"Life Goes On"

[Intro]
One for the road
Check it
Kind of natural, yeah

Look at then and when you got caught up
Reminiscing 'bout the past
Driving by on easy street
Thinking 'bout that we'd be here to last a long while
And real talks, every night and then an arguement
But all in all we both knew
If nothing else, our love was heaven sent

[1] - Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on

My brother Petey would say
If you knew then like you know now
Would you get down the way you get down
Would you glorify, idolize
Find the time, mystify 'bout life
Oh, why can't we be kinder
Joy that's hard to find
Lord please give me a sign
To some of us here right now
Don't think you'd ride on this thin ice
Without goin' down
Cuz time is running out
And will you be able to reach solid ground
Can only sing the words
It's up to you to listen
Show you the path to the garden
You got to follow me in

[Repeat 1]

Hey boo, here's to thanking you
For all that we've been through
It taught me how to love myself and now
You, and you I give my blessing
And I hope and I thank God
That's true for me and my boo
Oh, Lord

[Repeat 1 with ad libs until fade]

"The Heat (Outro)"

Hope this isn't enough said
Ain't got time to be a-makin' up my own bed
Hope this don't offend you
It's insulting and I've gotten that, too
I've been saving up so I can feel right
Keepin' up by stashing funk in my backpack
Watching other's slide back on politics
Guess to know the game is to know the tricks

If you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen
If you can't stand, stand the heat get out the kitchen

Oh no, listen
Went to church on Sunday mornin'
On my knees while I was prayin'
Askin' God for the strength to
To just keep on winning (He said)
Just keep your soul sacred and store your knowledge safely
Your heart is good as gold, I got you in my fold

And if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
If you can't stand the heat

"Time Of The Month"

It's 3:00 in the morning
Tell me where you been
See I'm in pain, these my brains
And my cramps are getting near
Don't wanna hear your stories
Don't wanna hear your lies
Let me go to bed
Swallow my pride
Cuz you be sleeping outside

[1] - It's that time of the month
Don't even mess with me
It's that time of the month
Don't even mess with me

I go to work all week
Overtime I'm puttin' in
Now here's a mess
Cuz I get my check and there's money missin'
So many things to do and now I'm wondering how
They tell me wait 'till they get it straight
But my bills are due right now, right now

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

Oh, let's keep it real
People don't care how you feel
Every little thing
(Everything) God may heal it
Where's a piece of mind when you need it, oh Lord
When does it
I can't be bothered, not even with my friends
There's alot of things going through my head
Just wanna go home and go to bed

[Repeat 1 w/ad libs until fade]

"Everyday (Neptune Remix)"

Uh, uh, uh
What? Check it out
Angie Stone on the remix with who?
Neptune, uh

I've had my bouts with love
I've been going through things you never heard of
Breakin' up and gettin' back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather
There was a time thought I'd lose my mind
My friends and family warned me
Time after time after time

[1] - Tell me how you gonna get something
When all you gave up, was nothing
Every day, every day, every day baby
You twisted my heart

Tell me why is it that I'm buggin'
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay

Now baby it took a few
For me to get over you
I didn't think I could make it
But my faith in God said I could check it
Back in the day I wasn't good enough for you
I would do anything to win you over
You took advantage of my attention
Oh, did I forget to mention
Every day you did the same thing
And every hour you'd switch up on me
Every minute I'd be forgiving
Every second we'd be reliving
Every day you did the same thing
And every hour you'd switch up on me
Every minute I'd be forgiving
And every second we'd be reliving

[Repeat 1]

[rap]
Yo, yo, uh
How you only recall the rough times?
We ain't laugh late nights watching Loveline
I ain't rubbed your back, you ain't rubbed mine
I ain't kissed on yours, you ain't kissed mine
I guess you the only one hurt
Like I don't miss by the hand up your skirt
With my chrome in your purse
There's a lot chicks out here loving to flirt
You got my name in the streets
They just lovin' the dirt
What? I ain't keep 88 in the lining
Couldn't divide 'em only if I slide 'em, straight grinding
Moon shining getting cake till down
Amnesia huh? I ain't take you on
Shopping sprees to D.C. order from Rodeo
Spilt the credit card number only if I say so
Packing that pack and packing that mack
You know what this is why you actin' like that?

[Repeat 1]

Well, it was your attitude much too shrewd
Caused you to lose, now who's the fool?
It was your attitude much too shrewd
Caused you to lose, now who's the fool?
Cause all I had is love for you
And there ain't nothing more to do
Cause I had a crazy, crazy, crazy love baby, babe, baby, baby yeah
See when you come home early
Don't come with that freaking respect
Cause I ain't got no time for packing up your, ooh

Uh, keep it hot, ooh, ooh ah, ooh

[Repeat 1]

"Outro"

I find a quiet place
Just a small simple splace
Just to thank you Lord, for your blessings
I know that deep in my heart
I'm no good when we're apart
So here's my love to you
Thank you

"My Lovin' Will Give You Something"

[Angie Stone]
Take a little love of money that u keep on

I know it's time for u to settle down
Stop foolin around
You keep searching but u don't know
Which corner found,
And telling u life is hard and history
And every move u make is just gamble
So leave your inambitions behind
And give me your love to handle

[1] - Take a bit of my love
My lovin' will give u something
Come on into my life
My lovin' will give u something

I hope u've been bad to give this love a drag
Yes I do, cause I've been
Give a little my everything
On this u can rely

[Repeat 1]

I give u everything

[2] - Take a little love of money that u keep on
My lovin' will give u something
Take a little love of money that u keep on
My lovin' will give u something

[Repeat 1 & 2 until fade]

"Holding Back The Years"

Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh
Oh yeah, uh-huh

Listen
Holding back the years
Thinking about the fear I've had so long
Will somebody here listen
Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes I begged for
Hoping for the unmade for
To get to me the sooner or later
Oh Lord

Ooh
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I know
And uh holding back the tears yeah
Cause nothing here is wrong, oh Lord

I've wasted all my tears yeah
(Ain't no reason, no)
Wasted all those years
(Too many, too many they just go by)
Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no
Nothing ever could, oh no

But I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on
(Never let go no, no, no)
I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on

Take your time, take your time
Suga take your time
Take your time
Take your time, take your time
Suga take your time
Take your time

Oh now
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could

I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on
(Never let go no, no, no)
I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Gotta just keep, keep
Keep holding on
No matter how tired
Gotta just keep, keep
Keep pressing on
As weary as it may seem... [repeat 4x]

Think it's a love song
Pull back, pulsate
Gonna keep holding on
Never, never, never let go
Oh yeah
I'll keep holding on
