Ray J Album

[Beat]
Yea welcome to my life (raydiation)
city of carson thats where I grew up (yea)
thats where I knew of (the view) thats all I knew of (yea)
In kindegarten until I got out of skoo I started to hang with the fools I went
from here to bad news.
then ma sister started to blow up I saw the money just go up but I hardly saw
her and my mother I used to
hang round the corner I felt like I was a loner but I got love for my homies
I started changin flirtin with gang bangin had the hook up on ol' skoo so
everyday I was out hangin and
then I heard gun shots they aimin at my head and thats when the fun stopped cuz
next I might be dead i
called my mama on the phone said this is your son I need some help im in a whole
lot of trouble and cant
get through by myself they shot out a plane and flew me out no doubt I said
goodbye to my friends then
disappeared in the clouds they told me ray j you gotta turn yourself around now
or throw it all away and
lay six feet in the ground
Im totally focused I gotta move forward I hear my callin this time I just wont
ignore it into the future

Featuring Fat Joe

Pullin' up, to the club
Six coke dealers in my truck
Sliding to, the V.I room
Hypnotiq is in my cup
Then I felt someone grab me
And say, "Ain't you from Cali?"
Then say, "Welcome to Miami"
Yeah, she was on me heavy
So I brushed up, like "Wassup?"
So her jeans was tight as what (?)
I say next, she made me step
Back a minute, she was wet
By then I was so ready
She got my tank top so sweaty
Tossed her up like Machiavelli
And yeah, she was on me heavy

[Chorus]
Oooh, keep sweatin'
Uh uh, keep sweatin'
(Oooh I'm sweatin', it's so hot, I'm sweatin')
Oooh, well you really don't stop
Do what you do, till your body's hot
Back it on up to the wall then drop
Oooh, now take it to the top!
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, baby
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, oh
Push it back, push it back, uh, push it back, push it back, uh

Come on, 3am, club is packed
Sure by now she's feelin' that
I might go and take her home
Yeah, she knew, I made it known
Sweat drippin' down her face
Took my mind to a different place
Club was cool
If I had my way, yeah, we'd be at my place
Crazy how, she was down
Looked at me and said "Let's bounce"
GT Coupe, in velour
Looked at her and said "Swell huh?"
Then we started to roll out
Almost to my crib and she's down
For whatever, you know I'm down
Yeah, she'll be sweatin' for me now
Come on

[Chorus]
Oooh, keep sweatin'
Uh uh, keep sweatin'
(Oooh I'm sweatin', it's so hot, I'm sweatin')
Oooh, well you really don't stop
Do what you do, till your body's hot
Back it on up to the wall then drop
Oooh, now take it to the top!
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, baby
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, oh
Push it back, push it back, uh, push it back, push it back, uh

[Fat Joe]
Woke up in the mornin'
And I washed my face
Had hoochies on the bed
Three by the fireplace
Another four on the rug
And they keepin' on touch
Everybody do the snake
When they fuckin' wit us
Now, chicks love me
Well, at least they say so
Or maybe it's the money
Or the sweet (?)
See, I don't give a fuck
I just leave and replace hoes
And everyone's a player
But believe me, they ain't Joe

Stains on my shirt
And it's not from that club
Ray J, don't know how to act
U can, if you feel me
We can rock away
I just wanna make ya sweat
Y'all feel me
Right around the world
From east to west coasts
Gonna make sure y'all go home
And change clothes
But now we just want your clothes to be soaked
And if you can't take it
Undress on the dancefloor!

Oooh, keep sweatin'
Uh uh, keep sweatin'
(Oooh I'm sweatin', it's so hot, I'm sweatin')
Oooh, well you really don't stop
Do what you do, till your body's hot
Back it on up to the wall then drop
Oooh, now take it to the top!

Keep sweatin'
Uh uh, keep sweatin'
(Oooh I'm sweatin', it's so hot, I'm sweatin')
Oooh, well you really don't stop
Do what you do, till your body's hot
Back it on up to the wall then drop
Oooh, now take it to the top!
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, baby
Now, push it back, push it back, push it back, oh
Push it back, push it back, uh, push it back, push it back, uh

(i been wildn in tha club screamin r&b and thug...but I dont wanna live that
life no more!)......girl

Damn baby
Just don't understand where we went wrong
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave you...

As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love you first
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
Cause, we couldn't be alone
See your mama knew I was something else, she knew how I felt
Back then we were in school; and that's your favourite excuse
Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list

First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I’ll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don’t need a lot of wishes cause I’ll be okay if I get one

If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I’d make you my whole life
And you’d be my wife, make it right this time

If I had one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish

Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in
If so then searchin' I’ll go, then I can have you for show
Then you’ll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don’t tell me what I’m feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn’t be alone because without you I’m sick
Here’s my wish list

First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I’ll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don’t need a lot of wishes cause I’ll be okay if I get one

If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I’d make you my whole life
And you’d be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish

I don’t even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know

If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I’d make you my whole life
And you’d be my wife, make it right this time

(feat. Brandy)

[Verse 1 - Ray J]
My brothers and sisters
Here some courage and some wisdom
As you go on life's mission
Hope you make the right decisions
Although life's just an illusion
People get lokced up
Some start using
While the government is recrutin
They trainin more soldiers to go out and do it

[Chorus]
But when the war is over
You wont have to worry no more
When the war is over
You wont have to cry on my shoulder

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Brandy]
When we need it
It's time for freedom
No more voices
We can beat em'
Stand together fight the struggle
Take our justice to another level
Your mistakes please don't repeat em'
All your goals you can achieve them
When they tell you no don't believe them
All your enemies you can defeat em'

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge - Ray J & Brandy]
[Ray J]
We just gotta walk away
And pray that it will be okay
know there will be brighter day's
See when you little kids get older
Think of what your elders told ya
Remember all the fallen soldiers
When the war is over
[Brandy]
Everything is meant to be
It will all go down in history
Just be proud of your family
When the war is over
Well we're gonna make it through
Forget about the things we do
I just want peace with you
When the war is over

[Chorus 2x]

[Breakdown]
One day one day one day
I hope to see my brother
One day one day one day
I hope to see my homie Tupac
One day one day one day
I hope to see my nigga Biggie
One day one day one day
I hope to see my girl Aaliyah
One day one day one day
I hope to see my girl Left Eye
One day one day one day

Is how I describe you
Your honest
You make me feel like I can trust you
Take advantage of my space and time
You're so romantic
You know how to make a man feel fine

You took me swimming in the ocean
Had me flying cross the coast and
You always keep me focused (yeah hi yeah)
You told me, you love me
And in my heart I know you mean it
And no one can come between us (yeah hi yeah)

All of the things that you said to me
And all of the things that you did for me
All of these things just let me know you care
All of the things that you got for me
All of the things that you stop for me
All of these things just let me know you care

You're so special
You're the type of girl that is hard to find
And you're so faithful
I'm proud to say that you're all mine
Now that were together
I know the real meaning of love
And when I close my eyes
I still know is you just by your touch

You took me swimming in the ocean
Had me flying cross the coast and
You always keep me focused (yeah hi yeah)
You told me, you love me
And in my heart I know you mean it
And no one can come between us (yeah hi yeah)

All of the things that you said to me
And all of the things that you did for me
All of these things just let me know you care
All of the things that you got for me
and all of the things that you stop for me
All of these things just let me know you care

So gone
Baby we going to shine like crome
I know you hate being alone
So I'm going to take you far from home
And girl
I know you wanna try new things
Like a photo in a magazine
Of me and you together
You gotta trust me

All of the things that you said to me
And all of the things that you did for me
All of these things just let me know you care
And all of the things that you got for me
All of the things that you stop for me
All of these things just let me know you care

And you look so good
Yes you do
And it feel's so good
that somebody out there loves me to
And if anybody out there
Has been in love
Then it's easier to understand

I was just a young boy,
Raised out in Carson,
Ambla Elementary,
Principal Dr. Larson,
Me and my godbrotha,
Tyrin Davis,
walkin down the hallways,
He got all the ladies.
I was just a nappy head
livin on the 9 block,
'ready went to Bedcross,
I was at the chronic spot.
Did a lil' rooster
and my homey shantwain-
and the homey Big B
put me on the game.
The big homey solo
told me not to bang.
He told me don't put
my career to a shame.
But I did, anyway,
and I got in trouble but
I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups,
My nigga E-dog... he had the flow,
And when I snuck out my window,
I used to go smoke up his endo.
Oh

My dad was always at Church
working in his office,
and my cousin Ryan got a
scholarship to college.
Everything start happening
All so quick- fast
I got on a TV show
and started to make cash,
My sister's on the radio
Banging through the stereo,
I remember when we used to go
skate at Skate Depot,
Damn those were the days,
Things just ain't the same,
And to my little homey D-O,
You gotta be careful in this game.

Guess who I do it back
So all I do is that
So how I'm giving back,
Put my city on the map
That's why I do it back
First time I held this track
So how I'm giving back,
Put my city on the map

Oh, I used to take the circuit bus
To the Carson mall,
To go buy cans of spray paint to
hit up on the walls,
I was young and dumb,
I was livin' crazy,
But thank God for my family, cuz
man they really saved me, yeah,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
To everybody in my city
that remembers good times, oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
I took a ride back to Carson
Just to hug a few friends, oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
You see, I know I can get you chillin
On the block around ten, Oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
Ay, And all the soldiers that didn't go
Who are locked up in the pen
