Terence Blanchard

This is Headliner from Arrested Development, and I come here tonight
To give thanks to ithe rain, so brothers and sisters please put down your
Umbrellas, you won't be needing those today
Look to the clouds with the most rain coming from it, for without the
Rain there's no me and there's no you
I said a drip-drop, a drip-drop, drip-drop
Viva bum bum bum drip-drop
Let it rain, let it rain, let God's water feed me
The water of life, mentally rinsing me, physically drenching me
Most are frowning upon your arrival
But I need you for survival
And when you fall on my community
I run outside to properly
Greet you
Let it rain, take my pain, I'm glad to meet you
Fill my eyes with a colorful rainbow
Every drop hits me, fills me
With an unmeasurable amount of security
Knowing my God acknowledges me
As if each drop of rain is aimed toward me
My Lord Thanks for lifeThanks for my rain
My Lord Thanks for lifeThanks for my rain

It's raining revolution
It's raining solutions
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution

I struttle strut thru the ghetto
The rain this time I feel is mental
The goal of this rain I feel is spiritual
Saw thru the eyes of the inflicted people
Their eyes are hard as a million thombstones
Marked with the names of the millions of kin thrown
To the dust that gave them their colored skin
Fade to black is the scene they're embalmed in
The rain many nights have witnessed her
Receiving the sperm of a brother into a sister
And blessed that life to guaranteed existence
A conscious baby for a black resistance
I feel the rain enhances the revolution
And reminds us of a spiritual solution
And reminds us of an unnatural supernatural solu-lu-lu-lution

It's raining revolution
It's raining solutions
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution

Lost between reality and psychology. 1990's mentality is described
By the honorable thruth message which is 'True Knowledge Is So Priceless'
Which is so true
Rain, rain, stay here ! Wow
Love that power
Brothers and sisters -haha-
Raise your hands up high and let me see the colors of your beautiful skin
Now the ceremony begins
Lord, let thet heavenly rains cleanse
Run into your nearest rainbow
To grab, hold, to ride on
Each color, learn it ! The importance of each color oh yeah
Let it rain (repeats till end)
Haha
Yes
Oh yeah

Leonard Bernstein

So you cry
What's it about, baby?
You ask why
Blues had to go and pick you
So you go
Down to the shore, kid's stuff
Don't you know
There's honey in the store for you, big stuff
Let's take a ride on my gravy train
The door open wide

So you stare
Call it despair, baby
Don't you care
I'm on the square about you
Let's have a try
It maybe that you're my guy
Let's take a ride on my gravy train
The door open wide
Come in from out of the rain

Beans and Cornbread
Beans and Cornbread had a fight
Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight
Cornbread said, "Now that's alright
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night"
"I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night"
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
"I'll be ready tomorrow night

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Stardust gleaming
Through my solitude

Here in my seclusion
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this azure interlude
I'm not wanted
I'm so all alone

Always haunted
By the dreams I own
But though I'm tormented
I must be contented

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood

I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right
. . . .
(
and fade):
Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

Running Away

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d'amour
des mots de tous le jours
Et ca me fait quelque chose

Il est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui
dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat...

When he takes me in his arms
and whispers love to me
everything's lovely
It's him for me and me for him
all our lives
and it's so real what I feel
this is why

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi,mon coeur qui bat...
la vie .........

La vie en rose,la vie en rose
ohhhhhhhh.....la vie
La vie en rose,

La vie en rose,la vie en rose
la vie en rose ,la vie en rose
la vie en rose , la vie en rose
la vie en rose, la vie en rose

Je t'aime voir toujours...

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side
I'd just tear out that page

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

------ guitar solo ------

Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

Doesn't take much to make me happy
and make me smile

You know...
I want you to take this time out and just listen
And hole me close
You hear me?
Listen

Can I have you for a minute
Don't get shy 'cuz my heart's in it (When I say)
You got me strung out
I don't know and I can't call it
But whatever it is you've got it (Naw babe)
Without a doubt, yeah
Never been the one to cling
And I don't like to be needed (But now)
I guess that's all changed
That's why I get mad at your phones
'Cuz I don't want you to go (Naw babe)
I want you to stay

You can say I'm trippin' but I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me
I'm selfish, why try to fight it
You're the only one, with the only love
That's strong enough to claim me
So please forgive me, I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me

(Listen) Baby, tell me how you do it
'Cuz you got me so into it
I'm gone, but I don't understand
So amazing, captivating, elevating
Any way you try to put it I wanna be your man
So if you (if you wanna put me on)
I don't mind it's alright, I'm for it
I would so adore it
Nothing turns me on more than being with you
Baby, I'm not trippin'

You can say I'm trippin' but I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me
I'm selfish, why try to fight it
You're the only one, with the only love
That's strong enough to claim me
So please forgive me, I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me

Do what you want
Anything, anything
I am all yours
You can do no wrong
Everything, everything
I do because I'm so wide open

No joking, you got me right where you want me to be
I just hope you feel the same
'Cuz I don't want nothing to change
This is where I wanna be
So if you wanna put me on
I don't mind it's alright, I'm for it
I would so adore it
Nothing turns me on better than being with you
Baby, I'm not trippin'

You can say I'm trippin' but I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you close to me
I'm selfish, why try to fight it
You're the only one, with the only love
That's strong enough to claim me
So please forgive me, I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me

Just like a fresh pair of Royals on the first day of school
It was love, even from the jump I spoiled you
Before the fame camera cars and the glitter
Though my occupation is tasty for God's sake it came with the bitches
But that's on another note (uh-huh) let me explain here
right now sugar on how I feel for you
Like when we UHH yo I get these crazy chills from you
And when we done, yo I know the perfect meal for you
The mashed joints, big onions on sauteed fish
Little Royal, candle and one big kiss
You my pumpkin and my 'nilla custard; you cussed me out
when you found condoms layin in my pocket I was busted
I gets right witchu (uh) form a life with you (yeah)
The type after sex get a warm rag and then wipe you
Hyped up love light it up, might bite you at the altar
I'm bitin off you, I'm wearin white too

[Ruff Endz]
Ain't it funny how tables turn, chase you all around
Change your life baby, cause I love you baby

[Chorus: Ruff Endz (+ ad libs)]
Stuck with me through the thick and thin
Through the pain and strife.. the love of my life
Said that it will ne-ver last
But I'm here by your side.. the love of my life

[Ghostface]
And I'm here.. that's my word
Only fight you when we makin love, that's what I call it
Burnin the chronic we laughin while I'm shittin on the toilet
Camcord it, happy times record it; the time you asked me
for them blue Nike's - I was like, "Boo I can't afford it"
I was fucked up, plus I was stuck, Starks the King
Hit the block and still scraped up, eighty beans
How you like them apples? My technique is Taye Diggs
Your attitude is right that's why I made you my Wiz
The only girl that can make my shit jump, with the slightest touch
You at the stove while I'm grabbin my stuff
God forbid somethin happen to us
Let's remain and friends and discuss our troubles and might try again
Word to my Iron pen, it's not good to hold the cryin in
I feel the same way your heart's trapped in the lion's den
Iron Man, I am him
It's the beauty in our souls through Allah where the love lies within

[Ruff Endz: repeat 2X]
Can't believe you found love in me, through everything
Held me down like my boys in the streets, here's the ring
Whatchu wanna do? Whatchu wanna do?

[Chorus]

[Ruff Endz]
Every part of me, every thing I've done
is still there, still there, still care, ohhh
Always been there baby
I don't wanna, and I don't wanna cry no more baby
And I love, and I love and I love you girl

[Chorus (+ ad libs)]

[
:]
He took advantage of your love
And he threw it all away
He broke your tender heart
Words can't express what you wanna say
But deep inside you know
That there's someone out there for you
Who'll love you tenderly
And turn your gray skies into blue
So tell me girl

[
:]
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl?
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl

I know it's hard to start again
To find somebody new
But don't you be afraid
Rough times don't last but true lovers do
As the night follows the day
Some you win and some you lose
But don't give up on love
Sometimes you clear the old to get to the new

[
:]
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl?
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl

Let me dry your eyes
I am here for you
You are not alone
I know what you're going through

So sad
Baby girl, oh, baby girl
Wipe your tears away

[
:]
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl?
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl
Why do you look so sad, baby girl, baby girl
It couldn't be so bad, baby girl, baby girl

Whhhhhhhoooooooaaaaaa

GOT TO GIVE IT UP
Marvin Gaye

(background sound of people partying throughout)

I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right
. . . .
(repeat and fade):
Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

Nahwhatimean? We about to get it popping, let's go!

[Chorus: Ghostface Killah]
Tell your crew to be easy, niggaz run around

In the house, put the record on replay

[Ghostface Killah]

Everytime you go uptown, you get jipped, uh

You be at home, nigga, beating your dick, uh
I'm in the club with the chipped up wrist, uh
You at the bar, whoadie, drinkin' my piss, uh

They try to save you, sware to God, I hit the nurse up
Like "Nah, doc, he look better in a herse truck"

Gotta get that cheese, gotta pimp that V
Gotta burn those leaves, and uh

Might know me from my wallabies
Pretty bitches got my number, y'all can dial me

And when I'm done, y'all can finger nail file me
Floss the ill robes since Criminology
Supreme Clientele, put the world on top of me
Yo babe, hurry up, with those collard greens
I represent S.I., ain't as wild as me
They lousy, I'm phat like a pound of cheeba weed brownies
Tone got the powder squeeze, don't surround me
Quick to pick a honey up, shit, the flow's Bounty
Ya'll can just crown me!

[Outro: Ghostface Killah]
Yeah, that's right
I like to thank y'all for coming out tonight
