Dwele [Soul]

within a dream i try to catch myself,
and awakin myself before i dream of something else,
and have the greatest song ever wrote.
and with a hazy eye i bring myself upright,
grab for my pen and scoll to bare my soul and i hope
the hand can translate my flow.
for overzelous pen it seems it has a dream of being
the ink of a mans soul
the greatest pen this hand will ever hold
sometimes in the journy though
the mind to pen seem so close
the translation is hard to hold
and we ain't even got to the studio
and now she waits to destract my motivated stroke
come back to bed
is the song she sings
she hates when i wake her from a lucid dream
but she don't know what the song can mean
why can't it wait
wait till the suns a little bit higher
she still burns from last nights fire
and she wants me to dous the flame
but wait if i did the song wouldn't be the same
i'm sorry

Ohh Ohh ohh
Oohhh Oohhh Oohhh
Hold on if you don’t mind
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Woa Woa Woa

Open your ears
Don’t allow these words to be ignored by years
Fearing lullibies, containing the same old lies (same old lies)
Dealing just to deal is just a crime,
Besides I know you wouldn’t mind
Trying something new so...

In my heart I have to (Oooh)
And-- want to have you (Oooh)
So fulfilled that you will never need to ask for more--

Real love, true love (It feels good girl)
Tainted love (It's so good girl) real love
True love (It's alright baby) tainted love, real love, true love
Tainted love

Think of her think of me, think about us it's a intimacy
I'm tryin to strum like guitars in this beat
And consider ridin she'll kick the blahzay spleen
Plus, you got a man but he ain't quite me
The type of man that try to give you what you need
And, he wanna know where you are where you be
Where you going where you today where you started to be (Damn)
If I was him I wouldn't even leave
I would trust you what you say that you are where you been
Say, he the type of nigga that's still cheap
Take his girl on a date and they go to Mickey D's
See, I'm the type that try to style in a jeep
Try to take you out to see things and occasionally creep
Yeah your man is doing things I can't really see
Don't sound too good it sound tainted to me

Real love (It's so real girl) true love (It's so right girl)
Tainted love (It's real) real love (It's so good girl)
True love (For real love) tainted love (Tainted)
Real love (Yeah yeah) true love (It's so good girl) real love

How many years does it take for a record to blow?
I'm doin exactly how many licks it took for my hoes
Spendin your cash flow cause she was so out hoe
Scandal love, cause love full of scandal
Too much chick for that ass she couldn't handle that
Well it's the same tainted love in the music business
People they lose thet brain just to get up in this
Let's be a star for day, everything in life is just ok
People say things they don't really wanna say
Hey but it's ok cause your a star for the day
People a smile at you when they really wanna frown
Well a that's just the way tainted folk get down
Just keep it real and, we'll see
When the situation is tainted love is always free
Love is always free love is always free

Real love, true love, tainted love, real love
True love, tainted love, real love, true love, real

You say you love me but is it really real
Would you, fix me green tea if I'm feelin ill
Would you, give me a back rub to sooth after a long day
Dinner by candlelight but your the main entree
And if so I do the same with other treats to give you
Trailin rose pedals from your door to beneath your pillow
With a bucket of champagne on your night stand
Experience with someone who want in they life span, the same

Real love, real, real, everybody knows that love's real love
Someone to trust in you for real
Everybody need love that's real
I would never want nothin tainted
Wait a minute what you feel
Faded if your lovin was tainted
True, oh, I know true love is hard to find
Just let it find you for real
If you found love to keep it real
Keep love from being tainted, being tainted
Oooh do you, be, alright
(T3: Just sit y'all, Dwele, on more time y'all come on)
If you, be, alright...

Get your team
Get your flock
Get your Body rock
Tell your girls not to stray
Cause my crew is on the way
And they all wanna body rock
Pimpim for days They wanna
Play with you ladys

Girl me and you grab up your crew
I and my dudes
Make the night do what it do
Smoke out
Do that shit before you hop in my ride
Keep it fragant that baby fresh cause that's how I like to ride

There ohhhh yea yea ohhhh
Sometimes we must go
We must look at our situations lady
And how could u make me chose
Between you and my first life
There's so many others
Wishing that they can raise their families
All first at the same
And playing and traveling
But you keep me within chain
Holding, keeping me from leaving
I hope for the day
When you and I can agree
And we can live like we ardor be
Girl its all for u
And you call me
Fame <i>[x7]</i>
Ohh <i>[x4]</i>

You're saying thangs
No one stays the same
So I take it lightly
When you say that I've changed
All that I do
Is done for you
And I can't help but feel bad
When you place me at the blame

I'm such a sucka for you baby
Oooooh
I'm such a sucka for you babe

I got enough money
To fly you around
And around the world again
Until you're ready to come down (all the way down)
But let's keep it real
Had it not been for the fame
I probably wouldn't have even known you
Or even got to know your name
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

(Sucka) It's all for you
(I'm a sucka) Everything I do
(I'm a sucka) It's all for you

I'm amazed at your selfish ways
You want to take me from my travels
All my musical gains
(But could you live here without) Could you live here without a flat screen
Your diamonds and thangs
If I took a breathe and left this business for you
I might lose you in the same
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

(I'm a sucka for you) Oh La-la-la-la-la
(I'm vain too) I don't want to loose what I got with you
(It's all for you) Ooooooh
I'm a sucka for you <i>[x6]</i>

Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

<i>[Vamp out]</i>

She can find over the years since I last seen her
It's been some time, I tripped up this day
She don't need
No knowledge of how she ran my
Memory
Up until this day,
This fine day in may,
Certainly I flashedback to bobby
And remembering,
A special envy
He possesed the only thing my life was missing,
Can only guess why every bodies telling me that shes shady...
Ooohhhhhhhhh, whhhyyyyy? oooooooohhhhhhhhhh....soooooo
Shady shady shady
Shady mothafuu...
Cuz I was blinded by beauty I
I didnt see the ??
After three weeks have passed
Of courtin this chick and I still aint hit that ass,
She had the nerve to ask a favor of Dwe,
'I'm in dire straights' she said
'I need five hundred for books for class'
But I dont understand, so lets just ??
Before I can let her know,
She followed it up with head shots called fellatio
She found my weakness
That shady mothafuu...
That shady mothafuu... fuu ooooohhhhhh whhhyyyyyyy
Oooooohhhoooo soo so
Shady shady shady
After her job was done
She went to the bathroom and said 'ill be back soon'
But you know what was strange?
She picked up her phone.
I overheard her say, 'bobby I got the dough meet me on monroe'
I choked on pride, this bitch was wrong
But I held my tongue...
As she exited the bathroom and came in
I grabbed her legs,
Threw her onto my bed,
I released my tongue
Karma lingeres until she screamed jesus!
I nto her ear I whispered.. pssssss..
And a single tear drop falls
Simply caused to the (realized is pimpin??)
She looked uneasy,
She says 'I got to go.'
She met Bobby on Monroe, yeah.
She asked for the key to the stash for the cash, B.
Bobby's birthday was tomorrow.
She promised to suck my skabarro.
The keys to unlock the safe is,
Of three years of Bobby girl's shadiness.
?? threw Bobby a kiss and smiled. *muah*
Meanwhile,
I go to take a piss,
She dropped a note in the bathroom sink and
With the inked was ran and shit.
Something about 'Japan first class ticket'.
I used my only lead.
I got in my whip to see about Monroe street.
There I see a limosine.
Windows cracked with this bitch in the backseat.
I said 'What the hell is this?'
She said 'I came with Stayo pimp and his profile.
The hottest Tokyo sound.'
Oh you Shady Mothafuuu...
But im gonna ff her ?? ... hell yeah...

Yeah, he'll hook you up, dawg...real good nah'mean?

<i>[Verse 1]</i>
Detroit...Lady
I know you goin' crazy
Everyday to the movies
Friday's to Ruby Tuesday's

When was the last time
You left the city and moved around
Cleveland and Chi-town, they don't count
I'm talkin' 'bout flyin'

More than a hour flight
Shoney's, Waffle House delight
You need some highway in ya life
But don't bring no (purse?)
Cop that when you get there...oooooooh

<i>[Chorus]</i>
We can go...dirt down South
We can get Bro's gold fronts for our mouth
Temporaries...just for the week
Let's see the world
Hop in my...Chrysler 300
Throw some longhorns...on the front bumper
Just for the week...let's see the world
My travelin' girl

<i>[Verse 2]</i>
So, you think you will travel (ooh)
You seen the states, and, see the places
You ate the food, seen many faces
But you ain't seen it all

You ain't never walked into
A store to find yo' dollar ain't shit
Find depression thru pounds and pence
And baby, that's my word

And...you ain't never stepped into
The street to look for traffic to find...
...it's not in front of you, it's behind
You move just in time to catch the bird...flip
You'll find out when you get there...ohhhh

<i>[Chorus 2]</i>
We can go...to London
Bring your umbrella, it's probably rainin'
No sunshine, but no complainin'
'cause we seein' the world (fly with me)
Picadilly Square...to Camden
Jazz cafe...walk right in
Catch a free show, 'fore we see the world
My travelin' girl

<i>[Bridge]</i>
First first stop Paris, France like a supastar
Hop hop on the stage make 'em <i>[*something in French*]</i>
Next next stop, Primo Concierto Italia
Bella bella, hold me down, I call 'em my frittalia
Third third stop Germany, come backstage
Bored in this hotel, might not (???)
All all these places my lady I been before
But I ain't never been to Monaco, so...

<i>[Chorus 3]</i>
We can go...to Monaco
No yacht, but, we can rent a boat
With the paddles, but we could roll slow
And see the world
Make love ripples...by the boat drift
Drink champipple...the semi-cheap shit
Just for the week, let's see the world
My travelin' girl
And, we can go...straight to the moon
Close your eyes and...let's make it true
Don't need no...astrosuit
To leave this world...and
We won't need...no spaceship
Just some oils...and a tight grip
For lift off...and we heaven sent
My travelin' girl

<i>[skat adlib]</i>

Assume that we can be one under the sun
Shouldnt be that bad because we are one
And you can be
My woman my love
Now that I got time to be your man
Cmon baby, we should be together forever infinity
Love ultra (don't, don't, don't)
Beyond whatever it is you fantasize
Let me be the one to open you up to
A love beyond
All you've been opened up today we go
Find that way to find love
Above and beyond any other
Love ultra (don't, don't, don't)
Dont you feel the same that I feel
Feel the touch of me touch
Love aint up me, but leave it up to me
I love you

<i>[skat adlib]</i>

Find a love, find a love

<i>[skat adlib]</i>

Assume that we can be one under a love
It dont seem hard to conceive, huh
I wanna be your man
You can be lady
We can make love, or even make
(nah not yet)
We can make love to surpass horizons
Whatever it is, my love, fantasize it
They say fantasies come true when love is due
Let me be the one to open you up to
Love ultra

(our love, our love ultra...<i>[woman singing in the background]</i>)

Humm everybody cheats right
Cool Everyone I know
(Everybody cheats.....ohhh)

I can never affair
With nobody else but u
You sexy as hell
But u know my girlfriend too
She says things about ya
Like how you's a freak at night
How you do things she neva
I neva get the pleasure
Because of the mornin after
The shame she would feel inside
The lecture I'd have to sit through
How her momma raised her right
Ya'll both rock different hairdos
But ya'll kinda look alike
I know the way I can tell it sounds wrong
But it feels so right

Girl, ohoh, girl, girl,I'm cheatin on my
Girl, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, girl, girl, that's my world

I....you drink more than my girl
While she keeps me business post
She dresses warm in the summer
While you don't wear any clothes (in the winter)
Rememberin the other day (when I sent ya)
A dozen of them longstem roses
You told me neva eva
Send roses you would rather
Me send them to the other
And then you took off your clothes
You asked me who I wanted
The nasty one I suppose
We tussled into the moonlight
A break from my everyday world
I fell asleep with my love affair
And woke up next to my

Girl, yeah yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin with my
Girl, yeah yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my own, girl, girl,girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl

When love is free
It's a matter of time
Before before...(that's wrong)
Some have a girl with a chick on the side (I don't need it)
My girl is all
She's all I need so I don't mind cheatin on my

Girl, with my, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl, girl, said I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl, girl, oahhh
Girl, oooohhh, girl, girl, I'm cheating on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl-girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheating
With my girl, I'm cheating on my girl with my girl
With my gril, I'm cheating on my girl with my girl
With my girl
