Intro:
Yeah, ohh yeah, this one goes out,
to all the families that went through the struggle,
yeah, from the heart, it was from the heart, everything was real
yo, dwelling in the past, flash back when I was young
who ever thought that I would have a beby girl and 3 sons
I'm going through this difficult stage I find it hard
to believe why my old earth had so many seeds
but she's an old woman and do to me I respect that
I saw life for what its really worth and took a step back
family ain't family no more, we used to play ball
eggs after school, eat gritz cause we were poop
grab the plirs for the channel, fix the hanger on the T.V.
rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy
we survived winters snauty nose with no coats
we kept it real but the older brother still had a joke
sadly daddy left me at the age of six
I didn't know nutin' but mommy neatly packed his shit
she cried, and grandma held the family down
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went straight down
check it, 15 of us in a three bedroom apartment
roaches everywhere causons and aunts were there.
4 in the bed, 2 at the foot, 2 at the head
I didn't like to sleep with jon-jon he peed the bed
pluckin roaches out the cereal box
we shared the epoon, watchin saturday cartoons
sugar water was our thing, everymeal was no thrill
in the summer one lunch held us down like steel
and there was days I had to go to shea's house with a note
"shea and gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
so embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on the door
my friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper
look ms. Rose bought us a coach, shes the neighbor
2 brothers who must led this defeat kiiled me
but I remember this mom's would lick her finger tips
to wipe the cold out of my eye before school wit her spit
case worker had her runnin back for face to face
I caught a case worker, trying to throw us out our place.
sometimes I'm lookin back and analyze the sky,
goodnight
outro
sometime I'm lookin back and analyze the sky
let myself rock wasn't meant to be so hard
mary j: (chorus)
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through
(3x)
I can't think, about all the times we did without rain
I always said I woudn't cry, when I saw tears in your eyes
I understand that daddies not here know,
but some way some how, I will always be around
All things that I did from yesterday
oh from drunk to being there
being down and out and I love you always.

Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be
okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my booty away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
~chorus 2X~
Mary J. Blige
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin your stuff off,
boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning, of understanding
the bond between man and woman, and child
The highest elevation, cuz we above
All that romance crap, just show your love
~repeat chorus till fade~

Ticallion Stallion, ha ha, ha ha
Man woman and child, yeah
{Anything you need, anything you need}
While all the time that I was
loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago
chorus:
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
cuz you're not worth my tears
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
~chorus~
I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part
~verse 2~
~chorus~
You're my morning star
Shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love
It would last through all eternity
Just the way we are
Our love story
It's just the way it should be
chorus1:
Cause our love
Will stand tall as the trees
Our love
Will spread wide as the sea
Our love
Will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above
And we'll always be together
Our love
My love is surely one thing
You can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear
I go to you,
I know you'll make me strong
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me smile
chorus2: Our love
will stand tall as the trees
our love
Will be for the whole world to see
Our love
will change people's wrongs to rights
And will never die
Cause we will always have each other
ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
~chorus1~
Break it down
Just a little
Because love is soft, love is sweet
Love is right, love is gentle
Love is joy, love is pain
Love is laughing in the rain
I got love on my mind
Love is always around in time
lovin you, lovin me
Love is just a little baby
(Our love) I got love on my mind
Love is always around in time
Lovin you, lovin' me
Love is gonna stay here
(Our love)
Mmm...
Hmm oh oh, ho oh oh
Oh oh oh
La di da da
chorus:
Searching
(repeat 15x)
Do you hear what I hear
Can you see what I see
That my heart is crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
Mary? tell me why do you weep
Cause I'm trying to get over
All the negativity
That's why I'm searching
~chorus~
We are living in a world
Of who has what it moved into
But I'm telling you my friend
The answer's right in front of you
We are searching for a peace
A piece of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (everyday)
Oh ooh oh (it rains)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (can you stand the pain?)
Oh ooh oh (why do we live the way we choose to live?)
Oh ooh oh
Oh (I'm telling you my brother that we have to live)
~chorus~
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (Why you waste your searching)
Oh ooh oh (When the answer's right in front of you)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (I'm telling you)
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh (you better look straight a head of your path)
Oh (Because the love is always there)
~chorus till fade~
I don't wanna fuss n' fight
I just wanna make it right
What can we do to be strong
When we try to get along
i'm not trying to preach to you
But I am still searching too, yeah
Me and you can do it, oh
I don't never wanna be stressed out
I just wanna live my life
The way I feel that I should live
Cause I wanna be happy, happy
What about you and me
Get To Know You Better
Ooh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh
oh, yeah
Why do we go through things unnecessary
Why can't we understand that our love is the key
We can solve any problem if we only were unique
But you won't take the time to try to understand me
Our Love
bridge:
Our love will grow much stronger

Whoa, whoa, whoa, (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, (whoa, whoa)
(said I couldn't do it again, but I did)
chorus:
Can't get you off my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
(repeat)
The day we met was the last day
That I said I would look anyone else's way
Now you know that I'm with you
And I'll always be true
There's nothing in this world
That I won't do for you
~chorus~
The day you left, it was so sad
Now I'm standin' here holdin' onto the past
keep going on - gotta live your life
If we grow up in time
Maybe real love we will find

Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

You need rocks on the 4th finger
Of your left hand
Tell your bride's maid to hit off my best man
Always on my mind like money
You my honey, there when I'm laced, there when I'm bummed
Say word, it's type hard for me to get you off my mind
But I still get dough of course
True love, between a thug and a dove
Poppin' champagne in the tub, wha!
Ay yo, everything evolves around trust
Cause if it wasn't for you, then they wouldn't be no us
No jealousy, envy, and no lust
3-2-8 off the lot when I bust
Sittin' in the house countin' Lincolns and I'm still thinking
Can't get you off so I'm blinking
Sinkin', down in the silk couch, milked out
Your hole in my heart got my love all spilled out
Ooh, I can't get you...
~repeat chorus~
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
~chorus till fade~
(grow much stronger)
Our love will last much longer (last)
If we would take the time out
To find out what love is all about
That's why I'm saying
chorus:
I wanna get to know you better (only if you let me)
Only if you let me
Love will grow much faster
Happy ever after
That is what I'm after
I just wanna be with you, you
I do not understand why we can make it
But I would tell you one thing
I'm not trying to fake it
You can stay if you want to
Cause my love is the same
I will not disappoint you
And I won't be the blame
Our love
~bridge~
That is why I'm sayin'

La la la la la la la (la la la la la la la)

oh, ooh, oh
my everything
Everything, everything, everything
You are my everything
You are my everything
You, my everything
Everythung, everything, everything
It's all because of you
I'm never sad and blue
You've brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend
bridge:
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can't be replaced
chorus:
You are my everything (you are my everything)
love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are evrything
and everything is you
My darling only you
Can make my dreams come true
And every night I pray
You'll never go away
I promise I will try
To treat you like a king
Cause you are my everything
~bridge~
~chorus~
You are everything
And everything is you
(repeat 4x)
When you're lovin me
Put your lovin arms around me
When you're lovin me
Said I feel so safe I found security
When you're lovin me
Forever I want you home with me
My everything
my every every every everything
~repeat chorus~
You take me away
I'm not in love
It"s just some kind of thing I'm goin thru
Goin' thru, goin' thru
And it's not infatuation
Ain't nothin goin on between me and you
Me and you, me and you
But I dream about it every night babe
Wantin you here with me
Makin love to me
And oh
chorus:
I'm missin you like crazy
Body and soul is achin'
I'm out of control
Missing you so
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
I'm not in love, no no
And that's what I keep tellin myself
Over and over again
And I'm not the least bit amused by it baby
Yet still I don't wanna be with nobody else
No no no
And I dream about you all the time
Touchin and kssin me
And makin love to me
And oh
~chorus~
God knows I'm tryin to get you out of my head
I ain't tryin to love no one
I ain't tryin to get hurt again, no
But there's somwething that I just can't understand
And all I know is I can't let go
And that's the way it is
~chorus~
