Альбом Ashanti

(feat. Method Man, Paul Wall)

[Irv Gotti:]
There can only be one, Ashanti... Murder Inc.

[Paul Wall:]
(Paul Wall, What It Do?)
It's the Houston Hard Hitter out the 713, it's "The People's Champ," Paul Wall,
yeah that's me.
Come take a ride with a playa out the 'Lone Star State'.
I'm just a hustler on the grind known for gettin' that cake.
I came up from the bottom, now i reside at the top.
I used to run away from cops, but now it's benzes i cop.
I used to post up on the block like Yao Ming in the paint, but now i pimp the
parkin' lot, drivin' slow n sippin' drank.
With Ashanti on my side as i glide like Clyde, and nothin' less than 24 inches
of chrome on my ride.
It's just somethin' bout the way I tip 4s and grip grain and got these boppers
on the sidelines goin insane.
I got 'em moanin', my mackin' game is outta control, but i don't know if it's my
looks or my big bank roll.
I'm 24 years old with my mouth all gold, my games cold and now the stories been
told.
It's Paul Wall, baby (baby).

[Ashanti: (Verse 1)]
See i don't know why (why)
I'm feelin' just the way i do (do)
It's been a long time (time)
I thought that i was over you, but now you're coming around again
I'll be remembering what you said
I just can't take it, and i don't wanna go back, oh no.

[Chorus:]
What is a girl to do, if she's still on it, yes
If she done been there before with you, and now she don't want it, yeah
We've spent time and time again.
I just wish this thing would end.
Tell me, what is a girl to do, if she's still on it.

[Verse 2:]
Whenever we talk (talk)
It feels like we had somethin' strong (strong)
And knowin' it's wrong, we tried to do this thing before, but when you coming
real close to me
Bringing back all of them memories
I just can't fake it, but i don't wanna go back, oh no.

[Chorus]

[Method Man:]
(uhn, yeah)
Auntie Ashanti's a problem, this track here's a problem.
The best thing rockin' since that cotton came to Harlem.
Meth darlin', I'm like that Hershey with the almonds, and i don't pay for nothin',
but your pardon.
They start and I finish.
My animals is starvin' for dinners
Straight up menace, y'all don't get involved in my business.
Look, I witness, spotted like a blemish, off gimmicks.
I'm 59/50 authenic.
Tilted with that NY on it.
There's money to be made, and i want it.
See, my palm been itchin' for the longest, so scratch that, paper like NASDAQ.
We laughed that life, roll the dice, get the cash back, I'm nice.
Plus, I got the juice, so i goes well with ice.
Been drug tested 3 times failed it twice.
Ashanti, you doin' it big, don't hurt 'em auntie.
Matter fact, you killin 'em girl, you're murder mami.

[Chorus]

[Irv Gotti:]
hahahahaha...yeah
Paul Wall, Swisha House
Method Man, Wu Tang
Ashanti, the one and only princess
We get back at you in 2006... It's Murda

[Ashanti:]

[SPOKEN INTRO]
Ah, I just want you to know that throughout it all,
It's only you that stuck behind me
And for that, I thank you, I love you
Ashanti

[HOOK]
Ooh, I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I just can't leave you alone

[VERSE 1]
Boy you got me doing things that I would never do
And I can't stop the way I'm feeling if I wanted to
I'm crazy 'bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldn't have you, I would probably go insane

[CHORUS]
Only you can make me feel (Only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (Only you can take me there)
And only you can make me feel (Only you, only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (Only you can take me there)

[HOOK]

[VERSE 2]
Boy you stay inside my mind there ain't no denying that (denying that)
And only you can do them things that got me coming back
It's got to be the realest thing that I have ever felt
And I'll do what I got to do to keep you to myself

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Crazy 'bout the way you feel
I just gotta have you here
And I wanna let you know
I won't ever let you go

[CHORUS]

[HOOK]

I love you [x4]

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

[Verse #1]
Nobody ever bring the joy you bring to me
You make me feel the way you do
And there aint nothing like your love
That sometimes makes you stop and think like
Do I deserve such a love that can now move heaven and earth
For my lovin I could never surround my life without the things
That you provide ever since you came into my life
And it feels like my whole world is happening
I cant stress how much I've been blessed
See what you came and done to me
You make my life complete
I know sometimes I might forget
That even when I dont say it
You know that I mean it I

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

[Verse #2]
See I dont minding wake up everyday and see your face
And wanting to lay inside your arms
Cause there aint nothing like your touch
It's so good never seems like enough
I didnt know that a love could grow and take over your soul
Dont advise much more
Only when you're apart if feels like living life is hard
Your entire world just seems so dark
Then it lights up cuz you are my shining star
And I dont know what I'd do without you
See what you came and done to me
You make my life complete
I know sometimes I might forget
But even when I dont say it
You know that I mean it I

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

[Bridge]
When you love somebody
You can share everything
Because you understand that you'll be right there
Anytime, any place, anywhere
When you love somebody
You can be only me
If they cry you'll be right by their side
To make everything alright

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

I love you [x3]

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

(featuring Charli Baltimore, Ja Rule, Hussein Fatal)

[Intro:Ashanti]
Yeah
Murder Inc.
We invite you to… epic, ya know?
We make music out of a sense of hunger
Sort of a desire
Through that desire
We expose the pain and struggle
But we accustom to live it
So, we feel without this music, we have nothing
So we offer you, well… we offer you our lives
So how you gon' take it?

[Verse 1: Ashanti]
See everybody wanna rise to the top these days
[Top these days]
A lot of people might come and try to take your place
[Take your place]
Oh you know that
All you gotta do is keep rising, rising
Don't look back and keep shining, shining
I had a little struggle
I had a little pain
Now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain

[Verse: 2 Rap Charli Baltimore]

[Chorus:]
Rain on me (rain on me)
Lord wont you take this
Pain from me
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breath till you just
Rain on me (rain on me)
Lord wont you take this
Pain from me
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breath yeah

[Verse 2: Ashanti]
I stop and think how life could be so raw
[Be so raw]
Sometimes I just don't wanna fight no more
[Fight no more]
Oh you know just
All you gotta do is keep rising, rising
Don't look back and keep shining, shining
I had a little struggle
I had a little pain
Now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain

[Rap]

[Chorus:]

(Feat. Cadillac Tah)

[Cadillac Talking]

[Ashanti]
See you might think it's so easy to be me
And live this life I live
But they can't see all this pain that I went through
And that's just how I'm built
Cuz they can't
Ever take away my shine
Cuz they can't
Ever take away my pride
And I won't hide behind no tears
It's what I know
Cuz I'm still here

[Chorus]
Now tell me are you down
Down for a girl like me
Cuz I don't wanna be
Just another memory
Said tell me are you down
Down for a girl like me
Cuz I don't wanna be
Just another memory

[Ashanti]
Now something that I don't deserve on my status
As if I didn't sweat, blood and tears to have it
And grab this so I don't know why they mad at
And blast it cuz me and my team we make magic
So Ima keep smilin, my minds, my focus I played
Just to win with this pad and this pen and this musical
On me, behind me, we won't stop, we can't stop
See it'll never rain

[Chorus]

[Cadillac Tah]

I'm focus man yo Free why don't you holla at me man

[Free:]
Now who else but me slim waist with that swag
Get on G five plans and fly fast
If it ain't G's no I'm not there
I've been on TV straight for five years
Lets keep it real I cant lie to yall my eyes are now something like binoculars
You put a dollar on my hand I'ma part of any plan
I'm focus yall niggas need to holla at me man

[Verse 1]
He use to touch me, love me,
Hug me, kiss me, Hold me everyday.
I never thought that I'd be finding out
That you gave your love away.
Now how do you expect for me to
Stay, wake up,
Everyday with this on the brain.
So Imma say thanks
And Imma be on my way.

[Chorus]
Now I've got my head right.
I can finally say good bye
To all the lies, and the lonely nights
So Focused

Now I've made up my mind
You were just a waste of time
But now I'm fine
Cuz I'm focused you out of my life

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

[Verse 2]
I never thought that
You would treat me
Like I'm just another girl.
Thought I was something to you
Something new.
Its me and you against the world.
But now i see this wasn't real
Just another game tryna play the field
So Imma let go
And Imma move on my own

[Chorus]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

Not concerned about
What nobody else gotta say
Just do what you do
Cuz they gonna talk anyway
Yea
Just stick with what you do
But remember to
Do it just for you
So don't even waste ya time
Keep it out cha mind
And stay on ya grind

Now you all should know I'm focused so boy don't try to tell me
In that 4 door Bentley its oh so pretty they call me a gorilla when I'm on my grizzly
And I don't need a honey to be all that I can be
Last seen on the cover of KING by the way names Free but yall still gotta pay
Those ones I'm making it just explains that I'm focus
And that's an under statement and I don't know what someone was thinking
If I'm not mistaken I heard his little heart was akin he aint sleeping the same the people done changed
You dead nigga the reaper came and now sad nights but we can have a bed fight
Get the head right every night
Do what you supposed to do playa I approach you cause I'm so focus now nigga

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now
