And ever since for my honey I been twice the lady
What would I do without the nights that you kept me warm
When this cold world had a girl caught in a storm
And I accept when you riff when you caught in the wrong
And respect when you flip, 'Cause our love is strong
And when you hit the block, I watch for 10-4
And when my pops asleep you snuck in the backdoor
Baby boy we been down since junior high
So when life get as hot July it's the world against you and I
We ballin', tied together and ever

J. J. Cale - Magnolia Lyrics

J. J. Cale - Magnolia Video

Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
 
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
 
You whisper Good morning
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

India.Arie - Strength, Courage & Wisdom Lyrics

India.Arie - Strength, Courage & Wisdom Video

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I've been hiding for much too long
'Cause I've been, too afraid to let it show
'Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith, It's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
 
(Chorus)
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
 
Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I've been, too afraid to make a choice
'Cause I'm scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen
 
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith it's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
 
(Chorus)
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
 
(Bridge)
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
'Cause I know, now that I've opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be:.
 
(Chorus)
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It's been inside of me all along, everyday I'm praying for:
 
(Chorus)
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
 
Vamp
I found it in me, I found it finally
I'm sure to keep it' cause I like it, I say thank you

Imx - Keep It On The Low Lyrics

Imx - Keep It On The Low Video

Hey now ladies guess who's back
Ldb, romeo, and bat
For the 99, it's phat stack
Yo ra-ra about to rip the track
You took my heart and ran with it
Why you so damn scandalous?
I found a chick who could handle this
Bye-bye love cause I'm through with this
 
Oh my god, what'd I do?
I'm caught up in your game with you
My best friend's girl, what a shame
Why did you play these silly games?
Try to put the blame on me
I always knew you were a freak
I seen you looking right away
Girl you've got a bomb body
 
(1) I should've seen it coming when you stepped to me
You're like my sis never thought it would be
But there was something that you did when you looked at me
That made me wanna get a little bit freaky
Then I started thinking about my boy, he said
What would he do if he knew?
His homie was creeping with you
 
(2) keep it on the low
We never should've did it
Yo girl, my best friend
He can never know
 
Get up and get your stuff girl, you must go
Keep it on the low
 
We never should've did it yo girl, my best friend
He can never know, oh, oh, oh
 
Oh no can't talk to you
Take it to the source what I can not do
Gotta stop, cause every night
All of this stuff ain't worth the fight
My homie comes first that's how it goes
Can't keep dealing with you silly hoes
Buying your stuff and playing the role
Baby I don't need you, no, no
 
(repeat 1)
 
(repeat 2)
 
Isn't that your curiosity
Doesn't mean a thing to me
As I reach for the sky
There's no need for me to lie
Cause my love for him is strong
I must hold on
 
Immature come on dance with me
Romeo, batman, ldb
Everybody come on dance with me
Yeah, come on, come on, dance with me
Can't forget chris b-z
Everybody in the house dance with me
Everybody in the house dance with me
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Gorillaz - 19-2000 Lyrics

Gorillaz - 19-2000 Video

The world is spinning too fast
I buy lead Nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I've tried to lose
 
My mama said to slow down
You must make your own shoes
Stop dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood
 
Keep a mild groove on
 
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
 
Here you go!
 
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
 
There's a monkey in the jungle
Watching a vapor trail
Caught up in the conflict
Between his brain and his tail
 
And if time's a limitation
Then we've got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message:
It's the music that we choose
 
Keep a mild groove on...
 
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
 
OK, bring it down, yeah, we gonna break out.
 
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
Get the cool!
Get the cool shoeshine!
 
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump
They do the bump

I know it's gonna take someone

Freeway - What We Do Lyrics

Freeway - What We Do Video

Freeway
 
Man if I get rocked, this shit for my kids nigga
It's that real shit...
 
female singer, repeated throughout the verses
Even though what we do is wrong...
 
We still hustle 'til the sun come up
Crack a 40 when the sun go down
It's a cold winter
Y'all niggaz better bundle up
And I bet it be a hotter summer, grab a onion
Yes the ROC gets down, you hot now, listen up
Don't you know cops' whole purpose is to lock us down?
And throw away the key
But without this drug shit your kids ain't got no way to eat, huh?
We still try to keep Mom...smilin'...
Cuz when the teeth stop showin' and the stomach start growlin'
Then the heat start flowin'
If you from the hood I know you feel me (Jay-Z: Keep goin'...)
If a sneak start leanin' and the heat stop workin'
Then my heat start workin' I'm-a rob me a person
Catch a nigga sleepin' while he out in the open...and I'm-a get him (Jay-Z: Keep flowin'...)
We gotta raise our kids while we livin'
Make a million off-a record bail my niggaz outta prison
Fuck a Bentley or a Lexus just my boys in the squadder
Nigga talk reckless then I hit 'em with the Smif 'n...
But I'm never snitchin' I'm a rider
If my kids hungry snatch the dishes out ya kitchen
I'll be wylin' til they pick me outta line-up...
We keep the nines tucked, chopped dimes up, rap about it
Wyle out, fuck niggaz up, laugh about it
I'm not tryin' to visit the morgue but Freeway move out 'til I sit with the Lord
'Til I...get my shit together, clean up my sins
Freeway got it in like 10 in the mornin'
And I can get it to ya like 10 while you yawnin' mang...
Still deliver the order mang!
And I ain't talkin' bout chicken and gravy mang!
I'm talkin' bout bricks 'o ye-yo, halves and quarters
4 and a halves of hash you do the math
Swing past us scoop up your daughter
She wanna roll wit' a thug that rap, you do the math
He won't blast 'til my stacks in order mang!
 
Jay-Z
...MANG! Lemme get 'em Free
Hove never slackin' mang, zippin' in the black Range
Faster than the red ghost, gettin' ghost wit' Pac-Mang
One-time know a got a knack to get that change
Leader of the black gang, R-O-C mang
Bang like T-Mac, ski mask air it out
Gotta kill witnesses 'Cause Free's beard's stickin' out
Y'all don't want no witness shit, we squeeze hammers mang
Bullets breeze by you, like Lousiana mang...
But I gotta feed Tianna mang...
So I move keys you can call me the Piano Man
Rain...sleet, hail...snow man
Slang dough, E, hydro man...
 
Beanie Sigel
...no, B. Sige in the third lane
Gramps still prayin' workin on my nerves man...
Like, Son you gotta get your soul clean...
Before they blow them horns like Coltrane...
But still I cry tears of a hustler
Wipe tears from my mother, pull out beers for her brothers...
That's above us, make beds for the babies
Tuck kids under covers, buy cribs for their mothers
Shit I'll probably be wylin' with their fathers
Tell Ms. Robert, tell Enijah that I'm ridin' for her father
That's like my brother, like same mother different father
Any problems dog know I got 'em
And still we grind from the bottom
Just to make it to the bottom sold crack in the alleyways
Still gave back Marcy a Dollar Day
Real gangstas make hood holidays
They ain't thank us but we still paid homage mang
Soul Food Sunday lookin' like Big Momma's mang
Tell the gang I never break my promise mang...mang...unnh!

Frank Ocean - Bad Religion Lyrics

Frank Ocean - Bad Religion Video

Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons could you
 
He said, Allah hu akbar.
I told him don't curse me
Bo bo, you need prayer.
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
 
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but a one man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
 
Never make him love me
Love me love me love me love me
Love me love me
Love me love me love me love
 
Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one
 
And you say, Allah hu akbar.
I told him don't curse me
Bo bo, you need prayer.
I guessed it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
 
Unrequited love
To me it's nothing but a one man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
No no
 
It's a it's a bad religion
To be in love with
Someone who could never love you
Only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do

Field Mob - All I Know Lyrics

Field Mob - All I Know Video

(Intro: Cee-Lo)
6 O'clock, it's volume 1,
Yeah, Gregg Street's, mixtape,
 
(Verse One: Boondox Blax)
Uh, uh,
I came up in the hood infested with teenage hustlers,
Street grinders, paper chasin scrapin busters,
By keepin dust up noses and caine on pipes and cans,
So they want they ride candy painted just like the man,
That feed 'em, tryin not to bite his hand,
But they need em to keep em life from they stand,
Every night praying for praying go as far as the ceiling,
Got me feel like I'm (cursed) from this heart that I'm dealing,
And all this liquor hoeing brother and goose-neckin,
That I do but I don't want to got me losing blessings,
God said he'll take the next two steps if I take the first,
I did, But in it to pick and sellin the spur,
From under my feet, lost faith and jump in the street,
Back to serve a rocks dying to the chrome in the heat,
And running with G's that take it to the block with 'em,
Tellin me along with my greens up like pot nickel,
 
(Chorus: Cee-Lo)
Well, all I know,
That I'd been down this road before,
It ain't the first time, won't be the last,
I gotta slow down cause I'm living too fast,
It's time to admit I need some help,
Still living with my momma, can't feed myself,
Life ain't about who straight, who real, who fake, and who gay,
It's about who pray,
 
(Verse Two: Cee-Lo)
You can clock my consistent and endless,
Efforts up uplift me,
Trees and branches catch draft,
When I'm choppin down a path,
To walk down, actually don't even know how talk sound,
I'm trying to stop the next step they drawing the chalk round,
Matter-of-factly, I'll stand alone with no entourage to back me,
God is my every existence; exhalation, exactly,
I'll pimp prophets so profounding labels don't like contract me,
I'm one of a kind; they gotta find a satellite to contact me,
Let us bow, I thank the Almighty God for right now,
For the strictor, smile through the tribulation and trial,
For sparing me when the devil was daring me,
And scaring me, synonymous for preparing me,
And to my family, the Dungeon Family,
And ya'll family, we all family,
And to me health and home and my son Keith Stun,
My tongue is my gun, revolutions already begun,
(Whaa)
 
(Chorus: Cee-Lo)
Well, all I know,
That I'd been down this road before,
It ain't the first time, won't be the last,
I gotta slow down cause I'm living too fast,
It's time to admit I need some help,
Still living with my momma, can't feed myself,
Life ain't about who straight, who real, who fake, and who gay,
It's about who pray,
 
(Verse Three: Kalage)
All I know is charge cards, cars, and clothes,
Maan, it's all for sure,
And could go and when it's gone, you alone,
Runnin up yo cell phone callin God for hope,
And who to say that day ain't all for close,
And if you ballin playa, it's only because God's your coach,
And it don't bout the lies you hold, laws you broke,
Thangs ya drink, dank and cigars you smoke,
He gonna forgive and that's you; now don't get me wrong,
I like LL, but God da gold,
He da greatest of all time, if I'm lying I'm blind,
Can I get a Amen (Amen brother),
But we got to stop, we got to stop doin dirt,
Coming to Church with a devil tucked in your purse,
Sittin some leather from Atlanta, came up finish the prayer,
Worried about sister mom's and hair,
All along worried bout what sister mom gonna wear,
This ya boy or should they ride the martyr there,
It don't matter at least that's the moral there,
In Sunday service with a Bible lie defer the South,
But God bless her, we here to thank God,
And that's the step inside Holy Church thinkin,
I said step inside his Holy Church thinkin,
We all God's Property, and not just Kirk Franklin,
 
(Chorus: Cee-Lo)
Well, all I know,
That I'd been down this road before,
It ain't the first time, won't be the last,
I gotta slow down cause I'm living too fast,
It's time to admit I need some help,
Still living with my momma, can't feed myself,
Life ain't about who straight, who real, who fake, and who gay,
It's about who pray,
 
(T.I. and studio engineers interlude convo)
 
(Verse Four: T.I.)
Open my eyes, see the sunrise,
Talkin about memories of G's got my tongue tied,
Put out some Henn for my friend, why the good die?,
But til the end, I'm in the wind where the slug fly,
Pray for my sins, I hope I find Heaven close to me,
Try to be godly but these haters provokin me,
Pull the shotty want them dead is what my heart say,
My hard head make me learn shit the hard way,
Dodging the fedz ain't the easy way to live, care,
But nigga do it everyday to make a meal stack,
Your phone tapped, under surveillance, secretly indicted,
Being watched daily, livin shady just to drive a Mercede,
And fucking ladies, who making babies used against you,
Gettin the ends to be the main nigga you be a friend too,
How can begin to explain the pain,
Can you stay in the rain,
Used to be a simple thing, but the game done changed,
Now slanging caine is a lifestyle,
Risking your freedom just to ball for a short while,
Gettin buckwild on the street up on Westside,
Downtown Atlanta, while we ride some of the best die,
From cocking hammers of these Tec-9s and .45s,
Excuse my grammar; but it's fucked up how time fly,
It seem like yesterday we play until our days was nights,
And yesterday, I just put flowers at his gravesite and that ain't right,
 
(Outro: Kalage)
All I know,
Is I'd been down this road before,
This ain't the first time, won't be the last,
I gotta slow down cause I'm living too fast,
It's time to admit I need some help,
Still living with my momma, can't feed myself,
Life ain't about who straight, who real, who fake, and who gay,
It's about who pray,
