:: Afro ( Freestyle Skit)
Excuse us ladies and gentleman
One, two
You need to pick your afro daddy
Because it's flat on one side
You need to pick your afro daddy
Because it's flat on one side
What are you waiting on
Well if you don't pick your afro
You gonna have one side high, ha, ha
Well, you said you was gonna take me to see Wu-Tang baby
So I braided my hair, well, yes you did
You said you was gonna take me to see Wu-Tang baby
So I braided my hair, yes I did, cornroll and everything baby
Well, you changed your mind and said we wasn't going
But my momma saw you there
Yes she did, check this out, one time
Well I be blowing up your pager daddy
But you never called me back
Well I be putting in 9-1-1 baby
But you never called me back, no, no
See if you don't know how to use that pager daddy
I'm gonna take that hoe back, yes I will
:: Apple Tree
I'd like to dedicate this to all the children
I have some food in my bag for you
Not the edible food, the food you eat, no
Perhaps some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite
It has infinitely fell on me, so um...
It was a stormy night, you know the kind where the lightnin' strike
And I was hangin' out with some my yatzhee friends
ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee
The night was long, the night went on, people coolin' out until the
break of dawn
Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick
from my
apple tree [x3]
And if you don't want to be down, you just don't want to be down
I have a hoe
And I take it everywhere I go
Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know
On and on, and on and on my (?) keep's movin' like a rollin' stone
I can't control the soul flowin' in me
ooh wee ooh wee
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
my apple tree x3
And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be
down
Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my
I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin' me
Cause I can't please you, and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
my apple tree
And if you don't want to be down with me, dum dum diddy
And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
my apple tree
And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
You just don't want to be down,
You just don't want to be down

:: Certainly
who gave u permission to rearrange me
certainly not me
who told you that it was alright to love me
certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna fix me

:: Drama
The world is so dramatic.....
I can't believe
that we're still livin'
oh in this crazy crazy world
that I'm still livin'
with all the problems of the day
how can we go on
so tired of hearing people say how can we go on
fantasy people
make believe people
how can you go on
but you're still livin'
race relations, segregation, no occupation
world inflation, demonstration, miseducation
no celebration to celebrate your lives
listen people listen
lift up your hearts to GOD
lift up your soul
teach your children Wisdom
Reality today... so they can live tomorrow
I can't believe
that we're still livin'
oh in this crazy crazy world
that I'm still livin'
with all the problems of the day
how can we go on
so tired of hearing people say
how can I go on
fantasy people
make believe people
how can you go on
but you're still livin'
listen people listen
lift up your hearts to GOD
teach your children Wisdom
Reality today...

You can see straight through me
Never thought you'd do me
The way you do
How can anyone be so cruel
When you know I love you, yes I do
Misunderstood
Turned your back on me and left me lonely
I wish I could
Open up my heart so you can know me
How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You have me calling out your name
What is this strange thing inside me
How can anyone be such a fool
When you know you love me, yes you do, yes you do
When I first met you
I could hardly see
But now I'm blind, for real
I wish you knew how to rescue me
From this misery
How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
How can we make love when you don't love me?
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
You don't show no love
No no
You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
You make me feel like we can make love
But I know too much, much too much
Baby you
:: Stay
Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That I'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What I'm doing's got to pay
Someway, somehow
My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
It fits, but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life alright
The good Lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay (won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (don't you go, no no)
Stay, stay (oh no no)
Stay, stay (stay baby baby please stay)
Stay, stay (right here, right here, right here)
Stay, stay (I want you to stay right here)
Stay, stay (we can stay here, together, together yeah)
Stay, stay (don't listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)
I'm gettin' tired of your shit
You don't never buy me nothin'
See everytime you come around
You got to bring Jim,James,Paul,and Tyrone
See why can't we be by ourselves sometimes
See I've been havin' this on my mind for a long time
I just want it to be,you and me
Like it used to be,baby
But 'cha don't know how to act
So matter fact
I think you'd better call Tyrone
(Call him)
And tell him come on help you get your shit
(Come on,Come on,Come on)
You need to call Tyrone
(Call him)
And tell him,I said come on
Now every time I ask you for a little cash
You say no but turn right around and ask me for some ass
Oh!Whoa!
Now hold up,listen partner I ain't no cheap thrill
Cause Miss Badu's always comin' for real
You now the deal,nigga
Everytime we go somewhere,I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way and your homeboy's way
And sometimes your cousin's way
They don't never have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
Trina hang around with stars
Like Badu Ima tell you the truth
Show the oooh
Or get the boot
I think you'd better call Tyrone
(Call him)
And tell him come on help you get your shit
(Come on,Come on,Come on)
You need to call Tyrone
(Call him)
Hold on....
But you can't use my phone
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Help Me
Ye Yo,Ye Yo
Ye Yo,Ye Yo
Sometimes
Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel all by myself up here
Thats when, I take a minute
To reavalue things
All of the things I think are special yeah-hah
Ooo like
When you wake up in the morning
And you see the morning sun
And then you need to know the world is on your side
Who do you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Then the evening comes to greet you
You need, you need someone to hold you close
And then you feel the need to rest your ache in mine
Who can you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Well see the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye
Your Ye Ye
I said the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
if you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye

Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)
I know just how strong (every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie
Repeat 1 (1 time)
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I want to stay around

What you gon do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays
What you gon do when they come for you
But I can't stand life without you
See me and baby got this situation
See brother got this comlex ocupation
And it ain't that he don't have education
Cause I was right there at his graduation
Now I ain't sayin that this life don't work
But it's me and baby that he hurts
Because I tell him right he thinks I'm wrong
But I love him strong
He gave me the life that I came to live
He gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure's on me but the seed has grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He bacame the sun I became the moon
Precious gift that we both recieved
Or could this be make believe
What you gon do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
What you gon do when they come for you
He gave me the life that I came to live
Don't you worry
God gon see us through yeah
Can't stop the revolution
But we paid though
