by Ella Fitzgerald
from the album N/A

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I’ve found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.
(Chorus)
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

by Toni Braxton
from the album Toni Braxton

Since you been gone
I been hangin’ around here lately
With my mind messed up
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
Didn’t help me
I guess I’m all messed up now baby
Soon as I jumped into my ride
Those memories start to play
A song comes on the radio
And there U are baby once again

It’s just another sad love song
Rackin’ my brain like crazy
Guess I’m all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn’t let go
Or shake me
And it’s all because of you

Since you been gone
I keep thinkin’ about you baby
Gets me all choked up
This heart of mine keeps
Dreamin’ of you and it’s crazy
You’d think I’d had enough
As soon as I get you out my head
I’m in your car again
Just one request from the radio
I’m back in love sugar once again

It’s just another sad love song
Rackin’ my brain like crazy
Guess I’m all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn’t let go
Or shake me
And it’s all because of you

Here comes the strings
Then somebody sings
Only takes a beat
And then it starts killin’ me darlin’
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
From that radio
It’s just
Another
Lonely
Love Song

by Christina Aguilera
from the album Stripped

Young girl, don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it’s all right
Your tears will dry, you’ll soon be free to fly

When you’re safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing’s harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don’t hide
You’ll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you’re gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It’s so hard to stand your ground when you’re so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you’re lost outside look inside to your soul

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Yeah…
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you’re learning
You’ll find all you’ll ever need to know

You’ll make it
You’ll make it
Just don’t go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I’m talking to you

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall

by Nirvana
from the album Incesticide

What’s the season of love if you can’t have everything
what’s the reason of love if you can lose everything
what’s the meaning of love, it’s a crime if anything
what’s the meaning of love, it’s grand, it’s grand

How can a culture can forget it’s plan of yesterday
and you swear it’s not a trend
does it matter anyways
barely heat the top of friend like it moves everyday
you could shit upon the stairs
you’ll be friends
you’ll be friends
you’ll be friends
you’ll be friends

All the kids have laid it out
and it’s back is probably
still it’s subtle in the tape
keep a form on equally
now you know it’s just the fact
where the world is nowadays
and the day is what we learn
does it matter anyways

by Meat Loaf
from the album Bat Out Of Hell

I was nothing but a lonely boy
Looking out for something new
And you were nothing but a lonely girl
But you were something
Something like a dream come true.

I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
When I played my guitar
I made the canyons rock, but
Every Saturday Night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go

In the middle of a steamy night
I’m tossing in my sleep
And in the middle of a red-eyed dream

I see you coming
Coming on to give it to me

I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I’m the leader of the pack, but
Every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go

Oh baby I’m a hunter in the dark of the forest
I’ve been stalking you and tracking you down
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
You and me ’round about midnight
You and me ’round about midnight
Someone’s got to draw first
Draw first
Someone’s got to draw first blood
Someone’s got to draw first blood
Ooh I got to draw first blood
Ooh I got to draw first blood
I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I’m the leader of the pack, but
Every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it’s like
All revved up with no place to go

I was nothing but a lonely all-American boy
Looking out for something new
And you were nothing but a all-American lonely girl
But you were something like a dream come true.
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
And when I played my guitar
I made the canyons rock, but
But every Saturday Night
I felt the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go

by Supremes
from the album Where Did Our Love Go

(Ooh-ooh-oooooooh, ooh-ooh-oooooooh
Ooh-ooh-oooooooh, ooh-ooh-oooooooh)

One night, you held me tight
And whispered in my ear
All night sweet words (sweet words)
I never heard (unheard)
And I believed every word

Next day, you came my way (came my way)
Without a word to say,
You passed me by (me by)
You didn’t bat an eye (an eye)
My darling, won’t you tell me why?
You’re acting strange toward me (strange)
Why have you changed toward me (changed)

Are you just a breathtaking,
First-sight soul-shaking,
One-night love-making,
Next-day heartbreaking guy?

(Ooh-ooh-oooooooh, ooh-ooh-oooooooh
Ooh-ooh-oooooooh, ooh-ooh-oooooooh)

That night, your love was true (love was true)
The next day, we were through
Your love went on (went on)
And you were moving on (move on)
And I was left to cry alone
What have I done to you? (done)
Was it just fun to you? (fun)

Are you just a breathtaking,
First-sight soul-shaking,
One-night love-making,
Next-day heartbreaking guy?

(Ooh-ooh-oooooooh, ooh-ooh-oooooooh)
Breathtaking, soul-shaking, love-making, heartbreaking guy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(fade out)

by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine
from the album Cuts Both Ways

I try hard to resist you
Pretend that you’re not there
I haven’t even kissed you
But don’t think that I won’t dare
‘Cause you get to me baby
Like no one ever could
Why don’t you come and save me
Don’t tease me like you do
No No No No
Ay ay I can’t do without you
AY aY I can’t do without you
No matter what they tell me
There’s nothin’ like true love
But if there’s no happy ending
At least you loved then lost
That’s how I feel about you
And though it may take some time
I love everything about you
And I’ve got to make you mine
No No No No
Ay ay I can’t do without you
AY aY I can’t do without you
And though you set me up then
Turn me down
No matter what you say or do
Your eyes are telling me you want me too
I’m looking right through you
And what I see is heaven
Just waiting there for me
Baby this was meant to happen
Or I’ll never be set free
No No No No
Ay ay I can’t do without you
AY aY I can’t do without you

by Brand Nubian
from the album In God We Trust

[both] It ain’t no mystery .. (4X)

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

[Lord Jamar]
Well can you tell me where to find that Mystery God
I don’t see him, so you know the shit is kinda hard
I searched and searched, but still there’s no sign
It’s gotta be a trick for the deaf dumb and blind
Now would you set up home, and wait for a Mystery God
to bring Food, Clothing, and Shelter?
Emphatically no!
Mathematically that just don’t go
See me and my people been lost for over 400 years
and done tried this Mystery God
And all we got was hard times
Hunger and nakedness, from the snake that hissed
Beaten and killed by the ones
who say, "Look to the sky for your piece of the pie"
And didn’t want to tell you that God’s within self
Bloodsuckers of the poor wanna keep your wealth
Keep you a slave, so you don’t misbehave
You never know the truth til you’re dead in your grave
That’s when you wanna come back, but there ain’t no haps
Traps, caught you like a good strong buck, now you’re fucked!
But my Third Eye helps me see
that the Black Man’s God and yo it ain’t no mystery

[both] It ain’t no mystery .. (2X)

[Sadat X]
Who is the Mystery God, have you seen him?
You can keep searchin for a trillion years
Keep spreadin dates but he never appears
Crazy delusions of a big white man
Sittin on the throne, magic wand in his hand..
"You go to heaven! Dude, you go to hell!"
Churches think this mystery seems to sell
Join the 10%, duty to sell the eighty-five
You got part of your salary when this old God arrives
I’ll be gone, jetti, I nix comedy spook
John ? is foul, but he still know the truth
Organized crime, drop you off in America
Land of the brave, watch the man from the cave
Used to kneel to the cross for the war with the rappers
Used to think it great, to rest ? in plates
Used to pray on my knees to the Mystery for G’s
But instead of gettin G’s all I got was free cheese
and bad advice, a tie around my neck
Shoot on my collar, to cut off my breath
But now all that’s over, reality rules
Deal strictly with the gospel of the ? schools
Preacher preacher you could never be my teacher
Dealin lies and deceit for some brothers from the street
Know that the Black Man is God (the Black Man’s God)
There is no mystery

[both] It ain’t no mystery .. (2X)

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

[Lord Jamar]
First soul, black like coal
The Original One, with the power of the sun
Allah’s God, always has been always will be
Never could be, a fuckin mystery
But you pray for Jehovah to come
That’ll be the day when you leave the slum
Until that time, you just keep eatin swine
Drinkin cheap wine on the welfare line

[Sadat X]
Who’s the clown, that didn’t paint Jesus brown?
Everybody knows the man was original
When the jam is over I’ma go and take my vegetable
check buy a tech let loose in the Vatican
Courts writin lies, record company is mad again
These Asiatics is racist
Because I love the black faces
So put your bible in the attic cause I didn’t come for static
The True and Living G-O-D
It ain’t no mystery

[both] It ain’t no mystery .. (2X)

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that’s who!" (3X)
"Hoo that’s the man!" [both] It ain’t no mystery

by Wu-Tang Clan
from the album Wu-Tang Forever (Disc One)

[Inspectah Deck]
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain’t make it

Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that’s in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can’t let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
It’s hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
their life and times, deadly like the virus design
but too, minute to dilute, the scientist mind

You can’t party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[Masta Killa]
A voice cries from the wilderness of the North
A representation of the families that lost one
all victims of incarceration
Or other divisions of the family structure
Youths are injected with serums that leads
to skin irritations, babies being born with
disfigurations, experimentations
On their faces there bear world relations
of mothers that carry the pain
of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
Fifth brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
are hidden by the passing trains
This can’t be little Hussein, his uncle cried
As he drops to his nephew’s side, holding his cane
Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this
bitter sickness, and left us to witness

[U-God]
Yeah, yo
Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise
Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden game
The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison
While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what’s revealing
It’s a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen
Zero process, progress, become the hunted
America’s most wanted, good life flaunted, want it
Some love the speed, some satisfy a need
Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed
The strong must feed, someone die, someone bleed
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife
The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes
Take in my energy, breath and know the rest
Cause the good die young and the hard die best

You can’t party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[RZA]
Y’all bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants
while your man’s on tour, your spending up his advances
Your friends ain’t shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick
The whole projects is trapped in stench
You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs
Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out
Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking
New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, Medicaid
Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays
Inside my lab, I’m going mad
Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag
The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the Bloods
The whites for the cops, and the stars come from the clubs
or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by the dawn
Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe

[Method Man]
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home
Mama say, take your time young man and build your own
Don’t wind up like your old dad
Still searching for them glory days he never had
So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings
The cash rule everything now, we going down
These babies looking up to us, it’s up to us
The Million Man March MC’s, get on the bus
But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate
Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate
No longer, brothers, we unstable
Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other

You can’t party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[2Pac]
You probably crooked as the last trick; want it light
but how I got my ass caught up with this bad bitch
Thinkin I had her but she had me in the long run
It’s just my luck I’m stuck with fuckin with the wrong one, uh!
Wise decisions, based on lies we livin
Scandalous times, this game’s like my religion
You could be rollin with a thug
Instead you with this weak scrub, lookin for some love
In every club, I see you starin like you want it
Well baby if you got it better flaunt it
Let the liquor help you get up on it
I’m still tipsy from last night
Bumpin these walls as I pause, addicted to the fast life
I try to holla but you tell me you taken
Sayin you ain’t impressed, with the money I’m makin
Guess it’s true what they tellin me
Fresh out of jail, life’s Hell for a black, celebrity
So that’s the reason why I call, and maybe you widdit
Fantansies of us sweatin, can I hit it? (Hahaha)
Addicted to the things you do, but still true
What I’m sayin Boo, is this is all about you

[Nate Dogg]
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o

No matter where I go, I see the same hoe
(Yeah nigga, ha ha ha ha!)
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe

[2Pac]
I make a promise if you go with me, just let me know
I’ll have you hollerin my name out before I leave
Nobody loves me I’m a thug nigga; I only hung out
with the criminals and the drug dealers, I love niggaz
cause we comin from the same place
Witness me holla at a hoochie, see how quick, the game takes
How can I tell her I’m a playa, and I don’t even care
Creep though, weed smoke’s into the air
Everywhere I go, it’s all about the groupie hoes
waitin for niggaz at the end, of every show
I just seen you in my friend’s, video
Could never put a bitch before my friends, so here we go
Follow the leader and peep the drama that I’m goin through..
It’s all about you.. hahaha, yeah nigga!
It’s all about you!

[Nate Dogg]
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe

[Outlawz]
Is you sick from the dick, or is it the flu?
It ain’t about you or your bitch ass crew
Every other city we go and every video
Explain to a nigga why I see the same shitty hoe
You think it’s all about you? Well Boo
I gets Down like Dru and my nasty new niggaz, too

You couldn’t hold me back, it’d take a fatter track
A lyrical attack, perhaps, it was a visual bluff
When I started to snaps all your rode ‘em swoll
Straight in control, flows’ll fold, while hoes cold stroll
Hold the set, I told Dramacy’ go in next
Golddiggin, cold diggin a gold Rolex

I slide in easily, try a grizzly
Sluts know the cuts, I came to fuck, try skeezin me
Runnin up in ya just like Bruce Jenner when I bend ya
At the most, I fucked a bitch from the West Coast to West Virginia

[Nate Dogg]
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
(It’s all about you)
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe
Every other city we go, every other vi-de-o
No matter where I go, I see the same hoe

[Snoop Doggy Dogg *speaking over last two lines*]
I’m tellin ya, it’s the same ol’ shit

And then yaknahmsayin what make that even mo’ fucked up
