Yeah, we want some bedtimes stories...(Please!)

Once upon a time not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behavin' like they our too good
There was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he said
"Me and you, Guy, we gonna make sum cash, robbin' old folks and makin' the dash"
They did the job, money came with ease, but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another and another and a sister and her brother
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover, the cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said, "keep still, boy, no need for static", punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped, the kid pulled out a gun
He said, "why'd you hit me?", the barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure, "I'll do years if I pull this trigger"
So he cold dashed and ran around the block, cop radios in to another lady cop
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sister, a shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
Looked around good and from expectations, so he decided he'd head for the subway stations
But she was coming so he made a left, he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him, then he made his move to an abandoned building
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor, opened up the door there, guess who he saw
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope, who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said, "I need bullets, hurry up, run", the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
He went outside but there was cops all over, then he dipped into a car, was a stolen Nova
Raced up the block doing 83, crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered, rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
Ran out of bullets but still had static, grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead
He told the cops, "back off or honey here's dead", deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
so he let the lady go and he starts to move on, sirens sounded, he seemed astounded
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded, he dropped the gun, so went the glory
And this is the way I must end this story, he was only nineteen, in a madman's dream
I saw the cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream, this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Just another case 'bout the wrong path, straight and narrow or your soul gets cashed
G'night

"Love For Real"
(feat. N'dea Davenport)

Her skin was soft and sweet, she wore sandals on her feet
Side by side 'till we fell asleep in her mothers bed
She stepped inside of me, said don't ever lie to me
This heart of mine can be yours, yeah, that's what she said
But I just played the role, broke the heart I stold

Because I was young, and dumb and fucked up in the head

[CHORUS]
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes, I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)

Now, down by the river, takin' off my shoes jumpin' in the water
Wash away these blues, now into the ocean, the current takes over
Words already been spokin', tales already been told

Do you wanna be loved, do you wanna be loved for real

[CHORUS X2]
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes I wanna be loved for real)

Her eyes were hazel brown, she laughed the sweetest sound
And I just loved the way she lit up when she spoke
She helped me ease my pain, she stayed in the pouring rain
And I gave her all that she could take 'till she broke
She fit me like a glove, she taught me how to love

And for some ass I watched it all go up in smoke

[CHORUS]
Do you wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real
Do you wanna be (do you wanna be loved for real) loved (yes I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
Do you wanna be loved (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
For real (do you wanna be loved for real, yes, I wanna be loved for real)
Do you wanna be loved (do you wanna be, do you wanna be, loved for real) for real
Do you wanna be loved (yes I wanna be loved for real, do you wanna be loved for real)
Yes, I wanna be loved for real (real, real, real...)

"One And The Same"
(feat. N'dea Davenport)

One and the same, one and the same

I wish I could see beyond the filthy blue horizon, see what lies ahead of me
Perhaps I'd see the path of my own destruction
And avoid my destiny, she said Heaven and Hell is one and the same boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, was one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same

I said it can't be true

I wish I could touch you in some totally new fashion
Who are you girl, I'm a man, now I can't guarentee your complete satisfaction
So I'm gonna do you the very best way I can

She said Heaven and Hell is one and the same, boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same

I said it can't be true

Wish I could find some time to stop and smell the roses
My landlord won't let me be, my head is full of paranoia
New roses, tryin' to consume my identity

She said heaven and hell is one and the same, boy
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle, yes we do
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same

I said it can't be true, it just can't be true

Children grow and women produce and men go work and some go stealin' [repeat X1]
Heaven and Hell (children grow and women produce),
here on Earth (and men go work and some go stealin') [X7]

"We're All Gonna Die"
(feat. Cee Lo)

We all gonna die, we all gonna die
When I was a very young boy, Momma told me we're all gonna die
Momma said son love can't be trusted
