Free Yourself

Fantasia Barrino Free Yourself Lyrics
1.Ain't Gonna Beg

I mean I'm not gon' beg you
I see, I see you just ain't ain't actin right
It's ok

Everytime I need someone to be there when I had me one of them
crazy days (I ain't gon' beg you)
Everytime I want someone to treat me like they always said they
were gon' treat me like (I ain't gon' beg you)

Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then imma let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you

No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you're not down down with this then baby there's a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

Everytime I wanna be wined and dined
Takin' out on a Friday night to spend a little time (I ain't
gon' beg you)
And everytime I need some huggin' and some lovin' but it's late
and I don't get nothin'
(I ain't gon' beg you)

Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then imma let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you

No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you're not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

(oooo) said I'm through with being patient I ain't here for you
just to come and
(take it when you wanna take it)
You took it all for granted (all that good love and all that
freaky stuff)
Is all gon'
(ooo... if that's how you is) Then let me tell you this
(take your lame-o tired excuses somewhere else) somewhere else
Cause you weak I don't wanna hear it (you weak I don't wanna
hear it)
Stay away I don't wanna get near it
Cause boy I'm movin' not only that...

No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you're not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

Ain't gon' beg you to love me
Ain't gon' beg you to hold me
Ain't gon' you to pick up and take me out
I ain't gon' beg you to ice me
Ain't gon' you to want me
Ain't gon' to do things a real man about


2.Free Yourself

Baby you don't pay me no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is uppredictable and I don't want to make you
unhappy
If your not happy then your free to go on cuz I don't want you
stayin around if I make you so
Miserable

If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me
then don't talk to me)
Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me
then don't talk to me)
Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me
then don't talk to me)
Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me
then don't talk to me)
Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)

Time again and again I tried I tried (baby don't you know I
tried) but the love I had inside has
Died has died (but the love I had inside)

Wont you be a man if it's over and just admit that things aint
the same instead of making me
Think its all good
Between us which ones the blame
I took a lot of too much to handle until I can't take this game
no more this love thing is full
Of scandal so you welcome to walk


I had to take it there I had to take it there because I'm tired
oh yeah


You play games if you don't want me don't talk to me
Hey go ahead and free yourself
Baby if you don't want me don't talk to me I'll be alright go
ahead to someone else
Yeah yeah.....


3.Truth Is

Ah Oh Ah Oh

Ran into an old friend yesterday
Caught me by surprise when he called my name
He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past
Talked for a while, asked him how it's been
Said that he was seeing somebody and
Told me this was gonna last
Showing me her photograph

And all the feelings that I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you

We reminisce on the way things used to be
Shared a couple laughs, shared some memories
Talked about the things that changed
Some for good and some for bad
Then he said good-bye and he paid for lunch
Promised that we'd always keep in touch
Grabbed my bags and grabbed my thoughts, walked away and that
was that

And all the feelings that I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you

Now the truth is it hurts but I know that the fault is mine
uz I let him go
Tried to get over it but it's messin' with my mind (Because I
know)

(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know
(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
Guess I still in love with you

I just gotta be honest, I guess, I-I guess, I still in love, in
love, in love


4.Selfish

Artist:Fantasia Barrino/Missy Elliott

I dont need anybody else
But you
Come on


Boy
Stop playin tricks on me
Cuz when I think I found the right one
I end up lonely
So dont judge me
Before you get to know me
I don't wanna share your love
Make me your one and only
Ooh

Come on
I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I dont need nobody else
Don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to

My heart
Cant take another heart break
Because every time I fall deep in love
Somebody go and hurt me
So this time
There will be no mistakes
If you allow me to prove myself
Boy I can make you happy

I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I dont need nobody else
Don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to

Im stingy with my man
Im stingy with the goodies
If you think my style fly then check the way I boogie
This one tough cookie
With shell toes and hoodies
Will approach any chic that walks up to my man
Never understand my man be my man
I shut the game down
This dude is mine now
Bring it to the ring
K.O. in one round
Miss demeanor and fantasia with the break down

I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure dont need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one
I wanna be
I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure dont need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one

Come on
I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I dont need nobody else
Don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to


5.Summertime

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich
Your mama's good looking
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're bound to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that morning
Nothing's going to harm you no
With Daddy and Mama standing by

Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
And the living is easy
(Living is easy)
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
(Sky high)
Oh your Daddy's rich
(Your Daddy's rich)
And your Mama's good looking
(Your Mama's good looking)
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
(Don't you cry)
Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
Summertime

This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

It's about time we had our own song
Don't know what took so long
Cuz now-a-days it like a badge of honor
To be a baby mama
I see ya payin' ya bills
I see ya workin' ya job
I see ya goin' to school
And girl I know it's hard
And even though ya fed up
With makin' beds up
Girl, keep ya head up

I see you get that support check in the mail
Ya open it and your like 'What the Hell'
You say 'This ain't even half of daycare'
Sayin to yourself 'This here ain't fair'
And all my girls who don't get no help
Who gotta do everything by yourself
Remember: What don't kill you can only make you stronger
My baby mama...

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

I always knew that (that we could)
We can go anywhere, we can do anything
I know we can make it if we dream
And I think it should be a holiday
For single mothers tryin' to make a way
But until then
Here is your song
Show love to my....

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas

7.Got Me Waiting

Just when I thought I found me
Someone I can go with just
When I thought I found me
Someone I can go with that's
When my girl friend came to
Me said she told me that nigga
Ain't nothing I seen him in the
Club acting like he wont no
Where around that's when I
Found out that you was nothing
For me and all the love that you
Said that you had
It turned out to be fonny and
I done gave you the best part
I don't know what else I can
Do to turn you around nooooooo

You got me waiting you got me waiting
When I am telling you everything you
Need to hear like baby come now you
Got me waiting but I can't keep waiting
On you acting like whatever I will always
Be around cause you think that you
Something like a pimp you can hang in
These streets and it will be all right with
Me ohhh baby now you got me waiting
But I can't keep waiting on you ohh

Look at me and tell me now if
I can be the last one that that
You think about thinking you
Can keep running out my life
My life my life why is its so
Hard for you to pick up the phone
And call me put a little time in for
Me to show that you really care for
Me remember how you used to say
That nothing comes before me you
No it was a lie because you put your
Boys before me promises promises
Made and broken still I keep
Holding on thinking you would that notice that

You got me waiting you got me waiting
When I telling you everything you need
To hear like baby come now you got me
Waiting but I cant keeping waiting on you
Acting like whatever I will always be
Around cause you think that your something
Like a pimp and you can hang in these streets
And it will be all right with me but baby you
Got me waiting and I cant keep waiting on you

There comes a time in every mans life
Where he has to do everything his girl
Likes because if he don't choose to
Play by the rules I am sure there's
Somebody else out there who just would love
Too do me hold me go the extra mile
Like you did when you was trying to
Get to no me do me hold me treat me
Nice and show me all the things you
Forgot to show me cause

You got me waiting got me waiting
When I am telling you everything
You need to hear like baby come
Now you got me waiting but I cant
Keep waiting on you acting like
Whatever cause I will always be
Around cause you think that your
Something like a pimp you can hang in
These streets and it will be all right with
Me you got me waiting but I cant keep waiting on you


8.It's All Good

The things you told me I
Had me open I
Gave you something I gave nobody else
Led me to believe you had had just what i need
Now i see its game guy been dragging my name
You put on a show kept the music slow
Got all up in my ear saying things that i love to hear
Tears came to my eyes but im not gonna cry
Everything that you ever said turned out to be all lies

Cause it's all good
Didn't care that you broke my heart
It's all good
What u had but u hit and run
Its all good
U mistake my love for fun
Boy u played the part just to get my heart
Damn it hurt but it's all good

You had her in my car
Like she was a star
Promised i would be if i satisfied all your needs
I feel like a fool
Cuz i trusted you
Did what i didn't want to do
Just cuz u wanted me to
I gave my soul and I
Just don't know why
Couldn't i recognize you were about lies
All my girls out there just cuz he say he cares
U can't believe everything that he spits in your ears


All my girls that have been hurt brush the dirt off cuz its all
good
All my girls that have been hurt throw you hands up cuz it's all
good


It's all good (It's all good)
Shouldn't have let you break my heart
But it's all good (it's all good)
Should have known it from the start
But it's all good (it's all good)
Boy you played around with my heart
But it's all good (it's all good)
You played the part to bet my heart
Damn it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
But it's all good (it's all good)
You played with my heart
but it's all good (it's all good)
Fantasia's from the hood
But it's all good (it's all good)
Yeah Yeah

All my girls that have been hurt brush the dirt off cuz its all
good
All my girls that have been hurt throw you hands up cuz it's all
good


9.You Were Always On My Mind

Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have,
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm so sorry I was blind...

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time...

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Baby, give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
Because you're always on my mind...

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Cause I'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down cause I'm so deep in the struggle

Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah

Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while I'm tryna sing
Hope I hit it big so I can send for my daughter

Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

13.I Believe

Have you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
And tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
Can lift you up and guide you on your way

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, I believe

When you look out in the distance
You see it never was that far
Ohhh No
Heaven knows your existance
And leads you to be everything you are
Ohhh
There's a time for every soul to fly
It's in the eyes of every child
It's the hope, the love that saves the world
And, ohhh, we should never let it go


I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah


Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high
