I′ve Been On the road,
But now i′m back again,
This time, i′ve brought a little friend

Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Oww!)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Yep)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (haha)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Startrak)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Faith)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Startrak)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (Faith)
Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight, (C′mon)

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

Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight (x8)

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

Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight~

Pusha! I′m finally back at ya two years later, hiatus was Hell,
300K thanks to digital scales,
Uh! Eggshell whites, had them boys on my tail,
The truth out, now you don′t have to question what I sell,
Far as the fucking flow, I′m the hottest ′round,
Tap your girl ma, ask her how this soundm
Condos, fast cars, that′s Miami Heat,
If you know they just copped Shaq, you got the floor seats,
(Whachu talkin bout?) All that hair and all that wear,
BAPE, BBC, Three Dots and all that there (what?),
I spent green mayne on that bling chain,
Make ya scream like the silly nigga from Ying Yang (HAAH!),
As God as my witness, my fist does clenched this,
Green like fist of big Grinch Stole Christmas,
Re-Up time and it′s the work that we bringing out,
Hot off the wire, Faith tell ′em whachu thinking bout

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

Me and my girls are goin′ out tonight ~
Oooohhhhh...

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh

[Verse 1]
Now I done felt a lot of pain
and I done seen a lot of things
From struggling and broken heart and fancy cars (oh yeah)
And even though my money change
I tried my best to stay the same
But you know with mo money
Mo problems came

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

[Verse 2]
In atl I caught a case
And the media tried to say
I had a habit
I couldn’t manage and I'm throwing my life away
But everything ain’t what it seems just because its on TV
Cuz they speculate and exaggerate for a better story

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

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

[Chorus (2x)]
If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am(Cuz it made me)
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learn so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me

Lately I've been worryin'
You out there huggin' the block
I'm here alone again
You know I'll do what it
takes to hold you down
But all this lyin' to myself
is startin' to stress me out
I can't complain
I know your trying to
make life better
For us Things got to change
Cause this ain't going to
last forever And I can't take it
cause I miss you so much
You say you want me to have
the world And I believe it
But if that means you're
not here with me
Then I don't need it
Oh no no no
Now I'm not ready to trade
in all my Kelly bags
And I'm not saying you should rush
And take the Bentley back
Cause I've grown so accustom
to our lifestyle
But I'll trade it all to
have you around I can't complain
I know you're trying
to make life better
For us Things got to change
Cause this ain't going to
last forever And I can't take it
cause I miss you so much
You say you want me to have the
world And I believe it
But if that means you're not
here with me Then I don't need it
I know I never say it
But I do appreciate the
things you do The only thing
that matters is that
I will just be with you
All I need is you
So you don't have to
give me the world
You say you want me to
have the world And I believe it
But if that means
you're not here with me
Then I don't need it
You say you want me
to have the world And I believe it
But if that means
you're not here with me
Then I don't need it

I knew from the start you were running game
You'd fade away like Jordan then cross you'd me over when you'd come back again
I'm not superwoman so i can't see what's going on in your mind
(Spoken: So I figure, you wanna play? I'm willing, I got some time)

It's been so long that i strung you along
So many dates, so many hours on the phone
And i know you're getting tired of playing the game of cat and mouse
I wonder if i let you catch me, would you run your mouth
So i'm not sure if i wanna

Stop
Go
Just move slow with it or...
Let
Go
And enjoy the moment
Stop
Go
So confusing that i
Don't
Know
I feel i wanna explode

We're in the first quarter and i feel i wanna but i know we oughta not
Cuz if i pass it to you there's a chance that you might mess around and drop the rock
So you better make sure in the court you're the best i've ever seen
Cuz i would hate to have to trade you to another team
(Another team)
It's been so hard playing my emotions off
Knowing that i wanna give in but too afraid to go too far
And i know you're getting tired of playing the game of hard to get
But i wonder if i let you in would you tell your friends
So i'm not sure if i wanna

Stop, go
Just move slow with it or...
Let go
And enjoy the momeny
Stop, go
So confusing that i
Don't know
I feel i wanna explode

My heart, says yes
My mind, says no
Cuz i don't know if i wanna break down and let go
My heart, says yes
My mind, says no
Cuz i know if i break down i'll be wanting more
More this, more that
More time, to chat
And i'll be wanting a commitment from you and much more of your attention
And...

That's why i'm so confused
When it comes to loving you

Stop, go
Just move slow with it or...
Let go
And enjoy the moment
Stop, go
So confusing that i
Don't know
Feel i wanna explode
Stop, go
Just move slow with it or...
Let go
And enjoy the moment
Stop, go
So confusing that i
Don't know
Feel i wanna explode

6 years 5 months
That's how long we've been havin' this thing we got
Every moment hasn't been perfect
But still when it's perfect it feels
Like we're the only two people who have somethin' real
Now 3 years 2 weeks
That's how long we've been raisin' our family
And I wouldn't go tradin'
The love that we got
So don't go changin'
I love you just the way you are

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

[Verse 2:]
Now when the love is right
Somehow you just know
Because you hold it tight
And you don't want to let it go
And it's so deep inside of you that
You just can't take it cause it fills up your heart
And you just, you can't replace it oh no
Somebody's makin love
Non-stop tonight
And they can't make enough
I know what it feels like
Grab your lover by the hand
Say that you understand
How love really works
So good that it hurts

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Cause I don't need nobody but you in my life oh baby
Those of you that understand what I'm sayin'
Sing along with me say
Cause I don't need nobody but
You in my life oh baby
Those of you that understand what I'm sayin'
Sing along with me say

[Chorus]

verse 1:

now let me be real with you
about my feelings
the way that i deal with you
i just can't conceal it
now i don't really mind all
your female friends and all but
just know that i'm posessive
and aggresive when it comes to you

chorus:

i'm so jealous!
'n i can't help it
i'm not the type that cares to share because i'm selfish
i'm so jealous!
i can't control it
'n ain't no need to lie about it because i know it.

verse 2:

now don't you get it confused
cuz i'm not trippin
and i know there's no substitute
for what i'm givin
but all that super friendly extra lovely dovey hugs and greetings
make me feel like you might be out there cheating

chorus:

i'm so jealous!
'n i can't help it
i'm not the type that cares to share because i'm selfish
i'm so jealous!
i can't control it
'n ain't no need to lie about it because i know it.

bridge:

every now and then i might check your caller i.d.
just to see who's calling other than me
and every other girl i know does the same thing to
but they don't ever say that they do

chorus (out)

i'm so jealous!
'n i can't help it
i'm not the type that cares to share because i'm selfish
i'm so jealous!
i can't control it
'n ain't no need to lie about it because i know it.

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

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

[Chourus]
[mario] You ever wondered what makes a woman cry
[faith] you ever wondered why sometimes you make me cry
[mario] you ever wondered what makes a woman smile
[faith] its just the little things, you do to make me smile

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

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

[Chorus 1x]

[Faith]
You see i'm feelin' you
You know i'm wantin' to
Put all my trust in you
'cause aint no guarantees

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

[Chorus 2x]

Oh oh (oh oh)
[REPEAT]

(take your time)

[VERSE1:]
If you just..relax..and take your time
You'll see in me you'll find peace of mind
Something about the way that you touch me it makes me glow
in me you can confide
but the love it takes some time

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

[VERSE2:]
if you weren't so young
maybe we could be serious oh
infatuations killing me so mysterious
when there's no other you'll be my lover if you play it cool (baby just take it slow)
I can't fall in love with you (in love with you) so maybe we can rondevu (rondevu)

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

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

[CHORUS:]
it feels good but you gotta slow down
catchin feelings
cause i don't wanna turn you out catching feelings
(baby just take it slow)
take it slow [REPEAT 2x]
all you gotta do
take it slow [REPEAT 2x]
just take it slow

[REPEAT 2x]
whoa ohh whao
whao ohh whao

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

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

[Chorus]
Its true I can’t get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I can’t get over you

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

[Repeat Prelude]
[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

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

[Verse 1]
Love was just a four letter word
Misused to entrust the heart of followers
But it never meant a damn thing to me
Until you came so unexpectedly
Then you curved my whole attitude
Got me feelin' ways that I never thought I could
See really what I'm tryin' to say is I like what I'm feelin'
And I hope you never take it away

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

[Verse 2]
I can't believe you walked through my defenses
And made me smooth out my rough ends and
You got me open and I'm hopin' that this ain't no act
'Cause I don't want no parts of that
Matter fact, I really hope that you're true
'Cause I wanna invest my time in you
And all my childish dreams with all my conversations
'Cause I know that somethin' special's in the makin' I

[Chorus (1x)]

[Bridge]
Ooh la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

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

[Chorus (2x)]

[Chorus 2]
Today...is a lucky day
We can...get away
Just tell the dj to play (and play)
I just want to hear you play my favorite song
I just to hear you play my favorite

[Verse 1]
Dj's got me feeling kinda sexy
Got my body moving on the floor
Everytime i hear that Funky music
I just let the rhythm take control
Come on...come on

[Chorus 1]
I like the jam your playing for me (don't stop don't stop that jam)
Don't stop the jam just play it for me
(it's that jam yeah, it's that jam yeah)

[chorus 2]

[Verse 2]
When you put the needle on the record
Ain't nobody standing on the wall
Everybody's stepping at this party
Doing what we're doing
Everybody just get down and have a ball

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

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

It's that jam [x4]

[Chorus 2]

Come on get up and dance [x8]

(feat. Twista)

[Verse 1 (Twista)]
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And I
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I (I wish)
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
So that all the solders that were sent over seas come home
We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let's HOPE!

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

[Verse 2 (Twista)]
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have 'em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain' strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that we could never get the blues,
Wish I could bring back the people that died, Eddy too
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let's HOPE

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

[Verse 3 (Twista)]
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war
Why can't we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King "Why can't we all just get along",
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and prophecies,
You can be wrong if it's you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let's HOPE

[Chorus (Faith Evans) X2]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful
