Control of ourselves and such peueurs

My tease couldn't paint a better picture
Of a holy tipper, who praises for days
I know i make good love to you
That's what i heard you say
Don't blame it on the paintbrush
You should blame it on the campus
Cuz these small time minds don't really understand us
Ooh, baby, yeah
Repeat 1
They said i broke the laws of motion
The way you made an image of me
But i got all seven seas open
Your third eye couldn't even see
But could you make a groan
So i could leave your first body alone
Girl, you got me in a zone
I said i'm cryin' out for more, oh

Cuz i could get a little crazy
It's almost scandalous
Baby, can never wanna leave me

3.Drama
Yo, i know it's you
I had to run out for a minute to take care a few things
I ain't gon' be long
But if you get to the crib there before i get back
You know what to do, the crib is yours
So, um, just cool out, i'll be there in a few
Got a suprise for you, too, it's real sweet
See you soon, i miss you, i love you
I'm out...
Well, here i go in my land, 'bout to face rockin' on my styles
Got the phone in my hand, my baby hit me two times
Gotta hit her back, she said she's flyin' in tonight
See, my baby's been gone for so long
She's back in town, it's time we get it on
She told me she would meet me at my spot about eight
That gives me two whole hours to get my shit straight, yeah
I hit my case about six, it's almost time to see her
Almost time to get my fix
I just can't wait to see her pretty face
She's not like all these others on the paper chase
She's the kind of girl that you wanna stay true to
There's nothing that this girl wouldn't do for you, no
I think i hear her in my driveway, opened up the door
And this is what she had to say
I found someone to
Do what you use to (no baby)
Boy, you thought you were deceiving me (no way)
With your infidelity
(no, no, no, no, no, baby)
I found someone (what？)
Who really deserves me
(i can't believe you'd do this to me baby)
And he's all i need
I'm makin' my move (no)
I found someone new (no)
Ain't got no more love for you, ooo (no way)
How could you go and do this to me, baby？
Since you hit town you had me runnin' 'round actin' crazy
And had i known you'd treat me this way
We'd have to swing this drama-sode another day, baby
This was your night, ringers off, beepers off
My shit was tight, you blew it baby, word is bond
And after all i've done for you
You messed around and blew the best thing
That ever happened to you, baby
Now don't go and put this all on me
Since i left town, you've been tryin' to run down
On every girl you see
I can't believe you'd do this to me, ooo, baby
I know about your friend with the red benz (say what？)
Now why you wanna go and a play a game you can't win？
You didn't know she was my best friend (damn)
And now we all up in your pockets
For your benjamins, benjamins, what
I found someone to (no, no)
Do what you use to (can't do this to me baby)
Boy, you thought you were deceiving me (no, no)
With your infidelity (oh baby)
I found someone
Who really deserves me
(i can't believe you'd do this to me baby)
And he's all i need
I'm makin' my move
I found someone new
Ain't got no more love for you, ooo
(i just don't know what to do baby)
I found someone to
Do what you use to (oh)
Boy, you thought you were deceiving me
(i can't believe you played me baby)
With your infidelity
(whoa baby)
I found someone
Who really deserves me
(i can't believe you'd do it baby, oh)
And he's all i need
I'm makin' my move (no)
I found someone new (no)
Ain't got no more love for you, ooo

4.Finally
Hezekiah]
You know you and i've been through many hardships in life
They say people who believe, hardship has made us doubt
The very god of gods
But the apostle paul said in his scripture
We are troubled on every side, yet not in distressed
We are perplexed but not in dispair
Persecuted but not forsaken
Cast down but we are never distroyed
And the conclusion of the whole matter is that
Finally the storm is over
It's time for us to reap what we have sewn
No doubt my brothers and sisters
God has given us a miracle, finally
Blackstreet
Finally we'll make it through the storm and the rain
It's time to give and praise and bless the lord
If you believe in miracles, just you wait and see
Cuz finally we'll make it through it all
1 - bless the lord
Bless the lord
Cuz finally we'll make it through it all
Bless the lord
Bless the lord
Cuz finally we'll make it through the storm
We've had our ups and downs
Sometimes there no way out, i know he's there
To lead me and guide me every step of the way, yeah
Your grace, my joy, constant friend indeed
Everything that i do, i owe it all to you
I bless your name
Repeat 1
To every believer, all things work together for the good
To him that love to lord
It's time for us to speak to those things
That are not as though they were
So i command every household to be blessed
I command every marriage to work out
I command every broken heart to be heal
I command prosperity upon my life
It's my time, it's my time, finally, finally
The miracle is here
C'mon blackstreet, c'mon fellowship
Let's bless the lord
Repeat 1 with ad lib until fade
And because god is the greatest power
We shall not be defeated

6.Hustler's Prayer
1 - my soul is so dirty
I've been hustlin' everyday
Now i know that i should pray
But i wonder if he hear what i'd say
I know my momma didn't raise me this way
But i gotta feed my family
If i could just make it through one more day
I could live the right way
Lord, you know it's been 12-15 years i've been in the game
The way i live this life, forgive me, i know it's a shame
But who'd a thought i'd make it this far
From all the brothers and others that i've lost
I know i'm fortunate not to be one of those souls you choose
And i'm sorry for the ones i sent
Down here is to live or die, what was i suppose to do？
You know i wasn't quite ready
For this soul of mine to come before you
Repeat 1
I know i may not have been right but i've been fair
I guess that's why you saw it to keep me here
You must have somethin' better for me
Just give me a sign lord, please show me
Just wanna thank you for the ones you've placed
I pray you watched over them, cuz you watched over me
Until you clean us up lord, like we should be
I know you will eventually
Repeat 1
Please watch over my babies and they mommas, too
Cuz they don't know what they daddy do
But this one thing, i promise you
I won't let my seeds do the same thing, too
Lord, bless my momma, you know how much she means to me
Despite the way i live, i know she still loves me
She's up in church, cryin' and prayin' for me
And i'mma try to see her there on sunday, i said maybe
Repeat 1
7.I'm Sorry
I'm sorry, i would do anything for you
Will you forgive me？
Just don't cry, don't cry, listen
Oh yeah, just wanted to talk to you
I'm sorry
Just when you think you're strong enough
Temptation raises it's head
Cuz i kept on thinkin'
That i got a good woman back home
But i didn't regret it 'til it was over
(what should i do？)
I shoulda never told
(you were untrue)
How could i let it show？
1 - that girl put a spell on me
I couldn't stop thinking about it
But i've got my lady
That i can't live without
2 - if you look in my eyes, it says i'm sorry
I didn't mean to hurt or ever make you cry
I know i've got a good thing, girl
So don't you worry
I'll go outta my way to keep you satisfied
We've got a future, gotta move along
I know it's easier said than done
But don't let this one mistake
Put a break on what we've made
Please forgive me, i'm so sorry, oh
Even though i forgive you
It won't be the same
All those sleepless nights
Explaining everything
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Girl, i'm sorry, forgive me
There's no reason why
Please don't cry
I love you, oh, no, oh, oh
Lady, lady, little lady
Please, i promise i
I'm saying that i'm sorry
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
Girl, i'm sorry, forgive me

Please be on my side
I'm sayin' that i'm sorry
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
I'm sorry
8.In A Rush
1 - it came over me in a rush
When i realized that i love you so much
That sometimes i cry, but i cant tell you why
Why i feel what i feel inside
How i try to express what's been jugglin' my mind
But still can't find the words
But i know that something's got a hold of me
Repeat 1
Baby, some day i'll find a way to say
Just what you mean to me
But if that day never comes along
And you don't hear this song
I guess you'll never know that...
Repeat 1
And when i say inside, i mean deep
You fill my soul with something i cannot explain
What's over me
Repeat 1 'til end
