6.I Can See A Storm Coming

I Can See A Storm Coming, Storm Coming
I Can See A Atorm Coming.

I Can See A Storm Coming, Just What I Need After Such A Good
Night.
You Are Hidind And Running, Altough The Weather Forcast Said It
Will Be Alright
Another Bittersweet Moning, Funny How The Weather Seems Like My
Life.
Cause The Rain Fallin On The Outside Matches My Moves.

I Hear You Say It's Gonna Be Alright, But That Not True
Cause Everytime You Get Tired Of See Me Around,
You Say Something Really Silly, Like 'i Just Wanna Be Alone'

And It Hurts Me More Than You Will Ever Know.
Everytime I Get Next To You, You Want Me To Go.
And It Hurts Me More Than You Will Ever See,
I Guess You Never Really Cared That Much For Me..

I Can See A Storm Coming, Storm Coming
I Can See A Atorm Coming.

I Can See A Storm Coming. Winds Like These Can Tear Me Apart
No Time To Be Frontin', I Guess I Knew How You Were Right From
The Start
Im Trying To Figure Out One Thing, How I Could Trust A Guy Like
You With My Heart.
Cause You Leave My Head Pounding, Just Like The Rain.
Say You're Sorry, Turn Around, And Do It Again.
Now It Seems I've Become An Unstikeble Pain,
Cause The More You Say You're Changing, Yes The More You Stay
The Same.

And It Hurts Me More Than You Will Ever Know.
Everytime I Get Next To You, You Want Me To Go.
And It Hurts Me More Than You Will Ever See,
I Guess You Never Really Cared That Much For Me..
No You Don't.

I Can See A Storm Coming, Storm Coming
I Can See A Atorm Coming.


7.Kiss The Kids

Said you've been losin' your mind, baby
A little bit at the time, baby
I should have seen the signs, but I guess I've been blind
Doin' your cookin' and cleanin'

All the words you said, baby
And the miles we made, baby
I wish I known in time, that you were only lying
And your words had no meaning.

Thought this would have been another ordinary day.
But when i woke, i found your note and this is what you had to
say

'Baby im gone, so kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for
me baby
Get thrue this for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby.
Apologize for me baby, tell a couple of lies for me baby
Kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby.
Tell them daddy sais hey, tell them daddy sais hey'

Well i refuse to understand so tell me,
What can make a man, baby
Walk away and leave his family crying, with no one to rely on.
Could you think it's right, baby
How do you sleep at night
How can your conciense still be alive when our hope is dying,
No you're not even trying.

Midlife crises is such a lame excuse, It's not enough to say
your sorry.

'Baby im gone, so kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for
me baby
Get thrue this for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby.
Apologize for me baby, tell a couple of lies for me baby
Kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby.'

I tell them why you had to leave us alone,
You see the god lord never blessed their daddy with a backbone
I'll be sure to tell them something else,
It's not our fault you're feeling sorry for yourself
You packed your bags and you walked way and all you can find to
say is

'Kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby
Get thrue this for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby
Apologize for me baby, tell a couple of lies for me baby
Kiss the kids for me baby, kiss the kids for me baby
Tell them daddy sais hey, tell them daddy sais hey'


8.Lying Lips (Words I Should Have Said)

He laid all his cliches on the table before me
Told me how much he really loved and adored me
And there's no other girl in the world who could make him feel
like this
Such beautiful lying lips

He played all the right songs all night long just to sway me
And made it clear he didn't just wanna lay me
And he's been married but it's not working out so pretty soon
they're gonna split
What beautiful lying lips

Go to hell
Don't pass, go, you dont collect
Go to hell
You better learn to have a little respect
Go to hell
I put a curse on your wondering dick
Go to hell
Or back to your wife, wich ever you pick
Go to hell
I'll bet she's waiting for you to come home
Go to hell
I'll bet you can't let me answer your phone
Go to hell
There's really nothing here for you to get
Go to hell
I'm only lonely not desperat

These are the words I should have said
But instead i let him take me on a trip
With those beautiful lying lips

And as he walked away reality filled me
I knew that very day my conscience would kill me
But so much time had passed sense i last had a chance to kiss
Such beautiful lying lips

He made all the wrong moves
He needed to win me
Appeal to every little deamon within me
He semed to sensual to this lonely girl
Said everything i missed

Go to hell
Don't pass, go, you dont collect
Go to hell
You better learn to have a little respect
Go to hell
I put a curse on your wondering dick
Go to hell
Or back to your wife, wich ever you pick
Go to hell
I'll bet she's waiting for you to come home
Go to hell
I'll bet you can't let me answer your phone
Go to hell
There's really nothing here for you to get
Go to hell
I'm only lonely not desperat

These are the words I should have said
But instead i let him take me on a trip
Such beautiful lying lips

These are the words I should have said
But instead i let him take me on a trip
With those beautiful lying lips

10.Tonight

Lyricist:Emil J Gotthard, Tanya Stephens

Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up
Wondering why the hell I did this
Tomorrow I'm gonna make up
Stories 'bout how somebody spiked my drink

Tomorrow when the rumors fly
I'm gonna build me an alibi
Tomorrow when the stories spread
I'll be wishing we were still in bed

Just hold me for the moment
When the morning comes we'll figure where to go then
People are gonna talk, you know them
Don't have to stay together just to show them

We know they're gonna say we're wild
But we remember what we did and smile
Who cares what tomorrow will bring
Baby, I'm putting every thing in

Tonight, I wanna lay right here beside you
Tonight, I wanna put my arms around you
And hold you tight
'Cause baby, all that really matters is tonight
Baby, all that really matters is tonight

I see lovers shattered
Bruised and broke and battered
For better or for worse
Some people only get the latter

I see people making alibis
They hurt each other with their lies
But tomorrow when we walk away
There'll be nothing left to say

Tomorrow for certain
We know that this would have to end
And when we drop the curtains
At least we know we're gonna still be friends

And maybe if the time is right
Or some other lonely night
We'll remember all the passion we had
Remember what we needed so bad

Tonight, I wanna lay right here beside you
Tonight, I wanna put my arms around you
And hold you tight
'Cause baby, all that really matters is tonight
Baby, all that really matters is tonight

Tomorrow who knows where we'll be
I'm taking this time just for me
I'm throwing caution to the wind
I'm giving up every little thing

I, I don't know what the future holds
Maybe we'll take separate roads tomorrow
Tomorrow

But tonight, I wanna lay right here beside you
Tonight, I wanna put my arms around you
And hold you tight
'Cause baby, all that really matters is tonight
Baby, all that really matters is tonight


11.I Am Woman

Lyricist:Ray Burton, Helen Reddy

I am woman here me roar and I'm much too big to ignore
And I know to much to go back everyday
'Cause I heard it all before and I've been down there on the
floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again, ohh

Yes, I am wise but it is wisdom for the pain
Yes, I paid the price by look, how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything, I am strong
I am invincible, I am woman

Well, a feet that fits so comfortably on your shoulder
Are the same one's that's gonna stand my ground, yeah
When all the muscle that you're buildin'
You must be strong enough to lift your standard
Make we wanna hang around, yeah

Oh, baby tell me what this is beyond the hugs and kisses
Why you gotta turn my smile upside down, yeah?
You use to say the amount of blessings
Now you say I P.M. sing
So I guess there ain't no point hangin' 'round, yeah

Well, I don't want to be no guy
Just want to be appreciated by the eye
Don't believe the packages influence, the contents
Kang a kanga me no lack off common sense
Weh me say, I don't want to be no guy

Just want to be respected by the eye
Don't let the style of the shadow lick redemption
Medress code no diminish meh potential
Weh me say, yo check it

And feel guilty how me vex when the man probably dead

So me pick up my phone and start call up me friends
Jump inna me car and go circle some ends

13.Can't Breathe

Lyricist:D Dennis, M Miller, V Stephenson

I guess I'm expected to say 'God bless you'
But you left me, me never left you
And what me do right now, me can't even say F you
But me can say this though

I hope you can't live without me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get your mind to stop thinking about me
Can't eat can't sleep, can't breathe

I hope you whine up lonely
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Then you are gon' wish you coulda still come hold me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe

I bet you think I'm supposed to smile, put the best outside
Put on an act to protect my pride
You want me to take it like a man, but I'm a girl who cries
So if I puncture your tires, don't be too surprised

And while I'm at it, hell, I may as well key up your car
'Cause what you did to my heart that's an act of war
Well every step you take I'll be one step behind
Won't let you get me out of your mind

I hope you can't live without me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get your mind to stop thinking about me
Can't eat can't sleep, can't breathe

I hope you whine up lonely
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Then you are gon' wish you coulda still come hold me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe

I should allowed to be bitter 'cause it's only fair
I'm falling apart, but you don't care
Why is she so happy? Why do you smile?
And why aren't you guys fighting all the while like we did?

I know it must be a charade, God please send me a shower
To rain on their parade, I hope she's cheating juggling nuts
like a squirrel
Better yet I hope she leaves you for a girl
'Cause you can't live without me

I hope you can't live without me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get your mind to stop thinking about me
Can't eat can't sleep, can't breathe

I hope you whine up lonely
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Then you are gon' wish you coulda still come hold me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe

Yo, both you know want go get married and you would love me to
be there
I woulda tell you somethings, but them not fit for the ears
Usually me woulda say goodbye and I wish you well
But not to you, I hope your life turns out to be hell

Bet you think I want you to die but no, I want you to live
And suffer and cry like I did
I'm just keepin' it real
I just so me feel

I hope you can't live without me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get your mind to stop thinking about me
Can't eat can't sleep, can't breathe

I hope you whine up lonely
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Then you are gon' wish you coulda still come hold me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe

What me say, yo, she can't cook like me, can't jook like me
No, and I know you in and out like a book like me
She no full a style like me, can't make you smile like me
And she can never bear beautiful child like me

She no tight like me, no fling it up right like me
And if me buck her one her way she can't fight like me
You done know, me say ah just so it go

I hope you can't live without me
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get your mind to stop thinking about me
Can't eat can't sleep, can't breathe

I hope you whine up lonely
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe


14.It's A Pity

Lyricist:Pierre Baigorry, Jerome Bugnon, Vivienne Stephenson, Leander
Topp

I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, Tanya loves ya, wha me seh?

It's a pity, you already have a wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I say, it is a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I woulda like one of these mornings to wake up and find
Your face on a pillow lying right next to mine
I woulda cut out the partying and the smoking and the rum
And buss a extra wine and make we seal up a son

Well, every time mi fantasize, me see your lips, me see your
eyes
Your trigger finger do something a lef the rude girl hypnotized
For you it's just a thing, just another little fling
But for me this is Heaven and the angel them a sing

It's a pity, you already have a wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it's such a pity, yo

I say, it is such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

Fi buck you up inna public and can't even touch
It really fuck me up because me check fi you so much
The respect weh mi have fi your woman, fi your kids
Believe me rude boy mi criss, a nuh matey this

Who knows? Maybe one day the world will be evolved enough
We'll share you in a civilized manner between the two of us
But until then I woulda love see you again
Me know we have fi play it by the stupid rules of sin

I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, Tanya loves ya, wha me seh?

So meet me round the corner, avoid Mitzy and Lorna
You know them a two of the biggest informer
I'm not starving for sex no, nah bawl out vex no
But the way how yuh flex really beat my interest yo

Ayou weh people see a no the you fa me loving
And the you weh deh with me go much deeper than skin
I don't know exactly what it is you're feeling
But I wish this was a permanent thing, yo

It's such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me done have a man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

I say, it is such a pity, you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
Rude boy, it is a pity

Me know seh you belong to she
You know seh me belong to him
Me wouldn't want you dis your queen
Me woulda never dis mi king

But when yuh play pon mi riddim
And when me feel your base a swing
You lef me inna turmoil, you have me head a spin

It really mek me sad fi haffi waste so much water
I think the two o' we can mek a beautiful daughter
But it would be selfish to an innocent little youth
Fi bring her come and cannot tell her the truth
Tell her the truth

I said, go with Jah, I will always love you
I said, if we never get a chance to be together
Go with Jah, remember Tanya loves ya


15.Little White Lie

Lyricist:Andrew Henton, Vivienne Stephenson

Once upon a time there was a happy family
There was a baby girl, a daddy and there was a mommy
Mommy had a secret, she told a little white lie
When she tucked the baby in at night, she sang her this lullaby

You got your daddy's smile, you got his eyes
I feel my heart breaking every time you cry
I'm gonna burn in hell but it's no sacrifice
Your stability is worth a million lies

I see your daddy in everything you do
And if you could talk, I'll bet you'll talk like him too
But he can't be your daddy, I hope you understand
The man who thinks he's your father is a much better man

Maybe one day, you'll end up crying on Rikki Lake
But baby it's a chance your momma's willing to take
'Cause I love you even if my heart is gonna break
Ain't no reason you should suffer for my mistake

And so I lie and baby I try and it kills me inside, yeah
But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die
And I hurt, baby, oh, how I hurt
But I know what you're worth, yeah
So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt, someday

And everyday by herself the momma cried and cried
But at night she smiled when the daddy was by her side
There were times she almost told him and it really broke her
heart
But she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her
apart

Now I can't sleep at night, I've lost my appetite
Everybody keeps saying, 'The baby looks kind of light'
And I tell them, 'Every newborn baby looks the same'
While I'm praying to God, please make your color change

And the emotions on his face when he's looking at you
I couldn't tell him, he ain't your papa if I wanted to
He's got your picture tattooed on his arm
Now he's bragging to his friends about his firstborn

Oh God and I love him, really I do
If he ever found out it would kill me too
Now I'm caught between a rock and a really hard place
I'd give anything to keep that smile on his face

So I lie, baby I try and it kills me inside, yeah
But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die
And I hurt, baby, oh, how I hurt
But I know what you're worth, yeah
So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt, someday

Mommy kept the family together the best way she could
'Cause she knew in this case the truth would do more harm than
good
What daddy didn't know, didn't hurt him, he had no cause to fret
And that's as close to happily ever after as anyone can get

Oh how I try, and it kills me inside
But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die
And I hurt, baby, oh, how I hurt
But I know what you're worth, yeah
So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt, someday

17.Sound of My Tears

Lyricist:C Dodd, Vivienne Stephenson

Any people who don't spend enuff to provide for the poor
You won't be able to spend enuff to protect the rich
Think poverty a poor people problem?
Think again how much people problem

How can I be good?
When it is so much cheaper to be bad
How can I survive when the chances I don't have?
Me have to hustle

How can I promise me a go change
When me legal life is above my price range, me have hustle?
The law forbin' me to carry a gun but my enemies have one
Me na gone run now me have to buss it

They want me to call the police
But me a dem already in some serious beef me now gone trust it
We use to be the best of friends
But politcs a cause the whole a we face for bend me can take it

This one bag a orange turn green
And the whole a we a play for the same fucking team
That now gone make rude bowy not no make

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a the sound of my tears)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Most time they fall from there peers)

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a sound of your pain)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Let it rain)

How can you judge they way how me live?
When you don't provide me with no good alternative me a have to
juggle
The way tings a run me can't take it no more
I rather to be dead then poor me nah gone struggle

Can't afford to buy my son a slice a bun
How me gone convince him to drop the gun
He nah gone listen
You think him gone follow good advice from what him

Got over the phone from his father who's still in a prison
And all who a love the ghetto the youths pon TV
And come a streets and hype up dem way me have to let go

And all who a say a solider couldn't last a day
In a hour postion dem for let go yah rude bowy
Don't make them stress you ma have a turn over this
Yeah, and tell them Tanya said so

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a the sound of my tears)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Most time they fall from there peers)

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a sound of your pain)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Let it rain)

Yo acknowledgment is the first step to all the solution
But everybody a act like they a not part a the problem
And the minute the youth a really get out of the slam
Is like there mind completely out of the slam
Soon they want everybody start call them big man and boss
And the only time they go back to the hood
Is when the want floss sorry

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a the sound of my tears)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Most time they fall from there peers)

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(This a sound of your pain)
Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o
(Let it rain)


18.This Is Love

Lyricist:Emil Gotthard, Tanya Stephens

Mi say, sometimes we say so much
That all the words just lose their touch
And what we mean to say never gets in anyway
Before we go too far, before I lose myself
I better say, I never loved nobody else

We been fighting for all the wrong stuff
We better fight to stay in love
We better fight to stay in love, yo
I hear you girl

Yeah, sometimes she say things I just can't dislike
You know, I'm a man, I gotta defend my pride
I wanna to pull her close and hold her through the night
But when I open up my mouth, yeah
The wrong words just come out, yeah

Baby girl, we been fighting for the wrong stuff
If we gonna fight, we should fight to stay in love

This is love, nobody ever hurt me so bad, yeah
This is love though you get on my nerves
This is love, you're my man and I'm your girl
This is love that makes me know you're the only one in my world

L O V E, yeah, Y O U, you don't know say mi luv you too
Next time before you slam the door
And go out for a walk, baby can't you listen?
Can't you listen when I talk?

And if ever you should cry and feel so insecure
I'm a dry your eyes 'cause you worth so much more, yeah
We been fighting for all the wrong stuff
We better fight to stay in love
We better fight to stay in love, yo

Mi say, enough people love it
Them go watch the argument
Now see how much closer we get
'Cuz we a ride out di storm together
Mi a reside inna your arms forever

'Cuz we a ride out di storm together
Mi a reside inna your arms forever

We been fighting for all the wrong stuff
We better fight to stay in love
We better fight to stay in love, yo

This is love, nobody ever hurt me so bad, yeah
This is love though you get on my nerves
This is love, you're my man and I'm your girl
This is love that makes me know you're the only one in my world

This is love, nobody ever hurt me so bad
This is love, so you get on my nerves
This is love, yeah, you're my man and I'm your girl
This is love that makes me know you're the only one in my world

This is love, nobody ever hurt me so bad


19.Way Back

Lyricist:Andrew Henton, Vivienne Stephenson

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to invite you on a journey
I sincerely hope you are in a mood to travel right now
'Cause we're going back in time
Are you ready?

I wanna take you way back
To when a girl on a mike's worth
Wasn't determined by the length of her skirt
I mean way back to creativity before MTV, before BET

I mean way back before recycling shit
When the props that you got was for your writing and shit
Let's rewind before the hype when you used to be low key
To be a singer you had to actually know key

I mean way back to before people made a job
Of seeing who's best at impersonating Bob
I mean way back to when you sweat blood on every line
To get one good song didn't cost sixteen ninety nine

To be considered deep you had to actually say stuff
And if it wasn't good, disc jockeys didn't play stuff
I mean way way, Marvin Gaye way back and I pray that you will

Come with me, let us journey past this melody
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take me to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind

Come with me, let us journey past this fallacy
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take you to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind

Well, it's ironic that the chronic that I smoke
Got me singing shit that's bionic every note
That it's affecting my judgment is what some people would hope
But I'm not tripping, I'm on a journey, come along now let's
float

I used to be excited going to the record store
But these days I stay pacing the floor
Somebody please take me back to when the artistes were poor
'Cause when they made less they gave us so much more

Let's take it back to a ballroom, cloudy microphone
Smokey Robinson, Nina Simone
James Brown was still occupying the throne
When the songs weren't sold off videos alone

Way back to when a star attitude wasn't defined
By somebody being rude
To when it was a pleasure definitely not a task
To greet a fan with a smile and sign a damn autograph

I mean way back to before you used to drive the Maybach
You dreamt about a mil but never made that
When you made some shit that we could play back

I mean way back to a whole â~nother time
Further back than your granddad's hairline
I mean way back, won't you say that you will

Come with me, let us journey past this melody
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take me to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind

Come with me, let us journey past this fallacy
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take you to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind

And it came to pass in the glorious days of charts
That the music hailed and we danced to it
And threw a party but in our hearts we knew the musicians failed

And then came along brothers, Napster and Aimster
And though they were definitely wrong I think it's worse
To be forced to buy a whole bullshit album
Just to get that one good song , can I get an Amen

Come with me, let us journey past this melody
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take it to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind

Come with me, let us journey past this fallacy
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take it to another place, another time, better hooks, better
rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind


20.What A Day

Lyricist:M Chin, Vivienne Stephenson

Oh, what a day, oh
Oh, what a day, oh
Day, what a day, what a day, oh, oh

I'm tired of the hunger I see on people's faces
Tired of the animosity between the races
Tired of corruption in high and low places
And pricks with money but no social graces

Tired of being judged for the style in my hair
And the music that I listen and the clothes that I wear
I'm tired of life and death being sold as a pair
And politicians who keep saying they care but

Maybe hoping for a change is a dream
Maybe life ain't as bad as it seems
But if dreaming is the best I can do
Then I'll be dreaming my whole life through

Oh, what a day when war becomes a thing of the past
And peace, we will have it at last
And life is finally worth its cost
And woah, woah, oh

What a day when men finally live what they teach
And love ain't just a concept we preach
And blood no longer runs in the streets
Woah, woah, woah, oh, what a day

Tired of leaving church, feeling like I've just been robbed
Two hours of rambling, not much mention of God
The richest man's the only one who does not have a job
A bunch of righteous freaks extorting worse than the mob, y'all

Tired of baby, momma, tired of baby, daddy
Chilling in the spot where the parents should be
Teenage mother saying, 'Leave my babies alone'
In 20 years the kid could be robbing my home but

I got a vision of a whole other plain
Where the spiritual can flourish again
I'm just awaiting for the fire to rain
Burn dung everything and start clean

What a day when war becomes a thing of the past
And peace, we will have it at last
And life is finally worth its cost
And woah, woah, oh

Oh, what a day when men finally live what they teach
And love ain't just a concept we preach
And blood no longer runs in the streets
And woah, woah, woah, oh, what a day

Ooh, what a day
Oh, what a day
Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day

Maybe hoping for a change is a dream
Maybe life ain't as bad as it seems
But if dreaming is the best I can do
Then I'll be dreaming my whole life through

Oh, what a day when war becomes a thing of the past
And peace, we will have it at last
And life is finally worth its cost
And woah, woah, woah


21.Damn

Lyricist:Vivienne Stephenson

Started of with dinner at a fancy new place
Suckling dishes, mmm, tickle my taste
Took me to quaintest romantic little bar
Perfect gentleman treated me like a star

We talked about everything from politics to cartoons
He loves reading just like I do
From Sidney Sheldon to Mills and Boon
We danced a bit then talked some more
It was a refreshing change to be with a man and feel this good

Unheard of, he must be absolutely insane
Encouraged me to talk, allowed me to use my brain
He not keep looking at my ass or tits
Instead spent the evening sharpening my wits

He asked for my opinion, he admitted when I was right
A rare combination, handsome and bright
We walked to his car, he opened my door, shit
No guy ever did that for me before

We cruised to my place holding hands the whole ride
And naturally I had to invite him inside
We had a drink to celebrate a successful evening
I swear I felt the earth shake when we kissed

He was kissing my forehead, my nose
While I fought desperately to get out of my clothes
We made it to the bed, I gently took his member
A delightful representation of the masculine gender

I bided myself and guided it home
And doggy then happily buried the bone
Then shuttered, bucked, roll off and sighed
(Aww)
Happy, content, puffed up with pride

Didn't uttered a word, made not even a sound
Just left me up hanging no means to get down
I said congratulations and gave him a pat
You've set a new record 10 seconds flat

He didn't seem to hear me just lay there in a heap
He snores over 20, falling asleep, damn

23.The Other Cheek

The people dem seh dem a talk
And nobody nah listen all along
So dem want me to put it in the form of a song
Cause is like seh, oonu betray we trust
So this is to all of you from all of us

Providing no jobs and telling us stop the crime
Is like beating a child and telling him not to cry
With all the highways you a build and go through
You never build a little avenue Fi di youths dem earn a buck

Things a run a muck, tell me what the fuk?
You really think a go happen
If dem enuh earn a buck gun a buss and none of us
Really want that shit to happen

You mistah, you know me nah try fi dis ya
But everything no so criss ya
We just a look, a little help prime ministah

Do you expect me to turn the other cheek
Taste my tears and admit defeat?
Do you expect me to listen when you speak?
You never ever practice what you prech

Do you expect me to still come out and vote?
No matter what happens, we're always broke
And the people seh dem tired of being poor
A that the empress a chant and the lion a roar

Even the richest man haffi go learn fi tek a stance when
Them realize seh dem no safe inna dem mansion
Is a tough way fi learn seh yuh, no really secure
When the problems of the poor, come kick dung yuh door

The youths dem a get two thousand guns
Fi everyone oonu cease instead of treating the symptoms
Why don't you cure the disease?
You know things must really get wicked

When your paycheck is less
Than your speeding ticket
Mistah, you know we nah try fi dis ya
But everything no so criss sah
We just a beg a little help prime ministah

Do you expect me to turn the other cheek
Taste my tears and admit defeat?
Do you expect me to listen when you speak?
You never ever practice what you prech?

Do you expect me to still come out and vote?
No matter what happens, we're always broke
And the people seh dem tired of being poor
A that the empress a chant and the lion a roar

Well, we say, money fi run and it fi run inna bundle
Let it go a rema, let it go dung a jungle
Dung a garden need fi water right down to the dirt
When last you touch a maverlywhen last you go Kirk

Oonu better fire up the oven, oonu need fi start bake
And the brook valley man dem need a slice a di cake
Well, the man dem outa east dem ready fi put down the gun
A nuh war dem love war but the food haffi run

Well, white hall and Red Hills road
You know dem have a little message fi disclosed
It goes like dis, mistah, yuh ego big
Yuh mighta think we a dis ya
But everything no so criss sah
We jus a look a little help Prime Ministah

Do you expect me to turn the other cheek
Taste my tears and admit defeat?
Do you expect me to listen when you speak?
You never ever practice what you prech

Do you expect me to still come out and vote?
No matter what happens were always broke
And the people seh dem tired of being poor
A that the empress a chant and the lion a roar

2) True mi nuh waa fall asleep mi start to make noise,
You gaan tell you friends them how get get prize,
A wonder when you a go wake up and realize,
Say you need fi work pan you size.
Gal mi tired and mi fed up of your false statements.

You kick down door tear down the back fence.
Make you all a speak whole heap a accent.
You say take time, mi nuh got nuh conscience,
Cause mi know the work and mi do it excellent,
Natural as mi born, nuh under nuh influence, swell

Bwaay a dozen wreath fi the other head.

Back them up jack them knock the outta them shell.
