We Need A Resolution

Did you sleep on the wrong side? .
I'm catching a bad vibe .
And it's contagious, What's the latest? .
Speak your heart, Don't bite your tongue .
Don't get it twisted, Don't misuse it .
What's your problem? .
Lets resolve .
We can solve, What's the causes? .
It's official, You got issues .
I got issues, but I know I miss you .

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Will we remain? .
You need a resolution, I need a resolution, .
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion. .

I want to know: Where were you last night? .
I fell asleep on the couch, I thought we were going out .
I want to know: Were your fingers broke? .
If you had let me know, I wouldn't have put on my clothes .
I want to know: Where'd you go instead? .
Cause it was 4 in the morning, When you crept back in the bed .
I want to know: What was in your head? .
Or what was in my head? Am I supposed to change? .

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? And will we remain? .
You need a resolution, I need a resolution, .
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion. .

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? and who should be blamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed? .
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? .
Who should be hurt? Will we remain? .
You need a resolution, I need a resolution, .
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion. .

Baby let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .
You'll let me know, You'll let me know (I will) .

Girl holla!! .
You give me bits and pieces .
You tryna blame me when I don't even know the reason .
I think it's just the season, Maybe the month, Maybe the building .
Now tell me what's the reason? Stupid yo? Looks are deceiving .
So, cut the crying, Cut the coughing, Cut the weazing, Girl .
Quit the blaming, Cut the naming, Cut the sleeping, Girl .
I think you need some prayer, Better call the deacon, Girl .
So, get your act right or else we won't be speaking, Girl .
So, what's it gonna be? Fikifiki... Me and you? .
Or is it gonna be who blames who? .
I'm tired of these things, I'm tired of these scars .
I think I'm gonna get me a drink, I'll call you tomorrow.

Loose Rap

I'm sick and tired of the loose rap .

I know you can come better .
Can come better than that .
So you can kill all that loose rap .
hehehe. . . babygirl .

How many times I tell you don't come to me? .
You bring me all of that jealousy .
Cause you got envy (Don't hate me baby) .
Talk smack behind my back .
And then when you see me .
You try to come up and talk to me (Don't talk to me) .
I'm not saying nothing, nothing .

I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
Don't Hit Me With All That Loose Rap .
You Can Keep That .
I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
I'm Sick And Tired Of The Loose Rap .
You Can Save That .

So many times you guys would come step to me .
I guess you call yourself booking me .
Now do I look easy? (Well, It Ain't) .
Well, it never hurts to try .
I just might let you call me .
I hope you don't plan on buggin' me .
That would be ugly .

I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
Don't Hit Me With All That Loose .
Rap .
You Can Keep That .
I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
I'm Sick And Tired Of The Loose Rap .
You Can Save That .

I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
So You Can Kill All The Loose Rap .
You Can Quit That .
I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
So You Can Stop All Your Loose Rap, Your Loose Rap .

So many times I hear trying to knock my crew .
Well, we've got something for all the fools .
It ain't just rhythm and blues .
If you just quit trying to compete (Yeah) .
No telling what you could be .
Might even be doper than me, I doubt it .

I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
Don't Hit Me With All That Loose Rap .
You Can Keep That .
I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
I'm Sick And Tired Of The Loose Rap .
You Can Save That .

I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
Don't Hit Me With All That Loose Rap .
You Can Keep That .
I Know You Can Come Better .
Can Come Better Than That .
I'm Sick And Tired Of The Loose Rap .
You Can Save That.

Never No More

I gave it all to you .
With no questions asked .
I wanted a future .
Who cares about the past? .
That first argument .
You up and left .
I've seen a change in you .
Words I won't accept .
I thought I lost you .
When you twist back my arm .
Cause the man I thought I knew .
Wouldn't do me no harm .
And that ran through my mind, Over again .
I promised myself you wouldn't put your hands on me again .
Never no more .

I didn't sleep that night .
I held my pillow tight .
Now trust me when I say .
You have been told .
I'm telling you never to touch me no more .
Never no more .

I should've left you .
When you called me out my name .
I stooped to your level .
Replied you the same .
No here we are again .
You at my throat .
Now I see the same old change .
That I did before .
I walk away from you .
At the drop of a dime .
So often this treatment .
Is way out of line .
And that ran through my mind, Over and over again .
Promised myself you won't put your hand on me again .
Never no more .

You know I rather give you your space .
Cause I just don't know .
Where to run, What to say .
Stay out your way, Or get in your face .
I just know you better not touch me again .
Or i'll walk away .
That is one game I refuse to play .

I didn't sleep that night .
I held my pillow tight .
Now trust me when I say .
You have been told .
I'm telling you never to touch me no more .
Never no more.

I care 4 you .
Hey my baby - why you lookin so down .

Read Between the Lines

late afternoon, the sun's going down .
i ca-ca-call on your cell (why's he in such a hurry) .
leaving the room, he's mumbling, too .
asking for his shoes, (just leaving outt he blue) .
no explanation, no actual location .
just watching him pacing (wonder who he's stressing) .
little conversation, leavin' no debation, he left the door swingin' .

you better open your mi-in-ind .
to read between the lines .
you gotta read between the lines-ines .
you gotta read between the li-ines .
you gotta read between the lines .

9 in the morning, up, up, up way before breakfast .
homeboy gettin restless .
(the room is full of questions) .
little replyin, whole lot of denyin .
you're steady collidin .
(so why do he keep on trying) .
i s-search for the median, now he's a comedian .
that's all the more reason .
(he's changing like the seasons) .
are you still pleasing, well soon you'll be leaving .
which one will be grieving? .

you better open your mind .
to gotta read between the lines .
you gotta read between the lines-ines .
you gotta read between the li-ines .
you gotta read between the lines .

your replies are getting old .
it's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines .
lies are gettin told .
look in his eyes, yougotta read between the lines .
(repeat) .

hope you don't think you can throw the line over me .
'cause I, I know what's going on .
i hope you ain't making plans on running me .
cause that, that ain't what i'm on .
hope you don't think you can throw the line over me .
'cause you'll look up, and i'll be gone .
i hope you ain.
't making plans on running me .
'cause i read between the lines .

who got you thinkin' you ishh ain't been stinkin'? .
my temperatures peakin' .
(why are you barely speakin) .
i'm bustin' his bubble, and he know he in trouble .
he's talkin' in doubles .
(i'm listening but hardly believing) .
changing the story, or trying to ignore me .
still reaching out for me .
(but still i'm hardly reaching) .
give me a reason to put you back on line .
you've wasted enough time .

i had to open my mind .
to read between the lines-ines .
you gotta read between the li-ines .
you gotta read between the lines-ines .
you gotta read between the li-ines .
you gotta read between the lines-ines .
you gotta read between the li-ines .
you gotta read between the lines .

your replies are gettin' old .
it's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines .
lies are gettin' told .
look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines .
(repeat 3 x).

U Got Nerve

Gave you chances on top of chances .
Opportunities taken for granted .
My reality is all your exshalities .
Cause insanity-why you askin me? .
Took my kindness for a sign of weakness .
My own blindness cause my sadness .
No longer am a slave over your madness .
I am glad it's finally over .
8.
Who do you think you are now? .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy .
Who do you think you are now? .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy .

See I'm tired of all the games .
That you seem to like to play .
See what you can do for me .
Is forget you knew my name .
See your qualities are less than pleasing .
I got more than 1 reason for leaving .
It's time to close shop, open new chapters .
See new beginnings is what I'm after .
Get your skeletons up out my closet .
Don't make me lose it, I just might lose it .

Who do you think you are now? (Yeah) .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Can't believe) .
Who do you think you are now? (Yeah yeah) .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (oh yeah babe) .

Who do you think you are now? (Who do you think you are) .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah yeah) .
Who do you think you are now? .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy .

See I'm tired of all the games .
That you seem to like to play .
See what you need to do is forget you knew my name .
I'm a play ya till you've left .
Cause you talkin' me to death .
See I ain't even sad that I'm here all by myself .

Chorus: Who do you think you are now? .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah) .
Who do you think you are now? .
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah) .

(repeat chorus) .

Yeah yeah .
You've got the nerve boy .
Yeah yeah .
You've got the nerve boy .
.....fade out......

I Refuse

This is where i've got to draw the line .
Cause I refuse to let you think you can play with my mind .
Always seems that you think that i'm blind .
Causes there always certain times when you're hard to find .
Your on the go, i'm on the go, were on the go .
I can't catch you no more, can't see you no more .
And it no longer can be ignored .
Cause at once upon a time it was you I adored .
You disappeared and left me here, out in the cold .
And the absence of you is hurting my soul .
Didn't know there was an end of the road .
It was so easy for you just to let it all go .

And I refuse, .
I refuse to have one more sleepless night .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye .
I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to try .
I felt like I would die, or I could break down and cry .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to let you walk back through that door .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to ignore .
The fact I fell to the floor, The day you walked out my door .

And I refuse .
No way baby I can't take it no more .
And I refuse .
No way baby I can't take it no more .
And I refuse .
No way, but I refuse .
To take it anymore .

Remember when I told you I could feel the change .
You don't touch me the same, Don't hold me the same .
No, I don't want you to take all the blame .
Cause I know I had those moments when I.
caused the pain .
This back and forth just like a war with you and me .
See we both disagree, have we ever agreed? .
This is nothing like I thought it would be .
Was it all just a dream? Was it ever in my reach? .

And I refuse, .
I refuse to have one more sleepless night .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye .
I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to try .
I felt like I would die, or I could break down and cry .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to let you walk back through that door .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to ignore .
The fact I fell to the floor, The day you walked out my door .

It was your way .
Or it was no way .
And I couldn't live that way .
It was our call .
Then it was your call .
Cause I gave you my all and all .

And I refuse, .
I refuse to have one more sleepless night .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye .
I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to try .
I felt like I would die, or I could break down and cry .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to let you walk back through that door .
I refuse, .
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore .
And I refuse, .
I refuse to continue to ignore .
The fact I fell to the floor, The day you walked out my door .

No way I can't take it baby .
No way I can't take it baby .
No way, but I refuse .
To take it anymore .

No way I can't take it baby .
No way I can't take it baby .
No way, but I refuse .
To take it anymore .

I refuse (I refuse) .
I refuse (I refuse) .
And I refuse (Ooooh) .

And I refuse (I refuse) .
I refuse (Said I refuse) .
And I refuse .
Said I refuse to take it anymore.

It's Whatever

Mmm, it's whatever, whatever .
yeah, ooh, whatever .

Just like the birds .
That whistle in the trees .
And in the leaves, so happily .
Well your my tree .
And through the storms, you've .
Stood strong for me, .
kept me warm as can be .
Like a candy to an apple .
Oh, we go together .
Your so sweet on me .
I can say that I do believe .
This is destiny, it keeps calling me .

Now it's me and you .
You and me .
And it's whatever .
Whatever you want it to be .
I'm telling you if it's up to me .
Whatever is whatever .
It's whatever with you and me .

Just like a breeze in the .
Middle of a summer's eve .
When you come through, .
You comfort me .
If I'm a drink you're my lemon squeeze .
Oh, you've got flavor boy .
You go good with me .
So boy don't play or tease me .
Ooh, get me together .
You got what I need .
Now it's getting late .
It's after three .
So quit your stallin' .
My body's callin' .

Now it's me and you .
You and Me .
And it's whatever .
Whatever you want it to be .
I'm telling you if it's up to me .
Whatever is whatever .
As long as it's you and me .
(Whatever is whatever) .

Whatever, it's whatever .
It's your world .
I put that on everything .
It's your world (your world) .
Your world (yeah) .

Oh, now its me and you .
You and me .
And it's whatever you want it to be .
I'm telling you if it's up to me .

I Can Be

Ohhhh no... ohh, oh... mmmm .
Oh... ohhhh... .

Maybe I'm just wrong for feelin the way I do .
Thoughts indecent, want to put those down to you .
I know you have a girl, I don't want to tie .
When you're free one night just make those hours mine .

I can be another woman in your life .
I can be the other reason you're out at night .
I can be all the things you thought she might .
I can be on the side .
That would alright, alright, alright .

Love just ain't my thang, but half of you might be .
Enough for two or more, no her to me and me .
Fine like expensive wine, drunk off one glass of you .
I think that might be too much, so weekends for me are cool .

I can be another woman in your life .
I can be the other reason you're out at night .
I can be all the things you thought she might .
I can be on the side .
That would alright, alright, alright .

I can be another woman in your life .

Those Were the Days

We ain't lovers no more .
We don't laugh no more .
We don't play no more .
We don't make-up no more .
We don't kiss no more .
We don't hug no more .
You don't please me no more .
You don't touch no more .
Give me chills no more .
We don't go out no more .
We don't kick it no more .
We don't dance no more .

I remember .
Walking through the park .
Just shooting the breeze .
Kissing in the shade .
Those were the days .
Lounging in the den .
Breakfast In the bed .
You let me have my way .
Those were the days .

If you don't want me no more .
Don't come round no more .
Just don't call no more .
Don't come knockin' up at my door .
After ten or so .
What you knockin' for? .
We don't kick it no more .
You ain't cute no more .
You ain't fly no more .
You ain't got it like that no more .
See in your clothes you don't .

I still remember .
Walking through the park .
Just shooting the breeze .
Kissing in the shade .
Those were the days .
Lounging in the den .
Breakfast In the bed .
You let me have my way .
Those were the days .

Those were the days .
Those were the days .
I said those were the days .
I said those were the days .
Those were the days .
Those were the days .
What's up with this baby? .
You done changed on me (You done changed) .
This ain't the way it used to be, Baby .

You Don't know me no more .
You can't lie no more .
Ain't gon' try no more .
Won't have to say goodbye no more .
You gotta hit the road .
Hate to see you go .
I Ain't the one to mess with no flow .
Don't take pictures no more .
Don't hold hands no more .
This is the end of the road .

But I still remember .
Walking through the park .
Just shooting the breeze .
Kissing in the shade .
Those were the days .
Lounging in the den .
Breakfast In the bed .
You let me have my way .
Those were the days.

I Gotcha' Back

Hmmm, whoa, whoa, yeah .
(I gotcha back) .
Oh hey .
(I gotcha back) .

I bet women always wonder how I keep my man .
They've been trying for so long .
And still don't understand .
It's not the things I say it's the way I say it .
That keeps them locked down, no where to go .
And on top of that, I let 'em know .

Chorus: .
I'm down for whatever, no matter how you act .
You'll never have to worry about a thing .
I gotcha' back (I got your back) .
When no one else is there, with me you can chill .
Because it feels real good .
When you know somebody gots your back .
(I gotcha back) .

I am the type when I find a man I like .
It's on and popping, ain't no stopping .
The things I do for you .
No complications baby, keep it real .
Do unto me as I do and everything will be cool .
When you find yourself in times of trouble .
Remember that I'm by your side (I'm by your side) .
Lean on me when you're not strong, I'll be your friend .
I'll help you carry on .

Chorus: .
I'm down for whatever, no matter how you act .
You'll never have to worry about a thing .
I gotcha' back (I got your back) .
When no one else is there, with me you can chill .
Because it feels real good .
When you know somebody gots your back .
(I gotcha back) .

The One I Gave My Heart To

Hey... .
Uhhh...uhh.. .
yayyy...yeah...ee...yeahhh .

How could the one I gave my heart to, break my heart so bad? .
How could the one who made me happy, make me feel so sad? .
Won't somebody tell me, so I can understand... .
If you love me, how could you hurt me like that? .

How could the one I gave my world to, throw my world away? .
How could the one who said I love you, say the things you say? .
How could the one I was so true to, just tell me lies? .
How could the one I gave my heart to, break this heart of mine? .
Tell me... .

How could you be so cold to me? .
When I gave you everything .
All my love, all I had inside .
How could you just walk out the door? .
How could you not love me anymore? .
I thought we had forever .
I can't understand .

How could the one I shared my dreams with, take my dreams from me? .
How could the love that brought such pleasure, bring such misery? .
Won't somebody tell me? .
Somebody tell me please .
If you love me, how could you do that to me? .
Tell me.... .

Heyyy.... .

How could you just walk out the door? .
How could you not love me anymore? .
I thought we had forever .
I can't understand... .

How could the one I gave my heart to, break my heart so bad? .
How Could The one who made me happy, make me feel so sad? .
Won't somebody tell me? .
So I can understand .
If you love me, how could you hurt me like that? .

How could the one I gave my world to, throw my world away? .
How could the one who said I love you, say the things you say? .
How could the one I was so true to just tell me lies? .
How could the one I gave my heart to... .
How could the one I gave my heart to... .
How could the one I gave my heart to Break This Heart of Mine? .
Tell Me....

So I pick up my girls and hit the streets just because... .
Jazz-aray, it's Saturday and... .

The nigga diggin nation that's a sooner gets my grip .
So raise your hands if you're sure... .
Are you a young nation? .

You know to get them funky croaka-sacks .
Tonight I'm hittin' the town, ain't holding nothing back .
Hey!, Well alright tonight is the night .
Well I'm in the mood for celebration, or even some jazzy conversation .

Yo, back in the days I use.
d to listen to records .
Tryin' to figure out how I could make my own records .
Workin' in restaurants, bustin' on dishes .
Hopin' that the man upstairs respect my wishes .
Cigerette lighters, Ardig wallets, I was sellin' them .
'Till I met the B.H and bust down A capella to him .
He said you got talent and you're goin' places .
I'd heard that line before but what the heck I signed the papers .
Ever since that day I drew my head high it was on .
And now I'm mixing new music with the old school songs .
