1. _ Good Ol' Days
It's summertime, it's so hot
I'm wearing shorts a tank top and flip flops
I see birds flying in the blue sky
And marshmallow clouds floatin' by
School's out so it's the weekend everyday
From sun-up to sun-down in the hood we play
Our block party's jammin off the chain
We're lined up dancin' like we're on soul train
The live band sounds so good to me
With Derrick thumpin the bass
And Todd ticklin keys
Laron and Pat both droppin the beat
While Meshun and his boys supply the harmony
I wish this day didn't have to end
But 2morrow will come and we'll do it again
chorus
Let's take it back to the ol' days
When Mamma jammed to the OJay's
While cookin' breakfast on a Saturday
Those were the good ol' days
Let's take it back to the ol' days
When Daddy barbequed on Sunday
And Livin' life was just so easy
Those were the good ol' days
I still like fresh sweats, dreads and adidas
Boy, I only smiled just
2 let you know I see ya
I was the kinda girl
Who liked all the bad boys
When I was young
I lived for the fun and the
Joy my life brought, then
Life, was so carefree
And now that I'm grown
I wish I could go back to when
We would play hide and seek
Watch Schoolhouse Rock on tv
Fat Albert and Prince were my two favorite things
And |
2. _ 17
I was only 17 when he
Came around and passed my way
He was the finest thing I'd ever seen
And his eyes were green
Him and the boys played basketball
While I was chillin at the park
He had a smile that could shine a light
On your darkest days
He came up to me and said
Excuse me what's your name
I was just wondering if you would like 2 get away
Chorus
Do you remember me?
At the age of 17
You fell in love with me
But it was never ever meant to be
Later on as we got to know each other
I just wanted this day to last forever
But as I learned more bout him
I wondered if I'd ever see him again
There was something bout the way he made me feel
It felt as though the whole world were standing still
And when we talked I could see
He was the perfect man for me
When he took me home that night
I knew that I was gone
He walked me to my door
And that's when I started to write this song
Chorus
Do you remember me?
At the age of 17
You fell in love with me
But it was never ever meant to be
Do you remember me?
I was only 17
Lived my life so wild and free
But it was never ever meant to be
I fell in love the moment I laid my eyes on him
But that's just the problem
Cuz he was already in a relationship
He said he wasn't happy
It wasn't working
And I reminded him of the way that she used to be
He said he couldn't stay and that was just the way
At the sweet age of 17
Chorus

3. _ Like A Child
Who knows?
Who knows the things she feels
Who sees?
Just how deep it really is
Cuz everyday so much pain
Cuz her world is in constant change
And if walls could talk who'd they blame
Guess we'll never know
And even though life is here
She don't feel like it's worth to live
Cuz no matter how much she gives
The shadows hold on
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me
Like a child only human
Love is the beat of a lifetime it grows
To show us who we're meant to be
But she feels like a child
Who's mother left by the side of the road
And never came to see again
Cuz everyday so much pain
Cuz her world is in constant change
And if walls could talk who'd they blame
Guess we'll never know
And even though life is here
She don't feel like it's worth to live
Cuz no matter how much she gives
The shadows hold on
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me
Like a child only human
If she was born again
Would things be different
Would she ever know
What it feels like to actually be loved
Would her life repeat
So we can blame it on history
But for right now
She needs someone
To show her love and affection
This girl was me
She says love me
Tell me you need me
Just like it should be
I am a child I am human
She says hold me
Don't set me free
Always protect me
Like a child only human

4. _ Faces
Playground, voices speak again
Thoughts of how we were in my head
Tell me how we lost that innocence
Like a child waking from a dream
Everything's not what it seemed
U were never really a friend 2 me
Must've thought I couldn't see it
That u were only down 4 the ride
& out 4 urself
Now ur bound by the life u left behind
Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Is it gonna be
U pulled the wool right b4 my eyes
I was blinded by ur disguise
Young and na?ve didn't wanna face reality
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lies
Whatcha think that I'd just
Sit back and let u use me
Must've thought I couldn't see it
But the tears'll be urs instead of mine
Now the charade is over
I'm leavin you behind
Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Is it gonna be
Sorry's just a game
U like 2 play 2 ease the pain
But words ain't good enough
When it's all in vain
Is that what u think
I'm just that weak
That u could walk all over me
U betta think again
Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz Honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces

5. _ Ha, Ha
U don't even know me
U don't seem 2 care
If my actions are revealing
Words my mouth can't find 2 share
Cuz in my heart
I wanted 2 believe
In me and you
But my mind knew the reality
An ill fated dream
A vision only I could see
I can't make u love me
Though I want 2
But u soon will c
Chorus
That I, I, I, I, I, I, I coulda, shoulda been your wife
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I woulda loved u 4 life
But U, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, were just 2 blind 2 c
So ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Now ur missin me
My poor little baby
U let me walk away
I just slipped right through your fingers
Bet u wish I woulda stayed
Cuz now that it's slapped u in the face
U want me back
But that's something time won't replace
Lucky u cuz ur the 1
Who gets 2 play the fool
U shoulda loved me
When u had me
Cuz now u will c
chorus
U came like a thief in the night
Crept in casually
U stole my heart
U stole my soul
But I woulda gave it for free
Much too late the damage is done
There ain't no turnin back
Save ur excuses save ur tears
Cuz I got no time 4 that
Cuz I just wanted 2 love u
And I wanted 2 believe
Ur kisses were so sweet 2 me
But now there's a bitter taste
And ur words they sound like the melody
Of a broken record playing

The mystery of tryin to make it happen
Strugglin just to make ends meet
You need a new change of space
A new direction
This whole thing is so confusing to me
I know you got
Dirty hands from a dirty job
I know you got the
Weight of the world heavy on your heart
You've got the power won't you play the part
Baby just believe that you're a

Whether you know it or not
Gotta make the most of what you got
Never stop and don't ever give up

As the cards unfold

Dirty hands from a dirty job
I know you got the

7. _ The Only Thing
Pretty brown eyed girl
She's so sweet and naive
She met a boy fell in love
Carved their name out in a tree
What a perfect memory
There's a swing out by the creek
They would meet there
He put a rose in her hair
Then she kissed him on the cheek
Those were the days of innocence
When a boy just liked a girl
But we didn't know the difference
We were livin in our own world
Chorus
All alone and then I close my eyes
I think back to that time of my life
When everything that meant anything was you
Messed things up grew up a little too fast
I knew it was much too good to last
Cuz the only thing that meant anything was you
After church one Sunday morning
Near the bottom of the stairs
Hair pressed a pretty white dress
Playing a game of truth or dare
I can still hear my momma saying
Child you need to pray
I knew it was wrong
But it's been so long
Since I felt that way
Those were the days of innocence
When a boy just liked a girl
But we didn't know the difference
We were livin in our own world
Chorus
Starry skies under the moonlight
You and I two fireflies enchanted by the night
When I see a rainbow dance across the sky
I feel all warm inside
I get teary eyed
Makes me think about you and I

8. _ Legend
I gotta say,
I must admit never thought
there would ever be someone to open my eyes
When you feelThe taste of it swept me away
Like a drug
Intoxicating, captivating
forces put me under a spell
And I don't feel afraid
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Passion so strong
I can't hold on
Pleasure I yearn
With every burn
Keeps me alive
Melting inside
As legend would have it told
You give me good love
I can taste
Emotions so deep living my wildest fantasies
Explore every single inch of me, baby
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away

9. _ U've Only Got 1
Here's a story that I wanna tell
Bout a guy I used to know so well
Who lived his life so carelessly
The most popular boy in school
Who would've thought he'd fall the victim too
When his future seemed so promising
Some say he came from the perfect home
A family with money
There was love like I have never known
He let the shadows pour through his heart
Poisoned his veins he got lost
Now he's runnin
You know u've only got
Chorus
1 life, 1 life 2 live
U've got 2 wake up
B4 u miss out on it
U've only got 1 chance
1 chance to be
And that's all u've got 2
Fulfill ur destiny
U've got 2 love urself
Love urself
Love urself
There was this friend of mine
She lived a really lonely life
She never thought she was good enough
Such a beautiful silhouette
But I'm ugly is what she said
She didn't know the value of her worth
Some say her father's the one to blame
He loved her in ways she never told
Little girls should never know
She ran away just to save her soul
Escape from the painful memories
She's still runnin
U know u've only got 1
Chorus
No one can have a perfect life
2 live u have 2 survive
U gotta take the good with the bad
And the bitter with the sweet
Life can be so sweet
But first u gotta find the peace
Ur inner joy is yours alone
But first u've got 2 love urself

Don't wanna listen to no radio
Don't wanna see no tv show
Cuz I been workin hard all day
So tonight I'm going out to play
Leave a message on my telephone, y'all
If you come on by I won't be home
Tonight is the night
When I just wanna leave it all behind
Cuz I'm feelin so right
So the Dj's gotta keep it tight

You've got to keep on dancing

Feel the bass and the club is jumpin
On the floor everybody's dancing
Somethings comin over me

11. _ Yesterday/Today
It's just been one of those days
When nothing seems to be going right
And no ones there to lend a helping hand
Just an ordinary day
When it all seems like a fight
Just to make it to the promise land
Tell me how do you keep yourself from fallin
In the midst of all your doubts and all your fears
Tell me how do you keep yourself from drownin
And how do you find the strength to persevere
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok
Teardrops slowly fall from my eyes as I look to the sky
And I question how come life keeps passing me right on by
I just wonder why I can't escape is this my fate
To always be unhappy and how much longer must I wait
Tell me how do you keep yourself from fallin
In the midst of all your doubts and all your fears
Tell me how do you keep yourself from drownin
And how do you find the strength to persevere
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok
One day I know that I
Will truly find peace of mind
Happiness is not far away
Just around the corner comes
A sight of hope to release me from
My chains and set me free
Free so I can breathe
How do you keep yourself from fallin
How do you keep yourself from drowning
Cuz the sun is shining on my face
And I know that things will be ok
Its gonna be better than yesterday today
And tomorrow will be better than today
I can see the dawning of a brand new way
It's gonna be better than yesterday today
Its gonna be ok

12. _ Raindrops Will Fall
There's a time 4 every star 2 shine
And a place 4 every dream 2 see the light
When u have everything
U don't need another reason 2b something
Hold on, and look to your faith
Can't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I walked thru the fire
Fought thru the ragin storm
Til I found the peace
That's inside of me
I've got 2 b strong
I stand 4 my dreams
I was made 4 this moment
Take me as I am
Or nothin at all
I'll keep holdin on
Raindrops will fall
Haunting echoes from a careless word
You'll never know how much they hurt
Dreams are precious don't you know
But they are so hard to follow
Hold on and look to your faith
Don't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I was taught not 2 run away
Cuz raindrops will always fall on your face
When it seems like all hope is gone
Gotta get thru the storm
B4 you can see the dawn
This is all I am
This is all I know
And I won't never ever let go
No I won't let go

So many problems that you felt in your life
And it cuts like a knife
But remember to look for tomorrow
It's not long now
Put some love in your heart
Put some heart in your love
And don't let the doubt steer you wrong
There'll be something out of nothing
When love comes along
You wanna have it all
But to get to the light
Gotta get through the night
Don't let them hold you back, now
Your already there
Put some love in your heart
Put some heart in your love
And don't let the doubt steer you wrong
There'll be something out of nothing
When love comes along
God bless the dreamer
God bless the child
God bless the dreamer
There'll be freedom
Sweet freedom
When love comes along
Child just hold on to your faith
And every door will swing open
Don't throw hope away
Cuz your gonna stay
With no fear in your heart
You've got to reach for your star

Sweet freedom
