Will Smith - Lost And Found (2005) by Will Smith (보컬) on maniadb.com

Here he comes, he can rock
He can break dance and he can pop
He can rap, he can act
& if it comes down to it, he can scrap
Hey there... here comes Big Will again
Here I come ya'll, here I come ya'll
Watch yo' back ya'll, here I come ya'll
For years I been tryin to rip rhymes & get mine
Spit lines, hot like lava this time
I don't got a sitcom to bother with
Or a time conflict with my sci-fi hits
I'm contemplating each statement's wit
& I'm concentrating on making hits
& I'm fittin' em line by line
Teeth I grit & I'm tryin to find the perfect rhyme scheme
I'm dreamin' about ya'll gleamin, doubt
"He's back from actin, he's screaming out
how he practiced rap & now he's devout
every album track packs what he's about
In the past he passed with passion, old fashioned"
Boldly mashing, totally crashing
Words up in a disorderly fashion
But back to the lab & guess what happened, KABOOM!
(ooh wee!) "Dude's resilient!" Fresh Prince was hot,
the movies killed him, wait, hold up, stop! You can rebuild him
lock him back in hip hop while Dude's not filming
shock by the film & the TV money,
went from scenes with Uncle Phil to scenes with Sonny
so hard to break free from a guaranteed 20
but its done, so come see the MC, honey!
Here he comes, he can rock
He can break dance and he can pop
He can rap, he can act
& if it comes down to it, he can scrap
Hey there... here comes Big Will again
Everytime he touch the mic,
he closes his eyes and he hope to shine
Then like a streak of light,
they'd show his name, they'd be like, Aaahhh!
Here he comes, he can rock
He can break dance and he can pop
He can rap, he can act
& if it comes down to it, he can scrap
... hey there, here comes Big Will again
.....here comes Big Will again
.....here comes Big Will again!!!

Get on the floor
Whoa I'm the party starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
Dance an aphrodisiac
Women gyrating
simulating sensual acts
To stimulating musical tracks
I thought I was just gon'
come out tonight
and get a brew and relax
But no Uh uh
when you're the party starter
It's like you're on call
you're what the doctor ordered
It's like you gotta
block the border to the door
And shock em when it's boring
Get on the floor
It's the groovicide bomber
mic in my vest
Tight strapped to my chest
Like I'm a run up
in the party hollerin be like
Oh fulfillin' my callin'
Big Big Will Will
that's my name whoop
Writin' rhymes
that's my game whoop
Ask me again and I'll
tell you the same whoop
Just write ya number right
next to ya name girl
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
He was raised in the days
when the roof was raised
Every rap occasion
new and amazing
The back of the
stage amazed and gazin'
Prayin for the day they would
one day praise him
Studied the ways
of the game and made it
Came through the maze and the
haze and played it
perfect Days any
person hated and cursed him
he was unfazed
He waited it was worth it
he never retaliated
He saved it slavin'
on the road blazin'
Days when he was low
nothin' could raise him
He came to the show and
somethin' uncaged in him
Like the pope
but its party crusade
I'm like braids that's
never gon' fade ya heard
I'm like 23s on an Escalade
Throw me into the rave
like you threw a grenade BOOM
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
I call for the days
of the unadulterated
When the artistry
was cultivated
You know back
when rap was smart
and multilayered
We could rap without
A and Rs and ultimatums damn
Now today I say I
Fri's long for the glow days
When the party was
all about partyin'
I was a mini party
starter then
My mind bends
when I call my pen
The big question should I
run the mind a vittle
Food for thought or dumb
the rhyme a little
But Will if you come too high
that'll alienate folks and
they won't buy it yo
Look people getting
trapped in the track
And they be clappin'
even when the rappin is wack
Yo what happened
when did we get
happy wit that
He's old fashioned yup
but let's be happy he's back
Ya heard me
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'
Oh I'm the Party Starter
You might have a good time
but we party harder So
tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all
night to the early mornin'

Mic check 1, 2..
this is dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle...
Ms. Holy Roller now turn over

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel,
got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell,
if I don't believe what you believe, I'm going to hell...
I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school
& Easter speeches
The Bible was survival,
that's what my grandma would teach us
Since I was 5, I've been dying and trying to read it
When I did I did, it redefined it
Now you was 34 when you found Jesus
after your life fell to pieces
Wife two times, with two guys, now enlightened in speeches
Seemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher
Took your whole life to reach you, now I'm a trifling creature
Ms. Holy Roller, new angel,
got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell,
if I don't believe what you believe, I'm going to hell...
Come on, if I die right this second,
I reckon that God would simply check into my life & times,
dissecting my rhymes,
he'll see how I've been leading his troops
You can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'!
Now where was Jesus, when you life then you was cheatin',
when you was deceiving me?
Where was Jesus when you greedy,
your lawyers was bleeding me?
Where was Jesus when every weekend,
a new man living with you?
Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you?
Now, where was Jesus when you was lying
& you was betraying me?
When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you,
Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you!
If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no telling where I would be
It's been nights I felt like feces; I needed to fight to release it
I'm in the limelight, it's hot & the heat is ceaseless,
Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces
The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus &
Venting with my pen, intending to write & release it
But when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venom
I hate it, I can't stand it, damnit, I really resent it
I always strive to be righteous, my version of God
The reason why I never write verses with curses inside
The reason I never purposely hurt persons,
I've applied many teaching of God,
Searching the reaches of God
Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me,
I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery
You made mistakes & blunders, you breaking from under
But yo, If I'm going to hell, it's making me wonder.
Now where was Jesus, when you life then you was cheatin',
when you was deceiving me?
Where was Jesus when you greedy,
your lawyers was bleeding me?
Where was Jesus when every weekend,
a new man living with you?
Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you?
Now, where was Jesus when you was lying
& you was betraying me?
When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you,
Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you!
The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet
have been in the name of God
This country was founded by Puritans,
for the expressed purpose of oppression-free worship
Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism
that fueled the hatred of the Crusades & the attacks on 9/11.
If we are not allowed to worship God
as groups & individuals free from persecution,
in respectful Tolerance, there's only one outcome...
Ms. Holy Roller, new angel,
got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell,
if I don't believe what you believe, I'm going to hell...
Ms. Holy Roller, new angel,
got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell,
if I don't believe what you believe, I'm going to hell...

Why, why, why, why, why. Why
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
September 11th, I woke up about 7am,
west coast time, French toast and my Turkey bacon,
taking my time, awakin', turning my TV on
To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
Me & my children, images were chillin'
My son said, "Daddy were there people in that building?"
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say "Yes" to him
That night at my son's side, he cried & prayed
For the one's who died in the World Trade
His palms to God, seeds and qualms with God
He just kept on pressin' me, wanna know why
Then one week later our bombs were dropped
We seein' them on CNN, they just won't stop
The infrared images of brutal attack
He said, "Daddy now we killin' em back"; (right, right)
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
Mmmmm, souls are captured
Dreams are stolen, hearts are broken
Evil blatantly rewarded
Hate surrenders, Love exalted
Hope elated, negativity is shorted
Why is the bomb always getting the last word
& why did her uncle have to molest her
& why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill
& why did all them priests have to act so ill
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched
Tell me why did Malcolm & Martin depart from us
Tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot
& why does human life always denied for loot
Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
& why the f*@k can't love seem to defeat hate
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat
Why did Pac & Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way
Please what am I supposed to say to my kids
when they say 'Why?'
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
Can't explain it baby, life is just really crazy
I mean if it's world wars or the life of a little baby
We got more stores than they got rice under Buddha lazy
You live four scores & still it be driving you crazy
But for me I try to see the bright side
Sometimes it'd be like the goodness be tryin' to hide
Then try to flee, but it can't it's deep inside
Sweetie, you be the light for the others,
make 'em believe in God
Mmmmm, souls are captured
Dreams are stolen, hearts are broken
Evil blatantly rewarded
Hate surrenders, Love exalted
Hope elated, negativity is shorted

Yo ain't no better man
for this hype track
Just the veteran
taking the mic back
David Letterman
even said he like that
track man
Even though he ain't a rap fan
Black radio
they won't play though
Ever since 'Summertime'
they ain't liked none of mine
Even though the fans
went out & bought enough
I guess they think
Will ain't hard enough
Maybe I should just
have a shoot out
Run up in the bank bustin'
grabbin' all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass
taking my boot out
Right on TV
so ya'll can see me
Just ignorant
attacking actin' rough
I mean
then will I be black enough
Oh wait
maybe I'll jack a truck
Full of cigarettes
guns & drugs & stuff
Get that
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda
told the girls to
'drop it like it hot'
Summer Summertime
Seem like all I got
Get that
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda
told the girls to
'drop it like it hot'
Summer Summertime
Seem like all I got
I always envied how ya'll rock
wit Dre & the Chronic
The way that Tupac Biggie
50 and Jigga got it
A lot like L L
Chuck D Slick & Dougie
I think ya'll love me
but ya'll place other
rappers above me
& I don't know if you
feel my flow & be at my show
& you'll see where I should go
On the charts of rhyme arts &
thoughts in rap form
Damnit I expanded the platform
Damnit this Cat's on a rap song
Yeah it ain't no braids or
plats on
Ain't on stage wit no gats on
You know I'm afraid
getting' my act on
It might have stunted my
growth But I wanted them both
& I hope that it
would be less tougher
You do two things &
then they both gonna suffer
I chose to act & it
broke my heart not to rap
Prodigal son clever
better than ever back
Get that
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda
told the girls to
'drop it like it hot'
Summer Summertime
Seem like all I got
Get that
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda
told the girls to
'drop it like it hot'
Summer Summertime
Seem like all I got

All this excess stress I can't take it
Slow that thing down, pump ya brakes kid
Why you gotta be all up in her face kid?
The ABS will get you numbers & the name kid
I mean really, houndin' ol' girl, was that really necessary
See your itinerary is all off
You need to be hauled off
She start flippin', she ain't trippin' it's your loss.
This is a simple case of an anti-brake pumper
You don't have to talk to women bumper to bumper
That mighta got you a couple
of numbers when you were younger
But dude switch your whole approach, that ain't proper
Be a gentleman& try to be gentle man
The essence of stimulation mental man
But if your acting like you just got out the kennel man
Put your foot on the pedal & pump
If your girl's in ya face & she's outta place
What you need to tell her is... PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're out with your girls & he's pressin' you hard
What you need to tell him is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Now if you're underage & you're actin' all grown
What you need to do is PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're offended by this record, then you know that's you
What you need to do is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Outside the restaurant Girl sees Boy,
Girl likes Boy Girl meets Boy,
Boy doesn't know that Girl thinks he's fly
Boy's a nice guy, so Boy says 'Hi'
Boy's Girlfriend returns from going to park
She sees them together this ignites a spark
Boy's girlfriend has a real loud bark
Now this is where the pumpin' of the brakes should start
Girlfriend thinks that something's going on
Girl tells Girlfriend nothings going on
Boy's in the middle of the commotion beginning
Girlfriend's mad cause Boy keeps grinning
Now, why is he grinning but that's beside the point
Girlfriend should chill before they roll up in the joint
Jumping to conclusions gets you no where honey
Pump ya brakes or be a crash test dummy
Dummy
If your girl's in ya face & she's outta place
What you need to tell her is... PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're out with your girls & he's pressin' you hard
What you need to tell him is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Now if you're underage & you're actin' all grown
What you need to do is PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're offended by this record, then you know that's you
What you need to do is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Rule #1, is just like #2
the who do's and what nots & what you should dizz-oo
No loud talking, no back talking,
If you do either, believe it, you're back walking
I hate to sound rude but then again, I have to
My rap thang and my mack game, It'll smack
you , click clack you, spit at you
I don't do it cause I want to, I do it cause I got to
I got a question to ask you,
would you fall, stand tall, ball, or let em smash you
If I was you & you was I,
would you keep it G or would you stay fly
If you was rich in a ditch, living low,
would you push the button,
Keep it cuttin' or would you just let it go
Calm down little homey
& know what your dealing with before you run up on me
If your girl's in ya face & she's outta place
What you need to tell her is... PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're out with your girls & he's pressin' you hard
What you need to tell him is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Now if you're underage & you're actin' all grown
What you need to do is PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're offended by this record, then you know that's you
What you need to do is...PUMP YA BRAKES

Yo, Big Will in the place to be, mic check...mic check..
Would you love me in the shack in a shanty town
Would you love me if my pants was hand me downs, huh?
Yo, yo,
Often times I hear a phrase when I'm out & about
8 to 80, all walks of life be shouting it out
Usually, when its time for a encore I hear it
Or when I did something hot, evoking the spirit
It's weird, its like a double edge sword when ya'll applaud
It's kinda wild, a peace sign, a smile
How do I respond to the phrase, "I love you Will!"?
Kinda heavy when I hear it, I'd be like damn for real?
In a way it makes me wanna stay strong and moral
But history say I could be gone tomorrow
& though my future looks floral
I feel like I'm hoping for much pain
When people stop shouting my name
& doubting my game & liking others better than me
Writing letters to him instead of to me
A veteran 'B', I know the game, but do me this here,
In your heart be clear before you bless my ear
Come on..
Could you love me if I lived in a shanty town
Could you love me if my pants was hanging down
Could you love me if my wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
Could you love me if my whip wasn't chrome fitted
Would my name be easier to forget it, huh?
Could you love me if wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
I pray before I sit with a pen & a pad
A birth of a thought occurs & it calls me Dad
To the universe an idea released from me
Just a CD, nah man, a piece of me
What you can't see is when you be dancing 'B'
Is I asked you a question, that's how you answer me
So when you don't dance, it be like I'm choking from cancer
Like I wrote rancid rhymes, I can't survive
Sure, I rationalize like, oh, I see..
But if you don't like my cut, its like you don't like me
Some stuff works, some works not so well
Its like you work so hard, still get hurt like hell
Yo, it could tear you apart
But don't let your wins go to your heard
Your losses go to your heart
& if we ever get the pleasure to meet
Be clever with it, measure what you yell in the street
Come on...
Could you love me if I lived in a shanty town
Could you love me if my pants was hanging down
Could you love me if my wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
Could you love me if my whip wasn't chrome fitted
Would my name be easier to forget it, huh?
Could you love me if wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?

Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger
thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife
OH Loretta Never ever meant him no danger,
her love for his sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
Miss Loretta, a young girl, I never really met her,
A fun girl, a real go-getter, I heard a gold Jetta
A full with books & herb or so I'm told,
hooked on my every word
Oh so bold, a love letter cleverly worded in a jacket pocket
Wrapped inside a platinum locket
In the shape of a heart with pictures of me
Had it inscribed, "no us, no him then no me
She fell in love with the Prince of Bel-Air
Fantasy was to see me & to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me & then she signed it Loretta
Said, "I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate"
We gotta be together how could we not be together
But wait if I send the letter
I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself

OH Loretta Never ever meant him no danger,
her love for his sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta,
her backpack, her cellphone & a love letter
Most of her stuff was done up with
pictures of me on it with a phrase "It's gonna be" on it
Her mother begging her please come home & then
Loretta resenting her leave me alone Ma!
I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled
"You're just jealous because Daddy
ain't as sweet as my Will",(click)
To the front gate at NBC, in June & July, backstage at MTV,
she would drive anyplace that they'd mention I'd be
Told herself, "strive for love & God eventually
he would give me to her & her to me,
this was meant to be
14 months outside every event that I'd be at,
she'd still keep missing me
& now she's getting high with more frequency now
rage rumbling inside got to be with me now
then she heard I married Jada,
she took her love letter out & wrote down,
"PS - I hate her."

Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at,
she's sleep getting woke up by the cops in the back
By a dumpster didn't even greet 'em with fear,
grinning ear to ear, said "my husband meeting me here"
"You know him, he's nominated for his flick 'Ali'
& it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!"
"Don't put that stick on me!",
"Hell no I'm not leaving, get your hands off me.
Don't make those things click on me"
Kicking & screaming, "You intervening,
this is fate. Mister. What you mean that I ain't?"
"What you mean it seems like I ain't"
"Ooh, your like my Mom & our love is gonna survive ya'll hate.
God gon' take me to my destiny."
"Ya'll only seeing one side of me, Will gon' see the rest of me,
he gon' see the best of me."
'If I could only get him next to me,
he gon' bring my blessings to me, I know it."

From a distance, you can witness
the glow from my entourage
Gravitate towards the ambiance
see me & my men on CNN,
then the birth of the inevitable hate begin
cause hate is the child to greatness
the glue between Neo & the Smiths in the matrix,
yin to the yang It just must be,
ask anybody with a Grammy or an MVP
I said stop, get out, I don't need this hate around me
All your negativity might drown me
I just try to go hard, doing my job
Stop, get out - the whole world loves me cause I do what I do
& I don't like the energy coming from you
Trying to play me soft, wave em off
(I just wave em off, yeah)
I ain't concerned with your hatin'
that don't slow down my paper makin
(wave em off, yeah)
While the whole world recognize,
you looking at me with your crooked eyes
(wave em off yeah)
Love me, I paved the way,
boys we can't behave this way come on
(wave em off, yeah)
While the whole world recognize,
you looking at me with your crooked eyes
Coming of age I invaded nations, on stage,
I seen Haitian & Asian faces
No vacations just more locations,
I go places, so chasing my vocation
So demonstrating the way to be patient with life's test,
through my IRS situations
My guess is my dedication don't phase ya,
a public sensation, in private you hatin' Why?
That's so last year, that's so not sexy,
but I shall not let the hate stress me
I got bigger fish to fry
& I could stand on my wallet, probably kiss the sky
When I close my eyes, I wish that I could change how you get
pissed when I do things you can't deny
Truth is, Great do need Hate to survive, so I...
(I just wave em off, yeah)
I ain't concerned with your hatin'
that don't slow down my paper makin
(wave em off, yeah)
While the whole world recognize,
you looking at me with your crooked eyes
(wave em off yeah)
Love me, I paved the way,
boys we can't behave this way come on
(wave em off, yeah)
While the whole world recognize,
you looking at me with your crooked eyes
Block 'em out, ignore 'em (wave em off)
Don't pay these jokers no mind (wave em off)
They just all mad cause they in the coat
section of the hate train & they can't get off
Still flaming boy, stand clear of the hatin'
is the best defense Tryin to exceed excellence
Same way hope comes with fear, yo,
Greatness lives here, then 'hateness' lives here, Trust!
I said stop, get out, I don't need this hate around me
All your negativity might drown me
I just try to go hard, doing my job
Stop, get out - the whole world loves me cause I do what I do
