Lyrics
Tyrese/Shelene-Promise
[Intro]
Yeah, what cha'all wanna do?
At cha' one mo' time, nahmean?
But this time, you ain't gonna be makin' no more promises
1 - Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
I gave you the world
And you tried to give it back
Tell me what is goin' on
There was nothing wrong
With you lovin' me right back
Then I turned around and you're gone
You told me that your love was real and now
And I believed you, I believed you, oh baby
Now I'm convinced that we don't feel the same
Cuz you're so far away, and I miss my baby
So, no
Repeat 1
There's no other girl who I'd let take advantage
Of all my time and energy
You claimed you loved me, girl
Then you creep behind my back
I thought we were meant to be
You told me that your love was real and now
And I believed you, I believed you
Now I'm convinced that we don't feel the same
Cuz you're so far away, and I miss my baby
Come on baby
Repeat 1
[Shelene]
Yo, yo, you got me heated but I stay undefeated
Cuz I can't take the bull
What, whatcha gon' do what, I brings it on
Forget the clones, it's all 'bout me
Now I'm showing off, getting off, blowing freaking minds off
You're petty, don't make me flip, cuz you're slippin'
Intermission, I'm ever ready serving whippings
It's like, oh no, what you lying 'bout D.L. is all out
You can't get with it, so quit, you're illigit'
No doubt 'bout it, word is bond
I'm lethal, can't nothin' get past me but weeks gone
I remain jiggy with the illiest flow
So niggas wise up and act like you know
You tried to play me, Shelene ain't havin' it
Tyrese ain't havin' it
So sing your song, make 'em never forget
Don't promise if you can't deliver
How you figure, now I'm steaming
I got you tripping in your scheme, what?
Repeat 1 until fade
Tyrese/Peter Gunz-Do You Need
[Peter Gunz]
Ha, yeah, Peter Gunz
You know that cat with the Rolex
From the BX pushin' the GS Lex, yes
Playas still call him Lex cuz he flea-X
Any borough in the Montero
Headed to Queens on the Triboro and see my shortie in the QB
Spend some QT with my cutie, do my duty on the booty
And only you
See me up in the dark room, sexin' with Tyrese and the CD
[Tyrese]
You make me happy and I know that it's true
There's somethin' about the things you do
Takes all my cares away
Makes me sacrifice everything I want in life
[Stephanie]
You could never ever find another lover
Who would love like I do
(Like I do, you will never find another love)
And you would never ever need another
If you let me love you
(If you let me love you, oh yeah)
[Stephanie & Tyrese]
1 - Do you need what I need
Someone who's true
No time for denying what I feel for you
So let's keep it real
Like the way you make me feel
Don't make no mistakes, girl
I'll be there for you
[Tyrese]
I tried to stop my feelings
But I can't get enough
Girl, I crave for your love
Don't stop this fantasy
Let me know that you can be with me
Please relieve this agony
[Stephanie]
You could never ever find another lover
Who could love you like I do
(Love me, you would never find another lover)
And you would never ever need another
(You)
If you let me love you
(If you let me love you, whoa)
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
[Peter Gunz]
Yeah, oh, now you can find me on the red-eye to LA
Posting on the cell-ay, tellin' my man Greg, find Kell-ay
Meet me in the tell-ay
Seems she got the hots for this kid out in Watts
Known for bussin' shots, Tyrese, that's your man
Tell that cat beat it, honey rolls with Peter
His service no longer needed
Ballin' with the playas on the West
Got me trippin' in the Fox Hill Mall trickin'
My dogs think I'm slippin'
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
I'll be
Oh
Tyrese, what
Stephanie Cooke
Peter Gunz
Uh, what we do
uh, all day, ay'day
Come on
Tyrese-Lately
Verse 1
I can't imagine life without you by my side
This is love baby
That I'm feelin' and I'm hopin' that you're feelin the same way
Things tend to slip my mind
Like how you like to wine
And dine baby with romantic lights
You mean a lot to me in so many ways
(chorus)
Lately
Have I told you I love you?
Lately
Have I told you, you still mean the world to me?
Have I told you I love you?
I'll be your wishin' well tell me want baby
Verse 2
Don't think twice of our love
I say these things because I love you
But its hard to explain and I'm hopin' that you're feelin' the same way
You know that all of my feelins are inside
And verbally
I tend to forget how much I-L-O-V-E-U really means
oohh
(Chorus)
Lately
Have I told you I love you?
Lately
Have I told you, you still mean the world to me?
Lately
Have I told you I love you?
I'll be your wishin' well tell me what you want baby
Bridge
Try your hardest to deal
Yes I forgot but you know how I feel
Things slip my mind baby
And thats a fact
Tell me you love me and I'll tell you-back baby
Chorus till end

Can I hit in the MORNING

And even worse if I was broke would you WANT ME?
If I couldn't get you finer things

If we couldn't see the sun risin off the shore of Thailand
would you RIDE THEN, if I wasn't DROPPIN?
If I wasn't ah, eight figure nigga by the name of Jigga
would you come around me or would you clown me?
If I couldn't flow futuristic would ya
put your two lips on my wood and kiss it - could ya
see yourself with a nigga workin harder than 9 to 5
contend with six, two jobs to survive, or
do you need a BALLA? So you can shop and tear the MALL UP?
Brag, tell your friends what I BOUGHT YA
If you couldn't see yourself with a nigga when his dough is low
Baby girl, if this is so, yo..
Chorus: repeat 2X

Ambition makes me, so horny

If you got nuttin, baby boy, you betta
"Git Up, Git Out and get somethin" Shit!
I like a, lot of P-rada, Alize and Vodka
Late nights, candlelight, then I tear the cock up
Get it up I put it down everytime it pop up, huh
I got to snap em, let it loose, then I knock ya
Feel the juice, then I got ya, when you produce a rocka
I let you meet momma and introduce you to poppa

Never test my patience nigga, I'm high maintenance
HIGH CLASS, if you ain't rollin, bypass

While yall playa hate we in the upper millions
Whats the dealings (huh) its like we all have been soft
Ever since Snoop came through and brushed the building

More money more cash more chilling
I know they gone criticize the hook on this song
Like I give a fuck Im just a crook on this song
Bed-Stuy Brooknon took on the world

Sex murder and mayhem romance for the street
Man and I tell ya itll be the best seller
Chorus: (2X)
DMX:

Thugs for life one night with this rap shit
Let em know when I rip they know what ll happen
When we clap shit
Actin like we owe em something
Then we show em something
Talk greasy I think they found em down the road or something
Fuckin wit a madman in a bad mood
Its like fuckin wit a mad dog that wasnt fed food
And the only thing thats stoppin him is you
Cuz the only thing that he ll be choppin is you
Topic include
Droppin a clue and the response from the street
This was one dog that loves raw meat
But gettin back to just cuz I love my niggaz

One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin shocked when the bullet hit
Oh hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you

So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroll
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin n shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, causer Your Majesty, just happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit..

Chorus (with variation in last line)
[Jay-Z]
Gotta friend that even though I been better
Left him in the cold with a thin sweater
Rap niggaz on Prozac get the bozack, niggaz threw

Let the dough stack, way before Big had the gold Ac'
Dame had the Lex black
Motherfuckers wanna test that, stress that
And right where you're stressed, where you rest at
I suggest that, niggaz invest, in a vest, when I come through

Who the fuck got a VS, fuckin BM's on the road

Leave the info, Jaz on the seat, and then

Chorus (with variations)

Faith Evans-My First Love
To fall in love was something that my heart was dreaming of,
and then there came the day when I found you
then heaven came to earth and you were my angel,
I fell in love with you
no one but you
and suddenly I saw the change that came into your eyes
I feel you were afraid to tell me why
I thought this thing called love would be forever,
I thought our love was true
and now the pain of losing you
(chorus)
If you never know just what you mean,
you are my first love
if you never know,
you're everything
you are my first love
tell me how a thing that brings such joy can bring such pain
and how could something so wrong seem so right
we never had the chance to make it get better
we never said goodbye
I never wanna feel the pain of losing love again,
'cause love just has a way of breaking down,
next time I'm gonna pray that this will be better
the second time around,
so here's to love that's lost and found
I won't cry, no, I won't break down
even though inside it hurts so bad
next time I will make love last
though you will always have a place in my heart
(chorus)
if you never know just what you mean,
you are my first love
if you never know,
you're everything
you are my first love
my first love, no one could ever take your place, no, no
Faith Evans-Never Gonna Let You Go
If I had one wish, boy
I'd wish you next to me
and it could be in summer, fall or spring, boy
'cause you make my heart sing
I wanna give my heart, my soul, my love to you
oh baby, oh baby
'cause every day I'm not with you
I'm missing you like crazy
I need for you to...
(Chorus)
I need for you to love me, hold me, touch me
down deep in my soul, and never let it go
at the love we share, no one compares to you
I'll never let you go 'cause I really love you so
oh, I...
I'll never let you go, oh no
If you must know the truth, boy
I'm nothing without you
now I know what people mean, boy
when it's too good to be true
because you bring me joy, good love,
good times, such happiness
oh baby, oh baby
and every day I think the lord for you,
I feel so blessed
that's why I need for you to...
(chorus)
I need for you to love me, hold me, touch me
down deep in my soul, and never let it go
of the love we share, no one compares to you
I'll never let you go 'cause I really love you so
oh I...
I'll never let you go, oh no
If you only knew
what you really do
ain't never had no one that does it quite like you
you could spend half a lifetime
trying to find one like you
that's why I am so glad I found you
I wish a upon a star, it came true
darling, I just need for you to...
(chorus)
I need for you to love me, hold me, touch me
down deep in my soul, and never let it go
of the love we share, no one compares to you
I'll never let you go 'cause I really love you so
oh I...
I'll never let you go, oh no.
Faith Evans-Keep The Faith
(chorus)
if i just hold my peace,
let the lord fight my battles
if i just keep the faith through the night
i've seen the lightning flashing, heard the thunder roll
i feel the cold winds blowing,
trying to conquer my soul
(chorus)
i hear the voice of reason, telling me to fight on
'cause i know i've come too far to turn around
weeping may endure for a night,
but joy is gonna come tomorrow
though i go through the fire,
i shall come out as pure gold
when problems come just keep the faith,
it won't be long until the day
things will turn around if you just,
just stand your ground
(chorus)
i only have to keep the faith,
i only have to keep the faith,
the faith
VERSE 1
It's been a long time since we started
And all of the hurting we've been through I find that I still in love with you
Searchin' and searchin', looking for better
Greener pastures never grew cause everything I needed I already had with you
CHORUS
Been around and tried to find someone to replace the love that made us one
No one else could ever make me whole,
you for me and only me for you
Come to me and we can start things new,
heaven knows the way that I miss you
Baby please don't take your love from me,
Only you can make my life complete
VERSE 2
I've learned a lesson, never to let the one you love slip away
Oh baby, it took this tragedy
For me to see that you are the only one, baby you complete me
BRIDGE
I never knew a love, until you came and showed me what it was
And I'll never let you go, never again
I promise you this time, forever
We'll make it last and things will be better
Better thatn before
Repeat Chours Till End
Kelly Price-Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
But lately I can feel you've grown away from me
And inside I pray it's not too late to find a remedy
Don't wanna live a lie
I don't wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
And I'm searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that you're holding
Dreams that won't ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing you'll come back to me
Cause I'm trying not to feel the pain, that lonliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to dream
It's so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream you're here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream
