One day, I was tryin to be myself
The same day this thug say, "You gotta come hard"
Nigga, times is hard, I’m tryin hard to make it
It ain’t hard to tell, it’s hard for me to fake it
Plus, it’s hard to be me, it’s hard to stop drinkin
I guess it’s hard for you hard niggaz to start thinkin
Pussy MC’s stinkin so I can’t get hard
Some, become MC’s cause it’s hard to get a job
Hard for you to trust people, you don’t trust in God
Even harder to be the Gods we created to be
This Western way of life ain’t native to me
Put one nigga in your Pulp Fiction that related to me
I hate it that we, the only race that call our women hoes
Niggaz, be too hard to say "ho" at the shows
I rose… like a florist to bring the flavor like a Taurus
Might not have the murderous verse, but I stay hard to the chorus
Took this girl to work, she say I ain’t have a real job
Like that dick you had last night, baby, I work real hard
Simple motherfuckers tellin me hard is criminal
Niggaz you thought was hard, you pourin out your liquor for
Years ago, I thought I was hard, in high school fightin
Now, I’m the hardest man working in show business
Handle your business or shut the fuck up
(Dug Infinite) It’s just one two many niggaz got cars and no land
(Common) One two many niggaz with cash and no plan
(Dug Infinite) One two many niggaz that’s tryin to MC
(Common) That’s one two many niggaz comin up to me
(both) That’s one two many niggaz
Just one two many niggaz (2X)
(both) That’s one two many niggaz
Just one two many niggaz
(Chuck D) "One, two"
Forever, I ain’t gon’ be rappin
Shit’ll happen to me, I gotta let niggaz know
This mark asked me do I know his cousin Jimbo
Nigga, I don’t even know myself
You want me to get you in
Jack, I’m trying to get through the do’ myself
Opportunity knocked, but he ain’t call ‘fore he came
Yeah, I got a name, but only twenty dollars to it
Next album you gon’ blow, up my ass, you done blew it before
Being in my video, what’s that gonna do for your life?
Get you some pussy? You should be gettin rump off GP
Quit that you look like you say I seen you on TV
I be readin niggaz but readin be makin me sleepy (Hey!)
So strong am I, A Hundred Styles and Runnin
Niggaz stuck on one and them-a ran by
Claimin they fly but they stand-by
I come truer than a dream, and youse a damn lie
With that anti-rap, complainin about this and about that
Sounding bitch like, that ain’t gonna make a nigga get right
I’m number one
(Dug Infinite) One two many niggaz tryin to tell me bout they theory
(Common) One two many niggaz that ain’t tryin to hear me
(Dug Infinite) One two many niggaz doin shows that don’t happen
(Common) One two many niggaz life depend on rappin
(both) That’s one two many niggaz
Just one two many niggaz (2X)
(both) That’s one two many niggaz
Just one two many niggaz
(Chuck D) "One, two"
(Dug Infinite) One two many niggaz can’t find they niche
(Common) One two many niggaz wanna be my bitch *echoed*
Nigga, one two many niggaz (repeat to fade)

from the album Hard Candy
She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line
I could have been anyone she’d seen
She waits another week to fall apart
She couldn’t make another day
I wish it was anyone but me
I could have been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle up to my hands
Making me feel so incredible
She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
Where she could keep everything from me
I could have been anyone you see
She’s nothing but porcelain under-neath her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
Little shiver shaking me everyday
But I could get this same thing anywhere
So if she goes away
well it’s alright and I’m ok
hey, she said come back again tonight
I said I might I might I might
She said well that’s alright
If it’s alright, it’s alright with you
If it’s alright if it’s alright with me
I waited for an hour last Friday night
She never came around
She took almost everything from me
I’m going through my closets
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday
She could give anyone but me
I wish it was anyone but me
Nothing but pins and ashes under my skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
If I make you cry please tell me why
I can try again if you ask me to try
American girls are feathers and cream
Coming to bed so edible
American girls oh
American girls 2X
oh 4X
American girls oh
American girls 2X
oh 4X
You make me cry 5X
Hey Miss American girls

from the album It’s A Man’s World
Well I heard enough
And I’ve seen enough
And I now now enough to know
I know a good thing when I see it
And it’s a bad thing to let go
Well I’ve been around
I’ve been up and down
Until I bailed out of control
With your world all in motion
Gonna put a ball
And chain on your soul
CHORUS:
All those angels running
Picking up the pieces
Putting back together hearts
Broke long ago
I know a good thing when I see it
And it’s a bad thing to let go
We’ll always be lovers
With borders of there own
And you may charge across
In a golden chariot
But you will never be at home
‘Cause I had dreams
Like distant thunder
I had hope like a prayer unheard
This nothing less than perfect
In a less than perfect world
Chorus x 2

Then I have no doubt
That love still exists)

In the Spirit of God.
In the Spirit of the Ancestors.
In the Spirit of the Black Panthers.
In the Spirit of Assata Shakur.
We make this movement towards freedom
for all those who have been oppressed, and all those in the struggle.
Yeah. yo, check it-
There were lights and sirens, gunshots firin
Cover your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot before she answered
One Panther lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryna hold on
to life. She thought she’d live with no arm
that’s what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every word she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind raced till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she’s next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her: that’s where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was buildin as they tried to destroy her
If it wasn’t for this german nurse they woulda served her worse
I read this sister’s story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it, y’all.
(Cee-lo vocals)
I’m thinkin’ of Assata, yes.
Listen to my Love, Assata, yes.
Your Power and Pride is beautiful.
May God bless your Soul.

It seemed like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies cracklin, I see ‘em when they takin her
Though she kinda knew,
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middlesex Prison about six inna morning
Uneasy as they pushed her to the second floor in
a cell, one cot, no window, facing hell.
Put in the basement of a prison wit all males
And the smell of misery, seatless toilets and centipedes
She’d exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two years inna hole. Her soul grew weak
Away from people so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered frredom is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she’s lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she’s bleed
Out of this situation a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to mother the Revolution
And lactated to attack hate
Cause federal and state was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places that didn’t exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free, so dig it, people-
(Cee-Lo)
I’m thinkin’ of Assata, yeah.
Listen to my Love, Assata, yeah.
Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful…
May God bless your Soul.
Oooh.

Yo
From North Carolina her grandmother would bring
news that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they needed them to mean
What made them real was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always came true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna shot the gun
It’s time for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mother’s side
Time for this Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the pain
How she broke out of prison I could never explain
And even to this day they try to get to her
but she’s free with political asylum in Cuba.
(Cee-Lo vocals)
I’m thinkin’ of Assata, yeah.
Listen to my Love, Assata, yeah.
We’re molded from the same mud, Assata.
We share the same Blood, Assata, yeah.
Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful…
May God bless your Soul.
Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful…
May God bless your Soul.
Oooh.
(Assata)
Freedom! You askin me about freedom. Askin me about freedom?
I’ll be honest with you. I know a whole more about what freedom isn’t
than about what it is, cause I’ve never been free.
I can only share my vision with you of the future, about what freedom is.
Uhh, the way I see it, freedom is– is the right to grow, is the right to
blossom.
Freedom is -is the right to be yourself, to be who you are,
to be who you wanna be, to do what you wanna do. (fade out)

from the album Born To Do It
On my way to see my friends
who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)
As I walked through the subway
it must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it’d cost her her name
a six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No
Didn’t she mind? I don’t think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn’t wait
Cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? She said she’d love to
rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
said we’d start with a bottle of moet for two
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
[Verse 2]
Nine was the time
cos I’ll be getting mine
and she was looking fine
Smooth talker
she told me
She’d love to unfold me all night long
Ooh I loved the way she kicked it
from the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the
way she
kicked it)
And I oh oh I yeah
hope that she’d care
cos I’m a man who’ll always be there
Ooh yeah
I’m not a man to play around baby
Ooh yeah
cos a one night stand isn’t really fair
From the first impression girl hmm you don’t seem to be like that
Cos there’s no need to chat for there’ll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone
all you gotta do
is just call me call me
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
[Bridge]
(Break it down, uh break it down)
Since I met this special lady
ooh yeah
I can’t get her of my mind
She’s one of a kind
And I ain’t about to deny it
It’s a special kind thing
with you-oh…….
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

15 will get ya 20
16 will get ya 10
Don’t think it can’t happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends
18 fresh out of school
Doin’ the right thing playing by the rues but
One day she caught his eye 36-24-with
A skirt size 5. He stepped to and
Asked her name not even thinking to
Ask her age she so fine she had
To be grown had he knew then what
He knows now.
She was only 16 with tha body
Of a 20 year old beauty queen, man oh man how
Could this be so damn fly but only16
15 get ya 20, 16 get you 10 don’t
Think it can’t happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends
[repeat]
Let me tell you about my friend Gene
1997 homecoming queen working hard
On her degree but one hot day she was
Out at the Green and there he was about
5′9 chocolate as cocoa in the middle of
July so fine.he had tha lips of a vintage model if
She knew then what she knows now.
He was only 16 with the body of a god and
A face of a king man oh man how could this be
So damn fly but only 16

from the album All The Way… A Decade Of Song
duet with Frank Sinatra
When somebody loves you
It’s no good unless he loves you – all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you – all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That’s how it’s got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That’s how deep it goes – if its real
When somebody needs you
It’s no good unless he needs you – all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years – come what way
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you’ll let me love you
It’s for sure I’m gonna love you – all the way, all the way

Goodbye to the summer
Sold down the river
Unhappy ever after
Well did you ever?
Did you ever reach for the glued-down penny?
Same old joke and it’s not funny
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember
You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue for better or worse
What goes around comes around
Again again again
This heart pulled apart
Hydra fighting head to head
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old cheated by the new
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don’t remember

Now the way it went
Got me in this messed up predicament
Cause I ain’t know how to be monogamous
I was caught in the wrong just walkin’
Through the mall with this shorty on my arm
Now I played the fool
Sittin’ in the sneaker store buying shoes
My girl’s best friend came strollin’ through
I tried to turn away but I moved too late
Cause she already saw my face
I was hoping she didn’t really get a good look at me
She walked out the store so casually
I thought that I was fine
Till she called me later on
With my girl on the line.
Now I tried to lie
Say that it must have been some other guy
You know your friend’s jealous of you and I
Cause she ain’t got a man
So she’s all in your business
Shut up and let me finish girl
You crushin’ me
Acting like you ain’t got no trust in me.
I thought you said that you was in love with me
Well you act like you know and hang up the phone,
Tell your girl to leave us alone
But she ain’t quit
The more I tried to lie, the angrier she’d get
Told me it was over with us, that’s it
Word to all men
If you goin’ be creepin’, look out for her friend
Now ladies know how to stick together, together
No matter what you say you ain’t goin’ win
Now brothas better have they stuff together
Cause she’s always goin’ believe her friend.
She’s always goin’ believe her friend.
