Real Lyrics to Great Songs

Maxi Jazz:
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now i recognise
what my father said before he dies
vocalise things I’ve left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
Im coming home to my family
Where i can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestory
Givinme continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people’s hips sway
lip service I pay but im nervous
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I light lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who i happen to be
and if I dont see that Im strong then I wont be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture

Robbie:
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water

Maxi Jazz:
for my culture

Robbie:
water to air
youre on your feet again
your feet again.
Hello Dad, remember me?
Im the man you thought Id never be.
Im the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad Id been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, thats right my names Bob
Im the one who landed the popstars job
Im the one who you told : look, dont touch?
and the kid who wouldn’t amount to much.
I believe in the senses out of so

Yo we was talking earlier and I was telling you talking bout life
I feel like life is like braided hair
Its sorta like twist you know
Bout braided hair like twist
You know three strands twist together
Ultimately you get to where you wanna get to

From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors
The naked roads and the fields where the pain festered
And I wonder where the hold came from
In the deeps of my heart make me yearn for the drum
It’s the same place where the cross is burned
The same place where the loss was earned
It’s the place where the floss was yearned
Gold teeth and bling ice on the ring baby sure

We’ve all got things that are hanging about
Things that make us cool,
Things that make us whack,
Things that make us mad
Things we wish we never had done
But they’re just the things that make us real
Not the maps to guide where we go from here
The road twists and braids our hair
Until we all get there

I like that I don’t know some mysteries
Ancient things and beginnings
Excited about the day when I don’t have to hear all the theories
My scalp needs some grease
It’s the same place where the crosses burned
The same place where the loss was earned
The only way we all can learn
Is if we have these braids with the twist and turns so

Walking in the race of life
Looking for my own pace
Not always wanting to but I have to
Sometimes feeling like I’ve bitten off much more than I could chew
But the wind goes though my hair
Lifts me up with ease not a crease
Hair full of grease no weave embracing me
It’s you I see
I am you and you are me I see yeah
I am you and you are me I see

We might survive as brothers ye

and we go!

When I woke up on the sunset when it really should be dawn,
I thought I had no brains…when I really had no brawn.
Took it from the bottom, I should take it from the top,
I had another thrill, had another thrill when I thought I had my lot

Well I don’t know what I do because I do as I know,
I gotta show for what I’ve got or I cannot find home. Whhhoooooaaaaoooohhh

(Ya gotta) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deeeeeeeeeeeeal…

I rolled a thought around my eyes, it should be in my head,
Got buried in Nevada…when I wasnt even dead.
All around me were the adults asking kids for cash,
When I saw a green police car, I thought I’d make a dash.

Well I don’t know what I do because I do as I know,
I gotta show for what I’ve got or I cannot find home. Whhhoooooaaaaoooohhh

(Ya gotta) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deeeeeeeeeeeeal…with it.

Ya Deal with it, woahoohhoohh,
Ya Deal with it, woahoohhoohh,
Ya Deal with it, woahooaooaooohooooh,
Ya gotta Deal with it, Deal, with it.

(Musical Interlude)

Take it to the bridge………Let de’ladies rock!

(Musical Interlude)

When I woke up on the sunset when it really should be dawn,
I thought I had no brains…when I really had no brawn.
Took it from the bottom, I should take it from the top,
And I had another thrill, had another thrill, had another thrrrrriiiiiilllll!

Well I don’t know what I do because I do as I know,
I gotta show for what I’ve got or I cannot find home. Whhhoooooaaaaoooohhh

(Ya gotta) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it.
(Oh won’t ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deal with it.
Deal with it, Deal with it.
(Ya) Deal with it, Deeeeeeeeeal with it

So tell me why you’re here,
Do you still hold me dear?
When you’re the one that walked away from me but that’s okay,
Did you think all this through?
I thought about it too,
But I can’t waste my life away on love that isn’t true.

Are you still holding on?
When I did I was wrong,
To think you’d ever take another chance of losing me.
So now where do we stand?
You say that I’m your man,
But you won’t tell me everything,
And I don’t think you can.

I never thought I was anything,
But you showed me I’m wrong,
For that I’ll thank you always and always.

Memories of yesterday,
All the things I couldn’t say,
To make you understand how I feel now,
And time is moving way too fast to sit and contemplate the past again,
But I’ll thank you always!
GO

I never thought I was anything,
But you showed me I’m wrong,
For that I’ll thank you always and always.
Always, and I’ll thank you always.
Always, and I’ll thank you always.

What is this?
Numbers in your pocket
I remember when you
Used to throw those things away
Why do you wanna keep in touch now?
Who gave you a reason?
To act so shady

Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Ooh, that’s how much I care for you
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that ain’t cool
Yes I don’t understand baby yeah

1 – Baby it’s a shame we gotta go through this
We can’t even talk
Girl we don’t even kiss
I never would’ve thought
We’d be breaking up like this
But it’s over now
It’s over now

You think that I don’t know what’s going on
Cause you’re always home alone
And I’m always out of town
You need to stop trying to play me
Cause you can’t even fade me
I know you’re messing around baby

Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
That’s how much I care for you baby
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that ain’t cool
Oh I don’t understand baby

Repeat 1 (2x)

Baby it’s a shame
A shame that we go through
The things that we go through
When you’re in love with me
And I’m in love with you
I think that we should talk about our problems
Instead of running away
Oh baby it’s a shame
We couldn’t work it out
Forgot what love was all about
And the feelings we had from the start
My heart will always be with you, oh
Girl it’s over

Repeat 1 till end
