My big brother was Big’s brother
Used to be Dame and Bigs brother
Who was hip hop brother
Who was No I.D friend
No I.D My mentor
Now let the story begin

Its the hard knock life tour
Sell out, picture us in the mall
Copin iceberg and yell out Jigga
Yea that’s what we would yell out
Yell out
You know the name dude
I gotta spell out or tell bout
J a y an Ye so shy
Now he won’t even step to his idal to say hi
Standing there like a mom
Let the chance pass by
Back of my mind he could change your life
With all these beats I did atleast let him hear it
Atleast you could brag to your friends back at the gig
But he got me out my mama crib
Then he help me get my mama a crib

Big brother was Bigs Brother
Used to be Dame and Bigs Brother
Who was hip hop brother
Who was No I.D friend
No I.D my mentor
Now let the story begin
Let the story begin
If you feel the way I feel why don’t you wave your hands

Fresh off the plane I’m off to Baseline
Nothing handed out
I’m about to take mine
Around the same time of that BluePrint 1
Any beats in my pocket was that Blueprint form
I’d play my little song in that ol back room
He would bob his head and say, damn, oh, that’s you
But by the Black album I was blacking out
Party at S.O.Bs and we had packed the crowd
Big brother got his show up in Madison Sqare
And I’m like yea, yea we gonna be there
But not only did I not get a chance to spit it
Carleen told me I could buy two tickets
I guess big brother was thinking a little different
Kept little brother at bay, at a distance
Put everything I felt was more focused
Only made me more focused
Only wrote more potent
Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over
I guess ill understand when I get more older
Big brother saw me at the bottom of the todum
Now I’m at the top and everybody on the scrodum

My big Brother was Bigs brother
Used to be Dame and Bigs brother
Who was hip hops brother
Who was No I.Ds friend
No I.D my mentor
Now let the story begin
Begin
Let the story begin
If you feel the way I feel why don’t you wave your hands

Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant
Not only a client the presidito
Hola ovito
The game getting foul so here’s a free throw
I was always on the other side of the peep hole
Then I dropped jesus walks now I’m on a steep hole
And we know
New jack city gotta keep my brother
But to be number 1 I’m a beat my brother
On that diamond remix I swore I spaz
Then my big brother came thru and kicked my ass
Sibling rivery, only I could see
It was the pride in me that was driving me
At the grammys I said I inspired me
But my big brother who I always tried to be
When I kick a flow it was like, pick and roll
Cuz even if he gave me the rock its give and go
I guess beanies style was more of a slam dunk
And my shit was more like a finger roll
but I had them singles though
And them hoes at the show gonna minggle yo.
Ya know
I told Jay I did a song with cold play
Next thing I know he got a song with coldplay
Back in my mind I’m like damn, no way
Translate espanol
No way jose
Then I went and told Jay brown
Should of known that was gonna come back around
Should of told you like a man should of told you first
But I told somebody else that’s what made shit worse

My big brother was Bigs brother
So here’s a few words from your kid brother
If you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell um
People never get the flowers while they could smell um
A idel in my eyes, God of the game
Heart of the city,Rockafella chain
Never be the same, never be another
Number 1 young Hov also my big brother

My big Brother was Bigs brother
Used to be Dame and Bigs Brother
Who was hip hops brother
Who was No I.Ds friend
No I.D my mentor
And that’s where the story ends

Don’t kill this shit…..

(Hook)
My raps is better than yours
My plaques is better than yours
My tracks is better than yours
You can have one but I have to charge

We can start with the hits on my arm I already got the bomb
Now all I need is my first LP to go gold
Then I will have the Kwam uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh
I’m Kon the Louis Vuitton Don
Bought my Mom a purse now she Louis Vuitton Mom
Still might throw on a little low arm they want me to stop go on gon
They don’t want me to shop and me spending that hard
Oh my God is that a black card
I turned around and replied why yes
But I prefer the term African American Express

(Hook)

La La La La La Off MTV
La La La La La When you gonna go out with Me

Brains Power and Muscle like Dame Puffy and Russell
Your boy back on his hustle don’t know you don’t discuss you
Every rapper want to know when they can get to work
Every stylist want to know where they can get the shirts
Everybody ripping my style like the shit that hurts
But they don’t give me my credit that’s the shit that hurts
There’s something I might say There’s something I might play
A beat I might made might make they life change
And save they whole deal They wrist is on chill
They house is on hill You could be Lauren Hill
See y’all write songs to keep the lights on
I’ma go in Def Jam and turn the brights on
Man I’m just sayin
When I wanted to rap y’all thought I was just playin
Now you just prayin

(Hook)

[Common]
You was a vic in high school now you a thug
Better step in the name of love
Before you giving pain a hug
Needing dope is like pain to drugs
Or aiming slugs til the game unplugged
Like a scoreboard with vice and warlords
Hot merchandise prices they want more for it
You was pink as ice single need to think it twice
Over the bitch and you came out like freaks in the night
Freed your mind at a cheaper price on the street trying to seek advice
I’m on point like I speak to dice
Took the underground at a steeper heights
May real niggaz see the light got fat girls eating right

Ha ha we in this bitch
It’s Common and Kanye y’all niggaz know what time it is
Chi-Town motherfuckers DJ Ferris Heavy Hitters What Up?
Mike Love What Up? DJ Enuff
Foreal(Pharrell) That’s my favorite producer by the way

It must be more good women than men percentage-wise
So her chance of havin a husband just minimized
That’s why a lot of girls claim they aint into guys
And mess with other girls part time to improvise
I knew she wouldn’t vibe, though I seen it in her eyes
And I’m like any other guy tryin to get in her thighs
She telling me bout how black people should enterprise
And I’m like, “If you don’t get in this ride from Enterprise
That I rented yesterday and gotta have in by five
With the gas fully filled up like I didn’t drive”
Told her I had a girl dog, fuck it I didn’t lie
Told her “This rap game is arite, I’m just getting by”
She had a little weed and we get a little high
And I’m looking in her eyes and I’m lovin her vibe
Told me back in ’95 she fell in love with the tribe
Beau, back in ’92 I was just like you
Please don’t be confused by the ice and jewels
I’m like any other nigga, buy ice to stay cool
Like any other nigga that claim they hate school
And think, “Ya, Free’s bangin but she’s no Rachel”

We ball til we fall
Hit the mall
After we
Hit don’t call
Fill your lives
With nothing but lies
And I would like to apologize

But you cant stand right here and tell me
Everything is gonna be alright
Cuz until the day the real man stands up
I’m gonna have to improvise

Was it something I did wrong? Ya I know I’m wrong
She’s at home alone, and I’m always gone
Hate her when she’s mad but more when she’s passive
Now she on the internet looking for classes
Outta state though, man that hurt yo
But I got work though, and I’m at work yo
And she don’t call a lot
And when she do she pourin out her heart
“You never listen to me” then the call drop
mmmmmmm
And I promised her everything
Told her when I get a deal I’ll get her a wedding ring
But when I got my deal I was back in the ring
Fightin my urges, strip club splurges
Never had money so I felt like a virgin
And I’m tryin to break the bank’s cherry
Tryin to see can I afford canaries, with a Ferarri
And a dinner date with Halle Berry
Went from fifty G’s to fifteen hundred in a week
Now I’m tryin to call
One ring, two rings, seven rings, eight rings
Her mother picked up the phone
Like she in school and she don’t stay here no more
I guess its more good women than men percentage-wise
So her chance of havin a husband just minimized
I guess that’s why she say she aint into guys
Focus on school full time to improvise

We ball til we fall
Hit the mall
After we
Hit don’t call
Fill your lives
With nothing but lies
And I would like to apologize

No no, you cant stand right here and tell me
Everything is gonna be alright
Cuz until that real man stands up
I’m gonna have to improvise

[Kanye West]
Man I promise she so self consciouss
She has no idea what she doing in college
That major that she majored in don’t make no money
But she won’t drop out her parents look at her funny
Now tell me that ain’t insecurr
The concept of school seems so securr
Sophmore three yurr ain’t picked a carurr
She’s like Fuck I’ll just stay down here and do hair
Cause thats enough money to buy her a few pairs of new airs
Cause her baby daddy don’t really care
She so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn’t afford a car so she named her daughter Alexis
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some issues that you can’t believe
Single black female addicted to retail

[Syleena Johnson]
Oh when it all…
It All Falls Down
(And When it All Falls Down Who You Gunna Call Now?)
Im Tellin You All…
It All Falls Down
(Cmon Cmon And When It Falls Down)

[Kanye West]
Man I promise I’m so self conscious
That’s why you always see me with a least one of my watches
Rollies and pasha’s done drove me crazy
I can’t even pronounce nothing, yo pass the versace
Then I spent $400 bucks on this
Just be like nigga you ain’t up on this
And I can’t even go to the grocery store
With out some ones that are clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the American Dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to the riches and the diamond rings
We shine because they hate us floss because they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper look how we’ll stoop
Even if your in a benz you still a nigga in a coup

[Chorus]

I say fuck the police thats how I treat them
We buy our way out of jail but we can’t buy freedom
We buy a lot of clothes but we don’t really need them
Things we buy to cover up whats inside
Cuz they made us hate ourselfs and love they wealth
Thats why shorty’s holla where the ballas at?
Drug dealer’s buy Jordan’s crackhead buy crack
And the white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain’t even gonna act holier than thou
Cause fuck it I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Before I had a house and I’ll do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and park pushing a Benz
I wanna act balerific like its all terrific
I got a couple of past few bills won’t get specific
I got a problem with spending before I get it
We all self conscious, I’m just the first to admit it

[Syleena Johnson]
Oh when it all…
It All Falls Down
(And When it All Falls Down Who You Gunna Call Now?)
Im Tellin You All ..
It All Falls Down
(Cmon Cmon And When It Falls Down)

Oh …. Yah … Watcha Gunna Do When It All Falls Down?

Why everything that’s supposed to bad make me feel so good
Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would
Man I tried to stop man I tried the best I could
But…

What’s your addiction, is it money is it girls is it weed
I’ve been afflicted by not one not two but all three
She’s got the same thing about me but more about us
She’s coming over so I guess that means I’m on drugs
Just let me peek now I mean damn I’m so curious
She’s got a lover so the lies and the lust is a rush
Time’s of the essence I need you to be spontaneous
Roll up the doge, henny and c-c-cola then I’m co coming over
Cuz its ne never over

Why everything that’s supposed to bad make me feel so good
Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would
Man I tried to stop man I tried the best I could
But… (You make me smile)

I see the emotion in your eyes that you try not to show
We get the closest when you high or you drunk or you blow
So I pour the potion so we could both get high as we could go
Then I’ll get the lotion and do something to me when your thighs is exposed
There’s no turning back now, I mean I don’t mean to impose
Not now but right now I need you to undress and then pose
I’m into that now catch a vibe when the doors get closed
Roll up the doge, henny and c-c-cola and I keep co-coming over
Cuz its ne never over

Why everything that’s supposed to bad make me feel so good
Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would
Man I tried to stop man I tried the best I could
But… (You make me smile)

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Why everything that’s supposed to bad make me feel so good
Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would
Man I tried to stop man I tried the best I could
But… (You make me smile)

I just wanted to ask you
Just wanted to um
Let how would I put this uhh
Let’s say all your friends
Remember the one
You said if you ever she would be the one
Ok, Ok, Ok
I was thinking, hypothetically
I mean don’t take this seriously
Don’t take me… I mean just
Uhh not credibly
I’m feeling incredibly
I mean let’s see
Just maybe
I mean you, her and me
Maybe, Baby, Baby
You know I was just kidding
Unless you gon’ do it

[Chorus]
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
All day long man, we back in town

[Consequence]
Homie check it out I got her mesmerized
So won’t you hook a chew scorns, she tellin you buy
Street poetry is how ya boy get paid
And I wear no Escalade, metallic, black or beige
Yo when I walk up in the club you know I do not pay
Aiiyo my man Kanyeezy he got something to say

[Kanye West]
Aiiyo my name is Kanyeezy from the Roc-A fam
And where the glocks don’t jam, so where we pop them scrams
See I showed you on the champions how we get down
So don’t twist ya lips, I’m like Bobby Brown
You got B2K on all your bedroom wall
But if you be with Kan, gonna work ya walls
Straight from the South side of dem Chi-town streets
The top three in the game, with these here beats

[Consequence]
And if you talk about him, aiiyo I take you out
Either with the nine or the tech’s in his mouth
And let that dime gettin friendly than the orgie’s at eight
But y’all niggaz don’t shine so you couldn’t relate

[Chorus]
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (You couldn’t relate)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Yo Quence, you couldn’t relate)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down

[Consequence]
Quence without the game, now he’s back to ball
Drive you insane, drop a tat at the mall
You starin at my Rolls’ cold way to long
But I ain’t scared of robbers, why I wear tephlon
I took her on the ave and she expect me to trip
But I made up with no style while I bought me some kicks
So if you want the drama holler at ya boy

[Kanye West]
Original rude boy like Pastor Troy
The G-500 is my favorite toy
‘Cause it don’t look like a thug or a hood
But he keep dem gorilla’s so we still be good
By the way my name is K, don’t forget the A
and the N-Y-E, out N.Y.C
I’ma still rep the gold, no matter where I go
Everybody say I’m hot, I’m sayin I’m cold
Hate when niggaz leave the city and switch up they reps
On the real homie, I don’t get down like that
I’ma milk the game, ’til we all can eat

[Consequence]
Now the Chocolate Factory is what I bump in my jeep
So roll me up a L, but don’t lace it with leak
‘Cause that shit’ll have me zonin for a couple of weeks

[Kanye West]
Now your momma told you let the cleavage show
‘Cause that’s the best way to get a nigga with dough
Then fake a pregnancy, then call the attorney-a
But she ain’t know I’m cheaper than IKEA furniture

[Consequence]
Kanye, White, Malik, Little and D
Menace, Skates to Lou and ‘em Puffs from L.B
They know the Consequence be wearin gold and ice
‘Cause I got out the projects, where it’s flooded with mice
Ey shorty let me tell you ’bout the rules of my Nikes
It seems they always keep on movin, I don’t hear nuthin twice

[Chorus]
So relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Don’t hear nuthin twice)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Don’t hear nuthin twice)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Calm down)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Yeah!)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Yeah!)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (It’s the R.O.C.!)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Uhh)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Yeah)
Relax yourself or we’ll whack ya down (Uh-huh, yeah)
All day long man, we back in town

[Repeat ’til end]
Relax yaself or we’ll whack ya down

You knew everything from A to Z
What pleases you and what pleases me
Girl when you touch me
I began to understand (Ohhh)

CHORUS
You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can’t get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love

(Oh Brian help me sing)

Each time I hold you
I find something new
‘Cause I know what I love about you baby
Girl I discovered
You bring out the lover in me (yeah, yeah)
Your like a fire that burns in my soul
Like a volcano I’m ready to blow
‘Cause everytime I look at you I feel
Love I can’t explain (ohhh)

CHORUS

I hear what your heart is saying to me
I see the picture so clearly
I’m thirsty for the knowledge true love brings, baby
When you’re near me

You wrote the book on love
Girl I just can’t get enough of you
Oh you wrote the book

Oh you, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
‘Cause you, babe you wrote the book

CHORUS

You wrote the book on love
You wrote the book on love

You’ve been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothin’s wrong
Not letting it show
And there ain’t nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know

That you can let go

Sifting through the shattered dreams
Living in the in between
Baby, baby it’s going to be all right
All right
(You can let go)
And when you’re lost, let down,
disappointed, jerked around
In this cold, cold world
I will always be by your side

Oooh, You’ve been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothin’s wrong
Not letting it show
There ain’t nothin you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know

That you can let go
Don’t be afraid when you’re falling apart
Don’t hesitate, I’ll be right where you are
Open your eyes
There’s a crack in the dark

You never let me see you cryin’
You locked it somewhere deep inside
Baby, baby, let me hold you tight

Make it all right

Baby, baby, it’s gonna be all right
Cause I’m by your side
When the whole world turns against you
Yeah Yeah
I won’t turn against you
Baby, baby, it’s gonna be all right
Cause I’m by your side
When the whole world turns against you
Yeah Yeah

You can let go

Oooh, You’ve been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothin’s wrong
Not letting it show
There ain’t nothin you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know.

I open my eyes, I see your face
I cannot hide, I can’t erase
The way you make me feel inside
You complete me girl, that’s why
Something about you makes me feel
Baby, my heart wants to reveal
I’m down on my knees, I’m askin’ you
Say these three words I wanna hear from you

CHORUS

Yes I will
Take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will
Say these three words that promise to
Yes I will
Give you everything you need and someday
Start a family with you
Yes I will
Take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will
Baby, I promise you
Yes I will
Give you everything you need and someday
Start a family with you
Oh yeah, yes I will

This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough
Of all the things you’ve given to me
You’re my heart, my soul, my everything
Every night, I thank you Lord
For giving me the strength to love her
More and more each day
I promise her as long as I hear those three words

CHORUS - repeat

I stand beside you in everything you do
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Baby, I’ll be there
As God is my witness, I will carry this through
‘Til death do us part, I promise to you…

CHORUS - repeat

I promise you that
Everthings gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
I, I, I, I…
I will……

Damn, how could I be so wrong?
I said get off my back

CHORUS
Who do you love?

Who do you love?
Do you love?
Oh, yeah

So let’s take some time out…to find a way
‘Cause there’s just so……many things I need to say
[So…many things that I need to say]
Cuz when the lights are down and love is in the air
And I need to know…do you really care?
[Do you really care, baby?]

CHORUS - repeat

BRIDGE
Girl, I’ve found I just can’t leave you alone
[And nobody’s gonna tell me I’m wrong]
And I promise I will make of our own
And if you’re ever in need
Put your full trust in me
And I will never leave you at home…

CHORUS

Who do you love?

CHORUS
Where can we go from here?
All I know is that I love you still
Sometimes we do things against our will
I know I cry lonely tears
Where can we go from here?

Why? Why do I cry inside
For a love that’s gone away?
How? How can I carry on
When I know all the love is gone?
Tell me where can I go to get away
From the pain of loving you?

Tell me where

Ja Rule:
What’s going on in a world filled with pain
Where’s the love for which we pray

Homeless can’t eat
There’s got to be a better way
What’s going on
When we politically blind
Can’t see the signs of endangered times
What’s going on

Nelly:
What’s going on ‘cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma’s crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain’t done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don’t bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

Nas:
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
‘Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure

Eve:
It’s a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they’re waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won’t get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would’ve had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

Fred Durst:
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don’t nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can’t be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there’s enough room here for you and me
There’s plenty of room for some humanity

Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)
Somebody tell me what’s going on
(what’s going on)

And there’s no one I know that can compare

CHORUS:
What makes you different makes you beautiful
What’s there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I’ll ever need
(you’re all I need oh girl)
What makes you different makes you beautiful to me

You got something so real
You touched me so deep
See, material things don’t matter to me
So come as you are, you got nothing to prove
You won me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you

What makes you different makes you beautiful
What’s there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I’ll ever need
(you’re all I need oh girl)
What makes you different
Makes you beautiful…

You don’t know how you touched my life
Oh in so many ways I just can’t describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
it’s all the little things that make you beautiful to me
So beautiful…

What makes you…

Repeat chorus

Everything in you is beautiful
Love you give shines right to me
Everything in you is beautiful
Beautiful to me
To me…….

Hey, hey, hey– the sun is over the city, but it’s a orange day
There is reason for looking up, but I’m feeling down
You see I’ve got to catch a plane, won’t buy a ticket
Cause it’s hard to just stop, when you’re spinning around

It’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
It’s a weird world and it won’t slow down
It’s a weird world, no matter how you roll it

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way to stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love
It’s a weird world…yeah

Sent a message to a GI in the desert
Said thank you man for bringing another dawn
Back here it’s her and me and we’re having our first baby
He’s out there, takin’ ‘em on

It’s a weird world, and I know you know it?
It’s a weird world and it won’t slow down
It’s a weird world, no matter how you roll it

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way to stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love

I’m closing my eyes, but I’m starting to see
While he’s looking at you, she’s looking at me
The only thing it does is just keep me away from you
Sure part of this place would cheer if I die, but
don’t let ‘em take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile, take away your beautiful smile…

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way, just stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way for you to decide it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love

Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey…

Chorus:
Jam on ’cause Backstreets’ got it, come on now
everybody
We’ve got it goin’ on for years
Jam on ’cause Backstreets’ got it, come on now
everybody
we’ve got it goin’ on for years
we’ve got it goin’ on for years

Well I’m creepin’ up on your left straight up funky when I get
with you
I get ruthless when I get wet keep the party packed
in my corner
Tough like granite to keep the crowd
hype
get up on this just to get right
What you want is what you gonna get Backstreets’
got the special
Effects if you really wanna see what we can do for
you
Send the crazy wildin’ static sing it

Repeat chorus

We’ve been waiting so long just can’t hold it back no more
Creepin’ up and down now it’s time for me to let it go
Time for me to let it go

Everybody groove to the music everybody jam (repeat)

Repeat chorus

we’ve got it going on

That I kissed your face
Till the sun was in our eyes
Till the afternoon arrived
And I can’t explain
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love has made for you
Another Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

Monday is a funny thing
Still waiting for the phone to ring
Will my imagination take it slow (oh yeah)
How decidedly my life has changed
In a moment it was rearranged
Strange how easy it is letting go.

And I miss your face
Like the sun was in my eyes
And now I’m running blind
And I can’t explain
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love has made for you
Another Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

No, oh baby
This sweet relief
Unexpected things
Is this the end or only the beginning

I miss your face
Like the sun was in my eyes (like the afternoon)
And now I’m running blind (running blind)
And I can’t explain (can’t explain)
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love has made for you
Another Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

Another Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

Maybe you’ll take me by surprise
Will you be the one I had in mind?

There’ll come a day
When you walk out of my dreams
Face to face
Like I’m imagining
Baby how can I be sure
That you’re the one I’m waiting for
Will you be
Unmistakable

People say we’re watching life
Through a glass
Desperately waiting on a chance
I know you’re out there,
Holding on,
Holding out for me

How’re we gonna know the time is right?
What if you’re here and I’m just blind?

There’ll come a day
When you walk out of my dreams
Face to face
Like I’m imagining
Baby how can I be sure
That you’re the one I’m waiting for
Will you be
Unmistakable

How can I know a song
I’ve never heard
How will I know your voice
When you haven’t said a word

How do I know how this will end
Before we begin, before we begin

There’ll come a day
When you walk out of my dreams
Face to face (face to face)
Like I’m imagining (like I’m imagining)
Baby how can I be sure (how can I be sure)
That you’re the one I’m waiting for (you’re the one I’m waiting for)
Will you be (will you be, will you be)
Will you be (will you be)
Unmistakable

Unmistakable

So every day I try a little harder to forget her
Lie here to convince myself tomorrow will be better

The trouble is I can’t get her out of my mind when I close my eyes at night
Who’s gonna save me… now she’s gone (yeah)
The trouble is there’s a part of me that still can’t let go of her memory
And now I know what it is… love is what the trouble is
(Ohh it’s what the trouble is.. yeah)

How come she said you never wear your heart where I can see
Too bad, cause now I’m the one who’s sorry
How stupid was I into thinking I was gonna be alright.. okay.. fine

So every day I find a little something to remind me
No matter how I try, I can’t put the past behind me

The trouble is I can’t get her out of my mind when I close my eyes at night
Who’s gonna save me… now she’s gone (yeah)
The trouble is there’s a part of me that still can’t let go of her memory
Now I know what it is… love, is it in me? love me

I’m alright, I’m okay, I’ll be fine, give it time
But the only..

Trouble is I can’t get her out of my mind
When I close my eyes every night (ohh no no)
Who’s gonna save me, now she’s gone (now she’s gone)
The trouble is there’s still a part of me
That still can’t let go of her memory (I just can’t)
And now I know what it is… (yes I know)
Now I know what it is cause love is what the trouble is
(the trouble is)
Love is what the trouble is (heyy heyy)

Later out with your friends
You treat me like I’m dead
It was like I’m invisible

(I can’t let it go)
That was unforgivable
(I can’t let it go)
I just wanna let you know
(I can’t let it go)
Situations unlivable
(I can’t let it go)
I can’t let it go
(I can’t let it go)

So tell me why you say that you want me
When all you ever do girl
Is push on my buttons
You always bring me down
In public
When nobody’s around
You say that you love me
Make me say oh, no
I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

Oh, you got me twisted
Oh, you got me twisted
I’m not someone you can just disrespect, oh-oh oh-oh
How would you feel if you were in my shoes?
Feelin’ used, with a heart bruised

(I can’t let it go)
The situations critical
(I can’t let it go)
Relationship is pitiful
(I can’t let it go)
Everything’s falling apart
(I can’t let it go)
Cause you’re so hypocritical

So tell me why you say that you want me
When all you ever do girl
Is push on my buttons
You always bring me down
In public
When nobody’s around
You say that you love me
Make me say oh, no
I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

Y-Y-You’re just no good for me
You’re no good for me
You’re just no good for me
I know you’re no good for me

You know
It’s wrong to treat me cold
No one to hold
One day I’m gonna say goodbye
What’s it gonna be
Girl I’m gonna leave
Unless you turn around
And treat me right, oh yeah

So tell me why you say that you want me
When all you ever do girl
Is push on my buttons
You always bring me down
In public
When nobody’s around
You say that you love me
Make me say oh, no
I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

Just treat me right
Just treat me right

You say that you want me

Just treat me right
Just treat me right

So tell me why you say that you want me
When all you ever do girl
Is push on my buttons
You always bring me down
In public
When nobody’s around
You say that you love me
Make me say oh, no
I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

I see you all alone
I’m half way out the door
Unless you turn around
And treat me right

CHORUS

Time
Look where we are
And what we’ve been through
Time
Sharin’ our dreams (sharin’ little, little life with you)
Time (goes on) goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is come what may

I remember when mom used to say
That things are getting better
And you’ll soon be on your way
Remember those days, that we would sing at
The drop of a dime
Way back when nothing else mattered
Oh, I know we’ve changed but,
Change can be so good
Oh, so let’s not forget why it’s understood that…

CHORUS - repeat

So here we are
And we’ll always stay together
And through it all you know
We owe it all to you, you, you and you
(Time goes on, never stops, it keeps on)

CHORUS - repeat 2X

Time goes on and on everyday
Time is what it is
come what may
come what may…….

CHORUS
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
‘Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan

God has been so good
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I’ve had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you’ve done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son

CHORUS - repeat

You showed me how to love
You showed me how to care
And you showed me that you would
always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I’m proud to say you’re mine

CHORUS - repeat

‘Cause mom you always were,
mom you always were
Mom you always were,
you know you always were’
Cause mom you always were… the perfect fan

I love you mom

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more of them mysteries and lies

There you were, wild and free
Reachin’ out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

CHORUS
I’ll be the one (I’ll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I’ll be the light (I’ll be the light)
When you feel like there’s nowhere to run
I’ll be the one…

To hold you and make sure that you’ll be alright
‘Cause my fear
