A future paradise, in a world without fears

 

Let's open up our eyes to the hurt and the sorrows

Time has come to ease the pain, build a better tomorrow

So whatcha gonna do with the key to your destiny

Will you live, let live, let it be

Time has come to ease the pain and build a better tomorrow

Mary's Got A Baby

written by M. Elliott, R. Livingstone, G. Chambers, M. Davis

 

chorus 1

Mary's got a baby pretty little baby

What am I supposed to do

I try my best to help her, show her that I care

But brothers got their problem too

 

chorus 2

Hot man fi get a hot woman ya

Rastaman fi get a ras woman ya

a lioness fi get a lion right right

 

Too much drama and commotion that's surrounding me

It's a sticky situation and I can't break free

Lord I wish that sweet sweet Mary could be my cherie

But my Mary's got a baby and it's not for me

 

repeat chorus 1

 

Listen the DJ style and listen mi patter

This is Beenie Man up on the version

Maxi Priest yuh a number one singer help me sing along

 

repeat chorus 2

Every morning that I wake it's only bills I see

It's so hard just for a man to build a family

All the stress and strife of life has got a hold on me

When I hear the baby cry it breaks a part of me oh well

 

repeat chorus 1

 

My life and your life is just familiar

Every day dem want to kill mi in the media

And dem say mi have seven baby mother

But mi check dem have a next baby father

Well a four youth mi get although mi a fret

Cause every girl weh fi step in a mi crip yes

All now mi nuh see di next three yet

What A Woman Needs

written by M. Elliott, J. Thomas, J. Thompson

 

Tell me does he ever stroke your body gently

Does he talk to you the way that I do

Does he look into your eyes and see his future

I know that I do when I'm loving you

 

He's been treating you like love is out of season

Girl there ain't no reason

You can have it all

What a woman needs

 

chorus

This is how my heart beats

When I am making love to you

Listen to the sounds of how much I want you

Let your body feel my groove

I wanna get deep in you

This is what a woman needs day and night

What a woman needs

 

You need understanding love and devotion

So let me put it into motion

This is what I'll do for you

 

I'll break you off the way that you like

I'll be the priest you call in the night

I'll keep it real

So baby what's the deal

  

He's been treating you like love is out of season

Girl there ain't no reason

You can have it all

What a woman needs

 

repeat chorus

 

Everyday will be sunshine

Cause what a woman needs

I'll give to you

Making love in the moonlight

I promise I will cherish you forever

Back Together Again

written by R. Lucas, J. Mtume

 

It seems we've weathered

Hard times we've been through

In silence I've waited

I've missed you (miss you too)

 

chorus

Coz you you and I back together again

We got the world in a spin

Coz you you and I back together again,

We got the world in a spin

 

It's all come together

Problems we've defeated

I'm here heart in hand

You take all that I got if you need it baby

 

repeat chorus

 

Love will last forever (that's true)

We can make it real (got to be real)

Say you'll leave me never

We can truly feel (watcha feel) (I feel like getting)

 

Back together

(Baby keep it real and I will be there till the end)

 

Younger and wiser

Time has shown the way

We've come full circle here to stay (here to stay)

(We got the world)

 

repeat chorus

 

You know the deal

My life story from broke

We always talked about the bad times that turned into jokes

We spoke about you leaving the town, yo I was down

But now you're back in my life

I'm happy to have you around (I hold you down)

Remember the fun we have when we're young

You thought it was done, never none

We haven't begun

Together we come the land of living

I'm giving my heart to you every part

You the one I'm feeling

 

Truth is the light

It's the joy that we both share

Make love day and night

It's so easy to do when you care

Oh oh oh do you wanna dance

Do you wanna dance do you wanna

Oh oh oh do you wanna dance

Moving in cheek to cheek

Still in silence we don't speak

So intense in the groove

All she wants is to get rude

Rising up to the heat

I get chills down to my feet

When I'm begging her to stay

She just turns and says no way

 

chorus

She likes to dance

Just to give you the fever

So tell me what to a do

Just like an addiction

You just want it more and more

 

Sexy dress makes you dess

Leaves you yearning to caress

While she's burning like a fire

You're just melting with desire

You can look but you can't touch

And you just won't get too much

She's not into conversation

You won't get no explanation

 

repeat chorus

 

Oh oh oh do you wanna dance

Do you wanna dance do you wanna

Pure excitement to her waist

Good or evil you can't tell

Golden Lady

written by Stevie Wonder

 

Looking in your eyes

Kind of heaven eyes

Closing both my eyes

Waiting for surprise

 

To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far

And I'm not afraid to try and go it

To know the love and the beauty never known before

I'll leave it up to you to show it

 

chorus

And golden lady, golden lady

I'd like to go there

And golden lady, golden lady

I'd like to go there

Take me right away

 

Looking at your hands

Hands can understand

Waiting for the chance ooh

Oh just to hold your hand

 

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flowers grow

oh into a lovely smile that's bloomin'

And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true

And there's no way that I'll be losing you oh

 

repeat chorus

 

Oh baby baby baby

 

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flowers grow

Oh into a lovely smile that's blooming

And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true

There's no way that I'll be losing you oh

Oh take me right away

Take me right away

Wasn't Meant To Be

written by K. Brainerd, E. Toppin

 

Walk away, just walk away

 

Eight o'clock the purple clouds

I look outside my heart is heavy with regret

I never thought I could be standing so empty

And now your face I know I never will forget

 

They say this is love and you go through things like this sometimes

Try and not to show oh no

You know I know that it's over but I just can't let it go

And now that I know

 

chorus

It wasn't meant to be, between you and me

Now I know it wasn't meant to be

I've seen now the road I've been going down

Wasn't meant to be no no

 

Twilight, sun going down

The atmosphere is of romance is in the air

Reaching out for a piece of a memory

Final moments of our love we could share

But too many things undecided in between us

A life time and a day oh yeah

Ooh don't break the silence that surrounds us cause

There's nothing more to say and we'll have to pay

 

repeat chorus 2x

 

They say this is love and you go through things like this sometimes

That's the way it goes oh no

I got so much emotion but I just can't let it go

No no no

Try

written by M. Elliott, G. Benson, L. Brown

 

Don't rush the move you gotta make

Don't give it all before you take

Just step aside and watch a while

Be prepared to walk an extra mile

Flip the switch and check the groove

And now's the time to stop talk and move

Education is the only way

To learn to live to fight another day

 

chorus

We can make it if we try try try

Who's the mathematician Jah Jah on a mission try try try

 

Don't get caught in no desperation

Use your skill from your ghetto irration

Feel the vibration

Some people see it astrologically

But I didn't get that from my triga knowledgy

 

What a friend who would deceive

Use your faith when you believe

Thought he was a friend

The human love we thought was real

So off and on so what's the deal

Thought he was a friend yeah

 

repeat chorus

 

Now tell me

Who's the mathematician

Jah Jah on a mission

Trying to find a way in this world of attrition

Jah Jah on a mission

Work it out,work it out

 

Keep it real

 

We gotta find a sanctuary

Flip into the 21st century

Keep it real and lose the fakes

Learn all your lessons from your own mistakes

Children now will come of age

Let's keep the love as we set the stage

Justice for all we can stand tall

No more comin' from back against the wall hey

 

We can make it if we try try try

Who's the mathematician

Jah Jah on a mission

I only have one heart

Don't tear it all apart

I don't know where to start

Cause I can't wait forever for you

 

The way you treat me baby

The way you hold my hand

I thought I was your man

And all the things I wanted

And all that we've been through

I've never loved no one the way that I loved you

 

So why you treat me so bad

I almost go mad

I wouldn't do the things that you do

Now I'm sad

I thought I had you

Now it's an impossible dream that will never come true yeah

Cause now I'm down on my knees

Girl if you don't want me

Set me free for a love

That's waiting for me

There's got to be a better way

And someone who really loves me

The minute I saw you

I wanted to hold you

Why can't you be mine

And spend all of my time

I've so much to give and one life to live

I can't be without you

 

chorus

If only I could be the one

To love you forever

If only I could be the one

To cherish forever

Could I be the one, just let me be the one

Someone you can run to

So What If It Rains

written by M. Elliott, J. Thompson

 

I just got the 411 heard it on the radio from the weatherman

Today there's gonna be no sun

Stormy weather's coming down

Everybody's changing plans

A little drop of rain they start to run away

I don't really give a damn

Cause in the rain we're gonna stay

 

Warm drops on the skin, let the love begin

I'll give you love the way you want it

In any kind of weather

 

chorus

So what if it rains, I'll be inside

Safe in the shelter of your love far from the storm

So what if it rains slippery when warm

Deep within your love the sun still shines

So what if it rains so what so what

 

Laying on a bed of flowers

Songbirds all around us sing the joy of spring

And the crazy things it brings

Lovers in the moment do it anywhere

I love it when we're wrapped up

Rockin' to the rythm of the pouring rain

Like a summer storm you come for me

Every time I let you feel my thunder

 

Warm drops on the skin, let the love begin

I'll give you love the way you want it

In any kind of weather

 

repeat chorus

 

It feels so good inside your love

I couldn't stop if I wanted to ooh baby

The sun is breaking out above

I can hear the people coming out

I don't give a damn who's watching

Or if we draw a crowd

I'm gonna tell the world I love you

And I'm gonna say it out loud

 

repeat chorus

 

Ooh baby I don't give a damn if it rains

Don't give a damn baby Don't give a damn baby ooh

Allright yeah

I don't give a damn if it rains

God Watches Over Us

written by G. Benson, M. Elliott, C. Branch

 

Mmm oh yeah blessed be the father oh

Sometimes you feel like you're all alone

Sometimes it's hard just to find a home

Seems like you're searching in the dark

Trying to find just a touch of heart

 

Sometimes you feel like you wanna cry

Breakdown and crawl like you wanna die

Just when you think that all is lost

You find the strength just to get across

And when you reach for a deeper love

You find a way to rise above

Cause I know I know I know I know

 

chorus

God watches over us

And no matter where we go

I put my heart and trust

And I just won't let it go

Cause I know I know I know I know

God watches over us oh yeah

 

I've had my times for the might have been

I've played those games that I couldn't win

I had a hand had to turn it in

Cause I was scared just to loose a friend

Sometimes you stop and you close the door

You reach inside cause you needed more

Can't help but kneel and shout a prayer

Somehow I know there is someone there

Cause when you reach out for a deeper love

You find a way to rise above

Cause I know I know I know I know

repeat chorus

Life may have its ups and downs

But when all is lost I've found

I've found

 

repeat chorus
