' your fling
Slammin' and bangin', you know them bedspring sing
Back home in bed like she won't notice a thing
Down dressed missed like Irish Spring

If yuh a creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh
Hookie jookie and di nookie dat I'm givin' to yuh
Girl, a creep pon yuh man and mek nuh one see yuh
Caan mek nobody have nuh secret fi yuh
Hookie jookie and di nookie dat I'm givin' to yuh

Well, if you ask a woman if she faithful, she say yes indeed
Can't swear fi a woman if she is in need
Overtaken by the hunger that she has to feed
Now whosoever give her what she want, she follow their lead

Yo, yuh gi yuh gal don't gi har dat wid cheese
Meet a woman now nuh later she be beggin' please
But a hide it like a woman isn't done wid ease
Nuh matta how yuh try to lie di truth she always sees

This Is Me - Lyrics - Free Yourself - Fantasia Barrino

Title: This Is Me
Album: Free Yourself
Artist: Fantasia Barrino
Composer(s): Damon E Thomas, Antonio Dixon, Harvey Mason Jr, Durrell Babbs

Lyric:
This is me
(This is me)
(This is me)
This is who I am
(This is me)

I'm still tryna make it out
'Cause I'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down 'cause I'm so deep in the struggle

(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
(From the streets to the stage of Hollywood)
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
(Be okay)
I don't really care what the people say
'Cause this is me

A mother, a daughter
(Daughter)
Sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah

Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while I'm trying to sing
Hope I hit it big, so I can send for my daughter

(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
(From the streets to the stage of Hollywood)
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
(Make a way)
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
I don't really can what the people say
(Oh, yeah)
'Cause this is me
(This is me, yeah)

A mother, a daughter
(Mother)
A sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
(Oh, yeah)

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
(He know I can do it)
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah
(This is, this is me, yeah)

No one really knows the whole truth
(The whole truth about me)
And no one's had to live in my life
(Then they would know it ain't easy)

Made my share of mistakes, that's alright
'Cause I'm not gonna be afraid no more
'Cause this is me
And I won't hide who I am

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
(Oh yeah)
I don't really care what the people say
(What the people really say)
'Cause this is me
(Oh yeah)

A mother, a daughter
A sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
('Cause he know I can do it)
'Cause this is, this is
(Oh, this is me, yeah)

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
I don't really care what the people say
What the people really say
'Cause this is me

A mother, a daughter
A sister to my brother

A Woman In Love - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: A Woman In Love
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Edvaldo Sales Bola, Robin Hugh Gibb, Barry Gibb

Lyric:
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside, you know we never know why

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes and the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall, but I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything to get you into my world and hold you within
It's a right, I defend, over and over again
What do I do?

With you eternally mine
In love there is no measure of time
We planned it all at the start
That you and I live in each other's heart

We may be oceans away
You feel my love, I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall, but I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything to get you into my world and hold you within
It's a right, I defend, over and over again
What do I do?

Ohh, I am a woman in love and I'm talking to you
I know how you feel, what a woman can do
It's a right, I defend, over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything to get you into my world and hold you within
It's a right, I defend, over and over again

Maya - Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Title: Maya
Artist: Incredible String Band
Composer(s): Robin Williamson

Lyric:
Dust of the rivers does murmur and weep
Hard and sharp laughter that cuts to the bone
Ah, but every face within your face does show
Going gladly now to give himself his own

And twelve yellow willows shall fellow the shallows
Small waves and thunder be my pillow
Upon the gleaming water two swans that swim
And every place shall be my native home

The east gate like a fortress dissolve it away
The west gate like a prison, oh, come break it down
Island, I remember, living here
Wandering beneath the empty skies

In time her hair grew long and swept the ground
And seven blackbirds carried it out behind
It bore the holy imprint of her mind
As greenfoot slow, she moved among the seasons

The great man, the great man
Historians his memory
Artists, his senses, thinkers, his brain
Labourers, his growth, explorers, his limbs

And soldiers his death each second
And mystics his rebirth each second
Businessmen, his nervous system
No-hustle men his stomach

Astrologers, his balance, lovers, his loins
His skin it is all patchy
But soon will reach one glowing hue

God is his soul, infinity, his goal
The mystery, his source
And civilisation, he leaves behind
Opinions are his fingernails

Maya, Maya, all this world is but a play
Be thou the joyful player
Maya, Maya, all this world is but a play
Be thou the joyful player

The wanderer no sense does make
His eyes being tied in the true love's knot
The trees perceive his soul
Do not detain him long

Dear little animal, dark-eyed and small
Caring for your fur with pointed paws
This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry
A small sweet meat to the eyes of night

Oh, dandelion be thou thine
Reflecting the sun in sexual glory
In ever changing tongues
The ever changing story

The book, man, bird, woman, serpent, sea, sun
Blessed, oh, blessed are they of the air
Your eyes, they are the eyes of the glad land
Ye twelve that will enter the seasons

The great ship, the ship of the world, long time sailing
Mariners, mariners, gather your skills
The great ship, the ship of the world, long time sailing
Mariners, mariners, gather your skills

Jesus and Hitler and Richard, the lion heart
Three kings and Moses and Queen Cleopatra
The Cobbler, the maiden, the mender and the maker
The sickener and the twitcher and the glad undertaker

The shepherd of willows
The harper and the archer
All sat down in one boat together
Troubled voyage in calm weather

Maya, Maya, all this world is but a play
Be thou the joyful player
Maya, Maya, all this world is but a play

Its A Pity - Lyrics - Tanya Stephens

Title: Its A Pity
Artist: Tanya Stephens
Composer(s): Jerome Bugnon, Pierre Baigorry, Leander Topp, Seeed Vivienne Stephens

Lyric:
I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, Tanya loves ya, wha me seh?

It's a pity, you already have a wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I say, it is a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I woulda like one of these mornings to wake up and find
Your face on a pillow lying right next to mine
I woulda cut out the partying and the smoking and the rum
And buss a extra wine and make we seal up a son

Well, every time mi fantasize, me see your lips, me see your eyes
Your trigger finger do something a lef the rude girl hypnotized
For you it's just a thing, just another little fling
But for me this is Heaven and the angel them a sing

It's a pity, you already have a wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it's such a pity, yo

I say, it is such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

Fi buck you up inna public and can't even touch
It really fuck me up because me check fi you so much
The respect weh mi have fi your woman, fi your kids
Believe me rude boy mi criss, a nuh matey this

Who knows? Maybe one day the world will be evolved enough
We'll share you in a civilized manner between the two of us
But until then I woulda love see you again
Me know we have fi play it by the stupid rules of sin

I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, Tanya loves ya, wha me seh?

So meet me round the corner, avoid Mitzy and Lorna
You know them a two of the biggest informer
I'm not starving for sex no, nah bawl out vex no
But the way how yuh flex really beat my interest yo

Ayou weh people see a no the you fa me loving
And the you weh deh with me go much deeper than skin
I don't know exactly what it is you're feeling
But I wish this was a permanent thing, yo

It's such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I say, it is such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

Me know seh you belong to she
You know seh me belong to him
Me wouldn't want you dis your queen
Me woulda never dis mi king

But when yuh play pon mi riddim
And when me feel your base a swing
You lef me inna turmoil, you have me head a spin

It really mek me sad fi haffi waste so much water
I think the two o' we can mek a beautiful daughter
But it would be selfish to an innocent little youth
Fi bring her come and cannot tell her the truth
Tell her the truth

I said, go with Jah, I will always love you
I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, remember Tanya loves ya

Never Again - Lyrics - Pain Is Love - Ja Rule

Title: Never Again
Album: Pain Is Love
Artist: Ja Rule
Composer(s): Marcus Vest, Irving D Lorenzo, Jeffrey B Atkins

Lyric:
Uh, you make a lot of mistakes in life
Those same mistakes keep callin us back, pullin' us in
What the fuck's wrong with niggas?

Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
It keeps callin', it keeps callin', it keeps callin'
Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
But the streets keep callin', they keep callin', they keep callin'
Never again

Will I look a nigga dead in his eyes and know he's dead wrong
And don't leave him dead to realize, it's a fucked up world we live in
I'm tired of feelin' the pain but ain't fightin' the feelin'
Niggas, can you feel me?

'Cause in this world I'm alone, and trapped inside this body
That's out of control
I'm hittin' these streets daily
Know when I got babies to feed and rarely seein' 'em, rarely

This game inhaled me, and like Christ on the slate, nailed me
God, please don't fail me
But it's crazy to ask upon the Lord for help
When I got guns to bust and drugs to sell

I see you in hell, muthafuckas, I ain't bitter
'Cause I know snakes and snitches get it where they slither
My niggas, doin' life in the pen
This gotta be what y'all thinkin', shit

Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
But the streets keep callin', they keep callin', they keep callin'
Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
'Cause these hoes keep callin', they keep callin', they keep callin'
Never again

Will I make you cry, baby
You know I lie, you can see it in my eyes, baby
But the truth is when a woman's fed up
There ain't a damn thing you can do about love
What about us?

Why must our lawyers discuss
Who gets the kids, who gets the cribs and how we should both live
When I love ya, when we apart all I do is think of ya
But you think I'm fuckin' everything that's walkin'

Either skirt or the thong
It don't matter, 'cause in your eyes I'm dog-fuckin' 'em all
I got a woman that's gone and a passion for bitches
If you lose one the other becomes your religious

So what am I to do but get the wind behind me
Ground beneath me, make it hard for hoes to reach me
'Cause the Rule ain't easy
Babe, unless you're freakin', please believe

Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
'Cause these hoes keep callin', they keep callin', they keep callin'
Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
But the game keeps callin', it keeps callin', it keeps callin'
Never again

Will I think these niggas friends and they foes
'Cause in this rap game, you never know, just let it go
If my pain is love, my brain's on drugs
And may all my hoes, thug on

And keep these punk niggas paralyzed, from the waist down
I got 'em face down is the equivalent of where I'm at now
Over the top of y'all niggas
Just a little quicker and smarter
Enhancin' the game makin' it harder

For niggas that freeze again like Braxton
I be hittin' niggas with thrillers like Mike Jackson
I'm a problem, number one with a bullet, I keep it up in my gun
It's hollow so when I pull it, it numbs

Your whole body, give it or take a few seconds
You'll probably, be the same nigga to dick ride me
Never again would I close my eyes
And walk through the dark backwards blind

Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
But the game keeps callin', it keeps callin', it keeps callin'
Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
It keeps callin', it keeps callin', it keeps callin'
Never again

Never again
Would I run down a road so dark, hoped to die, cross my heart
Never again
But the game keeps callin', it keeps callin', it keeps callin'

The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born) - Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Title: The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born)
Artist: Chris De Burgh
Composer(s): Chris De Burgh

Lyric:
A child is born on a battlefield
A soldier boy falls to his knees
And a woman cries in joy and pain
When will we live in peace again?

A child is born where the wild wind blows
In a country torn from the south to the north
And a family runs from day to day
When will we see our home again?

When will we see the simple truth
The only thing that's worth a damn

Life of a child is more than a forest
Life of a child is more than a border, could ever be

A child is born in the desert sun
A tiny life has just begun
And a mother cries for her hungry baby
When will I feed my boy again?

A child is born to an ordinary home
East or west, it could be anyone
But we all wanna know, will my child survive to see the day
When we will be secure again?

When will we see the simple truth
That the only thing that's worth a damn

Life of a child is more than a forest
Life of a child is more than a border

Life of a child is more than a region
Life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity

We must believe for the sake of humanity

Ain'T Really Love - Lyrics - The Breakthrough - Mary J Blige

Title: Ain'T Really Love
Album: The Breakthrough
Artist: Mary J Blige
Composer(s): Johnta Austin, Mary J. Blige, Candice Childress, Bryan Michael Cox

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everyday I'm trying to get to know ya
But more and more you're changing up your act
Everyday I look for ways to bring us closer
But more and more you appear to be drawing back

And that day when we're making love, it's getting weaker
My heart don't feeling, feeling is everything
And I'm feeling like maybe you just don't feel it
And I don't know how to play it
In the past, didn't know how to say it but I

I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more
(I just can't do it, babe)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most?
(I don't get it at all)

But if you wanna go
(There's the door)
I can't hold you
(Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused
I treat myself way too good
And a love that tears you down, ain't really love

Everyday I'm getting up and making breakfast
And more and more you're walking in without a word
And everyday I'm trying to ask, "Baby, what's wrong?"
And more and more you say I'm getting on your nerves

And then you take me to the level of some bullshit
You said ya never had these problems from a white chic
You got me twisted and twisted is just not how I get with it
You need to sit down and hear it, oh

I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more
(I just can't do it, baby)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most?
(I don't get it at all)

But if you wanna go
(There's the door)
I can't hold you
(Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused
I treat myself way too good
And a love that tears you down, ain't really love

I'm pouring out my heart
(My heart)
Don't you sit there while my heart is on the line
Speak your truth
(Speak your truth)
What it's worth
(What it's worth)
Not a word you say will go unheard

Now if it's like that
Then baby, just pack your bags
'Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I'm sick and tired of trying
I had enough of waiting
I'm not that good with playing
I know I love you but I love myself too

I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more
(I just can't do it, baby)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most?
(I don't get it at all)

But if you wanna go
(There's the door)
I can't hold you
(Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused
Treat myself way too good
And a love that tears you down, ain't really love

I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more
(And I just can't do it, baby)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most?
(I don't get it at all)

But if you wanna go
(There's the door)
There's the door
(Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused
Treat myself way too good
And a love that tears you down, ain't really love

Artist: Ms. Jade

Lyric:
Who da hell wanna test me big guns and things
See me in the source book bitch frozen rings
Never been a follower, always been a leader
Ya'll to need is get down on your knees
When you agreed I'm a gangsta
See me in a ball with my niggaz

No dudes ain't afraid to pull da trigger
Get shit trucked I'ma fuckin' icon
Niggaz in da streets whispering 'bout my rock
'Cos I'm da broad from da east
Smelling like Gucci and envy linen pants with the crease
You wanna piece, I don't think ya hand ready
C 55 but I used to push da shell in

Fucked up tracks which y'all just rap
Never touch paper, most of y'all just act
High these flights pimp rap, must tell y'all da truth I get it in
But y'all messed around in da boot
What da fuck y'all suck comin' all y'all smuts
Poppin' up worldwide everywhere like starbucks
What da fuck y'all suck, comin' all y'all smuts
Poppin' up worldwide everywhere like starbucks

She's a gangsta, not a prankster y'all
Not a follower but a leader, y'all feel dat
She's a gangsta girl, she's a gangsta girl
Now can y'all feel dat
She's a gangsta girl, she's a gangsta girl

I got a sick giff, roll me a big spliff
Crazy when da mic palm in my black fist
You do it like you, I do it like dis
Ms. Jade powerful da project piss
Now how y'all want play, spit it for da big pay
I leave dat ass up in smoke like Eminem and Dre
Semi auto AK, do da shit da philly way
We roll out the hamp and just to get away

Best 'bout time, we settle this
Up in da club throwin' bows acting ghetto-ish
And if I stop I'm a still be a rebel chick
Hey you fuckas lookin' quick
Puffin' in a tin of it be da case like puffy did
Legistyle I'm poppin' big , when I'm gone, trust me I'm a still live
Take but I'd rather give you fuckin' with the bigger kids
Bigger ones, bigger funs, bigger foods, timbaland bigger beats

She's a gangsta, not a prankster y'all
Not a follower but a leader, y'all feel dat
She's a gangsta girl, she's a gangsta girl
Now can y'all feel dat
She's a gangsta girl, she's a gangsta girl

Choosing down 95 with a cup in my hand
Hot grills, large bills top up in da rubber band
Got da anger math, won't let 'em burn me out
'Cos I'ma strong black women ya grown black woman
Games do I really play 9-5 bin paid
Pills are da grim shit, never fuck widda trays
I don't care if it bothers you, I'm still gonna blaze
So sick like a virus that never goes away

Hey hold ya breath you can smell da success
Spit 16 if da pit pat on your chest
Yes, I'm so blessed, ya cats is so stressed
Yeh, da streets been talkin' 'bout my pin a due da rest
Future mapped out, money linked all in
I'm a saturate da game then sink y'all in
Snakes fates and dick riders what I despise
Out to take it all over and will not compromise

Keep Ya Head Up - Lyrics - 2Pac- Greatest Hits - 2pac

Title: Keep Ya Head Up
Album: 2Pac- Greatest Hits
Artist: 2pac
Composer(s): Tupac Amaru Shakur, Stan Vincent, Daryl L. Anderson, Roger Troutman

Lyric:
Little somethin' for my godson Elijah
And a little girl named Corinne

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares and don't nobody else care

And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block, brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep ya head up

And when he tells you, you ain't nothin', don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Coz sista, you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em

You know it makes me unhappy, what's that
When brothas make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman

I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And if we don't, we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies but keep ya head up

Keep ya head up, ooo, child things are gonna get easier
Ooo, child things are gonna get brighter
Keep ya head up, ooo, child things are gonna get easier
Ooo, child things are gonna get brighter

Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me
He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be
And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough

I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two
And I realize, momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life to raise me right

And all I had to give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen
I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent

And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen
I try and find my friends but they're blowin' in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity

It seems tha rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up and still keep from gettin' wet up
You know it's funny when it rains, it pours
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor

Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby

We ain't meant to survive 'coz it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
Huh, ya got to keep ya head up

Keep ya head up, ooo, child things are gonna get easier
Ooo, child things are gonna get brighter
Keep ya head up, ooo, child things are gonna get easier
Ooo, child things are gonna get brighter

And uhh, to all the ladies havin' babies on their own
I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' all alone
Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want 'em

'Coz I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more
'Coz ain't nothin' worse than when your son
Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'

You can't complain, you was dealt this
Hell of a hand without a man, feelin' helpless
Because there's too many things for you to deal with
Dying inside but outside you're looking fearless

While tears is rollin' down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin' things don't all down this week
'Coz if it did, you couldn't take it and don't blame me
I was given this world, I didn't make it

And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold
From havin' the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin' Benz
I'm still tryin' to hold on to my survivin' friends

And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up
But please, you got to keep ya head up

The Truth - Lyrics - Voyage To India - India Arie

Title: The Truth
Album: Voyage To India
Artist: India Arie
Composer(s): Andrew Ramsey, India Arie, Shannon Sanders

Lyric:
Let me tell you why I love him

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because his light it shines so bright, I wouldn't lie

I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife

And even things I don't like about him are fine with me
'Cause it's not hard for me to understand him 'cause he's so much like me
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because his light it shines so bright, I wouldn't lie, no

How can the same man that makes me so mad
(Do you know what he did?)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft?
(Girl, do you know what he did?)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad, no
'Cause there's a blessin' in every lesson and I'm glad that I knew him at all

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because his light, it shines so bright

I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth

I love him in every way
That a woman can love a man
From personal to universal
But most of all it's unconditional

You know what I'm talking about
That's the way I feel and I always will
There ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn't

('Cause he is the truth)
You see the truth, it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
('Cause he is the truth)

Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because he is, yes he is
I wonder does he know

Queen Bee - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: Queen Bee
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
The black, black widow is sittin' in the middle of the web
It's the fly she seeks
You may be her lover but you never will recover, 'cause
She ain't had a bite for weeks

You think your the same, 'cause you got the same name
But the widow has a mobile home
Remember what I told you, she got eight arms to hold you
And she's never gonna let you roam

She'll tuck into bed and truck on your head, then she'll
Wrap you as a midnight snack
So if you see a spider, don't you sidle up beside her
Why'd you think the widow's wearin' black?

Queen bee, baby
Pray that you may be left on your own, uh huh
Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you, uh, uh, uh
But the queen bee's never gonna be alone. Uh huh

Long before Atlantis there has been a praying mantis and
You knows why he's on his knees
He may have religion but he's just a sittin' pigeon if a
Woman even starts to tease

He won't even quibble if she has a little nibble on his neck
What a way to go
And now you done and torn it! You been messin' with a
Hornet, she's a blue-blooded wasp, you know

And just as you do it, she'll inject you with a fluid that you
Ain't even got but none
You're the meat on the plate, not even first rate, she's
Gonna feed you to her seventh son

Just like the Queen Bee, baby
Pray that you may be left on your own
Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you, uh, uh, uh
But the queen bee's never gonna be alone. Uh huh. Uh huh

So, in conclusion, it's an optical illusion, if you think that
We're the weaker race
Men got the muscle, but the ladies got the hustle, and the
Truth is staring in your face

The mother bear stalks, and the queen of the hawks, is the
One who brings home the bread
The lion that is regal, and the bald headed eagle, need a
Woman just to keep them fed

But come the evenin', we're like Adam and his Eve, inside
The garden. Hear the serpent's sound?
It's so frustratin', when you're really into matin', and there
Ain't a lovin' man around

Whoever wrote this story
(It's so frustratin', when you're really
Into matin', and there ain't a lovin' man around)
Throw out the glory
(It's so frustratin', when you're really
Into matin', and there ain't a lovin' man around)
Bring in the men (give me them and I'll swing)
Write me a sequel
Give me an equal, oh, oh, oh
And I'll give that man
I said I'm give that lovin' man
I said I'm gonna give that lovin' man
I'm gonna give him that lovin' sting! Zap

Lyrical Lies - Lyrics - Cute Is What We Aim For

Title: Lyrical Lies
Artist: Cute Is What We Aim For
Composer(s): Jeffrey Martin Czum, Tom Falcone, Shaant Timothy Hacikyan, Fernando Cimato

Lyric:
A old man gave me a tip he said
?Don?t waste your time with politics?, he said
?Just chase skirts instead
And life is too short, and your almost dead,? he said

?I met a woman once, gave her my best shot
But never did I talk, talk and talk
If I had her back I?d be as real as my age
I so don?t blame them, I wouldn?t do the same
But I can blame them, I?d sing her this?

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear, get a grip

And I think what I just wrote is going over my head
I?m stealing lines from myself
And what I said was never said
It's just a lyrical lie, made up in my mind

You want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear, get a grip

You?re moving but not aware
You?re drowsy without a care
Except keeping your whites behind your lids
And your lids are your best canvas

I can only imagine what you're painting, what you're painting
And your body on my mattress is proof
And your makeup on your pillow is proof
But do you think I am telling you the truth?

It's just a lyrical lie, made up in my mind

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear, get a grip

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear, get a grip

The Mayor Of Candor Lied - Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Title: The Mayor Of Candor Lied
Artist: Harry Chapin
Composer(s): Harry F. Chapin

Lyric:
In the little town of Candor in the last year of my youth
I learned the final lesson of the levels to the truth
My father was a farmer he'd go tilling in the ground
My mother was a neighbor she'd go visiting around

But I didn't care
For I had found the answer to a plowboy's lonely prayer
She was the daughter of the Mayor

The Mayor fought my courtship for he'd made other plans
He saw her married to a better man than a boy with farmer's hands
I said, I hate your father, it's so hard not to strike him
She said, you know I love you because you're so much like him

And so I'd go sneaking in the evening
And there she'd stand a crying in the dawn as I was leaving

But the Mayor of Candor lied
When he offered me his only daughter
The Mayor of Candor tried
To take her across the water
What a thing to do to a young man in love
What a thing to do to your daughter

One day with father on his tractor and mother off again
I go to find the mayor and work out what I can
But he is not at his office, he is not at his home
When I find him in the countryside he is not alone

He is holding a woman and imagine my surprise
As she jumps back from his arms, I look into my mother's eyes

All my thoughts of outrage, embarrassment and pain
Were washed away by what came roaring through my brain
The Mayor's at my mercy and I hear my own voice say
Your run for re-election is just one month away

And the world will never know of what I've seen here, sir
But I'll be with your daughter, is my meaning clear?

My mother looks in horror at the compromise we made
But the Mayor's rueful smile says the piper must be paid
I had a month of joy in heaven from this deal I'd made in hell
What was to happen then my friend a prophet could not tell

The day after his re-election and the victory celebration
The Mayor takes his family on a month long foreign vacation

Oh Coleen, you know how much I love you
There is no one I'd ever place above you
Oh Coleen, you don't even know me
To have you there's nothing that's below me

But time always passes after all
And as the summer follows spring so does the winter follow fall

The day that they return I stand waiting on the road
I watch the car drive up, I watch the passengers unload
Of course she isn't there, of course I should have known
The Mayor says that she has stayed, the decision was her own

I spit out my hatred and my fury at his lies
When he says you tried to blackmail me, you're just as bad as I
He says, go and do your damndest, throw your mother to the streets
You know it's been too many years, I had to be discreet

And as he stands there saying we're just two of a kind
It hits me like a thunderbolt exploding in my mind

As I look into his leering aged wrinkled mirror of my own face
He laughs and sneers and says, of course dear son
Where do you think you came from in the first place?

The Mayor of Candor lied
When he offered me his only daughter
The Mayor of Candor tried
To take her across the water
What a thing to do to a young man in love
What a thing to do to your daughter
