No Turning Back

She was just 19 years old
When she left her home
The morning dessert sun was at her back
She knew right them
There would be no turning back
Leaving home was the best thought that she had
But know in a parking lot in Washington
She asked to herself what have I done
Earth mother bear and eagles was on the run
Two more nights till Colorado
Till the deal was done
And if flying back home
Was as easy as the run
She realized then there would be no turning back
Were will you take me?
What will we do?
Were will you take me?
What will we do?
The man drove by in a bright white Cadillac
She got in that ride and she never came back
She knows what she needs
She said it feels good to me
She knows what she needs
She said it feels good to me
Ain’t no turning back

Dreamin'

Everyone starts with the sweetest dreams
Living long life living beautiful scenes
Make a million dollars wearing gold and jewels
Drive a big black benz, of a Carribean cruise
Or maybe you dream that you just can’t lose
Or playing the blues is the path that you choose
Or perhaps you dream of going back to natures plan
And just live off the land and be a natural man
Or of a beautiful girl who’s holding your hand
Loving the one your with, and her beautiful tan
Like you’re holding a spliff
That’s laying in your hand
Or you dream of playing bands
From Electric Lady Land
Riffs just like Jimmy Hendrix

Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

“Stop daydreaming!”
That’s what my teacher used to say
While they kick a bunch of crap
That I forgot anyway
Education’s important to make a man complete
But everything I learned in school
I learned again on the street
Now my time is booked cause I’ve got the look
And when I walk on my path
You know I can’t be shook
Stay alert in this day you have to go for yours
The force conspires to help brothers
That help others open doors
Wars and battles, rage around us everyday
While the real troops keep our heads up while we play
This game of chance that they busy calling life
Can be quite a disappointing ride
You can’t blame the youth
And you can’t blame God
Now who you gonna blame
When the dog’s in the yard

Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

Wisdom askes “Are you ready for this”
Experience says “The kid can’t miss”
Professional advice got you thinking twice
Don’t roll the dice if you can’t pay the price
The omen says “Walk towards the light
First impulse is free and it’s always right”
Doubt suggest “What you think you can achive?
Your just a Philly kid from South 2 street”
Rappin” blues and playing guitar
Now I’m chillin’ skies the limit
I’m a rock and roll star
Making funky music hit records are exploding
The free wind is blowing
Higher than the liars melting in the fires
How high can you ride?
The greatest victory is our
When you believe in legend
Getting busy like the man
They call “school’s in session”
Addressing all you people
Like I know who you are
‘Cause streets are universal and the world is wide
But no matter what you’re running from
you just can’t hide
If you seek the truth, the truest kind you’ll find
So trace your tracks a facts a fact
Three aces one king and a one eyed Jack
You ain’t going nowhere until it’s time to leave
Your mind is just like a story and that I’m
Starting to read
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

Roaches

Rodeo Clowns

Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors
Turn on the light
Getting ready for the night
Nobody’s romantic
Cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music

Bright lights flashing
To cover up you lack of
Soul many people to many problems
So many reasons to buy another round
Drink it down
Just another night on the town
With the big man Money man
Better than the other man
He got the plan with the million dollars
Give a damn but
When nobody understands
He’ll become a smaller man
The bright lights keep flashing
Man the woman keep dancing

With the rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down

The disco ball spinning
All the music and the women
And the shots of tequila
Man they’ll say that they need ya
But what they really need
Is a little room to breathe
Tiny bopping disco queen
She barely understand her dreams
Of belly button rings
And other kinds of things
Symbolic of change
But the thing that is strange
Is that the change has occurred
And now she’s just a part
of the herd yeah, yeah, yeah
Man I thought that you heard yeah, yeah
The change has occurred yeah, yeah, yeah
She’s just a part of the herd yeah, yeah

Lights out shut down
Late night wet ground
You walk by look at him
But he can’t look at you
You might feel pity
Because he only feel the ground because
You understand moods
But he only knows let down
By the corner there’s another one
Reaching out a hand
Coming from a broken man
Well you try to live
But he’s done trying
Not dead but definitely dying

With the rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down

Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors
Turn on the light
Getting ready for the night
Nobody’s romantic
Cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music

Numbers

Soon you’ll know of the great joy we feel
In this day to be able to speak freely and talk eye to eye
We a small group of Americans

We feel that the time has come
For your nation to awaken to it’s true spatial import.

Four mourning doves searching in the park
Saying don’t be confused when the night is dark
Eleven white swans swimming in a black pond
Told me keep it real and you’ll find who’s fake.

Two cedar trees half submerged in the water
Don’t prophesize about sons and daughters
One new master of the form Tai Chi.

One pimp using songs as his hussy
Won’t be here next year to tell you bout nothing.

Two happy kids playing basketball
Till a war broke out and killed them all.

A bunch of ideas like fireflies
An eighteen-year-old girl with stars in her eyes.

We saw the gentle trickster on the highway tonight
Keep you eyes closed and your mouth open wide.

Chorus:

Though the roof may leak in may places
Shinning faces shining faces
may she sleep in peace
and wake up in my arms
Some day soon
Some day soon

Those that were numbered
Had a path to follow
Fly as swift as the swallow
Where no enemies can follow
The path that was laved for the riotous man
Don’t promote the fool
Claiming’ he’s the wisest man
As they slander our name in shame
When our aim is to do what comes natural
We’re hatchen like fireflies on a river
Feelin right from my toes, knees, kidneys to my liver
Clouds drop down the due
My friend what about you
Clouds drop down the due
My friend what about you

Chorus:

Though the roof may leak in may places
Shinning faces shining faces
May she sleep in peace
And wake up in my arms
Some day soon
Some day soon

Relax

Let’s all just relax
And get into this groove
The room’s starting to move
Now turn the red lights on
You know the kind that I like
Deep blues and reds
With purple highlights
But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

Fade out the parades
And the charades
Making music like love is made
And lovers wait patiently
And with joy
For the right moments
To explore in passion
Why everlasting love is everlasting

But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

There’s no need to argue
For better position
Realize the moment that you’re
In is magic
Stellar regions cry
Everything has it’s season
Everything happens for a reason
So who are we to worry at any rate
The plane that crashed
We missed cause we were running late
And if success eludes you
Then you must choose to do
What other people wouldn’t do

But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

So as cold night fades into darkness
Harken to the fire
Where you may find some peace
As many people pass
Some good and some bad
But this fire glows stronger yet
And burning light reminds us
To ever be reborn

The sun sets soon
Uprises the moon
The sun sets soon
Uprises the moon

Do It For Free

You keep taking and taxing
Faking and I can’t relaxing
When you push and fight
Pull and funk your way to the front
You think I’m on stage to pull a stunt
I’m amazed by your capacity
At winding me up
So that I can’t release you see
You see me back stage
And engage me in your rhythm
My head is swimming
This place is full of smoke and women
You told me that the music
Couldn’t be much phatter
I said I got a girlfriend
You said it didn’t matter
She started pressing up
And I was getting kind of heated
The pressure’s building up
And release is what I needed
She’s begging and pleading
Begging and pleading
I’m pressed against the wall
Like a piece of Graffiti’s
She needs me, she needs me
She-needs- me

Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me
Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me

Late last night I had this crazy vision
I was on stage on my musical mission
Aiming at love of a godly kind
Till loves light shone out
And nearly made me blind
Of heard of flying doves
Birds of a feather
I’ve heard of loving lace
I’ve heard of love leather
I heard of loving one night
And writing love letters
The way I love this girl
I could never forget her
Sometimes lovers wait
Sometimes I want to get her
Sometimes love is worse
Sometimes love is better
I’ve heard of love passing
And I’ve heard of love severed
The way I love this girl
I’m going to love her forever

Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me
Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me

I had a feeling of hunger
When I first meet your eyes
There’s no surprise
I can feel you over years
And many miles
Though separation occurred
It’s all part of life
Some people wait forever
Some never wait a night
You have to give it time babe
Please let love breath
You’re the one I desire
I’m the one that you need
Our love will be complete
Just like a seed that’s planted
The loving comes strong
I hope that you can stand it
I never planed that it would
Work out this way
So when the sun rises
Please don’ leave me babe
I could love you forever tonight

Honor And Harmony

No need to pull some weight around
But I ain’t gonna just sit here
Like a clown and just wait around
I’m taking what I’ve earned to be taking
And you know you only get stronger
When your heart is aching
But I’ve had enough of waiting around
For some red tape
I know it’s just a fake
I say it’s a big mistake
And we’re all human
So there’s no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We’ll surely be making it
With a little bit of honor and harmony
Com on!!!

What should we choose to be our tactics
In this age of computer taxes oh no
When in this new era to come
We shall be organized and not supervised
From the physical to the spiritual
All our works will be so critical
Our offense and metal will soar
Our ornamental will be so pure
And we won’t sweat the expense
In the new millennium
We are raising through the fog
Helping the healing God
The next awakening is you
And we’re all human
So there’s no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We’ll surely be making it
With a little honor and harmony…
Come on!

Friday Night (Hundred Dollar Bill)

I saw you at the bar
I was laughing with some friends
I saw you turn your head
I was checking you instead
I asked you if you would like to dance
I really wasn’t trying to get into your pants
Not to say that your not a beautiful young lady
But I drive a chevy Nova
And I thought you liked Mercedes
Soon enough though
We were allured
Bumping and grinding out on the dance floor
With the system so loud
The vibrations so pulsing
You whispered in my ear
But I couldn’t hear nothing
Steered me over in the corner
And kissed me on the neck
That’s when I decided ah what the heck
I put my hands on your hips
And I kissed you right back
You kissed me like a shark
That’s sniffing on a snack
And then you said “my boyfriend never kissed me like that”
I said “boyfriend” you didn’t say he was around
On this Friday Friday night
When I came and rocked your town

On this Friday night
When the feelings alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
With my arm around my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

The song was over
So we headed for a drink
And whatta you think
She gave a another guy a wink
Who came over for a kiss
And asked the girl “who’s this?”
She said “that’s G. love you know G. and Special Sauce?”
Then he said “I’m getting Louie kid you better get lost”
I asked the girl “who’s Louie?”
And she said “that’s my man”
Women women I just can’t understand
Then I says “I don’t want to hear about girl problems
And if you got a problem babydoll I can solve them”
But I feel you’re gonna get me in trouble
So c’mon lets leave this bar
And go out clubbing on the double
Girls putting me in a trance
All because she wants to dance
And getdown with the man
Who brought the sound
On this Friday Friday night when I came
And rocked your town

On this Friday night
When the feelings alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
I’m chilling with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

I can just tell
A girl like you’s a deadend
Pressing up against me
Talking about I got a boyfriend
Now here he comes looking for you
On the dancefloor
While your pushing on my knee
Talkin bout I love you more
I’m new in town
But I’m no stranger to this
I’m not trying to exist
With a hit and run fix
I get my loving on the run
And I like having fun
But I don’t sneak around
And I don’t gotta a gun
Now give me three steps
Like the boy Lynrd Skynrd
Theres more drama in this town
Than a soap so I figured
Maybe I’ll get your digits
And maybe I will call
And maybe we’ll slip
Into the backroom down the hall
Or maybe I’ll get jacked up
By your angry boyfriend Louie
Cause his eyes are getting redder
While his anger’s busy stewing on the fire
The little trick in you brought out
On this Friday Friday night
When I came and rocked your town

On this Friday night
Everything is alright
Rock steady grooves in the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
I chillin with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

Rock & Roll (Shouts Out Back To The Rappers)

This is Rock n’ Roll shouts out
Back to the rappers
A lot of people state claims
Saying hip hop don’t matter
But really what could be fatter than
Jungle J.B’s beats and streatside sounds
Profound are the sounds
That I was hearing
When at basketball league
This kid said “Yo come here
And put these headphones on your ears”
I was converted then
And practiced it for years
Rap music like jazz, funk and R & B
Blues, reggae, rock and roll soul and rock stead G
Will be around forever
And it’s never going out
That’s why I took this time to spell these lyrics out
I want to give thanks to the lyricist M.C’s
And DJs who brought me near to this
Blastmaster, KRS- the one teacher
Run D-M-C and the movie Beat Street
Eric B and Rakim were paid in full
De La Soul came along and broke all the rules
I remember when my girl bought me Tribe Called Quest
We broke up later but I kept the cassette
Kool Mo Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane
Main Source, Pharsyde, and Dana Dane
Steady B on the hill top
With Lady B on power 99 west Philly
Cypress Hill, the Goats and Das EFX
Tupac EPMP
Let’s see who’s next
Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr, and Bizmarke
Jazzy Jeff, the Fresh Prince
Put summer in my ears
Slick Rick, Funk Doobie and the Beastie Boys
And all of the rest that make some noise
There plenty more people that’s coming on
And the list could run
Until the break of dawn
But right now yo
It’s back to the blues man
Tripping, rolling, flyin or just cruising
Yeah fire it up
Eh yo do it right
We gonna go go till the morning light
It’s just a rock n roll
A little bit of rock n roll
I like a rock n roll
And give me some rock n roll
Oh la oh la yea

Love

Baby we’ve been through a lot and times sure have changed
Everybodys leaving town
Looking for better things
But I found what I want
And I got no problem working
I wish to god that my heart would stop hurting

Shops closing down
Factories outdated
People so frustrated
My whole life is changing
Just trying to find some
Solid ground
A little house with
A picket fence hows that sound

Love is all I need
Love is all I need

I’ve seen tears that are
Falling like leaves from the trees
Houses boarded up and they
Threw away the keys
But this town is where we’re born
And this town is where we’re staying
I’ll never ever turn my back
On you ever again
Come on let’s be together
I got some money put aside
And if I make it big would you take a little ride
Would you promise to always stay by my side
Would you give me true love and have nothing to hide

Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love

If you want to give me your love babe
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

We can make a
Change in our life babe
Tonight
It’s alright
It’s alright

Around The World (Thank You)

Gimme Some Lovin'

Give me some lovin early in the morning
I just woke up with this appetite
Gimme some love in the morning light
Give me some lovin early in the morning
I just woke up with this appetite
Gimme some love in the morning light

Some people like it in the afternoon
But I don’t think that I can wait that soon
Gimme some love in the morning light
Some people like it late at night
I could wait that long but I don’t think I might
Gimme some love in the morning light
I’m gonna love you soft and love you sweet
I can feel your heart beat
I need your attention to get me started right
I’m gonna wake you up with a kiss on the cheek
Come a little closer open up to me
Good morning babe good morning babe
Open your eyes just a little bit
Good morning sunshine I can’t resist
Dreaming about you baby all through the night
