"What's The 411?"
(feat. Grand Puba)


[Chorus]
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on, hun
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

[Verse 1 - Grand Puba]
Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
Let suckas step up and see
I'll flip the script and get harder than Jepoardy
I shot the sherif and the muthafuckin deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Mary J. Blige]
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin that, No I'm not havin that
You gotta do alot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just aint runnin up in me
I need a man who's lookin out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you aint with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?

[Bridge]

"When You Wish Upon A Star"
(feat. Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti)

"When You Wish Upon A Star"
(feat. Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti)


When a star is born, they receive a gift or two
One of them is this, they have the power to make a dream come true

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

And if your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

Fate is kind, so kind, she brings to those who love
Love's sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, your dreams come true
Your dreams come true

"Where I've Been"
(feat. Eve)

"Where I've Been"
(feat. Eve)


[Spoken]
(To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands...
Well I understand that)

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

I grew up as a 70's baby
Brought up in poverty and sin
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
Never cared how she was dealin' within
I knew all the words to
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
And when it came to the biggest crusher
No he wasn't my man
At the age of seven years old
A strange thing happened to me
Before I even saw
My life had flashed before me
And I've got the mark to show
And it became a thang of beauty
So I gotta let you know
That my life, that my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

Now mama's workin' hard all day
And she said this before she left home
Take care of your little brother
Have the place cleaned when I get home
All these priorities
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
But at the time for me
Being grown had seemed so lone
Woke up and I'm seventeen
With nothing going for me
Except the fact that I sing
You know it hurts so much
From all the sights that I've seen
From abusin' the hole in trust
You probably couldn't take some of things
That I've lived in my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's hard and the street's a jungle (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Especially with your pretty colors (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
So stay low and keep it humble (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
Black men keep searching and you'll be found

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

[Rap by Eve]
In this world of continuous bullshit and full clips
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
Jealousy rules the world, take shit at any cost
Gotta change our state of life, keep it worth livin'
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
What about encouragin' the youth to do well
What about givin' back- what about unifying
Shit we all black- get it together
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
Learn to change the negative to positive situations
Don't hold the lessons that you learn
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

"Why"
(feat. Rick Ross)

"Why"
(feat. Rick Ross)


[Ross:]
With the ghetto in my rear view , you are my every tomorrow.
The world is ours... Mary J. Blige

[Mary J Blige:]
I’ve been lying in my bed, crying til my eyes are red
We both said that things will change
But it’s still the same shade of gray
I get mad you walk away
When did it all just start to fade
I know you’re fed up so am I
But we just can’t say goodbye
Boy, you know I love you
But I just can’t go on no more
Feelin this way

[Chorus:]
You got me sayin’ why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right?
Just can’t get it right
Don’t know why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right
No matter how hard we try

[Rick Ross:]
I got her looking at me sideways
Live every night like it’s a Friday
My conversations are so monumental
Licking on her ear, I’m whispering a couple riddles
She fell in love with my technique
I made her call me boss when in the bedsheets
We both coming from the same place
All in her both coming at the same place
Still on my dope boy swag
Top down on my Cam’ron, Oh boy swag
Played the hand we were dealt from the beginning, baby
You the dealer, cut the deck, while we winning baby

[Chorus:]
Got me sayin’ why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right?
Just can’t get it right
Don’t know why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right
No matter how hard we try

[Mary J Blige:]
Why can’t we turn love around
We build it up to break it down
If you knew the way I feel
You would know that this love is real
But live in heaven, go to hell then
Go right back,uh, what's the lesson
Tired of stressin’, get the message
I can’t live in this depression no more
Boy, you know I love you
But I just can’t go on feeling like this no more

[Chorus:]
Got me sayin’ why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right?
Just can’t get it right
Don’t know why, why, why?
Can’t we get it right
No matter how hard we try

Back on my own again (back on my own, back on my own)
I don’t want this to end (I don’t want it to end)
But baby I need a friend (I need, I need) to show me some love
And I think it should be you baby

[Rick Ross:]I love this part right here, look where we came from Mary

[Mary J. Blige:] (I just want you to show me, to show me some love yeah)

[Rick Ross:]
Characteristics of a charismatic nigga, 20 million on a villa, what’s illa
We livin’, lil boys gotta work at that
Gettin’ cash, so I snatch my girl a perfume bag
Blowin kisses out the drop top, that nigga got gwop
Stay in ya house when the block hot
Makin love that will not stop,
Bed sheets to the countertop
Diamonds my baby down to rock

"Willing & Waiting"

"Willing & Waiting"


Willing & waiting
But it's all up to you, ohhh

The very first time I laid my eyes on you
I knew you were the one
Nothing can compare to all the times
We both had some fun
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you

I-I-I'm willing & waiting
So in love with you (so in love with you)
Willing & waiting
Boy it's on you (it's on you)
Willing & waiting
Boy I need the truth (boy I need the truth)
Willing & waiting
So in love with you

Every time boy I take one look at you
I see the sun just shine
When we're alone never want the night to end
Cause you're the one I want
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you

Willing & waiting
So in love with you (so in love with you)
Willing & waiting
Boy it's on you (on you)

Waiting for you

"Wonderful"

"Wonderful"


I'm feelin' too much like night
I need a little bit more day

And if you need my lovin' now
I will never let you down

[B-Section:]
And when I feel

And baby when you're gone

And baby when you're here
With me it's wonderful

Never felt so loved
I never, I never

Felt so loved

Now baby it's no small feat
For you to interrupt my sleep
I wanna feel you next to me
Listenin' to the Iseleys
You say you see so much in me
'Cause you see the God in me
And if you need my lovin' now
I will never let you down

And when I feel
Your touch

And when with my eyes
Wide shut
I never felt so loved
And baby when you're gone
I miss you so much
And baby when you're here

Look in my eyes.
