MAKE IT RIGHT
BACK TO TOP

CHORUS:
If you're feelin' kinda down
He can make it alright (oh yeah, alright)
He can heal the deaf
And give the blind their sight (oh yeah, alright)
Wanna be set free from sin tonight? (oh yeah, alright)
Just give it up to him and he'll make it alright
(oh yeah, alright)

Last night, tears you cried
Unhappy with the state of your life
You feel so empty inside
The loneliness you cannot deny

Searching everyday, trying everyway
To find the answers for your life
Friend, there's hope for you
All you have to do
Is put your life in his hands
He'll make it right

CHORUS

Can't sleep, got things on your mind
Feel your life ain't goin' right
Don't know where you should go
Or who you need to talk to

Take it up to God
He's the one in charge
If you let him be the captain of your ship
He will guide you right
Never steer you wrong
Listen to the words of this song

CHORUS

Make it right, make it alright
He'll make it alright, make it alright
Make it right, make it alright
He'll make it alright, make it alright

CHORUS

When you're feelin' down
When you're feelin' lonely
When you feel abused
And you feel so confused
Thoughts of suicide
Livin' for that high
When the pain won't end
Just give it all to him
He'll make it alright
(oh yeah, alright)

SPEAK TO THE HAND
BACK TO TOP

My name is Kita and I'm not hoochie
Not hoochie coochie cause I won't let you smooch me
My girl Nesi, she can speak for herself
(and if you step to me wack then you better make a left)
I ain't a prude or crude with an attitude
I speak from the heart cause it's for your own good
But between you and me when he likes what he sees
(Aw, girl it's on the tip of my tongue,
what do you call it? ... when a brother gets sprung!)
that's right dress so tight, nobody taught you different
so you think it's all right
(and we ain't tryin' to hear about no stereotypes).
Skirt so short it's a belt
If you don't want nobody lookin' then respect yourself
If beauty's skin deep then don't dress so cheap
And get mad when you hear (you remind me of my jeep).

CHORUS:
I ain't even tryin to hear that! (oh no)
I ain't even tryin to hear that! (but you don't hear me though)
I ain't even tryin to hear that! (oh no)
Speak to the hand!
 
I've heard every other lame excuse
Stuff more silly than the original Dr. Suess
Brotha said he couldn't help himself
Looking out for number one he was under alot of stress
Dysfunctional family should excuse me from
Consequences or responsibility
Hey man it's survival of the fittest
I hit her closed fisted and that's how I did this
Granny didn't need it, she had three months to live
A habit to support, I had to pay my bills
Court room calamity, perpetrating insanity
(Punks get set free makes me want to use profanity)
Lets get to the root of the sickness
When it comes to wickedness, there's one way to kick this
(Underneath the skin is original sin)
And every heart is wicked, that's the reason why we're trippin'

CHORUS

If you know who you are
And what your supposed to do
Then maybe you wouldn't do
The things that you do
So seek and you will find
Don't let your eyes be blind
And don't allow the wrong things
To influence your mind

LAKITA: Girlfriend, I'm sick and tired of all
these people coming to me with these lame excuses
for the way they act and stuff.

NESI: Mmm-hmm, like this is not really me this is
just my job how I make my living.

LAKITA: Oh it just happened.  Oh I'm basically a
good person.  Oh were gonna get married anyway.
It's my body so itis my choice.  What they don't
know won't hurt them.

LAKITA & NESI: You should be able to do whatever
you want to do as long as you don't hurt anybody.

HIGH ON YOU
BACK TO TOP

Don't need no smoke
I don't need no drink
No drugs to cloud my mind
So I can't think
All I want to do is
Just be with You
You're the real XTC
Nothing else will do
No pills to take me up
None to take me down
Nothing makes me feel like
This when You're around
Don't need no buzz
When you're the real thing
I act this way because Your love
Makes me wanna sing
 
Chorus
I get high, high on you
I get high, and that's all I wanna do
Is get high, high on You
Make me wanna sing
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa

How come y'all ask me why
I'm hyped all the time
Not b'cuz I'm smokin' bud or
Drinkin' wine (a lil' tanqueray)
Let me break it down
Just wanna be real y'all
Don't take it personal
Let me tell you how I feel
It seems unusual to hear me speak my mind
The Spirit's takin' hold of me
Deep down inside
Don't do the things that I
That I used to do
I've been changed I'm not the same
I feel brand new

CHORUS

I get so high, I can touch the sky
Like R. Kelly I believe I can fly
When ya speak I jump, heart goes thump
Don't need to take a toke
I know you'll hook me up, higher
Like an escalator, elevator
Water boiling over steaming hot
From my percolator
Gettin' a lil' tongue tied
Flippin' it on the flip side
On the inside I'm satisfied
And that's why
-----

KEEP ON PRAYIN'
BACK TO TOP



CHORUS:
Gotta keep on prayin', keep on
It doesn't matter what they do or say
He will make a way

I had some friends I thought were down with me
But when I needed them they turned their backs on me
And now it seems that I am all alone
But know that I have you I'm never on my own
But know that I have you I'm never on my own

CHORUS

Alone, before I go to sleep at night
I close my eyes and pray the Lord'll take my soul
If I should die, give me peace, release me from da beast
Hmm, within makes my soul sin
Set me free from hypocrisy
I can't expect others to change if there's no change in me
So I know I gotta fold my hands and crease my knees
And believe in prayer the Deity is hearin' me

CHORUS

Everybody in Miami, Chi-town and Motown
DC and Atlanta, 'Bama and Indiana
New York to LA, Paris and London
Tokyo and Hong Kong, everybody 'round the world

CHERISH
BACK TO TOP

The day we met, I didn't realize
That you were the one for me
Whom I would spend my life
Your every quality is all that I adore
So I'm giving my all to you
My love, my life my joy

CHORUS:
I wanna spend my life with you
Ooo, No one else will do
No matter what we go through
I'll be there for you

All I know is that I cherish you so
You are more than I  ever could imagine
You've touched my heart and soul
And showed me I really matter
No one means as much as you
As you do to me
Cause I was made for you and you were made for me

CHORUS

This is how a love should be
Together for eternity
You fill my life with peace and joy
I will love you for always and forever
You fill my life with peace and joy
I will love you for always and forever
I never thought I'd ever find
A love to give me peace of mind
I promise I won't leave your side
We'll be together for life

LADIES ANTHEM
BACK TO TOP

Sex ain't safe when he looks you in the face
And breaks your heart and says that he's movin' on
A jimmy-hat just can't face the fact
Of a broken heart and a life that's whacked
There's more to life than gettin' your groove on
So before you go ahead
Remember what Granny said

CHORUS:
He'll tell ya that he loves ya
Then he'll up and leave ya
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free
He'll tell ya that he needs ya
Then he'll up and leave ya
When you give him what he really came for

Wham bam thank you Ma'am
He'll take your heart and leave you
Where you stand
All alone in a puddle of tears
And to fill that empty hole
Don't you give away your soul
To every guy who lies those three little words
So before you go ahead
Remember what Granny said

CHORUS

DIALOGUE:
Oh yeah yeah yeah, now we gon' talk about
the male perspective right now ladies,
you better check this out, and fellas,
you check it out too... uhh...

MALE RAP:
I know you blowin' off some steam, you got to let it go
Now I done heard you out and now you got to hear my flow
Now I'm the type of brother who can put it down
And what'cha talkin' 'bout is real, sweetheart, no doubt
I agree some of my homies sorta livin' foul
But on behalf of the respectable (just hold up, now)
To all my dawgs who don't respect, you better tighten it up
'Cause this girl ain't talkin' phony
And I don't want you to be lonely

CHORUS

Poof!
Be gone!

YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE
BACK TO TOP

Sistas poppin' up knocked up what's da problem
Any fool can read da back of a condom
Maybe it's because there's a lack of access to jimmy-hats
They're makin' mo' not less but ain't no progress
In this war ages 25 to 44
Every year AIDS opens up deaths door to mo'
Fallen victims of a government scheme
Hey let's get Mikey (yea, yea, he'll try anything)
We'll convince 'em  "if it feels good do it"
Stupid guinea pig, if we feed 'em, he'll chew it
Like da condoms that we sell 'em
But we won't tell 'em wasn't made for disease
It ain't safe and it can kill 'em
Don't you know they got holes you can't see
They might stop a baby, but what about VD?
52 flavas, 20 go through to punk you fool
A glove can't save you so what you gone do?

CHORUS:
If you don't know you betta ask somebody
If you don't know you betta ask (you betta recognize)
If you don't know you betta ask somebody
If you don't know you betta ask (you betta recognize)

Babies havin' babies we throw 'em birth control
Never heard of self-control cause they learn from a talk show
Sleepin' around thinkin' it can't happen to me
Half the singles knockin' got an STD (check CDC G)
They don't know it, may not show it
But every single one will say da devil made 'em do it
Some of you brothas' are a little too easy
If you were sistas then you'd be called sleazy
I know this stuff might make some a y'all feel queasy
But I'm just gettin' started so sit down (take it easy)
Some suckas say abstinence ain't real
They do as they feel, they gonna get a raw deal
And be real dead, thinkin' wit' the wrong head
Don't be misled I didn't studda' that's what I said
The 411 I just kicked is true
Now you can't say didn't nobody ever tell you
-----
HANGING
BACK TO TOP

You've gotta hold on tight
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta hold on tight
He's gonna do you right

Hanging, hanging, hanging, hanging on
Hanging, hanging, hanging, hanging on

LET GO
BACK TO TOP

I try and try to clue you on the real
But you decided just to do just as you feel
The things I say you know they're for the best
But you continue to put the rules through the test

Eenie meenie minie mo
I try my best to tell you though
You've been told all that glitters isn't gold
But you didn't want to hear my flow
And showed me the door
Hmm, you is a crazy so-n-so
You wouldn't listen and started trippin'
And dissin' what I had to say
And started livin' risque
Said I was all work and no foul play
I know you're frontin', like everything is just okay

CHORUS:
I told you once and I told you twice
But you didn't want to listen to my advice
I didn't want to say "see I told you so"
But you didn't want to let go

As a result of doin' your own thing
The word is out your head is on ring
The choice is yours to make
Don't make the same mistake

I'm not here to rub it in but as a friend
I'll tell you not to spend your time and energy
Doin' things you shouldn't be
But you're not hearin' me so
I didn't want to be the one to say I told you so
When your down in the dumps
Just a hop skip and a jump away
I got your back I'm here to stay
I got say to you in love the truth
You can start over turn in over to Jehovah
-----

HEAVEN'S CALLING YOU
BACK TO TOP

I gaze into the starry night
Tears fill my eyes
I shed these tears in fear
But I know God hears my cry
I ask Him why you're not here
While the time passes by
You can't run you can't hide
You're conscience follows and it knows

CHORUS:
Heaven is calling you, calling you
You need to listen, you better answer
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do
I hope that you don't turn away, don't you turn away
Heaven is calling you, calling you
You better answer, you need to listen
What are you gonna do, heaven's calling you
Heaven's calling you

I remember all those times
We used to spend together
Thought forever we'd be friends
Didn't think that it would end
I went the narrow path
You took the wide road
My prayers are heaven sent
It doesn't matter where you go

CHORUS

The wind whispers out your name
The thunder shouts, lightning proclaims
It doesn't matter night or day
You can't runaway
