Born To Sing

Intro
When i had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know i sit around
With my head hanging down
And i wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If i would of known then
The things that i know now
I might not have lost the time i complain about

Chorus
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love evryday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Chorus

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Chorus

Ad lib:
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

Fade

Chorus
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise

Chorus

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo i can't stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what debbie t. is really trying to say
When you break it all down we're all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies

Rain, such a simple thang
Every drop, a different stop
But they all come from the same
God is the cloud
And we are the rain
That's why i sometimes feel
That somehow we are the same

Whenever i lay my head to sleep
There's a strong thought that keeps haunting my mind
Careless whispers of a nation
That somehow was caught trapped in the dark
And nowhere to go
I know my thoughts are tellin' me

Chorus
Gotta be a part of me
I can feel it
Gotta be a part of me
In my heart, in my soul
Gotta be a part of me
The world must be callin' me
And my world comes from within

Life has no guarantees
That you'll keep what you have
Even though you're blessed with then
That's why i'm feeling
Some fear for the world
With all the grief and misery
How much real time is there

The sooner i take more responsibilities
I can truly say
I am grateful for my world
The irony of tryin' to do the right thing
Is whatever you do, some will undo
And sometimes destroy
And there's someone still left in darkness
And you say

Chorus

Bridge (spoken)
The world is what we make it
What we see today
Are the results of the mistakes they made yesterday
And what we see tomorrow
Will be the results of what we do today
It's a shame that peace and respect
Has been replaced with money and power
The children, they are the futures
So teach them how to love themselves
And they will love others
Don't you see, love - that's the key

Chorus

Out

It's ten o' clock and i'm still alone, waitin'
By the phone, it makes me think you won't
Be back again, and i'm feeling so intense.
(backs: got me waitin', got me waitin'.)

Chorus
I can't keep wastin' my time, waitin' on you
To come home, to come home now.
(repeat)

I fantasize of makin' love, it's such a lonely
Feeling without you, but i would not have
To dream, if you would just be there to
Share my love desire.

Bridge
I should not be alone, just waitin' for a
Man who says he loves me so. i have more
Patience than i can believe. it's a shame, i
Can't believe i'm still alone

Chorus

Intro:
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Repeat x14

Chorus
On and on, time goes on, never stops,
Just goes on
Repeat

I'm seem forever, since time began
So full of mysteries we don't understand
Searching for answers and remedies
As problems plague us like an enemy

Bridge
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop, nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on

Chorus

So many blinded by life today
When will we realize love the only way
It's time to wake up
'cause times have changed
Time waits for no one
It's a crucial game

Bridge

Chorus

Take care of business, don't procrastinate
We must decide on what becomes our fate
Nation to nation, love is the key
Let's take the time we need more unity

Bridge

Fade

Won't you come close to me now
Won't you come close to me now

Here i am baby
Right back in your arms
What is it 'bout your love
That draws me to you
And though this is not the first time, baby
I ever wanted to get away, no
Oh but the magic of your love
Just would not let me stray

So i find that i just can't
Stay away from you baby, you yea
You see, i just can't stay away from you

Let me tell ya
I've been through a lot of changes
See, my mama scorn me
Oh yes she did
And my closest friends, oh lord
You know they warned me
They said you're no good for me
But i just ignored it
Yes i did
Cause i didn't have time
No time, no time, no time
To sit around and decide what to do
When someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do

So you see that's why
I can't stay away
I don't wanna, from you

It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me

I can't stay away
You've been so good to me
I just love that man
Just can't, don't want to, i can't no way

Chorus:
No fear, no shame, you don't have to worry
'bout a thang
No fear, no shame, you don't have to worry
'bout a thang

Makes no difference
Near or far, baby
It's you i love no matter where you are
My dedication will never die
I'm always faithful till you break my heart
You don't have to keep seaching for dishonesty
It's always safer to let your love flow
I can guarantee
There's no need for doubting me
There is no other that's worth the trouble

Chorus

There's no reasoning for your dismay
Our love's been good up to this very day
No time for wondering
It's takes away
From all the time we have to share together
You can best believe
No one can just come between
Me and you and what we built together
I guess in time we'll see where our dedication leads
And in the end i know i'll be there for you

Chorus

Bridge
I can guarantee there's no need for doubting me
No time for wondering
You can count me

Chorus x3

he was a
Sexy, hip-hop boy
From oh chicago way...

He had a
Hip-hop style
No one could take away...

He was the top man of his class.
But when his number came up,
Then he was gone with the draft!

He's in the army now,
A rappin' revelry!
He's the boogie-woogie hip-hop boy from company b!
