The First Lady

Faith Evans The First Lady Lyrics
1.Goin' Out

I've been on the road
But now I'm back again
And this time, hah - I brought my little friend

Me and my girls are goin out tonight(OWW!!)
Me and my girls are goin out tonight(yep)
Me and my girls are goin out tonight(haha)
Me and my girls are goin out tonight(Star Trak!)
Me and my girls are goin out tonight
Me and my girls are goin out tonight(Star Trak!)
Me and my girls are goin out tonight
Me and my girls are goin out tonight(c'mon)

You mean the most, to me in this world
I've been thinking to myself a lot
You probably think it's my girls
But when you got the love
It's not like you ain't calling home
And the conclusion I came to - is baby I am going
Last night, I thought about if this should end
I should be starting a new life
So tonight, I'm hanging wit my girlfriends
And I'm starting a new life


OOOHHHHHHHHHH..
You should think about what you did wrong, if you love me
OOOHHHHHHHHHH..
Such a pity I had to write this song
Better luck wit your next girlfriend
Last night, I thought about if this should end
I should be starting a new life
So tonight, I'm hanging wit my girlfriends(we're hanging out)
And I'm starting a new life(we're hanging)

Pusha! I'm finally back at ya two years later, hiatus was +Hell+
300K thanks to digital scales
Uh! Eggshell whites, had them boys on my tail
The truth out, now you don't have to question what I sell
Far as the fucking flow, I'm the hottest 'round
Tap your girl ma, ask her how this sound
Condos, fast cars, that's Miami Heat
If you know they just copped Shaq, you got the floor seats
(Whachu talkin bout?) All that hair and all that wear
BAPE, BBC, Three Dots and all that there(what?)
I spent green mayne on that bling chain
Make ya scream like the silly nigga from Ying Yang(HAAH!)
As God as my witness, my fist does clenched this
Green like fist of big Grinch Stole Christmas
Re-Up time and it's the work that we bringing out
Hot off the wire, Faith tell 'em whachu thinking bout

Last night, I thought about if this should end
I should be starting a new life
So tonight, I'm hanging wit my girlfriends(we're hanging out)
And I'm starting a new life(we're hanging)

OOOHHHHHHHHHH..


2.Again

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh

Now I done felt a lot of pain
and I done seen a lot of things
From struggling and broken heart and fancy cars(oh yeah)
And even though my money change
I tried my best to stay the same
But you know with mo money
Mo problems came

If I had to do it all again(if I had to)
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I've learn so much from my mistakes that's how I know he is
watching me

In ATL I caught a case
And the media tried to say
I had a habit
I couldn't manage and I'm throwing my life away
But everything ain't what it seems just because its on TV
Cuz they speculate and exaggerate for a better story

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I've learn so much from my mistakes that's how I know he is
watching me

Nobody knows what life may bring
It might make you happy it might make you sad
Sometimes yeah but I know there's a reason for everything(but I
know)
That's why I keep believing
Whatever is meant to be its gonna be

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am(Cuz it made me)
If I had to do it all again
I've learn so much from my mistakes that's how I know he is
watching me
If I had to do it all again(if I had to)
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I've learn so much from my mistakes that's how I know he is
watching me


3.I Don't Need It

Lately I've been worrying you out there huggin the block and
I'm here alone again you know i'll do what it takes to hold you
down but all this lying
to myself is startin to stress me out cant' complain
I know you tryin to make life better for us but things gotta
change
or this ain't gonna last for ever
and I can't take it cause I miss you so much

You say you want me to have the world and
I believe it but if that means you not here with me then
I dont need it oh no oh no

Now i'm Not ready to trade in all my county bags and
i'm not sayin that you should rush and take the bently
cause im close so acustomed to our
life style but i'll trade it all to have you around can't
complain
I know you tryin to make life better for us but things gotta
change cause this ain't
gonna last for ever and I can't take it cause i miss you so much

You say you want me to have the world
and I believe it but if that means your not here
with me then i dont need it

I know I never say it but I do appreciate the things you do I
Appreciate everything but the only thing that matters that
I rather just be with you you know i rather be with you
All i need is you so you don't have to give me the world

6.Tru Love

Six Years five months
That's how long we've been havein' this thing
We've got every moment hasn't been perfect
But still when it's perfect it feels
Like we're the only 2 people who have somethin' real
Now 3 years two weeks
That's how long we've been raisin' our family
And I wouldn't go tradin
*The love that we got
So don't go changin'
I love you just the way you are

It's true love
When you say you need me like i need you
And you can't be without me
Like I can't be without you
It's true love
When we spend time talking on the phone
Cause when we're not around each other we don't want to be
alone
It's true love, love, love, love
Don't you know that it's good to be in love, love, love, love
Just believe me truthfully cause
Love is never ever makin you cry
Before I tell you a lie
*I'll give my life
Cause that's true love

Now when the love is right
Somehow you just know
Because you hold it tight
And you don't want to let it go
And it's so deep inside of you that
You just can't take it cause it fills up your heart
And you just, you can't replace it oh no
Somebody's makin love
Non-stop tonight
And they can't make enough
I know what it feels like
Grab your lover by the hand
Say that you understand
How love really works
So good that it hurts

Cause I don't need nobody but you in my life oh baby
Those of you who understand what I'm sayin'
*Sing along with me say I
Cause I don't need nobody but
You in my life oh baby
Those of you who understand what I'm sayin'
Let me hear you say true love


7.Jealous

Now let me be real with you.
About my feeling's.
The way that i deal with you.
I just can't conceal it.
I don't really mind all your female friends and all.
Just know that i'm pssessive,
And aggressive when it comes to you.

Im so jealous
I can't help it i'm not the type who cares to share because im
selfish.
Im so jealous i cant control it
Aint no need to lie about it cause i know it.

Now don't you get it confused cause im not trippin' and i know
thers no substitude
For what im givin'
But all the super friendly extra lovey dovey hugs and greetings
Make me feel like you might be out there cheating.

Every now and then i might check you caller I.D.
Just to see who's callin' other than me
Every other girl i know does the same thing too.
But they dont even say that they do Oh.

Im so jealous
I can't help it
Im not the type that cares to share because im selfish.
Im so jealous i can't control it
Aint no need to lie about it cause i know it.


8.Ever Wonder

Baby, if I just been a little different lately.
But I wanna understand you so much more.
Open the door. anything just tell me.
Open up and say it baby.

Lately, I've been tryin to keep my distance crazy.
It's not what I expected at first
But now I undersatnad you gotta be a man.
And now it so clear to me so you can keep it real with me.


Maybe, we jumped into this situation to early
But it's something that our bodies can't ignore
Now you want more but I think I'm ready
Just open up and say it baby

Baby,not to mention that you got me feelin' crazy
Everytime you walk through my door
My emotions won't let me say no
And now I'm wonderin' if after this you'll want me more

You see I'm feelin' you
You know I'm wantin' to
Put all my trust in you
'cause aint no guarantee

And I'm so glad you do
I feel the same way too
All we gotta do is keep communicating


9.Catching Feelings

Oh oh(oh oh)

(take your time)

If you just..relax..and take your time
You'll see in me you'll find peace of mind
Something about the way that you touch me it makes me glow
in me you can confide
but the love it takes some time

Feels like you can be the one that's catchin' feelings
i know you can't help it but just slow down
boy you know you alright with me(you know that you're alright)

if you weren't so young
maybe we could be serious oh
infatuations killing me so mysterious
when there's no other you'll be my lover if you play it
cool(baby just take it slow)
I can't fall in love with you(in love with you) so maybe we can
rondevu(rondevu)

Feels like you can be the one that's catchin' feelings
i know you can't help it but just slow down
boy you know you alright with me(you know that you're alright)

I knew you where so young
you were just a love thing and I
I just let you get a taste of my love
I let my guard down
it was only supposed to be one time oh but now we find our
selves
doing it over and over and over
cause what we have is only physical(only physical)
I gotta give you time to let you grow

it feels good but you gotta slow down
catchin feelings
cause i don't wanna turn you out catching feelings
(baby just take it slow)
all you gotta do
just take it slow

whoa ohh whao
whao ohh whao


10.Get Over You

I can remember the day and time that we broke up
It was December and the holidays were coming up
I didn't expect to loose all of the time I shared with you
But now that it's gone I find myself longing for you

No doubt about it I'm sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I don't know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I can't ain't no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me

Its true I can't get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I can't get over you

I can remember calling your phone and hanging up
Cause I was to afraid to talk, if by chance you picked it up
But now that I done thought about it,
I'd feel better if we talk about it
And let you know what's on my mind
See I wanna try to make things right.

No doubt about it I'm sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I don't know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I can't ain't no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me

Its true I can't get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I can't get over you

Lately I've been doing some reminiscing
I'd be lying if I said that I don't miss you
I have feelings from deep in the past
Cause now I need you back
It wasn't so bad

Its true I can't get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I can't get over you

I can't get over you
I can't get over you
No I can't get over
Said no way I can't get over
I can't get over you
Alright yea yea


11.Until You Came

Love was just a four letter word
Misused to entrust the heart of followers
But it never meant a damn thing to me
Until you came so unexpectedly
Then you curved my whole attitude
Got me feelin' ways that I never thought I could
See really what I'm tryin' to say is I like what I'm feelin'
And I hope you never take it away

I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
Until you came
Baby I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
And then you came, baby I

I can't believe you walked through my defenses
And made me smooth out my rough ends and
You got me open and I'm hopin' that this ain't no act
'Cause I don't want no parts of that
Matter fact, I really hope that you're true
'Cause I wanna invest my time in you
And all my childish dreams with all my conversations
'Cause I know that somethin' special's in the makin' I

Ooh la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Yo! Seriously though, I'm buggin'. I'm, I'm really confused
'Cause I trust you with some things you say, but with other
things
I just don't trust you. But my mama said work with it, you know
what I mean?
It's like I've been going through all these emotions
And I'm dealin' with stuff I've never dealt with before
It's like you just, hmm, you got me straight trippin' boo.
I don't even know what's wrong with me.
But I hope you understand how I feel, 'cause I really care about
you.
So check this out baby.


12.Lucky Day

Today...is a lucky day
We can...get away
Just tell the dj to play(and play)
I just want to hear you play my favorite song
I just to hear you play my favorite

Dj's got me feeling kinda sexy
Got my body moving on the floor
Everytime i hear that Funky music
I just let the rhythm take control
Come on...come on

I like the jam your playing for me(don't stop don't stop that
jam)
Don't stop the jam just play it for me
(it's that jam yeah, it's that jam yeah)

When you put the needle on the record
Ain't nobody standing on the wall
Everybody's stepping at this party
Doing what we're doing
Everybody just get down and have a ball

Let the music play till the break of day yeah
Got to feel the groove got to make a move
As we dance all night till the morning light


13.Hope

I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit
a lick, And I(I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother,
And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with
in this song, And I(I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And
I
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I(I
wish)
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
So that all the solders that were sent over seas come home
We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry
today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let's HOPE!

Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful(hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful

I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin
up(I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have 'em trippin of the joy I bring,(shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I(I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie
Wonder,(you feel me)(I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don't nobody in my family see six feet,(ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain' strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I(I
wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R.
Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath
again,(shit)(I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that we could never get the blues,
Wish I could bring back the people that died, Eddy too
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let's HOPE

Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful(hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful

Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give
it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live
it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war
Why can't we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King 'Why can't we all just get
along',
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and prophecies,
You can be wrong if it's you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let's HOPE

Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful(hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful
