No Need To Shine

(chorus)
I know evrybody else – will be doin their hair
I know evrybody else – just needs to be there
I know evrybody else – will be standing in line
That’s not where Ill be – I dont need to shine
I see you shaking hands with evryone you meet
Im quiet in the corner – with no need to greet
I see you like to shout it out – so evrybody hears
Well just because Im quiet doesnt mean Im obsolete
No need for recognition
I dont need to keep my cool
I do this living by my own set of rules
(chorus)
Attracting most attention seems to be your game
Holding court is not my sort of way to entertain
Im more simple – not shy – thats just my way to be
Not passing judgement – Im just here to maintain
No need for recognition
I dont need to keep my cool
I do this living by my own set of rules
(chorus)

Ebony And Ivory
04:19
|

I get down on my knees
To save myself from falling
Into you
I guess its kinda dumb
But your love has got me crawling
I wish I knew why
But here’s what they say
Aint nothing good in loving that way
(Cause baby) You got my head in a spin
The devil within
We’re like ebony and ivory
Making love chemistry
Almost like religion to me
Ebony and ivory
How something so dirty
Can seem to me almost holy
Its hard to believe
And girl I must confess
Its taking me over slowly
Cant you see
But here’s what they say
Aint nothing good in loving that way
(Cause baby) You got my head in a spin
The devil within
We’re like ebony and ivory…
You’re like sunshine on my mind
But I cant let you fool me this time
Cause like the rain always comes back around
I know you’ll be bringing me down baby
Playing with fire only burns your skin
But your flame lights my fire within
Turning water to wine with just a simple touch
Got me in over my head – its much too much
We’re like ebony and ivory…

Music to my eyes you were
Beauty blinding honeypie
Still in fainting pictures
Blinding beauty you shine
Life was crazy sometimes
U were there to ease my pain
Now Im left here living lonely
Your loving still on my brain
I tried to call your name out loud
But noone answered back
Baby cant we talk about it
Or is that really too much to ask
Love letters leading back to you
Remembering my yesterdays
Pain you put me through
Love letters leading me on
Bringing back memories
But yesterdays are gone
I can almost taste you here
Anticipation in your words
Written promises on paper
Softly spoken never heard
No walls can hold these thoughts
Im thinking bout you babygirl
Wishing wonders on a star
Wish I had you in my world
I tried to dial your number up
But I always get that answer tone
Cant we pick up where we left baby
Cause without you this house is not a home
Love letters leading back to you…

Not Compatible
04:28
|

Reflections of my memory
Blurs the view in front of me
Sidewalk people passing by
I wonder do they ever cry
I’m loosing my perspective here
Cant seem to get anywhere
I’m stuck on Lonely Avenue
I need some light to guide me through
But I just keep on singing
Cause I’m not compatible
With this world anymore
I’m not gonna take the abuse
No I’m not compatible
I wont give up my soul
I’m not compatible
I’m loosing bits and pieces here
Dropped it on the floor my dear
I tried my best to play it safe
The shit backfired in my face
Can I just relocate my thoughts
Cause they’re not useful anymore
My head is heavier than lead
And all green lights have turned to red
But I just keep on singing
Cause I’m not compatible…
I’m taking all the wrong turns
Burning bridges as I go along
Feeling lost in a crowd
Reaching out – trying to hold on
I’m on a one-way street
Trying to make ends meet
Destination : Anywhere
I close my eyes for a minute
And I know I’m safe in here

More Than Friends
03:30
|

Feeling too good
Cant figure out
Hard to be sure
What’s this about
Like the beat of my heart
And deep in my soul
I start to loose control
Could this be right
Or is it a sin
Im in two minds
About letting you in
After all this time
Looking for love
Am I too blind to see
What’s right in front of me
You’re everything that’s beautiful
And I should know
That you are underneath my skin
This feeling is incredible
It starts to show
That we could be more than friends
I think you’ve known
For quite some time
Where this was going
And you didn’t mind
Always been good at
Playing pretend
But I was too blind to see
You were right in front of me
You’re everything that’s beautiful…
There’s no way that I’d
Ever tell you lies
But I think I’d like
For us to be more than friends
Just as long as this aint the beginning of the end
You’re everything that’s beautiful…

Things Gotta Change
05:08
|
|||
Sit yourself down here right in front of me
Tell me something about your reality
See I don’t really mind lending you an ear
Lets get it straight – time to make it clear
Every friendship builds on support and trust
You know dedication is a must
And things round here has got to change
Dont judge anyone by the colour of their skin
Whats on the outside dont tell you whats within
If we could only open up our minds
To have diversity you need all kinds
Getting priorities straight is my main concern
Or there’s no way we’re ever gonna learn
And things round here has got to change
How are we ever gonna get along with one another
How are we ever gonna end fighting with each other
Its clear to me that no belief is better than the other
And things round here has got to change
For all we know this may only be a dream
Cause everything ain’t always what it seem
But Im not one to judge a book by the cover
Im gonna love you like you were my brother
Give your best to me and I’ll do the same for you
That’s the only way we’ll make it through
Cause things round here has got to change
How are we ever gonna get along with one another…
Think that you’re a better man
I don’t really think I am
Now we don’t have to be the same
To shoot for a common aim
Everywhere across the land
Its time to take a stand
Cause you see
That’s the only way to make a change
We should realize the ways of mankind
How weakened minds will always lead the blind
Religion too is corrupted by money and power
So before its too late and we reach the final hour
We need to wake up and face responsibility
Or theres no way we’re ever gonna see
That things round here has got to change
How are we ever gonna get along with one another…

Sweet Dreams Guaranteed
03:17
|

Blue fish swim backwards when U sing
Heavenly bent – sky’s in your eyes
Curves that kill – swing around a drink
Thinking out loud – saying nothing
Silk clouds – rhinestone smiles
U hint – I think
Got this knot in my mind
Sky meets the earth
It’s a wonderful thing
Sunrise upside down
Flowers grow and close wide open
Spaces in my lost and found
Dark rain burns the ground
Great day – we lay
Please say it’s okay - let me have my way
My words fly up
And nothing ever comes back down
Sweet dreams guaranteed
You’re my ideal head sexy
First kiss cover me
Genius made this love for free
Last night – a hell of a fight
Guess we had some making up to do
Slow rain on rainbow skies
It’s the look of your eye wink
I blink – and it’s gone
Along the walk – we do when we think
Too much – this love
My crush – never enough
You’re a one way star
Can we break it off a bar
Cause I’m about to get off
Sweet dreams guaranteed...
Wanna be the whisper in your ear
Sweet sweet nothings
Always something to do with loving U
My words fly up - but nothing ever comes back down
Sweet dreams guaranteed...

U are amazing
Speechless - your mouth to my lips
This is your way of saying nothing at all sugar
Tell me please baby cause Im falling
You just leave me hanging there guessing
Dont you know I loose my cool when you’re around
Love come again
I loose my cool and Im melting into you
So bring it on cause I want all of you
Just like you’re beautiful - you’re love embracing me
I got this feenin - you’re my every want and every need
U are temptation - U wont ever say no
Ruthless and willing
Someone to fill U up with love sugar
Tell me please baby cause Im falling
You just leave me hanging there guessing
Dont you know I loose my cool when you’re around
Love come again
I loose my cool and Im melting into you
So bring it on cause I want all of you
Just like you’re beautiful - you’re love embracing me
I got this feenin - you’re my every want and every need
(Lirical D Mirical verse)
(Jinks verse)
I loose my cool and Im melting into you
So bring it on cause I want all of you
Just like you’re beautiful - you’re love embracing me
I got this feenin - you’re my every want and every need

Miss Leading

Sweet like honey on the outside - like a fix
When I lay with you - crazy like a dope ride
Sacred like a temple on the inside
Drivin me wild - shit Im like a child
But its alright if we get it on - I read your file
Phony boney cheating miss leading
Lonely only eating miss leading
Boning moaning taking a beating
Im’a up and go - Im leaving miss leading
Sweet like a dream on the outside - playing manipulation
On me and my team - driving your fly pride
To hell and back on the inside
I say fuck the pie and take five - glide aside - slide
But I told ya we can get it on - cause I read your file
Phony boney cheating miss leading...
I heard it thru the grapevine
Maybe you outta redefine
Girl I read you like an open book
D’you think Im blind
Oh such sweet and sacred sin
Nowhere there for me to win
Evrything ends where it begins
Phony boney cheating miss leading...

As Good As It Gets

Will U come with me
Back to where we’re from
A small town in the heart
Where we both belong
Will U come with me
There’s a ticket with your name
Forget where you’ve been my love
This ride remembers no blame
Now I must confess
It wouldn’t mean any less
Than the other half of myself
So baby don’t U know
That the time we’ve spent
I couldn’t spend with anyone else
This is as good as it gets
Will U come with me
Distant troubles weep
Sleep away your fear my love
Time has no needs
Will U come with me
Belief is all we need
No dream is too big for us
If I have U here with me
Now I must confess...
Lessons learned in love
Are leesons learned for life
I want to be the one to show U
Now I must confess...

Put A Spell On Me
03:20
|
|||
You made a believer out me out of me
Then made me loose my faith in everything except deceit
Thought it was heaven sent – but witch’s curse you are
Best that ever happened to me – or maybe worst by far
Opened up my heart with voodoo magic surgery
In a minute changed my world eternally
Now I will go till the end of the earth
Wishing and praying that you were my girl
You put a spell on me (x3)
You made me believe
You put a spell on me (x3)
With voodoo magic surgery
You put me on the run – kicking dust in my eyes
Always making up defences and alibies
I hide my face away so no one ever sees
I’m building brick walls and fences around me
Nothing will ever unlock that same feeling
Words are comfort but never quite as healing
Once bitten twice shy – done cant be undone
Shores are far away – forever drifting on and on
You put a spell on me (x3)
You made me believe
You put a spell on me (x3)
With voodoo magic surgery
