* Intro: This is one of those songs you can clap along too... (Slug) Hides the eyes beneath the bill of the cap Walks amoungst the flies that hover over the mat He lies, but only when there's a reason Mentions life by the tragedy, the comedy, the season Poor at handling and managing income Got enough love to pass around and then some Been done, that there a name you can trust Read the whole match book and put a flame to the brush Good with packs, and rips up sacks Put the show in biz, try to give what you get When you let him run free with the thought Pull the line in, try to see what you caught I ain't all that bad, but I ain't all that great I went back to the lab and began to mutate Wait. I still look the same, still got the same dumb name Ain't a damn thing changed But if you like surprises, I know of a party Where they all dance around to your heart beat Bring your own agenda and embrace your flaws Lets put a face on this common cause Chorus: And he said some got pencils and some got guns Some know how to stand and some of them run We don't get along, but we sing the same song Party for the fight to write, and write on Stay gold Pony Boy, stay true outspoken Make a record Mr. Gangster and get 'em all open The theories, the stories, the truth, the myths Its all therapy, on top of turntable riffs This industry's big, so big in fact We can all get some, and we can give some back And if its done correct, we'll make more than noise So pick it up, and pick me up when you're bored with the toys As a child Hip Hop made me read books, And Hip Hop made me wanna be a crook And Hip Hop gave me the way and something to say And all I took in return is a second look Son, you're shook, cuz ain't no such thing as half way there Gettin' good at actin' like you just don't care The circle of life trying to make it square condition And self sit still And stare... where have all the sheep gone Burnt down the farm and turned the TV on John Coltrine, Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley all get invitations to my party Chorus And if I spent anymore time inside my head I'd probably need some leather straps attached to my bed And if I go another day without eating a meal I'm gonna show you what it means to keep it real And if they keep shootin' guns up and down my block I swear to God I'll be the first one to call the cops And if I gotta hear that song ever again You gonna have to share some of that beer my friend They mistake me as happy-go-lucky Just another base-head bobbin' nobody But from where I stand, they sould like spies Fillin' all the children's heads with lies Well alright, get your money right But right now tonight I want you to pick a side So when you got your power and you got your cheddar Let's get together soldier overthrow this hold and make these roads better Bring it on... (right now)... he said bring it on... (right now) He looked you in the eye and said bring it on... (right now) Ain't nothin' but a party y'all... lets get it on Chorus (repeated)

She asked me "why? Why did he leave us dry? Why didn't father stay, why did he go away?" And she asked me "why? Why do they take our lives? Why do they drop their bombs Bro Kwaku, don't they have children where they're from?" Somebody call Aki Ola Wherever you are I need some answers now But someone told me you were the King You knew everything, I never had to think Oh but now that I'm a little older The world has grown colder And I have many many questions So somebody call Aki Ola Wherever you are I need some answers now

Oh you know we're tired ooo Heaven knows we're tired ooo Yesu we are tired ooo Cry out we are tired ooo The preacher's saying this too shall pass But we've always been hiding behind masks It feels like we've been running too long (running, running, oh) How many more fears can we run from, ooo There's so much smoke and debris We want to breathe just a little Right now it's so hard to see what we must do So many wars we can't see But we're caught in the middle We're in a fight for our lives, so we Cry out we are tired ooo Cry out we are tired ooo Yesu, we are tired ooo So we cry out we are tired ooo Oh I know someday (tired, ooo) we will be restored And I know we'll rest (tired, ooo) because you're still Lord But right now we are (tired, ooo) So we cry out we are (tired) ooo

She looks in the mirror She doesn't like what she sees She thinks she's a thriller She thinks she's ugly People have broken her pillar Her faith is now weak But I got a message from Jesus He told me. He told me "you're a star to me I made you who you are, so be So be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Your laugh might be a little scary Ok maybe not a little... maybe very And yes, maybe you might have a stammer, But you see that doesn't matter Because you're an image of Jesus So you just have a perfectly imperfect appearance And if you are just an image, then I have to see His face It's a song that's been locked up in my heart cells, cardiac tissues You can call me cobbler cause I'm trying to fix this issue/ish-shoe Make-up on so thick you wouldn't need winter sheets Each day, I get a little more weak/week See when you were created God said "look at who I made now. I have made nobody like her. I'm so proud!" So go now go shine, no solar eclipse Cause God told me this He told me "you're a star to me I made you who you are, so be So be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful We are a beautiful 'cause of Jesus We want you to know that's how he sees us We are a beautiful 'cause of Jesus 'Cause you are worth it And you are perfect Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful Be you, beautiful
