1.T-Shirt

Trying to decide, trying to decide if I
Really wanna go out tonight
I never used to go out without you
Not sure I remember how to
I'm gonna be late, gonna be late but,
All my girls gonna have to wait cause
I don't know if I like my outfit
I tried everything in my closet
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
Ima step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay, with nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on

Hey, gotta be strong gotta be strong but,
I'm really hurting now that your gone
I thought maybe I'd do some shopping
But I couldn't get past the door and
Now I don't know, now I don't know if
I'm ever really gonna let you go and
I couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down torn up about it
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
Im'a step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay, with nothing but your T-shirt on

I'm all by myself, with nothing but your T-shirt on
Ohhh, with nothing but your T-shirt on
(Cause I miss you cause I miss you)
With nothing but your T-shirt on (said I miss you baby)

Trying to decide, trying to decide if
I really wanna go out tonight I
Couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down torn up about it
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
Im'a step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay

Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you (cause I miss you)
Im'a step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay (I would be in bed)
With nothing but your T-shirt on

Said I got nothing but your T-shirt on
Hey (cause I want to be close to you)
With nothing but your T-shirt on
I remember when you would like to see me
With nothing but your T-shirt on
Hey (nothing but your T-shirt on)
Let me tell you know (nothing but your T-shirt on)
With nothing but your T-shirt on (fades)


2.Battle Cry

We've been deep in the trenches
Ain't that friendship
If I don't weighs roses (But)
Everybody knows this
We stuck in this battle field
I know just how you feel
Standing up for us (Yeah)

You give me hope (hope)
You give me strength (strength)
I'd give you better than I could give myself
Always know that (that)
I got your back (your back)
Don't matter wherever
As long as were together
We've been through too much
Time for us to group up

This is our battle cry
Promise you that I'm certified

Hey Hey Hey

It's so hard when the night falls
And i don't get your phone calls
You're everything to me
You heal me when these bullets go through me
And if I had to retreat
I know you'll fall back with me
And if you got problems
You already know who's going to solve 'em
You give me hope (hope)
You give me strength (strength)
I'd give you better than I could give myself
Always know that (that)
I got your back (your back)

Now I don't need to sound so monotonous
If you need something from me

3.Superwoman

When I was young
And a light had only begun
to shine down on me
I've been blind now I started to see
I don't have to be right
There's no power in empty passion
Lost the taste of the fire
Find the strength to be out of fashion
Everybody knows me
You're the one who won't hear my story
Give it to you for free
You're the man who won't share my glory
Sing it out, let it out
For the first time these words have spoken
Mean something so I can love again
Shout it out, turn around
Tell the whole world the spell is broken
Break these chains
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human
When I'm so 'bout to face
Give me faith so I'm not afraid
To take what you give
When you need
I'm starting to live
I don't have to be right
There's no power in empty passion
Lost the taste of the fire
Find the strength to be out of fashion
Everybody knows me
You're the one who won't hear my story
Give it to you for free
You're the man who won't share my glory
Sing it out, let it out
For the first time these words have spoken
Mean something so I can love again
Shout it out, turn around
Tell the whole world the spell is broken
Break these chains
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human
And your eyes when they turn
As they stare and they burn
But they don't see me
It was getting too much
And it started to touch my insanity
Sing it out, let it out
For the first time these words have spoken
Mean something so I can love again
Shout it out, turn around
Tell the whole world the spell is broken
Break these chains
I'm only human
Sing it out, let it out
For the first time these words have spoken
Mean something so I can love again
Shout it out, turn around
Tell the whole world the spell is broken
Break these chains
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human (ohhh)
No superwoman (ohhh)
I'm only human


4.Cold Cold Summer

Shiver
I'm walking through this blizzard alone (without you)
I'm so cold
It's summer and my heart is frozen

It's 98 degrees outside but I can't feel the sun
The only thing that keeps me warm these cigarettes and rum
Frozen tears fall from my eyes like icicles in mid-July
I slowly start to lose my mind
I'm Snow-blind in summer time
Both his eyes has got me slipin', slipin', slipin'
Chills since you've been gone has got me tripin', tripin',
tripin'
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)

Weatherman says 'good news go on out and and catch a tan'
So why am I still shivering, I just don't understand
Rainbows in the sky and me, on the dark side of the moon
In my world the trees are bare a hint of snow is in the air
Both his eyes has got me slipin', slipin', slipin'
Chills since you've been gone has got me tripin', tripin',
tripin'
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)
So cold
Ohhh (Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)

Write your name across my windowpane
But the frost covers it up again
When you are by my side
We were burning up in winter time
But the flame's gone out since you went away
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)
It's going to be a cold, cold, cold, summer, without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)

Rainbows in the sky and me, on the dark side of the moon
In my world the trees are bare a hint of snow is in the air
Can't do this without you
(Cold, cold summer)(Cold, cold summer)
Looking outside there's nothing but stormy weather

6.Life Is Not An Easy Road

Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know, it seems you lose the battle more and more
(It seems you lose the battle)
Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up
Never give up. Don't let go
Hopeless youths them out in a de street
And them no have no job so just to win they have to cheat
Tell me why so many see it and don't speak
And why they'll never find a peaceful home they can retreat
And them can find no food to eat
And where you lay your head them have a bed of concrete
And your momma she ah-cry when she ah-see it
It's not a revolution just a cycle that repeats, cause
Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know, it seems you lose the battle more and more
Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up
Never give up. Don't let go
See the sunshine will come one day
And prejudice and inequality will fade away
Man will not judge man but he will say
It's time to love my neighbor as my brother and not hate
And the world will unite as one
And governments eliminate all chemicals and bombs
We will no longer have to run
The uprising has only just begun, so hear me song
Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know, it seems you lose the battle more and more
Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up
Never give up. Don't let go
.....
You see them little youth a-cry them have cold feet
Them prostitute them life them ah so them world get defeat
Them politicians try fight take your life you see
But just trust you will survive and keep your dignity
Never mind how them a-treat you never mind what them a-say
Keep you eyes on tomorrow but you live for today
You stop you drop you roll to save your soul
You never let them take it away
Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know, it seems you lose the battle more and more
Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up
Never give up. Don't let go
Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know, it seems you lose the battle more and more
Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up
Never give up. Don't let go


7.Focus Pon Me

I've been looking at you wondering if you even got
What it takes inna no you take me easy
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me
From the most things I got you can't do it like me
There is no other
You a-watch and a-stare and a-wish
That this gal could'a be your baby momma
So watch me slow grind and a-wine
And in time never step outta line, baby
Make you bod all night feel the wickedest wine (focus everytime)
So watch me slow wine baby
While I wine and dine baby
Make your mouth water with this heat
Me done work it, what is your weakness
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me
Show it back, make it hot, take it right down for me
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me
Move it round, toss it down, give it all you got baby
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me (what)
Left right, left right, left right, focus pon me (what)


8.Plastic People

Carry me home away from all these things
That keep deceiving me
I'm all alone nowhere no one
To show me where to go
Take my money wear my shirt
Using me to do your dirt
Judging me when all the time
You're the one who did the crime
Someone tell me what's the truth
Save the children, save the youth
What about our hopes and dreams
You're not what you really seem oh
Nation of the plastic people
Here's the church and here's its people
Preaching good and doing evil
Trying to treat you less than equal
Saying this and meaning that
Twisting a knot into your back
Don't be cast into the sequel
Living in a nation of plastic people

Just like a rose I wanna grow
So I can serve my purpose here
I wanna fly before I die
Be like a bird and touch the sky
Take my home, and take my name
Generation cellophane
There's no difference all the same
I don't know when I'm ashamed
Can you walk inside my shoes?
Don't be mad if I refuse
Artificial attributes,
Different leaders same old news
Nation of the plastic people
Here's the church and here's its people
Preaching good and doing evil
Trying to treat you less than equal
Saying this and meaning that
Twisting a knot into your back
Don't be cast into the sequel
Living in a nation of plastic people

What do you know,
It's a situation begging for salvation
Looking to the sky to answer to all my frustration
There's a choice I'm making
And there's a chance I'll take it
It's the only life I got to live so I can't fake it
Yeeaahhh
Ohhhh
Generation.
Restoration.
Demonstration.
Provocation.
Population.
Segregation.
Isolation.
Suffocation.
Degradation.
Desolation.
Living in a plastic nation.
Nation of the plastic people
Here's the church and here's its people

Trying to treat you less than equal
Saying this and meaning that
Twisting a knot into your back
Don't be cast into the sequel
Living in a nation of plastic people
Generation.
Restoration.
Demonstration.
Provocation. (plastic people)
Population.

Isolation.
Suffocation. (plastic people)
Segregation.
Isolation.
Destination of the nation.
Degradation.

9.I Crave You

Traveling down this rocky road
So hard to do it all alone
So I really need you
To help me to move along
All my sunshine's gone away
All my blue skies turning gray
It's like the ocean's all dried up and empty (empty)
So I really hope you understand
All the reasons why I can't pretend
That I don't need your love
And I can't ever break the chains
I crave you, I breathe you, I taste you
I see you in my dreams
I'll never replace you, escape you, crazy as it seems
You said you'll never go any where
But every time I look around boy you gonna dissapear
Still I cry still I try to save you
Baby boy I crave you (crave you)
Don't you know I love you
Don't you know I love you

So I see the sun rise
The tears falling from my eyes
Longing for you baby
And it makes my world so crazy
Oh now the pain is killing me, baby can't you save me
Won't you come, come to me, to me
Cause you got me trapped inside and now I can't escape
I'm scarred so deeply and now I can't erase the pain
I crave you, I breathe you, I taste you
I see you in my dreams
I'll never replace you, escape you, crazy as it seems
You said you'll never go any where
But every time I look around boy you gonna dissapear
Still I cry still I try to save you
Baby boy I crave you (crave you)
Don't you know I love you

Boy text me for a while
Why you coming at me
It brings so much struggle and I strive
Karma brings so much pain ain't I'm in lie
Me sing still
You said you would'a never hurt me, never lie
And I never wanna splurt from in and I'm in lie
Still you only come and ah-use me (and ah-use me)
And it breaks me hard still you abuse me (you abuse me)
You got me hanging like a puppet from a string
You was the only ting I take control and I'm in lie
So why you coming at me ups 'n moving
You gonna turn me like some kinda Ara movie
What kind of thing you bring to all me suffering,
And still me wanna sing
Do anything to obviou
Me sing, me sing -me really, really, really love you
I crave you, I breathe you, I taste you
I see you in my dreams
I'll never replace you, escape you, crazy as it seems
You said you'll never go any where
But every time I look around boy you gonna dissapear
Still I cry still I try to save you
Baby boy I crave you (crave you)
Don't you know I love you
I'm begging you please don't leave me no no
I crave you, I breathe you, I taste you
I see you in my dreams
I'll never replace you, escape you, crazy as it seems


10.Ghetto Lullabye

Hush little shorty don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
Where shall I begin
To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn
No lies will be told,
with each day the truth will unfold
Picture if you can,
a mountain so high that you can't see the top
An ocean so wide,
you can see where it meets the sky
Well that's how far you're gonna have to go
Hold on tight shorty don't let go
Those rain will fall and those winds will blow
Out in those streets it can be so cold
Hush little shorty don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
I'm looking at you,
A picture of innocence framed within trust
Each river you cross,
filled with the unknown not so treasureous
All envy and greed,
Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed
An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy
No backstabbers and informers
Hate's a disease so let me warn ya
Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth
Lets all run fast when you see
Hush little shorty don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby

Ooooohhh
Dry your eyes don't you cry
Not tonight
If you just try you will find your sunrise
Hush little shorty don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby


11.Flesh And Bone

Baby take a minute let me sit you down
Been waiting for the time and the time is now
I think you should decide where you wanna be
Running in the streets or living here with me
Baby take a step back and look around
Gonna run yourself like you do the ground
You're not invincible and the fact is
Nothing's guaranteed but the darn taxes?
Control your pebble before he turn to stone
Boy you better listen for you're all alone
When the money's spent and all your friends are gone
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone (flesh and
bone)
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone

Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Is there any hope that you could ever be
More than just a fish in the sea
Cause baby after all if you get cut you're gonna bleed
Try to understand what I'm telling you
This is not a game don't you play the fool
I'm begging won't you hear my plea
This is not a theory it's reality
Control your pebble before he turn to stone
Boy you better listen for you're all alone
When the money's spent and all your friends are gone
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone (flesh and
bone)
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone (Then
you're gonna realize)

Living in this cold world never easy
'Life ain't no sweet bread' that's what my momma told me
I'm getting by and now I see what she mean
You need to settle down and stop living so extreme
I'm your woman and you know I'll always love you
I'll never do a single thing to exploit you
Life is so precious never take it for granted
How can I make you understand this baby
Control your pebble before he turn to stone
Boy you better listen for you're all alone
When the money's spent and all your friends are gone
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone (flesh and
bone)
Then you're gonna realize, you're only flesh and bone (Then
you're gonna realize)
