"I Found Lovin'"

I search for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I searched day in and day out
For a love that was mine all mine

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at Yeah

I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you

My sun rises on your face
When I see that certain glow
But picture that's so bright
You're my delight
And that's why I love you so

[VERSE 1:]
I'm lookin' in the mirror
At this woman down and out
She's internally dyin'

I don't wanna be this woman
The second time around
'Cause I'm wakin' up screamin', no longer believin'
That I'm gonna be around

Baby, just rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just

[VERSE 2:]
See, I don't want to hug my pillow late at night no more
I'm tossin' and turnin' and thinkin' 'bout burnin' down these walls
I-I don't wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
See, I made up my mind 'cause I've wasted my time
Ain't nothin' here to keep me warm

[PRE-HOOK X2]

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
I'm so tired of the rain
In my life
And I'm so tired of the strain
And now you're gonna lie

'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by

'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by

[CHORUS]

"Then Ya Gone"

Well.. Well well well well..hello baby
One day ya here and then ya gone..

[Chink rapping]
Im waking up to anotha day its amazing its gettin crazy
Cuz why I wonder how I stuck this out I got this touch
this pain and may be this might just be my prayers
be as in these strange ways stuck in these dreams
cuz if ya hood like mine hood yur good ouh
cuz the world is the ghetto we gone go get locked upped
yall go get ya hussle on and ya struggles on one day
ya hea and then the next day ya gone

[Chorus]
One day ya here baby,
And then ya gone [4x]

See, everyday we complain about lil ups and downs
We needa be thanking the lord that we're still around
You'll never ever know when it is your time to go and
I know its hurtin so bad when we lose people that we love
Gotta use that example n try and straighten up
U gotta live everyday as if its ya last one
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See lately I wake up in the morning
Wanting to cry, I bend my knees
And I raise my head up into the sky
Sometimes I just cant fight my
Feeling I have inside I
See I always wished that you would
Be here right by my side
I'm glad I told you "I love you"
So much before you died
I knew you couldn't and wouldn't
Be here for very long
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See, what I need
Is for ya'll to know
That living life
Can come and go
Ya gotta face reality
I want the world to sing wit me

Sometimes the world that we live in
Don't seem so fair or forgiven
See these streets are hard to survive in
Cuz all day you see people dying
I pray that one day we all see
That life aint promised to you
And life aint promised to me
Never forget this
And be clear, we don't know how long
We gon be here

[Chorus til end]

"Living My Life"

Ooooh
La la la
La la la
Mmmm
Hey yea
No no
Mmm
Oh no
Hmmm

Oooh I'm so happy that I'm
Livin' my life
I never knew what I went through
But hoped everything'd turn out right
I'm rememberin' the days that I was holdin' my head down
When people came around I always pretended to smile
But I knew
Deep in my heart
That I was slowly
Fallin apart
Some days
All I wanted
Was to hold my mother's hand
And hear her say
"Baby...
You're gonna make it"
Over and over again
So I

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
(Livin' my life)
And I'm
So glad I made it this far
(oh)
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around
(turn me around)

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm
So glad I made it this far
(so glad)
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around

Don't want nobody to think
It was easy for me
It took a while just to get down
Too many people just didn't believe
I'm remembering the sacrifices that I had to make
I would cry myself to sleep and say that it would be ok
But I knew
That if I prayed
That I would be on my way someday
Some times
All I wanted
Was to hear my father say
He would say
"Baby...
You're gonna make it
And I don't care what people say"
So I'm

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm
So glad I made it this far
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
(Bring me back down)
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around
(Turn me around)

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm
So glad I made it this far
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
(Bring me back down)
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around
(Turn me around

Oh I want the world to see
Everything that's happened to me
I went from goin' out my mind
To always on time
And I am no longer a fool
Since my days are cold without you
And I'm so
(I'm so)
Happy
(Happy)
Baby baby babe
Said I'm so
(I'm so)
Happy
(Happy)
Baby baby babe

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm
So glad I made it this far
(So glad)
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
(Nothing)
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around
(And oooooooh)

And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
(Yeah yeah)
And
Nothin' gonna bring me back down
(Bring me back down)
And
Nothin' gonna turn me around
(Turn me around)

"Carry On"

[Verse: 1]

There was something in your eyes that I saw tonight
I never thought that I would see it
Now there’s holes in my walls and there’s glass on the floor
And you said you didn’t mean it
You went from zero to none in these past three months on your level of affection
I don’t wanna be that girl that cries herself to sleep putting up with your rejection cause

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

[Verse: 2]

When I try to make sense out of what we have I also fall into depression
Because I know in my heart that we both grown apart ain’t no use in us pretending
We never talk on the phone and you’re never at home
And if you are there’s always tension
I ain’t gonna be that girl that ends up staying sitting around just regretting cause

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

[Verse: 3]

I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of spiting
My life is a storm full of raining and lightening
My insides are pleading of the screaming
And sometimes I just feel like I’m no longer breathing
I look in your eyes all I see is a demon
I’m tired of wearing my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t know why I stay
Cause day after day continue to say

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

Already knew that I had
Fell for you giving myself to you
