There was a rose I knew
I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing
Not the least bit insecure
Then you came with your slick game
And played with her youth
Unashamed of the way you lied
Played with the truth, hey hey
Mmm, she never knew what hit her, yeah
Steal her honey, then forget her
A rose, she wears a flower
Tryin' to forget about you
‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Now believe me when I tell you
That I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you
And sees nobody else
And now you're so tough tryin' to
Wear tight clothes and things
Tossin' and flossin'
Tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh yeah, when she faces the mirror, yeah
She's cryin', you can't hear her
Now the rose is still a rose
She wears a flower, tryin' to forget about you
‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may see you're all today
When you know it'll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ain't over
Just because your man is gone
Girl, love yourself and love to love
‘Cause without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Doo doo doo

Paid & Live - All My Time feat. Lauryn Hill
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), okay, that's right
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh, come on, uh)
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), okay, that's right
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh, come on, uh)
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), okay, that's right
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh, come on, uh)
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), okay, that's right
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), yeah, yeah, yeah (Come on, uh)
Mmm (Mmm), uh-huh (Uh-huh), okay, that's right
Hmm… mmm…yeah…
(Come on, uh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Show me why Paid & Live ain't your average click
Could it be that dude he DKNY
As I see his majesty's ebony eyes
His clear complexion got me open wide
I'm sayin', "Come on, girl, roll with the ride"
Allow me to introduce to utilize
You need a vibe, I could tell through the eyes
If you decide you wanna roll with the real money
Live, keep it goin', flowin', you know that we go
It's all for the dough and the love for my people
N'I mean, come on we could blow this scene
We the types to make the nigga wanna drop his team
We could force the A/C and let me sack this cream
Cruisin' the Garden State as we conversate
About big time livin' so we both relate
Keepin' it real, honey, if you ain't the one, I can't tell
Sincerely yours, protection, A-N-G-E-L
All my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
See, all my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
Well, could it be the dude he's caught, see as I swear
There's stares, especially smooth as Syndey Portier
Clean cut and dapper, seems he's straight and narrow
Tinglin' the bone marrow, team the almighty apparel
But I ain't that aggressive, instead I act suggestive
Bat my eye lashes right through the sunglasses
Sound perfectly with the classic under my dark glasses
I mouthin' all the words to Blue Magic (You must have put a spell on my
mind)
With all due respect till you 'pproached it
Hand off a the roach clip as I respectfully decline to smoke it
Roll get the ice, his demeanor was nice
He tried to freak it to my mental, word [Hey, yo', it was an accidental]
Yo', his talk was slick, my resume is kinda thick
[So let's blow this scene, girl, and check this flick]
And show me why Paid & Live ain't your average click
[Recognize Paid & Live 'bout to lock this s@#$]
All my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
See, all my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
Yeah, yeah, I know you got a car, but we should keep it in the lot
I got a urge to ride the train and do some walkin' in the rain
It sounds the same, but meditate it for the brain
Plus I like to get to see if you as crazy as you claim
Dope blown, like iceberg, slim and down goin's
Uncut, it's all raw, dog, hit me off
Paid & Live, baby girl, I'm sayin' this connection
Be in through your burrow, territory in section, true
I come correct in all my agenda
Trump jewels, top gear, and Willie Wear linens
No question, I'll show you affection
As I proceed to lead your direction
Well, these procedures that you agree to
I'm gonna need to know a little bit more about yourself and family
Well, who's Paid and who's Live, where you live, what you drive
Never did a homicide let our molecules collide
And time will tell if you can endure with Nell
If you tryin' to knock it down then I'm not the type of girl
My mind's a pearl, and I done been around the world
But if you righteous, I might just let you spend the night and
Tuck me in real tight and watch the fight with Tyson
Kiss me on my cheek, I got the type of s@#$ to make a nigga fight for
weeks
Never mess with geeks
Well, mister Live I've decided that I like you
And if you try to get to know me better I won't fight you
All my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
See, all my time
It could be spent wit' you
So what you gonna do
Make sure your game is true
See, all my time

Mary J. Blige - All That I Can Say (Production)
Loving you is wonderful
Something like a miracle
Rest assured, I feel the same way you do
Meeting you, it isn't hard
With you I can't let down my guard
Stay secure, that's all I'm asking of you
(Stay secure)
I wish I had words to tell

Mary J. Blige - Be With You (Remix) feat. Lauryn Hill (Vocals and Production)
[Lauryn-singing]
Hey love, hey love turn yourself around
(Turn yourself round)
Cause I got that brow
You're in love
[Lauryn-rapping]
They call me L-mahogany cause of the things that I do
Like disappearing for a week with my crew
Like making sure that all my peoples got loot
Like watching out for Babylon in the blue
They be like why do she rock so fly
On the microphone its do or die
Brothers be like oh my
You don't know what you're missing
Its Fugees and Mary
[Mary]
I can't deal with the fact
That you don't want me around
Why you wanna see me down
It's so unusual
That you don't love me no more
Why you wanna close the door
I spend all my days
And all my nights with you
Just tell me what am I gonna do
Without you
If loving you is so right
Tell me how I make it through the night
You know that I don't ever wanna leave you
[Mary]
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna be with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
(I wanna be with you)
I want to spend my life with you, oh
[Mary]
Let's take this time to think about
What was said and done
Now tell me why you had to run away from me
Now I can't sleep at night
Why we have to fight
Every day from you
I look and I see something new
Now tell me what I got to do, uh
To get this through to you
It's the little things you do for me
That make me very happy
You know that I don't wanna leave you
[Lauryn]
I love you I keep
Put your number in parenthesis
So I can know your borough
You mind if I say hello
We can make it healthy, you know
A strong ghetto love
Cause you met me at the club
Grinding to some reggae dub
That ain't where I wanna be
I need a family
(That's what I need, know what I'm saying, word)
Chastity I'll be if you're looking for a refugee
See my love anoints all your joints in the erogenous points
I make ya tipsy, read you your fortune like a gypsy (Ha)
So lift me to this plateau and don't forget the chateau
Cause you without me just ain't natural
[Mary]
You don't want me there
And it's beginning to make me so scared
(I wanna be with you)
So scared that I might lose you
All I wanna do is be with you baby
Baby, baby, baby
(I wanna be with you)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna pick up the phone
I know if you do, do ooh yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Santana - Do You Like The Way feat. Cee-Lo and Lauryn Hill
Watch the master plan, the pastures span through the streets
Flipped the beat, move the sheep, like the shepherd
It's a new day, my crew stay forever strivin'
Give thanks 'cause we alive and been through the gutter
Now we see the horizon
It's clear to me now
Used to be confused, took a lot of years to see how
Now we movin' planets, take the average mind and expand it
You take for granted like we're always gonna be disadvantaged
But soon come, it soon come, ya soon done
Ya start run, you stumble, we catch one
In the rhythm, Santana lick the guits with precision
Not accidental, intentional, conscious decision
To Zion, we're marchin' through with African Mayans
Conquerin' Babylon with the heart of a lion
Behold and watch yesterday come back around
And the walls of Jericho come a tumblin' down
[ From: www.metrolyrics.com/do-you-like-the-way-lyrics-santana.html ]
Tell me, how long has it been
Is everything, everything alright my friend
You see, time is passin'
People askin' how come none of this ain't lastin'
Money will make people deal like they don't even have to feel
But no, it ain't real, it ain't real
Oh, do you like the way that's going down?
Do you like the way that it's going down?
Ooh, do you like the way
How long, how long will we wait, to sit down and communicate?
See, everything is relative, if you want to get then give
Can't we all just build and live, can't we, can't we?
Oh, do you like the way that it's going down baby?
Going down baby, going down, wait a minute
Flipped the beat, move the sheep, like the shepherd
It's a new day, my crew stay forever strivin'
Give thanks 'cause we alive and been through the gutter
Now we see the horizon
It's clear to me now
Used to be confused, took a lot of years to see how
Now we movin' planets, take the average mind and expand it
You take for granted like we're always gonna be disadvantaged
But soon come, it soon come, ya soon done
Ya start run, you stumble, we catch one
In the rhythm, Santana lick the guits with precision
Not accidental, intentional, conscious decision
To Zion, we're marchin' through with African Mayans
Conquerin' Babylon with the heart of a lion
Behold and watch yesterday come back around
And the walls of Jericho come a tumblin' down
[ From: www.metrolyrics.com/do-you-like-the-way-lyrics-santana.html ]
Tell me, how long has it been
Is everything, everything alright my friend
You see, time is passin'
People askin' how come none of this ain't lastin'
Money will make people deal like they don't even have to feel
But no, it ain't real, it ain't real
Oh, do you like the way that's going down?
Do you like the way that it's going down?
Ooh, do you like the way
How long, how long will we wait, to sit down and communicate?
See, everything is relative, if you want to get then give
Can't we all just build and live, can't we, can't we?
Oh, do you like the way that it's going down baby?
Going down baby, going down, wait a minute

[singing] Guan-tana-mera
[Wyclef] Bout to bring it to you in stereo
[singing] Guajila voy, de na meda
Yo soy un hombre sincero
[Wyclef] That was then, this is now
Welcome to the Carnival, the arrival... c'mon!
[singing] De donde crecen las palmas
[Wyclef Jean]
Spanish Harlem!
Oahh-eee-ohh!
Boogie Down Bronx!
Oahh-eee-ohh!
Manhattan!
Oahh-eee-ohh!
Back to Staten!
Oahh-eee-ohh!

Guantanamera
Hey yo I'm standing at the bar with a, Cuban cigar
Guajila, Guantanamera
Hey, yo, I think she's eyeing me from afar
Guan-tana-mera...
Guajila Guan-tana-mera...
[Verse One: Wyclef Jean]
Yo, I wrote this in Haiti, overlooking Cuba
I asked her what's her name, she said, 'Guantanamera'
Remind me of an old latin song, my uncle used to play
On his old forty-five when he used to be alive
She went from a young girl, to a grown woman
Like a Virgin, so she sex with no average mahn
Peep the figure, move like a caterpillar
Fly like a butterfly, let your soul feel her glide
Pac Woman better yet Space Invader
If your name was Chun-Li, we'd be playin Street Fighter
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for your kiss
A dime if you tell me that you love me
[Chorus:]
Guantanamera
Hey yo, I'm standin at the bar with a, Cuban cigar
Guajila, Guantanamera
Yo, I think she's eyeing me from afar
Guan-tana-mera...
Guajila Guan-tana-mera...
[singing in Spanish, with Wyclef responses]
Soy una mujer, sincera
(I am a sincere woman)
Do you speak English?
De donde crecen las palmas
(From where the palm tree grows)
Can I buy you a drink?
Soy una mujer, sincera
(I am a sincere woman)
Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
De donde creeeeeeecen las palmas
(From where the palm tree grows)
You killin me
Y antes de morir, yo quiero
(And before I die, I want to)
..
cantar mis versos del alma
(sing the verses in my heart)
Te quiero mama, te quiero!!
Guantanamera
Aiyyo I'm standing at the bar with a, Cuban cigar
Guajila, Guantanamera
Hey yo John Forte, she's eyeing me from far
Guan-tana-mera...
Guajila Guan-tana-mera
[Verse Two: Lauryn Hill]
Yo, she was a rose in Spanish Harlem, mamacita beg your pardon
Make stakes at a faster rate then she fornicates
Pure traits of genius, Goddess of Black Venus
Crab niggaz angry cause they can't get between us
to no sele-xion, smooth complex-ion
The lexicon of Lexington, parents came from Cuba
Part Mexican, pure sweet, dimes fell to her feet
She like Movado, and shook her hips like Delgado
And broke niggaz down from the Grounds to Apollo
and then some, she took her act sent it to dim sum
And waited patiently while the businessmen come
Call late on purpose, got even politicians nervous
And made plans to infiltrate the street secret service
This gentle flower, fertility was her power
Sweet persona, Venus Flytrap primadonna
Que sera que sera she turned dinero to dinera
[Wyclef responds to singing again]

Curtis Mayfield - Here But I'm Gone feat. Lauryn Hill
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
Porched up in a rocking-chair
With my feet all bare
Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap
Live an adolescent mind
never do take the time
Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
Mama told me I was best
Argue and punch in my chest
Son now be strong, let me take you home
I'd see in her eyes so sincere
Screaming, what got me here
Standing in the world and with my mind all blown
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
I do nothing but waste all my time
Leaving the world behind
Smoking my crack just to keep me high
Around the boys I play my part rough
Keep myself tough enough
Never to cry
Don't really want to die
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
Porched up in a rocking-chair
With my feet all bare
Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap
Live an adolescent mind
never do take the time
Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept
How did I get so far gone
Where do I belong
And where in the world did I ever go wrong
If I took the time to replace

Whitney Houston - I Was Made To Love Him (Production)
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
See, I was born in Newark
Got too much to talk now
We're always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tails
Nip wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
You know some disapproved it
They even boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time and time again
You know I was made to love him
Build my world around him and
Hey, hey, hey
He's been my inspiration
Show 'nuff appreciation
For the love I gave him through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My love grew sweeter through the years
I know my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love him
Worship and adore him, yes say
Hey, hey, hey
All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
But I love my baby, love my baby, oh
My baby loves me
My baby need me
I know I ain't going nowhere
I was just a little thing
The love bug hit me
I had the fever with this passing year
If all should tumble
And the whole world crumble
By his side I'll still be standing, yeah
'Cuz I was made to love him
Maybe meant for him, say
Hey, hey, hey
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey
I love my baby

Ras Baraka - Hot Beverage In Winter feat. Lauryn Hill
Nas - If I Ruled The World feat. Lauryn Hill
Life, I wonder
Will it take me under, I don't know
Imagine smokin' weed in the streets without cops harassin'
Imagine goin' to court with no trial
Lifestyle cruisin' blue behind my waters, no welfare supporters
More conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Feelin' like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
The world's hot, my son got not evidently
It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Troopin' out of state for a plate knowledge
Of coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashin', fashion
Designer clothes, lacin' your click up with diamond vogues
Your people holdin' dough, no parole
No rubbers, go in raw, imagine law with no undercovers
Just some thoughts for the mind, I take a glimpse into time
Watch the blimp read 'The World Is Mine'
If I ruled the world, imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
In these last days an' times
The way to be, paradise like relaxin' black
Latino an' Anglo-Saxon, Armani exchange the reins
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in the iller path
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes an' Benz stretches
So many years of depression make me vision
The better livin', type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history's told, foul
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
Seein' things like I was controllin', click rollin'
Trickin' six digits on kicks an' still holdin'
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisoner set free, stress free
No work, release purple M3's an' jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities
An' reverse themes to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown
I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa
If I ruled the world, imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
In these last days an' times
An' then we'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
We'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory
Runnin' from jake, gettin' chased, hunger for papes
These are the breaks, many mistakes go down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate, we carry weight
Tryin' to get laced, flip the ace, stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
Makin' moves in Atlanta, back an' forth scrambler
'Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nigga havin' shit
If I ruled the world an' everythin' in it, sky's the limit
I push a Q-45 Infinit
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies
Strictly livin' longevity to the destiny
I thought I'd never see but reality struck
Better find out before your time's out, what the f**k?
If I ruled the world, imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today

Nas - It Wasn't You feat. Lauryn Hill
[Intro: Nas]
Uh huh, a love story, but not your ordinary love story
Not hardly, you heard
Get into this shit right here, check this shit out
You know, check it
(Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2
As we turn the corner, I count down his name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you
[Nas]
Companions, commitments, relationships
They can be so nice in days picnics, advance slow nights
You start to miss it all when you got no wife
Seeing couples, walking, holding each others hands, talking
Like everything around them don't exist
And yo they stop before crossing the street so they can kiss
That remind me, my love for this 'lil mami
A slim body from Saudi Arabia probably (uh, huh)
We met five day into her stay, a thirty day visit
Her second time in the USA
But my first time to gaze at her
and wave at her was at KNICKS game
Islamic name hard to spit game
My thug look made nervous, her Secret Service
The floor seats next to Spike Lee, I had to purchase
Later we met on Tavern on the Green and after we dined
I said "I got to have you just one time", she said
(Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2
[Nas]
Seduced her fast, surprised me, laying beside me
Rolling in my satin sheets, flexible body
Hair, black and long, Indian skin completion
Eyes, nose and lips resemble the Egyptian
It's against rules to make conversation, with anybody new
Which was strange in our situation, that admired her more
Everyday I gave her a tour
Of New York streets, the parts that remained hard-core
It was coming to the day when she had to depart
When she left I felt the butcher knife stabbing my heart
Without a number to dial, continent near by the Nile she reside at
She said she would write, so she could fly back
Private airplanes, been a year, letters never came
In the short time we were together it never rained
Just sun shine when our tongues climbed
Each others body, wish I can see you one time, 'cause now
(Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2
Uh huh, a love story, but not your ordinary love story
Not hardly, you heard
Get into this shit right here, check this shit out
You know, check it

Method Man - Lost In Masquerade feat. Lauryn Hill
[Intro: Method Man]
Ahahaha, nah, 4th Disciple
Brookly-Sha', Shao' Style
See? This is pea suit
Everything is anything to me inside my suit
All types of suit, get what I'm sayin'?
Slugs slidin' outta nose, hehe
For what nigga, on the wave of snot
Ridin' the booger, hehehe
[Method Man]
My rap guns is blazing trails, I'm hard as nail
Society ways got to rot down in hell
My mental is trapped, in the shadows of rap
Casualties cuz my reality is strapped
Criminology pays, son got the raise
The heat seeking missile, a/k/a Johnny Blaze
Ow, hurt so good, ow, take it to the hour
Meth Tical, bring it to the head, loud
Whatchu wanna do, shit? Niggas be like 'set that shit'
That make you wanna get, mad open, haha, shit
I be chokin', what's that shit, that they be smokin'
Tical, let it out
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Method Man]
Nigga, stay steady, know what
We know, what they know
Lost in a masquerade
[Lauryn Hill]
Huh, you crossed the line, now there's no coming back
M.C.'s are getting swept into my air to the lack
To go poor, I'm the article don ya
On ya ass, if you get the microphone, nigga
You better say pass that
Need no questions, and I'm telling you no lies
If you lookin' at me wrong, this goes under for your eyes
Realize you can't knock this, cuz my style's obnoxious
It's Cassius, I'm turning all ya'll patients to ashes
This thing's created, you made it here, from here to Asia
Mind of rhyme, must find your vocabulary kind of
Ordinary, my guitar shit is scary, perhaps I'm legendary
I roll a blunt like Bob Marley, and you didn't know
But Sugar Hill, it was a band, my man, know your history
Before you try to shame, or shimmy coco pop
Fronting niggas need to stop, until the T.O.P.'s
Where you find the Refugees, so know you know
And knowing is half the battle, so
[Method Man]
So, so, suck my toe, all the way down, to Mexico
When you there, wash your hair
And don't forget your shit stain underwear
Ahahaha, nah, 4th Disciple
Brookly-Sha', Shao' Style
See? This is pea suit
Everything is anything to me inside my suit
All types of suit, get what I'm sayin'?
Slugs slidin' outta nose, hehe
For what nigga, on the wave of snot
Ridin' the booger, hehehe
[Method Man]
My rap guns is blazing trails, I'm hard as nail
Society ways got to rot down in hell
My mental is trapped, in the shadows of rap
Casualties cuz my reality is strapped
Criminology pays, son got the raise
The heat seeking missile, a/k/a Johnny Blaze
Ow, hurt so good, ow, take it to the hour
Meth Tical, bring it to the head, loud
Whatchu wanna do, shit? Niggas be like 'set that shit'
That make you wanna get, mad open, haha, shit

Nothing in this world got me like you do baby

I appreciate your groove
Now I know I owe everything to you

The way you keep me
Movin
Ain't nobody doing what you're doing

You are my sunlight
You are the one mic
That sound so sweet because the beat just inspires me
Ooh

No limit to your mind
Your endless love is open
To every race and kind
Could it be your blood runs golden
Baby if this world were mine
We would be singing in the Key of Life
When you're gone I can't survive
Cause I just can't be without my

Colours of sound
Scales and beauty
Audio scenery
Electric love and
Rhythmic symmetry
Written in memory
Beautifully crafted scenery
Complex or simplicity
Sonic energy
Piercing insensitivity
Sympathetic poetry

Collective entity
Something to belong to
A source of energy
The possibilities
Wave lengths and bandwidth
Higher vibration
Energizing entire lands with
Or stand for
Lovers to walk hand in hand with
then plan for
Sanctuary chords
Harmony, melodies, even riffs can be
Disguised human essence
Sonically bottled ecstasy
Or melancholy
Agony blues angst
Exercising anxieties
Fueling entire societies
Making economies
Stimulating generating
Inspiration synonymously
Entertaining expression
Intangible invisible but undeniable
Plays the language of excitement on survival
Some call it tribal
But perspective is everything
Connected to everything
Some say collectively everything

CeCe Winans - On That Day (Production)
The world is movin' much too fast
Mother's have kids, they outlast
Young men think it's hard to pass this way
Everybody's tryin' hard
To find a world in a life that's flawed
When each one should be thanking God
All the way
I want to see you on that day
On that day, on that day
You know I want to see You on that day
On that day, on that day
We're chasing wordly vanity
Some of us living in insanity
Forgetting our humanity with no way
Break the bonds that tie your flesh
Without Him then life is death
Only He will not transgress there's no way
Open up your heart and know
Our debts were paid for long ago
And love is all we really owe
(For a way)
I want to see you on that day

Common - Retrospect For Life feat. Lauryn Hill
Yo we gotta start respectin' life more y'all
You look at your brother man you gotta see yourself
Gotta see the God within him
Brothers gettin' changed real quick over nothin'
We losin' too many of ours, gotta recreate y'all, yo check it
Knowin' you the best part of life, do I have the right to take yours
'Cause I created you irresponsibly
Subconsciously knowin' the act I was a part of
The start of somethin', I'm not ready to bring into the world
Had myself believin' I was sterile
I look into mother's stomach, wonder if you are a boy or a girl
Turnin' this woman's womb into a tomb
But she and I agree, a seed we don't need
You would've been much more than a mouth to feed
But someone, I woulda fed this information I read
To someone, my life for you I woulda had to leave
Instead I lead you to death
I'm sorry for takin' your first breath, first step, and first cry
But I wasn't prepared mentally nor financially
Havin' a child shouldn't have to bring out the man in me
Plus I wanted you to be raised within' a family
I don't wanna, go through the drama of havin' a baby's momma
Weekend visits and buyin' J's ain't gon' make me a father
For a while bearing a child is somethin' I never wanted to do
For me to live forever I can only do that through you
Nerve I got to talk about them niggaz with a gun
Must have really thought I was God to take the life of my son
I could have sacrificed goin' out
To think my homies who did it I used to joke about, from now on
I'ma use self control instead of birth control
'Cause 315 dollars ain't worth your soul
315 dollars ain't worth your soul
315 dollars ain't worth it
I, never dreamed you'd leave, in summer
You said you would be here when it rained
(Common)
Yo, why didn't you stay?
Seeing you as a present and a gift in itself
You had our child in you, I probably never feel what you felt
But you dealt with it like the strong black woman you are
Through our trials and tribulations, child's elimination
An integration of thoughts I feel about the situation
[ From: www.metrolyrics.com/retrospect-for-life-lyrics-common.html ]
Back and forth my feelings was pacin'
Happy deep down but not joyed enough to have it
But even that's a lie in less than two weeks, we was back at it
Is this unprotected love or safe to say it's lust
Bustin', more than the sweat in somebody you trust
Or is it that we don't trust each other enough
And believe, havin' this child'll make us have to stay together
Girl I want you in my life 'cause you have made it better
Thinkin' we all in love 'cause we can spend a day together
We talkin' spendin' the rest of our lives
It's too many black women that can say they mothers
But can't say that they wives
I wouldn't chose any other to mother my understanding
But I want our parenthood to come from planning
It's so much in my life that's undone
We gotta see eye to eye, about family, before we can become one
If you had decided to have it the situation I wouldn't run from
But I'm walkin', findin' myself in my God
So I can, discipline my son with my writin'
Not have a judge tellin' me how and when to raise my seed
Though his death was at our greed, with no one else to blame
I had a book of Afrikan names, case our minds changed
You say your period hasn't came and lately I've been sleepy
So quit smokin' the weed and the beadies and let's have this boy
I, never dreamed you'd leave in summer
You said you would be here when it rained
You said you would be here when it rained
Ohh I, never dreamed you'd leave in summer
Now the situation's made things change
Things change, why, didn't you stay?
Why didn't you stay?
I, never dreamed you'd leave, in summer, in summer
You said you would be here when, it rained
When it rained, it rained
Ohooh I, never dreamed, you'd leave in summer
You said you wouldn't leave
Now the situation's made things change
Things change, why didn't you stay?
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Mmm, stay, uh-uh, oh, why didn't you stay?
You look at your brother man you gotta see yourself
Gotta see the God within him

Method Man - Say feat. Lauryn Hill
"Say"
(feat. Lauryn Hill)
[Lauryn (Method Man)]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah yeah (Yo)
[Method Man]
Damn, I hate it when it rain
Ever since I came in the game
Some hated on the fame
A lot of niggas done changed
And started actin' strange
Even labels turning they backs
And started backing lames
Radio is the same, whole lotta speculatin'
These mutherfuckas defacatin' on the name
Wu-Tang, if this is where the hip-hop is
Radio lyin' then, that ain't where hip-hop live
It lives in the streets, we eat to live they livin' to eat
I'm fed up, that nigga rides in 'em, givin 'em sleep
R.I.P., make me the king of all I see
And when death call I'm good I got call ID
See it was planned in the front, now they just gon' front
Like my joints is on proactive, and they just don't bump
Then niggas gon' say I lost my skill
when in fact they all been programmed
And lost they feel, fo' real
[Chorus: Lauryn (Method Man)]
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so much things to say right now (Yeah)
They got so much things to say (Yo)
[Method Man]
Damn, another artist chokes again
They ain't cut as close as him or even broke the skin
See how niggas ain't yo friends, when there ain't no ends
Don't care who the case offend, don't underrate my pen
I got what it takes to win, while ya'll are thinking I'm trash
Loving the taste of success and this drink in my glass
Watch 'em cosign that whack shit, give it a pass till it's gone
Quicker than Red, can't get rid of them clubs
When they're wrong, call the cops, they credibility's shot
It's time to learn, what hot really is and really is not
Off brain niggas, Meth gonna let 'em know off top
Don't get smacked on dvds, trying to show off blocks
I can't stop cause my enemies plot, or cause the cops want me
Shackled and locked inside the penalty box
And while they waitin' for my shit to flop
They gettin' pimped like hoes
Sellin' they ass just to get my spot, come on man
[Repeat Chorus]
[Method Man]
Ask Miss Hill, half these critics ain't got half this skill
Often so hungry that they have to steal
If I didn't have my deal, and didn't have this mass appeal
Then I'm back up in that trap, swingin' crack it's real
And that ain't worth the time, so search and find a new nerve
And here's three words: stop working mine
It take a lot more to hurt my pride
Jerk my vibe more than media lies, cry when dirt dog die nigga
The last album wasn't feeling my style
This time my foot up in they ass but they feelin' me now
Cause Tical, he put his heart in every track he do
But somehow yall find someway to give a whack review
It ain't all good, they writin' that I'm Hollywood
Tryin' to tell you my shit ain't ghetto and they hardly hood
Come on man, until you dudes can write some rhymes
Keep that in mind when you find yourself reciting mines
[Repeat Chorus]
(feat. Lauryn Hill)
[Lauryn (Method Man)]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah yeah (Yo)

And that ain't worth the time, so search and find a new nerve
And here's three words: stop working mine
It take a lot more to hurt my pride
Jerk my vibe more than media lies, cry when dirt dog die nigga
The last album wasn't feeling my style
This time my foot up in they ass but they feelin' me now
Cause Tical, he put his heart in every track he do
But somehow yall find someway to give a whack review
It ain't all good, they writin' that I'm Hollywood
Tryin' to tell you my shit ain't ghetto and they hardly hood
Come on man, until you dudes can write some rhymes
Keep that in mind when you find yourself reciting mines
[Repeat Chorus]
John Legend - So High (Cloud 9 Remix) feat. Lauryn Hill
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby baby we can get so high
So high yeah, so high yeah
You're so conscious and self-aware
I'm next to you I hold your back
And you express pure ecstasy
It's more than just the sex to me
Cause mentally, you take me there
Well I pretended to be unaffected
You intended to be respected
I commend your boldness
You didn't fear being rejected
So you approached me, my lovin' remained intimidated
Glad you did cause once you came
You got much more than anticipated
And it's true, I've got the mind of a genius
And every time we kiss we feel
The magnetic fields react between us
I think it's something to witness your vulnerability
The definition of a real man
He can acknowledge how he feels for me
And I'm fascinated wit' your manhood exploration
Your transparent language how you articulate the situation
And I can see it in your stare, in your air
I love the texture of you hair
Statuesque black and beautiful like classical architecture
Yeah
Baby since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
And you proved my fantasies of love could really be
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the cloud
We're floating away
Ooh this feels so crazy
How this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high, so high, so high
It feels like we could kiss the sky
Baby baby we get so high
Baby we're so high, yes
Baby we're so high yeah
Now maybe later we can go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
And we can't get much closer to God then where we are
So we'll go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds
We're floating away
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high, so high, so high
Feels like this love could be
All that it's supposed to be
Feels just like ecstasy
Each time you're holding me
All that we've fantasized
We've come to realize
Baby baby baby we can touch the sky
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby baby we get so high
We were so high yes
Baby we're so high yes
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby baby we get so high
Baby we're so high
Baby we're so high
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds
We're floating away
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high, so high, so high
Said it feels real good
Said it feels real good
Baby baby
Baby baby, yeah
This is how love's supposed to be
Let's go to the moon baby
This is how love's supposed to be
Let's go
Baby baby we can get so high

Young Zee - Stay Gold feat. Lauryn Hill and Yah Yah
(Lauryn Hill) (Chorus)
Zee, got down with Lauryn, loooong agooooo
(Yeah motherfuckers)
Dose status is where we will beeeee
(Yeah, yeah), that's where you'll find me
Sippin' Martini, my pockets swole
Stay Gold
(Young Zee)
I'll go gold if I just stay true to Newark
Get high and dust clicks like embalming fluid
My shit is loud when I drop my sound
All the angles in the clouds like "turn that shit down"
(Lauryn Hill)
These dimensions and extensions will secure my future pension
When I mention corporate lynchin's like the cowboys did to indians
The intentions of the Devil is to cause me hypertension
So stay gold like Stevie Wonder don't blunder like OJ Simpson
(Young Zee)
Yeah, Zee need to battle with the older guys
'Cause all you little niggas get pulverized
Yeah, I get ill on funky beats like Jalil
Yo posse gonna wind up in Beth Israel
Bring yo' fleet
You'll get stabbed and beat
And stomped out in the streets with my football cleats
I make a snake talk, biaaat** say who is it
When I climb up her walls just like number 4 lizard
What is this trash I hear?
Is it Static, like Jeru and Premiere?
Your MC style is way too old
I unfold pure funk as long as I stay gold
(Chorus)
(Young Zee)
I be doing 95s in horizons
Flyin, lighting up thai while I'm driving
Your company's like who the f**k is Zee
Cause I be So So Def like Jermaine Dupree
(Yah, Yah)
It's pure No Brains funks, so get your cams start recording
And +Watch how we do this+ like Montel Jordan (Watch how we dooo thiisssss)
I use freestyles when I be high on sabbticals
On old school rap, I keep trapped in time capsules
Outz motherfuckers, serving niggas like butlers
Rolling dutches, going sticking in the Cutlass
My shit rocks word to Scott La Rock
I smoke opts and drink scotch and send my style through a paradox
I'm Outz, who ya?
NBC outsidaz, this raps raw, plus there's +Moore+ then Mary Tyler
(Young Zee)
And all the sell out, fake crews that tote pistols
I can diss you and I'm only bugging like whistle
You sold your soul for a tootsie roll
Now you swole cause your LP didn't even go gold
I don't let it get next to me
I just hang out with my friend like Extra P
(Yeah Roots, DU, Ali ...)
(Chorus)
Zee, got down with Lauryn, loooong agooooo
(Yeah motherfuckers)
Dose status is where we will beeeee
(Yeah, yeah), that's where you'll find me
Sippin' Martini, my pockets swole
Stay Gold
(Young Zee)
I'll go gold if I just stay true to Newark
Get high and dust clicks like embalming fluid
My shit is loud when I drop my sound
All the angles in the clouds like "turn that shit down"

Bob Marley - Turn Your Lights Down Low feat. Lauryn Hill
Turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtain
Oh let the moon come shining in Into our life again
Saying ooh, it's been a long, long time
(Long, long time)
I got this message for you girl
But it seems I was never on time
Did I wanna get through to you girl?
On time, on time (word)
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
(Uh, uh, right, uh)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Yeah I want to give you some good, good loving (uh)
Turn your lights down low Never ever try to resist, oh no
Let your love come shining in
Into our lives again
And ooh, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
And I want you to know right now
(Know right now)
Ooh I love you
(Uh-uh, yeah, uh)
And I want you to know right now (uh)
That I, that I
I wanna give you some love (uh, yeah)
I wanna give you some good, good loving
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I wanna give you some good, good loving
Loving you is a like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
And every chorus was written for us to recite
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
It's potion like this ocean that might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard
And when I play them, every chord is a poem
Telling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress
If you asking then I'm telling you it's yes
Stand in love, take my hand in love, God bless
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I wanna give you some good, good loving
Good, good, good loving
(I wanna give you some good loving)
And pull your window curtain
Oh let the moon come shining in Into our life again
Saying ooh, it's been a long, long time
(Long, long time)
I got this message for you girl
But it seems I was never on time
Did I wanna get through to you girl?
On time, on time (word)
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
(Uh, uh, right, uh)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Yeah I want to give you some good, good loving (uh)
Turn your lights down low Never ever try to resist, oh no
Let your love come shining in
Into our lives again
And ooh, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
And I want you to know right now
(Know right now)
Ooh I love you
(Uh-uh, yeah, uh)
And I want you to know right now (uh)
That I, that I
I wanna give you some love (uh, yeah)

Youssou N'Dour - Summer Madness feat. Lauryn Hill
Sway & King Tech - Wake Up Show Anthem feat. Lauryn Hill, Nas, Pharoahe Monch, Prince Poetry, Ras Kass, Foxy Brown and Saafir
[Chorus X2: Lauryn Hill]
Oh-oh-oh I'm coolin' with my {niggaz} on the Wake Up Show-oh-oh
We kick a little something for the radio-oh-oh
[Nas]
Check it, bust it
Tune it up it's the corrupt novelist, Nas
Involved in this liveness radio waves
Slaves thrive inside of this
Wake Up Show flow, hip-hop's a long clock, the bomb spot
Mellow with ganja, that makes my eyes turn yellow
C reclimed on my leather sofa
However close to Na- be I'm Joe Quicks
King Tech I could just see 'em on the one and two son
My blunted crew pour the rum
92.3, number one in the slum
Representin' DJ's
Sway's the host, see police the most
What a collaboration see I'm comatose
No pork just knowledge and I'm born once more
It's the beat that blesses the street deep in the 9-4
[Pharoahe Monch]
Hip-hop's last prophet henceforth in existence
The 92.3 megahertz will exert radio waves
The slaves for a phenomenal distance
Electrons appear to slice through jeeps that you can hear some
Slum that it will chunk consider it will numb your eardrum
Kid, you sleepin' like a Latter Day Saint
With Sway & King Tech gon' wake you up on a Saturday
9 to 12 verbal junkies overdose
And Joe Quicks will get you fixed to the mix
And then I'm ghost win
[Prince Poetry]
In your sleep I slap you with a lethal doses of medicine
So Wake Up with Organizin' the bretherin
King Tech, Joe Quiks better than your last fix
Severing wackness with Sway the host dumps a fat mix
Baby doll is frontin' so Saturday night's open
Hoppin' on the one on one, times scope
And 92.3 degree is chokin' on chocolate
And from thou smokin' Prince Po'
Blows up from LA to Lobokin and I'm out
[Ras Kass]
Yo it's the Wake Up Show
My genetic make up take up
One hundred and thirty pounds of beef
but my lyrics shake up, like January 17th
Cause all the 16th MC's fossils
Protect ya neck and wear a bulletproof vest on ya tonsils
Amateurs bandage your cornea
Cause you don't wanna see California
Get C-arson and spittin arsenic
With Sway Tech and Joe Quicks on the mix
Spinal meningitis ain't as stiff as the riff
of Ras Kass, styles last like Jason crackers with whips
Come equipped you're losin' your paraphernalia
I'm a hip hop apostle
Sing in the gospel like Mehailja, Jackson
It's saturday nine until the break of dawn
Put cocaine on my tongue
You got crack now rock on *echo*
[Chorus]
[Chino XL]
Saturday night get live set it off
Right swing with my peeps
King Tech yo pass the mic and turn her up
Yeahyeahyeah it's peen kablow red sky it's
Nine o clock, time for the Wake Up Show
To the breaker you think I'ma say dawn
But I say, day, cause it rhymes with Sway
My word is bond I'm on the scene
Plottin out the mainstream doin
Them right, with Joe Quicks on the mix
Late in the night so tune in
Cause the crew don't sleep
Boomin in ya Jeep on 92.3
[Foxy Brown]
It's 9 o'clock PM, 92.3 the Beat begins
To rock hip-hop non-stop, you know who got the props
In L.A. on Saturdays, Tech and Sway no doubt
[??]
Set your clocks for the unorthodox hip-hop that drops
Nine to midnight King Tech and Sway yo those kids is tight
In the mix with Joe Quicks the verbs spit verses
With the purpose of droppin curses like a triple six
Fat snares and dirty kicks to get ya open
From Watts to Oakland it's that raw {shit} that start provokin
Smokin, word's precise like a laser, cross roads in the Wake Up Show
We'll get your party shakin like a pager on silent mode, yeahha
Nine to twelve Saturday night fool, peep the episode
[Saafir]
Wake Up, Show, and you can tell
I'm not spittin it in no muffled style
No silent screams just weddings, rings
To swings and Sway Techs King, Tech-
-nique and I'm building in a little agility from Joe Quicks
Hey Jay-Z in the eyes
It's seen only on the bottom of water risin
We're takin groups
Put it on 92.3 while your beatin boops, oops
I mean coops bumpin in to mission on the twine
Swoop saturday between nine and twelve I'm delvin
We're well tuned in to the pattern of the year
Here on 92.3 times me
Bo junks young ricks are bolders
That are only soldiers are connected to Wake Up Show
Ya right.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh I'm coolin' with my {niggaz} on the Wake Up Show-oh-oh
