"Sisterfriend"
(with Nicci Gilbert, Monifah, Syleena Johnson & KeKe Wyatt)



Ever felt broken in two?
Like you’ve been stepped on, hopes gone
It’s all wrong
You don’t know what to do
See sometimes.. life can deal you a hard hand
But as long as you pay attention
You’ll learn your lesson
Hold on and understand

That you are stronger, wiser
Ooh so beautiful to me
Provider, survivor
If ever you’re in need
I’ll lift you higher
Give you hope when you are tired
You can lean on me
My sisterfriend
I will hold your hand, my sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
Because I understand, my sisterfriend

Have you ever questioned yourself?
Felt like you were giving up, moving south, losing trust
Well this is your test
So hold on and don’t be distressed
Right now you’re still on your journey
Don’t be discouraged
See there are challenges

But you are stronger, wiser
Ooh so beautiful to me
Provider, survivor
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll lift you higher
Give you hope when you are tired
You can lean on me
My sisterfriend
I will hold your hand, my sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
Because I’ll understand, my sisterfriend

I’ll be there (bear with me)
‘Cause I care (just call out on me)
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’ve been scared but I made it through
Just keep on going, in my heart I know
That you know what to do
Just lean on my shoulder til the battle’s over

Stronger, wiser
All so beautiful to me
Provider, survivor
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll lift you higher
Give you hope when you are tired
You can count on me
My sisterfriend
I will hold your hand, my sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
‘Cause I understand

Stronger, wiser
Ooh so beautiful to me
Provider, survivor
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll lift you higher
Give you hope when you are tired
You can lean on me
My sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
Because I’ll understand, my sisterfriend
Whatever God has planned oh
My sisterfriend
My sisterfriend
I will hold your hand, my sister
I will hold your hand, my sister
I will hold your hand, my sisterfriend
Friend
I will I will I will uh yea

"Somebody Knows"
(feat. Busta Rhymes)



And the question remains, why was he gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles and who was responsible?

I'm feelin' some type of way
Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
Your life was so profound, can't nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows

We were havin' a good time up in the party
Even though we wasn't really speakin' at the time
And we never got to have a conversation
That still weighs heavy on my mind
Busy ignorin' each other
We didn't know if we be over
In just a matter of time (neighbors call the cops, said they heard mad shots)

I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind
And I still don't have the answers even after all this time

I'm feelin' some type of way
Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
Your life was so profound, can't nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows

Can't believe it's been this long
Twenty years have come and gone
There is so much we need to know (Old school, new school need to learn though)
And until I get some kind of resolution
I cannot choose to let go (yeah)
No help from the police
Only hang on to the memories
Whoever did it better stay low-key
'Cause it's hard to creep them Brooklyn streets

I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind (damn near lost my mind)
And I still don't have the answers even after all this time

I'm feelin' some type of way
Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
Your life was so profound, can't nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows

[Busta Rhymes:]
I don't even know where to start and it's very hard to address it
A conversation dealin' most niggas don't want to mess with
Continue his blessings I sent to you and Mama Wallace
To this day I carry a picture of BIG in my wallet
While I give you these bars, I try not my composure
It has been twenty years and yet you still lookin' for closure
Still can't try over bein' a baby, not havin' my father
My heart continues to go after CJ and Tanyana
Tryna avoid truckin' 'bout it, not to revisit the drama
Let me remind the shooter that the most gangster nigga is karma
Big Poppa, yes, [?] your legacy proper
And [?] to provide the answers in your honor
Frank and Pac, I hope you had the chance to talk and have it fellas
About the truth that would led the way up, both of you ain't tell us
You probably up there talkin' about who really fuckin' did it
Maybe you a sinners sign with some honest answers in it
I walk to Tillery park where we use to smoke with Flanton
Even after all this time, we could never accept it
From Westhouse Brooklyn to bein' one of the great
To the last time we linked up, I shed a tear at your wake

The Notorious B.I.G. was silence forever, Los Angeles are looking for his killer

"Something About Faith (Intro)"


Faith
Faith is the substance of the things
(Things hoped for)
It is the evidence of things not seen
Don't you know I, I have, I have the faith
To conquer anything
Keep the faith

"Sometimes"
(performed by Nicci Gilbert & Helene "Mom" Gilbert)



Mom, I’m telling you, this relationship business
You ain’t tell me it was so hard
Sometimes I just wanna give up, really
Well you know baby
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away
But things gonna get better
If you stick together
Your love will survive
We’ve been through so many changes
Seems like lately all we do is fight
Took a vow that we would make it but I’ve been having some doubts
And you’ve been having some doubts, babe
I know that I love you and I
Know that I don’t like you all the time
Just two people tryna make it through
The hard times and the doubt
But we gon' figure this out baby
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away
But things gonna get better
If we stick together
Our love will survive
Stand up just a time
I know that sometimes I get on your nerves
And you know that sometimes you say s**t that hurt
If we’re wanna make it, gotta stop and take a break
If we don’t we’ll lose all
Let’s figure it out
All you gotta do is
Say it, do it, show it, prove it
When your heart is low
I need a good man to fill me up
All I need is a good man to give me love
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain (Sometimes in love)
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away
But things gonna get better
If we stick together
Our love will survive
Stand up just a time
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain (Sometimes in love)
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away (you gotta take a break)
Stand up just a time
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain
If we’re wanna make it, gotta stop and take a break
If we don’t we’ll lose all
Let’s figure it out
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain (Sometimes in love)
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away
You always showed me
Sometimes in love
If we don’t we’ll lose all
Let’s figure it out
Sometimes in love you gotta take the hurt, you gotta take the pain
Sometimes in love you gotta take a break, gotta get away
Sometimes in love
If we stick together

Boy, you know you have the key to my heart

Living my life without you
Something I don't wanna do
So please don't walk away
And leave me all alone
Baby, stay for just a while

Cuz if you leave
You'll take a piece of me
Why can't you stay

"Stonewall"
(performed by Syleena Johnson)

"Stonewall"
(performed by Syleena Johnson)



I fought a thousand battles with my mind, my love, my soul within
In most of them I hit the ground
Made some impossible decisions
Took the road of lonely visions
Would they be my only weapon

I need to know
How I haven’t lost the heart
How I haven’t fell apart
Even through the hardest times
I’m still standing at the stonewall
And when we even win a prize
Can’t lose me even if you try
It must be something deep inside
It’s got me standing at the stonewall

Sitting, thinking ‘bout the past
Wondering how I made it past
Even in the darkest valleys
Now that the break of day begins
I ready myself for a win
Come and get me if you think you can

I need to know
How I haven’t lost the heart
How I haven’t fell apart
Even through the hardest times
I’m still standing at the stonewall
And when we even win a prize
Can’t lose me even if you try
It must be something deep inside
It’s got me standing at the stonewall

Sure as the sun will rise daily
Nothing to come between you and me
That is where you pulled up your string
To help you through the day
Strong and immovable
Just like the stonewall (stonewall)
Baby face it out
I am still standing at the stonewall

I fought a thousand battles with my mind, my love, my soul within
That must be the call of salvation

I need to know
How I haven’t lost the heart
How I haven’t fell apart
Even through the hardest times
I’m still standing at the stonewall
And when we even win a prize
Can’t lose me even if you try
It must be something deep inside
It’s got me standing at the stonewall

Stonewall
Stonewall

"Stop N Go"

"Stop N Go"


I knew from the start you were running game
You'd fade away like Jordan then cross me over when you come back again
I'm not superwoman so I can't see what's going on in your mind
It's been so long that I strung you along
So many dates, so many hours on the phone
And I know you getting tired of playing the game of cat and mouse
I wonder if I let you catch me, would you run your mouth
So I'm not sure if I wanna

Stop
Go
Just move slow
Let
Go
And enjoy the moment
Stop
Go
So confusing that I
Don't
Know
I feel I wanna explode

We're in the first quarter and I feel I wanna but I know we oughta not
Cuz if I pass it to you there's a chance that you might mess around and drop the rock
So you better make sure in the cut you're the best I've ever seen
Cuz I would hate to have to trade you to another team
It's been so hard playing my emotions off
Knowing that I wanna give in but too afraid to go too far
And I know you're getting tired of playing the game of hard to get
But I wonder if I let you in would you tell your friends
So I'm not sure if I wanna

Stop, go
Just move slow
Let go
And enjoy the moment
Stop, go
So confusing that I
Don't know
I feel I wanna explode

My heart, says yes
My mind, says no
Cuz I don't know if I wanna break down and let go
My heart, says yes
My mind, says no
Cuz I know if I'm ready now I'll be wanting more
More this, more that
More time, to chat
And I'll be wanting a commitment from you and much more attention

That's why I'm so confused
When it comes to loving you

Stop, go
Just move slow
Let go
And enjoy the moment
Stop, go
So confusing that I
Don't know
Feel I wanna explode
Stop, go
Just move slow
Let go
And enjoy the moment
Stop, go
So confusing that I
Don't know
Feel I wanna explode
