Ba, ba...
Explosive...
Welcome to Solange and the Hadley Street Dreams...

Get me, get me, out of this box, I feel so claustrophobic in here;
Leave your labels, leave with no vision, hear my voice and feel with yo ears...
I'm no soul girl 'quipped with no afro;
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)

I'm not becoming expectations; I'm not her and never will be...
Two girls going in different directions, striving towards the same galaxy...
Let my starlight shine on it's own; no, I'm no sister:
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)

And I'm sorry if this planet that I'm living on is quizzical,
My lyrical ambitions sometimes don't ring a bell...
I'm sorry if my visual don't line up with my feelings,
And my physical exhibit doesn't represent me well...
I'm sorry if I'm curious, delirious, and I don't take life serious,
I mirror the life of a millionaire...
I'm sorry if I'm talking shit, but I really do mean well... (I really do)

We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...
We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...

We got so long to go, we got so far to go...
Hadley's a long road, Hadley's a long road...
God given name...

I sound high, don't I?
I promise I'm not high!

Tony don’t call no more
Don’t matter at all no more
Maybe there something wrong with his phone
Or maybe its mornin and the thrill is gone
And I’m not sure if I’m still respected
And I’m not in a rush to feel rejected
Not by Tony

Tony don’t care no more
He doesn’t want me there no more
I just want to know what I did wrong
Damn this would make a real good song
And I don’t have these nights too often
I wish he could take my mind off them
But I really like Tony

And he wasn’t just some regular guy
Tony is actually the other night
Oh why, I could have been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony
Ooh I could have been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony ohhhh

Me and Tony don’t speak no more
It’s almost been a week oh no
My how time it goes so fast
But I still refuse to call his ass
I remember the way that I reacted
And today he’s even more attractive
But I really miss Tony

Then Tony called me one day
He said that he just called to say hey
And it wasn’t until he called me back
That I realized I needed more than that
I’m a lot wiser and a little older
Hey baby it was nice to know ya
Goodbye Tony

Still he wasn’t just some regular guy
Tony is actually the other night
Oh why, I could have been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony
Ooh I could have been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony ohhhh

I don’t go with yesterday no more
Now I'm feeling free (I'm feeling free)
Today and tomorrow told me (what they said)
That's where I should be (that's where I should be)
That's where I should be (so I'm moving)
I'm moving (so I'm moving on)
I'm going, Can't wait forever (I'm moving on)
I'm going (so I'm moving on)
I'm leaving
I miss you baby

Still he wasn’t just some regular guy
Tony is actually the other night
If it wasn’t for Tony
Ooh I could have been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony

I feel like walking; diving in tears
Water my roses with sweet liquor, be a stranger to fears

Ooh, see I only wanted to be, be your girl;
To love you in the ways you've never known
But you can't love me, no, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself...

Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark

But you've got my heart...
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no...

You're sweeter than the spring
Nobody's ever been more
I know you'd give me the shirt off of your shoulders, you'd give me the world

Ooh, but I only wanted to be your woman
To give you all the things I know I can
But you can't know me, no, you can't know me
If you don't even know yourself

Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark

But somehow you've got my heart
These leaves, I want them to fall
But these leaves, I can't shake 'em off
With these leaves, I can't leave at all
At all...
But I should be dancin' baby, dancin
Yeah, I should be dancin' baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin' baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin' on my own

But you got my heart
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no, oh oh...
We keep on blooming;
You plant a smile everyday
Oh, but I could be swimming in the dead end
Cause I know your ways

Oooh, but see I only wanted to be, be your girl
To show you all the things you've never known
But you can't love me
No, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there
But I got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't my season
I should be leaving
These leaves dancin' in the dark

But somehow you've got my heart
Oh, baby...
Oh, darling...
Oh, come on baby...
But I should be dancin', baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep dancin', baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin', baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin', on my own

Enlightning drama sent from where
A Casanova likely glare
And I was chosen, I was there
The wells get deeper, more unfolds
And at the bottom, there she goes
But wells are endless, I found more

Flowers, candy, flirty, late nights
On the speed dial that was you, to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I find you plus me divided
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and again and again...

And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one

I held the title, walked the grounds
I was the trophy, while you ducked down
And she was cool with his fooling around (yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy his wild child
And when we're rocky, he calls number nine

Flowers, candy, flirty, late nights
On the speed dial that was you, to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I find you plus me divided
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and again and again...

And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one

I was the one, yes, I was the one,
And yes, that was my name inked up on his arm;
And if he loved me that much, and still did me wrong...
You feeling sorry but you are holding on

I was the one, yes, I was the one;
Key word is "was"; yes, I was the one...
I figured out he was empty on my arm...
He had to find the answer in the something or someone...

And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one

Do do do do do do...
I would've been the one...

Whoo... (I can't hear myself...)
No, no, no... (Can you please turn me up a little bit more?)

I was a little different; I didn't do what the best girls do...
You studied my rhythm; now you can speed me up when you want to...
Ooh...

They were to cool to run my race;
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face,
Go head, baby... (Go head, baby.)
Then I knew he was you... (Then I knew he was you.)

But first you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...

I decided that you are the him for me (I decided...)
Oh, boy...
Because I decided that you are the him for me (Yes, you are.)
Oh, my boy...

How's it feel to win it, when ain't no mountains that you can't move?
Your mind is like a prism for God's light to shine through...
Ooh...

They were to cool to run my race;
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face,
Go head, baby... (Go head, baby...)
Then I knew it was true! (Then I knew it was you...)

But first you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...

I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, boy...
Because I decided (I decided) that you are the him for me (you are the one for me, baby)
Oh, my boy... (Whoa, boy)

You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (down),
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait";
Runnin' me down and tellin' me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Oh, is the way you got me, when you got me baby;
Oh, now you got me baby...)

You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (running),
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait" (tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait"...);
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...

(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...)
Baby, don't break my heart.
(Let me take it from you) Let me take it from you...
Cause we're one, and the closer I get to you, the more fearful I become;
That'll break me in two, honey!

Because I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, my boy...

(Yes, I...)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (runnin' me, runnin' me down);
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait";
Runnin' me down and tellin' you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(That's the way you got me, baby;
That's the way you got me, baby, runnin' me down...)

I met a lovely fellow
Sitting right there beside me
On a spring day
Maturity had his mercy
Cause he seem so close to perfect
In just every way
We parted ways but
By May I was in his arms
Again I knew that he was
Different by the proof that
I was feeling

Oh how love
Can sneak up on you
And tell you just what to do
It has no time, no place
It's just chooses you

I meet him in March
We made love by May
By June we were here to stay
I thank you August for your grace
It's just to bad October didn't
Do the same.

And I sure wish we made it boy
Valentine's day

Vacation is now over
And fall just walked up
And said good morning
How can I fix you coffee
If you live so damn far away from me

We parted ways by November
But I hope by December
You would come to your senses
You think of me and you remember
Oh how love
Can sneak up on you
And tell you jus what to do
It has no time, no place
Its just chooses you

I met him in march
We made love by May
By June we were here to stay
I thank you August for your grace
It's just too bad October didn't
Do the same.

And I sure wish we made it by
Valentine's day

See baby
Baby you gotta know
That I know, that seasons change
People travel, people change
But see what we had
We had that kind of love
That just doesn't go away
People don't find that
In a lifetime
Now why ,now why
I gotta make it until
Christmas , New Years,
And Valentine's day without
You keeping me warm
Those kisses and
Those got damn gifts
You know what kind of gifts I give baby
I'm ready when you are

This song is for my people
I wanna know where we going
I'm right beside you 07

Street lights twilight
There's a liquor store
By his playground
It's raining a cash flow
But it sits well at home
It's a hustle
Now a mother use to hustle
To a different tune
There's a midnight thrilling
And oh the traffic's heavy burning light
Don't slow you down
He thinks trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

Street life crowded
That's his way out the illusion
Teachers failing
Our hero lives on TV
No my break keeps all eyes closed
While his are so open
Take it in three ways, I know it
Nowadays nothing wrong
Cause everything goes
We think trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where's the
Way I want to know.

I want to know where (4 xs)
Know
Know

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

Do-do-do-do-do...
Do-do-do-do-do...
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do...

I know you hate that I think this way;
I know you think that it's wrong of me;
I know that everything's strong today,
But the longer we go, I know the fire will start to fade, fade, fade...
I may be walking to long for this race;
I know you said that you won't do the same...
And so, I'm writing this song so the day
I see I'm right, I'll play this record with a smirk while I say:

I told you so, I told you so...
I told you so, I told you so...

I know you hate that I think this way;
I could be wrong, but the chances ain't great...
I know your calls, your sweet messages,
Will turn lately just to make me smile to plain necessary...
I know your vision your eyes just see me;
But somehow time seems to make it blurry...
And so, I'm writing this song so the day
I see I'm right, I'll play this record while I cry and I say:

I told you so (ooh, baby), I told you so...
I told you so, I told you so...

I know the newness of it all seems right,
But baby I'm no fool, and I got pride;
That happily ever love should just last a while...
I know you think you love me
But love ain't never stopped nobody from creeping around every once in a while,
When things start to settle down;
And so I won't look like a clown, I'ma call it now:

I told you so, I told you so...
I told you so, unless you prove me wrong...

I told you so, I told you so...
I told you so, I told you so...

Won't you move closer than close
Can bring you to me
Just given me the only warmth to feel
Can we lay in this space until forever?
Till the moments around us all are still
And tell me where do we go?
On this winding, traveling open road

To the hills where the love people go
Far in the night you and I don't look back you will find me

Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear

Won't you go deeper than deep can dig into me
Make the words roll over your tongue to mine
As I probably kiss you better than I'll tell you
And the way that you touch feel so sublime

Be all mine
And discover you in as you will find
Far into the night you and I don't look back and you'll find me

Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear

And I love you I swear
Cosmic Journey
And I love you I swear

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
To the open roads

I wanna go high
So high
High
So high

I said I wanna go high
So high
So high
So high

I said I wanna go high
High
I wanna go high
Said I wanna go high

High
I wanna go high
So High
High

I was a little different
I didn’t do what the best girls do
You studied my rhythm
Now you can speed me up when you want to
They were to cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby
Then I knew he was you
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
How’s it feel to win it
Where ain't no mountains that you can’t move
Your mind is like a prism
For god’s light to shine throw
They were to cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby
Then I knew he was you
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me ?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Don’t break my heart
Let me take it from you
Cause were on and the closer I get
To you the more fearful I become
That would break me in two Honey
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
