Monica All Eyez On Me Lyrics
1.I'm Back

It's been a while
Since I saw you
And since you hurt me
And it's been a while
Since I saw started
Back doing my thing
And if you wanna know
Why I've been on the low
What you see was me
Getting to know me
And now it's time to see
That I

I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to

*Back to what I love, giving up hugs
Taking time to say, 'What's up?'
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to selling out shows, doing videos
Letting all my people know
I'm back and I won't lose track*

I heard some things
Things that weren't true
Supposed to be about me
But I have a dream
And I won't let nobody stop me
I tell you know now
That I'm gonna stay around
And that they can do them
'Cause I'm a do me
And now it's time to see
That I

I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to what I love

Repeat *

Ooh, it feels good to be back
And, ooh, how could people think that
That I, I wouldn't get my spot back
And for those who thought that just know
That I'm back to what I love

Repeat * x2 with ad lib

When I step in the club
There's so much Love
All Eyez on Me
All the girls and thugs
Glasses go up

If you're looking right
And your game is tight
Come chill with me
Get up on the floor
And dance some more
The night's just beginning

I can feel your eyez on me
You're watchin'
And off up in the club
Tonight it's poppin'
And I can tell that you're feeling it, too

Now when I'm doin' my thang
You checkin' for me
Just step my way
Don't you be
Too shy or be ashamed
You get love from me
So when we movin' close
We're toe to toe
Just dance with me
And when we've come to an end
Me and my friends

Come on let me see you work it out

Baby tonight if you hold it down
I can give you all that I got


I see you (ah baby!)
You watchin' me (ah baby!)

3.U Should've Known

Verse 1:
I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping sprees in L.A. or Melrose
Boy if you didn't know it, well now you know
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I've been holding us down on my own
You know

Chorus:
I'm never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why I've kept it real
And why I'm still with you

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better

Verse 2:
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it, who comes to see you
Every Saturday and Monday I was on, on
It's me your girl, your life, your world
My family and friends, they just don't understand
They say I should leave you alone
But I say that they should all just leave us alone
Don't you get it?

Chorus:
I'm never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why I've kept it real
And why I'm still with you

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better

Guitar Solo

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better


4.Too Hood

JD:I don't think y'all can handle this
I don't really think Y'all can handle this
Mo,I don't think they can handle this
I don't really think they can handle this

*I'm too hood for you
I ain't trying to act too good for you
I'm just trying to tell you what's real and true
Baby,I don't think you can handle this(I'm too)
I'm too hood for you
Tell me what you know about
Crime don't crow about
Hair braided up with the gold in your mouth
Nothing,nothing(I'm too)*

I don't wanna pull your card
Play you out,call you soft
But the line you just kicked to me
It won't get you nowhere with me
I can see that you are not
The kind of guy that I like
Me and you could never be
You're too nice and just too pretty and...

(Repeat*)

It's not your fault I'm from the hood
I love' em bad and hate' em good
To keep it real with you honestly
That's the only type of figure that can handle me
All tidied it up or faded up
A player that don't give a what
I'm the only one he gets inside
When he does it's ride or die
That's why I'm...

(Repeat *)

I try not to let it show
Something said,Mo,let it go
And let yourself be free
'Cause I can take myself out of the hood
But I can't take the hood out of me
I'm a gangsta,got diamonds in my teeth
So ghetto,yeah,just one of these
I gotta have the heart to play the part
And talk the talk to walk these streets
I'm too hood

JD:Call it what you like
Sometimes I like to fight
Get fly,get high
Party all night
Keep at lease five grand
In my pocket in a rubber band
Only rock it if it's name brand
You know
Prada,Gucci,Polo whatever
The car
Gotta have in wood grain and leather
The shoes
They gotta be twenties or better
I don't care if you're in a Benz or a Jetter
Ladies with tattoos
About three or four
Of somebody's name
You don't even see no more
And you gotta have the flings
Some rings or a neckpiece
Bracelet or studs in your eat at lease
Fellows with more than two BM's
That's too hood
Girls that dress like Lil' Kim
That's too hood
Can talk without cursing gold teeth
And Mel K,oh,that's me
I'm just too hood

(Repeat* 3 times with ad lib)


5.I Wrote This Song

I can't believe you're gone
Why'd you leave
Sometimes they hurt so bad

Verse 1:
He's the kind of guy
that runs the streets
But he treats me good
and he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
and I respect the fact that
He's chosen that life
but it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
wondering where he's at, is he okay?
I wanna be by his side
but I commit a crime
I need to exclaim
I don't wanna live that way

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Verse 2:
Though he promised that he would never put me in harm's way
That's something that he can't control
Cause the game remains the same
Now he says he wants out of here
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he will go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at and it hurts so bad
That I had to choose if I wanna live, or die with you

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Bridge:
I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
The tears fell from my eyes
And there's no turning back
There's only goodbye

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
Without you
Without you


6.U Deserve

Oh...yeah...yeah
Oh...oh...oh...
Listen to me

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Yes, you do)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games

You should know life is what you make of it (No, no)
Regardless (No, no) who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Why you wanna be with him
'Cause all you ever do is cry
He'll tell you that you ain't enough
He's tearin' you apart inside

And when you need a ear, I listen
To everything you have to say
I tell you every day to leave
But it seems you'd rather stay

And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him
And girl, you can't just let him abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (So when you're hurt)
Don't come cryin' (Don't) talkin' 'bout he's playin'
games (Maybe you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Now that you've a guy you'll kiss
Can't you use him as your strength
To get out of a bad situation
To get out this relationship

I promise you he'll never change
I know you really want him to
So all the things he promises
I hope you don't expect him to do

And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him,
oh, no, no
And girl, you can't just let this man abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to then you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so when
you're hurt, oh)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it then you deserve it

Peep the whole scene and whatever's goin' on around me
Burned out, clutchin' my pillow, stuck in the County
You hate when I step off with honeys and rabies break
Who sayin' I want a baby chase, you can't relate
Pump your brakes, mami, please 'cause you buggin' me out
And treat me worse than them streets, it's like doggin' me out
But I could look into your eyes and see you achin' inside
You hope I da-da-da-da-da-da-da
You deserve (And so you deserve)

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh,
heartache and the pain)
Don't come cryin' (Don't come cryin') talkin' 'bout
he's playin' games (No, no, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it, ooh, then you deserve it

Listen to me
Realize that I can make you see
Are you ??? now
Do you wanna live a lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh listen)

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so when you
hurt)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it (Life is what you
make of it, oh)
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it you deserve it


7.Breaks My Heart

Hey, yeah...
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh, yeah
Oh...oh...

When I think of what I've done all the pain that I've brought
Baby, you should have walked out on me
And when I've turned away from you whenever there were hard
times
How could you still be with me

And if it was no mistake when I hurt you that day
And went out with somebody new
But still you forgave me like it was so easy
I should have been mad at you

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
That you're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Never gave you my heart 'cause I never thought
You deserved any of me
I never told you how I felt when deep inside I knew that
You're really what I need

And I always gave you up whenever I saw
Something better come along
And right when I come back you're waitin' for me
And you welcome me home

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

And if it takes my whole life I'll make it up to you
'Cause I've been so cruel
And you've given your love to me in spite of everything
I-I don't deserve you

From this day forward I'm truly yours
But it took me a while to see
That we were meant for one another
Thank you for loving me

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh, I...I...I...
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

Cause I'm sick of you hurting me
It's not the fact that it's your baby

Cause I'm tired of you,me,and she

10.What Hurts The Most

Yeah...yeah
Oh...oh...
Oh...
Listen

Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed
Since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy for you

And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now
You'll be holdin' on to me
But instead you tell me

Things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is 'bout to be through

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the
chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'll always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love oh, how I'm missing now

I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you

And oh, what am I supposed to do
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you

But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is 'bout to be through

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
You know things are different now, you're gonna settle down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'll always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now

I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh, yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really need me
Don't you love her like you used to love me

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
But things are different now, you're gonna settle down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'll always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now

What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so

What hurts the most


11.Searchin'

When I hear the children of today
They're questioning me the way
The way that they should live
I often wonder
Wonder what to do
To help them make it through
And the world's going straight

Open my heart to see
That is time with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe

Sometimes I feel so down
And no one here's around
But you, you never left me lonely
And now I see what a true friend means
And I trust that you would always be here for me
Lord I give you all

Open my heart to see
That is time with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe

Now I'm here before you
So tell me what to do
(Guess I'll do open my heart)
My heart to you
Here I am
Searching for all the answers to my problems
Lord I'm facing things
Can you help me
You're trying all that I need
The things I belive
Lord, no no no no
Here I am
Here I am
I'm searching for searching for it
Lord I need, need, need
That's tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
Here I am
Lagging all the understand single things I can't see
I am your child
Oooh oh oh
That're tryin' me
Can't you help me
I'm lagging understanding
I'm your child no matter what they say
I'm with you every day
Protect me every day
Protect me oh oh..


12.Just Another Girl

You think your slick in every way changing up on your calls on
your phone everyday
Is there something that you're trying to hide from me?
I never gave you reason to
Run and take your calls in the other room.
Am I the only one or is somebody else kissing at you?
Is this my imagination?
Things ain't always what they seem.
Cause I don't want to be.

Just another face in the crowd and it's got me shook.
I've got to mean a little more to you
Than a space in your list of things to do.
Another g-shock gun in your Benz.
Another dumb bitch that you can show all your friends.
You can call me crazy, say I'm insecure.
But I don't wanna be just another girl.

ooooh ohhhh ohhh mmm hhmmm
Strange how you claim to tell all the truth.
When the passenger seat in your car has been moved
And you swore that there was no one else but you.
And so now you can't explain why'd you called me by somebody
else's name.
You say it's history, player, thing's are through or so you say.
Is this my imagination?
Things ain't always what they seem cause I don't want to be


Tell me, how you lie and reason my suspicious mind.
I've gotta know the truth if I'm just another girl you treated
wrong.
Not the one you string along
Is it you and me, is it two or three?
Cause I don't want to be


13.What My Heart Says

la la la la la la la la

Verse 1:

So let them say it's wrong for me to love you they could never
feel the way

they can never
change my mind

It's what my heart says that is what I listen to

Verse 2:

So let them say that I'm a fool to fall so deeply cause they
will never ever be
loved so completely
How can they even talk that way
They can't see it through my eyes
They can't feel this love inside all their words don't mean a
thing
They can't change the way I feel

It's what my heart says that is what I listen to
( I listen to it )
It's what my heart says it tells me what to do
( It feels so right )
It's what my heart knows that's the only, only truth I know it's
real
( All I hear is what my heart says to me )

Bride:
