HEY HEY

01. DONT WAIT (3.34)

02. CHANGE (3.56)

A friend indeed, come build me up

Come shed your light, it makes me shine
You get the message, dont you ever forget it
Lets laugh and cry, until we die

Real love is all around

It wont let you down
You are royalty waiting to be crowned
And if that love is the truth
It will come right back to you
Its beautiful inside of you
Its all there for you
Its true

If it wasnt for you, Id be alone

If it wasnt for you, Id be on my own
Dont wait til I do wrong
Dont wait til I put up a fight
You won my heart, without a question
Dont wait for life
I care for you, I talk to you
In my deepest dreams, Im fortunate
We got a friendship, no one can come test it
And not to mention, I respect you with my all
If it wasnt for you, Id be alone
If it wasnt for you, Id have to hold my own
Dont wait til I do wrong
Dont wait til I put up a fight
You won my heart, without a question
Dont wait for life
Not a thing in the world could get between what we share
No matter where you at, no worry Ill be there
No ones got your back like I do
Even when the business aint going well, we still cool
When I shine, you shine, always on your side
All my life youll have whats mine
Mark my word, we gon be alright
My brother, my sister we gon be just fine
If it wasnt for you, Id be alone
If it wasnt for you, Id be on my own
Dont wait til I do wrong
Dont wait til I put up a fight
You won my heart, without a question
Dont wait for life
_

Dont you worry about a thing my brother

A little love is all it takes
Dont you worry about a thing my sister
Were all waiting for a change
Were all waiting for a change
We are, we are
We try hard to get by
Try to keep our dreams alive.
By any means, no hesitation
When you can see the light
Even in your darkest night
I know, I know a change gonna come
Its all there for you
Its true
Dont you worry about a thing my brother
A little love is all it takes
Dont you worry about a thing my sister
Were all waiting for a change
Were all waiting for a change
We are, we are
What if this is our last dance?
So give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
No you wont have the last laugh
So give me one more sign
One more sign of life
Youre in control
Youve got so much soul

Dont you worry about a thing my brother

A little love is all it takes
Dont you worry about a thing my sister
Were all waiting for a change

So lets be strong
Didnt mean to mess with your head
Tryin your heart and pride
To leave it for the dead

Were all waiting for a change

We are, we are

And you can blame it on me

Blame it on me
Two people cant might it right
Unless we try
And you can blame it on me
Blame it on me
Two people cant might it right
Unless we try

Youre in control
Youve got so much soul
_

03. BLAME IT ON ME (4.01)

And you know, exactly what they say
Turn the other cheek, let it go
And look the other way.
Come in peace, just let me hold your hand
I miss you more than you will ever know
And ever understand.
And you can blame it on me
Blame it on me
Two people cant might it right
Unless we try
Take your time, to think it all over
No matter when were there or now
Youve got a shoulder
No I dont wanna be here alone
Words can explain this love
Written in stone
And you can blame it on me
Blame it on me
Two people cant might it right
Unless we try
And you can blame it on me
Blame it on me
Two people cant might it right
Unless we try
Its all right, its all right
You can blame it on me
Did not mean to do you so wrong
I cant do this shit without you

Its all right, its all right

You can blame it on me

04. COME ON BABY (3.38)

Baby, Im riding down the freeway
Got some money to spend
Where you wanna go with me?
Take this
Dumb world off your back now
Just come put it on me
It only gets better
We out this mother
Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby
I could be
The one to protect you
Nothing bad will affect you
In your eyes all I see is me, yeah
Thats right
The roles are reversed now
It seems like youre really feeling me
Am I worthy of pursuit?
If so, tell me

Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby
Most dudes out there arent quite like you
I got a pocket full of love and a car full of soup
Can we take a long ride until the sun is due?
I put my mack down how about me and you
Game, aint no feeling better than to have you by my side
Ask me for whatever and Ill tell you its all right
You should be my man, I should be your bride
Not just for the night but for the rest of our lives, come on
You should be my man
Lover and my friend
Try to understand
I need you
Oh yes I do
Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby
Nothing is as odd, as a lonely heart
You should be my man, baby
Come on baby

05. THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT (3.30)

You always talk about things you know nothing about
Well, I dont wanna hear about it, youre just so damn
loud
I know youre trying to deceive me, believe me, I know
This time, dont you ever come back around
You always talk about things you know nothing about
You always talk about things you know nothing about
I believe I was made to love
I believe I was made to love

Are you talkin to me?

What do you take me for?
You make me so sick
Vomit, spit theres the door, no more
Are you talkin to me?
What do you take me for?
Good thing that I saw from the beginning
That I had to win this war
I dont think you know where Im from
Ill take a stand, Ill be a man, Ill be a woman
Its so shady, so nasty
How youre caught in the trap
And thats where you thought you had me, no
They say you get what you deserve
I heard you got your lessons learned
You always talk about things you know nothing about
Well I dont wanna hear it, youre just so damn loud
I know youre tryin to deceive me, believe me, I know
This time, dont you ever come back around
You always talk about things you know nothing about
You always talk about things you know nothing about
I believe I was made to love
I believe I was made to love
_

06. AS 1 (3.34)
Lovers holding hands beneath the sky
Crushin all our fears so we can fly
Nows the time to be all we can be
Feelings of a love so promising
For today is the day
That I can truly say
We have come a long way
Together, as 1
Nows the time
Time to free our mind
And stay colorblind
And be together as 1
City lights put us all to sleep
Mothers makin sure theres enough to eat

People come together just to understand

Follow your hand and live your dream
For today is the day
That I can truly say
We have come a long way
Together, as 1
Nows the time
Time to free our mind
And stay colorblind
And be together as 1

Graduation day and they roast you and toast you

Which means emancipation day now what works can
you do
You can make magic happen on what we call voodoo
A bittersweet generation but nothing is boring
Hard workin generation still waits for their calling
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none

Lovers holding hands beneath the sky

Crushin all our fears so we can fly
Nows the time to be all we can be
Feelings of a love so promising

The day that I win Ill be second to none

Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none

A productive nothin, a failed somethin

Work hard no playin games and pretend you love it
You become so fake to yourself that its disgusting
For better or for worse or for the fightin and fussin
A flock of people, were just waiting around
While the government keeps finding ways to keep us safe
and sound
So we stay on the block pound for pound
Until the truth comes around, yeah, comes around
A generation that stay woke until dawn
A generation that waits, they find no call

07. SECOND TO NONE (3.22)

Words are never spoken in the midst of feelin token
Pickin on whats left of the bone still a stomach bloated
Call the local hero over, now were all floatin
Party till the life is missing, cry until were chokin
Yesterdays champion, now the man is dopin
Eyes on the prize, stores are never open
Welcome to the life of, where nothings ever boring
A lot generation, still waiting for their calling
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Walking down on main street, got me feelin like a young
boy
If God bless you and I then God bless he
Who paved the way to heaven and put us on the lease
Our house looks so soulful, thats why we so boastful
Speakers bumpin loud but I can still hear them vocals

Walking down on Main Street, got me feelin like a young

boy
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Some of us die trying, some of us give up
I said Ill be damn if you testin my luck
The day that I win Ill be second to none
Walking down on Main Street, got me feelin like a young
boy
_

08. BELIEVE (3.49)

Cause now youre rockin with the best, come on
You are so concerned with sweet nothings
That it makes you die
Inside, why succumb to the pressure?
Go where you belong
In my eyes, you are beautiful as could be
Youre being insecure
Nothing in this world is what it seems
In a world so unsure
I believe in you
And nothing in this world can make my feet fall to the
ground
I believe in you
Every tear is a waterfall
Every heart is an open door
We gonna make it
Ive been here before baby
When your back is against the wall
And you thought you lost it all
Dont worry
Ive been here before baby
Cause now youre rockin with the best, come on
Join me, I dont give two cents about what
People have to say
You should, be concerned with some lovin
If you feel the same
Lets go, to a place that is beyond
We can find a cure
Nothing in this world is as it seems
In a world so unsure
I believe in you
And nothing in this world can make my feet fall to the
ground
I believe in you
Every tear is a waterfall
Every heart is an open door
We gonna make it
Ive been here before baby
When your back is against the wall

And you thought you lost it all

Dont worry
Ive been here before baby
All or nothing
You can have it all
Believe in something
Hear my call
Cant you see its true
I believe in you
Every tear is a waterfall
Every heart is an open door
We gonna make it
Ive been here before baby
When your back is against the wall
And you thought you lost it all
Dont worry
Ive been here before baby
Cause now youre rockin with the best, come on
_

09. STEP UP (3.05)

If I said it, you know I mean it
Make it happen, cause Ive forseen it
When you gonna step up? When you gonna step up?
When we in the club, you know we leanin
You made a mess and I aint cleanin it
You always punch drunk, we always punch drunk
When you call, we just leave
I dont vibrate with jealously
When you gonna live it up? When you gonna live it up?
If I have, love for you
Know that means you always been love
Always one love, one love, one love
If I said it, you know I mean it
Make it happen, cause Ive foreseen it
When you gonna step up? When you gonna step up?
If I said it, you know I mean it
I dont care, who you know
You dont me, how can I be your for?
You always in the club

Excuse me you follow them

Followin trends lookin like everyone else
You play dress up, I really dress up
You aint an MC, you aint no singer
You and your company could get the finger
When you gonna give up? When you gonna give up?

11. WHATS INNIT 4 ME (3.16)

If I said it, you know I mean it

Make it happen, cause Ive foreseen it
When you gonna step up? When you gonna step up?
If I said it, you know I mean it
Make it happen, cause Ive foreseen it
When you gonna step up? When you gonna step up?
Up, up and away

Well whats innit for me?

10. KEEP IT COOL (3.30)

Keep your cool, you gonna need it, its a cold world
Count your friends on your fingers, its too cool
Keep it easy, one foot forward, when its hard
Dont be scared, Ill be there, for you
Friends come and go like the spring or snow
You can make plans but youll never know
Whether the tide is high or the tide is low
Keep your cool

Tell me whats in it for me

Im looking for a sweet escape
I dont even know your name, no
But I know you feel the same

Wake up, Bake up, gotta get my cake up

Your opinion whats it to me
Work hard, play hard
Go hard or go stop
Cause aint nobody in it for me
We live a life without benefits
Try to save a life
And end up being by yourself
Been smoking weed every other day
Cause every other day I wanna quit
Tell me whats in it for me
Im looking for a sweet escape
I dont even know your name, no
But I know you feel the same
Well whats innit for me?

Keep your cool, times a wasting cross the border

Make amends, understand, its too cool
Take it easy, one foot forward, when its hard
Dont be scared, Ill be there, for you

Drinks on me, lets do this all night

But you know I cant afford it
Went on a date with this fool that I dont like
Look good but hes boring.
Am I in it for the fame? In it for the poison?
What do I know, Im learnin
In love with life, try to find the meaning
And my hearts bleed, my heard keeps bleedin

Friends come and go like the spring or snow

You can make plans but youll never know
Whether the tide is high or the tide is low
Keep your cool

Tell me whats in it for me

Im looking for a sweet escape
I dont even know your name, no
But I know you feel the same

Keep your cool

Tell me whats in it for me

Im looking for a sweet escape
I dont even know your name, no
But I know you feel the same

Keep your cool

Well whats innit for me?

12. BABY ITS YOU (3.08)

Sha la la la la
Its not the way you smile that touched my heart
Its not the way you kiss that tears me apart
Many nights, many nights roll by
I sit alone, at home and cry over you
What can I do?
I cant help myself
When baby its you
Baby its you
Is it true what they say about you?
They say youll never ever be true
It doesnt matter what they say
Im gonna love you any ol way
What can I do?
What about you?
I dont want nobody
Cause baby its you
Baby its you
Stuck on you, why dont you come through?
Cause this time around its all about you
Stuck on you, so what you wanna do?
Cause this time around its all about you
Many nights, many nights roll by
I sit alone, at home and cry over you
What can I do?
I cant help myself, no
When baby its you
Baby its you
Dont leave me alone
Come on home, child
