Yeah
Ooh woo woo
Mmmm

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Set you free as a bird
You can do as you please
Don't let these memories
Bring you back to a place
Where you won't find love again
Set you free as a bird
You can do as you please
Don't let these memories
Bring you back to a place
Where you won't find love

Held my tounge when
You talk all that la-la
Held your hand in the mall
When we balled out
Found a way to get you a ticket
When its sold out
Just to be with you
Be with you
Threw my heart for a loop
When I found out
Bout your plans and the things
You was all about
Didnt see cause I
Was just all about
Finding love with you
But you cant tell the deed
You wasnt playin me
After all these thing s ive done
Just to make you happy
I wish I could find a way
To make me let you stay
Ive done all that I can do
Except let you fly away

<i>[Chorus X2]</i>

Kiss your lips in the morning when we wake up
Held my comments till you put on your make up
Even ate the whole plate of pancakes up
Just to keep it cool
Kept it cool
So this how you do
When a man come through
And try and do for you
I shoulda knew cause your homegirls are shady too
I'm mad cause I spent love on you
It took too long to see
That you've wasted all my time
After all these things ive done
Just to make you happy
But check this sh** out right here
I want you to meet someone
Brand new special in my life
Cause you and I are done
Set you free....
Gonna set you free
Yeah

<i>[Vocals]</i>
Im gonna
Set
You....

Oohh
Eh

Feels so good
To be free
From love
Sign of begining
Free from love
Free from hate
It feels so good

I'm better as a man and it's all because of you baby.
And now I understand when they say 'Behind a strong man there's you'
Some can't comprehend the words i speak on track 10 baby
But there's a new meaning for the truth
If the truth is in a pudding, you're jello pops are Cosby
If the truth is bare naked, then the truth, it look good on you
Simplified baby, we make it do what it do
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you.

I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine.

I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, you're mine.
A few reasons why you're mine.

This song is my ode to you, for the twice time baby.
I learned a few things since the last time I told you the truth,
Got me outside with no umbrella and it's rainin.
But I don't mind your wetness, it's cool.
If we had computer love, I would let you hack my myspace.
If your love was a dance, you could youtube me and watch me.
You, you, you, you bring out the youth in an old soul baby.
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you

I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.

I'm so glad you're mine, my define
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine

It's true you got me trying to find things about you to not be so wrapped up in you,
But obvi-ously it's hopeless, that's why I wrote this.
I can't help but to focus on your ass, your smile, your eyes
Just gotta keep it truthful with myself cause in the end
I'ma want you for more than a friend.
If you ain't heard me, I'ma say it again.

I'm so, I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine, you're mine.

I'm so glad you're mine, so glad
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.

Oh, ah, ah, ah, so glad
Oh, ah, ah, ah, you're mine
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh
Oh, ah, ah, ah, you're mine

I see you, in a lonely place
How can you be so lost
You're still regretting the love you left, left behind
Oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
Sitting alone each night
Are you expecting to find a love, love that's right

Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you'll never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise

There are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by
Oh darlin', there is a light that shines, special for you and me
You need to look at the other side
You'll agree

Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise
You may never find a love that's right

My sisters and mothers
Keep your eyes up to the sky
Higher, higher, higher

Humm everybody cheats right
Cool Everyone I know
(Everybody cheats.....ohhh)

I can never affair
With nobody else but u
You sexy as hell
But u know my girlfriend too
She says things about ya
Like how you's a freak at night
How you do things she neva
I neva get the pleasure
Because of the mornin after
The shame she would feel inside
The lecture I'd have to sit through
How her momma raised her right
Ya'll both rock different hairdos
But ya'll kinda look alike
I know the way I can tell it sounds wrong
But it feels so right

Girl, ohoh, girl, girl,I'm cheatin on my
Girl, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, girl, girl, that's my world

I....you drink more than my girl
While she keeps me business post
She dresses warm in the summer
While you don't wear any clothes (in the winter)
Rememberin the other day (when I sent ya)
A dozen of them longstem roses
You told me neva eva
Send roses you would rather
Me send them to the other
And then you took off your clothes
You asked me who I wanted
The nasty one I suppose
We tussled into the moonlight
A break from my everyday world
I fell asleep with my love affair
And woke up next to my

Girl, yeah yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin with my
Girl, yeah yeah, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my own, girl, girl,girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl

When love is free
It's a matter of time
Before before...(that's wrong)
Some have a girl with a chick on the side (I don't need it)
My girl is all
She's all I need so I don't mind cheatin on my

Girl, with my, girl, girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl, girl, said I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl, girl, oahhh
Girl, oooohhh, girl, girl, I'm cheating on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl-girl, I'm cheatin on my
Girl, with my, girl girl, I'm cheating
With my girl, I'm cheating on my girl with my girl
With my gril, I'm cheating on my girl with my girl
With my girl

Assume that we can be one under the sun
Shouldnt be that bad because we are one
And you can be
My woman my love
Now that I got time to be your man
Cmon baby, we should be together forever infinity
Love ultra (don't, don't, don't)
Beyond whatever it is you fantasize
Let me be the one to open you up to
A love beyond
All you've been opened up today we go
Find that way to find love
Above and beyond any other
Love ultra (don't, don't, don't)
Dont you feel the same that I feel
Feel the touch of me touch
Love aint up me, but leave it up to me
I love you

<i>[skat adlib]</i>

Find a love, find a love

<i>[skat adlib]</i>

Assume that we can be one under a love
It dont seem hard to conceive, huh
I wanna be your man
You can be lady
We can make love, or even make
(nah not yet)
We can make love to surpass horizons
Whatever it is, my love, fantasize it
They say fantasies come true when love is due
Let me be the one to open you up to
Love ultra

(our love, our love ultra...<i>[woman singing in the background]</i>)

<i>[Dude from the South]</i>
Yo, whassup dawg?
Yo, ain't you Dwele, man?
Man, you got a nice lil' girl right there witcha, too.
She hot, man. Where y'all from, you from Detroit?
Heard that man, yo, welcome to the South dawg.
Them, yo, man them fronts, ain't hittin' on nothin tho dawg
You gotta get some diamonds in ya mouth man
I'ma take you over here to mah mans an'nem.
Yeah, he'll hook you up, dawg...real good nah'mean?

<i>[Verse 1]</i>
Detroit...Lady
I know you goin' crazy
Everyday to the movies
Friday's to Ruby Tuesday's

When was the last time
You left the city and moved around
Cleveland and Chi-town, they don't count
I'm talkin' 'bout flyin'

More than a hour flight
Shoney's, Waffle House delight
You need some highway in ya life
But don't bring no (purse?)
Cop that when you get there...oooooooh

<i>[Chorus]</i>
We can go...dirt down South
We can get Bro's gold fronts for our mouth
Temporaries...just for the week
Let's see the world
Hop in my...Chrysler 300
Throw some longhorns...on the front bumper
Just for the week...let's see the world
My travelin' girl

<i>[Verse 2]</i>
So, you think you will travel (ooh)
You seen the states, and, see the places
You ate the food, seen many faces
But you ain't seen it all

You ain't never walked into
A store to find yo' dollar ain't shit
Find depression thru pounds and pence
And baby, that's my word

And...you ain't never stepped into
The street to look for traffic to find...
...it's not in front of you, it's behind
You move just in time to catch the bird...flip
You'll find out when you get there...ohhhh

<i>[Chorus 2]</i>
We can go...to London
Bring your umbrella, it's probably rainin'
No sunshine, but no complainin'
'cause we seein' the world (fly with me)
Picadilly Square...to Camden
Jazz cafe...walk right in
Catch a free show, 'fore we see the world
My travelin' girl

<i>[Bridge]</i>
First first stop Paris, France like a supastar
Hop hop on the stage make 'em <i>[*something in French*]</i>
Next next stop, Primo Concierto Italia
Bella bella, hold me down, I call 'em my frittalia
Third third stop Germany, come backstage
Bored in this hotel, might not (???)
All all these places my lady I been before
But I ain't never been to Monaco, so...

<i>[Chorus 3]</i>
We can go...to Monaco
No yacht, but, we can rent a boat
With the paddles, but we could roll slow
And see the world
Make love ripples...by the boat drift
Drink champipple...the semi-cheap shit
Just for the week, let's see the world
My travelin' girl
And, we can go...straight to the moon
Close your eyes and...let's make it true
Don't need no...astrosuit
To leave this world...and
We won't need...no spaceship
Just some oils...and a tight grip
For lift off...and we heaven sent
My travelin' girl

If you want to

I can't fall in love ...knowin I still got these feelins for you ....
it's been so long since I told you we was thru.... you kept in touch and I touched as well.....
Thought we kept it cool
Now you Boo'd up... found you some one to replace me thass wassup....

Baby girl is cool but she's fallin in love.... but I don't think I'm thru which you baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>

<i>[Chorus]</i>

She can find over the years since I last seen her
It's been some time, I tripped up this day
She don't need
No knowledge of how she ran my
Memory
Up until this day,
This fine day in may,
Certainly I flashedback to bobby
And remembering,
A special envy
He possesed the only thing my life was missing,
Can only guess why every bodies telling me that shes shady...
Ooohhhhhhhhh, whhhyyyyy? oooooooohhhhhhhhhh....soooooo
Shady shady shady
Shady mothafuu...
Cuz I was blinded by beauty I
I didnt see the ??
After three weeks have passed
Of courtin this chick and I still aint hit that ass,
She had the nerve to ask a favor of Dwe,
'I'm in dire straights' she said
'I need five hundred for books for class'
But I dont understand, so lets just ??
Before I can let her know,
She followed it up with head shots called fellatio
She found my weakness
That shady mothafuu...
That shady mothafuu... fuu ooooohhhhhh whhhyyyyyyy
Oooooohhhoooo soo so
Shady shady shady
After her job was done
She went to the bathroom and said 'ill be back soon'
But you know what was strange?
She picked up her phone.
I overheard her say, 'bobby I got the dough meet me on monroe'
I choked on pride, this bitch was wrong
But I held my tongue...
As she exited the bathroom and came in
I grabbed her legs,
Threw her onto my bed,
I released my tongue
Karma lingeres until she screamed jesus!
I nto her ear I whispered.. pssssss..
And a single tear drop falls
Simply caused to the (realized is pimpin??)
She looked uneasy,
She says 'I got to go.'
She met Bobby on Monroe, yeah.
She asked for the key to the stash for the cash, B.
Bobby's birthday was tomorrow.
She promised to suck my skabarro.
The keys to unlock the safe is,
Of three years of Bobby girl's shadiness.
?? threw Bobby a kiss and smiled. *muah*
Meanwhile,
I go to take a piss,
She dropped a note in the bathroom sink and
With the inked was ran and shit.
Something about 'Japan first class ticket'.
I used my only lead.
I got in my whip to see about Monroe street.
There I see a limosine.
Windows cracked with this bitch in the backseat.
I said 'What the hell is this?'
She said 'I came with Stayo pimp and his profile.
The hottest Tokyo sound.'
Oh you Shady Mothafuuu...
But im gonna ff her ?? ... hell yeah...

You're saying thangs
No one stays the same
So I take it lightly
When you say that I've changed
All that I do
Is done for you
And I can't help but feel bad
When you place me at the blame

I'm such a sucka for you baby
Oooooh
I'm such a sucka for you babe

I got enough money
To fly you around
And around the world again
Until you're ready to come down (all the way down)
But let's keep it real
Had it not been for the fame
I probably wouldn't have even known you
Or even got to know your name
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

(Sucka) It's all for you
(I'm a sucka) Everything I do
(I'm a sucka) It's all for you

I'm amazed at your selfish ways
You want to take me from my travels
All my musical gains
(But could you live here without) Could you live here without a flat screen
Your diamonds and thangs
If I took a breathe and left this business for you
I might lose you in the same
Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

(I'm a sucka for you) Oh La-la-la-la-la
(I'm vain too) I don't want to loose what I got with you
(It's all for you) Ooooooh
I'm a sucka for you <i>[x6]</i>

Can you blame me for wanting to hold on to something this vain

<i>[Vamp out]</i>

There ohhhh yea yea ohhhh
Sometimes we must go
We must look at our situations lady
And how could u make me chose
Between you and my first life
There's so many others
Wishing that they can raise their families
All first at the same
And playing and traveling
But you keep me within chain
Holding, keeping me from leaving
I hope for the day
When you and I can agree
And we can live like we ardor be
Girl its all for u
And you call me
Fame <i>[x7]</i>
Ohh <i>[x4]</i>

within a dream i try to catch myself,
and awakin myself before i dream of something else,
and have the greatest song ever wrote.
and with a hazy eye i bring myself upright,
grab for my pen and scoll to bare my soul and i hope
the hand can translate my flow.
for overzelous pen it seems it has a dream of being
the ink of a mans soul
the greatest pen this hand will ever hold
sometimes in the journy though
the mind to pen seem so close
the translation is hard to hold
and we ain't even got to the studio
and now she waits to destract my motivated stroke
come back to bed
is the song she sings
she hates when i wake her from a lucid dream
but she don't know what the song can mean
why can't it wait
wait till the suns a little bit higher
she still burns from last nights fire
and she wants me to dous the flame
but wait if i did the song wouldn't be the same
i'm sorry

Get your team
Get your flock
Get your Body rock
Tell your girls not to stray
Cause my crew is on the way
And they all wanna body rock
Pimpim for days They wanna
Play with you ladys

Girl me and you grab up your crew
I and my dudes
Make the night do what it do
Smoke out
Do that shit before you hop in my ride
Keep it fragant that baby fresh cause that's how I like to ride
