No Love Lyrics

da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
do-wee-do-wee-yoo
da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-dub-dee
do-wee-do-wee-yoo

You can see straight through me
Never thought you'd do me
The way you do
How can anyone be so cruel
When you know I love you, yes I do
Misunderstood
Turned your back on me and left me lonely
I wish I could
Open up my heart so you can know me

How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love<ah-ah>
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love <ah-ah>
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no

You have me calling out your name
What is this strange thing inside me
How can anyone be such a fool
When you know you love me, yes you do, yes you do
When I first met you
I could hardly see
But now I'm blind, for real<baby>
I wish you knew how to rescue me
<da-de-ya-dup-dub-dub-day>
From this misery

How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no

How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no

You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
Baby you

Drama Lyrics

The world is so dramatic.....
I can't believe
that we're still livin'
oh in this crazy crazy world
that I'm still livin'

with all the problems of the day
how can we go on
so tired of hearing people say how can we go on

fantasy people
make believe people
how can you go on
but you're still livin'

race relations, segregation, no occupation
world inflation, demonstration, miseducation
no celerbration to celebrate your lives

listen people listen
lift up your hearts to GOD
lift up your soul
teach your children Wisdom
Reality today... so they can live tommorrow

I can't believe
that we're still livin'
oh in this crazy crazy world
that I'm still livin'

with all the problems of the day
how can we go on
so tired of hearing people say
how can I go on

fantasy people
make believe people
how can you go on
but you're still livin'

listen people listen
lift up your hearts to GOD
teach your children Wisdom
Reality today...

Otherside of the Game Lyrics


Otherside of the Game


whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live

Do I really,
want my baby
Brother tell me what to do
I know you got to get your hustle on
So I pray
I understand the game, sometimes
And I love you strong, but,

what you gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
God I can't stand life withoutcha

Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha got this complex occupation
And it ain't that he don't have education
Cause I was right there at his graduation

Now, I ain't sayin' that this life don't work
But it's me and baby that he hurts
Cause I tell him right
He thinks I'm wrong
But I love him strong

He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me
But the seed had grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun
I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe

whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live

Don't you worry, I know there's confusion
God's gonna see us through
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though

Don't you worry, I know there's confusion
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
Don't you worry...
Gave me the life that I came to live
Don't you worry...
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
Don't you worry...

On and On Lyrics

Ohh, my, my, my
I'm feelin' high
My money's gone
I'm all alone
Too much 2 see, the world keeps turnin'
Oh what a day, what a day, what a day

Peace & blessins' manifest
With every lesson learned
If yo knowledge were yo wealth
Then it would B well earned
If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not B-lieve in God
But they fear us just the same.

On & On and On &On
My cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
On & On and On &On
Alright till the break of dawn
On & On and On &On
My cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
On & On and On &On
Gotdamit I'm a sing my song

I was born under water
With 3 dollar$ & 6 dimes
Yeah, U may laugh
'Cuz U did not do yo math
Like one, two, three
Like 1, 2, 3
The world keeps turnin'
Oh what a day, what a day, what a day

The man that knows somethin'
Knows that he knows nothin' at all
Does it seem colder in yo summer time
And hotter in yo fall
If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not B-lieve in God
But they fear us just the same.

On & On and On &On
My cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
On & On and On &On
All right until the voltures swarm
On & On and On &On
Mad props 2 the God Ja'Born

I'm feelin' kind of hungry
'Cuz my high is comin' down
Don't feed me yours
'Cuz U food is not indure
I think I need a cup of tea
The world keeps burnin'
Oh what a day, what a day, what a day

U rush in2 destruction
'Cuz U don't have notin' left
The mothership can't save U
So yo ass is gone get left
If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not B-lieve in God
But they fear us just the same

On & On and On &On
My cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
On & On and On &On
U can't fuck with me, so just leave it alone
On & On and On &On
My cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
On & On and On &On
On & On

Appletree Lyrics

Appletree


I'd like to dedicate this to all the children
I have some food in my bag for you
Not the edible food, the food you eat, no
Perhaps some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite
It has infinitely fell on me, so um...

It was a stormy night, you know the kind where the lightnin' strike
And I was hangin' out with some my artsy friends
ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee
The night was long, the night went on, people coolin' out until the
break of dawn
Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick
from my
apple tree x3
And if you don't want to be down, you just don't want to be down

I have a hoe
And I take it everywhere I go
Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know
On and on, and on and on my CYPHER keep's movin' like a rollin' stone
I can't control the soul flowin' in me
ooh wee ooh wee

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my
apple tree x3
And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my

I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you, and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my
apple tree
And if you don't want to be down with me, dum dum diddy
And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my
apple tree
And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
You just don't want to be down,
You just don't want to be down

[Erykah] "Lets See How Ya'll Groove to this"
"Alright"
I'm gettin' tired of your shit
You don't never buy me nothin'
See Everytime you come around
You got to bring Jim, James, Paul, & Tyrone
See why can't we be by ourselves, sometimes
See I've been having this on my mind
For a long time

You and me
Like It used to be, Baby
But ya don't know how to act
So matter of fact
[Chorus]
I think ya better call Tyrone
(Call Him)
And Tell him come on, Help you get your Shit (Come On, Come on)
You need to Call Tyrone

And tell him I said come on
Now everytime I ask you for a little cash
You say no and turn right around and ask me for some ass
Oh, Well hold up
Listen partna
I ain't no cheap thrill
Cause Miss Badu is always comin' for real
And you know the deal
Everytime we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way and your homeboys way
And sometimes your cousin's way
They don't never have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
Try to hang around with stars
Like Badu
I'm gon' tell you the truth
Show and prove
or get the boot
I think ya better, (Erykah Badu-He, he he)
(Call Him)
And tell him come on
Help you get your shit
You need to call Tyrone
(Call Him)
[Erykah Badu]"Hold On"
But ya can't use my phone

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
(repeat 2X)

Verse One:

First time that I saw you boy
It was a warm and sunny day

You make me feel like a itty-bitty girl
What do you do to me

I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings

See it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
Boy don't get me wrong
Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)

Well I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie

"Penitentiary Blues"

Here's my philosophy
Livin' in a penitentiary
Brothers all on the corner
Tryin' to make believe
Turn around ain't got no pot to pee
Make me mad when I see ya sad
Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad
But you can't win when your will is weak
When you're knocked on the ground

Do want me to be so mad yeah
So mad yeah
Oh why world
Why world
Do you want me to be so mad yeah

I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool

Evil, don't you test me
Evil, you won't win

Oh why world
Why world
Do want me to be so mad yeah
So mad yeah
Oh why world
Why world
Do you want me to be so mad yeah
Say why

I am a warrior princess
I have come from the other sun
Gather all of your members
Unite them as one
Move together in harmony
Build a bridge
Now destroy a bridge
Eliminate your weakness
Conquer evil, the demon
And live forever together

Oh why can't we get along and
Take all the funky tones
And make up a funky song
That be bangin on and on
Make me mad when I see ya sad
With the same look ya momma had
But ya can't win when your will is weak
But ya get out ya seat
Oh why Why Why world
Do you want me to be so mad
So mad yeah
