Whatever trys to stop you from livin'

Cause right now what I have to do is
I gotta amp myself up as well as you
So, yeah, so what it took me like
Maybe two years and shit
But I'm feelin' prepared

And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss

Verse 1
May be silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Bridge
Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
Could your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
Chorus
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
Verse 2
You said that she's one who helped you see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get in between
But I see possibilities
(Hey hey)
Bridge 2
And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real
And I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
Chorus
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
J.D.: say you jealous but you can't tell me why (x7)
(Your girlfriend)
It's enough to make a nigga go crazy
repeat chorus

A Woman's Worth Lyrics Top
You could buy me diamonds
You can buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby, you know I'm worth it
Wanna please,wanna keep,wanna treat your
woman right?
Not just dough,better show, that you know she's
worth your time
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She can and she will find a man who knows her worth!
Chorus:
Mmmmmmmmm
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first)
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth
Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x3)
(Hold up)
If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when this shit gets rough
Baby, I know your worth it
She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while
being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has
for you
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows
her worth!
OH!

Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)

Goodbye Lyrics Top
Mhmn bye bye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
When your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
I know now I was naive
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
When your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
Is this the end (end)are you sure (are you sure)
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard (hard)to just let go (just let go)
When this is the one and only love I've ever known
So, how do you find the words to say ( when it's been so long )
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)(to say good bye)
When your heart don't have the heart to say (mmmmmmmm yeah ohhhh yeah)
To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
(Fade out)
The Life Lyrics Top
Verse 1:
Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walkin down the streets I find (heyyyyy)
I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more?
I don't even know what I'm hustlin for
You gotta do what you gotta do
Just to make it through
All the hard times that's gonna face you
Chorus:
This is the life
(This is the life)
Striving to survive
(Yeah 6x's)2x's
Verse 2:
Living will always be a struggle
Looking for someone true to love you
Looking back I see all the horrors
This madness makes me wanna hide
I watch slowly, internally
I'm dying
Pillowcases wet from all my crying
Cause there is nothing more to be here for
Take me away
I can't live that life no more
(Chorus 4x's)
This is the life
Yeah (6x's)
(Repeat with adlibs till end)
Mr. Man (Featuring Jimmy Cozier) Lyrics Top
(jimmy):
Somethin' about the way you smiled at me just drove me wild.
Wish I could know if you're alone, don't want to cramp your style
But I can not deny the feel that I feel when I looked straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for the challenge may arise
chorus 1:
I wanna know if you feel the way I do, I do
I wanna know if there's a chance for me and you, and you
If there's no way meet at the bar and say you can't, you can't
'cause I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair
(alicia):
Like the way you've given me attention through the night.
Maybe I've had too much Remy my; man's right by my side.
Every time I catch you watching me feel something down my spine
I'll play the game it's just for fun and only for tonight, all night
chorus 2:
I wanna know what makes you feel the way, you do, you do
I think you're hoping there's a chance for me and you, and you
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't, we can't
'cause I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
unfair to mr. man
I know all you wanna know is answers, wanna know is answers
'cause you can give me what I need (you can give me everything I need)
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires, should we let our desires lead?
repeat chorus 1 (3x's)
Never Felt This Way (Interlude) Lyrics Top
Ohh, Ohh
There will never come a day,
You will never hear me say,
That I want,
Or need to be without you,
I wanna give my all...(piano)
Baby just hold me,
Simply control me
Because your arms,
They keep away the lonely,
When I look into your eyes,
Then I realize,
All I need is you in my life,
All I need is you in my life,
Cause I never felt this way about lovin',
Nooo, never felt sooo good,
Baby never felt this way about love,
And it feels so good.
Butterflyz Lyrics Top
Mmhmn mmhmn
Lately when I look into your eyes i realize
You're the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you make me feel inside
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
It seems like the likely thing
From the start you told me I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I want to give you everything
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz
You and I are destiny
I know that you were made for me
Oh oh ooh
I can't control it
It's driving me
Taking over me and I.....
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
(OOhh I Know I Know)
You give me something
I jus cant deny
Something thats so sweet
I just cant control the way i feel (Repeat twice)
Why Do I Feel So Sad Lyrics Top
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it couldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
(Ad-lib to end)
Caged Bird Lyrics Top
Mmmmmm Mmmmm
right now i feel like a bird
caged without a key
everyone comes to stare at me
with so much joy and revelry
they don't know how i feel inside
through my smile i cry
they don't know what they're doin to me
keeping me from flying
that's why i say that i know why the caged bird sings
only joy comes from song
she's so rare and beautiful to others
why not just set her free
so she can fly, fly, fly
spreading her wings and her song
let her fly, fly, fly
for the whole world to see
Mmmmm Mmmmm
she's like a caged bird
fly, fly
Ooh, just let her fly, just let her fly, just let her fly
spread her wings, spread her beauty
