Make the world like a dream
Make the world like a fable
Make the world like a story
Gold at the end of rainbows

Make the world like a dream
Make the world like a fable
The world like a story
Fairy tales and castles

I seen it done it ran run it
Been to the bottom and I came back from it
That will be a pain in the pit of my stomach
Don't regret a thing just to keep it one hundred
I up in the drama and the bad news
I been to struggle and the blam blues
I shed tears over sudden
Seen a relly blow up real as it really gets

Rain starts pourin and it don't stop
Let myself drown no I will not
Smile on my pretty mug
I get right back on my horse and I giddy up
Im in the sky and I wont drop
Have a piece of my pie no you will not
But if you feel like me
And it is what it is then whats it gone be tonight

Tell em baby I'm a star tonight
Im up in the sky tonight
For the world to see

Cuz baby im a star tonight
Im up in the sky tonight
So give me one more dream
Cuz im shinin shinin shinin

I seen it done it gave my all to it
No fight did it how you wanted to do it
Under the weather love fell like a fluid
Through it you blew it and im feelin brand new and so
Look in the mirror and I see me
Tell me exactly who I wanna be
So tonight's a celebration
Raisin a toast to me bein happy

Rain starts purin and it don't stop
Let myself drown no I will not
Smile on my pretty mug
I get right back on my horse and I giddy up
Im in the sky and I wont drop
Have a piece of my pie no you will not
But if you feel like me
And it is what it is then whats it gone be tonight

Tell em baby I'm a star tonight

I wake up in the morning
Ready to get it on
I'm going about my business
Watch me while I go
It's all about me
(No it's not about you)
I got to believe
(I got to get through)
I gotta do me
(I'm good on my own)
The feeling's so free
(It's making me strong, oh oh)

I can't run out of time here
I won't get left behind
I was booked to rise here
So I'm staying on my grind
(I love what I do and I'm doing just fine)
My destiny is calling
And it won't pass me by
I'ma do me for me
Watch me while I do succeed, oooh

I'm gotta be my one and only
One and only
I'll be my own number one
I'll be my number one
I'll put me first, like you don't do
No second place,
No number two
There's only room for one
I'll be my number one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

When nine to five is over
I'm working on my frame
I got to stay in shape now
No half stepping in my lane
I'm so fly
(I'm a beautiful queen)
I'm going for the sky
(It's within my reach)
Love me or leave me
(Pain me or choose me)
I'ma survive
(Even if you lose me)
Yeah (oh)

You had so many chances
To be on my side
Through root of circumstances
You threw in at fly
(I've been through fire
And wind and rain)
I know that I'ma lose it
But I won't go insane
Pressing on with all my might
I can see the end in sight

I'm gotta be my one and only
One and only
I'll be my own number one
I'll be my number one
I'll put me first, like you don't do
No second place,
No number two
There's only room for one
I'll be my number one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm running and I'm running
(Ohohoh, ohohoh, oh, oh)
I won't be beat, I won this
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ohohoh, oh oh)
I am a champion
There's only room for one
Victory is all I'll see
So no dream, it's a reality

I'm gotta be my one and only
One and only
I'll be my own number one
I'll be my number one
I'll put me first, like you don't do
No second place,
No number two
There's only room for one
I'll be my number one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm gotta be my one and only
One and only
I'll be my own number one

One and only
I'll be my own number one

I'll put me first, like you don't do
No second place,
No number two
There's only room for one
I'll be my number one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody close your eyes
You can see the world tonight
Society is fine
And there's enough to eat

Why do I wanna miss my train,
Stay in bed so late,
Every single day
Why do I feel my heart skip a beat,
Whenever your next to me,
Tell me how could this be
I don't know why I feel the way I do
I really can't explain it, but I know it's true
They say that I can have it all,
But all I want it you
I don't know why but I do,
I don't know why but I do

Why do my friends keep on questioning
Out of all the men
Why am I with him
They say that I'm just a fool in love,
But what they don't know
I'm the lucky one
If they could only see it threw my eyes,
They probably look away
Cause you shine so bright
Its hard for me to justify
What love can be defined
I don't know why but I do,
I don't know why but I do

Oh many are amazed by the way
You know just what to say
Every time you look at me that way
Or touch my face
Or call my name
I can't help myself
I never fell under a spell
Oh I never felt the way I feel about you
I don't know why but I do

I don't know why I feel the way do
I really can't explain it
But I know it's true, yeah
They say that I can have it all,
But all I want it you
I don't know why but I do,
I don't know why but I do,
I don't know why but I do

[Chrisette Michele]
Oh American citizen, come collect your freedom
no matter what your living in
no more giving in
Oh American citizen, come collect your freedom
no matter what you're living in
it's time to win

keep us in the four walls of our childrens will be quiet
most of us aint even democratic or Republic
can, and by coincidence we love the elected until the detected of being human
American falls, minorities lose war
but if we unite we would have won the war
on poverty
on drugs
on medicated
on love

Freedom isn't given it is taken
freedom isn't free it's earned
not, no, it's learned
been hung and burned,
yet rest in peace, resurrected plea
this aint black or white, it's grey
this is not about my face
most of us don't know what to say
right from wrong, I'm free from slaves

Let freedom reign
do you wanna be free or do you wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
free,
let freedom Reign
(repeated)

[Talib Kweli]
America the beautiful
suspect as usual
liberty and death give me freedom on my funeral
I walk across the planet with the steps of a giant
my rhymes bridge the gap between religion and science
cause my evidence is spiritual
I know my sheer presence is a miracle
I wasn't supposed to be here to share with you
but here I am, standing with my chest out
I take my place in history I never get left out
You stressed out and scared so it's causing you to act hard
freedom aint free, gotta put it on my black card
my passport claim I'm an American citizen
the constitution said I'm three fifths
I'm not a semi and gorrilla
make my songs stronger than the horn of Gideon
truth is the ? gave the native people syphillis
Consider this: Christopher Columbus ain't know where he was goin'
So lets stop calling our Native brothers Indians

[Chorus]

[Black Thought]
We were carried here in shackles from the homelands
? chop, chain locked, brain washed, programmed
time's change, freedom reigns, I'm a grown man
holding the future in the palms of my own hands
in this World, the coonery and tomfoolery
all I'm trying to do is stay true to my community
the daily news aint the only thing that's schooling me
watching these haters operating with impunity
tis journey dollar signs, black and white collar crimes
running out of time, out of sight, out of mind
it gets realer and it's real in Palestine
troubles of the World start to seem intertwined
war criminals, conflict minerals, pillagers are coming home
and five star generals telling lies in press conferences and interviews
I'm trying to take back the power cause it's been abused

[Chorus]

[Chrisette Michele]
I'm just black in America
I'm not afro american
just a passive american
making belief I'm better than
what we've been, what we've been
I said
I'm just black in America
I'm not afro american
just a passive american
making belief I'm better than
what we've been, what we've been

Tell me why I'm living, some days my work seem so in vain.
I talk to you, you don't hear nothing that I say.
What's up with this game. Why am I so forgiving?
Why am I always checking for these fools? If he aint hearing none of home girl's rules.
Why do I play? I'd rather play alone
Oh, I can't play a fool anymore, no
No, I don't need a game anymore, you could play the fool
I'ma play my hero, you go be a zero
Ohhh, I'd rather play alone, Oh, I can't play a fool anymore
Noo, no I don't need a game anymore, you could play the fool
I'ma play my hero, you go be a zero
I'm playing the goodbye game,

Hit the highway, call you a cab, gimme back my keys
Goodbye to baggage, you ain't bagging me
I'm gonna smile when I wave, goodbye baby
I can take the low road
Ain't got no pride I ain't putting up a fight
Get out the boxing ring cuz she KOed tonight
walk that way, I'd rather play alone, Oh I can't play a fool anymore
No I don't need a game anymore, you could play the fool
I'ma play my hero, you go be a zero Ohh, i'd rather play alone,
Oh, I can't play a fool anymore, No, no I don't need a game anymore
You can play the fool, i'ma play my hero, you go be a zero
I'm playing the goodbye game,
We play the game until we lose it
Better to leave ya before I do, get ready fire
You are the cheater, and be a quitter, I'm still a winner
Ohhh, Ohh sing oh oh oh oh oh Ohh Ohh if it hurt so bad say oh
Oh, Sing one more time with me,
Oh, oh, oh, I just can't say the way I feel right now
Say oh, oh
One more time, oh
i'ma play alone
Oh,I can't play the fool anymore
No, I don't need a game anymore, you could play the fool
I'ma play my hero, you gonna be a zero
I'd rather play alone, I can't play a fool anymore
I don't need a game anymore, you could play the fool
I'ma play my hero, you go be a zero
I'm playing the goodbye game

[Rick Ross:]
Love is a powerful word
And you've been on my mind so much, lately
How can I say this?

I'm always late to diner days
Looking in her face
Marathon love making but she win a race
I live a certain life
It's hard for me to feel them safe
Toni Montana money quit the guard, at the gate.
Greeks and guards on the lawn, own the estate
Versace couches, sandals, candles, and matching plates
This picture is better than Boccia's greatest endeavor
I'm kissing shorty in the rain but I'm making her wetter.

[Chrisette:]
It beats every single time that I see your cell number showing up on my phone...
It beats every single time that you're near me,
I'm not ready yet, just leave me alone...
I feel deep in my veins, trying to say it's ok
But I ain't ready to go...
Without my permission my heart is all on a mission
It's got a mind of it's own

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my
I'm so in love
(And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so
So in love

[Chrisette:]
Pitta, pitta, padda, padda,
Everything is scatta scatta
Something is the matter with me.
Boom like a radio
Loud like a stereo
This is how my heart beats
It's like a broke record, but I can't eject it feels like it's on repeat.
I got a confession
Love is my new obsession
My heart's talking to me
She said: boom boom boom

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus:]
I'm so...
So in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

[Rick Ross:]
I'm chilling court side, Jordan six rings.
You know we court side till we get our 6 rings.
We both on common ground, it ain't a big thing,
But when we come around they make it a big thing.
Still on the block in that drop chicken box,
They asking "what that is?" "is that a different watch?"
When I'm stunt mode, I gotta let the city watch.
Or it's the clear pore jet to a chillin spot.

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so sooo in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

I'm so in love [repeats to the end]

I got a way in finding all the wrong place to go
Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right time
That's I do so bad at life, if you need a friend to show you already know
If you got a lot of time to blow, I got the rest of the night
I suck at doing anything right I'm right ever
whatever you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Take a champagne glass to the rest of me
I know I make you so happy,..
But I'm the only life you got, ask the Lord
that he saved my soul some day
If God will come around my way, imagine if I pray,
I really don't wanna be this way,
but I'm not ever whatever
you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Is that what... you can't do a body
You gotta live with it you can't live without it
I'm trying to change I'm so sorry...
I'm not your friend, I'm your life
I'm not ever whatever you don't wanna have to depend
on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, oh oh, whatever whatever you don't want,
I can't be your friend my friend
Whatever, whatever, I'm not your friend, I'm just your life,
I'm your life.

Walk in these,
Here's a pair of shoes
I used to walk in fear,
Fear of leaving you
Scared to go, I stayed
Saying only what you let me say

Don't speak,
There's really no need, be quiet
I only want to hear the leaves
Beneath your feet
We said this all before
Close the door
Close the door

Don't go on, go away
I've got no more words to say
End the song
No we can't go through the pain
Yeah you tried, take a break
If I'm wrong then that's ok
If you've got something to say
Too bad
It's better left unsaid
(Said, said, said
Unsaid, said)

Pull the plug,
Don't resuscitate
Let it die quick, no drugs
Rather pain than lies,
We both will agree
We both disagree,
So let's agree,
Let's be free

Don't go on, go away
I've got no more words to say
End the song
No we can't go through the pain
Yeah you tried, take a break
If I'm wrong then that's ok
If you've got something to say
Too bad
It's better left unsaid (said)
Said (said) said (said)
Said (un) said (said) said (said) said, said

Why you wanna kill me
With your lips
Won't you rather love me
With your kiss
I could be better
Without this Ohohoh, ohohohoh
Loving you used to
Be such bliss
If you give me hell
I will not miss
These, words,
They hurt ohhhhh

Don't go on, go away
I've got no more words to say
End the song
No we can't go through the pain
Yeah you tried, take a break
If I'm wrong then that's ok
If you've got something to say
Too bad
It's better left unsaid
(Said, said, said
Unsaid, said)
It's better left unsaid
(Said, said) Whoo-ohoh (said)
Ohohoh (Unsaid, said)
It's better left unsaid

If there were no record labels
No radios or TVs
No magazines, no MTV
No Channel E! to see

Would I even tell my story?
Would I even sing my song?
If nobody sang along
Would I take the time to write it?
Would I say what's on my mind?
If nobody sang along

Who's all this for?
Is it my song or yours?
Am I the superstar or are you?
I feel so judged
Like I'm on trial
But if you aren't around,
Would I gotta tell the truth?

Would I even tell my story?
Would I even sing my song?
If nobody sang along
Would I take the time to write it?
Would I say what's on my mind?
If nobody sang along

Maybe I like being played on the radio
Maybe I like being just like the other girls
Maybe I wish I was in more media
Maybe I need to just say what I wanna say

(Maybe I should tell) maybe I should tell my story
(Maybe I should sing) maybe I should sing my song
And somebody just might sing along
Maybe if I only write it
And just say what's on my mind
I'd be all over your TV screen
The radio would play what I believe
(What I believe, yeah)
If I just say whats inside of me
I might set somebody free
If I just be Me

Come with me to find
What everybody wants in life.
Do you know where it hides?
I don't.

Here I am one more time
With the same damn lives.
Is this really love?
Who knows.

I tried to understand
Who knows all there is to know?
Who knows how love is supposed to go?
Have somebody found it all?
Tell me please
Here I am down on the floor.
Am I doing this so wrong?
Tell me something if you know.
'Cause I know nothing.

Everything feels so right
Yet everything feels so wrong
Will this always be my song?
Say no.

We fight and then we don't
We laugh just to cope
Is this some sick joke?
Who knows.

I tried to understand
Who knows all there is to know?
Who knows how love is supposed to go?
Have somebody found it all?
Tell me please
Here I am down on the floor.
Am I doing this so wrong?
Tell me something if you know.
'Cause I know nothing.

There's gotta be a voice out there who answer prayers.
Answer me if you can.
'Cause You know all there is know
You know how love supposed to go
And I know you found it all
So tell me now please.
Here I am down on the floor
I know I'm doing this so wrong
Tell me something cause you know
God I know nothing.
