I was slippin' into darkness, when they took my friend away
I was slippin' into darkness, when they took my friend away
You know, he loved to drink his whiskey, while laughing at the moon

First verse begins on a Tuesday
A day I won't forget that was the day we met, west fourth and sixth
You said
Can I get to know your inner child but after a little while I found uh, that was as deep as you could get
Second verse begins on a Thursday the second of January, that's when I really started to worry
You came in late that evening,
Smelling of cheap perfume and weed
Your ex's brand I do believe
Guess it's delusion that you need
If you loved yourself more, you would've been with me
You wouldn't be trying to run from us, it's such a shame
Cause loved you more, even more than you loved yourself
And I wanted more, wanted more for the two of us
And I loved you more, even more than you loved yourself
And I wanted more, yes I wanted more
Third verse begins on a Sunday,
I told you ish' or get off the pot you are your own worst stumbling block, your psychoanalystI am not
l only hope that one day, you'll dust off that corner shelf where you hide truth from yourself where love's the prisoner..you're the cell

Childs Gotta Gun
04:23
|

Eight twenty five, reluctantly he goes to school
Now he's a good kid, but today he won't play the fool
Tried to fit in, the last time he tried to be cool
Whispered words, no one heard but scuffling, cussing then now the news
Lost little sheep come back home, Reverend Bo Peep is on the phone
The newscast live at one, the child's gotta gun
Little bro' tripped, sticks and stones, hurt less than the words cut to the bone
The newscast live at one, the child's gotta gun
Eleven o five, showdown takes place by the gym
No one's got his back, except for his brother Rakim
It's seven 'gainst two, fourteen fists a brick and a knive
The two run where behind the stairs, homie and baby bro' had hid a tool
Quarter to twelve, the lunch room is stunned by a blast
Policemen rush in with guns drawn and no questions asked
Little bro's in the corner standing in shock, dazed and confused
then cold as ice, they don't think twice
they shake him down shove him 'round same old news

Winter In My Heart

Oh sweet love it's true, think about you now and then, morning night
And noon, and over and over again of how you kept me warm thru the
Winter storm but baby, the day you left I knew, til ya til ya come back to me
Feels like winter, it'll be winter, winter in my heart,
til ya til yaw come back to me
Feels like winter, winter in my heart
til ya til ya come back to me
Feels like winter, winter in my heart.
June, July, it came, thru the bitter cold you know,
sunshine felt like rain without you to hold
no one understood, I guess they never could
but baby the day you left I knew
'til yaw til yaw comes back to me
I thought about 'cha, thought about cha baby, past the point of missing
It's more than just driving me crazy,
I need your kissing
The only thing that keeps me warm
Keeps me holding on but baby, the day you left
I knew Ah ah when ya when ya come back to me The Sun will come shining thru your eyes baby Ah ah when ya when ya come back to me Oh you're the joy that keeps me alive.

Everyone within my yoice listen up don't hesitate
We have got to make the choice to love, it's getting way to late
First choose to love yourself, let the rest come naturally
Cause when you truly love yourself, you'll realize we're one you see
Oh oh oh oh...can't you see?
Hear me calling out to you
Yes we need more willing fools
Cause I can't help being confused by all the suffering I see around me
I'm feeling kinda dizzy
What have we to fear, we see the same thing year to year
The moon will rise, the sun wil set, what you give you get
Be free, like a flower blossoming
Be, all your power lies within
Do I give my love in vain?
Why are pure hearts in such pain?
Do I give my love too freelyy?
And when I give, willing give too easy?
I'm dizzy, dizzy I'm dizzy, feeling kinda dizzy
Makes me so dizzy, so dizzy
Somebody tell me what's goin' on round here
What's the meaning of life, what's it all about
Hey tell me, ooh I'm so dizzy why it makes me so so SO
Who am, what am , why am I
What am I supposed to do?
What am I doing here?
Yeah just bare with me y'all now.

Move Me
04:21
|

Now let's go back to the conversation that we had about a year ago today
It's a dangerous thing to give someone, expectations
On empty promises that you make, so I'm saying,
Move me, move me, show me damn what a man can do
Move me, move me, mend this heart that's been broke in two
Move me move me, baby stand like you understand what you're here to do
What you're here to do
No I couldn't get mad if I believed you were tryin Ain't no crime in being weak, weak, you're weak
But insincerity from a two-faced man
On this injustice I gotta do more than speak
EXCUses, well you meant to, but you couldn't cause,
Your baby momma's rent due, your stomach hurts ah
The wind blew your homework away,
it's cold outside,
you wanted to stay u
what, what, mothafucka what, what, mothafucka goddamn wnat what, what, mothafuckawhat, what, what

They're Cool
04:30

We were so inseparable who'd 've guessed?
He was Porgy, I was Bess.
We were teenage dreamers with grown up goals,
With his caramel coated voice he'd feed our souls,
But that night his voice wasn't heard as he bled on the curb, and (snap) he's gone
On so long, he's gone, go on, hold on
Cry a while, try to smile, whatever you do
Just know he's cool
My daddy told him take care of me.
He did his best though l'm kinda crazy.
He'd play the music, and I would sing and he could play
He could really really play anything, and he had
No fear of danger he gave his life up for a stranger and (snap) he's gone On so long, he's gone, go on, hold on
Cry a while, try to smile, live your life
Cause he's alright
We might not understand
but the man has a plan
For whatever it's worth all the pains' here on earth

In A Zone
04:50
|

Tender as a baby lamb,
I surrender everything
l am
You inspire me to keep on flowing on
like a river, I'm in a zone
I'm in a zone you make me high,
Im in a zone I wonder why, my
Feelings won't just won't subside
Im, in a zone,
I'm so alive
The sun shining down on me, sent me a blessing in you
I feel you constantly
No one's ever given me love so sweet and unconditional like Diana and Billy Dee
We're zonin', closer 'n closer growin (Zonin),
people say we're glowin (Zonin)
When I speak you've read my mind before (Zonin),
the puzzle comes together (Zonin)
the bond is strong as leather
Might as well be tight as hell is burnin' forever

Holding Out
04:21
|
|||
See that little girl hangin' by the window
Lonely, incomplete, that's how it feels to love frivolously
I take a walk around the way I see his glance, under different circumstance
I might say hey
But this time, I'm goin' bout my way
Patiently l'm still holding out until
Won't waste time on the wrong ones
There's a right one for everyone, for real
It's gonna be sweet and so deep forever we infinitely
That's what I'm about holding out, holding out for my baby
Living here on my own gets hard being alone
But an easy score or revolving door, that's not what I want thought about hanging with you for a while
But you got so many girls that's just not my style
So gonna and be free, that's just not me it's not me, hey

Molasses Rain
04:25
|
|||
If I acted on the way I been feelin' would the silver turn to gold?
Would a harvest from my heart find it's season for my karma sutra soul?
Does the true light of love come in flashes?
Make it come down like molasses rain
I'm not jumping in a wave that just passes
Why can't love be like molasses rain? yeah ooh ooh
Isn't jumping off a bridge free falling, does it have to be a blur?
Busy trippin' trippin' missin' what I'm missin' the epiphany occurs
Take the slow train to my destination, watch the scenery along the way
Every sign you need is at each local station, take your time when you touch me
There's a reason why we keep chasing morning, trying to mend our hearts in vain
That we'd ever catch the moral to the story,
I think that love is chasing pain

Conversation With 'G
04:20
|
|||
And here again I find myself wondering if I could see your face
Or feel your arms right now
Ya see I know you're there, I'm well aware yes
I know you care but I, I need to hear your voice
wanna have a conversation with ya "G'
I wanna hear you talk back to me
I wanna have a conversation with ya G
I wanna hear you talk back to me
We don't even know your name
Is it Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Jehovah or Christ?
is it true that they're all the same, nobody's wrong, nobody's right?
And if there's nothing new underneath the sun after all this time
Then why, why can't we live as one??
Cause you are my All and All Thru winter spring summer and fall
You always send me an answer whenever I call when I needed a friend
You said just open up your heart and (call me)
Never to late to start,(callme)
I never want to be apart from You (call me)
I need to call on You, come talk to me

Act Of Beauty
04:34
|

One love one light, one touch all night
And if I never took the time to say, I'm enraptured by you
This bliss each time we kiss I'ma dove and you're the cage, I've been captured by you
All inhibitions out the door, every position wall and floor
Give me your all and give me more l'm all yours
We can show the world what true love could be
Slave to love but together we're free
Our days indescribably sweet
All night with you
An act of beauty
Come on inside boy, I wanna ride like a rocket straight to Venus, this love between us ooh I feel it grow, ooh I feel the flow Baby bath me in your love, it's so delicious

Forgiving Light
06:01
|
|||
I wonder what, (what) do I harbor inside
Is there anger, fear, does the fear become pride?
While I'm looking you over, looked over you, the real prize
Like a cloud full of rain, will it start to cry?
Are ya l hurt and stained?
There was a stone in my eye I was missing, now there's nothing, nothing left but pure sky
Out of darkness out of loneliness l awaken and take in what's obvious shining brightly with forgiving Light
Was there love, was there love in my sight
Could two people share, or was I blind?
And I pray now, let me blinded, blinded by light
Lift the fog take the haze, reveal my imagination faze
Restore my determination yeah, to see clearly your face
And another year rushes by
Gotta be near to the end of time (as we know it)
Never more assure of what you are to m
You were always who I never thought you could be
Oh what a surprise what a surprise
And l'm here for ya, give your light
