Come

"When the fire comes, will everyone burn? Or will we as a people someday learn that we need each other?
" This is the dawning of a new spiritual revolution

"If U're 18 and over, come here I've got something 4 your mind
"
chorus
Come U should do that baby, no more will U cry
Come The Spirit's callin', here's the reason why
Come If U had a chance 2 see the future, would U try?
Come If U will so will I

Come When I call U up, I wanna tell U what 2 wear
Come Don't be surprised if I tell U 2 go bare
Come As long as U wash between your soul and through your hair
Come the feeling will be there

chorus

Come U should do that baby

When I lay U down
I wanna tell U what 2 feel
Don't be surprised if I make U my daily meal
Licking U inside, outside, all sides
All up and down with the tounge in the crease, baby
I go round when I go down

When I suck U there
I don't wanna hear U scream
Don't talk or breathe, don't cough or sneeze
Just dream, dream, dream, baby...
My tounge's gonne do things that U've never seen
When I blow your mind, baby
I'm gonna drive U crazy

Like a splendid, open-ended, celibate friend, pretending
Not 2 know it, when I blow it, in your eyes
Like a strawberry, chocolate, fender-jazz,
Mashed potato fuzz tone all over your thighs
That's the only come I know
When I'm deep inside that...yeah
That's the only time, the only time U go
Ohh baby U're so good, ohh baby, U're so good!
Aww shut up! This is just so... U...COME!



Space

I've never be one 2 hide my feelings, baby U blow my mind
I painted your face upon my ceiling, I stare at it all the time
I imagine myself inside your bedroom, I imagine myself in your sky
U are the reason there's bass in my boom, U are the reason I'm high

If U and I were just ten feet closer then I'd make U understand
That everything I wanna do 2 your body, baby, I would do 2 your hand
Then U'de be hip 2 the deep rush, deeper than the boom of the bass
With every other flick of the pink plush, the closer we get 2 - the space
The space - don't U want 2 go ?
The space - where the souls go
The space - where the tears flow
The space - where the love grows
The space - do U want 2 go ?

I've never be one 4 this thing obsession but just keep your eye on my hips
The circles they make will be my confession, just say the word and I'll strip
I've had dreams of us cludding on the planet Mars
Then when I wake up I'm all covered in sex
With eyes that fall somwhere between rubies and stars
Don't look at me baby or I'll flex

If U and I were just ten feet closer then I'd make U understand
That everything I wanna do 2 your body, baby, I would do 2 your hand
Then U'de be hip 2 the deep rush, deeper than the boom of the bass
With every other flick of the pink plush, the closer we get
The space - go
The space - flow
The space - grow
The space - go

The space - where the souls go
The space - where the tears flow
The space - where the love grows
The space - do U want 2 go ?



Pheromone

My left hand under your head...
While my right embraces time,
therein, my virgin, love's why...

L is 4 lust
O is 4 obsession
V is 4 the vast way U
Envelop my soul
This is crazy, this is crazy
But I could die from the pheromone

I can see the castle
I can see the throne
I can see the beloved
And she's not alone
But it's cool like that
Cause I'll be diggin' her just the same
I can see the curtain
Wrestled from the wall
I can see the hands tied
I can see it all
He pulls a gun
This is how they play the game
And I'm round the back
Cause curiosity knows no shame

chorus
Pheromone - rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone - control my every motion
Pheromone - I'm helpless as a pet
Pheromone - when your body's wet

I can feel the tension
Trough the crack in the door
He begs 4 love
While she's disgusted more
And I'm on fire
Cause I've never seen her nude before
I want 2 save her
I want 2 watch
All my vital signs go up a couple of notches
When he unties her
And she runs 2 the open door
He trips and grinds her
Right there out on the floor
She's so close I can touch her

chorus

Her eyes are closed
But there's no penetration
He just makes her point the pistol 2 his nose
While he masturbates
And I see a tear headed down towards her smile
What happens next ?
It all depends upon your style

chorus

Pheromone - rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone - control my every motion
I don't really want 2 go crazy
But I'm helpless as a pet
When I see your naked body sweat




Loose!

Whup it up, y'all!
1-2-3-4!
1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4!
Everybody wants 2 know what's wrong with U
When they see U acting like a crazy fool
When the music hits U don't know what 2 do
Push your way up 2 the front and shake your motherfuckin 'do

Loose
Fuckin 'do Loose

Bangin' gangs, slangin' wangs and rocks
Color slangin, gang-bangin, chains and rocks
Won't get U nothing but an angry cop
Get your education first and buy a pair of shoes
Push your way up 2 the front and shake your motherfuckin' do

Guitar solo

Loose

How the hell U're...
I hear U're gonna tell me what 2 do
I got the clothes, I got the black and the crew
I got clotches, I got the bank and the crew
U look real close I even got your body too
Push your way up 2 the front and shake your motherfuckin' do

Loose
C'mon everybody
Loose
Tommy or Sonny

Turn around...guitar solo
Loose
Owww!
Loose

Turn around again
On the one...
Cool!



Papa

There was one september day that papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice
4 throwing rocks at passing cars
Baby didn't listen
So like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his papa
Who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the 4-year old down
Onto the closet floor
Baby cried "I'm sorry, I won't do it no more"
Papa said "Yeah I know, that's what this here is 4"

Smack! Ooh! Papa
Smack! Smack! Ooh! Papa Papa
Smack! Ooh! Papa
Smack! Smack! Ooh! Papa Papa

As the door closes baby starts 2 cry
"Please don't lock me up again Without a reason why
" Papa just went outside
And pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said "How come I don't love my woman ?"
The he took aim and died

Boom! Papa
Boom! Boom! Papa Papa
Boom! Papa
Boom! Boom! Papa Papa

Don't abuse chidren...
Or else they turn out like me !

Fair 2 partly crazy
Deep down we're all the same
Every single one of us
Knows some kind of pain
But in the middle of all this crazy
One fact still remains
If U love somebody
Your life won't be in vain
And there's always a rainbow
At the end of every rain...



Race

The air's a little thick in this room tonight
I reckon it's a result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
overcome by this colorful sight talking so fast
that even they talking so fast that even they don't know what they mean
Of all the things 2 base a rythm, how is it
that U every time regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart ?
Thank God this ain't Monopoly - U'd make us all go back 2 start

chorus
Race - in a space I mark human
Race - face the music, we're all bones when we're dead
Race - in a space I mark human
Race - Cut me, cut U, both the blood is red
I gotcha

Three seats over there's a lady - black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her mama or another kid at school
Tells her about the fallacy that one race rules over the over she'll be a much better off - left fool
If we never heard about the evis that that those before us committed
Then how my dear tell me now how my dear
Tell me now how now would we know ?

chorus

Down with H.I.S.T.O.R.Y and all it's B.S. propaganda keeping U from me and me from U as we grow
I don't want 2 know why those before us hated each other
I wanna believe they never did
I wanna rather believe that there's hope 4 a kid and if he imitates the best
I guess that's what I'll try 2 be and I will let the rest dissolve
With my guitar underneath the sea



Dark

Inside looking out my window
I don't see nothing but rain
Sun up in the sky - a shinin'
Still I'm lost in the shadow of my pain
Like an innocent man that's on the death row
I don't understand what made U go and want 2 leave me, baby
Leave me here in the dark
Won't U tell me, tell me

U took my sex and my money
U took all my self-esteem, yes U did
U hadthe nerve 2 think it was funny
I never knew a bitch so mean
U absolutely drove a man 2 tears
All I really know is that U sincerely wanna hurt me, baby
U wanna hurt me in the dark
Somebody make the sun shine
Somebody take this dark cloud away
Just as sure as Noah built the ark
That's how sure I am U broke my heart
How could U baby, baby, leave me in the dark ?
Sometimes I want 2 curse the ground U walk on
Even when I know that everything that U feel
I feel it 2
I wanna curse U, baby, curse U in the dark



Solo

So low - the curb looks like a skyscraper
So low - the stars are under me
So quiet - I can hear the blood rushing through my veins
Solo - I feel like I'm going insane

The angels they watch in wonder
When you made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder you cried
in exstacy
U were so kind that I felt sorry 4 all creation be
'cause at the time, no one was lucky,
No one was lucky, no one was lucky as me

And now you go - oh - I just wanna be still
So silent -
I just let my senses sleep
It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If I ever learn once more 2 speak

So lost no one can find me
I've been looking 4 so long but now I'm done - I'm so alone
So alone, so alone
My name is no one.



Letitgo

All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside
Never was a reason 2 let somebody know
Lover here, lover there - who cried, who cared ?
Foolish pride... never was a good seat at any of this man's shows

chorus
Until now all I wanted 2 do is do, do, do what I do
And bang, bang, bang on the drummer and love so and so
But now I gotta letitgo, lay back and let the vibe just flow
I wanna just letitgo, lay back and let my feelings show
I'm ready 4 the real, gimme something I can feel

All my life this heart's been under lock and key
My curtains were drawn, there wasn't nobody home...
Trigger here, trigger there, everybody's high except 4 me
Better off dead if I couldn't be alone

chorus

14 years and tears I've longed 2 sing my song
But a horse couldn't drag yo ass 2 put me on
But now I got an army and we're 3 million strong
And this song will ring in your ears when we're gone

chorus
