Cee-Lo Green Album

[No lyrics]

[Chorus]
He's bad, he's Cee-Lo Green
But you can just call him the soul machine
(repeat 4x)

[Cee-Lo]
Now I came here for you to love
It's computer love
I make them cut through the rug when I do the club
I can take some mental electric sex
Refuting love
But Gunplay will be graphic if I do the thug
The day to day experience
Is the data that I download
And then remaster onto a rapture
Abracadabra before and after
Over and over
Losing account of all the dreams that I sold ya
But then I gave ya
At the speed of light trying to save ya

LyricsThen I go and now come back a row
Whoa
And oh I'm technic to God in a fashion but you can just call me Lo Go

[Bridge]
Whenever you want some soul
Start him up
Whenever you need some soul
Start him up
See he's been given the power
To take you wherever you want to go
Start him up
And tell him what you want

[Bridge 2]
Once you start up the soul machine
You will see what I mean
Open your eyes and enjoy the dream
He can do anything

[All]
He's bad!

Hey now here we go let's start the show
Supposed to only call me 'Lo
But you can call me The Soul Machine
Watch – HEEEEYYYY YYEEAAAA – See what I mean?
Four million flavors of the southern soul flower
But the power that you get from the heart of a human being
Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens
When the divine starts to intervene
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don't mean to be heavy
But "Come save me," said this last fiend
'Cause the beginning and the ending and the misassumption
Will make 'em move something in between

(Bridge)
It's like I'm standing on my tippy-toes to touch a star (a star)
Trying to catch joy in other's jar
And yes by far I'm so much further than they are
HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY

(Chorus)
LyricsTurn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I'd dance my life away
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day

When you see me you would know that you saw me
Because he always got on his game and his good shoes
Difficult to stop creating can't wait
But they came to see God then great tell 'em the good news
Isn't it ironic how it feels so good?
But I was only just singing the blues
I wouldn't open my mouth about it at all
If I thought that I was only just singing the fool
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don't mean to be heavy
Maybe 'Lo you should lighten up
I really would if I could

But I really don't think that anybody shell out enough
And I really think true wealth is home and happiness and health
A little cash and you'll need nothing else
And as far as me being good, I can't help myself
HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY

(Chorus)
Turn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I'd dance my life away
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day

So when you really really need you some soul
I mean dead serious damn near bout to die bout some
Don't be too proud to turn your radio way up loud
Close your eyes and have fun
I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon
The reason why I had to have my son
And every time I've ever opened my mouth and said something
Bout living was to earn my ones
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don't mean to be heavy
Wait I'm almost done
And God can truly work a miracle – Look at me
Isn't it obvious that I'm one?
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free (I'm free)
And this my own little thing yes I agree
But don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me?
HEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

(Chorus)
Turn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I'd dance my life away
And if you can't seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day

Cee-Lo scatting till fade

If I could write one song to right all wrongs
I would, if I could
But in retrospect a little bad is good, mm-hmm
We all need what we want and don't want what we need, mm-mm
Life is bittersweet a bitter seed indeed, mm-hmm
Well I'm so human it is a goddamn shame... I'm your thing
And I make sure that I always keep me some pain- yessir
To remind me that I'll survive somehow- oh
Lord please don't let nothin steal me away right now- and now

Cuz I wanna hut two three four what the hell are you waiting for
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Now hut two three four what the hell are you waiting for
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Just live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Well I've struggled so hard that I survived
And it's a miracle that I'm still alive

Said stand up, everybody, uh this is your life
You gotta get it when you can y'all
Havin fun, this is your night
We can't forget about the brothers, the sisters, the lovers who ain't here
You only got one life y'all and I repeat the point it ain't clear
And if it ain't fear then what's stopping you from going
Do you not want to be responsible for knowing
Cuz ignorance is bliss
And ignorance is just so fucking ignorant you may even be ignorant of this
And to save somebody's soul is the significance of this
I'm good lookin still cookin soul food so make a dish
Light a candle for love blow it out and make a wish
And I hope I die happy like this

Cuz I wanna Hut two three four what the hell are you waiting for
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Now hut two three four what the hell are you waiting for
Live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Just live (think about it are you sure you're really living)
Well I've struggled so hard that I survived
And it's a miracle that I'm still alive
Well I have struggled so hard yet I survive
And a little miracle that I'm still alive

feat. Timbaland
[Timbaland}
Oh! Cee-Lo...you ready to rock with Timbaland?
Oh! Let's go boy! ATL, talk to 'em Lo...

[Verse 1 - Cee-Lo]
How can I possibly, be inconspicuous
When my flow is fuckin' ridiculous?
That's rite an accent, see Im from the south
Where some of the most beautiful things come out my mouth
And Im on stage just as soon as I come out the house
So I might as well give them somethin' to talk about
I bust a rap to make a blind man believe in the boogey
And if you came here to move the Cee then the boogey on

[Chorus - Tim (Cee)]
When you want me to come (Holla)
When you want me to come (Call me!)
When you want me to come (I'll be around)
(When you want me to come, yeah, woo! Holla)
When you want me to come (Holla)
LyricsWhen you want me to come (Call me!)
When you want me to come (I'll be around)

[Verse 2 - Timbaland]
Here comes Timbaland, Im also from the south
I like them girls with big butts, and golds in they mouth
I come from the back road, and a dirty house
If you leave the door open, mama'll cuss ya' out
I got a big dog in the front yard
Best buh-lieve that bitch bite hard
I gotta grand daddy who think he Joe Clark

And that's how we do it 'round these parts

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Cee-Lo]
You see, I do what they wont do and cant do
But gon' wish they did when Im done
And with a smile on my face, give a joke for second place after I won
Shake his hand, firm like a man but talk to him like a son
And this way I can still be a little somethin' to everyone
And with that elegance, I rock climb to reach hints from God of relevance
Poise, position, and the plush of a revalance
And Im outstandin', outpsoken, which is the unequivocal evidence
It is then instant vintage as it has been, ever since, ah!

[Chorus x2]

Uuhh Ooh! Oh no! Uh oh! Sweet Sugar Lo and Timbo (Uh oh!)
Oh No, uh oh, them niggaz bouta get some mo' dough (Uh oh!)
Uuhh Ooh! Oh no! Uh oh! Sweet Sugar Lo and Timbo (Tim-Bo!)
Oh No, uh oh, them niggaz bouta get some mo' dough (Uh oh!)
Uuhh Ooh! Oh no! Uh oh! Sweet Sugar Lo and Timbo (Tim-bo!)
Oh No, uh oh, them niggaz bouta get some mo' dough (Uh oh!)
Uuhh Ooh! Oh no! Uh oh! Sweet Sugar Lo and Timbo (Tim-Bo!)
Oh No, uh oh, them niggaz bouta get some mo' dough (We Out...)

LyricsCuz you the one girl, you the one girl
You the one girl, you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one

[Verse One: Cee-Lo]
See when we ride through, we let them see it from the side view
Slow and even so you know no one denied you
The parking lot look like these niggaz like to ride too
They didn't win but I must admit they tried to
Look like we talked up, when we walked up
And when we walked in, money talk then
The bar was bought then, we couldn't be caught then
I see you looking lil' girl, let's go get lost then
Every so often out on and off them (I wanna go shit and you know this)
Well is there anyone else that you could go with
Cool run it back OK, see if she'll play wit Pha

[Hook]
You the one girl, you the one girl

Raw, Raw, Raw, Raw-hide!

[Verse Two: T.I.]
'Bout ten mo minuets and I'm ready to ride
I got ten mo bitches Imma fit up inside
This suburban or Excursion or whatever I ride
I bet it's chrome on the wire, vogue on the tire
T.I.P. refer to me as your majesty or sire
Higher then the rest, Italian drop dead fresh
So much say what I feel with southern finesse
So debonair if he dare bet he got best dressed
Full length mink, gator belt gator vest including shoes
A ten thousand dollar outfit bitch
Yes, dude he dress to impress
A bitch enough to make her want to give me her dress
Blessed with the gift of gab to get gals

Hot enough to hit they pals so get down
You looking good enough to come give me a kiss now
Get a room at the Swiss big as a beach house

[Hook]
You the one girl, you the one girl
You the one girl, you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one

Cuz you the one girl, you the one girl

Put your finger in the air if you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one

[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
You're lookin nice. Hell, let's toast to the broken ice
We've seen each other once and already we've spoken twice
So stay or at the most a moment longer to hear me say
I really did miss you the last time that you went away
I'm serious, I must have you, I won't waste your time
And have you wishin' that somehow you could replace the time
I don't do any magic tricks to try and make the mind
I just convinced that the reality is that you have to race the time
She said "You a playa ain't you, could have what you want can't you"
I replied that I'm also an artist baby I could paint you
In the frame and I don't try hard to not be the same
So she knew she was gon' come before she came

[Hook]
You the one girl, you the one girl
You the one girl, you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one

Cuz you the one girl, you the one girl
You the one girl, you the one girl
Put your finger in the air if you the one girl
Raw, Raw, Raw, Raw-hide!(Girl did you know that ahh...)

[Cee-Lo]
It's our privilege, to have had this conversation
It's our privilege, and to have had this relation
It's our privilege, I been searching all evening
For somebody who can and finally sent me the one
It's our privilege, to have made you laugh
It's our privilege, and to have crossed your path
It's our privilege, your the star yes you are
Can have your autograph cuz you lookin like the one
It's our privilege, to have seen your face
It's our privilege, and I bet you taste so good, let's get one thing understood
I'll be good yes I would, especially for the one
It's our privilege, let have a head-on collision
It's our privilege, girl you made the right decision
It's our privilege, (laughing)

feat. Jazze Pha, Menta

[Cee-Lo]

Lyrics
[Chorus]

[Menta]

And there's a lot, of fine ass women everywhere

[Chorus]

feat. Ludacris
[Cee-Lo]
Come on
Chop chop
Mmm hmm
Yeah man
I'm just gonna play with y'all on this
Hidey ho

Well hello, howdy do, how are you, that's good
Who me, still hot, I still got, you got me nigga
I'm here, I'm there, cause I'm wrong, cause I'm right
I can spit on anything, got plenty game, authentic
My pen's sick, forensic, defends it, he wins it
Again and a, again and a, again and a, again and a
I'm the one, come see, lookey I, and come meet
The young Cee, the one treats everything the sun seek
I'm hollering, can't help, I'm hungry
I cake rap, bake rap, sack rap, trap rap
Same shoes, same shirt, the same work, the same jerk
Claim hurt, the game hurt, my name work, it ain't work
LyricsI'm fast, time fast, I'm first, I'm last
Psychic, I knew you would like it, like this
I write this, priceless, more then my right wrist
Cock back, block track, the beat bleed, speak read
Men eat weed, bead seed, I speed read, you need me
To give it to you like you want it, I own it when I'm on it
Maintain the same thing, nigga rap about the same game
None left, shame shame, plain game, insaine
When I rap things change, me and God, same thing
Money's here, money fold, I'm young, money old
Maybe look, cross hanging down to my tummy toes
I know it, I'm a stop, I'm trying just like life

Yes I can sing, and I can rap
And I can act, and I can dance
And I can dress, sign of the best
So is my guest, man I'm impressed
Hurry hurry hurry hurry, come and see
This is just like child's play to me, ah ha
Little melody and a little drum
All I really need to have a little fun
Hush little one, let's get it done
Dress like a bum, bust like a gun
Hurry hurry hurry hurry, come and see
This is just like child's play to me, ah ha

[Ludacris]
Who the only little nigga that you know with bout fifty flows
Do about fifty shows in a week but creep on the track with my tippy toes
Shhh, shut the fuck up, I'm trying to work
Ah forget it, I'm going berzerk
Cause I stack my change, and I'm back to claim

My reign on top, so pack your thangs
I rack your brain like crack cocaine
My fame won't stop or I'll jack your chain
Give it up, ding ding ding, thanks, the price was right
That gray goose got me loose, but my eyes are tight
It's the truth, give me a light like I'm dynamite
Alright, alright, we goin ride tonight
I'm so dangerous that I gotta bang with this
You could be famous or remain nameless
Better just drop down to your knees, call upon the lord and pray
Better luck next time, cause you wanna open that door today
Your hair sorta gray, it's that sorta day
Flowing so hard over this track and I got more to say
I ain't new to this, I'm so true to this
See what you get fucking with Cee-Lo and Ludacris

[Cee-Lo]
Yes I can sing, and I can rap
And I can act, and I can dance
And I can dress, sign of the best
So is my guest, man I'm impressed

Little melody and a little drum
All I really need to have a little fun

Dress like a bum, bust like a gun
Hurry hurry hurry hurry, come and see
This is just like child's play to me, ah ha
Yes I can sing, and I can rap

Haha
Okay, there you have it little kids
Wasn't that fun?

Saturday morning, Cee-Lo Green and my man Ludacris
Doing this thing, ATL style
This is childs play
Seriously though
I can rap bout any you guys with my tongue tied
Ha ha ha
Don't make me get serious on your ass
You wouldn't like me when I'm serious
I could have said anything I want to

[No lyrics]

[Cee-Lo 1st verse]
Hey, the sun is shining looking like another wonderful day
Look through my sweet collection trying to find some good music to play
While I'm getting ready to face the world
Doing what I must do..know sugar
Nothing compares to waking up this morning to you

[Chorus]
Good morning
Baby, how you been?
Did you sleep well last night honey?
Well I'm off to work again

[Cee-Lo 2nd verse]
Listen I'll call you later
Maybe we can get something to eat
How about our favorite restaurant darling
Where we usually eat
I said whew! Umm um sure looking mighty fine
I can hardly wait for quitting time

Lyrics[Chorus]
Good afternoon baby
I sure missed you while I was gone

But you know I got to work honey, Hey let's just do something later on

[Cee-Lo 3rd verse]
Let's go for a walk nothing gets you in the mood better than a little moonlight
Um hmm, or we can rent some movies and make it a blockbuster night, Hey
Does that sound interesting baby? Sound like an idea?
I would gladly walk you home but you're already here

[Chorus]
Good night baby
I spent the whole day with my friend
Hopefully God will wake me up baby to see you in the morning

[Bridge]
Oh child
Oh because you everything, everything, everything to me
Oh yeah girl I need your love each and everyday Hey
Hmm, child
Hhmmmmmmmmm
Good night baby

And now, the night time...

[Cee-Lo]
Late in the evening
there is the thieving and the trickin and the trappin
and they ain't actin
We make it happen
We'll get the guns on anyones and get to clappin'
Even for rappin'
Does it surprise ya?
We'll readjust and reconcile and recognize up
-that I'm a writer
Oh yes I write up
Now open wide and let me put the night inside ya

This is music usually confused with major motion picture
No one is stricter about it being status for scripture
No put on your gut is goin', you're wearin' what don't fit ya
You better run little one, cause the rhythm's gonna getcha
And when it hits ya, it usually hits somebody with ya
Make 'em risk a total eclipse of sun to get richer
LyricsBaby, a little time and something fine that'll fix ya
With shield love you forgot to remember to miss the - (??)
The nightlife – the dark side of the city
Gon' be on 24 inches, and be defenseless
The nightlife – the dark side of my heart
Where no one really knows you, and no one supposed you
The nightlife – the dark side of my soul
Where if somebody crossed you, kill 'em up off you!
The nightlife – the dark side of the moon
Where the sun is scared to come
(give me some) ha!

(chorus)
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful!

OOOoohhh...wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Give me the night!
The night is gonna getcha
ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha
ahhh its gonna getcha

Give me the night!
The night is gonna getcha
ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha
ahhh its gonna getcha
Give me the night!
The night is gonna getcha
ahhh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha
Hey its gonna getcha
Give me the night!
The night is gonna getcha
ahhh it's gonna getcha

[Chazzie]
I'll be your lady
Farewell the friend
I'll be honest
And I'll pretend
I'll act like I love ya aaauhhaaaaohoh
I'll act like I love ya aaauhhaaaaohohhhhh!

(give me some now)

Take me where the darkness is still beautiful!

[Cee-Lo]
I've been runnin' since rock box
I've cocked locks and locked blocks and rocked rocks
and dropped tops
The obviously odd, five foot six inch guard
In the flesh
I've been the best
I'll get in your chest and in the mess
In your vest and out your back without even getting out the 'llac
I lied about how I really handled that situation about the AK
I'll hit back
If your lead was the only collateral you got I'll get back
Now get flat
Say a prayer cause shorty want this shit back
Sit back, this chit-chat is pitch black
But you can still see what I'm sayin'
And heavy is how I weigh in
Niggaz love singin' sad songs about how bad they want to stay in
Either hold out on basketball playin or make use of some yay' then

Whooooowhooo
Lord shooo feel good to me
I promise, I promise
Not to ever, ever leave this night life alone
This me
me too (yup)
This me
and me three

(chorus)

It's the real...
Hip hop... hey...

(Big Rube)
As I lay motionless
Wondering why we so emotionally emotionless (scrap metal)
My focus is not to be the brunt of the joke in this (scrap metal)
Still played so I'm still a toy
You still afraid so I'm still a boy (something for you haters)
But as my soul this (something for you haters)
Seen many-a solstices and plenty-a equinoxes
Some if any think we equal not cause God does, but cause laws force them
But what are laws if you don't enforce them?
Unless you get it on tape
It's more suspense and mystery than a Presidio tape
Investigation more cartoon than a kid video tape
It's civil liberties rape, in Statue of Liberty shape
The American offense make you watch for the headfake
Well down with Sam I ain't
Three seconds in this paint will make any outside shooter faint
Wait for you to blink
So when you wake up and can't wake up, you know exactly who to thank

(Hook - Cee-Lo)
Oh yes I'm sure, yes I'm sure
I don't care anymore
Anything, anywhere, anytime, any place
Let's do this shit and get it over with
I'll run a boxcutter 'cross your face
I got niggaz here, I got niggaz there
Ready to get down if I make the call
I don't give a f**k if your problem is big or small
Almost anyday I could say f**k it all - f**k it all!

(G-Rock)
Having dealings with skill
My skill, never have to kill
F**k dead 'em in your grill
Yeah f**k nigga for real
With a posse a-standing along
Me and my nina raw chrome
Bucking straight at your dome
Ain't stoppin till the bullets gone
On that bull, cross no killa
Lay no shit round no steala
Stop touchin, my nigga I'll kill ya
And Jesus can't even hear ya
+Thrill+ ya, like Michael Jackson

Acting when the time for action
Shell gun click out my back and
Cee-Lo he strapped with a Mac-10

(Hook)

Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hip hop... hey...
Something for you haters... (any imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hip hop... hey...

(Cee-Lo)
See my words would be believeable, believeable but brief
I would even show you my teeth
You wouldn't even know that you had any beef
But actually I'm angry about it and I haven't had any sleep
Because of one little disrespect, it ultimately do the domino effect
Boy don't you know that I could sit with my back to you
and still have my gat to you, so natural
Close my eyes and breathe in, do that to you
And as far as anyone that's after you heh
The same goes for anyone that run up in your name
I hate ya...

(Hook)

(Cee-Lo)
From the feet, the beat, the gat on the seat
And that shouldn't surprise you, oh I've sold some pies to
Each any every stone, since I'm obviously on
Says fifty to six-five thousand's been blown
I am something to see, yet I'm nothing to touch
I'll kill ya bout nothing, cause nothing's too much
I'll put the barrel to your baby momma belly and squeeze off two
So the world won't have to deal with another f**k nigga like you
I hate ya...

(Hook)

Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hey...
Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hey... REVENGE!

Brother, you've been on my mind
brother, you've changed over time.
Awww brother I'm keepin' my eye on you.

You think that I don't know...Nothin,
but singin the blues.
Brother have i got news you,
I'm something and you know that I'm something too.

[No lyrics]

Ladies and gentlemen, Cee-Lo

[Cee-Lo]
Peace
How y'all feel out there
That's cool
Alright
You know, sometimes I wanna rap
Sometimes I wanna sing, you know what I mean
Sometimes all it calls for is a nice mellow groove
Hit of rimshot, you know
Just get, you know, get you open
But I wanna do a piece for y'all tonight, it's called sometimes
Alright, so check it out
Sometimes a stranger can be your best friend
Sometimes being angry is the best mood
Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better
Sometimes hunger is the best food
Sometimes good just ain't good enough
And other times evil will get you even
Sometimes faith is not knowing any better
LyricsSometimes nothing is what you believe in
Woah

Sometimes I don't even want a hit

Sometimes you fail trying
And sometimes happiness hurts worse
Sometimes people live dying
Sometimes it's the last person that makes you first
Sometimes you'll keep what you don't want
And other times you'll give away what you really need
Sometimes a rich man won't have a dollar
And all a poor man has is greed
Woah

Sometimes
Sometimes I just wanna listen
Sounds good to me
Yeah
Ay yo Lock, put them strings right here
Sometimes I don't think people know I'm as good as I really am

Now my recitings are writing over rhythm's
Regularly reinacts facts of my existance
So what proof of my expertise, many emcees know of me
Using unrequested serious infested poetry
To prevoke what persistance
For instance, I don't let the T.V. screen come in between my daily routine

At a spot where me and my boy went
Someone interrupted our enjoyment
What do you know, an out of work emcee looking for employment
But I'm still curteous with my greeting, brother I'm eating
And his style sounded similar to someone elses
So evidently he's been cheating
But I couldn't question the destiny in which we meet
So, you guessed it, I suggested that he just have a seat
And then I explained to him that I remained in the mean time
Mastering mysterious methods of writing
Finding my piece of mind with soft music and moonlighting
Then supernaturaly I forsee the beginning stages
And then eventually pages get filled completely
You see, I dive into the depths of my soul
Seeking to explore the hidden treasure of a pure literature
While these others are unsure
Being that the deepness makes them doubtful
Deliberatly delaying
Saying they'll settle for whatever washes toward the shore
Delirous from dilusion
My feelings were no more direct so the conclusion is seclusion
Because mixed belief create confusion
To remain plain and simplistic, realistic
Accurate, articulate and absolutely artistic
Uninhibited, unadulterated, unstoppable
Unfuckwittable and unforgettable
But since I've been granted the power of choice
Let God bet the voice he is
So all the credibility be his
So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning
God I shine like Sunday morning
Woah

Sometimes
See you next time

Verse 1:
I've have already seen my future,
And it looks exactly like you.
And being in love is sho nuff a battle.
But I am determined to fight on through.
Now some people might consider me a star or som'(something).
Shit, but they need to shine the light on you
If loving you is wrong
I'm sorry, but right won't do.
I wanna live

Chorus (Pharrell):
Live Live Live, Live together.
Baby we can make it, but first we have to chase.
Live Live Live, Live forever.
Baby you know we could live forever, yeah.

Verse 2:
I know you see me over here in the darkness
Talk please, stop pretending that you heartless.
Okay okay okay alright okay you win babe.
Could you find a way to forgive me again babe?
Get on my knees right here on the dance floor for ya.
I'll tap dance for tips at the front door for ya.
All I'm tryin to say, is forward from this day
I wanna live

Repeat Chorus (1X)

You hear me woman?
What you don't think I'll make a fool out of myself in this club this evening girl?
You gotta know (gotta know) you gotta know (gotta know)
That I love you baby.

Repeat Chorus (1X)

[Chorus]
See there's no way and there's no how
I'd ever stop now, Imma die tryin', I'mma die trying
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
But I'mma keep on. I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)

Before we came being southern wasn't something to claim
In fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame
Smilin and juckin and jivin I was so ashamed
They gave the dirty an apparently appropriate name
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul
Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind
Answering the call of god like a child obeying
Preaching the very same power they killed martin for saying
But you can't break the hold and not holding your breath
Thought if I died for ya, that would be an honourable death
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear
And it's clear my music may not do well up in here
Oh my god being a nigger must be a good payin job
With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss
There is a time and a place for everybody's taste
LyricsBut I know too much and I owe too much

[Chorus]

So here it is, an invitation to an open book
A painful past my heart is still broken look
I know you don't hate me it's not assured they anyone appreciate me
See i've been having a hard time selling my album's lately
In recent news the source couldnt find any microphones to rate me

Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me
Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me?
I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldnt compare to a great me
The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share
But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear
That obviously cost to wear but considerably less than the price that it costs to care
Now I have another loss to spare I doubt em say that I can't win
Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in
You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend
So me and JJ both gon' have to pay bills

[Chorus]

Listen
People still standin in line at the +World Party+ for some +Soul Food+
To get put back in that old mood
They say we like the new 'Lo
and we respect everything that you trying to do 'Lo
Do what you do but just do more that you know
It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry
Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie
Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I coudln't fly
But you getting rich talkin shit so why shouldn't I
I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying
I'm just gon ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin
But I ain't gotta lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya
I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya

[Chorus]
