Incipit
Contemporary Girl
Intro:
Contemporary Girl
Living in this world
Verse 1:
The world today
Has come a long way
From radio to TV
From fire to electricity
Airplanes and jets
Computers and the Internet
What an entry
Into the 21st century
This is the world
Of the contemporary girl
But modernization
Isn't for every situation
Like in love
What are we thinking of
Some women take control
Playing the dominant role
But he's a person
God gave him a mind
So stop trying
To make it up for him all the time
Chorus:
Contemporary Girl
Living in this world
Modern society
Gave you the right to be in control
But don't turn your back on love
God gave you a heart and soul
Verse 2:
Living in this world
Can be tough when you're a girl
But you think you've got it under control
And no man will take a hold
Of you or your heart
And that's the way
You wanted it from the start
You run your life
And that of your man
Everything is going according to plan
But on your list of things to remember
Love isn't on your daily agenda
No matter what your friends say
You shouldn't treat him that way
Do unto others
As you'd have done to you
You wouldn't like it
If he did the same to you
Repeat chorus
Chorus:
Contemporary Girl
Living in this world
In a modern society
That gave you the right to be in control
Don't turn your back on love
God gave you a heart and soul
Rap:
You put the con in contemporary
With the life that you're selling
And how long you've been trippin'
There's no telling
If you wanna be a feminist
Do it on your own
And you'll be like that movie
Home Alone
Why ya wanna trip
Trying to wear the pants in the relationship
I'd rather wear the skirt
You can have a family and still work
You treat him like the gum under your shoe
And then you try to get rid of him like the flu
When you're mad
You know your tempers never far
You make the guy break down like your car
He shakes in the dust
Like you're San Andreas
Then you bring out his faults
Like diamonds from a vault
Which ironically you want him to buy
And yet still you try
To give him more orders than a waiter
And it divides you like the equator
You're more domineering
Than power steering
But you must realize
Both of you can't drive
How can he not hear what you say
When your nickname is forte
You ever been in a checkout line
Trying to save time
And stand behind
A couple that's out of their minds
She picks a fight
And she knows she's not right
And he apologizes for something he didn't do
And you stare at the ceiling
Cause you don't have a clue
So embarrassed for the guy
You can't look him in the eye
All you can do is ask yourself why
Contemporary girl in the corporate world
You're kicking butt and taking names
And to you it's all a game
Designer clothed
Hard nosed
Battle-ax with a fax
The business brunch
The power lunch
Net and gross
Who makes the most
Spreadsheets and requisitions
Mergers and acquisitions
Real time and the bottom line
Corporate takeovers and leveraged buyouts
A private jet for you to fly out
Just having your fun
Ms. hard as nails
But cry when you break one
You only care about how much you earn
But when will you ever learn
In this world
You can't be the man
When you're a girl
What an extraordinary mask
But I've got just one question to ask
You say you know what's best
But how are you gonna rule the world with P.M.S.
Bridge:
Contemporary
Now you're so very sure
With success in your life
You think you don't need him anymore
I guess love isn't a fad
Being an old fashioned girl
Isn't so bad
You don't have to be sad
I know that's not how you want to be
So ladies, sing it with me
Contemporary girl
Living in this world

We are the future
Don’t tell us how to be
Incredible girl
We are the future
Love and unity

I feel so free
Life is good to me
I’m loving the days
I just got a raise
Met the man of my dreams
And he is what he seems
Things are happening for me
Oh the possibilities

Incredible girl
We are the future
Don’t tell us how to be
Incredible girl
We are the future

Tell them just let me be me
Chorus:

I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be me
Look, listen and see
God smiled on me
He made me an incredible girl
One of the best in the world
Chorus:
Incredible girl
We are the future
Don’t tell us how to be
Incredible girl
We are the future
Love and unity
Rap:
I’ll make Eminem black
Jordan shoot wack
Jeter miss
And Elton kiss, a girl
The best in the world
Make Pele forget to play
The Dodgers leave LA
Make Beckham go offside
Gordon forget his ride
We are the incredible girls
We are the best in the world
Bridge:
I’ll beat this world
At its own game
When all is said and done
You will know my name
I’ll beat this world
At its own game
When all is said and done
You will know my name
Chorus:
Incredible girl
We are the future
Don’t tell us how to be
Incredible girl
We are the future
Love and unity
Chorus:
Incredible girl
We are the future
Don’t tell us how to be
Incredible girl
We are the future
Love and unity
Incensed
Chorus:
Incensed
Hence the look on my face
You thought you’d put me in my place
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
Verse 1:
Why can’t we just be on the same level
But instead you always revel
In being bad
And it’s making me sad
You took for granted what we had
I wanted to find something good
And I thought that you would
Be the one
But now it’s done
Do you really call this fun
Chorus:
Incensed
Hence the look on my face
You thought you’d put me in my place
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
Verse 2:
Don’t act like I’m less than you
I stress that you need to
Understand who you’re talking to
Grow up and be a man
There are so many things
That you don’t understand
Chorus:
Incensed
Hence the look on my face
You thought you’d put me in my place
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
Verse 3:
I appreciate you
I do
We are the same
Me and you
We’ve come very far
In who we are
Women and men
Cause I remember when
It wasn’t so
Don’t act like you don’t know
Chorus:
Incensed
Hence the look on my face
You thought you’d put me in my place
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
I’m just as good as you
Whatever you can do
I can do it too
Time Boogie
See the stars in my eyes
Let it take you by surprise
See the stars in my eyes
Let it take you by surprise
Chorus:
Time boogie
Darlin’ dance with me
Time boogie
Set your heart free
Verse 1:
Do you feel the music
Then use it
To set your heart free
Time to boogie with me
Take a chance on you
Make your dreams come true
God gave me a life
And I'm gonna live it right
I’m gonna live it well
I don't care who can't tell
See the stars in my eyes
It’ll take you by surprise
Get in line
This is my time
Chorus:
Time boogie
Darlin’ dance with me
Time boogie
Set your heart free

A place in time

Time boogie
Set your heart free
Spoken:
Time boogie
A place in time
That’s yours
See the music with your eyes
Let it take you by surprise
And sweep you off your feet
Dance to the beat
Chorus:
Time boogie
Darlin’ dance with me
Time boogie
Set your heart free
I’m gonna live it
And live it well
I don’t care
Who can’t tell
See the stars in my eyes
Let it take you by surprise
See the stars in my eyes
Let it take you by surprise
Hollywood Stinks
What, you didn’t think I was gonna sing hooray for Hollywood did you
Chorus:
Known to bring many to the brink
And this is why Hollywood stinks
Verse 1:
So you wanna be a star
And drive a sports car
Eat in the finest places
Air kiss the plastic faces
Just how far will you go
To be the center of the show
To get there from anywhere
A dream and a ticket fare
That’s Hollywood for you
Chorus:
Known to bring many to the brink
And this is why Hollywood stinks
Verse 2:
So it’s Hollywood or bust
Off the proverbial bus
You are in search of fame
And a big name
She’s just a kid
But the things she did to be a star
Went too far
When the cameras went off
Her clothes came off
Maybe a 9 to 5 ain’t so bad
At least it’s an honest day’s pay
The right way
Without selling your soul
For an illusionary goal
This story is sad
Maybe a 9 to 5 ain’t bad
An honest day’s pay
Done the right way
Verse 3:
Hollywood is crazy
The stars are hazy
Surgically enhanced
Cosmetically chanced
lipo, type-o in the press
Who’s best least dressed
Who had what done
Do you really call this fun
PR, PDA’s and PA's
This is Hollywood’s crazy ways
Lights camera action
Front page retraction
Chorus:
Known to bring many to the brink
And this is why Hollywood stinks
Verse 4:
Celebrities cracking up on TV
Stars who can’t sing making CDs
Downloaded MP3s
From lip syncing CDs
Chorus:
Known to bring many to the brink
And this is why Hollywood stinks
Verse 5:
Tom Cruise on the news
Flipping out blowing his fuse
Paris Hilton putting the first two letters in hotel
Madonna stealing like people can’t tell
These cults have gone too far
All in the name of being a star
They join a cult and think they’re Jesus
Doing things they think will appease us
These people are crazy
They’ve lost heir minds
And need to be kicked
In their behinds
That’s Hollywood for you
Chorus:
Known to bring many to the brink
And this is why Hollywood stinks
What, you didn’t think I was gonna sing hooray for Hollywood, did you
Wireless (The Digital Age)
Verse 1:
Wired
And tired
The new frontier
Can you steer
Your way through time
Across the line
Of history
And mystery
Chorus:
Wired
And tired
Wireless
Tireless
The electric age (word electric is digital)
Takes the stage
God is in the details (soprano line)
Verse 2:
Digitize
Maximize
Technology
Cosmology
Take it higher
The messiah
Repeat Chorus Twice
Wired and tired
The computer age
Takes the stage
The digital age
Takes the stage
Interlude (WMIA 98.7 FM)
This is 98.7 FM WMIA in the M.I.A.
What would you like me to play?
I’m feeling alright
On a clear, beautiful Miami Night
Miami Night
Chorus:
Put on your dancing shoes
And forget your blues
Tonight, I’m feeling right
Dance with me
My baby
On a Miami Night
I’m feelin’ right
Verse 1:
We’ve been together so very long
And I thank God that we’re still going strong
We’re so committed and we’re so in love
The kind that only comes from above (hallelujah)
I’m a girl who loves to dance
And you are my one romance
I’m feeling right
So won’t you dance with me tonight
Chorus:
Put on your dancing shoes
And forget your blues
Tonight, I’m feeling right
Dance with me
My baby
On a Miami Night
I’m feelin’ right
Verse 2:
Love is in our reach
Let’s go to the beach
And dance under the stars
The moon isn’t so far
Let’s keep love alive
Everyday we’re alive
Repeat Chorus
Miami night
Miami night
Bachelor of Hearts
Intro:
He’s the bachelor of hearts
Don’t even start
Verse 1:
He's got a degree
in being a single man
and breaking hearts is his only plan
He's out everyday
Searching for his prey
Chasing anyone that passes his way
If you know like me
You will be
On your best behavior
Because he is a player
He can sense insecurity a mile away
Like a shark and its prey
When he zeros in
You’ll think a hero's in the room
Then he's gone real soon
He knows no love
Only lust
He knows no fidelity
Only mistrust
He’s always smiling and winking
Laughing and blinking
Girl what are you thinking
Chorus:
Bachelor of hearts
Don't even start
His pedigree
Is of a Labrador Retriever
He'll pick up any bird
Then leave her
He's got a degree in misogyny
That’s not a catch
There is a catch
Verse 2:
Stop going in the wrong direction
Every woman you meet
You add to your collection
You play with emotions
Like it's a notion
Broken hearts
Like sands to the ocean
You give good men a bad name
Playing this game
You have the potential to be a good man
I don't understand
Why do you feel the necessity to act this way
What a game you play
Repeat Chorus
Rap:
The bachelor of hearts
Always playing his part
Always at the party
Looking fool hardy
Always at the club
Looking for love
Be real for a change
Stop playing games
Do you even remember their names?
Or have you lost count
At the sheer amount
You'll flirt with anything in a skirt
It doesn’t matter who ends up getting hurt
Then he set his sights on me
Thinking I would fall for that easily
But you're out of your league
And I think you should know it
You're out of your league
And you just don’t know it
If you don't want to reap it
Then don't sow it
Repeat chorus
Mr. Right
Intro:
Cinderella looking for the right fella
Snow white looking for Mr. Right
Verse 1:
All my life
I've believed
There's someone out there
God has for me
And someone
God has me for
In a matter of time
He’ll be at my door
Our love would be true
A man for who
I'd fall deeply in love
What I've always dreamed of
Everything I want in a man
According to God's plan
Chorus:
Cinderella looking for the right fella
Snow white looking for Mr. Right
That only happens in the books
The real thing isn't as easy as it looks
He will be
The man for me
Mr. right
Come into my life
Verse 2:
I wonder what it would be like
If I met Mr. Right
If God grants me life
And I became his wife
Will I know when we meet
Will he sweep me off my feet
Not on a whim
Will I know it's him
Repeat chorus
Rap:
I'm talking to you
In what you're going through
You think you do
But you don't know who
You want a man with a plan
To take you by the hand
And be everything you've wanted in a man
You're not gonna meet Mr. Right
in the club down the street
So stop wasting your time being indiscreet
It doesn’t matter
If he's rich or poor
This is what I'm looking for
Money doesn’t matter as far as I see
Love is what matters to me
He could own the business
Or work on staff
I'm looking for someone that will make me laugh
Someone with good judgment
But how good could his judgment be
If he's dating me
(I'm kidding)
Bridge:
He's got to be
The one for me
Repeat chorus
You Wouldn’t Date A "Black Girl"
Chorus:
You’re famous now
You’ve made it
You know the game
And you’ve played it
But black people helped bring you into this world
So why don't I ever see you with a black girl
(And now for a pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop)
No, I don’t hate you
And no, I don’t want to date you
But it seems to me
And many in this world
That you just wouldn't date a black girl
Verse 1:
Let alone marry one
Carry one to the alter
But in your own private world
You're the rock of Gibraltar
But that rock is crumbling fast
Denying your past
Now I agree that love knows no color
And that we should all love each other
And you say that's true
But you're never with anyone that looks like you
Repeat chorus
Verse 2:
I don't have a color preference
Color is not my point of reference
But it is for you
And you know it too
If the one you love is black
And you are white
Do what's right
And marry them for life
It takes character to
See it through
The incentive to love you
For who you are
Not because you’re a star
Rap:
No, I'm not hating
And this song isn't about interracial dating
First of all let me clear the air
If it weren’t for interracial relationships I wouldn’t be here
My grandparents weren’t the same color
But with them they really loved each other
As with all the interracial relationships of my family and friends
Love is always the message they send
And that’s real
But with you that’s not the deal
This song is about famous black men like you
And all the discriminatory things you do
Once you become known
You feel you’ve outgrown
Your own race
And are too much for this place
I'd date a person regardless of their color
But you date a person because of their color
One after another
They’re never black
So please tell me why is that
I mean, not even a token Negro
And what about me
I'm as cute as can be
Are you trying to tell me you don't like me
(I'm not vain, really)
It’s because I'm black
And ironically you're black too
But somehow that just doesn’t matter to you
And that's sad
Do you really think being black is that bad
You distance yourself from the black community
Under the guise of racial unity
You say you love everyone
But you don't
You don't love your own race
Or yourself
You actually think you’re something else
Hey, you know what they say
Walks like a duck...
Chorus:
Black people helped bring you into this world
So why don't I ever see you with a black girl
(Now for a pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop)
No I don’t hate you
And no I don’t want to date you
But it seems to me
And many in this world
That you just wouldn't date a black girl
Black girl
You Talk Like A "White Girl"
Chorus:
You talk
Like a white girl
Do you think
That you’re white, girl
A line some drew in the sand
Some will call you an Uncle Tom
If you support Uncle Sam
Verse 1:
Ebonix or Hooked On Phonics
Take your pick
But they’ll call you a city slicker or a hick
Yea, I know I'm black
But must every other word be homey or wack
There was a time when slaves couldn't read or write
But now you're sitting here telling me it's alright
To talk like a clown
To prove your down
Speaking that gibberish to anyone around
Some will see it as buffoonery
An inarticulate form of cartoonery
Your intellect will be hidden
Beneath your words
And when you speak
You will not be heard
Fraternized or patronized
Until the day you realize
Slang is fine
But not all the time
Repeat chorus
Verse 2:
Hey, what can I say
I never felt comfortable speaking that way
You brag that you're from the hood
And how living there is supposed to be so good
But you never hear anyone say
I'm saving up to move to the ghetto one day
Most people in the ghetto want something better out of life
Rather than to be saddled with crime and strife
You keep listening to rappers
Telling you what black is
When they've made millions and left the ghetto off the biz
They're living in the suburbs that's mostly white
But they're sitting there telling you "be real" and "dynamite"
That's like telling an unmarried woman about your wedding day
Or telling somebody on a diet about a buffet
You ought to think about that
Being black is not about the clothes on your back
Its not about every other word being homey or wack
Or walking with a swagger
Or getting drunk until you stagger
You're born black
It's not something you acquire
It's not about your words or your attire
Repeat chorus twice
The N Word
Chorus:
Racist faces
One who cases
A person’s color
But calls you brother
Or bro or however it goes
Do you even know
Or are you just going with the flow
Then you use the N Word
Where it can’t be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You’re not a friend to me
Verse 1:
The kids are listening
Watching your example
And the hate you spew
Is more than ample
To create a racist
Look at their faces
Looking for clues
Trying to be like you
God made us all the same
So your excuses are just a game
To hide your baseless hate
But you ought to have more faith
In the One above
And His love
Chorus:
Racist faces
One who cases
A person’s color
But calls you brother
Or bro
Or however it goes
Do you even know
Or are you just going with the flow
Then you use the N Word
Where it can’t be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You’re not a friend to me
Rap:
His name doesn’t start with an N
It’s starts with an A
And don’t think I don’t know the things that you say
I see through you
Like X ray vision
If you want to be a racist
That’s your decision
I don’t believe in Achilles
But you’re a heel
Because you don’t know what it’s like to be real
You think you’re better than me
When I’m smarter than you
And not because I’m black
But because you lack
Common sense and are on both sides of the fence
If you hate black people so much
Then why do you tan?
And why are you that black athlete’s #1 fan?
Grinning and smiling right in his face
When you know you use the N Word inside your place
Just imagine if he heard
You use the N Word
In the privacy of your home
When you feel you’re all alone
Or at least you think you are
But God is where you are
Out of respect for the men and women who died
And the ones who struggled and tried
To create a better world
For every boy and girl
You shouldn’t use that word
It should not be heard
You disrespect their blood
With your speech
When you go on to tell and teach
Your kids that it’s okay
To be the same way
But it’s not
And just in case you forgot
Martin Luther King
Let freedom ring
Lincoln freed the slaves
Now you’re spitting on their graves
With a slur that you confer
To black people
Who in God’s Eyes are your equals
I know everyone doesn’t think this way
And it’s only some who say…
The N word
Where it can’t be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You’re not a friend to me
You’re not a friend to me
Metronome
Chorus:
Metronome
Music and rhythm all it’s own
Sound and time
Music and rhyme
Sent from heaven
It’s so divine
Verse 1:
Space and time
Music and rhyme
Tic and tock
The hands of the clock
Chorus:
Metronome
Music and rhythm all its own
Sound and time
Music and rhyme
Sent from heaven
It’s so divine
Verse 2:
In the beginning
God created Heaven and Earth
He made the stars in the sky
And the birds that fly
In the twinkling of an eye
He will appear in the sky
So dry your eyes
There’s no need to surmise
Space, time, music, rhyme
Repeat chorus
Ooo metronome
Ooo metronome
All its own
Sound and time
Music and rhyme
Sent from heaven
It’s so divine
Human metronome
Interlude
Sometimes life doesn’t work out the way we planned
The moments we don’t understand
The design
At that time
The dreams that extend beyond reality
A struggle with duality
But today
Everything will be ok
Everything Is Gonna Be OK
Chorus:
Today, everything is gonna be okay
God will help you find your way
I know it will work out fine
If you just give it time
Verse 1:
Sometimes life doesn’t work out the way we planned
The moments we don’t understand
The design
At that time
The dreams that extend beyond reality
A struggle with duality
But it will be okay
Chorus:
Today, everything is gonna be okay
God will help you find your way
I know it will work out fine
If you just give it time
Verse 2:
Life changes so much, so fast
We cherish the moments that last
But you can't keep living in the past
For long singing the same song
Get up
And write a new melody
Filled with all the rhapsody
In your heart
And let it start
You on your way
Chorus:
Today, everything is gonna be okay
God will help you find your way
I know things will work out fine
If you just give it time
Bridge:
When you look around you see
Heartache and misery
But it doesn’t have to be
This way
I pray
God will help you find your way
I know things will work out fine
If you just give it time
Just give it time
Gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
Just give it time
The Greatest Of These Is Love
(1 Corinthians 13:13)
Chorus:
The greatest of these is love
And I am dreaming of
A love to stand the test of time
And always be mine
Verse 1:
This life has made me cry
There were moments I thought I could die
Let go and give up the race
How did life take me to this place
I move on like I always do
This is a road I am used to
And sometimes things went wrong
The road behind me is long
In that I was never gonna look back
This is a life we cannot take back
Chorus:
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I am dreaming of
A love to stand the test of time
And always be mine
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I have loved you so
More than you could ever know
The greatest of these is love
Verse 2:
(Let me tell you a story)
From the start
Life has broken my heart
Taken me places who knew I’d be
How did this happen to me
The tears that time took away
And all of the years I went astray
Where did my life go
It’s moments like these that I just don’t know
Chorus:
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I am dreaming of
A love to stand the test of time
And always be mine
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I have loved you so
More than you could ever know
The greatest of these is love
Verse 3:
(Let me tell you the second part of the story)
I decided to make up for lost time
I charted a plan that was mine
I set sail and saw the world
Through the eyes of a girl
I found a love that broke my heart
And tried my best not to fall apart
I thought if I left the memories behind
In time things would be fine
I thought it would all be okay
But now I’m sorry to say
The One I left behind
Was always on my mind
The One that meant anything to me
It was always You and me
Chorus:
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I am dreaming of
A love to stand the test of time
And always be mine
Ooh uh oh
The greatest of these is love
And I have loved you so
More than you could ever know
The greatest of these is love
The Peace Of My Heart
Chorus:
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
Verse 1:
This world will promise the moon
And not deliver a star
Each and every one of you
Know who you are
Don’t cling to a dream
Of a life without care
That’s not who we are
That’s not why we're here
Chorus:
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
Verse 2:
We are put on this earth
From the days of our birth
To give
And be courageous in this life we live
Born boy or girl
To make a better world
Than what is
We must take the time to teach our kids
With each generation
The time and preservation
Of the dream
And never forget to remember what it means
Chorus:
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
Spoken:
Is this what we’ve come to
Fighting over everything
Can’t agree on anything
Other than people should die
Please tell me why
Is this the only way
To settle our differences today
Missiles pointed at each other’s lands
The blood of the innocent falls to the sands
We all have a place on this Earth we share
God gave us all the right to be here
Chorus:
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
The peace of my heart
Is always apart of you
In all that you do
I love you
Love Of My Life
Verse 1:
I asked you the way to your heart
And you told me I was always there
It's nice to know you care
It brought tears to my eyes
When I realized
How much You love me
I've never truly loved someone before
Until You I was never sure
It was love
You understand me in a way
Not many people do
I love you
You saw through the disguise
To the tears in my eyes
That I could not cry
And didn’t want to try
Chorus:
So when anyone asks me
Who the Love of my life is
I tell them You
When I met you I knew
I'd love for the rest of my life
You are the love of my life
Verse 2:
What can I say
About the love that changed my life
Other than I love you
I've never met anyone like you
That sees life the way you do
The love you’ve given me
For eternity
Saved me
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
I don’t deserve such a love
But I thank God above
That he sent you
The love of my, the love of my life
The love of my, the love of my life
Love Lost
Verse 1:
Was it love
Or did they drop the ball
Are you equipped to make that call
And how many loves left standing tall
Tell it to a broken heart
That’s falling apart
In life we try to do what’s right
When love comes in your life
Like a thief in the night
And can so easily leave the same
But was it in vain
Two people made for each other
In a love that’s greater than that of a brother
God brings two people together
In a love that will last until forever
But if they choose to let go
How can love grow
And if they choose to let go
Then where can love go
Chorus:
They hurt love
With their deeds
And in the process
Sow the seeds
Of love’s demise
Then comes the surprise
Love is not a labor
Love is not a duty
When you fail to see its blessing
You miss its beauty
Love lost
Verse 2:
How do you reconcile
Losing love all the while
Down to the letter
You pray that things get better
You think of them with bittersweet tears
And silent stares
Cause through the years
Your heart doesn’t clear the memory
And you don’t think of them as an enemy
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Love
A beggar’s purse
A blessing or a curse
Cause how it ends
Will all depend on you two
To those who cry for a love lost
And take the time to ponder its cost
To you I say
Things will be better one day
Love lost
Spoken:
I have come to this conclusion
Without illusion
That I have no palpable answer to this question
Only a hard learned lesson
Love doesn’t fail
People fail
A beggar’s fare
Sacrifice a love
For a few that don’t compare
And love will leave you standing there
So here’s your second chance
To make things right
And this time I hope you see the light
I will remember your sins no more
Only what this love is for
Signed love found
Interlude
One of my friends
Called me today
Because he had something to say
We were only ever friends
But what he said stunned me when
He told me what he was going through
And that he didn't know what to do
And this is what he said to me
Why Did This Happen To Me
Verse 1:
Oh my, what have I done
My life has just begun
It’s so easy to make a mistake
And my heart feels like it’s gonna break
I’ve cried so many tears
Had to face all of my fears
But I'm not afraid anymore
Of this I’m sure
But this is my reality
And it's hard being me
Chorus:
This could have happened to anyone
Why did this happen to me
This could have happened to anyone
Why did this happen to me
But I’m gonna make it you'll see
Verse 2:
Oh God, please forgive my sins
And this mess that I’m in
I don’t know how I got here
And it doesn’t even seem fair
But this is my reality
And it’s hard being me
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Sometimes I wanna scream
Sometimes I wanna cry
And then there are the times
I just don’t understand why
Sometimes I wanna scream
Sometimes I wanna dream
That this never happened at all
I'm so tired of feeling sorry for myself
Please Lord hear me
I'm crying out for help
I'm so tired of crying in the dark
I'm not asking why
That's why there's no question mark
And the end of...why did this happen to me
Spoken:
They told you they're okay
And that you don’t have to worry about them that way
That’s the song a lot of people sing
They told 20 other people the same thing
Before they slept with them
Crept with them
Now you’ve got their number
Now you are a number
Another case on the face of this earth
It’s not about games
They’re not just numbers
They’re people with names
Somebody’s brother, sister, child
Not just some file or statistic
This is realistic
You’ve got a void in your life – Voids
A loophole to your soul
A false sense of security
Compromising your purity
You need to know why
Safe sex is an illusion, a lie
When they say safe sex
They really mean safer sex
Safe sex is really married sex
Between faithful people
The church and the steeple
We’re musicians not models
We're supposed to be selling music, not sex
So tell me what’s next
You say you can’t be blamed for society’s wrongs
But your music and your movies turn people on
It promotes certain behaviors and attitudes
Symbols of ingratitude
The diamonds in your chain
Can't stop it from flowing through your veins
Up there singing and rapping and clapping your hands
While someone’s life returns to the sands
Oh my
Oh why
Costal City
(sound of ocean and jet)
A sunset that makes you think of God
A sunset you can’t forget
None Greater
Master and Creator
Chorus:
Costal city
So pretty
It runs through my mind
A place in time
Sunrise
Brings the surprise
Of a new day
And a new way
The sun on my face
Oh I love this place
Chorus:
Costal city
So pretty
It runs through my mind
A place in time
Sunset
a Lear jet
in the distant sky
the waves rolling by the shore
I couldn't ask for more
The trees sway
breeze off the bay
the neon lights
All the sights
line the city
it‘s so pretty
Chorus:
Costal city
So pretty
It runs through my mind
A place in time
Bridge:
waves come in
akin to life
sunrise to night
Love Is True
Chorus:
Love is True
And I love you
Forever
We will be together
Verse 1:
I'm so glad
G-d sent you
With your effervescent personality
Chorus:
Love is True
And I love you
Forever
We will be together
Verse 2:
God's love for eternity
That's how heaven will be
A place prepared for you and me
What a celebration it will be
God's love for eternity
Chorus:
Love is True
And I love you
Forever
We will be together
Chorus:
Love is True
And I love you
Forever
We will be together
Heart Versus Mind
Verse 1:
I was in love
I could feel it
And my heart tried to reveal it
But my mind said no
I told you so
When you asked me out
I had my doubts
Uncertainty
You were right for me
Were we meant to be
Were you right for me
Chorus:
The heart versus mind
It happens all the time
The battle of two wills
Call it what you will
My heart said go
But mind said no
Verse 2:
With looks so lush
You made me blush
With eyes so dreamy
You should have seen me
My heart said go
But my mind said no
Repeat chorus
Verse 3:
I can say with certainty
That you’re not right for me
But still I love you so
But I have to say no
And wait
Hold on to my faith
That God will give me a love
Sent from above
Repeat chorus
Keep The Faith
Verse 1:
Life can make you cry
Through the struggles
You wonder why
Why do things have to be so tough
In the moments you’ve had enough
Why did I have to go through this
There’s got to be more to life than this
Many times you ask yourself why
Especially the days you want to cry
Like today
It seems to be center the of your existence
The questions that hound you with persistence
But a life without faith
Is one filled with fear
Being that way won’t get you anywhere
Chorus:
Don't give into hate
You gotta keep the faith
You can’t let go
Cause you never know
You can’t stop living
Cause there is life in giving
Through your pain
Someone will love again
Keep the faith
Verse 2:
God is there for you
And He cares for you
Open your eyes
Then you’ll realize
You don’t need to be afraid
Through it all he stayed
God is the One who brought you through
And He loves you
Don't give into hate
You gotta keep the faith
You can’t let go
Cause you never know
You can’t stop living
Cause there is life in giving
Through your pain
Someone will love again
Keep the faith
Bridge:
One day things will be better
It won't be this way forever
Forever
Forever
Don't give into hate
You gotta keep the faith
You can’t let go
Cause you never know
You can’t stop living
Cause there is life in giving
Through your pain
Someone will love again
Keep the faith
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
It is grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
When we’ve been there 10,000 years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing His praise
Than when we'd first begun
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
The Lord is my Shepherd
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies
Thou annointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever

Movement 1:
The scripture holds true
Father forgive them
For they know not what they do
Among men
He may have seemed the least
Why didn't they hold their peace
The wisdom in this
Our eyes could not see
Why couldn't they just let Him be
We didn't understand
This great and holy man
The irony is
The earth His Father made knows who He is
Knows who He is
Movement 2:
When he died
Was crucified
The sun hid its face
Withdrew its face
In disgrace
Refusing to shine
Because the Divine was crucified
Movement 3:
The irony is
The earth, which is His
Was made by God
And it is odd
That the world
Made of people
Sought to destroy Him
As their equal
But He is not
For He is God

Movement 4:
The earth knew
And could not keep silent
The weather became violent
And manifested it's grief
The world knew
Yet we held our peace
And let this innocent Man's life cease
When we should have been silent
We called for his death
When we should have wept
Barabas laughs at our gaffe
Judas sends his thanks
For putting Him on the planks
Movement 5:
What was His crime
We have yet to see
Because He was not guilty
Why couldn’t they just let Him be
Why couldn’t they just let Him be
But the Father was appeased
This is My Son in whom I'm well pleased
We should have treasured Him when He was here
There’s no need to fear
In our hearts
He is always near

Thieves
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
Verse 1:
I always knew
There was evil in this world
Ever since I was a little girl
I knew there were
Challenges ahead of me
But it was never
Them instead of me
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
Verse 2:
A woman and her dreams
Aren’t soon parted
I will finish
what I have started
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
Verse 3:
What transpired
Would make the noblest aspire
To see that this
Never happens again
And this is it
The time when
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
Thieves (Rap Remix)
Spoken:
You’re supposed to be role models
And you’re stealing from people
What kind of example are you
God is watching everything that you do
Rap:
You’re about as British as lasagna
You wish you looked like Tanya
Which is why you had that song made
Putting that woman's life on parade
You can’t sing and that’s a fact
You sound like Peggy Lee
If she were on crack
And she looks younger than you do
The Botox you've been using just ain’t working for you
Your claim to fame was humping the floor
Now you’re 50 and break dancing by the club door
Taking Geritol and reading Tiger Beat
Hot flashes not from the heat
Fought the horse
And the horse won
One kick and the fight was done
Madonna Chit-ccone
Or Madonna Corleone
Because all you do is steal
Taking people’s stuff
And making dirty deals
You know she’s crazy
She stole that baby
Nasty and nosy
Butch like Rosie
And you know she’s your girl
Guy Ritchie’s just your beard to the world
Stalking Britney and following Christina
Doing everything trying to be Angelina
Did a deal with the devil
Cause you can’t sing like Whitney
You’re pass your sell by date
Now he’s on to Britney
Spears scares the little kids
Coming home drunk
And trying to take a dunk
On the front lawn
While K-Fed yawns
Counting her dough
You reap what you sow
Middle of the day
Baby on the highway
Swerving in lanes
While his momma plays games
In the back seat
Trying to find her brains
You know Britney felt
He was the seatbelt
And the chauffer of the car
Going to the bar
Getting drunk
Because you got punked
By K-Fed
Now he’s all in your head
You’re a flake
Just like Timberlake
You’ve both ripped off Janet
And are on another planet
You her music
He her clothes
But that’s how
The story goes
She didn’t want her "Hanes her way"
So she left her underwear at the house that day
…And the day after
To nothing but absolute disses and laughter
You’re showing your bits to the world
Oops I guess you’re not that innocent girl
Britney is here
Happy New Ye… (sound of falling objects hitting the floor)
Clean up on aisle three
Somebody call security
Britney fell flat on her face
In the club trying to freebase
The coke in rum and coke
Ain’t short for cocaine
Because that stuff
Will fry your brain
Britney took a dive
Trying to stay alive
Up partying from 9 to 5
They couldn’t use a gurney
So they dragged her out like Bernie
Then called her son on the phone
Told the little guy “come drive mommy home”
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
Back home where Paris is waiting
Smoking hashish and actively debating
What to do next
Go out, get drunk or stay home and have sex
Ran your family’s name through the gutter
Made an album that’s nothing but clutter
Yea, it’s a real humdinger
But your chances of being a singer
Are skinnier than Nicole Richie
Spoiled, nasty and totally witchy
Fake tan that didn’t come from the sun
Left eye trying to look at the right one
Paris you lied
Stars Aren’t Blind
They’re cross-eyed
Paris and Nicole need to stop drinking that Port
Pothead troublemakers always in court
Hillary Fluff’s gonna bite you with her teeth
Dizzy McGuire is trying to beat
Nicole down for stealing her man
Everyone's sleeping around in Hollywoodland
Lindsay Lohan is like Aquaman
Swimming in liquor
So the booze had to kick her
Beyonce has no sense
Overrated and totally dense
Style stealer
Booty revealer
She’s the one dating that old drug dealer
Gwen Stefani
More like Glen Stefmani
Ripped off everything from Gucci to Armani
But of course you were trying to flaunt
Said you can get any man you want
Yea, probably a tranny
37 but you look like a granny
All that make up totally caked up
The Botox broke as you spoke
Your yodeling on that song was such a joke
Yodel lay he….boo
And Julie Andrews looks younger than you too
No doubt you need to shut your mouth
Ripping off my culture
You blackface little vulture
Chorus:
Den of thieves
An affront to anyone who believes
In being real
And a fair deal
The things you do
Are coming back to you
