2.It's Getting Hectic

Lyricist:S Bartholomew, K Elam, Jan Kincaid, A Levy

I set if off by letting you know that I can flow to many beats
Similar to flu so freely
And you could say, I'm getting kind of greedy
But so what 'cause I'm supplying the needy

Well some MC's go for there it be I buried the
Remain of the other 'cause they suck incredibly
Superficial styles only last a little while
But they'll never hold a candle to the Gangstarr profile

More than just wit' and more than just intellect
And more than a gangster 'cause I kill wit a mic check
And I'm no the one wit the H on his back meaning the herb
I like the funky beats, I like the cur

Most likely in a blunt as I roll it really steady
Then I get mentally ready
And play a track from the Heavies and mellow out
'Cause my main objective is to be more effective

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

And when the mic stands free, I then step to the
Point of attack 'cause the track feels good to me
And I intend to break ya out of your restraints
'Cause you gain interest in my lines like I'm City Bank

And thanks to the Brand New Heavies and everyone
Who can dig the movement of the Guru, smooth and
Proving that I'm the relevent, eloquent one
Suckers getting whoopings like they're all my sons

Remembering rap from the days of it's origin
The power of many men ascend from my pen
Dissing the ones wit the fame and claiming they're hard
Yo, them, I disregard

'Cause they ain't all cracked up to what they should be
Some like are wannabees and some like are wouldbees
And I'm getting vexed by the crap they project
They put in on wax and all their records still racks

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

Rearranging the script is my worst shift gear in a flash
Putting cash in a stash, ain't nuttin' funny, money
Much greater gifts, I receive, are those who are blessed
And me, I got a treasure chest

By all means protected at all times
You try to front and you'll pay more than a small fine
I don't brag about the stuff I did
I simply roll correctly, demolishing stupid kids

And they're running off wit' the lip and not accomplishing zip
I tell 'em, wake up son 'cause this is it
Peep out the suckers who are faking
Flaking moves on the mic and in life

Strife is what I give them 'cause I'm living how I should be
And you better move 'cause the groove is like deadly
And no, you ain't all that and many ain't legit
So I'm a put a mark for they get bust

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

It's getting hectic, it's getting crazy
It's getting hectic, it's getting wild

Yo Gangstarr, 1991 into 92 and beyond
Lounging wit' the Brand New Heavies
DJ Premier and the Guru from Brooklyn
Peace out


3.Day Break

Lyricist:Simon James Bartholomew, N Dea Davenport, Jan Kincaid, Andrew
Levy

Oh oh oh
In this life we go through lots of hard times
And we say, â½Who knows what the day will bringâ
We learn to survive 'cause that's the only way

It's kinda nice to talk about the good times
Like the feelin' we all know when the summer comes
That's the reason we all know we are as one

Yesterday is over let's live for today
Good mornin' to the blue skies, goodbye to the grey
So come into the sunshine, step out of the rain
A new day is arising at daybreak

Everybody together, people come into our world
People, everybody together
People come into our world

I think it's time to have a celebration
It is time to find another way
To keep movin' on toward a better day, yeah

Yesterday is over let's live for today
Good mornin' to the blue skies, goodbye to the grey
So come into the sunshine, step out of the rain
A new way is arising at daybreak

People, everybody together, people come into the world
People, everybody together, people come into our world
Our world, our world, people come into our world

At daybreak we can live, we can love
Come on people, we can get it on
We can live together, let's come together
We can live together, let's come together

We can live together, let's come together
Together at daybreak
Come together
We can live together, let's come together
Together at daybreak
Come together

We can live together, let's come together
Together at daybreak
Come together
We can live together, let's come together
Together at daybreak
Come together


4.Spend Some Time

Lyricist:Angie Cheung, Andrew Levy

I had a picture of you in my head
It kept me warm when you were not there
You can make me laugh make me feel like
A child to see your smile made everything worthwhile

I feel a glow when you are near
All of my doubt just disappear
But baby nothing stays the same
It's such a shame

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up let's just give it up

So now you play trick with my mind
I am gonna leave your loving all behind
You were my joy you were my pain
Something is lost when something is gained

Don't worry baby I'll be fine
I'll grow tired of you wasting my time
Don't bother pleading or trying to stop me
It's too late now I've just got to be free

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up let's just give it up

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up let's just give it up

Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up let's just give it up

Baby just give it up
I've just had enough
Give it up boy, give it up
I've just had enough

Baby just give it up I've just had enough
Give it up boy, give it up I've just had enough
Baby just give it up I've just had enough
Give it up boy, give it up I've just had enough


5.Fake

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, N Dea Davenport, N'dea Davenport, Jan
Kincaid, Andrew Levy

Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a
Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a

Thought you had me 'round your finger
(Fake, fake, fake)
(Why you such a)
Now my phone's off the receiver
(Fake, fake, fake)

Apparently, you don't know or do care to
Comprehend just what I'm saying
You made me worship you from head to toe
You're flaky with my heart, so now I'm leavin', I'm leavin'

You really had me going, baby
Come on, give me a break
You really had me going, baby
How come you're such a fake?

Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a
Fake, fake, fake

Yeah, you took me high
And made my heart go 'round and 'round
You gave me fever
But lately I've been seekin' deeper meanings
And vibrations with another, another

You really had me going, baby
Come on, give me a break
You really had me going, baby
How come you're such a fake?

Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a
Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a

Thought you had me 'round your finger
(Fake, fake, fake)
(Why you such a)
Now my phone's off the receiver
(Fake, fake, fake)

Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a
Fake, fake, fake
Why you such a

Thought you had me 'round your finger
(Fake, fake, fake)
(Why you such a)
Now my phone's off the receiver
(Fake, fake, fake)

Why you such a
Fake, fake, fake
Fake, fake, fake
Fake, fake, fake
Fake, fake, fake


6.Dream On Dreamer

Lyricist:Dallas Austin, N'dea Davenport

Dream on dreamer life gets in your way

There you go, day and night
Up in the clouds, flying so high
You try your best to stretch your mind
Beyond reality and sense and rhyme

And you see things that make your big heart sing
Like the flowers, trees and birds and pretty things
Hate to put your two feet on the ground
You like to step aside then you release yourself and fly

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinnin' top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn, you'll be lucky one day

Now the paisley pages of your mind
Are so complete like seein' colors black and white
Do you realize that you look so spaced out
You've made your peace with the need to be free without a doubt

Yeah, I frown 'cause somethin' don't look right
It's the twinkly twinkle star that's in your eyes
Hate to put your two feet on the ground
So go ahead and step aside and release yourself and fly

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinnin' top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn, you'll be lucky one day

You kow you gotta dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinnin' top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn, you'll be lucky one day

Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinnin' top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn, you'll be lucky one day

You know you gotta dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinnin' top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn, you'll be lucky one day

Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over

(Over, over)
Dream on dreamer
(Over and over)
Dream on dreamer
(Over, over, over and over)

(Over, over, over and over)
Dream on dreamer
(Over, over, over and over)
Dream on dreamer


7.After Forever

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid, Dennis Lambert

Here we are, it's the perfect time
I'll do anything that'll ease your mind let's start with this
I should've told you twice a day
That I'm crazy about your sexy ways so here it is, here it is
now baby

After forever
That's when my heart won't find it's way to you, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when my night won't turn to day with you, oh, baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

Tell me how did you ever doubt
That it's you I just can't live without, must I explain?
I can't go more than an hour, you know
Without hearing your voice on the telephone
Say my name, baby you're to blame

After forever
I won't be waiting here when you get home, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when I'll leave you, girl, to be alone, oh baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

After forever
That's when my heart won't find it's way to you, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when my night won't turn to day with you, oh baby

After forever
I won't be waiting here when you get home, oh no, woah
After forever
That's when I'll leave you girl, to be alone, oh baby

The starts won't shine and the moon won't glow
When the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay, baby

And the stars won't shine and the moon won't glow
And the birds won't sing and the wind won't blow
That's when I'll be gone, that'll be the day
'Cause I'm down with you and I'm here to stay
Hear to stay baby now


8.Brother Sister (The Angel Remix)

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, N'dea Davenport, Jan Kincaid, Andrew Levy

Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister
Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister

Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen

Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours

So you stand up be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move

In my head those words remind me
What Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold on to your faith, don't be scared go out
there

Just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Don't be scared go out there, just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

So you stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own


9.People Giving Love

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, Andrew Levy

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive

I wonder why we seldom try
To tell the truth but we welcome lies
Every sister and brother knows
What is wrong and what is right

Everyone under the sun
Must live in this big world
Hand in hand we'll save the land
For all our boys and girls

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive

Tell me how do you feel inside
Do you let love come alive
See just how happy we could be
Livin' peacefully in harmony

Everyone under the sun
Must live in this big world
Hand in hand we'll save the land
For all our boys and girls

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive

People are we givin' love
Love all the time
People are we givin' love
We need to survive

People are we, we givin' love
People are we, we gettin' love
People are we, we givin' love
People are we, we gettin' love

People are we, we givin' love
People are we, we gettin' love
People are we, we givin' love
People are we, we gettin' love


10.Wake Me When I'm Dead

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, Duvall Clear, Jan Kincaid, Andrew Levy

Oh, what a night, yo, that I just been through
I barely made it home from this hip-hop venue
These two guys, no three guys, no four, yo, this posse
Try to fake a move and bum rush me like a Nazi

Underground club where the kids are like rolling
I almost got an avalance dropped on my shoulders
'Cause I writes the fat raps and kids memorize 'em
I tries 'em, this freestyle and boy, did I surprise 'em

They said, 'Yo, that's too hype, yo, who's he think he is?'
He's supposed to be commercial like that song about the biz
The kid said 'Masta Ace, yo, what's the deal wit the switching?'
He's bitching, didn't like the rap I was pitching

You see, he was a rapper wit a single about to drop
His record label told him that he had to make it pop
Take it from me, Jack, you're sadly mistaken
A lot of record labels been trying to get the bacon

By making a brother into something he is not
And you're better off and farming on a farm picking cotton
They mold ya and shape ya, they bend and they twist ya
They get paid like quick fast and that's when they dish ya

So homeboy, you're better off coming from the heart
And letting the kids put your record on the chart
You must use your head and forget what they said
'Cause in about a year, you'll be like, 'Wake me when I'm dead'

(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies

If this was an opera, I'll probably say, 'Figaro'
Black kid from Brooklyn but don't call me nigga though
I rocks the jams for the young population
I wonder, I wonder, can I change the nation?

It's futile, so I try, yes, hoping, yeah, maybe
But I can't sit home and write, 'Ice, Ice Baby'
'Cause if it comes down to, I must have a pocket
I go get a day job and rapping, I'll stop it

I'm never going out, so, yo, firm I am, standing
'Cause my jams are fat like a cop named Canon
My rap is for the mind, it's nutritious
My word is final, the final is delicious

So face it as if it was a hot fudge sundae
Or I'll come get mine, I guess maybe one day
I gotta work hard and must use my head
You'll never hit the point, I'm saying, 'Wake me when I'm dead'

(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies

(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies

Wake me when I'm dead, hey yo, wake me when I'm dead
This life is like a nightmare, I'm gonna lose my head
So I make the jam that'll make me feel better
I hear a lot of groups that come cheesier than cheddar

But this jam is well built like '57 Chevies
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
So weigh this on ya underground scaling
We be prevailing while others be failing

I'm hailing from Brooklyn and I strive for the ends
But I don't need a Beamer and I don't need a Benz
Still I get respect for the style I'll be choosing
Rapping to the soul kind of jazz like confusion

I'm cruising not for a bruising but I'll break up
Anything that's broiling like an LA Laker
So I rocks the West Coast as well as the city, yo
I got crazy flavor like a PE video

Plus I got a lot of um, skill and that's word doc
With battle, who me, G? You're crazier than Murdoch
Instead of confronting, you oughta be checking
The time 'cause it's wasting, second after second

You're so busy ripping and daring kids to shoot ya
According to the Jetsons, there's no blacks in the future
You better wake up before you're in over your head
Tomorrow, you'll be screaming, 'Wake me when I'm dead'

(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)
The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies

(Wake up)
The Masta, the Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)
The Masta, the Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the Heavies
(Wake up)


11.Wake Me When I'm Dead Featuring Masta Ace

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, Duvall Clear, Jan Kincaid, Andrew Levy

12.Crying Water

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, Siedah Garrett

You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water

My car's outside
But before I go I'd like to say
What's on my mind and why
You got to know I just can't stay

If it's true what they say
'Bout your good thing going away

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water

Now you know you're wrong
But it's much too late to make it right
It won't be long
Before you understand this is goodbye

'Cause it's true what they say
'Bout your good thing goin' away

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

And like a dying man without a drop to drink
On the desert sand in the burning heat
He thinks of all the days when his thirst was quenched
Now he prays for shade and just pretends

'Cause it's true what they say
'Bout your good thing goin' away

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water

You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water

You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
You'll be crying water water
You'll be crying water
...


13.Midnight at the Oasis

Lyricist:David Nichtern

Midnight at the oasis, sing your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces, traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon, kick up a little dust

Come on, Cactus is our friend, he'll walk down the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends, till the evenin' ends
You don't have to answer, there's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer and you could be my sheik

But you won't need no harem, honey when I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no when I take you for a ride

Come on, Cactus is our friend, he'll walk down the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends, till the evenin' ends

Midnight at the oasis, sing your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces, traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon, kick up a little dust

Oh midnight, midnight at the oasis, midnight at the oasis
Midnight at the oasis, midnight at the oasis
Midnight at the oasis, midnight at the oasis


14.Forever

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid

Forever, I will love you forever
Forever, I will love you forever, yeah
Forever, I will love you forever
Forever, yeah baby, I will love you forever

People come and people go
Acting happy just for show
Think they do but they don't know
What it is to see love grow

Living life so all alone
Hiding feelings better shown
Nothing better could I own
Than what I have with you

Forever, I will love you forever
Forever, yeah baby, I will love you forever

Far and wide I looked for you
Many nights just feeling blue
You told me that you felt it too
Before you came my way

Now I have you by my side
Nothing left for me to hide
Set to face the coming tide
What the future brings

Forever, I will love you forever
Forever, yeah baby, I will love you forever

Forever
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)
I will love you forever
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)

Forever
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)
I will love you forever
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)

Oh oh
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)
My baby
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)

Life goes on and on and on
People come and people go
And I want your love
I need your sweet love
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby, right now)
I need it twenty four seven, three sixty five days a year

Baby
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby right now)
I'm goin' get you
(Need you baby, need you baby, I need you baby right now)

Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever


15.Last to Know

Lyricist:Simon Bertholew, Evan A. Rogers, Carl Allen Sturken

Do you have a minute
I've got something on my mind
I'm gonna make it clear now
Let me lay it on the line

You're giving me the runaround
It's honesty you lack
The time has come to hear me out
And recognize the fact

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Just the other night
I overheard you on the phone
Whispering sweet nothings
Guess you thought you were alone

Well, you might think that I am blind
But hear me when I say
I can see right through you
And your double talkin' ways

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

After all that we've been through
I can't believe you'd be untrue
Still you're telling me our love will grow
Well, you better let it show

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay


16.Stay This Way

Lyricist:Jim Wellman

Living with you in my life
Is like feeling the whole world's on my side
Putting a smile in the place
Where a tear used to run down my face

Feeling the sun on my head
Where a cloud used to follow instead
Singing a song in my heart
In a place where all my troubles depart

If our dreams are falling down to the ground
Let them fly
Let the rain keep falling down
'Cause baby I'm high

Now it will fly
Now that we're together
Love is so high
Stay this way forever

With you in my life
Is like feeling the whole world's on my side
Putting a smile in the place
Where a tear used to run down my face

If our dreams are falling down to the ground
Let them fly
Let the rain keep falling down
'Cause baby I'm high

Now it will fly
Now that we're together
Love is so high
Stay this way forever

Our love, yeah yeah

Love will be here forever
I know that we'll stay together
Our love will be here forever

17.Back to Love

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah

It seems to me that we don't always get along
If we are trying now, don't seem to try too long
Watching your neighbor seems to fill you with alarm
Just 'coz he's different now, don't mean he means you harm

City living got us all pent up inside
When we have problems it seems we all just run and hide
Time to discover why we are feeling this way
Let's let love have its say

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back, get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back to love

Trouble started when we don't communicate
We'll build our future now or we can seal our fate
Wasted energy on promises we break
We've wasted chances now but still it ain't too late

There is a common goal we must all realize
It's time to make a change in how we live our lives
Time to discover why we are feeling this way
Let's let love save the day

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back, get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay
Gotta get back, get back to love

I know you need it
Brother said he needs it
Sister said she needs it
We're all gonna need it someday

We seem to lose our way
Somehow got lead astray
That's why I'm here to stay


18.Mind Trips (BNH Remix)

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, N'dea Davenport, Jan Kincaid, Andrew Levy

Trippin'
Trippin'
Trippin'

Ego trippin' got you step
Steppin' on someone else's toes
I'm not your sister, not your mother
It's no fun being left alone

Staying out all night long
Wondering when you'll be back home
Tired of being on my own

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Always talkin' about how good
About how good you can make me feel
How can you tell me it's true love
When you're out there playin' the field

I don't need the pain no more
Break my heart, I'll close the door
Ain't livin' life just like before
Time to stop the crazy games that you're
Playin' with my heart

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Lying, cheating so misleading
Hurting, scheming so deceiving
Ruin all the plans I'm making
Time to stop the crazy games that
You're playin' with my heart

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips, I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Trippin'
Trippin'
Trippin'

19.Dream Come True

Lyricist:Andrew Levy, Jan Kincaid, Jim Wellman, Lascelles Gordon,
Linda Muriel, Simon Bartholomew

There will never be a time
When I'm untrue to you, yeah
You, you're always on my mind
Tell me what can I do?

I've been through a string of affairs
'Til I met you
You, you're always on my mind
Tell me what can I do?

Is it a dream come true
About a love I once knew?
Was it all in my mind
Or did I dream it all the time?

You don't have to prove your love
'Cause it's plain to see
And life, life is a mystery
Until you came to me

And we'll have high hopes
But if it don't work out
We won't be dismayed
'Cause love, love is our guiding force
And it will remain

Is it a dream come true
About a love I once new?
Was it all in my mind
Or did I dream it all the time?

If this love I feel
In this heart so real
In my dreams each and every night
Oh, it's you that treats me so right

A dream come true
About a love I once new
Was it all in my mind
Or did I dream it all the time?

A dream come true
About a love I once new
Was it all in my mind
Or did I dream it all the time?


20.You Are the Universe

Lyricist:Siedah Garrett, Andrew Levy

You're the future
And you've come for what is yours
The hidden treasure
Locked behind the hidden doors

And the promise
Of a day that's shiny new
Only a dreamer
Could afford this point of view

But you're a driver
Not a passenger in life
And if you're ready
You won't have to try 'cause

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do

You're a winner
So do what you came here for
The secret weapon
Isn't secret anymore

You're a driver
Never passenger in life
And when you're ready
You won't have to try 'cause

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't be
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, and I believe in me

Yes I do
Believe in you, I do
Yeah, I do

You're a driver
Not a passenger in life
And when you're ready
You won't have to try 'cause

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't be
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, and I believe in me

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you

You are the universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't be
If you conceive it, you can achieve it

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid

Never stop never giving up
Never stop never giving up
Never stop never giving up

Never stop never giving up
Never stop never giving up
Never stop never giving up

Give it up, feels so good to be together
Spending some time, makin' love
Makin' plans to last forever
Stayin' true until the end

True, there ain't a minute in the the day that's without you
Hoping that you feel it too
What you want? What you're feelin' I am feelin' too?
Never stop never giving up

Never stop never giving up
Never stop never giving up

Evergreen, growin' up but fadin' never
This is what our love became, free at last
Free from all the pain and sorrow
Never feel the hurt again

Hoping that you feel it too
What you want? What you're feelin' I am feelin' too?
Never stop never giving up

True, there ain't a minute in the the day that's without you
Hoping that you feel it too
What you want? What you're feelin' I am feelin' too?
Never stop never giving up

Take your time won't you try love
Not a thing you can buy love
Take your time won't you try love
Not a thing you can buy love

Never stop never giving up
True, there ain't a minute in the the day that's without you
And I'm hoping that you feel it too
What you want? What you're feelin' I am feelin' too?
Never stop never giving up

Oh true baby baby

Never stop, never stop


22.World Keeps Spinning

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid

The world keeps on spinning
The world keeps on spinning, yeah
World keeps on spinning
The worlds keeps on spinning, yeah

Hey now, I know you're gonna be okay
Time keeps on changing but I know we're gonna win anyway
Oh, how I've done you wrong, there ain't a thing
That I can say to you to make it better
Sometimes we must be strong, you know
That life goes on for us if we cannot be together

Don't cheat yourself, happiness is 'round the corner
It will come to you, so have faith in future love
'Coz there's heaven up above when we think
We've reached the end the world keeps on spinning

Hey, you know that time can be a healer, so they say
We mustn't be afraid to let our lonely nights become a brand new
day
Oh, how I've done you wrong, I couldn't offer you a hope
Or find a better way, this time we must be strong
Our friendship lasts beyond all else, don't let it fade away
Don't let it fade away

26.Highest High

Lyricist:Siedah Garrett, Jan Kincaid

Highest high, deep inside
Lifts you up, sets you free nothing else can
Highest high, highest high
Takes you there, brings you back again

Big dreams never sleep, no
I made a promise to myself, I've got to keep
I, I was down for something, that was so for real
Always looking outside for the one thing I could feel

But when my faith was under fire, I never turned around
And never once backed down from my desire
My heart and soul still had control and I knew

I, I had the highest high that power deep inside
That lifts you up and sets you free like nothing else can
I got the highest high, love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again, yeah

Ever since that day, yeah
I know I'll never feel alone or be afraid
I, I was on a mission, on a search for fear
Trying to find the reason for the trouble that I've been

But when my faith was under fire, I never turned around
And never once backed down from my desire
My heart and soul still had control and I knew

I, I had the highest high that power deep inside
That lifts you up and sets you free like nothing else can
I got the highest high, love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again, yeah

I got the highest high that power deep inside
That lifts you up and sets you free like nothing else can
I got the highest high, love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again, yeah

I'm high, I'm so high
Feet don't touch the ground, head's up in the clouds
I'm high, I'm so high
Feet don't touch the ground, head's up in the clouds

I was down for something that was so for real
Always looking outside for one thing I could feel
And when my faith was under fire, fire
I never turned round and I never backed down, yeah

The highest high, deep inside
Lifts you up, sets you free nothing else can
The highest high, highest high
Takes you there, brings you back again

The, the highest high deep inside
The, the highest high deep inside
The, the highest high deep inside
The, the highest high deep inside

27.Keep Together

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid

Life ain't so easy sometimes
Things tend to block up my mind
Stop me from living
How I want to live

I've been working so hard
Trying to play the right card
Haven't had the time
To do the things I needed to

Why am I feeling so blue?
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened
To the words my friends would say

They'd say when times are rough
You know you've got hold on
Hold on

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of rough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

I know it's happened before
Trouble, it knocked at my door
It filled my head with things
I didn't seem to understand

Bad luck, it followed me to
Whatever I would do
I seemed to ruin all the things
I wanted most of all

Why am I feeling so blue?
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened
To the words my friends would say

They'd say when times are rough
You know you've got to hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on, baby, now

Everywhere that you go
And everything that you do
Situations, they will try to
Get the better of you

Whatever happens to you
This time you've got to hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on, baby, now

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of rough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

And I know when things get kind of tough
You know you've got to keep together
Keep together, keep together

I know it's tough sometimes
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)
Try not to lose your mind
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)

You got to be strong, you got to hold on to it
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)
You got to hold on to it, hold on to it, hold on to it, hold on
to it
(Keep together, keep together, keep together)

Don't let it go to your head, no, no, no

Now that you know I can't live without you

Treat me good, treat me fair, treat me fair

Now that I've given you every part of me
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no, no, no, no

29.Feels Like Right

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, Siedah Garrett, Andrew Levy

This feels like, feels like, like right

It's not just another everyday night
When we get together, baby, sparks fly
It's more than a friendship, it's deeper than that
Like the force of an engine, on a jumbo jet

'Cause when we get close
It's just like a high
And then before we know
It's only you and I

This feels like right, tonight
'Cause the love we make is passion
And we can't deny that burnin' fire

This feels like right, tonight
When we get this close to heaven
It's a paradise so hard to find

It's somethin' we're keepin' just between us
But there are no secrets whenever we touch
It don't take a psychic or readin' a book
You know that we like it 'cause baby, it's all good

And when we get close
It's just like a high
And then before we know
It's only for you and I

This feels like right, tonight
'Cause the love we make is passion
And we can't deny that burnin' fire

This feels like right, tonight
When we get this close to heaven
It's a paradise so hard to find

This feels like, feels like, like right
This feels like, feels like, like right

This feels like, feels like, like right
(This feels like right, tonight)
This feels like, feels like, like right
(This feels like right, tonight)
This feels like, feels like, like right
(This feels like right, tonight)

Oh, it feels like right


30.Dream On Dreamer (Angel Remix)

Lyricist:Dallas Austin, N'dea Davenport

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way

There you go day and night
Up in the clouds flying so high
You try your best to stretch your mind
Beyond reality and sense and rhyme

You see things that make your big heart sing
Like the flowers trees and birds and pretty things
Hate to put your two feet on the ground
You like to step aside, then you release yourself and fly

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinning top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn you'll be lucky one day

Now the paisley pages of your mind
Are so complete like seeing colors black and white
Do you realize that you look so spaced out
You've made your peace with the need to be free without a doubt

Yeah, I frown 'cause something don't look right
It's the twinkly twinkle star thats in your eyes
Hate to put your two feet on the ground
So go on and step aside and release yourself and fly

Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinning top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn you'll be lucky one day

You know you gotta, dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinning top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer, life gets in your way
If you live to learn you'll be lucky one day

Over, over, over and over, over and over
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on dreamer
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on dreamer
If you live to learn you'll be lucky one day

Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over
Over, over, over and over


31.Sometimes

Lyricist:Siedah Garrett, Jan Kincaid

Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ah sometimes

Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Or maybe just a change of mind
Working on my constitution
I began to realize

I've been doin' wrong forever
Trouble was my favorite game, yeah
Breakin' hearts I thought was so clever
But, I'm the one who got hurt playin'

I never could see it comin', no
Never could feel it 'til it's come and gone
But all of that don't mean nothin', no
When you're all alone, oh

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes

Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ah sometimes

You're lookin' at a transformation
That's brought about a change in me
Love's a brand new situation
Never have I felt so free

'Cause I can see it comin', yeah yeah
And I can feel it callin' louder now
Lovin' is so rewarding, yeah
When you let it out

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness, oh yeah
Sometimes, sometimes, oh

Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ah sometimes, sometimes
Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ah sometimes, sometimes
Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ah sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, oh

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

32.Brother Sister

Lyricist:Simon Bartholomew, N'dea Davenport, Jan Kincaid, Andrew Levy

Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen

Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold on to your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours

So you stand up, be strong go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move

In my head those words remind me, what?
Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold on to your faith
Don't be scared go out there

Just stand up, be strong go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, be strong go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Don't be scared go out there
Just stand up, my brother, sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, brother, sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, brother, sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, brother, sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter, yeah

34.Stay Gone

Lyricist:Jan Kincaid, Dennis Lambert

No, you cannot stay for the night
I'm not your 'anytime you want me' delight
I've been healing both my body and mind
Found the courage that can free me this time

We're playin' by a new set of rules
And baby, these were not designed for some fool
No, see I've taken all that I'm gonna take
It's the rest of my life that's at stake

So, don't you come around drinkin'
High and thinkin', I'm gonna lay down
'Cause you're wrong, you're so wrong

I'm through with letting you walk in
Do the talkin', puttin' your hands where they don't belong
No, they don't belong

You can't just show up, use me
Lie and abuse me this time baby, stay gone
You can stay gone

I'm no longer falling apart
You see, I finally got you out of my heart, yeah
And if I ever think of takin' you back
You'll remind me how I feel about that

So, don't you come around drinkin'
High and thinkin', I'm gonna lay down
'Cause you're wrong, ah, you're damn wrong

I'm through with lettin' you walk in
Do the talkin' and puttin' your hands where you know they don't
belong
No, no, no, they don't belong

You can't just show up, use me
Lie and abuse me this time baby, you, you, you, you
You can stay gone
You can stay gone, gone, gone, gone, baby

I don't need the smooth talk
On a good night, doin' just fine, doin' alright
Stay gone, I don't need you, no

I don't need the false hope
Or the bad dope or the rough love
Had enough of it, stay gone

You can't be a, a no show
When I'm real low, it's a no blow, it's a no go
Stay gone, stay gone, gone

Don't you come around drinkin'
Sad and steamin', baby, let me tell you
I won't work this time, it ain't gonna work, no

I'm tired of lettin' you hurt me
Scream and curse me, baby, that pain is
More than you're worth, more than you're worth, now

Today is gonna be my day
Find you a highway, hear me baby, stay gone
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
gone

You can stay, out there
Somewhere, I don't care, I don't care
Stay gone, you don't believe it

You can take a slow boat
Or a long road to a fast plane, to a slow train
Stay gone, stay gone, you can stay gone

Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone
I don't need your love, no, no, no, stay gone


35.Shelter

Lyricist:Kincaid Jan

I was born in the city, there's no flies on me
Life can't deliver, no surprise to me
Got a head full of trouble, the world's weight on my back
I'm a fighter, I survive like that

I'm a modern enigma, I am living proof
Cold eyes speaking volumes of my troubled youth
I believe in the future from mistakes I have grown
Leaving the shadows which were once my home

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Been so long in the bitter, city air I breathe
Seen a million believers cry in disbelief
I won't give in to the pressure, keep my spirit intact
'Cause I know when I need you, you will watch my back

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

They can't take you away from me
When they try, it only makes me stronger
Through the dark it's your light I see
Helping to show me the way

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me, help me over
Need your light to bring me, bring me closer
Need your hand to help me, help me over
Need your light to bring me, bring me closer


36.Mind Trips

Lyricist:Bartholomew Simon James, Davenport N'dea R, Kincaid Jan, Levy
Andrew D'white

Ego trippin' got you step
Steppin' on someone else's toes
I'm not your sister not your mother
It's not fun being left alone

Staying out all night long
Wondering when you'll be back home
Tired of being on my own

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Always talkin' about how good
About how good you can make me feel
How can you tell me it's true love
When you're out there playin' the field

I don't need the pain no more
Break my heart I'll close the door
Ain't livin' life just like before
Time to stop the crazy games that you're
Playin' with my heart

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
(You've got me trippin' out)
Mind trips turn me upside down

Lying cheating so misleading
Hurtin' scheming so deceiving
Ruinin' all the plans I'm makin'
Time to stop the crazy games that
You're playin' with my heart

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
(You've got me trippin' out)
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
(Boy you've got me trippin')
Mind trips pushing me around
(You've got me trippin' out)
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without
Mind trips pushing me around
Mind trips turn me upside down

Mind trips got me trippin' out
Mind trips I can do without


37.I Don't Know Why (I Love You)

Lyricist:Lula Mae Hardaway, Don Powell Hunter, Paul Riser, Stevie
Wonder

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

Oh, you'll never never stop your cheatin' ways
With that other girl, you laugh in my face
Now how long must I be disgraced?
'Cause I love you, baby baby, baby, baby

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

You throw my heart down in the dirt
You made me cry on this cold black earth
Baby, I never knew how much love could hurt
'Til I loved you, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Can't stop, I can't stop crying can't you see
Here I'm pleadin' on my knees, up on my knees
Won't you help me, help me, baby please
'Cause I love you, I love you, I love you, baby

Baby baby, please stop, baby baby, please stop
Can't you see I'm on my knees?
Why won't you just help me please?
Baby just believe, baby just stop

Baby baby, please, I love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, baby

These days why you're breaking?
These days why you're breaking my heart?
Why you're gonna break my heart?
I can't take it no more baby make me wanna scream
(Why you're gonna break my heart)

These days why you're breaking?
These days why you're breaking my heart?
Why you're gonna break my heart?
Why you're gonna break my heart
