1.Test Don't Test
2.Deeper
You gave your all
Expected nothing in return but a promise that you would be the
sole one
I told you then
I saw it all
But could just stand by to watch you fall deeper
Your skies caved in
Tears escaped
Then the anger came with a strength
Another point of view
Doesn't count for much
When the objective one
Isn't missing his touch
I stood by you then
I'll stand by you now
But don't want to just watch you fall deeper
Deeper
Started to accept,
Just to carry on,
But excluding him meant a whole piece of life gone
Couldn't let it go
Barriers came down
Now you're there again like the scar forgot the pain
I told you then
I said it all
But now again i watch you fall deeper
Deeper
3.What Do You Want
Know you as a jet black angel
Watching over me like cctv
24／7 you see everything
365 and i'm no mastermind
Dealt with mood swings mad behavior
Controlling me like you own me
Feels like it's your world i just live here
365 and it's bad comprimise
I want to know x2
Am i what you want or am i what you need x2
Patience wearing sent to test me
Pressure building mercury rising
Feels close to overload, feels close to overload
365
I want to know x2
I wanna know
Am i what you want or am i what you need x4
What do you want x2
Am i what you want x2
4.It's Not Enough
Opens her eyes,
Doubting she slept at all,
Waiting for him,
Wanting the call
It's getting late,
And she's tired of it
Where could he be？
Who could he be with？
She doesn't trust,
But she still needs him
One thing is known - that she can't let go
It's not enough to think that you're in love
It's not enough to need
It's not enough just to be
You have to show that it's real
He feels the same - still thinks nothing's changed
She'll always be there,
No one is to blame
She's the only one, but something's wrong here
Disturbing silence starting to creep in
It's passing by them,
The friendship's wearing thin
Long as love survives it's alright in his eyes
But it's not enough to think that you're in love
It's not enough to need
It's not enough just to be
You have to know what it means
They argue over waht never bothered them before
Don't realize they're doing it anymore
Immune to pain,
Just let it wash away
It's not enough

You can crush me
Control me
Harass me

Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
You can crush me
Control me

Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
'cause you and i both know
There's someone that we all know
All been punched by the wounds won't show
Be thankful that i'm taking time
To warn you about a path that could be detrimental
To your heart, pride, love and pain
Deep scars that will never heal again
He'll consume you
You don't want to play
I assure you
He'll put you under his spell
(that's the bad guy)
If the plan goes well
(that's the bad guy)
Hypnotize
Playing jedi tricks on your mind

Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
'cause you and i both know
Now cut the sinnin' kin when he's around
Don't be no slave to the scoundrel
Use you and expose your inner fears
And then he's done here
Dressed in silk
But tangled in his web
Sucked dry
Don't say your surprised.
He'll consume you
You don't want to play
I assure you
He'll put you under his spell
(that's the bad guy)
Assume his plan will go well
(say good night to the bad guy)
Hypnotize
Playing jedi tricks on your mind.
You can crush me

7.Just An Avenue
There were times i could not see past all the decoys laid,
Placed in front of me
Just the frequency that was bothering me,
When all the time should have realized
Just your avenue for another escape
Just your avenue for another escape
I always felt that things would change (change for the best)
And for once i'd see some sort of progression
You always say you're down,
But when push comes to shove you always have excuses
Just your avenue for another escape
Just your avenue for another escape
You really need to think again
You know you have to make amends
Don't look me in the eye,
Assume it's alright
I won't be here for long
Only one reason for you not to change
Just your avenue for another escape
Just your avenue for another escape
And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to
look at me
And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to
look at me
And when you've had enough, don't bother even turning back to
look at me
Just your avenue for another escape
Just your avenue for another escape

9.Now You Know
Standing at the crossroads,
Wondering which way to go
As i look around i see i'm not alone on this side of mine,
'cause this time,
I know i'm doing nothing wrong
Should i bust a basic left？
Or go on straight ahead,
And let that roman way decide fate through this path of mine,
'cause this time there seems to be no other way
Now you know
Now you know
That what you have is all that i can give
Standing at the crossroads, wondering which way to go
Now i know,
Know what to do in this heart of mine,
'cause in this life,
Do you get a second chance？
It seems so obvious to me
So why can't you see？
It's up to you
I know what i need to do
'cause this time there really is no turning back
Now you know, now you know
That what you have is all that i can give

12.The Quest
I am
I am searching
I am searching for faith, beauty and hip-hop
I am searching for all those who died between hip hop and heaven
And all souls set adrift and free from bedlam
With headstrong lyrics that rise like smoke from silver incense
burners
I wonder who stole the thunder with the rasping edge
And who banged for baptisms with butterflies, serpentine roads
and sunsets broken by cicadas
Have we really lost our century in an hour？
Are we devoured by blind faith in the powers that be？
Are these words as tense as drawn bow strings？
Shall we rebuild the tears like sap from rubber trees？
Answer me!
Answer me you t.s. elliots in goose down jackets with your felt
tip urban hieroglyphs, spliff smoke, and spray paint
Answer me you soliloquists with clenched fists 'round the mike
Answer me you angels in adidas
Tell me
Do m.c.'s still howl rhymes into the purple black of midnight？
Do they still fight to make arrangements with deities courting
them with a jangle of gold and silver bangles on their wrist？
I need yearning voices of mangled passion
I need rehearsed create those style of faith and fashion
I'm searching for hip-hop beats, stomping feet to implore the ？
？ ringing across the seagulls to muffle the sun
I'm searching for perfumed cherry blossoms and ？
You see there will be no toast to the future in the banquet
table of ？
No golden petals weaving a carpet of light
No hint of arrogance on puckered lips
No wind-swept islands and dreams of sun-lit silence
No riot of flowers and beauty magnified through outmost
attention
And no free-style incantations to save the souls of man
I'm peeling off your straitjacket so you feel the sun my friend
I want wings, a feather, and booms so we can fly like birds to
better lands
I'm wondering
I'm wondering how temples are now smokestacks
I'm up all night in silvery moonlight with palms of ？？
Who stole my afro-pick？
Who licked my fingertips to sooth scratches from the vinyl
groove？
Has anybody seen faith, beauty and hip hop？
I have to find faith, beauty and
Hip hop
13.Look At Yourself
You're a big fish in a small pond
Everyone knows your name, so you claim
Out for fortune and for the fame,
Though you play your life like it's just a game
I'd rather be fabulous than famous
Live my life steady than nervous
Always looking over my shoulder
Never knowing what's coming round the corner
Look at yourself
Look at yourself
You're the flyest in the neighbourhood,
But i wonder if we'd all be like you if we could
The flashest cars,
The sovereign rings,
Champagne worlds filled with material things
Peddling plastic dreams
A way of life far removed from reality
But nothing lasts for long,
And you can't take it with you when you're gone
Look at yourself
Look at yourself
I'd rather be fabulous than famous
Live my life steady than nervous
Always looking over my shoulder
Never knowing what's coming round the corner
Look at yourself
Look at yourself
14.Security
Reality has checked my me
Time is expecting what i've been rejecting for so long
My body is calling, energy level is falling,
And i've found i'm not as strong as i used to be
Is it all about security？
I need to provide to stay alive,
Build a future,build a home
10 years from now thime will run out
Just want to slow bad time down
But 10 years ago felt like yesterday,
Now a family seems so far away want to fit more in
But don't get me wrong - responsibility isn't a bad thing
Am i judging men by how they'd father my children,
Rather than for who they are
The only thing i'd imagine hasn't really worked out the way i
thought,
And the only thing my life has brought is uncertainty
Is it all about security？
Thought one day i'd wake to be a woman
Thought one day i'd wake to be a woman
Thought one day i'd just wake to be a woman
Is it all about security？
Security
