ART OFFICIAL CAGE

Welcome home class
You come a long way
(You come a long way)

Come on let's go
Free people, come on let's go
Free the people
Free the people

Eye woke up in the city in a bit of a rage
Trying to free my mind from this art official cage
got my future stock from an early age

A place in heaven far off in the future

Come on let's go
Free the people, come on let's go
Art official
Art official cage

Ghettos 2 the left of me, Marz 2 the right
Why does my kingdom come only where's at night?
Why should I expect if eye'm not willing 2 fight?
A place in heaven somewhere in the future

Art official, art official
Art official cage

Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth
Got me second class when eye got here first
Lovely score but how am eye supposed 2 know what it's worth
Art official age in the future

Free the people, come on let's go
Starting from the top getting higher so
Never going back underwater, no
Brand new boogie without the hero
Sure Minneapolis get this, no
Eye'm going up lady liberty's dress and blow, blow, blow

Art Official, free the people
Art official, art official
Cage, cage, cage

Art official cage
We need you to tell us what u know
We need you to tell us what u know

Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage, cage, cage, cage, age, age, age


CLOUDS

You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back

In this brand new age
we do everything Quick, fast, in a hurry
All of our life's a stage
Everybody stars, reality so blurry
If you scream out loud, loud
Top of your voice be higher than the crowd (no)
Tattoo-less and proud, yeah
We'll get to something higher that doesn't require clouds
No, we don't need no clouds, no

You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back
All over me

I'm gonna give you something baby
But I wonder does it really even matter if it ain't on a stage
If it ain't on a stage
I don't really think it matters in this brand new age

When life's a stage, in this brand new age
How do we engage?
Bullying just for fun
No wonder there's so many guns
Maybe we're better off in space

Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, can you hear my voice?
Sir, we know you're a little bit groggy
And you're probably going to find it hard to speak
But don't try to talk or process too much now
We just want to let you know that the medication you were given
Has put you in a suspended animation for quite some time
Well, in fact, about 45 years
But where you are now
Is a place that does not require time
That being said, you are completely safe
And we are here to help you

You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
It's in my power to love you
It's in my power to love you up
It's in my power to love you

It's in my power to love you up


BREAKDOWN

Listen to me closely as the story unfolds
This could be the saddest story even been told
I used to want the house with the biggest pool
I've been missing out I just feel like a fool

Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down

I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve
First one intoxicated, last one to leave
Waking up in places that you would never believe
Give me back the time, you can keep the memories

Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down

Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like you
Whenever I was sorry, so sorry for the things I used to do
A journal full of numbers that I used to go through
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you

Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down

You keep breaking me, you keep breaking me down
I don't wanna walk out
Don't wanna go down, down, down

See there's a door that you can walk through
Where there used to be a wall
I don't care, it's cool as long as you catch me baby
(Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall
Closer to the breakdown, the closer we get


THE GOLD STANDARD

Check your bog down, make that butt go round
Let me see you go Ebola, I love the way you shut your body down
Let me hear it go round go go go
Check your bog down, make that butt go round
Let me see you go Ebola, I love the way
You, everybody, get ready to move
go go go go go go go go
Awh yeah
Lets body, Lets body
Cmon, Lets
We look what you're thinking nude is the brand new young
Everybody's drinking in a priest cool gold
You don't need to be rude
You don't need to be wild
Whatever you do don't need to come from Dunnwoody style
The gold standard crazy amazing
Get on that schlong groove
The gold standard crazy amazing
Turn it up let you body move


U KNOW

Put your hands together
No, like this

Surprise, surprise
Another treat, another trick
This is sweet
Which one's which?

For the record, let me state
that I never had a reason to break
Contractually or sever
Relationship with anyone I pleasure

For the playa, let me stop and say-a
That I only paid attention
When I heard you mention
That he tried to take your treasure
(Oh no he didn't)

And as a matter of fact I would have gave you back
But then he had a heart attack
When you made him pack
And said his shack without you would be better

See, what I really mean

See, what I really mean
Is that our future queen
Should never be in frustration
With this rock and roll machine
Oh no not ever, ever

Yeah, you know
What

You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know

You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know

If you really wanna find the answer
To this Cancer, then we must rewind
Then never mind the first opinion
You better act surprised

To run this game requires fame
You stole a name and nothing gained
Unless you sacrifice my dear
It's only claim for his dominion

And any question of the deal
Is met with another demand to kneel
And reprimand concealed
Allegations of you sinning

That's why
Feminine wiles are not surprised
In recognizing that the power of the breasts
Is just a test
That you'll be winning

Baby
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know

You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know

There it is
Put ur head down
Just know thyself
Talk to me (?)

(You know, you know)
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know


BREAKFAST CAN WAIT

Hey baby, where you going?
No please don't rush off so soon

And we got to decide (decide)

Over the bridge... Over the bridge (Over the bridge) before, before it burns
Don't u let it burn, let it burn, baby

This could be us (oh yeah)
This could be...us
Oh u gotta stop playing' baby

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That a woman needs love (L-O-V-E) love
Like a river flow, like a river flow inside
If its good that's all she thinking of
Metaphysical (?? ??)

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

Been a couple hundred hours since he got Ur call
U use 2 treat me like David, but now I feel like Saul
Been making it rain all around the world
What difference does it make when the boy ain't got his girl?

This is what it feels like (x2)
This is what it feels like, babe (x2)
This is what it feels like (x2)
This is what it feels like, babe

Ur name's not David and it sure ain't Saul
Maybe U have no business writing on my wall
Springtime on the Philistines b4 the middle of the fall (Middle of the fall)
Silly rabbit needs 2 stop doin' tricks if U wanna get my call
(If U wanna get my call)

This is what it feels like (x2)
(This is what it feels like, babe)
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like (x2)
This is what it feels like, babe (x2)

Everybody goes up and down in a lifetime love affair
Makin' up, just breakin' up and pullin' each other's hair
What I wouldn't give 2 have U right here next 2 me
Show U want I really feel about U, well listen and U will see

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe (x2)
This is what it feels like (x2)
Yeah
This is what it feels like, babe (x2)

The art of seduction, U and me is the right equation
And all U need 2 reach my lovin' is why I stared down a muffin
I can't wait 2 be Ur baby... baby, here I am... just take me

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, baby (x8)


AFFIRMATION I & II

Before you have any interaction with members of the opposite sex
We're going to have to debrief you thoroughly over the course of the next few sessions
Today though we are just going to start off with some simple affirmations
that will be automatically induced to your memory temple,
that you can upload on to a hard drive and can review at your desire

Affirmation number one, there are no such words as me or mine
Words of this nature were introduced into society as a control mechanism
which systematically divided the subjects first individually and then as a collective
From now on any person or object whatsoever that requires your attention
is something that's veered from its path and preordained destiny of total enlightenment


WAY BACK HOME

I never wanted a typical life
scripted role, huh...trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to b left alone
See my beds made up at night
Cuz in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home

So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
Find my way back home

Most people in this world are born dead
But I was born alive
I was born with this dream
With a dream outside my head
That I could find my way back home
My my way way back home

Is this the way?

Power to the ones, power to the ones
who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if u look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell u about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can u see my way back home
Can u see my way back home


FUNKNROLL

Let's, Funk, Roll, Up
Get it turned up, get it, get it (x4)

So finally beloved we meet at last
Middle of the here, nevermind the past
Only way 2 get 2 where U never been
Is 2 party like U ain't gonna party again

Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it outta control
Getting 2 the rhythm is good 4 the soul
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it outta control
Come on everybody, let's funknroll

Whether U are coming by bus or train
Shade throwers hating like they're going insane
Million dollar party 2 their nickel & dime
Another mother further U're committing a crime

Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it outta control
Getting 2 the rhythm is good 4 the soul
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it outta control
Come on everybody, let's funknroll

The only way 2 last 'til the break o dawn
Put UR phone down now & get UR party on
Who U gonna call when it's obvious dear?
Everyone U know is rocking up in here

Let's funk, let's roll (let's roll, let's roll)
Get it turned up, get it outta control

Get it turned up, get it outta control
Come on everybody, let's funknroll

AFFIRMATION III

How are you feeling today Mr Nelson?
I trust you'll having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period
As you can see we're communicating now telepathically
Which makes things move so much faster here
after you've completed the planned affirmation therapy
you'll find this way of interaction far easier

Until I
I find my
My way back
Home home

You've probably felt for many years in your former life
that you were separated from not only others but even yourself
now you can see that was never the case
you are actually everything and anything that you can thing of
all of it is you

Until I
I find my
My way back
Home home
Until I
I find my
My way back
Home
(x3)

Remember there really is only one destination and that place is you
All of it, everything, is you

Until I
I find my
My way back
Home home
Until I
I find my
My way back
Home
