"Braid My Hair"

When you look at me, I know you see
a 15 year old, gettin his dough
back and fourth to the studios
hoppin outta limosines, rockin the latest jeans
Jordans, fresh, T-shirts, new
and even though these things are true
its hard work and sometimes I just wanna go home
and tell my girl to

(chorus)braid my hair
C'mon and braid my hair
back in my hood, feelin good
no worries or no cares
baby, use your hands to make me feel alright
and take away the stress and drama in my life
while you braid my hair

you may think that im complainin,
but that's not the case, all im saying is my body it gets weak
my mind gets tired.
I need sleep, but I gotta keep travelin on the road
doin these shows, New York to Dallas
Dallas to Philly
its the rules of the game, that I chose to play
but sometimes I wanna say
baby wont you braid my hair...

(chorus)

Sit me down like you love me
do it anyway you want, baby take it slowly
front to back, side to side, criss cross
get creative with it girl do your thang
put it down like you love me
let your fingers do the walkin
and your lips do the talkin in my ear
tell me what I wanna hear
I swear, I can't wait for you to braid my hair...

(chorus)
C'mon and braid my hair
back in my hood, feelin good
no worries or no cares
baby, use your hands to make me feel alright
and take away the stress and drama in my life
while you braid my hair

Do what you wanna do
baby its up to you
sit me between your legs
girl wont you braid my hair
baby make me feel alright
and make it last all night
(and take away the stress and drama in my life)

"2 Train"

(This is the Uptown 2 Train, 42nd Street Next)
(Watch the closing doors)

Theres a baby girl
That I know
And shes so fine
I meet her everyday
After school
Walk her to the train
To spend some time
Cause what her papa dont know
Won't hurt me
Mama thinks that
I'm a cutie
She can't date till her sweet sixteen
But we just tryna do out thang

So I meet her at the 2 train
Everyday
Riding all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear
The only time i get the time
Is on the 2 train
Is on the 2 train

We always meet in the back car
So no one else can interrupt
So much to talk about
So little time
I wish we didnt have to rush
Cause by 42nd - to have a listen
77nd - Reminising
96th Street - bout to start kissin¯
And I'm about to do my thang

So I meet her at the 2 train
Everyday
Riding all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear
The only time i get the time
Is on the 2 train
Is on the 2 train

I can't wait
'Till we dont have to worry bout what no one
Has to say
'Cause we'll be free
Won't have to sneak around no more
But we're here now
And the futures not so far away
So until that day I'll say

So I meet her at the 2 train
Everyday
Riding all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear
The only time i get the time
Is on the 2 train
Is on the 2 train

(You're on the Bronx bound 2 train)
(Next stop 110th Street)

"Could U Be"

Lisa had me thinkin that she was the only one for me
And Nikki had those angel eyes

Then outta nowhere you came walking in my life

Now I don't care about those other girls
