The Truth
The Truth
Mm
What if half the things ever said
Turned out to be a lie...
How will you know the truth?
If I were given all the answers
And you stopped to wonder why
But how will you know the truth?
Everybody's got a right to love
Everybody's got a right to lie
But the choices you make aint no piece of cake
It aint no MF piece of pie
(clock ticks)
What if time's only reason?
Was to give us something to fear
And if so y'all, the end of the journey's so clear
Questionaire, what did you stand for?
Questionaire, who did you save?
When it gets right down to wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it, you take more than you gave
Everybody got a right to love
Everybody got a right to lie
But the choice you make aint no piece of cake
It aint no MFMF piece of pie
Mmmmm oh
Gotta, Gonna, tell the truth y'all
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth ya'll
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth ya'll
Gotta tell the truth
If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
We'd all trade bank accounts and move back to neptune

Don't Play Me
Don't play me
I'm over 30 and I don't smoke weed
I put my ass away and music I've played
Ain't the type of stereo you're trying to feed
Don't play me
Don't play me
I use proper english and I'm straight
I'm in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda you prop in my way
Don't play me
Don't play me
I've been to the mountain top and it aint what you say
Don't play me
Don't play me
I'm the wrong color and I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time and time if time existed movin' ever so fast
Don't play me
You couldn't play enough for me now
To make me feel like a star
Don't play me
Don't be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how you call us niggas aint the same
It's all good when you know the only fame
Is the light that comese from God
And the joy you get to say his name
Don't play me
Don't play me
I've seen to the mountain and it aint what you say
Don't play me
Already got laid

Circle of Amour
Mary, Claire, Denise,and Belle
Best friends as far as I could tell
Cheerleaders except for Denise
She was the wild one
She was the beast
She was the one who named the group
The original gang of four
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of Amour
Tenth grade central in september
That was the year I remember
On this chilly cold afternoon
I overheard the gang in the locker room
Rendevous at Mary's house
With dirty words and wine
Needless to say they all spend the day
Just counting time, counting time
Halfway through the history class
Denise she kindly raised her hand
And asked if she could be excused
And then she ran from school in a hurry,
And the other girls, ooh they knew
This is what friends are really for
Mary, CLaire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of Amour
Circle of Amour
Imagination through the window, on a cold september day
Leaves the brown, passion sounds, memory self astray
Hands in the place where the feet connect
Gang of four
Circle of sex
In the vicious race to maturity
They're almost phased from ecstacy
Sweat upon the necks of dames
Lose her in the circle game
Cause memories are worth so much more
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of Amour
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of Amour
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle

3rd Eye
Using a special code
He accessed his mind
In search of the reason why
In passion and fashion, yeah
The man who dropped and died
3rd eye, 3rd eye, 3rd eye
Served and approved
It appears between Adam's thighs
And he tries to release upon eve's nectar
The injector tries
He tries, he tries, he tries
Some abduction complete
I was standing down that fee
Look at one another and cry
What have we done?
Could this be fun?
On the dotted line
For which I did sign
I resign from the notion
If yours was the potion
I'm supposed to die for
I resign it
In a self pity so dark
This sh**ty and stark
Realization is all that it will soothe
Ultimatley the only one
That can save you is you
Your God is inside
And for that God you will do
Whatever it takes
If nothing else is true
The only one that can save you is you

Dionne
Well, Dionne
You should have held my hand
You should have let me be your man
Dionne
You should have closed your eyes
You should have held on with both hands to your prize
Dionne
You should have let me down easy
If you had no plans to please me
Dionne
Dionne
I could have been the one
I could have shown you the shelter reserved under the sun
Dionne, Dionne
I could have whispered your name
I could have whispered your name if only for fun
Dionne
You should have let me down easy
If you had no plans to please me
Dionne, Dionne
Dionne
Dionne
Dionne, Dionne
We could have shared a martini
We could have danced to mancini, till dawn
Dionne
I should have broke down and kissed you
I should have, I just miss you

You wore that suite

Because man in uniform

Man in uniform, that's what I say

Suffering every stroke of my hand
From dusk until the early morning

Wait a minute gonna tell you why
To make up, to make up, to make up for the emptiness that she feels inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on

Man in uniform

She said tonight I want your fine tongue,
To swallow my (stench)

Dirty little man in a uniform
That's what I am

Animal Kingdom
I saw a friend of mine today
In an ad saying what would do my body good
I told him he was waisting time I say
If God wanted milk in me the breast I suck would have a line around the hood
No member of the animal kingdom
Nurses past maturity
No member of the animal kingdom
Ever did a thing to me
It's why I don't need red meat or white fish
Don't give me no blue cheese
We're all members of the animal kingdom
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea
Animal, animal
Animal, animal kingdom
Told us we should eat the swine
You bet your bottom money
It damn sure was no friend of mine
What about the clams on the shore
Souls in progress here comes the fisherman soul no more
No member of the animal kingdom
Nurses past maturity
No member of the animal kingdom
Ever did a thing to me
"So I won't" why I don't eat red meat or white fish
Or funky, funky blue cheese
I never serve a member of the animal kingdom
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea
Animal, animal kingdom
Animal, animal kingdom
Animal, animal kingdom

The Other Side of the Pillow
Cool as the other side of the pillow
Smooth as another glass of wine
Until I'm so glad you're my baby oh yeah
I'm so glad that you're mine
Bad as Bonny when she ran with Vera
When you kiss me, it feels like I'm committing a crime
You, you stand in...sure new ways yes you do
I can't find the adjectives enough to say
I'm so glad you're my baby...okay
Coll as the other side of the pillow
So smooth there's another glass of wine(bubbly, bubbly)
I'm so glad you're mine, you're my baby oh yes I am
I'm so glad you're mine
Cool as the other side of the pillow(You...me baby)
Smooth, I wanna drink you all out
How did you learn that trick with the chair?
I don't care, just as long as you do it again
Cool as the other side, cool as the other side, cool as the other..
Cool as the other, cool as the other side...
As the other side of the pillow, baby
Cool,
Glass of wine
I'll get tipsy and I...{whistling}
Cool as the other side of the pillow
Cool

Fascination
Fascination
I want you
Fascination
I want you, I do
Fascination chamber let's [on] the round that kills
The art you hoped to mirror like
Leaves blood upon the sill
The dream you keep dreaming, is better than the life you lead
The papers run out a day and 13 hours, before the weed, it's so high
Fascination
Still I want you
Fascination
Still I want you, I do
The head you thought was rolling, is now reason to be bored
The rapper that gave that head will thank his manager before the lord
And the headache that you moan about feels much better than the treatment would
The pills gonna leave a side effect
That'll take another pill to correct
And the whole thing is leaving you feeling less than good
And you still high
...Nation
Fascination
Fascination
Fascination
Do you mind if I just watch you shake it
Shake it {x4}
...Nation
I want you
Fascination
I want you, I do
The most vital thing you thought
Is the epitome of doom
You can wake up in a cold sweat
Cause one of them is in your room
Singing in the tele
Making more bucks than sense
So called king gives birth to so called prince
A breakups bitter taste
Still here when the love is gone
And the breaks you wish for
Finally comes amoung the song
Working it out
Work, work, work, working it out
Fascination

One Of Your Tears
Did you get the tape I sent you?
I thought it be better in a song
Better than the used condom you sent me
Baby that was wrong
All the things a brother had to picture
I see him doing things witcha
I see his hand in the small of your back
I see his face in between
The kind and the queen in fact
Sometimes I wanna die and comeback as one of your tears
If I could just disappear
Ceace to exit
Ceace to be here
Want me
You don't want me, I'm not worth the air that you breathe
I wish I could disappear
Sometimes I wanna die and comeback as one of your tears
(shoodebedotedoom)
I'm dying
Sometimes I wanna die and comeback as one of your tears
Sometimes I wanna die and comeback as one of your tears

Comeback
Walking up the stairs
Just the afternoon
Sweet wind blew
Not a moment to soon
(Hoo) I cry when I realized
That sweet wind was you
Spirits come and spirits go
Some stick around for the aftershow
Don't have to say I miss you (don't have tho say I miss you)
Cause I think you already know
If you ever lose someone
Dear to you
Never say the words they're gone
They'll come back, yeah
They'll come back, yeah yeah
They'll come back
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here

Welcome 2 The Dawn
When the things you known are right
Are far from what they seem
When the past becomes the future
And time becomes a dream
When the light of God
Is the only thing in life that will redeem
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
When the voices you hear commands you
To entertain thee absurd
When you do the action unlocks
The apocalypse of that youv'e heard of
When the day lies before you
Seems the darkness in a word
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
Every pieces a puzzle and every name a clue
Every charge you make is karma
So be careful what you do
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
