Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- Rubberband Man .. The Spinners


Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me were goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
so high you won't come down

Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam

Once I went to hear them play at a club outside of town


Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- Respect Yourself .. The Staple Singers


If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day

Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself

If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you
Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man.


Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- ABC .. Jackson 5

Things you never, never knew before...

Michael: And why 2 plus 2 makes four
Now now now, I'm gonna teach you...
J5: Teach you, teach you

Michael: All about love, dear...

All you gotta do is reapeat after me.

Jermaine: I'm a going to teach how to sing it out!
Michael: Come on, come one, come on

Sing a simple melody
ALL: That's how easy love can be!


Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- L.O.V.E. (Love) .. Al Green


I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)

L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun.


Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- People Get Ready .. Curtis Mayfield And The Impressions


People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

People get ready there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord.


Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- STOMP .. Brothers Johnson


(Johnson and Temperton)

Steppin' out the weekends open wide
Fill it up let's blast the jams and ride
While we're cruisin' around in the street
Listen up for the party in feet

Slap me five
that's the place we've arrived
It's alive
Ev'rybody take it to the top
We're gonna stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel alright
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light

Runnin' runnin' runnin'
The set is hot
There's people wall to wall
Old gones young things
Short ones standing tall
Grab the one with the smile on her face
And hit the floor and stay right on the case
The heat is on
And the funk just won't leave us alone
Ev'rybody take it to the top

We're gonna Stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel all right
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light

Gonna Stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel all right
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light

STOMP

Stomp, step down in it
Put your foot where you feel the fit
Stomp you don't want to quit
Put your heels where you're feelin' it

Stomp, step down in it
Put your foot where you feel the fit
Stomp you don't want to quit
Put your heels where you're feelin' it

Stomp, step down in it
Put your foot where you feel the fit
Stomp you don't want to quit
Put your heels where you're feelin' it

[Instrumental Interlude]

Gonna Stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel all right
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light

Stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel all right
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light...

Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey

Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- Wake Up Everybody .. Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes


Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.

Chorus
The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time.

Repeat Chorus

Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- All My Girlz .. Keke Palmer


All My Girls...
On The Floo...
Here we go, here we go, here we go, now
All night, right now, here we go, here we go, come on

Verse 1
This ones for all the ladies who can hear me
The girl next door or the little shawdy listening
So beautiful no matter your role
Who get through rain or storm drama ignoring
Sometimes our situations get complicated
We've been involved with things we never thought we'd make it
But when we clear our head you know
Nothing can hold us man if we understand

Don't loose yourself girl don't give up
Don't change go straight for what you want
Just love yourself and all that you do

Chorus
To All my girlz in the hood with their headstrong
For all my girls that live the struggle that is going on
And all my girls growing up with their daddies gone
All My Girlz, we're gonna make it
To All my girlz in the hood that be having fun
For all my girls that keep a smile no matter what's wrong
And all my girls looking back on how far they've come
That's the way we gotta play it

Verse 2
This ones for all the ladies watching over
Who's down for you when it seems you can't get over
The ones you call whenever you fall
To get through pain and joy always there for
So when it's tough on the block, dust ya shoulders
It may get hard sometimes, you'll get over
Never settle you're worth it you know
So live your life full and you will understand

Don't loose yourself girl don't give up
Don't change go straight for what you want
Just love yourself and all that you do

Chorus
To All my girlz in the hood with their headstrong
For all my girls that live the struggle that is going on
And all my girls growing up with their daddies gone
All My Girlz, we're gonna make it
To All my girlz in the hood that be having fun
For all my girls that keep a smile no matter what's wrong
And all my girls looking back on how far they've come
That's the way we gotta play it

All My Girls...
On The Floo...
Here we go, here we go, here we go, now
All night, right now, here we go, here we go, come on

All my girlz in the hood move something
From the O to LA throw it up and
Down South and through the A get it Crunk
Cuz that's the way we like to play it
From the Lu to VA Shake something
Chi-Town to MIA feel it thumping
All My Girlz around the way turn it up
Cuz that's the way we like to play, Yeah

Chorus
To All my girlz in the hood with their headstrong
For all my girls that live the struggle that is going on
And all my girls growing up with their daddies gone
All My Girlz, we're gonna make it
To All my girlz in the hood that be having fun
For all my girls that keep a smile no matter what's wrong
And all my girls looking back on how far they've come
That's the way we gotta play it

Chorus
To All my girlz in the hood with their headstrong
For all my girls that live the struggle that is going on
And all my girls growing up with their daddies gone
All My Girlz, we're gonna make it
To All my girlz in the hood that be having fun
For all my girls that keep a smile no matter what's wrong

Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- Proud .. Heather Small


What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- To Empower .. Res


I know that I may seem laid back or even unconcerned
But I know there are so many lessons that I need to learn
And some tendency is leave behind
Cause I'm not a warrior in this lifetime

But I know what I believe
In myself and my desires and dream
And you can go, and you can run with me
And we can leave all the agony
Don't care how hard it'd be
Let's go victoriously

I know that I may say the dancing is without finesse
And I know that I can't do it all by myself
But I won't let you see me cry
I'll get it right
In this lifetime

And I know what I believe
In myself and my desires and dream
And you can go, and you can run with me
And we can leave all the agony
Don't care how hard it'd be
Let's go victoriously

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

I know, I know what I believe
In myself and my desires and dream
And we can go, and you can run with me
And we can leave all the agony
Don't care how hard it'd be
Let's go victoriously

I know what I believe
In myself and my desires and dream
And we can go, and you can run with me
And we can leave all the agony
Don't care how hard it'd be
Let's go victoriously

Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack lyrics -- Let Your Baby Go .. Erica Rivera


I ain't too young to know
That life has its highs and lows
And things won't always turn out quite like I think
And though I have much to learn
To ??? the twist and turns
I know that I'm capable to deal with what life brings me

I'm strong, I'm ready to be on my own
Let me spread my wings
Let me go
Don't hold so tight
Cause I can fly alone
I need you to trust me
Have faith and let me make it on my own
Please let me your baby go

You've given me courage to be a person of dignity
You've been my example I've been blessed to have you
But your baby's strong (But I know you can see in me)
I can stand alone (I can stand on my own two feet)
Don't you be afraid to send me in this living
I need you to believe in me

I'm strong, I'm ready to be on my own
Let me spread my wings
Let me go
Don't hold so tight
Cause I can fly alone
I need you to trust me
Have faith and let me make it on my own
Please let me your baby go

You gave me everything
Now I ???

And I know that I will always have you
To lean on when I need to

Let me spread my wings
Let me go
Don't hold on so tight
Cause you know that I can fly alone

I need you to trust me
Have faith and let me make it on my own
Please let me your baby go

Please your baby go
