Inspiration

Here I am with my one-way ticket
Nothing but a dollar and a dream and the clothes on my back
I think it’s worth it
I tell my parents I will be fine
They can see the passion in my eyes
And they know
It will all be worth it
Fire in my spirit
Trust in my heart I can see where the path would lead me
And I will be fine
Feel my heart beating
I know where I should be
Here in the big city of dreams
And this will all be mine
Fight will light my way to the top
I’ll keep going I won’t stop
Knowing this is where I’m going
Be your inspiration
Be your inspiration
Keep my head up goals set high
Yes! My name will be in lights
Never forget where I have came from
I’m an inspiration
I’m your inspiration
They will see I’m the brightest star
I can never let anything get between my dreams
I gotta make it worth it
Every single day I’m going after my prize
Never let another, not a man take away my sight
It won’t be worth it
No time for heartbreaks
No time for love games
Even if I get lonely
I will be fine
Drive in my footsteps
Pain in each glide
I can see where the steps will take me
This will all me mine!
Fight will light my way to the top
I’ll keep going I won’t stop
Knowing this is where I’m going
Be your inspiration
Be your inspiration
Keep my head up goals set high
Yes! My name will be in lights
Never forget where I have came from
I’m an inspiration
I’m your inspiration

You ever been with a girl like me
You can’t handle a girl like me
You’d just put me on a pedestal use my name to make em look good inside
Cause I’m more that just a trophy
I got a lot of good things going for me
If you want to have this cutie this ain’t the way to do me
I got so much inside
I I I I
See I’d like to fall in love but
Not That Type of Guy
You gotta treat me like lady
See I’d like to fall in love but
Not that type of guy
You gotta love me for me
Tell me what you see when you look at me
Tell me you see past my face
Find a different place
Another space in my mind inside
Cause I need a man who’s down for me
Who would support my dreams help me reach my dreams
I need a go-getter
Hard worker
Oh yeah
See I’d like to fall in love
But not that type of kind
You gotta treat me like a lady oh
See I’d like to fall in love but
Not that type of guy
Love me for me oh
To kiss me
To miss me
To hold me
To mold me
To hug me
To rub me
To rock me
To need me
To hold me
To touch me
To see me
I want love
See sweetheart you need a man with sensitivity
Substance and integrity
Not a four legged pedigree
Stop dealing with these scrubs girl let them leave
Another con man with a million tricks up his sleeve
Not to toot my own horn but I’m that dude yo
Foot massages and flowers I like to move slow
Relax girl no worries I’d cook dinner
It’s John Rob the one to make your heart throb
You’re dealing with a winner yes
See I’d like to fall in love
But not that type of kind
You gotta treat me like a lady
See I’d like to fall in love but
Not that type of guy
You gotta love me for me
Gotta love me for me
Oh
See I’d like to fall in love
But not that type of kind
You gotta treat me like a lady oh
See I’d like to fall in love but
Not that type of guy
You gotta love me for me oh
Like to fall in love to fall in love
Like to fall in love to fall in love
You gotta love me for me oh
Like to fall in love to fall in love
Like to fall in love to fall in love
You gotta love me for me oh

Tell Me Yes
02:52
|
|||
Tell me when you ever wish do you wish for love?
And when you have a dream, is it peaceful
When you get down on your knees and pray are you crying out for GOD
And do you find it hard to be hopeful?
Tell me why is it that we live in constant war?
Every time we turn around someone’s being murdered
So if anyone ever asks you if we can change the world, you should say yes
You should tell them yes
So tell me yes
We can change
Yes
We can change
Yes
We can change the world
So tell me yes
We can change
Yes
We can change
Yes
We can change the world
When I wake up in the morning to the rising son
I’m reminded how we built this land for free
From my darkest ancestor to my youngest child
I pray equality will come our way
Tell me why is it that we walk a silent line
Because someone doesn’t want to see similarities
So if anyone ever asks you to open up your heart
You should say yes
You should tell them yes
Oh, tell me yes
So tell me yes
We can change
Yes
We can change
Yes
We can change the world
So tell me yes
We can change
Yes
We can change
Yes
We can change the world
Let me hear you say yes yes
Yes yes
Yes yes
Yes!
Let me hear you say yes yes
Yes yes
Yes yes
Yes!
Let me hear you say yes yes
Yes yes
Yes yes
Yes!
Let me hear you say yes yes
Yes yes
Yes yes
Yes!

Real Love
03:20
|
|||
Do you look for me in a crowd?
Do you long to see me when you’re out?
Waiting for the moment we reconnect
Just waiting
Anticipating
I surrender
I give in
Because I’m ready for your loving
I’m letting you know
It’s time to let go
No, lets not put anything we have on hold
And we will not fall
We will fly
If we drop all our doubts and just try
We can be lovers
Really good friends
Love still exists in the world
Lets forget the past and bring back real love
Love is unfaithful
Love is unkind
Everybody cheats
Everyone lies
But I would be faithful
Your natural woman
If you just say you’re with me
Just stay with me
I surrender
I give in
Because I’m ready for your loving
I’m letting you know
It’s time to let go
No, lets not put anything we have on hold
And we will not fall
We will fly
If we drop all our doubts and just try
We can be lovers
Really good friends
Love still exists in the world
Lets forget the past and bring back real love

Love Yah!

I wanna love you and love you and love you everyday
I wanna love you and love you and love you all of my way
The people upstairs will know what’s going on
You got up every night singing your songs
I wanna love you and love you and love you everyday
I wanna go to the park and kiss you underneath the trees
I wanna rub on your head while you’re laying down talking to me
The people around can see it in my eyes
I never loved anyone quite as fine
I wanna love you and love you and love you everyday
I wanna go to your show and sit pretty up in the front row
I want to put on my tight dress and jiggle all my back down below
The people in behind will know what’s going on
I know all the words to all of your songs
I wanna love you and love you and love you everyday
I wanna love you
And love you
I wanna love you
And love you
I wanna love you
And love you
I wanna love you
And love you
I’m gonna hold your hand as we walk underneath the stars
I’m gonna kiss on your mouth til we get back to the house
I’d do anything just to make you see
I’m so happy that you belong to me
I’m gonna love you and love you and love you for always
I’m gonna love you and love you and love you for always
I’m gonna love you and love you and love you for always

One Good Man
02:49
|

There is one sky
There is one moon
There is one earth that we
Live happily
We have one soul one heart one body
Used to show love
My desire to fall wants to dive
Someone give me one good man to love
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night
One is all that I need to get by
When I find him I will
Give him my all
He can take my soul my heart and body to have and to hold
And together our love will reach the sky
Someone give me
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night
All I used to know love just wasn’t for me
All I used to know that this was love at first night
But now I’m all alone I need to be held
But I won’t give up until I find true love
Because I still want a good man
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night
One good man
All I need is
One good man
All I need is one good man to kiss me good night

Save The Rain
03:20
|

Drip Drop
Drip Drop
Drip Drop
Drip Drop
The weather man called for scattered showers all day
Sending rain through the midday
And tonight lightening strikes with thunder rumbling through the sky
So today I’m taking a break from work
Cooking and cleaning my place
Not going anywhere
My favorite days
Are the rainy days
When me and my baby
Stay in bed all day
We call in sick from work
Abd we turn off out phones
We just lay in bed and listen to the rain
Save your rainy days for me
Mmmm I love to be
In your arms when it’s storming out
Oh baby just
Save your rainy days for me
Because I love to be
In Your arms when it’s storming out
We fight over the remote control
And argue who’d win the game
We don’t talk through the history channel but he’ll fuss if I turn lifetime on
I say
He says
Then he’ll just kiss my check
I think he thinks he knows how to keep me quiet
Then he’d hold me close
And I’d rub his back
We’ll snug a little closer
As close as close can get
I swear it’s even better
When we’re doing our thing
When it’s thundering and lightening outside
Oh baby just
Save your rainy days for me
Because I love to be
In your arms when it’s storming out
Oh baby just
Save your rainy days for me
Because I love to be
In Your arms when it’s storming out
Drip Drop
Drip Drop
Drip Drop
Drip Drop
Save your rainy days for me
Because I love to be
In your arms when it’s storming out
Oh baby just
Save your rainy days for me
Because I love to be
In Your arms when it’s storming out

Baby I ain’t gonna lie
Never expected you to have me up in black lace
Waiting on you
Hurry up and get home
I’m hot for you
Baby if you had a long day
You don’t have to say a word when you arrive
I’ll wait for you
Whatever you want,
I’ll do it for you
Oh your love
Your touch
I yearn for it
I ache for you
Oh your kiss
Your love
I want you right now but I’ll wait for you
Baby just come to me
Let me do you all night long
Take your time
I’ll wait for you
Let me show you how much
I missed your touch so just lay on me
And softly kiss me there as I say I waited on you
I’ll call your name, you know I’m all yours
Oh your love
Your touch
I yearn for it
I ache for you
Oh your kiss
Your love
I want you right now but I’ll wait for you
So just lay
Baby Baby just lay
I’ll wait for you
So just lay
Baby Baby just lay
I’ll wait for you
So just lay
Baby Baby just lay
I’ll wait for you
So just lay
Baby Baby just lay
I’ll wait for you

See you in my window
See you in the mirror of my love
Wanting to be near you
Feel you in the moment of my heart
I keep wishing you would come my way
I know you would fit so good in my life
I can show you real love, boy
How beautiful we could be if you were mine
Oh, if you were mine
Oh, if you were mine
If you were mine
Tasting you lips
I wish that I could share it with my girls
Just so they could witness
The sweetness of your love
I keep wishing you would come my way
I know you would fit so good in my life
I can show you real love, boy
How beautiful we could be if you were mine
Oh, if you were mine
Oh, if you were mine
If you were mine

03:33

Oooh ah oooh
Oooh ah oooh
Oooh ah oooh
Oooh ah oooh
Am I the only one
Who’s feeling hopeless
About my love
Is it time to let go
I feel a difference
Like you’re drifting away from me
A separation
Two worlds apart
A growing distance from your heart to mine
Says let him go
Let him turn away from me
Love and leave me
Kiss me to release me
Hold me tonight and walk away tomorrow
I see you’re drifting away
I see you’re drifting from my love
Thought what we had was something true
You don’t love me like I do
Now you’re miles away
Detached from you
Ooo ah ooh
Ooo ah ooh
Ooh ah ooh
Ooh ah ooh
Am I the only one
Who’s feeling the change
You don’t even touch me
Or hold me the say
What did I do
To make you turn away from me
Have I mistaken
Is this all in my head
Insecurities getting the best of me
Don’t say good bye
Don’t turn away from me
If you want to leave me
Let’s make this easy
Let’s make love
And walk away tomorrow
I see you’re drifting away
I see you’re drifting from my love
Thought what we had was something true
You don’t love me like I do
Now your miles away
Detached from you
Ooh ah ooh
Oooh ah ooh
Oooh ah ooh
Ooh ah ooh
Feeling gone
Lost in love
Losing you
Lost in love
I see you’re drifting away
I see you’re drifting from my love
Thought what we had was something true
You don’t love me like I do
Now you’re miles away
Detached from you

Sister
I don’t want your man
Not trying to tell your secrets
I'm not trying to take your job
Sister
We are both brown skin
A victim of circumstance
But we can win if we just be friends
Rise to occasions
Work to pave the way
There’s no jealousy and envy
Let's shake hands it'll be ok
Let’s Surrender
Surrender
We Surrender
Surrender
I am not your enemy
Let’s not be what they want us to be
Let’s Surrender
Surrender
We Surrender
Surrender
Prove that we aren't bitches and whores
We are Queens that knock open doors
If we work together
Black women together
We’ll win together
They know nothing can stop a sister
Sister
Look how we have grown
The more we collaborate
More kingdoms we can create
Oh, Sister
People think we can't be friends
Let’s go against the media
What they see on tv is wrong
We
Rise to occasions
We work to pave the way
There’s no jealousy and envy
We're beautiful in every way
Let’s Surrender
Surrender
I Surrender

Forget the enemy
Let’s not be what they want us to be
If we Surrender
Surrender
We Surrender

Prove that we aren't easy to kill
We are Queens with Strength Power and Will
Cause we work together
Black women together
And we’ll win together
They know nothing can stop a sister
Sister

More Than I Could
03:11
|

She’s always there to love you
Always returns your calls
Always lifts her finger
To make sure you avoid the fall
She’s always there to notice
The little things that make you, you
She knows everything about you
Your secrets and your truth
She’s perfect too perfect
She makes you so happy
She keeps you on your feet
She fulfills all your needs
To love her is so easy
Because she’s what you need
She makes you all you can be
She loves you more than I could
Always knew that you would go and find something better
Than what I can give to you it hurts to know
She loves you more than I could
I wasn’t there to hold you
I never picked up the phone
Cause I’m always on the road
Going from show to show
I never told you how I felt
Cause I was afraid of commitment
To give you the love you need
I’ll have to give up my dream
But you’re perfect so perfect
So I ran away from you
Now I have to face the truth
She loves you more than I could
Always knew that you would go and find something better
Than what I can give to you it hurts to know
She loves you more than I could
She loves you more than I could
Always knew that you would go and find something better
Than what I can give to you it hurts to know
She loves you more than I could
She loves you more, she loves you more
She loves you more than I could
She loves you more, she loves you more
She loves you more than I could
She loves you more, she loves you more
She loves you more than I could
She loves you more, she loves you more
She loves you more than I could

Know Me
03:38
|

It’s the first to call when my mind is gone so I usually trust my heart
It’s the first to talk when my mind can’t rest I make decisions from my heart
But you wouldn’t know it
It's the first to speak when I can't think
I only trust my heart
Heart
Heart
But you wouldn't know it
I was just too dramatic for you when I started wondering
I was just too petty for you when my instincts told me no
I was too independent for you when I realized
The smoke had cleared
The love was there
But you don’t know me anymore
Did you ever love me?
You never knew me
So I fought for my heart
It’s the first to bleed when you hit me so I fought for my heart
It’s the first to shake when my body ached so I need to protect my heart
Heart
Heart
But you wouldn’t know it
You never knew me
I was just too dramatic for you when I started wondering
I was just too petty for you when my instincts told me no
I was too independent for you when I realized
The smoke had cleared
Love disappeared
Hope you won’t hit me anymore
Don’t care if you loved me
You never knew me
You never knew me
You never knew me
No
