Weight of this World

You can wait for all the money but it's never gonna come
With 2 aces in your pocket you can play the game until it's done
When the angel on your shoulder seems to turn the other cheek
Well it's about time someone came down here to comfort me
The whole world put a hex on my sweet name
Let it all fall to pieces if we stay the same
(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
I was walkin' down the street at night and then I hit a wall
There was a sign that said "where you goin', boy,
You're doing everything wrong"
I thought maybe I was going nowhere but I won't show up late
And the powers that be will surely rescue me
From living in the same old moment of obscurity
I'm running straight but I'm running behind
Gonna change my direction 'til I cross the line
(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
The whole world put a hex on my sweet name
Let it all fall to pieces if we stay the same
(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day

Move

Cool out, listen to the music play
Take your time, ain’t nothin’ to do today
Won’t you chill & vibe with me
And relax your mind
Another wasted Sunday morning
At least I was awake this time by 2
But not like anyone was calling
Ain’t nothin poppin off like I want to
Feel like I’m wastin’ my time to move...
Got a visit from my main man
And asked him what he thought that I should do
He told me what I need’s a game plan
Then we watched ‘Cribs’ and drank some brew
Feel like I’m wastin my time to move...
Maybe I’ll leave tonight
I wanna go see the sights
But then i’d have to leave my room
I need a career they said
I just wanna clear my head
and decide what I want to do
I’m wastin’ my time
I think I might enroll in school now
I’m sayin maybe take a course or two
But then again I just might cool out
and put that on my list of things to do
along with wastin my time to move...

So Good

Might find a secret place that no one knows
And then I'll kiss it sweetly so you'll be my own
Find a way to meet your every need
And you'll be crawling home back to me
I'll take the special things that make you wild
And turn em into something that becomes my style
Throw a quarter in that wishing well & say
You're so fine I wish you would stay
It's so good, you look so good
And when we get together it would feel so good
I'm taking my time, blowing your mind
And then you'll see how everything could be so good
Tired of waiting for that bird to sing
If you'll take my directions we could do our thing
Get it straight & then we'll get it right
And you'll be all mine tonight.
Some people want that precious stone
let's keep this so simple that all we want is to be alone
Keep some order in this universe if we can
And you'll see you're my woman and I'm your man
It's so good, you look so good
And when we get together it would feel so good
I'm taking my time, blowing your mind
And then you'll see how everything could be so good
Take my living, take my chain
And wear it 'round your neck, do you feel the same way
So the sun came shining down
Your wheels spin around
And you know me that you found
It's so good, you look so good
And when we get together it would feel so good
I'm taking my time, blowing your mind
And then you'll see how everything could be so good

Keely

I guess it’s true what they said of me
They said that I was gonna break your heart
It’s in my chemistry
“Oh he a good guy, yeah, but he got bad tendencies
That boy ain’t ready to settle down
You need to let him be”
And I wish that I could just rewrite the past
Why’s it gotta be the only time you see clear
is when you’re lookin back
Cause now I realize that I can’t survive
without your love
no matter how I try to occupy my time
nothing is enough
Honey I know, You lost all your faith in me
And i’m not proud of who I’ve come to be
But give me one chance & I promise I’ll make you see
Please don’t give up on me, Keely
Remember the good times
That old car i used to have
Beat up thing could barely make it down the road
and how you’d always laugh
I used to love to watch you lotion up and brush your hair
soon as you’d come out the shower
or when we’d just lay & turn the tv off
talk all night for hours
I’d give anything to see your smile again
Even if it takes another lifetime know
I’ll love you til the end
And I’ll treat you like the angel that you are
My lover and friend no I will never again
play games with your heart
Honey I know, You lost all your faith in me
And i’m not proud of who I’ve come to be
But give me one chance & I promise I’ll make you see
Please don’t give up on me, Keely
I just wanna make you smile again
I just wanna make you laugh again
Baby can you make me whole again

Carry Me Back
04:57

Somebody find me some peace of mind and I'll be living it
I'll be living it, forever
Somebody put it in my pocket and tell me it’s mine
I'm living it
I'll be living it, forever
Gone are the eyes that see only darkest places
Where every minute is a moment taken
Gone is the wreckage I refuse to bring me down
Everybody's got a chance, it'll come around
A strong wind's gonna carry me back
Carry me back, carry me back
A strong wind's gonna carry me back again
Carry me back again
Somebody find me some peace of mind and I'll be living it
I'll be living it, forever
Somebody put it in my pocket and tell me it’s mine
I'm living it
I'll be living it, forever
Lying face down huggin' 21st Street gets a little bit boring
Draw a line in the sand
The Triboro bridge will understand it if you leave in the morning
Sister holds her head up high and throws her hands up to the sky
Teach her how to walk and then how to run
Taking 2 steps back but 1 step trying
A strong wind's gonna carry me back
Carry me back, carry me back
A strong wind's gonna carry me back again
Carry me back again
Somebody find me some peace of mind and I'll be living it
I'll be living it, forever
Somebody put it in my pocket and tell me it’s mine
I'm living it
I'll be living it, forever
Is it a place or a space or a feeling
Won't you be a fortune teller for a moment
Telling peace be on my side
Hold your grace for a day and believe it
Never let a moment pass by
If the best parts of you are still stuck on the inside
A strong wind's gonna carry me back…
Somebody find me some peace of mind
Find me some peace of mind
If I could take nothing and still get high
I'm living it just enough to get by
Forever

More Than I

Heard you got yourself a new man, baby
And they say he's quite a guy
Squeaky clean and college educated
All American like mom & apple pie
Knows how to carry on a conversation
Always looks you in the eye
Likes to take you to exotic places
Guess you got the perfect man personified
Your friends and family must be ecstatic
That you're finally movin' on
They say I only held you back and
That you're so much better off now that I'm gone
But still I'm curious to where your head's at
'cause they tell me you're in love
And call it ego but I'm havin' trouble
Buyin' that it's really him you're thinkin' of
Don't wait (ooh),
Don't let love pass you by
And there's no way (ooh)
He loves you more than I
I wish you nothin' but the best and I mean that
But you know the best is me
Although I gotta keep it real
This thing ain't doin' wonders for my self esteem
I mean it's cool and all you got a new friend
But I can tell somethin' ain't right
'cause he don't know you like I know you babe
And you never really did like apple pie
Don't wait-ooh (did ya baby),
Don't let love pass you by
(he's just a lil' 2 clean 4 ya, maybe-
And there's no way (ooh)
He loves you more than I
I hope you had your fun
You don’t know what you want
But I damn sure got what you need
I'll let you take your time
Go on make up your mind
And then you'll see it’s me
So when you gonna learn that
Won't love you more than I do
So quit tryin' to run girl
Like if I ain't the one girl…

Just a Memory
05:53
|
|||

I used to think I was dreaming, when you came my way
Then it turned to believing there'd be a time
When you'd go away
The grass was green, I thought
Then you became my yesterday
So now I run to leave
Hope that you're happy to see
Your world ain't going down on me
I found all the love I need
Inside the air I breathe
You're just a memory
of what used to be
Second chance, second season
Forever's gone too soon
And as you know there's a reason
For me to find someone new
To touch your face I'd crawl
But you become my yesterday
If you could walk in my shoes
Would you feel special? Would you be moved?
Can't you see?
Your world ain't going down on me
I found all the love I need
Inside the air I breathe
You're just a memory
Let it go, let it sit for a while
As you know, the sun always rises
And all the pictures that remind you of her
Will fade, as the sun begins shining
So now I run to leave
Hope that you're happy to see
Your world ain't going down on me
I found all the love I need
Inside the air I breathe
You're just a memory
Girl you're just a phantom, figment of my dreams
And you've got no right to keep haunting me
Let me go, if you love me still don't let me know
'Cause it hurts too much, I've learned too much
To keep holding on
I can’t take these memories of what used to be
