Kevin Michael

Kevin Michael, Lupe Fiasco
Hey, little girl, don't cry, dry your eyes
I wrote this song for you
Now, it goes down

Can you imagine every world?
Every boy and every girl
They'd all get the same things
They'd all get the same things

A little dough, a lot of love
With a mom and dad to hug
They'd all get the same things

Huh, but down here the world is real
And it don't matter how you feel
Because, we don't get the same things
We don't get the same things

You got to work to stay alive
Forty hours, from 9 to 5
We don't get the same things

All my gangster friends, yeah
And all my skater friends
(What they want?)
We all want the same thing
(What we want, now?)
We all want the same thing, yeah

DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs
We all want the same thing
Same thing, same thing
Same thing, same thing, now

And, I think about the way
All the politicians say
(What they saying, now?)
Say they want to change things
Say they want to change things

But every year, they take some more
And I don't know what it's for
Though, they never change things
(They don't change nothing)

But, if you want to make it stop, stop
Well, first, you got to start
Making some big, old changes
Doing some different things, yeah

Get up out your bed, think outside your head
And you won't get the same things
Same thing, same thing
Same thing, now

All my gangster friends
And all my skater friends
(What they want, now?)
We all want the same thing
(What we want, now?)
I said, we all want the same thing

DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs
We all want the same thing
Same thing, same thing
Same thing now

All my ex-girlfriends
And all their new boyfriends
(What they doing, now?)
They all want the same thing
(What they want, now?)
I said, they all want the same thing

From Wall Street to the hood
New York and Hollywood
We all want the same thing, yeah
(And what you say, what you say?)

Yeah, first say pie to the people
The have's and the have not's
Are we willing to give up all the hours
Just to make it all equal?

And make players out the mascots?
'Cause, right now, we don't see you
Like the Sasquatch
Unless, the root of all evil is what you have got

You're even more visible
If your hair is lots
If not banging from the beach
Then banish you to the sand box

With no lifeguard to come after you
No amount, you don't count, like Dracula
Your bound to drown like a Titanic passenger
Or, a Haitian refugee trafficker

They come and get you off the island
That you crashed into
They take a yacht
And send the slave ship back for you

Money matters, don't let it master you
Pressing on the answer
Till they give you what you're asking for
It's like that, yeah, it's like that

This is a message to
Remind you there's just one who calls love
Take them to church, Kevin

All my gangster friends
(What they want, now?)
And all my skater friends
We all want the same thing
I said, we all want the same thing

DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs
We all want the same thing
Same thing, same thing
Same thing, same thing now

All my ex-girlfriends
(What they want?)
And all their new boyfriends
They all want the same thing
I said, they all want the same thing

From Wall Street to the hood
New York and Hollywood
We all want the same thing, yeah
We all want the same thing, yeah

Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your freaky secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can I have 'em' let's go

Up in your room, know your mama ain't home tonight
What can we do, laying back in my draws just watchin' TV
Right next to you with my hand on your thigh, look in your eye
You feel it too and what I wanna know is

Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your freaky secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can I have 'em'

Girl, I love the way you tease me, the way you play
Love the way you act like it's not today
Know you really don't mean what you say
When you mean mug and push me away

Girl it's so cute
And I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
Tell me the truth
But what I wanna know is

Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your freaky secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can I have 'em'

Can I have you all to myself'
Can I go down, help you undress'
You say slow down but I know it's time
To let go, let it go

Your Vicki Secrets, oh, oh
Your Vicki Secrets, oh, oh
Your freaky secrets, oh, oh
Your Vicki Secrets, oh, oh

Up in your room, know your mama ain't home tonight
You feel it too and what I wanna know is

Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your freaky secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can I have 'em'

Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your freaky secrets, can you keep 'em'
Your Vicki Secrets, can I have 'em'

Your Vicki Secrets
Your Vicki Secrets

Do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
You better, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Do that, do that, do, do that, that, that

Here we come yo, here we come
Here we come yo, here we come
Here we come yo, here we come
It's your boy Kev Mich on the microphone

Yo, I love the hood but it gets rough
Growing up there sometimes it gets tough
Especially when mommy is daddy too
And she's trying to make a man of you

But why complain, that's not what's up, yeah
Negative turns to positive, if it's wrong do the opposite
What doesn't kill only makes you strong
Hustle hard and keep grindin' on

'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed
And I'm too fresh to be pressed
There's so much going on today but I can't let it worry me
'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed

You better, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
You better, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that

Yes, I know that I am older now
But sometimes my problems get me down
My bills are stacked up, my credit's jacked up
Rent is racked up and my toilet's backed up

Damn, wish I could flush the drama away
Negative turns to positive, if it's wrong do the opposite
What doesn't kill only makes you strong
Hustle hard and keep grindin' on

'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed
And I'm too fresh to be pressed
There's so much going on today but I can't let it worry me
'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed, to be stressed

Blessings decent on us, sometimes we neglect
What we think is problematic can sometimes be perfect
Acknowledge our shortcomings and build up on our strength
Emotions can circumvent, down play or just prevent

Fine if she doesn't wanna speak to you, bro
She can pass on the golden goose, that shit's on her
And it's cool if he act a fool, shit's always real
As the days go by he may not cry but loss he will feel

Make it easy on yourself, stay thankful and strive
Let go of inhibitions and let go of your pride
As Kev sings the song, we're gonna push it along
Too blessed to be stressed, no stress in the strong

wouldn't put you through it, if I didn't do it
And I didn't know firsthand that whatever you want, you can have
Don't waste time complaining, live your life today and
The future's right up in your hands, what you gon' do with it then

You better, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
You better, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that

'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed
And I'm too fresh to be pressed
There's so much going on today but I can't let it worry me
'Cause I'm too blessed to be stressed

Go on and do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
You best to do that, do that, do, do that, that, that
Come on, do that, do that, do that, do that, yeah

They're mad, they wish they had the love we have
We're booking flights and don't even take bags
We did ?em dirty last summer
Rover Sports, Jet-Ski?s attached

They hatin? us in matchin? furs
Gold name plates, his and hers
See at first they said it wouldn't work
But we got the whole hood buzzin' now

They said it?d never happen
But we knew it would happen back then
We stayed down through the fire, we stayed down to the wire
We came up, now the whole hood?s buzzin'

Number one gold chick hater
Number one chick, number one motivator
You ain't gotta wish it, if you want it you can get it
But we got the whole hood buzzin' now

Jump, bet you ain't never saw this one coming
The whole hood?s buzzin' now and I like it
They know that you're my girl, girl, gonna hold you down, yeah
People talk but they ain't saying nothing
Girl, we got the whole hood buzzin' now

Get your hair done every week, French tips, my treat
Only the best for you my sweet
Gold stunnas by Chanel, they match the bag
They know what's up

That ain't the ride
Five star, drinking good wine
We make ?em point and whisper every time
Now we got the whole hood buzzin' now

They said it?d never happen
But we knew it would happen back then
Down though the fire, down to the wire
We came up, now the whole hood?s buzzin'

Number one gold check hater
Number one chick, number one motivator
You ain't gotta wish it, if you want it you can get it
But we got the whole hood buzzin' now

Jump, bet you ain't never saw this one coming
The whole hood?s buzzin now and I like it
They know that you're my girl, girl, gonna hold you down, yeah
People talk but they ain't saying nothing
Girl, we got the whole hood buzzin' now

don't feel bad at all
When you hear them haters call
Baby, we deserve to ball
Just brush them off and
Keep the whole hood buzzin'

Call us what they may
There's a real turn been made
Some things never change
But we got the whole hood buzzin' now

Jump, bet you ain't never saw this one coming
The whole hood?s buzzin now and I like it
They know that you're my girl, girl, gonna hold you down, yeah
People talk but they ain't saying nothing
But we got the whole hood buzzin' now

All I ever wanted was to love you
Girl, I never meant to cause you pain
And I only have myself to blame

Now you're gone and I can't stop thinking of you
Every time I hear your name
I think of what I've done again and again

See I'm all alone tonight with just a memory
And baby you're a million miles away
I can't take another day

If I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
It just don't feel the same, no
If I ain't got you, oh

And if I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
Can't even feel the pain
No, if I ain't got you, you

You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you

I remember when we were together
I remember how you used to say
There was nothing I could do to turn you away

I know, I know that things have changed forever
When I look into your eyes
All I see now is the tears in your eyes

I'm all alone tonight with just a memory
And baby you're a million miles away
I can't take another day

If I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
It just don't feel the same, no
If I ain't got you, oh

And if I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
Can't even feel the pain
No, if I ain't got you, you

If I could I would pick up the pieces of your broken heart
And put it back together
And I would, I would hold you in my arms until the hurting stops
And stay right here forever

All I ever wanted was to love you
Girl, I never meant to cause you pain
And I only have myself to blame

If I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
It just don't feel the same, no
If I ain't got you, oh

And if I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
Can't even feel the pain
No, if I ain't got you

If I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
It just don't feel the same, no
If I ain't got you, oh

And if I ain't got you, I ain't got anything
Can't even feel the pain
No, if I ain't got you, you
