Hey Mr. DJ I heard you dedicate this last one to the lovers Well make this a good one ‘cause to me it means much more than the others Me and my baby just agree to disagree And though we really love each other we gotta know when to let things be so I’ll Put on my stepping shoes, save this dance for me and you I had a real good time But now it’s time to say goodbye It's the last song 'fore we go home party's over once it comes to an end In the meanwhile ‘fore we move on let's go once more and still leave here as friends Tonight I wanna party (but) not with just anybody the night is yours by invite only Not one for reminiscing But right now I can’t resist it As I recall how you cured my lonely and those were the days ships might sail away As they leave for different options things had to change chapters turn a page but this story’s never forgotten So long Said we’ve been here so long Though we walked in alone we still wound up together So Wrong Would it be so wrong If we prayed that this song Would stay on forever

Todamore 04:18
Shorty I’d like to take your hand And bring you round the world like a diplomat visiting foreign lands And show you how it feels when a queen dips her toes into foreign sand Next time you meet up with all your friends You introduce me as your man But first I gotta take you up I know you like life’s finer things So when we take a hit Ain’t no seeds just smoke Get lost inside the haze Fancy restaurant, leave a tip Hotel penthouse we close the shades And I’ll be spanking you long before you get a chance to misbehave But first I gotta lift you up Shorty, there’s levels to this We makin’ rebel music Cause once you step into this You gon be steppin’ to this Teachers explain to students Winners refrain from losing We were designed to be the irrifuted, undisputed Certified high, so fly, can’t lie, Clear blue sky we’ll be droppin’ a payload Know the flow might blow minds showtime so good angels hand you a halo Elevate have ‘em asking where they go While we master the castles of Greyskull If it’s cash take the pounds over pesos All looking bueno So how could you say no? Whenever you’re sure Let’s take this plane and fly Go somewhere warm I’ll keep you occupied Whatever you want I guarantee you’ll find And when you want more I’m more than qualified Let me take you to the more

This is Africa (straight up) ain't no chaser We gon' take it up higher Elevator If you're looking for party just be patient This one 'bout to get started any second And if you’re tryna find the way Only the lion’s will come this far Be a Lion for a day All of the jungle will hear you roar As the music is jammin’ The rhythm is slammin’ The people are askin’ for Bam Bam straight up (Bruk it down) This is Jamaica (straight up) ain't no chaser Come fi ram up di dance 'n Bad behavior Uno wine up ya body 'n move your waist uh DJ ramp up di sound 'n Mash di place up (BO!) And if you’re tryna find the way You’ll find it today, today When the lions start to play You won’t be the same again As the music is jammin’ The rhythm is slammin’ The people are askin’ for Bam Bam straight up

Black Widow 05:13
She rode in like a thief in the night No satisfying her appetite she spun the web that lasso'd me in with one conversation got under my skin and I guess they don't teach some things in school or I could have saved myself but instead I was defenseless and she got the best of me, she's a She's a Black widow spider Angel face Nothing inside her But empty space she'll steal your heart and exit the scene She's wanted for murder but I want her for me Now there's laws of attraction most folks obey So I stayed believin' that I'd be safe but she fired a shot that came without a warning was here in the evening but gone in the morning and I guess they don't teach these things to fools cause I couldn't save myself and I admit, I admit, I played the fool for you she's such a cold thing And fallin' in love with a fugitive is so unfortunate Cause they never leave witnesses with all of her sins I couldn't bring myself to turn her in and now and then, now and then, think I see her face but she's gone with out a trace

Baby, you could be, fully auto-matonic I wouldn’t even know Cause the way that you respond to me Lately is so robotic It’s hardly personal Maybe it’s a sign of the times (there changin’ and) People deal in 1’s and 0’s Leading very opposite lives (as strange as it is) Even love is virtual If you put your love on autopilot I guarantee we won’t survive the fall if your gonna phone it in don't bother might as well just save yourself the call And we’ll be, destined for system failure if we don’t change and make maintenance our first concern It’s a simply equation (no computation needed) what you put in will return I remember when there were sparks (electricity) long before emotion was gone (so gone, so gone) Now it’s like we’re missing some parts (We’ve changed and were) Barely turning each other on When it’s not getting better but it can’t stay the same (no) Gotta fix all our errors or be victims of the digital age

Pressure 04:14
I know you feel you've been surrounded expectations so high you don't know where to go but everyone has got their mountains, and once you start to climb you'll find you're not alone You got a family to take care of and bills to pay but tell me who takes care of you? when what you bring home just ain't enough But you still make do while you're looking for a way out We gon' make it through this Like there's nothing to it Hey, they'll be nothing stopping us cause now I said now the world and it's problems no longer get us down What we build can’t no one tear it down Just believe we’ll turn it all around What we build can’t no one tear it down Just believe we’ll turn it all around

Love, up to now only got the short end of the stick Romance I tried my hand, it damn sure made me sick I tried to call it quits, to save my sanity but it's too late for me Even though some things are worth waiting for I always wanted so much more Life surely wasn't all that I thought it would be Truly Till I met you You're the one that can turn this cold world upside down Take away all my fears, erase my every doubt just a few words from you can turn my life around See you're the one I need Then, just when I thought I had this life thing figured out You came and showed me what it's truly all about Sat on the sidelines hoping I'd get in the game Then you called my name You said Boy what could you be waiting for? Time's one thing you just can't ignore Go forward and know all that you saw in your dreams can be but it takes you You're the one that can turn this cold world upside down Take away all the fears, erase my every doubt just a few words from you can turn it all around You're the one I need

Best is Yet 03:53
I've been a lotta places in my life where I couldn't always tell my wrong from right Dropped everything inside a slot machine and hoped I could hitch a ride with destiny Punchin' at the moon cause I ain't really where I wanna be Hopin' that the next bus'll take me right outta town So much on the line that if fear ever tries to come for me I'll stare him in the face and I'll wrestle him to the ground When you say your penance don't look back let your faith keep you on the run and you won't have any more regrets Once you know the best is yet to come Let's travel on a space ship back in time unravellin' the mysteries that we find No gravity can keep us from what's ours cause everyday we dream we’ll travel amongst the stars Show me anyone that has made it to where they wanna be I'll show you 20 more that have tried and have fallen down They’ve fallen down, They’ve fallen down So much on the line that if fear ever gets in front of me I'll stare him in the face and I'll wrestle him to the ground Nothing you could say is at loud as the voice inside of me Had my share of doubts when nobody else was around No one’s around, No one’s around So much on the line that if fear ever tries to gun for me I'll find him where he lives and I'll bury/put him into the ground
