What if half the things ever said
Turned out 2 be a lie...
How will U know the Truth?
If U were given all the answers
And U stopped 2 wonder why
But how will U know the Truth?

Everybody's got a right to love
Everybody's got a right to lie
But the choice U make aint no piece of cake
It aint no MF piece of pie

{clock ticks}

What If time's only reason?
Was to give us all somethin' 2 fear?
And if so y'all, the end of the journey's so clear

Questionaire, What did U stand 4?
Questionaire, Who did U save?
When it gets right down to-wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it U take more than U gave

Everybody got a right to love
Everybody got a right to lie
But the choice U make aint no piece of cake
It aint no MFMF {O(+> screams the following} piece of pie {computer blips}

Mmmm oh
Gotta (Gonna?) tell the truth y'all
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth y'all
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth y'all
Gotta tell the truth

If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
We'd all trade bank accounts & move to back to Neptune

Don't play me
I use proper English & I'm straight
I'm in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda U prop in my way
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've been to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

Don't play me
I'm the wrong color & I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Don't play me

U couldn't play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Don't play me I already do in my car 
Don't play me

Don't be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how U call us Niggers aint the same
It's all good when U know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy U get to say his name
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've seen to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

Already got laid 

10th grade Central in September
That was a year I remember
On this chilly cold afternoon
I overheard the gang in the locker room
Rendezvous, Mary's house
Dirty words and wine
Needless 2 say they all spend the day
Just counting time, counting time

Halfway through her history class
Denise she kindly raised her hand and asked
If she could be excused ("Can I be excused?") 
Then she ran from school (ran from school) in a hurry,
The other girls, ooh they knew
This is what friends are really 4
Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Circle Of Amore

Circle of amore

Imagination showed a window (imagination)
On a cold September day (ooh)
Leaves are brown (brown), passion sounds (ooh)
Memory self astray
4 hands in the place where the feet connect
(Gang of 4)
Circle of sex
In the vicious race 2 maturity
They're almost phased from ecstasy
Sweat upon the necks of dames
Loser in the circle game
Cause memorie's R worth so much more (so much more)
Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Circle Of Amore

(Ooh)
Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Circle Of Amore

Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Circle Of Amore
Circle Of Amore

The serpent approves 
Then appears between Adam's thighs 
And he tries 2 release upon Eve the nectar 
The injector tries 
He tries, he tries, he tries 

So abduction complete 
All stand on their feet 
Look at one another and cry 

What have we done? 
Could this be the fun 
On the dotted line 4 which I did sign? 
Oh yeah 

I resign from the notion 
Cuz yours was the potion 
That I'm supposed 2 die 4 
I resign 

In self-pity so dark 
This shitty and stark 
Realization is all that will soothe 

Ultimately the only one 
That can save U is U 
Your God is inside and 4 that God U will do 
Whatever it takes 
If nothing else is true 
The only one that can save U is U, yeah

(Shoobedoop) 

Dionne
I could have been the 1
I could have shown U the shelter reserved unther the sun
Dionne, Dionne
I could have whispered U'r name
I could have whispered U'r name if only 4 fun
Dionne
U should have let me down easy
If you had no plans 2 please me
Dionne, Dionne
Dionne

Dionne

Dionne, Dionne
We could have shared a martini
We could have danced 2 Mancini, till dawn
Dionne
I should have broke down and kissed U
I should have I just miss U
Dionne 

She said – "Man in a uniform

She said – "3rd time this week U wore that old suit 
But I don't give a damn, U see? 
Because man in a uniform do funny things 2 me"

Cuz that sister just so damn fine, ah"

She said – "Man in a uniform 
Sufferin' every stroke of my hand 
From the dusk until the early morn' 
U will grant this girl's demands" (Why?) 
Cuz she need 2 be drunk with pride 
Wait a minute, I'm go'n tell U why 
2 make up, 2 make up… 
2 make up 4 the emptiness that she feel inside 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Come on 

Man in a uniform, mama 
That's what I am (Hut!)

Man in a uniform 
She said – "2night (2night) 
I want your attention" ('tention) 
She said – "2night I want your violent tongue 
2 swallow my stench and be loyal 2 me 
She'll never be free 
Until U do me like a man in a uniform" (Hut!) 

Man in a uniform (in a uniform) 
That's what I am 
In a uniform (Baby, baby, yeah) 
That's what I am 
Dirty little man in a uniform 
That's what I am (Hut!)

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity 
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me 
It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish 
Don't give me no blue cheese 
We're all members of the animal kingdom 
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea 

Animal, animal kingdom {x2} 

Who told us we should eat the swine? 
U can bet your final money it damn sure wasn't no friend of mine 
What about the clams on the shore? 
Souls in progress, here come the fisherman - soul no more 

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity 
(Nurses past, oh yeah) 
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me 
(Ever did a damn thing) 
So I don't eat no red meat or white fish 
Or funky, funky blue cheese 
We're all members of the animal kingdom 
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea 

Animal, animal kingdom {x3} 

Bad as Bonny when she ran with Barrow {Clyde}, yeah
When U kiss me, feels like I'm committing a crime, oh yeah
U use furniture in new ways, yes you do
I can't find the adjectives enough to say
I'm so glad U're my baby...okay (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Cool as the other side of the pillow (oh baby)
So smooth there's another glass of wine (bubbly, bubbly)
I'm so glad U're mine, U're my baby (oh yes I am), oh yes I am (oh yes I am)
I'm so glad U're mine

Cool as the other side (U're my baby) of the pillow
Smooth, I wanna drink U all out
How did U learn that trick with the ... chair?
I don't care
Just as long as U do it again

Cool as the other side, cool as the other side, cool as the other..
Cool as the other, cools as the other side...
As the other side of the pillow, baby
Cool (cool),
Glas of wine
I'll get tipsy and I ... {whistling}
Cool as the other side of the pillow
Cool

Fascination chamber lands on the round that kills
The art U hoped 2 mirror like
Leaves blood upon the sill
The dream U keep dreaming, is better than the life U lead
The papers run out a day and 13 hours, B4 the weed, it's so high

Fascination
Still I want U
Fascination
Still I want U, I do

The head U thought was rolling, is now reason 2 b bored
The rapper that gave that head will thank his manager b4 the lord
And the headache that U moan about feels much better than the treatment would
The pills gonna leave a side effect
That'll take another pill 2 correct
And the whole thing is leaving U feeling less than good
And U still high

...Nation
Fascination
Fascination
Fascination

Do U mind if I just watch U shake it
Shake it {4x}

...Nation
I want U
Fascination
I want U, I do

The most vital thing U thought
Is the epitome of doom
U can wake-up in cold sweat
Cause 1 of them is in U're room
Singin on the tele
Making more bucks than sense
So called king gives birth 2 so called ... prince

A breakup's bitter taste
Still here when the love is gone
And the breaks U wish 4
Finally comes among in song
Working it out
Work, work, work, working it out
Fascination 

If I could just disappear
Ceace 2 exist
Ceace 2 be here
Want me
U don't want me, I'm not worth the air that I breathe
I wish I could dissappear
Sometimes I wanne die and comeback as one of your tears
(Shoodebedotedoom)
I'm dying
Sometimes I wanne die and comeback as one of your tears
Sometimes I wanne die and comeback as one of your tears 

Spirits come and spirits go
Some stick around 4 the aftershow
Don't have 2 say I miss U (don't have 2 say I miss U)
Cause I think U already know
If U ever lose someone
Dear 2 U
Never say the words their gone
They'll come back, yeah
They'll come back, yeah yeah
They'll come back
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here

When the voices U hear commands U
2 entertain thee absurd
When U do the action unlocks
thee apocalypse of that you've heard of
When the day lies before U
seems the dakness in a word
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn

Every pieces a puzzle and every name a clue
Every charge U make is karma
So be careful what U do
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn

(Welcome 2 the dawn) (Thank U)
