Penitentiary Blues Lyrics |
|
Here's my philosophy Livin' in a penitentiary Brothers all on the corner Tryin' to make believe Turn around ain't got no pot to pee Make me mad when I see ya sad Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad But you can't win when your will is weak When you're knocked on the ground
Evil, don't you test me Evil, you won't win
Oh why world Why world Do want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Oh why world Why world Do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah
I'm tellin' you the truth I hope I'm not being too cruel Since you ain't playing by the rules I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool
Evil, don't you test me Evil, you won't win
Oh why world Why world Do want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Oh why world Why world Do you want me to be so mad yeah Say why
I am a warrior princess I have come from the other sun Gather all of your members Unite them as one Move together in harmony Build a bridge Now destroy a bridge Eliminate your weakness Conquer evil, the demon And live forever together
Oh why can't we get along and Take all the funky tones And make up a funky song That be bangin on and on Make me mad when I see ya sad With the same look ya momma had But ya can't win when your will is weak But ya get out ya seat Oh why Why Why world Do you want me to be so mad So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so mad Why yeah, why yeah, why yeah Why yeah...

Didn't Cha Know Lyrics |
|
Oh hey...
Ooh hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
Ooh hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Tried to move but I lost my way Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Knew the toll, but I would not pay Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Cause you never know where the cards may lay
Time to save the world Where in the world is all the time So many things I still don't know So many times I've changed my mind Guess I was born to make mistakes But I ain't scared to take the weight So when I stumble off the path I know my heart will guide me back
Ooh hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
Ooh hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Tried to run but I lost my way Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn't cha know, didn't cha know Knew the toll but I would not pay Didn't cha know, didn't cha know I said ya never know how the cards may lay
Love is life, and life is free Take a ride on life with me Free your mind and find your way There will be a brighter day
Love is life, and life is free Take a ride on life with me Free your mind and find your way There will be a brighter day |
My Life Lyrics |
|
I was standing downtown, downtown Staring at the pebbles on the ground Tryin to figure out a way up out of this town And I know yeah, I'm not the only one So many people out there chase the sun
If you're looking for a free ride, you better run chile Or you sure won't get too far, oh You'd better dance a dance To make the rain come down If you want to be a star, oh my life
My Life (Brother you know) Sho ain't been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You're gonna go through changes My life No turnin back (I'm tellin' you no)
Evernow and then I Wanna to throw my hands up in the sky Cause one day I know I'll be flyin high And I know yeah I got to get down On my knees and pray Cause in heart I know I'll see that day
When my freedom comes along I'm gonna run chile Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down And they know who they are, oh my life
My Life (Brother you know) Sho ain't been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You're gonna go through changes My life No turnin back (I'm tellin' you no)
My Life (Brother you know) Sho ain't been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You're gonna go through changes My life No turnin back (I'm tellin' you no)
No turning back Yeah oh baby No turning back Yeah oh No turning back Yeah oh baby No turning back Yeah No turning back... |
... & On Lyrics |
|
A one-one, two one two On & on & on & on Wake the fuck up 'cause it's been too long Say wait a minute, Queen What's your name I be that gypsy Flippin' life game from the right brain Ascension maintained Rolling through like a burning flame Like a super nova star She be the light When they in the dark Morning The moon pass the sun Four constellations start forming Across up in the sky But everybody wanna ask me why
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
Said I'm a Pisces Zika deka del Well well I'm raising hell People always tryin' to find the world I'm in I'm the envy of the women and I rule the men
2 fish, 1 swimmin' up stream 1 swimmin' down livin' in a dream But when she loves she tends to cling When incense burns, smoke unfurls Analog girl in a digital world The rasta style flower child Zip dip dow, zip dip dow The gold tooth smile Split them vowels Bling bloom bling, melinated I'm 'bout ta give birth to church But everybody want to ask this earth What'
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
Bridge! I remember when I went With Momma to the Washateria Remember how I felt the day I first started my period Remember there in school one day I learned I was inferior Water in my cereal
Badu in your stereo Holla if you hear me though Remembering is good if you don't Let it be the fear in you Wrap ya head with this material
Cause you did not do your math My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone Mad props to god ja born
Things just ain't the same for singers Gotta sing on the beat the bring us But that's all I have ain't got no mo But still the people really wanna to know
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
What good do your words do If they can't understand you Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu |
Cleva Lyrics |
|
This is how I look without makeup And with no bra my ninny's sag down low My hair ain't never hung down to my shoulders And it might not grow Ya' never know
But I'm clever when I bust a rhyme I'm cleva always on ya' mind She's cleva and I really wanna grow But why come you're the last to know?
I got a little pot in my belly So now a days my figure ain't so fly My dress ain't cost nothin' but seven dollars But I made it fly And I'll tell ya why
But I'm clever when I bust a rhyme I'm cleva always on ya' mind She's cleva and I really wanna grow But why come I'm the last to know?
Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright yeah
Alright with me Said that I'm alright with me Said that I'm alright with me Said that I'm alright with me Said that I'm alright with me Said that I'm alright with me |
Booty Lyrics |
|
Your booty might be bigga But I still can pull your nigga But I don't want him Ya got sugar on your pita But ya nigga thinks I'm sweeter But I don't want him Ya know the whole encyclopedia But ya nigga thinks I'm deeper But I don't want him Got a whole lot a junk off in ya trunk But ya nigga think I'm live and I keep him crunk I don't want him
Hey, hey, hey I don't want him cause of what he doin to you And you don't need him Cause he ain't ready See I don't want him If he ain't made no arrangement with you I hope you would've done the same thing for me too
Your kisses might be wetter But your nigga likes mine better But I don't want him Ya got the beans and rice and the hot ho cakes But ya nigga still over here in my plate I don't want him Ya got a PHD, Magna Cum Laude But ya nigga love me with a GED I don't want him You the one with all the money And he knows my money's funny But I don't want him
Hey, hey, hey I don't want him Cause of what he doin to you And you don't need him Cause the boy ain't ready
Got ya pad all decked out fa sho But ya niggas at my door, thought I don't want him Well you can do the butterfly and the tootsie roll But ya nigga straight sprung off the way I stroll I don't want him Ya know the whole 120 + degree But you can't keep ya guy up off his knees I don't want him Got a 9-5 and a 6-10 But ya nigga told me not to work again I don't want him
Hey, hey, hey I don't want him Cause of what he doin to you And you don't need him Cause he ain't ready |

Orange Moon Lyrics |

I'm an Orange Moon I'm an Orange Moon Reflecting the light of the sun
Many nights he was alone Many, many, many nights His light was so bright that they turned away And he stood alone Every night and every day Then he turned to me He saw his reflection in me And he smiled at me when he turned to me Then he said to me
How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is
I'm an Orange Moon I'm brighter than before Brighter than ever before I'm an Orange Moon and I shine so bright Cause I reflect the light of my sun I praise the day, he turned my way And smiled at me He gets to smile and I get to be orange, that I love to be
How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is
(Oh...) Shine so bright (Oh...) He ruled the day, I ruled the night (Oh...) Shine, shine, shine (Oh...)
How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good he is, how god is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how god is How good it is, how good it is
I'm an orange moon I'm brighter than before, brighter Reflecting the light of the sun Smile at me |
