Melodies from heaven
Rain down on me, rain down on me
Melodies from heaven
Rain down on me, rain down on me
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Take me in your arms and hold me close
Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
And uh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block, brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nuttin' don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em (you don't need him)
You know me makes me unhappy? (What's that?)
When brothas make babies
And leave a young mother to be a pappy (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman (yeah, yeah)
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? (Why? Why?)
I think it's time to kill for our women (why? Why? Why? Why?)
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies (oh, yeah, baby)
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies,
__ __ __ __ __!
But keep ya head up!
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Up in your room once again, tempted
Bad for me, it's the truth, but I can't miss this
Don't tell my friends that I'm here to visit
Don't tell my friends that I'm here, mmm-mmm-mmm, yeah
Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Maybe I'm the cause of the pain
Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the problem and the one that's causing all of this
I can't say I love you no more (more)
'Cause my friends gon' judge me for sure (sure)
It took some time but I realized
You do me wrong but it feels right
I can't say I love you no more (more)
'Cause my friends gon' judge me for sure (sure)
It took some time but I realized
You do me wrong but it feels right
__ __ __ __ __ __
Feels like I'm stuck on you
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
__ __ __ __, __ __ __ __ __
People always told me be careful of what you do
[Intro]
Check, check, check it out
Check, check, check it out
Do what you want, girlfriend, 'cause it's your world
[Chorus]
We are living (Ooh)
Single (Hey)
Yes, we're living the single life, yeah
We are living (Hey)
Single
Ooh, and in a '90s kind of world
__ __ _ __ __ __
I'm glad I got my girls
There is something about that name, Jesus
It's the sweetest name I know
Something about the name Jesus (come run on down here, if yo believe that)
Something about the name Jesus
(It's the sweetest name, yeah) It is the sweetest name (sweetest name I know), I know
__, __ _ __ __ __, __!
Oh, how I love the name, Jesus!
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You look so good to me, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
And I know you're not no good for me, but
You look so good to me
I don't need another broken heart or sleepless night
God, please guide me right, she looks like
The girl of my dreams, yeah, uh
She looks like the girl of my-
She looks like the girl of my-
She looks like the girl of my dreams, yeah
She looks like the girl of my-
She looks like the girl of my, yeah (okay)
Devil in a dress, angel in some Nike Airs
I could've sworn I went to sleep, and she was right here
Don't know if I seen her in my dreams or my nightmares
Think it was my nightmares
And I think I need your love, I don't need no one selfish
__ __ _ __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __?
Wonder if I give this girl my heart, could she help it?
Hmm, hmm
She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Just one touch and I erupt
Like a volcano and cover her with my love
Baby girl, you make me say (ooh ooh ooh)
And just can't think (of anything else I rather do)
Than to hear you sing (sing my name the way you do)
Oh, when we do our thing (when we do the things we do)
Mmm baby girl, you make me say (ooh ooh ooh) ooh
Sexy love
Girl, the things you do (oh, baby baby)
Keep me sprung
Keep me running back to you (ooh, baby I)
Ooh, I love
Making love to you
Baby girl you know your my
Sexy love
I'm so addicted to her
She's the sweetest drug, huh
__ __, __ __ __
Just enough, still too much
[Intro: Jordin Sparks]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1: Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown]
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

[Pre-Chorus: Jordin Sparks]
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
[Chorus: Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
There's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __?
Tell me how you're gon' be without me
If you could gaze into the future (Future, future)
You might think life would be a breeze (Life is a breeze)
Seeing trouble from a distance, yeah (Go Rae)
But it's not that easy (Oh no)
(Take it to the bridge, now) I try to save the situation
(Keep it goin', Rae) Then I end up misbehaving
(Oh, woah-woah, no)
Hey now, whatcha say, now?
'Bout to put it down
Yeah, come on and ride with Rae now
And if the future looks gray now (C'mon, c'mon)
__ __ __ __ __
Then everything's gonna change now
For those of you that think gospel music has gone to far
You think we got too radical with our message
Well, I got news for you, you ain't heard nothin' yet
And if you don't know, now you know, glory, glory
Lately, I've been going through some things that really got me down
I need someone, somebody to help me, come and turn my life around
I can't explain, I can't obtain it, Jesus your love is so, it's so amazing
It gets me high up to the sky and when I think about Your goodness
It makes me wanna stomp, makes me clap my hands
Makes me wanna dance and stomp
My brother can't you see I got the victory? Stomp!
Lord if I
Find favor in Your sight
Lord please
Hear my hearts cry
I'm desperately waiting
To be where You are
I'll cross the hottest desert
__ __ __ __ __
I'll travel near or far
So I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin' that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'ed every girl that I'd see-see 'round town
__ __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __ __ __
And hate to see y'all frown, but I'd rather see her smilin'
You might think I'm crazy, but I'm serious
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness was only part-time bliss
You can take a bow
It was all just one big night out on the town
Riding in your limousine
We turned right and I say wrong which brings us to a stop
__ __ __ __ __
an't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Talk about where we're goin'
Before we get lost
Let me out first
Can't get what we want without knowin'
I've never felt like this before
I apologize if I'm movin' too far
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Figure out where we're goin'
Yeah
Started off right
I can see it in your eyes
I can tell that you're wantin' more
What's been on your mind?
There's no reason we should hide
Tell me somethin' I ain't heard before
Oh, I've been dreamin' 'bout it
And it's you I'm on
So stop thinkin' 'bout it
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Talk about where we're goin'
Before we get lost
Let me out first (yeah)
Can't get what we want without knowin' (no)
I've never felt like this before
I apologize if I'm movin' too far
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Figure out where we're goin'
Penthouse view, left some flowers in the room
I'll make sure I leave the door unlocked
Now I'm on the way, swear I won't be late
__ __ __ __ _ _'___
I'll be there by five o'clock
They say this is a
big, rich town
I just come from the
poorest part
Bright lights, city
life, I gotta make it
This is where it goes down
I just happen to come up hard
Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it
I never took a straight path nowhere
__ __ __ __ __ __
life's full of twist and turns
