Once again I don't follow trends, they just follow me
just like Israelitis thru the Red Sea
It might take U some time b4 U'll want 2 c
the Undisputed truth and get FREE
My level is now what U must learn 2 rise above
Talk 2 D'Angelo or better yet ?usetlove

How is it that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
I'm 2 far right 2 get left goin' sideways, Jack
How is that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
Never We mind what U do, in Moneyapolis - We da MACK!

5 little Indians tryin' 2 steal from my stack
A groove or 2 later, all the critics tell them what they lack
A bowl of them 'O's is like sugar, and no smack
How is it that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?

How is it that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
I'm 2 far right 2 get left goin' sideways, Jack
How is that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
Never We mind what U do, in Moneyapolis - We da MACK!

And I... woke this morning 2 a drum roll - RATATAT
B4 I even got outta bed, I got another track
Who's that brushin' they teeth in the bathroom,
slender, fine and black?
Never she mind what U do, in Moneyapolis I'm the MACK

How is it that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
I'm 2 far right 2 get left goin' sideways, Jack
How is that a brutha always wanna keep another one back?
Never We mind what U do, in Moneyapolis - We da MACK!

4 every royalty point of urs I make a mill$advance
That's y in videos U never c me dance
Y should I, when minorities get half a chance?
In truth: U r 2 me, simply - my biggest fan.

Chuck D.'s rhyme:
Come 1, come all 2 the download ball
There's no curfew 2 hurt U - No substitutions
School's now in session
put down the Smith & Wessons
Real renegades don't invite grenades 2 make the grade
This is a brain raid - Who rise above the lies
Raise above these days
New ways disguised as a craze
Uh, gotcha back against the status they thrown at us
Back against the wall again - HIgh trees catch a lot of wind
Last band standin'
Gotta knack 4 overstandin'
Accordin' 2 plan and look up in the sky
No cable wire
God bless the child

Is that my song playing on the radio?
"It could b G, I can't remember, I wrote it in '84!"
Y'all keep groovin' - U know I got nothin' but love 4 sho
Take it - like Clarence said:
"I got a million of them -

EVE: Ur eyez seem 2 whisper in2 xtasy
4 a long time I never let a soul next 2 me
Melted all over ur frame and tested me Handled it
Honestly? My brain - U scrambled it
Said U'd like 2 b my Adam - I needed that
And U like 4ever I stayed, but U pleaded dead
Made U mine How could U ever leave I
E.V.E. created new feelings The first believe I
Embrace ur whole being Soul I took over
I became ur queen U 2 me my knight, my love soldier
Enjoy my fruit juices abundant, have plenty
Never had 2 think twice: I'm urs alone 4 life simply
Conquer all, breath 4 each other
U'll never find love as warm
or as deep or as enticing as mine
Control U, know U'll die without me Nuff said
Nothing's as tempting as Eve Never doubt me

ADAM: Make it alone without U - clever
U got the tight puller, I got the lever
Sweet drops of rain I am 2 ur umbrella
2gether we make the remix a big seller

So what do U know, U and me finally face 2 face
Checkin' each other up and down in all of the obvious places
Was there ever a reason 4 us 2 b apart?
The air that fills up this room says, "not hardly"
So this is where U end and U and I begin...

The greatest romance that's ever been sold

Now your mind is open 2 poetry that's seldom heard
Ur has never been broken until U've heard these words:
"Ur body was designed 2 respond 2 mine
in spite of Ur desire 2 mold me"
And in the middle of it all - we kiss and like rain we fall in2...

The greatest romance that's ever been sold

I know U feel me, I know that U can dance,
but what do U know about the greatest romance?
Not what U think, but what U believe
What was the real reason that Adam never left Eve?
And if the truth sounds like a memory then U know it was meant 2 b
Leave Ur inhibitions behind Come on, come on, and c
So this is where U end and U and I begin...

The greatest romance that's ever been sold

I know U feel me, I know can dance,
but what do U know about the greatest romance?
Not what U think, but what U believe

Hot wit you
(Uhh, Uhh, Uhh)

(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
(Treat you like the freak of the week)

I want to get hot wit you
I want to get you underneath the cream and do
The marshmallow
Ooh, I want to get hot wit you
I want to get you to do something you thought you'd never do
Like dance in front of my headlights, on a hot summer night - Nude
I want to get hot wit you

(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
(Treat you like the freak of the week)

I want to get hot wit you
I want to make you climb this chain around my waste so I can prove
That I'm the only one that brings out the freak in you
I want to get hot wit you

I wanna get hot wit you
I wanna get hot wit you
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
I wanna get hot wit you
I wanna get hot wit you

Know the body bangin', got you singin'
No shouts from the neighbors, telephone ringin'
Put me in positions thought I'd never do proper
Created a machine, now you know you can't stop her
Tryin' to turn me out, it never happen, so stop this
I'm suppose to tremble cuz they call you "The Artist"?
Let's wild out - can you handle ruff ridin'?
Treat you like the freak of the week and had you hidin' from me
I'd do whatever you like if you could take it
If I could be your girlfriend, you could catch me naked
Can't front sexually, I'd like a sample
But I don't think that I'm ready for you to make me an example
I mean - come on - why front on
I'd never place time - queen of your life
I'm there, whenever
The things that you're feeling for me - mutual
But I'm ready to call you daddy, even get hot wit you

(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
(Treat you like the freak of the week)

I wanna get hot wit you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doin' things you thought you'd never do
Make you suck your tongue and say, "Ooh!"
I wanna get hot wit you
Take you upstairs to the 14th room
Multicolored lights and an ocean view
Ooh, I wanna get hot wit you

So we could drive to the ocean
And drown you in a wave of 100,000 compliments, boo
I want your everyday to be cool
(Hot wit you)
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
And the only way to do that is every night
(Hot wit you)
Get hot, get hot with you
Yeah, baby

(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
Tonight you're living in a fantasy
Your own little nasty world
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight don't you wanna come with me
I bet you're a nasty girl
(Treat you like the freak of the week)

(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Tonight you're living in a fantasy

(Treat you like the freak of the week)

Nasty girl, nasty
Nasty girl, nasty
Nasty girl, nasty
(Treat you like the freak of the week)
Nasty girl, nasty

Some days I feel tangerine
Some days I feel blue
Some days I just wanna black out
Everything I felt for U
Even though I take your picture
Everywhere I go
I use it for a coaster and drink the overflow

Some days I make a lot of money
And give it all away
2 take my mind off the tangerine colour
Of your negligee
Beggars can't be choosy
If they don't know how 2 serve
U got a different phone number
...and a lot of nerve

Some days I feel tangerine

So far, so pleased
I like the way U touch me
I like the way U tease
No car, no keys
I had 2 get us stranded
If U know what I mean
Big scar on my knee
Begging 4 a kiss is such a dull routine
Still I’m...
So far, so far, so far, so pleased

So far, so fine
I find another beauty mark
With every glass of red wine
So fast the time
Everytime I have to go, I go and lose my mind
It’s hard, okay
That’s what happens
When a boy and girl don’t get 2 play
So far, so far, so far, so pleased

(Yeah)
(Come on, come on)

So far, so pleased
I like the way U touch me
I like the way U tease
No car, no keys
I could spend the night and leave at 10:15
So far, so far, so far, so pleased

Ooh-ooh yeah
So far, so pleased

Ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-oh-ooh {2x}

It’s late and I’m running out of clever things 2 say
The kind that will bring a girl like U 2 tears
There’s only one more glass of this rosé
Let’s throw it on the fire with our past
And dance the night away until...

The sun, the moon and stars
Don’t seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always

It’s late and I think it’s about time 4 U and me 2 get closer...
2 get closer than we ever did before (ooh)
Whenever there’s a tide U can let it ride inside your interior
Lay back, relax upon my shore (Ooh)
Ooh-ooh baby, I wanna make love 2 U right here
One inside the other one - no fear, we’re here until...

The sun, the moon and stars
Don’t seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always

Blow out this candle sunlight
And come lay down next 2 me
And paint another rainbow - ooh-wee (ooh-wee)
Eclipse this light with extasy

[...]
Come on, come on
Let’s lay down
I’m walking out of what to say
That kind of lucky rhyme
Make a chippy wanna say:
”Whisper in the belly
2 me rocking rosé”
Do U like I do
Come on and dance the night away
Let’s lay before they get to close the door
U and me, we got 2 get down on the floor
Come on, let the tide ride in and off the shore
I wanna love U once again - and then some more
Lay your head back I got my hand behind your head
Like U do the limbo supple on the bouncy bed
Let’s bouncing on the summer spring
And when U start 2 fall
U come like a cold winter due in Montreal

(Come on baby)
(The sun, the moon and stars) - hey-hey, hey-hey
(The tide ride) - hey-hey, hoo-hoo
(The tide ride - hou)

The sun, the moon and stars
Don’t seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always

The sun, the moon and stars
Don’t seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars

Why you screamin'?
You know I'm not a man'o'war
Break the gold chain that I gave you
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, "You should go get her"
But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time
(Waste of time)
Ah, yes it is, it's a waste of time, ooh
Look at me

I need to get out of this city
I need to get you outta my head
I need to get away from the words that you said to me

Why you screamin'?
You know I'm not a man'o'war
What makes you think that I could put something inside of someone
That I put inside of you?
Even if I tried to, if I tried to (Tried to, tried to)
I couldn't cuz I still smell like the last time that we...
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time
(Is a waste of time)
Oh, yes it is
Is a waste of time, baby

Ooh
I need to feel wanted again (Wanted again)
I need to feel love is alive, yeah (Love is alive, is alive)
I need to hear you say that you ain't lookin' for another reason
To make me cry

Why you screamin'? (Ooh uh)(Why?)
You know I'm not a man'o'war
I've been tryin' to make you happy, baby
Ever since we were sophomores
But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time
Oh, yes it is (Is a waste of time)
Ooh, it's a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time

(If there is no future)
If there is no future
(Then there is no past)
Then there is no past
(All we've got is right now)
All we've got is right now
Let's make it last

Why you screamin'?
(Can we make it last?)
You know I'm not a man'o'war
Break the gold chain that I gave you
Throw it down on the floor (Oh, throw it down)
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, they tell me, "You should go get her"
(That's what they tell me)
But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I need to get out of this city
I need to get you outta my head
I need to
How did Lenny say: I got to get away, I got to get away
Away from the words you said to me
Tryin' to take away my dignity
Peace of mind is where I should be
Instead of this 7 page letter, see
If you wanna serve me a plate of blues
I won't buy you no more shoes
Donatella lace you in dresses, still
I gets no love, but I pay the bills
I will, I will pay the bills
100,000 dollars and some change...
I've been trying to make you happy, baby
But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Is a waste of time

Why you screamin'?
You know I'm not a man'o'war
Break the gold chain that I gave you
Throw it down on the floor, on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me "You should go get her"
But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

This kind of poochie make u beg - (Baby knows)

Give me your number and I call U

I could tell from the moment U walked in the room
That it wasn’t your dress U had on
That wasn’t your perfume
And what happened 2 the ring that I gave U?
What am I 2 assume?
I love U, but I just don’t trust U anymore

U could tell from the moment U looked in my eyes
That I could see right through Ü
U must apologise
I’ve always given U the best in life
Even in the wrong, it was right
I know U trust me, but U don’t love me anymore
No

I remember meeting U here in the good ol’ days
I would never pick the flower of my favourite protegé
Maybe if I would have
Then U would not treat me this way
U tricked me - but U will not anymore

No, no

Strangely beautiful
Beautiful strange
That's what we said
instead of the name
If U count the times
He took all the blame
U would find the reason
behind the game

In the darkness
we must look 4 the way
Words so strange
that only the mind can say
If it makes no mind
what color or holy day
why is this game
the only one that we play

Dive inside your sould if U wanna know
the light inside the darkness 4ever glows
The son is like the diamond inside the coal

I never thought U would be the one
That I’d wanna run 2
I never thought U would be the one
That would make me care
And even tho U done me wrong
4 some strange reason I can’t xplain
I get happy knowing U phoned
Cuz your voice could kill my every pain
Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought U would be the one
That I’d wanna give 2
A diamond ring, anything that U ask me 2
But there U were, bragging 2 your friends
Making up a story that’s so lame
That I was down 2 be your sugardaddy
One way ticket to ghetto fame
Why do we play this silly game?

Every other night U weren’t at home
Out in the streets, just acting grown
Never with a bodyguard or chaperone
Then I hear a rumour that breaks my heart
Instead of taking care of yourself
U’re tearing yourself apart
Now why U wanna
(Why U wanna, why U wanna ...)
Now why U wanna go and do that, love?

Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought U would be the one
(That I’d wanna run 2) that I’d wanna run 2
I never thought U’d be the one
That would make me care
No matter how far I run
I’ll never be the same (I’ll never be the same)
In the end, in the end, there’s only us 2 blame
Why do we play this ...
Why do we play this silly ...
Why do we play this silly game?

Yeah
Ooh-ooh
Tell me why? (Tell me why?)
Oh why? (Oh why?)
Oh why - why?

Why do we play this silly game?

Oh-ooh

Wherever U go, whatever U do
Oh please, remember that I’ll always be there 4 U
U don’t have 2 call, U don’t have 2 say
Just think about me and I’ll be on my way
I don’t have 2 worry, I’m sure U’ll be fine
Cuz if U stay happy, then what’s your’s is mine
Wherever U go, whatever U do
Remember that I’ll always be there 4 U
(Oh Baby)

Wherever U R, think of your dreams
Oh please, remember life ain’t always what it seems
4 each rainy day (rainy day)
That comes your way
The sun will come shining and U’ll be okay
Keep on smiling - every girl and boy
Remember when U were children U had toys
Wherever U R, think of your dreams
Remember that dreams become the life U lead

Whatever U play, it’s okay 2 lose
Ooh sometimes (sometimes...)
As long as U learn from every game U choose
If one thing is sure, U’ll always endure
If U try your best at everything U do
Say what U mean and mean what U say
The price 4 a broken heart - it‘s 2 much 2 pay
And nothing is worth it, if U don’t have 2 try
The higher the stakes - the higher the sky

Wherever U go, whatever U do
Please remember

Don't hate me, cuz I'm beautiful
