Альбом Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes

[Verse 1:]
Young woman confused
Young woman abused
You must understand
It's never too late to, lose who you are
And choose who you are supposed to be
Supposed to become
You've been in and out
Up and down, back and forth
Backwards around
Not a friend, not a mother, not a father
Just God and you should make a choice
What you ought to do
What matters most
Who you are to you
Opinions of the old and young
Shouldn't matter to you
Take advice think it over twice
Make a choice that helps you sleep at night
It's decent, but recently
Things have shown us
We have done the wrong things often
Never suicide, that's the easy route
There's always another way out
Think about it (think about it)

[Chorus (2x)]
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let you soul fall in love

You can fly

[Verse 2:]
Now see if you went through life with your eyes closed
You never would'a known there was a high road
Let people get the best of you and get mad at them
Instead of bein' mad at yourself
You're only number one in your life
And you will decide if it goes right
Every time you digress
Defeat your progress
Feed you knowledge, but you must digest
The controversy yo can get personal
They don't understand till the role reversal
Seekin' fame, play their games
Gave a whole lot for a whole little gain
Push comes to shove
Do you push or shove?
When the choice is yours
Do you leave or you love?
All the tears you cried, you're dyin' inside
When will you decide to survive

[Chorus (2x)]
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let your soul fall in love

You can fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly

[4x]
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let you soul fall in love

You can fly

[Intro: (4x)]
From Rags to Riches (riches)
Bet you I'mma be the richest

[Verse 1:]
I started off as an army brat (Atten-hut!)
Seven months, class act
I was racin' down the block
As a matter of fact
I could've been a track star (I guess I am)
I stacked bars
Comin' through your system in them phat cars (uh)
Cross country isn't that far
It's like I'm in the race, don't know who you cats are
See one day I fell from grace, landed in this place
My whole sh*t erased from talkin' back to my momma's face
Like I was lost in space
Without a trace, cuttin' class, bein' Mrs. Fast Ass
Gettin' blasted with dad, got caught up in the flash
My Nana goin' mad, had to make the dash
Saw a fell up in the streets
Did anything for cash
And anything to crash, in anybody's path
Gave everything I had
Took what I could grab (check it)
It was just a bunch of open rags

[Chorus (Bobby Valentino):]
This is the story in the life of a hustler
Running for the come up
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
So I guess I had to show up
Now everywhere I go
The people wanna know
They wanna know where I came from
Not havin' a pot to piss in
Stop and listen
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches

[Verse 2:]
I remember sellin' coke
Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk
Now I let my throat be the antidote
Always kept my hopes high
Now mama don't cry, 'cause I'll be close by
With the most high
I was playin' Robin Hood (in the hood)
Little Red Riding Hood
Til' the barrel pointed where I stood (yeah, I stood)
But walked away like I was absolutely positively sure I could
Attitude on f*ck it
Some dollars in the bucket
Been scheming steady dreaming
For a chance to make some duckets
Caused a little ruckus on the sideline
Fully reconstructed every guideline
From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day
Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday
Ran away from the sickness with a quickness
And went from rags to richness

[Chorus (Bobby Valentino):]
This is the story in the life of a hustler
Running for the come up
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
So I guess I had to show up
Now everywhere I go
The people wanna know
They wanna know where I came from
Not havin' a pot to piss in
Stop and listen
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches

[Verse 3 (Bobby Valentino):]
Man, I struggled so long
Did whatever it took me for me to get on
I wouldn't let nobody stop me
Even if they told me I can't
I said I'mma do it, watch me
And now I'm just living life lavish
Money, cars, and clothes
Yea I got to have it
It's been a long hard road to make it
In this business
But I told y'all I'll be the bestest

[Chorus (Bobby Valentino) (2x):]
This is the story in the life of a hustler
Running for the come up
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
So I guess I had to show up
Now everywhere I go
The people wanna know
They wanna know where I came from
Not havin' a pot to piss in
Stop and listen
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches

[Verse 1]
Untouchable
look at how you found me
I'm lookin' around sayin' these are my friends
It's a strange world my enemies are my friends
I'm on the same street, same world, same problems
Is it different?
Same drama, same karma, same mama
Is it different?
The only difference is me
I see inside the truth
Feel bad you don't know the day gon' come
When God has taken you
I see the invisible spirits, walkin' along the physical mind
Of a crazy individual
Where demons still find it livable
I need a hug to hold my soul inside my body
I got the secret here
Yeah, I should have told somebody
'Cause ever since I've been sayin' things I never meant
It's like I was speakin' in tongues, the black breath in my lungs
I won't allow it
Where the cowards live under the dirt and the flowers
Ready to come up in the darkest hour
It ain't the courage of my persona
You wanna admire it's the faith
'Cause with the faith I can walk through the fire
(Now feel me)

[Chorus]
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Echoing inside my soul
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Using the light from my wings that make us fly together

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm sinkin'
Thinkin' what it's like from on the other side
When I look at myself it's like my love had died
People thinkin' of gettin' richer
I'm usin' the blood of the loves that I lost recently
To paint a perfect picture
Can you see the future, future endeavors
That'll make us better
Usin' the light from my wings to make us fly together
Guide my people to a place like what we imagined
My duty now is to God
There's no more beauty pageants
With the creator, we getting the chance to thank 'em
Me and you finally for what they made us
Is it a game that we still playin'
Look at us now we're rid of grief
Payin' society's debt but life we still obeyin'
Until then I'll follow the path
Where will it lead?
Much in between ashes and dust
We must believe
Trickery ain't trickin' me
I got tricks up my sleeve
They tryin' to market I'm tryin' to make my mark before I leave

[Chorus]
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Echoing inside my soul
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Using the light from my wings that make us fly together

Untouchable
Echoing inside my soul
Echoing inside my soul

[Chorus]
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Echoing inside my soul
I know you feel me it's the untouchable
Untouchable
Make yourself presentable
I'm listening to mysteries of the untold
Using the light from my wings that make us fly together

Echoing inside my soul
Echoing inside my soul

[Intro:]
Exclusive sagas
Uh, yea, come on
We gonna do this one right here (I like this)
Lets just do it
See when I wanna do something I just do what I feel, ya know what I'm saying?
I just do it straight from the heart, so we can do it and do it
Lets go

[Verse 1:]
Nobody never understood me better
A true friend forever
That's why I'm writing you this love letter
Despite my ways through every phase
You brought me better days
Withstood the craze
From the beginning Windy hill the black Lennon
When I was saggin denim, and let you get up in em'
Until I damage when I selected
Another ni**a, but we managed to stay connected
When you expected to see me naked
I couldn't let it five years and your still respected
Now check it, give me a second to unwind
You'll find all the pain and misery it nearly blew my mind
Cant no fame and shivery compare to losing time
I'll explain my history aboard the cruise at nine
Don't be late, cuz I would hate to cross the seven seas
In the windy breeze, without your fantasies
Lets Do It

[Chorus:]
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)

[Verse 2:]
E-E-L-L-I-O-T-T, they call me Missy E, I'm C-U-T-E
You like the way I do it, I put my foot into it
Tell them haters that mad they cant do it like I do it
They used to call me fat, they used to say I'm ugly
But now im making records, groupies screaming that they love me
I got them dolla bills, I make a lot of cheese
Bet your bi**h cant do it like me
And when you see me in the club I'm lookin' fresh
And when you see me on the street I'm lookin' fresh
And when you see me on the town I'm lookin' fresh
I got my hair and my nails done and I'm so fresh
Baby, whatever you want to do, it's just so its up to you
Lets do what you want to do, Lets go

[Chorus:]
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)

Check it, anything that your heart desires
Lets Just Do It
And if you think it's gonna take you higher
Lets Just Do It
Anything that your mind can see
Lets Just Do It
And do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it

[Chorus:]
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, aww yea
Lets just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, (Lets Just Do It)

Remember way back in the day (hey hey)
When the kids from around the way
Used to come out and play
And the double dutch bus
Had you bumpin' on down the street
Tryin' to move your feet
While you shake your little booty
To the groove of the beat (uh)
To the beat
To the beat (beat)
You hit the corner and you stopped
Hey y'all there's a party on the other block
We hit the jackpot
Jackpot (what what)
And it's only 12 o'clock
And the sun is hot
Free soda pop
We about to rock rock rock rock...

Chorus

Bridge:

From all over the world
And i do what i wanna do
Right foot left shoe
Then you take it on down
Then you shake it around
Bring it up
Clap your hands
Then you turn it all around

Chorus

Remember when we did the wop (pop pop)
And you used to make that head bop (bop)
Like it would never stop (stop)
And them other grown folks
Gettin' busy with the gigolo
Drinkin' michelob
It was 6am before they hit the road (uh)
Hit the road hit the road (road)

It's for the open minded

[Verse 1:]
Now
Now what do you believe?
Who do you receive?
Where do you go next?
And through what exit do you leave?
The questions that I believe confessions go to He
Count your many lessons and blessings that they bring
This is for my breed and all life that is conceived
Energy told me you manifest your destiny
What is energy?
It's what you eat
It's what you breathe
It's what you think
It permeates throughout your being
And serves a link to all other energies
That's anything and everything
Moving light that you have never seen
And light carries information
Without hesitation vibrations glean
Through the constellations, manifestation stimulated
Better destination, total creation realizations
And mental concentration
Alienated from the truth
Is why we conversated
Savin' the nation for the youth
Is for my observation

[Chorus (2x)]
It don't matter where you come from
If you're gone you like to run, run
Cause the past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?
I can make you (listen, listen)
Do you ever (listen, listen)
Past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?

[Verse 2:]
Let's touch on Christianity
I question all humanity
Is God so full of vanity?
That children enter this family
Who haven't yet to see that Jesus is the key
Or suffer this calamity, I cast you down for an eternity
Insanity
You can call me what you want to
But the man in me
Separated from this false reality
Would never be the victim of casualty
For my lack of understanding there's a guarantee
Spirituality hath immortality
No matter your status or nationality
What's your locality notice the fallacy
We all separated by principalities
Billions of galaxies and all you see is this
In the totality of eternal bliss
A life of sin it's all the thin

[Chorus (2x)]
It don't matter where you come from
If you're gone you like to run, run
Cause the past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?
I can make you (listen, listen)
Do you ever (listen, listen)
Past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?

You see, we like to make things complicated
You don't have to read books and go to church
To learn about God
And find answers
We don't know how to talk to each other
You know if we all, shut up, be quiet
Then we'll realize that we can really hear each other
And then you'll realize that you already have the answers

[Chorus (2x)]
It don't matter where you come from
If you're gone you like to run, run
Cause the past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?
I can make you (listen, listen)
Do you ever (listen, listen)
Past or the present
Here goes the future
What's your destiny?

You are my soldiers
Just bounce

Chorus 4x
When we bounce, you bounce
Lets make the club bounce

To the east what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the west what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the north what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the south what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’

Verse 1
I, come to deliver, a message so clear
Do or die, the consequences, ain’t nothing to fear
Who am I?
I be the giver, I ride with the wind
I’m beginning to redeliver, One deeper within
If you believe, won’t wait for long
Better stop, look and listen and pay attention to what’s goin on
Analyze and disguise before the bass is low
Recognize, the truth lies within this danger zone
When I say danger, my body emits
Chemicals straight to the brain so that I’m fully equipped
I contain my mental anger
By letting it rip
From the chords in my pores
To the rhymes I commit

Chorus 4x
When we bounce, you bounce
Lets make the club bounce

To the east what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the west what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the north what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the south what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’

Verse 2
A military mind
I pull up to the curb
Right to the valet
Then I walk right in the entrance
And the crowd is yelling “hey”
I got paid, so lets play, send the bartender my way
They say that money talks and I sure got a lot to say
Ask about me in the south
Mother nature say she proud
I been known to make it rain
Ben and Franklin erase the droubt
We don’t smack outside the club
I’m the hustle poster child
I Walk up to bank tellers
Then I pull my pistols out
Got so much jewelry security gon’ have to search me
Most people friendly but the ones who ain’t can never hurt me
A semi on the side, I’ma call it Eddie Murphy
Bet my pockets speak another language like: Iebadirtay
She thought it was a salad
She noticed all the karots
So vegetarian, all this green and all this cabbage
And I’m feelin’ like I’m the baddest
Get it if you wanna grab it
No need for words cuz ‘hustle’ to me is automatic

Chorus 4x
When we bounce, you bounce
Lets make the club bounce

To the east what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the west what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the north what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the south what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’

Verse 3
I hear em talking money but I ain’t seen nuthin
I’ll be bumpin at the gum shoutin: ‘He ain’t sayin nuthin’
First of all: I’m a ganster, I’m gon take yours
Big Willie in the game, I’m a pimp and you’re my whore
I declare, I swear, I ain’t seen nuthin hot
They keep talkin’ bout the cash, that’s all these n**gas got
I dun told ya’ll n**gas: ‘I’m back once again’
Here to take all these b*tches
I ain’t lookin for no friends
I’m a grinder, hustler, made it, done it
I’m the one that ain’t scared
Ya’ll n**gas don’t want it
Got a personal vendetta against all these mo-foes
Mentality of a killa on all these weak ho’s

Chorus 4x
When we bounce, you bounce
Lets make the club bounce

To the east what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the west what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the north what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’
To the south what you doin’?
We bouncin’, we bouncin’

[Verse 1]
The alarm clock rung
Momma woke her out the bed
She's gettin' dressed for school
Puttin' barrettes in her head
An honor roll student real smart
That's what they said
Every morning when she left
Mom would cook her grits and eggs
Pops worked two jobs
To bring in the bread
Momma stayed in the kitchen
And kept her well fed
Now here she go
Went to meet her friends
At the bus stop
On the avenue
That's when the old Cadillac dropped
The man that was drivin'
Snatched her up around 8 o'clock
While her friends and the bus driver
Waitin' down the block
No one heard her screamin'
He turned the bass up a notch
She was tampered with
Second floor in an abandoned spot
No telephone around
So she couldn't call the cops
He threw her in the bathroom
Made sure the door was locked
All she was thinkin'
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
All she was thinkin'
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
It's a damn shame

[Chorus - Wanya]
Damn shame
That someone
That someone would want to mess with you
And you just can't get them out your mind
Try to replace bad times with smiles
Let it out
Out right now
I know it's hard to talk about
You gotta keep going on with your life
Letting it out

[Verse 2]
The school bell rung
For the first hour of school
Her teacher called her moms
Cuz she thinks she's skippin' school
But if only they knew
What was really goin' on
She's cryin' for your help
While y'all talkin' on the phone
The teacher's on the wrong subject
Sayin' that she think she grown
Somebody call the police
Damn callin' up Tyrone
So her mother filed a report on her own
This is the description that she gave what was known
Fifteen
She was last seen
Standin' on the corner
Eatin' ice cream
At the bus stop
On 10th Street and Milly Ave.
Just a few feet
From the spot
Where she stayed
Pink mini skirt
And french braids
Hundred-ten pounds
What she weighed
5 foot 2
Eyes blue-grey

[Chorus - Wanya]
Damn shame
That someone
That someone would want to mess with you
And you just can't get them out your mind
Try to replace bad times with smiles
Let it out
Out right now
I know it's hard to talk about
You gotta keep going on with your life
Letting it out

[Verse 3]
Now back to the abandoned spot
Where she's tryin' to pick the lock
So he threw her in his 'lac
Ridin' with the doors locked
Drove her through the woods
That was right around the block
Dropped her off at the hospital
In the parking lot
The school bell rung
For the end of a class
At the same time
She was runnin' in the flash
To go and call her mother
But her mother isn't there
And when she finally seen her
Speculation filled the air
Her momma don't believe her
She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores
Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before
Her father didn't neither
Afraid to face the sticks and stones
And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on
It's a damn shame

[Chorus - Wanya]
Damn shame
That someone
That someone would want to mess with you
And you just can't get them out your mind
Try to replace bad times with smiles
Let it out
Out right now
I know it's hard to talk about
You gotta keep going on with your life
Letting it out

Let it go
Let it go
I know it's hard
But you should let it go
Life goes on and you should know
If you let it go
Let it go

Let it go
You should let it go
I know you'll make it
If you let it go
Life goes on and you should know
Let it go
Let it go

[Verse 1]
Been a minute since I seen you
I just been killin time
Lettin all these n**gas know
That you gon' always be mine
Disappeared and reappeared
We held it down through the years
All the crazy sh*t we been through
Can't take no more tears
Fell in love when I first met you
Put you all on my team
Introduced you to my crew
Told you my every dream
It was us against the world
Nobody could come between
Passionate, crazy, if you know what I mean
Can't wait to get back wit you soon as I come off tour
Musta felt me thinkin bout us there you are at the door
Both been doin our thing, but ain't a damn thing changed
Always, remember that
Love me through all the pain

[Chorus]
Borrowed Time
I feel the same
Yes in my eyes
It'll never change
You'll always be my sunshine
Lasting through my rain
True will never die
Real love is here to stay
Even through the pain

[Verse 2]
Remember we was twenty deep
We used to mob every show
Whole crew couldn't be faded
Straight untouchable flows
Faithful few stayed down
Whether I'm rich or I'm broke
Trees by the pound, take two tokes
Straight to the bar, serve my entourage
All eyes on us, know you seein' some stuff
In the club plus shoutin'
You would get cussed out
My crew, come through, too wile' no doubt
Anytime you ever needed me I always came through
Took your career inside my hands and represented for you
It's just a matter of time, before we all gon' shine
That's real, one love, representin' for mine

[Chorus]
Borrowed Time
I feel the same
Yes in my eyes
It'll never change
You'll always be my sunshine
Lasting through my rain
True will never die
Real love is here to stay
Even through the pain

[Bridge]
And I know no matter where I may go (may go)
You will always be the angel watching over my shoulder

Even if we're worlds apart I'm drawn to you
Baby it's ok, it's parta something we'll do

[Verse 3]
We started out this game together
Took it straight to the top
Grew from shorties into women
We was neva gon' stop
Just overpowerin' this industry like heavy weighters
Risk takers, the hit makers, and no mistakers
And my whole clique, so sick, like liquid butter-sh*t
We spit incredible MTV buzzclips
Full grown, off on our own, congratulations
On your newborn child and the weddin situation
No we still all know
That we live and we learn
Come through every situation crossin' bridges we burnt
And we still the biggest thing the industries eva seen
That's T-L-C: The Unstoppable Team

[Chorus]
Borrowed Time
I feel the same
Yes in my eyes
It'll never change
You'll always be my sunshine
Lasting through my rain
True will never die
Real love is here to stay
Even through the pain

[2x]
Even through the pain
We'll see brighter days
Cuz real love is hear to stay
Even through the pain

[Intro:]
This one right here goes out to everybody
And it doesn't matter who your are
Cuz I know that everybody has a friend

[Verse 1:]
What defines a friend, the meaning
Where does it lye
In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes
In the days, in the nights, well what is a friend
Do you love it and leave it again and again
So now our story begins of two little friends
You would have thought they were twins
Would have thought they were kiddin
Wouldn't think they can bend
Because all the time they would spend
For each other they would fend
For they friends to the end
Their mothers know mothers
Sisters know brothers
Mothers know fathers
Sons know they daughters
They blood thicka then water
If one had fifty cents they'd both have a quarter
That only makes sense, adjusting levels and all
They grew up together from pre-k to high school
Winters in the snow, summers in the pool
He's and athlete, she's an actress
But hormones would lead them...

[Chorus:]
You have been there, through thick and thin
Always beside me, you are my friend
More than money, fortune, or fame
Forever and ever, we will remain
We will remain friends

[Verse 2:]
Not furious just curious
She saw himself fit
Who better than the boo the girl grew up with
How bout the walks in the park
On the phone all night
Dreams like that she saw in plain sight
To his friends he's urgent
Simple fact she's a virgin
To her he'll be urging sexually let's merge
As you can see there's two different dreams
Her thoughts are so pure, his low as the floor
She's looking he's balking
Now walking and talking
Bout a new stage and phase
That they should embark in
So it came to that length
No dinner, no candlelight
The female exhales
Something doesn't feel right
She said it polite, honey please not tonight
Cuz he didn't get any, he got real malignant
Hit her, it hurt, her breath got suspended
Then he looked at his work not feeling:

[Chorus:]
You have been there, through thick and thin
Always beside me, you are my friend
More than money, fortune, or fame
Forever and ever, we will remain
We will remain friends

[Verse 3:]
Their meeting had ended
Feeling offended, he went and attended
To a counseling session
Now life is a lesson
Full of questions
Why be drowned down
Rather than manifested
Went to his friend right from the beginning
With tears in his eyes he said I apologize
She much obliged, made amends
Once again, they're friends to the end
Yea, it was true love again
As transparent as when
A parent is caring
What defines a friend
Where does it lye
In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes
In the days, in the nights, what is a friend
Did you love it and leave it again and again
In time in the sadness in the hurt in the pride
It's the person dispersing through the hands of time

[Chorus:]
You have been there, through thick and thin
Always beside me, you are my friend
More than money, fortune, or fame
Forever and ever, we will remain

You have been there, through thick and thin
Always beside me, you are my friend
More than money, fortune, or fame
Forever and ever, we will remain
We will remain friends

[Intro:]
Yo sis, I know you can hear me from up there
I rocked this track out just for us
Reigndrops in my left eye

[Verse 1:]
Deep in the thought spiritual sight
Which way would benefit me on the mic
Stress all around blocking my path
Have to stay used to regain my own balance
Stay confident, strait as an arrow
Walkin' the path that proclaims to be narrow
Through my adventures I see many shakes
See many come, see many wait
Just the right time to catch me off guard
Approaching me fake, don't think for a minute
That Lisa don't know what the hell's goin on
Just when you think that you got it your wrong
Breaking the norm beneath the rut
Given the way that ya'll think about cuts
Freakin the beats with the illest techniques
Im hitting the streets with a boom
Even though I can see clear that Reign has no fear
Yea, Reign has no fear
No fear thats here I'm too glad I was paid
To come and set the record straight
To blaze the path to fill in the gap
To way the industry from it's nap
To crush the whole mentality
And break up this monotony

[Chorus:]
Neva will eye eva want
Neva will eye eva will
Neva will eye eva beg
Neva will eye eva steal
Neva will eye eva break
Neva will eye eva deal
Neva will eye eva fear
Neva will eye eva kill

[Verse 2:]
So many signs involving the way that my life is portrayed through the eyes of others
This is the real deal, still what would you feel
Breaking the ice, darkness appears the fan is so close to my heals
No fears of chills I just stand relaxed
And feed off the way that the track remains
The ones in back that talk behind
That back and said I lack the flow
I ran out of gas, no get up and go
But all of a sudden I'm full of petrol
Make up your mind, and while you do that
I will freak my own words to cover ground
Lisa wont stop no fu***ng way
What ever you feel what ever you say
Superficial prejudice has taken precedence
Over the true identity of the core of our personality
Too many times we add up to the fad
Now its time I come and change up the math
I tell you I'm from one equal one
Its enough, Left eye show em' how its done

[Chorus:]
Neva will eye eva want
Neva will eye eva will
Neva will eye eva beg
Neva will eye eva steal
Neva will eye eva break
Neva will eye eva deal
Neva will eye eva fear
Neva will eye eva kill

[Verse 3:]
Just the right mold
Burst into flames
Spittin the hottest first thing to gain
Never know fear with no must
Never know blow in the dust
Never know hearing no word for word gust
The will to sit, a threat to set
My official was back
Absolutely negative facts
Taking and breaking the stopping the dropping
The fist, straight to the gut
Through the something the game that was needed
To change up everything ass is
Even though they don't want to know
Setting the tone, bringing it home
Telling my life through its own
That's completely set for me to roll
Even my thoughts would appear to be gone

[Chorus:]
Neva will eye eva want
Neva will eye eva will
Neva will eye eva beg
Neva will eye eva steal
Neva will eye eva break
Neva will eye eva deal
Neva will eye eva fear
Neva will eye eva kill

Neva will eye eva want
Neva will eye eva will
Neva will eye eva beg
Neva will eye eva steal
Neva will eye eva break
Neva will eye eva deal
Neva will eye eva fear
Neva will eye eva kill

[Intro:]
Oh oh oh, oh- oh- oh-
Oh oh oh, oh- oh- oh- (Let me live)
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh (Let me live)
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh (Let me live)
OH OH OH OH

[Verse 1:]
Ya'll never really know me from the stories I tell
From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell
Caught up in situations detrimental to me
And I been through every war just for the world to see
(That time) is always moving situations do change
(And Things) don't always work out just the way that we planned
(Still Stand) necessary be my friend and my foe
Either love me or you hate me, that's how the game goes
(If it's wrong) to be respected never ever say die
(Remain Strong) never neglected spread my wings and fly
(Like You) Ive been though struggles so much stress on my brain
Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
(Question every decision) My intentions were good
Twist the story all around and leave me misunderstood
(Imagine That) No privacy but that's the price of this fame
(Under attack) my destiny to be a soldier through fame

[Chorus:]
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always asking you will amazed
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always ask and you will amazed

[Verse 2:]
Just to make it in the world and go against all odds
Come from the gritty inner city to a superstar
Number one hits consistently for ten long years
Put my soul in every project my blood sweat and my tears
Ya'll know my status
Left eye the badest
Underestimate don't hate and I keep it lavish
But it don't mean nothing If I cant find peace of mind
Packing all distractions away leave them behind
Say goodbye hard times small crimes and felonies
A new beginning im winning envisioning the breeze
I'm dressed in all white linen and falling to my knees
Thankful for all that's been given, I'm living, with ease
Tropical trees 90 degrees, please
Do like the birds and the bees and start a family
So remise on every line that I wrote
Know that I never will surrender and its truth that I spoke

[Chorus:]
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always asking you will amazed
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always ask and you will amazed

I flew I flew like water like water
Am I desire like fire like fire
I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within
I flew I flew like water like water
Am I desire like fire like fire
I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within

[Chorus:]
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always asking you will amazed
Let me live live
Let me live
In in side inside intelligence
Say say say say what you gotta say
Always ask and you will amazed

Let me live live, let me live
Let me love love, let me love
Let me learn learn, let me learn
Let me laugh laugh, let me laugh
Let me see see, let me see
Let me say say, let me say
Let me smile smile, let me smile
Let me ask ask, let me ask

Go to the club in your tightest dress
No parking don't waste your time and
Park his car in front of a hydrant
When the cop writes a ticket and here's your chance
Don't blow it, go ahead dare him to tow
In the venue, do what men do
Anybody who asks, tell him your single
Get them numbers, get your drink on
Get your flirt on, put your ring on

Stomp your feet shaking that ass to the beat
