"Too High For Love"

"Too High For Love"


Do you know what my name is?
Or are you so caught up in you that we’re just strangers
Even though I know all about you ‘cause you’re famous
At least inside your head that’s going on
Tell me what cloud you’re on

Come down, up there
You really can’t feel a thing now baby
I’m here, right here
What is it gonna take now baby?
No air, up there
Floating in outer space when I’m the one
But you’re too high for love

It’s gonna get lonely
When the world revolves around you and you only
I can tell you’re feeling something
But won’t show me
At least inside my head that’s going on
Tell me what cloud you’re on

Come down, up there
You really can’t feel a thing now baby
I’m here, right here
What is it gonna take now baby?
No air, up there
Floating in outer space when I’m the one
But you’re too high for love

Are you so high you’re afraid to fall?
Trust me, I’ve got you
Don’t you worry at all
Just let it go
Get over your pride
And open your eyes

Come down, up there
You really can’t feel a thing now baby
I’m here, right here
What is it gonna take now baby?
No air, up there
Floating in outer space when I’m the one
But you’re too high for love

Come down, up there
You really can’t feel a thing now baby
I’m here, right here
What is it gonna take now baby?
No air, up there
Floating in outer space when I’m the one
But you’re too high for love

Baby come down, won’t you come down? (‘Cause I love you)
Baby come down, won’t you come down? (and I need you baby, I do)
Baby come down, won’t you come down? (I do need you)
Baby come down, won’t you come down?
Baby come down, won’t you come down? (baby come down)

"Troubled World"
(feat. Kelly Price & Jessica Reedy)



This song right here
Goes out for all my brothers and sisters
All across the land
No matter what you're going through
You gotta keep your head up
'Cause God is with you
God is with you

Troubled world that I see
Every day through my eyes
So beautiful God created the all
Many people many places
Lord have mercy
My Earth was separated

[Chorus:]
And I'm just trying
To get along
In this world on my on
And I'm just trying
To get along
In this world on my on

I shall never worry
'Cause I'm not alone
God is with me
And I know He won't let me go
So if you are out there and you're lonely
Just remember Faith is... and holding on

[Chorus:]
And I'm just trying
To get along
In this world on my on
{On my on}
And I'm just trying
To get along
{All I can do is trying}
In this world on my on

And it's all a part of life
All the pain and the strive
One day will understand
That there is a master plan
There is a reason for all we're going through
There is a promised land
And He promised it to me and you

[Chorus:]
And I'm just trying
To get along
{To get along}
In this world on my on
{In this world}
And I'm just trying
To get along
{All I can do is try}
In this world on my on
{In this world on my on}

I'm still trying

[Chorus:]
And I'm just trying
To get along
{I gotta get along}
In this world on my on
{I just want to get along}
And I'm just trying
To get along
In this world on my on
{On my on}

"Troubled World (Part 2)"
(feat. Estelle & Lil' Mo)



I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
But I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows what it's like to be me
Nobody knows that the reason I sing, is to speak life to my reality
I wake up each day at quarter to eight
Can't be late got kids to raise got money to make got bills to pay and dreams to chase
Even though I fly first class VIP pass caviar and champagne fills my glass
Living that life I'm popping them tags but I still can't catch a cab
I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
Cause I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
[Estelle]
It's a troubled world that we're living in
A crazy world that I know you feel it spinning in
I know we're trying to live right but trouble's all around me
I don't get arrested now I'm lucky that I got me
And all these buildings falling down
I wonder how much longer this earth will be around
I'm scared to have a child and bring him in this plate cause
We don't know how much more of this about to damage
Imagine if this place that Lennon said exists
Imagine if every child had somewhere to live
I wanna do some more than just imagining
But for now I'll take a get by and wish it to the wind
And I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
[repeat]

"Tru Love"

"Tru Love"


[Verse 1:]
Six Years five months
That's how long we've been havein' this thing
We've got every moment hasn't been perfect
But still when it's perfect it feels
Like we're the only two people who have somethin' real
Now 3 years two weeks
That's how long we've been raisin' our family
And I wouldn't go tradin
The love we got
So don't go changin'
I love you just the way you are

[Chorus:]
It's true love
When you say you need me like I need you
And you can't be without me
Like I can't be without you
It's true love
When we spend time talking on the phone
Cause when we're not around each other we don't want to be alone
It's true love, love, love, love
Don't you know it's good to be in love, love, love, love
Just believe me truthfully cause
Love is never ever makin you cry
Before I tell you a lie
I'll give my life
Cause that true love

[Verse 2:]
Now when the love is right
Somehow you just know
Because you hold it tight
And you don't want to let it go
And it's so deep inside of you that
You just can't take it cause it fills up your heart
And you just, you can't replace it (Oh no)
Somebody's makin love
Non-stop tonight
And they can't make enough
I know what it feels like
Grab your lover by the hand
Say that you understand
How love really works
So good that it hurts

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Cause I don't need nobody but you in my life oh baby
Those of you that understand what I'm sayin'
Sing along with me say
Cause I don't need nobody but
You in my life oh baby
Those of you that understand what I'm sayin'
Sing along with me

[Chorus]

"True Colors"
(with Kelly Price & Fantasia)



You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
Darkness inside you makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours shining through
See your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colours
True colours
Beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
And you know I'll be there

But I see your true colours
Shining through
See your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colours
True colours
Beautiful

Just call me up and you know I’ll be there

I see your true colours
Shining through
See your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours
Your true colours
Beautiful

I see your true colours
Shining through
See your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colours
True colours
True colours
True colours
True colours
Are beautiful
So beautiful
You’re beautiful like a rainbow

"Tryna Get By"

"Tryna Get By"


[Faith Evans:]
Hmmm, yeah
Mhm

We take the good, we take the bad
It's not about what we had
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better
We take the joy, we take the pain
It's not about what you gain
We just tryna by
We just tryna by

Oh, this is the story of my life
Tryna keep the drama and the bullshit away
I stay so busy on my grind
I don't they even pay attention to the things that they say
[The Notorious B.I.G.:]
A nigga never been as broke as me, I like that
Now we're makin' this money, gotta get it while I can
When I was young I had two pair of Lees (besides that)
The pin stripes and the gray, the one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays
While niggas flirt I'm sewing tigers on my shirts, and alligators
You want to see the inside, I see you later
Here comes the drama, oh
That's that nigga with the fake, bloaw!
Why you punch me in my face? Stay in your place
Play your position, here come my intuition
Go in this nigga pocket, rob him while his friends watchin'
His crew's your crew or they might be next

[Faith Evans:]
We take the good, we take the bad
It's not about what we had (what we had)
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better (got to get little bit better)
We take the joy, we take the pain
It's not about what you gain (ain't about what we gain)
We just tryna by
We just tryna by (just tryna get by, yeah)

[The Notorious B.I.G.:]
Look at they man eye, big man, they never try
So we rolled with them, stole with them
I mean loyalty, niggas bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch
Pass the blunt
[Faith Evans:]
No matter how I did it, I had to stay winnin'
If it was 'bout the paper, I was with it (yeah)
[The Notorious B.I.G.:]
I was a shame, my crew was lame
I had enough heart for most of them
Long as I got stuff from most of them
It's on, even when I was wrong I got my point across
They depicted me the boss, of course
My orange box-cutter make the world go round
Plus I'm fuckin' bitches, ain't my homegirls now
Start stackin', dabbled in crack, gun packin'
Nickname Medina make the seniors tote my niñas
From gym class to English pass off a global
The only nigga with a mobile, can't you see like Total

[Faith Evans:]
We take the good, we take the bad
It's not about what we had
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better (tryna get little bit better, better, better, yeah)
We take the joy, we take the pain
It's not about what you gain
We just tryna by
We just tryna by (I said we got to do what it takes to get by, yeah)
We take the good, we take the bad (we take the bad)
It's not about what we had (it's not about what we had)
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better (get a little bit better)
We take the joy, we take the pain
It's not about what you gain
We just tryna by
We just tryna by

We just tryin', tryin', yeah
It's not about what we had
[The Notorious B.I.G.:]
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin' up ([Faith Evans:] takin' the good and bad)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Huh

"Until You Came"

"Until You Came"


[Verse 1]
Love was just a four letter word
Misused to entrust the heart of followers
But it never meant a damn thing to me
Until you came so unexpectedly
Then you curved my whole attitude
Got me feelin' ways that I never thought I could
See really what I'm tryin' to say is I like what I'm feelin'
And I hope you never take it away

[Chorus]
I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
Until you came
Baby I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
And then you came, baby I

[Verse 2]
I can't believe you walked through my defenses
And made me smooth out my rough ends and
You got me open and I'm hopin' that this ain't no act
'Cause I don't want no parts of that
Matter fact, I really hope that you're true
'Cause I wanna invest my time in you
And all my childish dreams with all my conversations
'Cause I know that somethin' special's in the makin' I

[Chorus (1x)]

[Bridge]
Ooh la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

[Faith talking]
Yo! Seriously though, I'm buggin'. I'm, I'm really confused
'Cause I trust you with some things you say, but with other things
I just don't trust you. But my mama said work with it, you know what I mean?
It's like I've been going through all these emotions
And I'm dealin' with stuff I've never dealt with before
It's like you just, hmm, you got me straight trippin' boo.
I don't even know what's wrong with me.
But I hope you understand how I feel, 'cause I really care about you.
So check this out baby.

[Chorus (2x)]

"Way You Move"
(feat. Snoop Dogg)

"Way You Move"
(feat. Snoop Dogg)



From the moment I laid my eyes upon you
I knew that I wanted to
Take a chance on something new
I remember how I felt on that day
When you took my breath away
Words could not explain

And I knew from the start, from the beat of my heart, it was true
I had to have you
I don't know if it's real, but I know how I feel about you
There's somethin bout the way you move
Somethin' 'bout the way you move
You're style is crazy sexy baby, I really like it
I been holding back so long but this feeling's getting stronger
There's something bout the way you move

When I see you I can't even lie, you always blow my mind
And I start to feel those butterflies
Like a little kid in a candy store, I want it more and more
It's just a matter of time before I make you mine

And I knew from the start, from the beat of my heart, it was true
I had to have you
I don't know if it's real, but I know how I feel about you
There's somethin bout the way you move
Somethin' 'bout the way you move
You're style is crazy sexy baby, I really like it
I been holding back so long but this feeling's getting stronger
There's something bout the way you move

[Snoop Dogg:]
I move like I'm glidin, smooth like I'm ridin'
Get up, get out, get yours now get mines in
...
Connected like Verizon
Can you hear me now? Tell me, tell me how you like it
I'll stay with you if you stay with me
I got faith in you, you got faith in me?
We'll take flicks together, two steps together
Dancin, glancing, takin chances
I'm chillin like feelin like this is
The one that I'm gon make my Mrs
We're high when we touch, ..... tough
We lie in the cut, I don't do much
Being wit you, being wit me
Seeing it thru, faithfully
I'll wait for you if you wait for me, gracefully, patiently

Somethin' 'bout the way you move
You're style is crazy sexy baby, I really like it
I been holding back so long but this feeling's getting stronger
There's something bout the way you move
