Even Your Mama

Brother,
This game is so old
that even your mama gotta play
Oooooh
What you gonna do, young man?
Are you gonna stand strong or walk away?
Brother, this game
you can win everything
and lose nothing
Brother, this game
is so good
so good

Straight to My Head
02:45

I need to see devotion
Before I can even get the nerve
to make a motion
Cause I know you're here today and gone tomorrow
what you'll do, you'll beg and borrow
plenty... and then forget
So, give me mine first.
And if you can't handle that
then kick rocks
It's not the way I want to be
But, it's either this or I can get knocked
I know why you stay with me
Cause I never lie to you, never that
And when a trick calls, I tell you call back
It's all in the program
you bring it right back
Do you think I'm easy
like you could say the right thing
and I would break all the rules to the game
Do you think I'm still the boy you knew
and loved to play back in the day
Baby, don't try and go against your nature
Darling, you were made to be with a player
Squares come and ask me
did I get laid
Pimping come and ask me
did I get paid
Boy, I got it all
but none of that shit
now riddle me this
Brother, what did I get
More than a little
and that's enough said
she said I let the music go
straight to my head.
Do you think I'm easy
like you could say the right thing
and I would break all the rules to the game
Do you think I'm still the boy you knew
and loved to play back in the day
Baby, don't try and go against your nature
Darling, you were made to be with a player

Love Destiny
02:16

(opening monologue)
I'm just like him
Let the golden goddess make him my destiny
I am made prisoner because I love him
I remember one time my heart said,
“Don't hurry away.
Come into the house.”
Now, it says that every time
I think of my beloved.
I ask my stupid heart,
“Why are you so simple?
Sit quiet. Keep calm and he'll come to you.
Then, people won't look at you and say,
'That girl is unhinged with love.'”

Can I Trust You
02:40
|
|
||
(opening monologue)
Your love pervades my body
like wine pervades water
when they're mingling.
You said to me,
“Your hand in mine,
we'll stroll in every beautiful path.”
You let the world know
that I am first among your women
and my heart hurts no longer.
(verse)
I think I trust you
more than the other ones
And I might even give you
the chance to know me
Your constant laughter
makes my belly warm
And you don't make requests
to bring back the old me
That smile is something
to make a photograph
That photograph is sure
to make me smile
Whenever you need someone
with eyes to look upon you
That's me
But let me ask you first
(chorus)
Tell me
Can I trust you
I think I trust you
I trust you

Giving You My Energy
02:35
|
|
||
Electric hectic sounds
can make you grow
And if you're careful,
they can open up your soul
Sleeping beauties
rise and shine
to find
Your future memories
are floating in a breeze
Out amongst the solar seas
Never to be found
til your feetsssssss
hit the ground
