You're All I Need / I'll Be There For You


( With Method Man )

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

(Lie together, cry together, I swear to God I hope we fuckin' die together)

Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my booty away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you

I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning,
Of understanding the bond between man and woman, and child
The highest elevation, cuz we above
All that romance crap, just show your love

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

All That I Got is You


( With Ghostface Killah )

Yeah, ohh yeah, this one goes out,
To all the families that went through the struggle,
Yeah, from the heart, it was from the heart, everything was real

Yo, dwelling in the past, flash back when I was young
Who ever thought that I would have a beby girl and 3 sons
I'm going through this difficult stage I find it hard
To believe why my old earth had so many seeds
But she's an old woman and do to me I respect that
I saw life for what its really worth and took a step back
Family ain't family no more, we used to play ball
Eggs after school, eat gritz cause we were poor
Grab the plyers for the channel, fix the hanger on the T.V.
Rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy
We survived winters snauty nose with no coats
We kept it real but the older brother still had a joke
Sadly daddy left me at the age of six
I didn't know nutin' but mommy neatly packed his shit
She cried, and grandma held the family down
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went straight down
Check it, 15 of us in a three bedroom apartment
Roaches everywhere causons and aunts were there.
4 in the bed, 2 at the foot, 2 at the head
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon, he peed the bed
Pluckin roaches out the cereal box
We shared the epoon, watchin saturday cartoons
Sugar water was our thing, everymeal was no thrill
In the summer school lunch held us down like steel
And there was days I had to go to Shea's house with a note
"Shea and Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
So embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on the door
My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
Mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper
Look Ms. Rose bought us a couch, shes the neighbor
2 brothers who must led this defeat kiiled me
But I remember this mom's would lick her finger tips
To wipe the cold out of my eye before school wit her spit
Case worker had her runnin back for face to face
I caught a case worker, trying to throw us out our place.
Sometimes I'm lookin back and analyze the sky,
Goodnight

Sometime I'm lookin back and analyze the sky
Let myself rock wasn't meant to be so hard

All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through

I sit and think about all the times we did without rain
I always said I woudn't cry, when I saw tears in your eyes
I understand that daddy's not here know,
But some way or some how, I will always be around
All the things that I did from yesterday
Oh from drugs to being bad
Being down and out and I love you always, oh oh

Beautiful


( From "How Stella Got Het Groove Back" Soundtrack )

So beautiful, you are, yeah
Soooooooo
Yes, you are
You're so...

Beautiful
Now you're near
In my life
Oh my dear

Beautiful
Come to me
Now I have
Someone watching over me

All my days and nights so lonely
'Til you came into my life
You came and brought my life back to me
Cause I was dying deep inside

You brought the light
And my life was so dark
You took the fight
And you made it your own
I realy love you
No other love can measure up
To the love that you give to me
And with all this love comes trust

You're so...

Beautiful
Now you're near
In my life
Oh my dear

I opened up my arms to greet you
With unconditional love
Tender sweet is he that helps me
Leave my problems all behind

(Baby come to me)
Baby come to me. You know that I will set you free
(Promise it will be)
Promise it will be an expirience for you and me
(Something beautiful)
Let me take you to a place where there is understanding
Where love flows unselfishly and never ever demanding

(So beautiful...)
So beautiful
(...Since you came into my life)

Beautiful
Now you're near
In my life
Oh my dear

Beautiful
Now you're near
In my life
Oh my dear

( During Chorus )
Now you'r near
In my life
All my fears
Beautiful, Beautiful, yeahh
Come to me
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
Come to me
Someone's watching o... ver me

(Since you came into my life)

Ooohhh, so beautiful
(If I had a dream, it ould be... so beautiful)
I wanna say... that I love you
Oh, the love you give
All the love you give to me
All my days and nights so lonely
And it's so, soooo beautiful
But now I have a friend that I can talk to, yeah
(If I had a dream, it would be... so beautiful)

You're so beautiful

Beautiful
Now you're near
In my life
Oh my dear

You're so beautiful

You are so beautiful

Can't Knock The Hustle


( Jay Z Featuring Mary J. Blige )

I'm makin short term goals,
Whonder whether foes just put away the leathers
And put ice on the gold chilly
With enough bail money to free a big willy
high stakes,
I got more at stake than philly shoppin sprees,
Copin three, duece fever i guess its fully loaded,
Ah yes, bouncin in the lex luger,
Tires smoke like buddha 50 g's to the crap shooter,
Niggas can't fade me chrome socks beamin,
Through my periphial i see ya schemin stop dreamin',
I leave ya body steamin niggas is feenin,
Whats the meanin i'm leanin on any nigga intervenin
With the sound of my money machine
In my cuff runnin over with hundreds
Im one of the best niggas that done it
Six digits and runnin,
Y'all niggas don't want it
I got the godfather flow, the don juan demarco
Swear to god, don't get it fucked up

Takin out this time
To give you a piece of my mind
(Cause you can't knock the hustle)
But though you think you are
Baby one day you'll be a star

That scene out of state where i drop my slang
I'm deep in the south kickin up top game
Bouncin on the highway switchin 4 lanes
Screamin through the sun roof money ain't a thang
Your worst fear confirmed,
Me and my fam roll tight like the firm
Gettin down for life, thats right, you better learn
Why play with fire, burn
We get together like a choir
To acquire what we desire
We do dirt like worms
Produce g's like sperm
Til legs spread like germs
I got extensive hoes, with expensive clothes
And i sip wine, and split ends exposed
But y'all don't know...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Cause you can't knock the hustle

But until that day then
I'm the one whose crazy
Cause thats the way ya makin me feel
(Ccause you can't knock the hustle)
I'm just tryin to get mine,
I don't have the time
To knock the hustle, for real!

Y'all niggas lunchin,
Punchin a clock
My function is lo make much 'n' lay back munchin
Sippin remy on rocks,
My crew somethin to watch nothin to stop
Un ... stoppable
Scheme on the ice,
I gotta hide your crew
I gotta let you niggas know the time like movado my motto,
Stack rocks like colorado bottle off the champagne,
Cristals by the bottle its a damn shame
What ya knot though me slick like i got though (who?)
Fuckin Jay-Z
Pops knew exactly what he did when he made me
Tried to get a nut and he got a nut and what
Straight banana's can a nigga,
See me got the US Open,
Advantage jigga serve like sampras,
Play fake a rappers like a campus (netigra???),
Son you're to eager you ain't havin it? good,
Me either lets get together
And make this whole world believers at my araignment,
Screamin all these blacks got is sports and entertainment,
Until we even thievin,
As long as i'm breathin
Can't knock the way a nigga eatin
Fuck you even

Takin out this time
To give you a piece of my mind
But though you think you are
Baby one day you'll be a star
But until that day then
I'm the one whose crazy
Cause thats the way ya makin me feel,
I'm just tryin to get mine, i don't have the time
To knock the hustle, for real!

Everyday It Rains


( From "The Show" Soundtrack )

Everyday

Everyday it rains
Everyday it rains 'cause things will never be the same
Everyday it rains
Things will never change cause I am not the one to blame

How can I try to make you understand that I'm
Only living a lie
'Cause I have to walk around everyday
With a smile
Everyday

Everyday it rains
Everyday it rains 'cause things will never be the same
Everyday it rains
Things will never change cause I am not the one to blame

Waking every morning knowing you're not there
Is the only thing that gets me scared
All I do is think of you and all the love we shared
Everyday

It keeps on rainin in my life
It rains
And every day's the same
Baby you brightened up my life
So realize

Everyday it rains yeah
Things will never be the same
I am not the one to blame
Just because it rains everyday oh

I'm not the one to blame

Believe me when I say that it rains everyday
Got a cloud over me all the time and I
Don't know why it rains
It rains and rains

Everyday it rains
Everyday it rains 'cause things will never be the same
Everyday it rains
Things will never change cause I am not the one to blame

Waking every morning knowing you're not there
Is the only thing that gets me scared
I don't know when you're comin home
But I'll be waiting with open arms
Believe me when it rains
It rains for real

Sincerity


Now there's two ways we can do this
Keep it real or front
I know you got what I need and I got what you want
And the hunt for soulmates is all over for us
We could go away where nobody would know it was us
Leave behind all the fuss, the studios, the pictures
No autographs, just laughs when I'm wit ya
I know what it's like when they know you now
But bark at your dog baby, and I'll hold you down

Time and time and time again
I knew that our love had to end
But now it's gone so very far
That I can make a brand new start
I thought that we were meant to be
Be one big family
But I was weak and loved you still
No matter what you did, I could forgive

All I need is sincerity
All I need is sincerity

Thinking 'bout you all the time
Never seemed to cross my mind
How you could take the time to kill
Everything our love had built
I never knew how you could hide
Everytime you told a lie
But now I know why you're so cold
But I don't understand
Now that you set me free
I truly think that we
Could find love separately
I need sincerity
One thing, I'm not as weak
I'll always stand alone
But my mind is not made of stone
So I'll go on

All I need is sincerity
All I need is sincerity

Chipped tooth Don
Nasty, blue ice timbs on
Screw it face, half moon part, my tattoos dark
On a scale of tough criminals, nothin' to call me
I'm a rare individual, young and I'm bossy
Guess it come from a rough life, cuffed at night
Lettin' off hot lead that bust from iron pipes
I'm the type that have to shed blood
Pray to the ghost of dead thugs, dead blocks that spread drugs
Fled from the cops 'till when my first joint dropped
I'm still wit my hood, Hollow Point still in the glock
But I've been shitted on by these high class hoes
Even these chickens did me wrong, I was just gettin' on
So I turned cold, givin 'em hard dick and straight to the hole
Like Rod Strickland, it was takin' it's toll
I needed someone I could hold in my darkest hours
A strong couple is a blessing and the heart is the power
Give me someone I could trust, not just a hotty to bone
Does she love Escobar, or love Nasir Jones?
Let me know so I could cop her the stones
What's clear to me, it's sincerity
Somebody I could call my own, yeah
All I need is sincerity

Confrontation


Are you mad because I turned it around
But if I stayed the same
You would still be running your mouth
'Cause you know that I'm the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul
I'll never let you down 'cause I'm on a roll
Volume 2 will soon be in your store
So pick it up and feel my soul

Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation

Everybody wants to know where I've been
'Cause living life the way I do seems to be a sin
The press, they follow me where ever I go
You rub my back, that shit is outta control
Don't run too close because you never know
What I would do if you disrespect me and ohhh...

Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation
Confrontation

Let me confront you
With all of the questions you ask
Tryin' to figure me out
Diggin' up all in my past
I told you what you need to know
My personal life is mine
So beat it with that lyin' shit
Respect your Royal Highness

Everyday


Now I've had my fouls with love
Going through things I never heard of
Breaking up and getting back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather

And there was a time
I thought I'd lose my mind
But my friends and family warned me
Time after time after time

Now tell me
How you gonna get something
When all you gave up is nothing
Everyday, Everyday, Everyday, baby
You twisted my mind

Tell me why is it that I'm bugging
Now that I got every thing
Everyday, Every way, you're gonna pay baby For dissing my love

Now baby it took a view
For me to get over you
I didn't think I could make it
But my faith in God said I could shape it

Back in the day I wasn't good enough for you
I would do anything to win you over
You took advantage of my attention
Oh, did I forget to mention

Everyday you did the same thing
And every hour you switch up on me
And every minute I'll be forgiving
And every second we keep reliving

Everyday you did the same thing
And every hour you switch up on me
And every minute I'll be forgiving
And every second we keep reliving

Now tell me
How you gonna get something
When all you gave up is nothing
Everyday, Everyday, Everyday, baby
You twisted my mind

It was your attitude
That was much too shrewd
Caused you to loose
Now who's the fool

Now tell me
How you gonna get something
When all you gave up is nothing
Everyday, Everyday, Everyday, baby
You twisted my mind

Now tell me
How you gonna get something
When all you gave up is nothing

That's The Way I Feel About You


( Gerald Levert Featuring Mary J. Blige )

You know life is funny
When you look at it
Everybody wants love
And every body's afraid of love
I'm a firm believer that

If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with
The tugs and strife, yeah
You almost pushed our love a little bit too far
We forgot to remember how blessed we arem yeah
And that girl over there
Telling you what she sees
You don't have to worry
She ain't gonna get next to me
You told me think it over
And I thought it over
And over and over, over and over
You see cuz

That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you

I know you've been hurt, so have many of us too
That's a sacrifice life is gonna put you through
Trust in me like I trust in you
Sometimes I look at you, baby
And wonder if God sent you here
Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, it gets a little deeper
Told me to think it over
And I thought it over and over
Over and over and over again

That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you

That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you
That's the way I feel about you

Please, please, please answer to love
If it ever comes knocking at your door
Cuz what's out there knocking, baby
The world don't get enough of, no, no

I know you've been hurt, so have many of us too
That's a sacrifice that life is gonna put you through

Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation it gets a little deeper, and deeper
You told me to think it over and over
And I thought it over and over
You think it over baby

You Don't Have To Worry


You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied

Love is made,
Made of many things
And one of them is trust
But I can't trust you anymore
Things you say (say) how about the things you do?
They won't hurt me, no
They won't hurt me anymore

You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied

Love can make,
Make a stronger man
But you don't love me
(You don't love me)
And I don't feel you're always strong
The hearts you break
With your simple lies
And you better watch out baby
The next heart may be your own

I gave you
My love, my life, my time
Mine was your own
Though you stripped me to the bone
When I asked you how you feel,
If our love was the deal
You told me, we got it goin' on
Now I feel that love is gone

You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied

I'm alright,
I'm alright
I gave you
My love, my heart and soul
You took my love
Now you want to take control
When a good thing comes your way
Why can't you stay
I can't go on another day

You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied

You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
Why why why
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I ain't satisfied
You know I'm gonna be alright

Love Don't Live Here Anymore


( Whit Faith Evans )

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trusting so far away
You changed that right away

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay
Another home

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Through the windows of my eyes
Everyone can see
The loneliness inside of me
Why you had to go away
Don't you know I miss you so
I need your love

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore

A Dream


( From Money Talks Soundtrack )

A dream
A simple fantasy
That I wish was reality
That you come knocking at my door
And we relive this dream once more

Last night I dreamed
That you were here with me
And we were in each other's arms
It was oh so heavenly
You held me close to you
And whispered in my ear
Let's spend the night together
Sharing love beyond the bed

As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
(And the music stopped)
In a flash I was all alone
(It was just a dream)
Haunting me once again

A dream
A simple fantasy
That I wish was reality
That you come knocking at my door
And we relive this dream once more

The day you left
You said you would return
Just when you couldn't promise
That you needed some time alone
You said you'd love me
And someday our love would be
I couldn't understand it
I thought we were both happy

As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
(Then the music stopped)
In a flash I was all alone
(It was just a dream)
Haunting me once again, oh a dream

A dream
A simple fantasy
That I wish was reality
That you come knocking at my door
And we relive this dream once more

A dream
A simple fantasy
That I wish was reality
That you come knocking at my door
And we relive this dream once more

I Used To Love Him


( Whit Lauryn Hill )

Now I don't
I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't

As I look at what I've done
The type of life that I've lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses and blurred my sight
And I used to love him

Now I don't
I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't

I chose the road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power
Ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of, drug of a fiend

See torn and confused, wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn't fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When mama said no then I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn

Now I don't
I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't

Father you saved me and you showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife

Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean

See my soul was weary but now it's replenished

Content because that part of my life is finished

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold see I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with

Now I don't
I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't
Now I don't
I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't

As


( Whit George Michael )

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate know love's the cure
You can rest your mind assured that
I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older everyday
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear

And I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May

For now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Lean On Me


( Kirk Franklin Featuring Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Bono, Crystal )

This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
And for that little boy living with AIDS
(I'ma tell your story, tell your story)
You can lean on me

There's a man
Standing on the corner
He has no home, he has no food
And his blue skies are gone
Can't you hear him crying out

And there's a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walkin' away
Open up your heart and say

I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

There's a child who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother as (as she holds)
(Holds... his hand)

Prayin' that someday the sun will shine again

And the pain, pain will end, come on

I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I never seen His face

Yet I see you dying

And I turn and walk awaaaay

So hold my hand

Let me take you to a friend of mine

He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
And instead of walkin' away, open up
Open up your heart and say

I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends'll be there to catch you when
Catch you when you fall, ooh
Thank you Jesus, yeah
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you could lean on me
Hallelujah

Someday At Christmas


Someday at Christmas
Men won't be boys
Playing with balms
Like kids play with toys
One warm December
All hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas
They'll be no wars
When we have learned
What Christmas is for
When we have learned
What life's really worth
They'll be peace on Earth

Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas
We'll see a land
With no hungry children
And no empty hands
One happy morning
People will share
A world where people care

Someday at Christmas
They'll be no more tears
Where all men are equal
And no man has fears
One shinning morning
We're on our way from today
But Someday at Christmas time

Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas
Men will not care
Hate will be gone
And love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas time
