::The World's Greatest 

Yeah, uh, uh
Yeah
It's the world's greatest
It's the world's greatest
C'mon, yeah
The world's greatest

I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind sweepin' the country
I am a river down in the valley, oh
I am a vision and I can see clearly

If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

(The world's greatest, yo)
(The world's greatest ever)

I am a giant, I am an eagle, oh
I am a lion, down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band, I am the people, oh
I am a helping hand, I am a hero

If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

In the ring of life I'll reign love
And the world will notice a king
When all is darkest, I'll shine a light
And use a success you'll find in me

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

1 - It's the greatest
Can you feel it
It's the greatest
Can you feel it

Repeat 1 while:
I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there
To pull me through, yeah
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through
Hey, uh, hey, hey, hey
It's the greatest
I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

::Did You Ever Think

Did you ever think that you would be this rich
Did you ever think that you would have these hits
Did you ever think that you would be the don
Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn
Did you ever think that you would be this paid
Were there times where your ass was real afraid
Did you ever think that you would sell out tours
Have a show with fifty million viewers

I used to think about how I was gonna make it
Struggling day to day trying to get this paper
Hoping the day would come when things would go my way
And now I'm living lavish and all I do is think and say

Did you ever think that you would be this rich
Did you ever think that you would have these hits
Did you ever think that you would be the don
Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn
Did you ever think that you would be this paid
Were there times where your ass was real afraid
Did you ever think that you would sell out tours
Have a show with fifty million viewers

Now I've been around the world seen so many things
Partied in every club nothing but VIP
I never take for granted these luxuries I have 
Just try my best to answer all of these questions that I ask

I used to play the game and like the same ole same
Dreamin' bout city lights it was my only life
And now this world I chose as if I did not own
Now I can't go nowhere without you all wanting to know
Chorus

I used to dream about this life
Now I'm sitting on the first class flights VIP

::Reality

She didn’t have a house, a house up in the hills
I never heard her ask for some car with the chromed out wheels
But all she wanted was some love and affection
But all I did all the time was neglect
The fact that she was lonely, I used to be her homey
I used to talk about how I was gonna get us out of the hood
But as long as we’re together as a family, then it’s all good

Because any man can make a baby
But it takes a real man to be a father
Talking ‘bout a family, the kid, you and me
It’s not a fantasy, but it’s reality
You see love is wrong and love is right
But if love is strong then love is tight
Talking ‘bout a chemistry like a bride-to-be
It’s not a fantasy, but it’s reality

Be careful were the words the last time we had our talk
And your truth sound absurd so my pride just let you walk
When all the time knowing that I didn’t mean
To hollar out and call you bitch and tell you leave
I admit it, I was wrong but now it’s over come on home
I can’t take it here is where you belong
Even out the window looking for the mailman
I hope he’s got a letter says, I’m missing you, in the mail
And then I saw you with another, made it hard for me to breathe
But when I played the game for gives
I should’ve played the game for keeps


Now I wore the shoes that you talked about in your song
But it’s been a change I’ve got a new pair on, yes
Now every night and day I still await
At the lonely spot in the hills
And think about how you set the record straight
Any man can

::Up


 

 

::I Believe I Can Fly



I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it


Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothign to it


Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

::Ghetto Queen


Crucial conflict, come out and play-come on Crucial Conflict, Kelly and
Rockland, collabo


Funny faces is all I see, 
At my place you on top of me 
Playin strip poker, sippin Cristi'
I grip your shoulders, you squeeze the sheets
I'm admirin your heart shaped booty
Nothin in your oven, baby feed me, now
Who's is this (6x)
My ghetto queen

You're my ghetto queen
Right around the way from me
When we're in those ghetto trees
We be high just like them weeds

Might be ghetto but you queen to me that's how it's supposed to be
Do whatcha gotta do for me forever fulfill your fantasy
When you think of have your cream
Everything my team must do one thing
Your the meanest queen on the scene
Make a player a fiend and be havin dreams, for real, it's real as it seems
You bring the trees I'll bring the b's
Begin to freeze on to me, you can scream to please
Plus I'm ready now, take a stand, got me on Rockland
I can be your freaky man, you can climb and suck a 10
Want some ends? You outta here
No more funny face, put you in your place
Come be the dinner I'm a bring a plate

She's my ghetto girl in her own world, she's a queen
Queen of all things for that I mean she's Spring
Personality rings bells in my dreams
Night to dawn light, spread tight, let's swing
Grip it in motion, wet coastin', with a little bit of ridin' rough
Up and down we stroke strokin', puttin' things in her pockets is fat
But watch her stay cool, calm and collective, flexin, check it
Never was on that stressin'
'Cause she bring that hay for the day what a blessin'
Right around the way for me
This ghetto queen got up with a king, keep it clean and it essence


Where the players live
Have to deal with the macks like the traps in the concrete jungle
Life's a safari in the mornin', huntin
In effect your pulse beatin' like bongos
We be like this, gettin' high
Ghetto queen you look so delightin'
Heard your body callin', callin' me baby tellin' me to rodeo ride it
Don't fall off, hold on, get roll on, step aside, hugged her back
She swore she wouldn't to me, need your loyalty
Your makin' me wantin' to snap
I know your man is mad as hell
'Cause it to a player and I did it well
And I added one more for the road, to let 'em know
Kilo weigh heavy on the scale, mmm

Dedicated to my ghetto queens in jeans that think they're mean
I'll massage you with whip cream
I wanna spread your legs and said you were my lady
Down with me, clown with me, fall to the ground with me
Lovin' how you sound when we get 'em off
Carry on to the dawn, give a dog a bone ( lick 'em low)
Rodeo show, duckin', you buckin' in the back of a Cadillac
Tell me if you want it like that ( let's bang)
Got me tweakin', Mary Jane, it's a hay thang 
Me and you everday keep it high like flames ( your game)
What's my name? What's my name?
It's Wild style from the Chitown no shame
Me and my ghetto queen comin' up the main
Switchin' four lanes, to the airplane
Sky high we fly when we roll by
On the down low doin' my thang, man

Chorus

Crucial Conflict, Kelly and Rockland, collabo ( repeat)

::If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time

How did I ever let yo slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song someday
And now I'm sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

Chorus:
If I could Turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you would be mine
If I coule Turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you would be mine

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh Why oh Why should one have to go on suffering 
When everyday I plead come back to me

Chorus:

And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I di you wrong I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life a lone

Chorus:

I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands
There'll be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in ypur heart, I Love You
If I could trun back the hands
(If I could turn back) That would be my will
(If I could turn back) Darlin' I'm begging yto take me by the hands
If I could turn back the hands
I'm going down yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
If I could turn back the hands
(If I could turn back) If I could turn back the clock on the wall
(If I could turn back) Then I'd come to realize how much I Love you, 
Love You, Love You, Love You, Love You
If I could turn back the hands -20

But it's all good, watch me do this shit

[Cam'Rom]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, ay yo, from my town to Chitown

Voice cry hot sounds tied down cop twisters
Shop lifters with Benini schemes
Smoke greenie green candyman up in cabrini green
Some cats I know like to splurge on they wrists
But my man karate man cut the nerves out his fist
But yo, throw your hands up y'all it's just love in here
It ain't shit but a thug affair
I'm at the bar spendin' thug money
Cop so much huh, they say I love money carats like bugs bunny
So lets slide you got the right thong

To the BM, REM's are Muy bien
It's R. Kelly, killer Cam'
Baby girl, can you dig now
Next time we see him yo, we laying Mr. Biggs down

To all my players and my thugs
To all my honeys in the club
To all the hoods that show me love
We ride, we ride
(From Chitown to LA)
To all my ballers lockin' ice, getting a room for the night
Taking first class flights, we ride, we ride
(From Chitown to LA)

[Noreaga]
Yo, I used to be in Chitown and collect panties
When I make cabrini green you know I hit Sammy's
Thugged out yo, all my people givin' eye jammies
Now them shorties say I'm cute, when they can't stand me
R. Kelly yo, I'm right from the belly, you know the soul
Everything that we spit on is platinum gold
But now it's for the love, for all the players and the thugs
Yo, it's a party goin' on, meet me right at the club
We got some chickens in the living room getting it on
And they ain't leaving 'till six in the morning
Thugged out, my people gettin' head while we on and
Tear the club up every time we performin'
Gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place
Because this shorty right here, lookin' good in my face
Ay yo, it's so deep I told shorty just last week
Uh huh, it's like, you remind me of my jeep

Repeat 1

[Vegas Cats]
Only ballers be allowed up in here
Money makers got my thug niggas watchin' my rear for player haters
Eighteen and I'm livin' a dream, go figure
How a nigga that's younger than you, ice bigger
Don't sweat that, stick to rap nigga, try that
Call my nigga R. Kell if you need a hit, black
And when you get it, make it known baby, who did it
It'll make your fans hit the stores and go get it
Now, here come a bitter sweet note for the fellas
Left out the club with her friend, now she jealous
Mad cuz she can't ride in the LS
Yeah, she kinda mad but a baller could care less
While you sleep, sleep, sleep

Got your girl sayin' "Yo, who he?"
So let's ride to Rockland's party, uh huh

[Jay-Z]
Check, Ghetto pro' federal
Jay-Z shake the dice, let 'em go
Bet a load I tear down every show
Better know cheddar crowed like the front babe row
Says R., Jay y'all, all I need is four bars
I'm hotter than a lotta men
Switch up cars like Rodman's hair color, then hit your broad
I'm borderline too much for the mortal mind
Every time you ought to rewind, find there's more to find 
Now pop that cork, then pour the wine
Represent New York to Chitown, like what
Floss mine, like of course my, what
Never cross my family, can we all get along? Hell no
I'm tryin' to tell y'all who dat is that rule that biz
Not your baby daddy but Jay-Z, true that is
Better school that kid on who's shoes that is
Or who I be nigga, V.I.P Jigga

Repeat 1

That gives you time to freshen up, my baby
And if you want, just leave the door unlocked
I’ll be creepin’ in ‘bout 12 o’clock
So turn the telephones off, my baby
No interruptions while I’m driving you crazy
Girl, I want you to know tonight is yours
Start in the bed and end up on the floor
