"My Destiny"

"My Destiny"


(I'm the ruler of my destiny - I'm determine what becomes of me!)
(I'm the ruler of my destiny - I'm determine what becomes of me!)
(I'm the ruler of my destiny - I'm determine what becomes of me!)
(I'm the ruler of my destiny - I'm determine what becomes of me!)

There's a story goin' all around
Talking about it everywhere
There's this gossip and this constant sound
Livin' in the life just ain't fair

They try to work me but it's all in vain
They'll get this baby down
They say I'm crazy, but that might well be,
But there'll be no kickin' Chaka around... cause

[Chorus:]
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I fall then it's because of me (If I blow it it's because of me)
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine what becomes of me

I'm aware of what we're here to do
And, do is our only choice
And if you like it'll be me and you,
Singing with this one strong voice:

This is bigger than the both of us
I'm not afraid to walk that line
Just be natural and we can try
Every little thing's gonna turn out fine... cause

[Chorus]

"My Love Is Alive"

"My Love Is Alive"



Well I think it's time to get ready
To realize just what I found
I have lived unaware of what I am
It's all clear to me now, that

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive, my love is alive

Well there's something inside
That's makin' me crazy
Tryin' to keep it together
Cause what I'm saying, I have been saving
And now could be forever

My love is alive, my heart's on fire
Soul is like a wheel, like a hot wire
My love is alive, my heart's on fire
Soul's like a wheel, like a hot wire

There's a mirror inside my mind
Reflectin' the light that shines on me
Hold on to the feeling
Let it be, let it grow
My heart is on fire, my love is alive

Fire in my heart, soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive...

"Night Moods"

"Night Moods"


[Chorus:]
Night moods, I love your night moods
Night moods, You've got the right moods

When you're lying here beside me
Ooh you take my breath away
Baby I feel such love inside me
I'm so glad you're going to stay
Night moods, night moods
Got a need as deep as a canyon
I'm so glad I found my soul companion
I love your night moods
I'm in the right mood
I love your night moods

Night time is the right time
Night time is the one time I'm loving you
Loving you

All day long I'm thinking of
And I just can't wait 'til the sun goes down
I can't help it, how I love it
Count the moments 'til you come 'round
Night moods, night moods
Ain't no use in talkin' about it
All I know is that I can't live without it
I love your night moods
I'm in the right mood
I love your night moods

Night time is the right time
Right now is the one time I'm close to you
Close to you

Got a need as deep as a canyon
I'm so glad I found my soul companion
Night moods, I love your night moods

Night moods (I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it at night)
Night moods (I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it at night)
Night moods (I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it at night)
Night moods (I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it at night)

"Nothing's Gonna Take You Away"

"Nothing's Gonna Take You Away"


You, you carry your dreams in your eyes
And if someone hurts you, you cry
And you, you live on a cloud in the sky
And wish on the stars shooting by

Don't let the little woes of life harm me
Let the joy in the life your lead
Let it charm you
Let it charm you

[Chorus:]
Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart
Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart

You, you go barefootin' when there are showers
You like to listen to coltrane for hours
And you're gonna need smeone standing by
And on me you can always rely

"Our Love's In Danger"

"Our Love's In Danger"



Our love
Our love's in danger
If you don't hurry home
I might
Give it to a stranger

I never wanted you to go
I told you many times before
I need your loving day to day
I get so tired when you're far away
You got me staring at the ceiling
Better come quick
You can't make it too soon

I never want to do you wrong
But you been gone away so long
I don't know what you expect of me
That's what I'm trying so hard to be
Don't force me into another's arms
Our love
Our love
Our love

Get the picture, I'm here all alone
Ain't you worried
About your happy home
What I'm thinking
Makes me feels ashamed
Tell me who's to blame

Tell me what to do about the
Strangers coming from everywhere
Strangers calling my name
Just don't know what to do about it

"Packed My Bags"

"Packed My Bags"


I can tell by the look that's in your eyes
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise
I'm just holdin' you down

[BRIDGE:]
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues

Me and the baby gonna miss you
I see your smile in her face
I only wish we were with you now
It's a lonely, lonely place

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS:]
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

I know you'll make it
You deserve it, you know you do
The blues, you'll shake it
I'll, I'll focus our view

Oh, don't let them change you
Come like thieves in the night
Oh, don't' let them rearrange you, boy
You've got to do what's right

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

Once a month, each time you say
Goin' away, oh
I don't wanna see you go
No no no no no no no no no no

Oh you, you've got to make it
You've got to make it, boy
Go on now

"Papillon (Hot Butterfly)"

"Papillon (Hot Butterfly)"


A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away

[Chorus:]
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize

All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon

Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies

[Chorus]

Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson

"Pass It On (A Sure Thing) (Pasa Lo Esta Seguro)"

"Pass It On (A Sure Thing) (Pasa Lo Esta Seguro)"



A brand new meaning
For what's goin' on today
I felt it comin'
Thought I'd pass it on your way
In case your head's in the mighty fog
There's a thought, a show in the dark, I say

Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on

Pass it on, a sure thing, baby

Good things coming
If you care to wait your turn
Heart's desire
With enough here left to burn
Because the love's all around you see
If you're lovin' you will receive, I say

Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on

A sure thing, baby
Make it feel good tonight
Make it feel real good
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Well, well, well, well

Just imagine havin' to know it all
No more guessin'
'Cause your left hand's in the thought
Consult me when you need a friend
Pass it on and you're feelin' lost, well

Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on
Pass it on, sure thing, pass it on

"Pop My Clutch"
(feat. Queen Latifah)

"Pop My Clutch"
(feat. Queen Latifah)



There may be some youngbloods
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man

[Chorus:]
Pop, pop my clutch [4x]

Don't worry `bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand

Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device

Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch

[Chorus]

I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man

Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right
