I can't take it man. Hey Nas, hey hey boy, you see what they done did to Jimmy and Lee? Mmmhmm. Damn man. Sho' can't. You think this is gonna eva' change? Man damn this place man! Damn these chains! These damn Chitlins every damn night. This cotton.

You had me fucked up It used to be so hard to see Yeah, loving is easy When everything's perfect Please don't change a single little thing for me Loving is easy When you can't even hide it

Take me somewhere Don't want to live in a dream one more day I want you to lead me I see, through thirty Getting older, every day My soul drawing pictures Of innocent times Can you add, color, inside these lines Sure, if we change our perspective

Dum-da-da-da-da-da-dum I promise I can change See you can find me The tallest building, in the tallest city And I will build a ladder to the rooftops Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry I messed up" So darling, won't you stay here? Darling, if you stay

The more things change The more they stay the same We gotta wake up Give me power to end all of the strife Courage to kill the pro-life I don't want to see You can't change me You tell me not to bow Just follow for now

Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Hey yeah yeah yeah If we give a little love Maybe we can change the world Hey yeah yeah Don't let em bring you down now, down now And get up and just love now love now Sing it if you with me

Till you get back wit him, it don't change (Can't help but wait) Till you see that wit me, it ain't the same (Can't help but wait) Till you, see you, for what you really are (Baby girl you are a star) And I can't help but wait Even tho I know I'll treat

I, I'm just thinking about you You just change my life for good Now it's time for me to thank you And to see that I love you baby I, I'm here for you anytime If you need me you know where I am Ladies, lady, lady, ladies only you can say that you know me

Easier said than done I won't let you forget me I still see your shadows in my room Can't take back the love that I gave you It's to the point where I love and I hate you And I cannot change you so I must replace you (oh) I thought you were the one

What a shame, what a shame To judge a life that you can't change The choir sings, the church bells ring So, won't you give this man his wings? What a shame, to have to beg you to See we're not all the same What a shame Wouldn't let him be Have you heard
