Love


Well it was like a party
But the kids seem to scatter off
(Kids seem to scatter off)
You told me all those lies
That I said you did
And I can't give one more chance
But I betcha I will show you
That the pick of a letter comes a little thicker
And I said it would
And it's been coming for a long time

L!
Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime
O!
Our position is just to see what you can do
V!
Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now
E!
This is serious so you'll know what to do

You been wasting time
Are you out of your mind
Well you show me some love

With intentions high
You probably need a place to count your cash
(Need a place to count your cash)
You said you're sorry so many times
And I'm sorry that you ever did
Well you can take your life of love
And stick it up in your main frame
Cause there'll be no more second chances
No more hot romances
And I like it this way
So let me break it down for you

L!
Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime
O!
Our position is just to see what you can do
V!
Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now
E!
This is serious so you'll know what to do

Better stop playin me
Start lovin me
I ain't the same woman giving love for free
All my life sittin, thinkin how to please you
Been flyin so long now, my screws are loose
Now it's time to move
Cause I'm sick and tired of playin the fool
Cause you play to lose
And I play to win
Tried not tosin
Treid to be your friend
Like every other girl
Never sexed your friends
But it's over now
And you saying, "How?"
I found something new
That worth the while
Instead of meesin with a bump cat poster child
But I'm focused now
People saying, "Wow!"
In place of a frown on my face, a smile
You must be out yo mind
I have no time to get you ready for a love of a liftime

L!
Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime
O!
Our position is just to see what you can do
V!
Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now
E!
This is serious so you'll know what to do

You been wasting time
Are you out of your mind
Well you show me some love

L!
Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime
O!
Our position is just to see what you can do
V!
Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now
E!
This is serious so you'll know what to do

Cause I know we feel so good
And more of two we escape this pressure
You know what? We should

Whishing the love, much more soon
One wanna, share the moon
And we make love, all that day
Steal away

You know I really need you sugar

I can't wait to really bounce so
We can be together there's no doubts
That my love has no limits
So I will wipe away your froud
How come your sexy secrets
Now I'll join you, for the rest of my life

Steal away, steal away
Before a day, the mouth say
Whishing the love, much more soon
One wanna, share the moon
And we make love, all that day

Car keys to my mens Benz and Bil away
Spillin say, whatever you man like it or not

So I'mma be pipe in line
Icey on hot mami hold on if you aint
We put a flick on your hand
I'll front your navel
Whatever it comes able to make you happy
Whatever's the back fo' dot six in the navy
Blakes and the pillow fluffed up
And we shine like we Puff Dad
Blowin that dro till we fucked up
Is longs up, I just dolos honey
All his honey he wild like I stole his money
Is gold his honey Is my gold this money
He can have my wife, while me and you live a lavish life
Which be see exactly tipe, tounges and brass
I'm hoping to God to say no more

Steal away, steal away
Before a day, the mouth say
Whishing the love, much more soon
One wanna, share the moon
And we make love, all that day
Steal away

Steal away, steal away
Before a day, the mouth say
Whishing the love, much more soon
One wanna, share the moon
And we make love, all that day
Steal away

Crazy Games


Once he seen you get so comfortable
Never wantin to commit fo sho
Always lying bout the girl next door
That's how all these things began
You let you gaurd down and he does you in
All you secrets hes been holdin that in
To throw back at you when it benifits him
So he can go and play with all his chickens

Tell me where the lyin and the front begun
Why you playin wit me cuz it ain't fun
How can it be two if I'm your only one
That's how crazy this game is
Workin so hard to complete ourselves
Never thinkin that our love was on the shelf
Livin our life like there was no one else
That's how crazy this game is

Who you messin with cuz all the games you play
Oh you didn't know my name was Mary J
All the chicks you hear that heard they all look slave
Tryin ta gas me sayin things have changed
Now your like the furthest thing from my brain
Never thought I had to say it to you this way
All these years I been with you boy I feel so played
Now I need to go jump in my blazer

Tell me where the lyin and the front begun
Why you playin wit me cuz it ain't fun
How can it be two if I'm your only one
That's how crazy this game is
Workin so hard to complete ourselves
Never thinkin that our love was on the shelf
Livin our life like there was no one else
That's how crazy this game is

Marys say: "This is one thing I will not tolerate"

Reclusive...
Excuses...........
For evolution.

No More Drama


So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired

Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine

No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Noone's gonna make me hurt again

What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game messin with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Nooone's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tired of cryin everynight)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (tired of your playin' game with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No more, no more, No more, no more
No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every night)
No more fears (no more waking be up in the morning)
No drama, no more in my life

No more drama, no more drama
No more drama, no more drama
No more drama,
No more drama,
No more drama,
No more drama,
No more drama,
No more drama in my life
So tired, tired of these drama

Keep It Moving


Ooohhhh,oohhhhh,oohhhhhh
Some come around me try to call my bluff
Pushin my buttons just to see if im tuff
Behind my back spreadin all kind of lies
Cuz your an agent workin on both sides
Hangin around me tryin ta get some shine
Your mad at me becuz I work for mine
Plus sweat and tears just to make a dime
While you sit back and try to take whats mine

Don't let em push you to the limit cuz they like it a lot
And if they keep pushin just tell em ta just
Keep it movin (keep it movin)
Keep it movin yaaah
For you and your partner can keep hatin on me
And I'm sorry that you feel this way but you can just
Keep it movin (keep it movin)
Keep it movin yeeah

Spiritually, mentally, physically
I'm tryin my best to better myself and no one else
But your so busy thinkin that this money is gonna turn
Me ta someone else and settle for less
Get your own life, on your own time,
Stop hangin around tryin ta drain me dry
I've been broke before,I cant do it no more,
But if I have to it won't be over you
No one in this world can make me self-destruct
If you listen real close you would hear just what I'm tryin ta say to you, you and your crew
So stop sittin round waitin on me ta lose

Don't let em push you to the limit cuz they like it a lot
And if they keep pushin just tell em ta just
Keep it movin (keep it movin)
Keep it movin yaaah
For you and your partner can keep hatin on me
And I'm sorry that you feel this way but you can just
Keep it movin (keep it movin)
Keep it movin yeeah

Where I've Been


( Featuring Eve )

To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands...
Well I understand that

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

I grew up as a 70's baby
Brought up in poverty and sin
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
Never acred how she was dealin' within
I knew all the words to
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
And when it came to the biggest crusher
No he wasn't my man
At the age of seven years old
A strange thing happened to me
Before I even saw
My life had flashed before me
And I've got the mark to show
And it became a thang of beauty
So I gotta let you know
That my life, that my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

Now mama's workin' hard all day
And she said this before she left home
Take care of your little brother
Have the place cleaned when I get home
All these priorities
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
But at the time for me
Being grown had seemed so lone
Woke up and I'm seventeen
With nothing going for me
Except the fact that I sing
You know it hurts so much
From all the sights that I've seen
From abusin' the hole in trust
You probably couldn't take some of things
That I've lived in my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's hard and the street's a jungle (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Especially with your pretty colors (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
So stay low and keep it humble (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
Black men keep searching and you'll be found

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

In this world of continuous bullshit and full clips
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
Jealousy rules the world, take shit at any cost
Gotta change our state of life, keep it worth livin'
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
What about encouragin' the youth to do well
What about givin' back- what about unifying
Shit we all black- get it together
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
Learn to change the negative to positive situations
Don't hold the lessons that you learn
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been
Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going
Is not where I'm stoppin' at

Never Been


I've never been touched like this
I've never been
I've never been kissed like this
I've never been
I never knew it felt like this
I never knew
I never knew a love like this

Pardon me
Excuse me
Forgive me
I can't help it
But I see
The energy
'Tween you and me
And I'm selfish
Don't want no
Other girls
Calling you
Never ever
Cause I want
Us to stay
Together
Forever

I've never been touched like this
I've never been
I've never been kissed like this
I've never been
I never knew it felt like this
I never knew
I never knew a love like this

Believe me
When I say
There is no one
I mean none
That can do
The things you do
The things you did
And get done
And I believe
That I can feel
This way
For a reason
In all the ways
You make me feel
Boy you keep
Me breathing

I've never been touched like this
I've never been
I've never been kissed like this
I've never been
I never knew it felt like this
I never knew
I never knew a love like this

What you got
Them others don't
Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot
Them others don't
Cause baby you're the one I love
What you got
Them others don't
Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot
Them others don't
Cause baby you're the one I love

I've never been touched like this
I've never been
I've never been kissed like this
I've never been
I never knew it felt like this
I never knew
I never knew a love like this

I've never been touched like this
I've never been
I've never been kissed like this
I've never been
