See I was resting at the park minding my own
business as I kick up the treble tone
on my radio tape player box, right
just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see ?
Outta nowhere comes the woman I'm dating
investigation maybe she was demonstrating
But nevertheless I was pleased
My day was going great and my soul was at ease
until a group of brothers started bugging out
drinking the 40 oz, going the nigga route
Disrespecting my black queen
holding their crotches and being obscene
At first I ignored them cause see I know their type
They got drunk and got guns and they wanna fight
and they see a young couple having a time that's good
and their egos wanna test a brother's manhood
So they came to test Speech cause of my hair-do
and the loud bright colors that I wear [Boo !]
I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit
and the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it
Well I stay calm and pray the niggaz leave me be
but they're squeezing parts of my date's anatomy
Why, Lord, do brothers have to drill me ?
Cause if I start to hit this man they'll have to kill me

[CHORUS:] I am everyday people (2x)

I told the niggaz please let us pass, friend
I said please cause I don't like killing Africans
but he wouldn't stop and I ain't Ice Cube
but I had to take the brother out for being rude
and like I said before I was mad by then
It took three or four cops to pull me off of him
But that's the story y'all of a black man
acting like a nigga and get stomped by an African

[CHORUS]

All the lovers gonna get my message
They gonna hear this song
They gonna play this song
They gonna call the station and request it
Cause its all about love
Cause you can't find love

[Chorus:]
Dig this
It ain't about being hard
It ain't about being tough
So represent
Throw it up one time
For the man or the woman you love
So if you feel like I feel
Got no problems speaking up
For the one in your life right now

Dig this
It ain't about being fly
It ain't about being slick
So represent
Ladies who ain't love your man
Fellas who ain't love your chick
And if you got what I got
Somebody with that good love
Stand up
For the one in your life right now

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes we get caught up
We don't want to play ourselves
And live honorable
Ladies you know what I mean
When you got a real nice guy
To please your eye
But you don't wanna tell him
Cause you're afraid he gonna think you was waitng
What's up with that
Girl don't you know
How hard it is to find a guy
That look good, got a job, not wasted
And on top of all that, he's straight
You need to be thankful
And show him that he means the world to you
Here's what you need to do
Tell him, "Baby you're my king
"And nothing can compare,
"To how my life has turned out,
"I'm so glad you're here."

[Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
Sometimes there's so much we really wanna say
But we let perception get in our way
Fellas you know what I mean
When you got a girl

Who cook and clean and sexes me
But you don't wanna stay true
Cause your afraid she gonna be thinking she with you
Don't you know how hard it is
To find a chick
That take care of her kids, your kids
And still want to have some more kids
You need to be grateful
And tell your woman in front of your homies
She's all you need
Say, "Baby you're my queen,
"And I would die for you,
"There's no other woman,
"And I'll always be true."

[Chorus:]
Dig this
It ain't about being hard
It ain't about being tough

Fellas who ain't love your chick

[Bridge:]
Don't underestimate the power of your word
You can tear one down, build one up
With the power of your word
So why hold it inside
When you can speak on it tonight
If you got something to say
There's no need to wait
If it hits you like that
And it's real like that
Stop with those games

[Chorus:]

[Verse 1]
It was not your fault
I had your love then lost
Cuz of what was done to me by another man
And yes I know what could've been
But I assumed if I let you in
You'd come along and only hurt me again

[Chorus]
See I tried to love you, tried to love you but I can't
I was wrong about you, wrong about you understand
How I need to love, need to love you but I can't
Try another love again
I don't wanna love again no

[Verse 2]
All these walls I've built
They were built to keep you out
And now I sit alone because I only box myself in
And now before I could dry my face
Before the broken heart could mend
I didn't wanna fall back down to hoping again

[Chorus]
See I tried to love you, tried to love you but I can't
I was wrong about you, wrong about you understand
How I need to love, need to love you but I can't
Try another love again
I don't wanna love again no

[Verse 3]
Maybe, maybe baby
In another space, another time
I would have loved you first cause this feel right
Oh maybe, maybe baby
In another season of my life
Would've had my whole heart, my soul and my mind
But I can't change the past
I can't look away
Just blame it on all the pain he gave
Cuz I know I tried, yes I know I tried

[Chrous]
See I tried to love you but I can't
See I was wrong about you, wrong about you understand
How I need, I need to love you oh but I can't
Try another love again, I don't wanna love again no

You changed my life
It's really happening
It's like I'm in a dream
Your sacrifice
It made me change my mind
Thought all men
Were just the same
(Just the same)
You made me trust again
Made me feel safe
And loved
You didn't pressure me
Gave me a chance
To open up my heart

I won't be the one
To pull away
Tell me you're the man
That's gunna stay
I know
That this gift can last
Say you'll never leave me
And I'll always be right here

Chorus:
This gift
Opened up
My heart to you
This gift
A dream that was built
Just for two
This gift
Is everything I cherished
You want my hand in marriage
Your love
Is the greatest gift of all

This gift
Is everything I couldn't have
This gift
I accept now take my hand
This gift
Showed me how to love thee
This is how it should be
Your love
Is the greatest gift of all

You are the only man
To show me
That love don't hurt
You understand my pain
That's why I need you
Like a flower
That needs the rain

I won't be the one
To pull away
Tell me you're the man
That's gunna stay
I know
That this gift can last
Say you'll never leave me
And I'll always be right here

(Chorus)

This picture perfect happiness
The answer to our prayers
I'm holding on with no regrets
Cause I'm so blessed
That you gave me

(This gift)
That you gave me this gift
I just wanna thank you
For giving me this gift
(This gift)
Everything I didn't have
(This gift)
I accept now take my hand
Tell me that you love me
This is how it should be
This gift
Is the greatest gift of all

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent... flying blind most of the time
Drama queen

Preening and untanglin'
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately she sings

Needy little baby
Open up your heart
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hidin' deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent
Flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be [yeah]
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight to the hope that she'll be free

Needy little baby
Open up your eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hidin' deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal

I'm talking to you angel
Angel
Deep inside of me
I'm talking to you angel
Angel
One day you'll be free

Angel [Angel]
Angel [Angel]
Deep inside of me [inside... inside]
Talking to you angel [Angel]
Angle [Angel]
You'll be free

Alright

this life can make me so confused but it's alright
living day by day I feel so used that ain't right
I just wanna run and hide
I don't have the time to cry it's alright (it's alright)

alright

many thoughts are running through my head, it's alright
wishing to be somewhere else but here, it's alright
I can't wait to see your face
I need a smile and your embrace, and I'm alright

alright

life can bring us through many changes
just don't give up
it's gonna be alright
people come and they go
it's just the way that it goes

sometime the rain it makes me sad and it's alright
some things in the world make me mad and it's alright
in the morning when I see the sun I know I'm not the only one
its alright

alright

wish I had some money to pay my bills
I can't even buy that dress on sale but it's alright
having money don't mean a thing
loving you is everything
I'm alright

(life can bring us through many changes
just don't give up
it's gonna be alright
people come and they go
that's just the way that it goes)

everything is everything

it's alright

Yo,I'm tripping right,

You got married?
No I mean,make any
It don't really make any sense
I mean,It's not like I,I didn't think you were
seeing other people or whatever,Imean
I was seeing other people but
You know what this is,
You know what it was,you tsch
I can't say I really understand though
You chose her cause she's sweet as pie
Take what you give,even your life
But baby,are happy without me?
She scrubs your back,washes your clothes
Gives you everything that ask for
But don't you ever want more?
Cause my love

Didn't you know this,
Or didn't you notice?
Mmmm,what we had don't need no words
Deeper than anything you ever heard
I ain't reaching baby,
I know I should be your lady
You say you're happy
You say you're great
But you know and I know you really ain't
You need to come be with me
That's the way it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

Cause ohh,
All I ever do is think about you baby
I hold you in my arms inside my dreams
And I know what I know and what I know is
That no matter where you go
You will always think of me

[Chorus]

In all my pain, in my distress
Brokenhearted, I try my best
I been battered and tossed by life's raging seas
But I still have my savior who truly loves me

Let's praise Your name glory to you
I will bless Your holy name

No matter what may come Your way
