Boy, before you get your game on That move, that groove, that drink on just (please) go easy on the struttin' and you can keep that button buttoned it's time to take a breath And rethink those cheesey lines Girls don't dig that stuff (shit) And if ya don't know why? You better ask somebody before this chance is blown do a little bit of research resharpin' your approach If ya wanna make it happen Find someone who knows... ya know? you better ask somebody Don't start braggin' bout your paycheck Or that brand new jet-black corvette I don't get impressed with who you're friends with or some gym-card, low card, fitness Honey don't get in a hurry If you wanna you to get it right Ya might wanna call your mama Or how bout you callin' mine... Ch2: repeat Well i want her so here's what i done, See i got smart went and asked someone I went home to mama, asked her some questions found out the truth and learned me a lesson No need to brag, no need to front Shut up and listen, find what she wants Give her your attention, listen to her dreams Love her like crazy show her what she means Ain't nothin' better than lovin' a good girl Find the right one it'll change your world Now that you know what you need to does You better ask somebody if you're looking for love Ch3: repeat

Since history it's been depression and misery Racism greed deception and bigotry They make you choose You a prisoner or a soldier But once you fall victim to the system Then you over (It's all over) Thinking you rise on sending lies It'll turn your enterprise into genocide And the powers that be divide and conquer the weak And the mark of the beast will get carved in the streets In hell trying to find a heaven Lost in north America's hysteria trying to find my brethren Poisons in the water toxins in the sky spreading And who's really responsible for 9/11 One of the biggest conspiracy theories since Christ While the blind been deprived of the truth since life Is hard to believe in a world that no one trust And there's no one to turn to it's so unjust Don't bargain for fish That's still in the waters yeah The world is so unjust You don't know who to trust My brethren Cause in who yo put your trust They themselves get barred by the system RastafarI them on top Give me the mic and show me the spot I'll make the giddy and get up So no mean when them a say that me a check them a check Conquer a lion man a doggone rat Me get so send them buyers to us Soldier come up on a moat The first slick a fool a bet your king will get slapped Well one get chopped and the rest of them stomped Green revolution your a soldier to that Them sell a mango cabinet the rice and the plant Well David slayed Goliath with a poor slingshot Some Yo Babylon system so unjust me a run me a skin me a shoot me a curse I don't sit in the back of the bus Notice this man is just us Yo but oh man do what you must I'm a soldier militant everything significant everything I'll be permanent Permanemanent yes I tell the truth man I tell no lie And a big nose ting far from the truth and I really get high But I Refuse to take my anger to the sky It will rise I'll get the youth to see the higher eyes To show Will ya defend wrong or right Oh yeah If it's not the right push out the light Heritage is sacred Say we couldn't take it So we keep applying pressure til we see our people make it Whether you're American African or Jamaican We stolen from Africa but the world is for the taking Never underestimate the people you don't penetrate War come of bloodclot anticipate King of kings the real thing we'll know for emulate Party now until you tell you straight Don't bargain for fish That's still in the waters yeah The world is so unjust You don't know who to trust My brethren Cause in who yo put your trust They themselves get barred by the system By the system

Keith Sykes About her eyes, now they're misty shinin' About her hair, it's long and clean About her face, now it's soft and smiling But you can't trace her thoughts 'cause they can't be seen When she flows by you so gently She brings a breeze that just cleans the air When she speaks it's barely a whisper That tries to hide but you know it's there She smiles at you and it sends you sailin' It sweeps you yonder along in the night You glide with ease and you hardly feel it But you tell you're driftin' in a moments flight When she leaves you become quite drowsy So you recline in your easy chair She's left you there to think in silence About her eyes, her face, and her hair

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise

My heart's a stereo It beats for you, so listen close Hear my thoughts in every note Make me your radio (yeah) And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up a little bit) This melody was meant for you (right there) Just sing along to my stereo (Gym Class Heroes, baby) If I was just another dusty record on the shelf Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else? If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that? Like yikky-yeah, check it Travie, I can handle that Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that 'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts If I could only find a note to make you understand I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you My heart's a stereo It beats for you, so listen close Hear my thoughts in every note (yeah, yeah, yeah, come on) Make me your radio And turn me up when you feel low (turn it on) This melody was meant for you Just sing along to my stereo Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh To my stereo Oh, oh-oh, oh So sing along to my stereo Let's go If I was an old school fifty-pound boombox Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk? Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops And crank it higher every time they told you to stop? And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me When you have to purchase mad D batteries Appreciate every mixtape your friends make You never know, we come and go like we're on the interstate I think finally found a note to make you understand If you can hear it, sing along and take me by the hands Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you My heart's a stereo It beats for you, so listen close (listen) Hear my thoughts in every note Make me your radio (come on) And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up) This melody was meant for you Just sing along to my stereo Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh To my stereo Oh, oh-oh, oh So sing along to my stereo I only pray you never leave me behind (never leave me) Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find) I take your head and hold it closer to mine Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind My heart's a stereo (yeah) It beats for you, so listen close Hear my thoughts in every note (you gotta make me a radio) Make me your radio And turn me up when you feel low This melody was meant for you Just sing along to my stereo Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh To my stereo Oh, oh-oh, oh (my radio) So sing along to my stereo Yeah
