Empty room, empty room
How am I gonna fill U?
How am I gonna fill this empty room?

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
How am I ever gonna fill this empty room?

Found a strand of your hair
By the bathroom window
How am I ever gonna get U off my mind?

In my bed, in my head
Every word U've spoken
Now how am I gonna fill this empty room?

Lonely hearts, worlds apart
Why should they be broken?
When we could be somewhere makin' love?

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
Baby, why did U leave me all alone?
Why'd U do it?

Barren walls, tears fall
What's the use in cryin'?
I gotta find a way, find a way 2 fill this empty room

Stanza vuota, stanza vuota
come farò a riempirti?
Come farò a riempire questa stanza vuota?

L'amore è forte, comunque duraturo
Saremmo dovuti esistere per sempre
Come farò mai a riempire questa stanza vuota?

Ho trovato una ciocca di tuoi capelli
Vicino alla finestra del bagno
Come farò mai a dimenticarti?

Nel mio letto, nella mia testa
Ogni parola che hai pronunciato
Adesso come farò a riempire questa stanza vuota?

Cuori soli, mondi separati
Perché devono essere spezzati?
Quando potremmo essere da qualche parte a far l'amore?

L'amore è forte, comunque duraturo
Saremmo dovuti esistere per sempre
Piccola, perché mi hai lasciato solo?
Perché l'hai fatto?

Muri spogli, scendono lacrime
A che serve piangere?
Devo trovare un modo, trovare un modo per riempire questa stanza vuota

Welcome to the slaughterhouse
Silicon, rope of silicon, just a rope of silicon, rope of silicon

One day you'll get outside the doo-rag
When you really want to contemplate this
Paranormal situation that your people got into, can I hip you
Long ago who considered the outcome
Thinking that a cat like you would be troublesome
And stuck you in a mind tangling curriculum
Guaranteed to leave you in the state of delirium
While all along teaching their kids in the valley to become unlike you - Broke and dumb

On a magical rope of silicon you can bet that they'll be chilling in Babylon
Thinking about a way that they can split the proton
While U eating on a bloody chicken and dead prawn
Mickey D. shake and a filet mignon
Swearing up and down that you're the picture of health,now come on

Leave that blood alone
Dont you know that dead blood kills interferons
Making the immune system victim 2 whereupon
Any known virus can boot up and log on www.U.com

Ah youve found me,now that youre here
Let's talk about the U in this con
If your getting bored don't funk then just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Never mind the rhyme just relax and wax the song it's on and on and on and on
Aint gonna stop til the early morning,break it down ,later on come the break down y'all

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance on the funk
Dance, dance on the funk

This is why U were looking 4 me? Check it
Let's talk about the U in this con
If your getting bored don't funk then just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience

Don't think ,just wax on
If U R the eye that is the pawn
U begat the dead fruit of armageddon
Thick skin reigns in the realm of the pseudynom
While the blows taken by the silly con
The family does well with God 2 keep it strong
Never a paradox ,never a hexagon
U + he or she keep going on
Without another one of U in the title of this song
Goes on and on and on and on and on and on

Ooohaaah
Freaks!
Freaks!

Freaks gonna bob 2 this

Freaks gonna bob 2 this
I'm singing, coming with the 100bpm long playing
Sadomasochistic groove
Jules gonna pump it 'til the fat girls groove
NPG - "We're here!"
Bringing the feedback, coming to shake back
Hollow body 12-string Marshall stack

I wanna show you one of my purple toys
Step the fuck back cause it make plenty noise

Freaks gonna bob 2 this
Freaks gonna bob 2 this I'm singing
Coming with the shit to keep the players playing

Freaks Freaks
Never gonna lose it

Freaks gonna bob 2 that
Kirk said it
People think I'm still fly
I read it in the Open
Oakland Tribune
They said I dance like I ain't gonna retire soon
Well 'til I die and go and live in my heavenly mansion
I keep the Rock rolling in a funky fashion
Speaking of which, my rags are game
When I see the maker, He asks my tailor's name
Yeah, I got a gift
Nothing's gonna make me lose it
Sadomasochist this groove
And now you gotta use it

CHORUS

Freaks gonna bob 2 this
Cause I ain't sleeping
While your CD's thinking of coming out
I be creeping
Talking to the foreigners
"Wieviel kost der Hund im Fenster" say what?
Like a chippie on the corner
The charge don't mean a damn when you free
Double platinum they don't believe it to be
As long as Wild 107
Don't-play-me
The people in Moneyapolis
Yeah we got to be free
I got a gift y'all
I ain't about to lose it/ Sadomasochist this groove
And now you gotta use it

CHORUS

Freaks gonna bob 2 this
I'm saying
Freaks gonna bob 2 this
Sadomasochistic groove
Freaks gonna bob 2 this
NPG - "We're here!"

Let's play a game called you agree
Cause nothing was created in disagreement see
And if I didn't try to school ya I'd be remissed
Ya know what?
Why should I do that?
When I can do this?

Boom Shakalaka Boom
You were just conceived on a Friday night
I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight
Everytime they cut my space down I worked it harder
Stripped down to my underwear and spanked them like their father
Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre
Play a hand that's equal to mine? Huh, look at my cards
I heard your little groove and I raised you another
On a Sunday morning would you play that smack for your mother?
I believe you would think otherwise
A few CDs from now and the software that your banging's not live
In a real battle those loops you all got suffered TKO's
Until you're playing in front of 70,000 you'll never know, nigga
This a grown folks job; all young dogs need 2 recognize
If the word was God my people need to use it with the 3rd eye
Who what why, uh, look out

And if I didn't try 2 school u I would be remissed
Why should I do that when I can do this?

Boom Shakalaka Boom
Why-should-I-do-that-when-I-can-do-this?

Everytime I turn around there's another Boo
Talkin' about what another Boo can't do
Quiet as it's kept every one of you Boos
You need to try to walk around in my shoes
I've had devils try to take me out
But I stand for the truth so my words make more dollars than sense
On your hellavision, or your radio
This flow? It just grows
He been fighting the so called Power since the days of old
So tell me now what should be sold?
Sleepy jack hazards y'all need a couple a no-doze
Ask Mary J about Chaka - "Mary, is Chaka on the radio?"
Huh, you see, you gotta save your own
In the end it aint about the dollars but the seeds you've sown
In a mind-state full of Dutch Ale that's where the ghettos grow
Watch out y'all can't flatten me out tonight

And if I didn't try 2 school u I would be remissed
Why should I do that when I can do this?
If I nick another style then you will dis
Why should I do that when I can do this?
Boom Shakalaka Boom
Why-should-I-do-that-when-I-can-do-this?

A drummer in a cold sweat backing up my rhyme
Make you take your shorty outta here
Calling me fine, I got a big stick, one for each hand
Everybody know I keep a tight band, come on, uh

My brothers in Manhattan say "Gotta shut these haters down, G"
He say "Dog I got your back, but you gotta, you gotta make a sound that we used to.."
Well you might be pissed
Cause why would I do that when I can do this?

To most I'm known as a lover
To others I'm just a pain
The latter's opinion usually formed when mediocrity reigns
And if I didn't school ya, you know what, I would be remissed

Yo, why would I do that y'all, Londell, when I can do this?
Why-should-I-do-that-when-I-can-do-this?

Golden Parachute

Do ya wanna - Golden parachute?

Here's 50 million dollars - Go'n leave us alone
In appreciation for all the creations we now own
U brought us jazz, rhythm & blues, hip-hop, even soul, oooh
2 own every piece of intellectual property - This is our goal
Oh yes it is

Here's 50 million dollars, 2 go along with this boot!
Just keep your mouth shut, and never tell of the plan
The conquer and control of every soul and man

Do ya wanna - Golden parachute?
Oh oh oohoh
Do ya wanna - Golden parachute?

This is a tribute 4 all your accomplishments
The design of a system that allows for tax breaks and benefits

Do ya wanna - Golden parachute?

17 years old, misled by so-called parachute
Down this cold road
Into this web of deception, spiders and snakes and bears
Money made but never spent, never mentioned
Ah let's make a toast, 2 the host, 2 the man with the most
They worship you, all up under U, applauding
One who in truth created nothing, nothing
In essence, a fraud!

Golden parachute

Paracadute dorato

Vuoi - Paracadute dorato?

Ecco qua 50 milioni di dollari - Fila e lasciaci soli
Come apprezzamento per tutte le creazioni che possediamo adesso
Tu ci hai portato il jazz, il rhythm & blues, l'hip hop,
perfino il soul, oooh
Possedere ogni pezzetto di proprietà intellettuale - Questo è il nostro obiettivo
Oh sì lo è

Ecco qua 50 milioni, per continuare con questo incarico!
Tieni solo la bocca chiusa, e non parlare mai del piano
Per conquistare e controllare la vera anima dell'uomo

Vuoi - Paracadute dorato?
Oh oh oohoh
Vuoi - Paracadute dorato?

Questo è un tributo a tutte le tue qualità
Il progetto di un sistema che consenta tagli e incentivi fiscali

Vuoi - Paracadute dorato?

17 anni d'età, sviato da un cosiddetto paracadute
Giù per questa strada fredda
Dentro questa rete di inganni, ragni e serpenti e orsi
Soldi guadagnati ma mai spesi, mai nominati
Ah, facciamo un toast, all'ospite, all'uomo con il meglio
Loro ti adorano, tutti quanti sotto di te, applaudendo
Uno che in verità non ha creato nulla, nulla
In sostanza, una truffa!

Paracadute dorato

All you can hear is the sound of my voic
Everytime I touch your face
You will fall into a deep sleep
A deep sleep

You are the reason I believe that I was born
You're always there to hold me whenever I am scorned
I'd give my love to you, just to know your name
Shall I call you Savior just the same?

CHORUS
Hypnoparadise oh oh oh
Hypnoparadise oh oh oh

Am I in heaven or Hypnoparadise?
This must be heaven 'cause hell was never nice
I don't need permission to be happy every day
As long as I got a freak like you I'm straight

CHORUS

Oh paradise

Touch me I go under, any spell you choose
I don't mind the loss my dear, when it comes to you I'd lose
I can take them all to be wrong as long as you're all right
This is my destiny - Hypnoparadise
Paradise

CHORUS

You are the reason that I was born
You're always there babe when I am scorned
I'd give my life to you, just to know your name
My savior, every day

CHORUS

Hypnoparadise

CHORUS

Hypnoparadise

Tutto ciò che puoi sentire è il suono della mia voce
Ogni volta che ti tocco il viso
Cadrai in un sonno profondo
Un sonno profondo

Tu sei la ragione per cui credo di essere nato
Tu ci sei sempre per tenermi la mano ogni qual volta mi sento disprezzato
Darei la mia mano sinistra solo per sapere il tuo nome
Fa lo stesso se ti chiamo Salvatrice?

RITORNELLO
Ipnoparadiso oh oh oh
Ipnoparadiso oh oh oh

Sono in Cielo o nell'Ipno paradiso?
Questo dev'essere il Paradiso perché l'inferno non è mai stato bello
Non mi serve un permesso per essere felice ogni giorno,
finché ho un fenomeno come te, sono a posto

RITORNELLO

Oh paradiso

Toccami, rimarrò ammaliato da qualsiasi incantesimo tu scelga
Non mi importa della sconfitta, mia cara, quando si tratta di te, io perderò
Posso pensare che siano tutti in torto finché tu hai completamente ragione
Questo è il mio destino - Ipnoparadiso
Paradiso

RITORNELLO

Tu sei la ragione per cui sono nato
Tu ci sei sempre quando mi sento disprezzato
Darei la mia mano sinistra solo per sapere il tuo nome
Mia Salvatrice, ogni giorno

When the book is opened and The Son condemns them all
Pagan holidays,crucifixes
$100 tears will fall

All the ones still in the game

Egotists to proud to say the opposite of found
Worrying about the validity of the rulers crown
When everyone ought 2 be in line giving props 'N pounds

Once again when the money get tossed
Never gonna see npg floss
Keeping you happy is the only cost
Love God and everyone or your life will be lost
Listen to the words that will save every one

With CON as the prefix, suffix be the DOM
Look at them both and tell me something
What's in the Trojan Horse? Lubrication
Nothing goes in my woman except The Son

This is how we funk on the northside

This is how we funk on the northside
Players ain't gon' stop till it's sold
This is how we funk on the northside
2 get paid in the Moneyapple, got 2 be bold

When U cop your paper next Friday
This is what I want U all 2 do
Nevermind the vapor come up my way
We got something freaky 4 U

Never U mind what U find in the state of your mind
Your city or part of town
When U get up in the Moneyapple
Baby U got 2 get down
Down
Hey hey hey hey!

When U get tired of the Muzak
That's playin' on that no-funk radio
We gotta taste the bass that'll take your face 2 the Ace of Spades
U never ever thought your ugly face would go
Bass - tell ya one time

Never U cry when U buy a sample single
From the NPG got joints 4 days
Chart be gone we get it on stage, baby
Aftershow's on the Internet, players gettin' paid!

Hey, this is how we funk
Oh yeah
Hey, this is how we funk
Everybody say

With a bone 2 play
We can find the mayor
Talk about that piece of land
Fill a garden y'all
Fill a fan with some hand picked images like the man
Sweet potatoes like U never seen
Martin wasn't the only one that had a dream
Know what I mean?

This is how we funk on the Northside
Got 2 be bold

This is how we funk on the Northside

Artist - Somebody didn't hear me
Artist - Formerly known as Prince
You gotta get your peace on

CHORUS
Peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
And not to war

When the war upon people of color thru needles
Designed to disease instead of relieve
When it ceases
I'll be a man of peace
When this mask of vendetta
Like tears on the face of Coretta
Roll down and go away
I'll be happier
I'll be a man of peace

Everybody say!

CHORUS

When the time that we spend
Watching TV depends on
Whether or not it destroy or transcend
Then I won't need
Won't need a warranty
When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours
And the faces we see reflect all that we be indeed, there'll be a jubilee

Everybody say!

CHORUS

And not to war
Bass

The rewards that we share will be based on what's fair
And not the curliness or the thick of our hair
Real competition, if you dare!
Music is our middle name
And we don't wanna play your game
So when the mergers you make are with us
And you take a fair slice of the cake
That we bake then you break
That would be real cool
But y'all wanna act like fools!
Can't we all just get along?
And have peace, whoa oh

CHORUS

CHORUS

In case some of y'all didn't hear it right
I didn't call him, his name wasn't the artist
Artist, artist
Artist - Every syllable must be heard
Artist - Formerly known as Prince!
You got to get your peace in
Y'all tryin' to start something up in here

Artista - Qualcuno non mi ha sentito
Artista - Precedentemente noto come Prince
Devi portare dentro la tua pace

RITORNELLO
Pace, whoa oh
Pace
E' per questo che siamo qui
E non per fare la guerra

Quando la guerra tra la gente di colore fatta attraverso gli aghi
Concepiti per portare malattie anziché per dare sollievo
Quando questa cesserà, io sarò un uomo di pace
Quando questa maschera di vendetta
Come le lacrime sul viso di Coretta
Rotolerà giù e se ne andrà via
Io sarò più felice
Io sarò un uomo di pace

Tutti quanti, dite!

RITORNELLO

Quando il tempo che passiamo a guardare la TV dipenderà
dal fatto che essa distrugga o trascenda oppure no,
allora non avrò bisogno, non avrò bisogno della garanzia.
Quando il potere dell'ora non sarà tuo ma nostro
E le facce che vediamo rifletteranno tutto ciò che sarebbe, davvero, ci sarà un giubileo

Tutti quanti, dite!

RITORNELLO

E no alla guerra
Basso!

I premi che ci spartiremo saranno basati su ciò che è giusto
E non su quanto sono ricci o spessi i nostri capelli
Vera competizione, se ne avete il coraggio!
Musica è il nostro secondo nome
E noi non vogliamo partecipare al vostro gioco
Allora quando le fusioni che fate saranno con noi
E voi prenderete una fetta giusta della torta
Che abbiamo fatto noi
Allora sarebbe veramente una figata
Ma voi altri volete comportarvi come degli stupidi!
Non possiamo semplicemente andare tutti d'accordo?
E fare la, whoa ho

RITORNELLO

RITORNELLO

Nel caso qualcuno di voi non avesse sentito bene
Non ho chiamato lui, lui non si chiama l'artista
Artista, artista
Artista - Ogni sillaba deve essere udita
Artista - Precedentemente noto come Prince!
Devi portare dentro la tua pace
Voialtri state cercando di far partire qualcosa qua dentro

How can a non-musician discuss the future of music
From anything other than a consumer point of view?
These people make decisions 4 the bulk of us
Without consulting any of us
Sales and distributions of our futures, hah!
If this world were fair and right
They'd give up the car keys this very night
Damn!

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Flash 4ward, 2045
What did U stand 4 in the life of your prime
When faced with the final judgment of 2day
Who profited from the game (The game)
That U and your niggas play
Radical man - Save a life
Come on take a stand
Give that money back
Let's make a plan
The brand new currency
Taking care of one another
U and m

Flash backward, 1999
In a world shockful of viruses
How'd y'all stay alive?
Depending on this so-called man
4 everything U got comes from his hand
Food, water, the clothes you wear
How many of y'all niggas really care?
We don't care

Let's define this word: nigga
Someone who stays high
Watching their life go by
Someone content with riding it behind
Nigga
They come in all colors
White, Black, Puerto Rican
But the main niggas we speakin' 'bout
Wear suits and buy and sell corporations
With only one thing in mind
That is the destruction of the so-called radical man by 2045

Watch me now!

Schooled in the art of digital games
When the war broke out they called your name
Everyone of color put on the front line
Holocaust Avenue, 2009

Get an education, good job, who say?
Fool with the gold fronts drinkin' Alize
They don't play by the rules makin' no sense 2day
Gotcha online, so you think it's OK
Better built cellblock, Mos Def say
"That's where you gonna stay, nigga"

What's up y'all?
What y'all wanna do?
Ain't nobody up in that crew know
How 2 really run that computer
And make it flow
If U ain't born with it
U know, talkin' about the 2 and 4, hit me!

Come on
U know way down, huh
What George say? "Fall around"
All right

We claim Miles Davis, not Michaelangelo
We playin' D-flat in the funk
U better act like U know
We don't care, what Albert Einstein did
I'd rather know, rather know
How they built the pyramid, hey!
James Brown, Chuck D. and Jimi
Turn me up louder now
I don't think y'all hear me

2045 - We will stay alive
2045 - God is on our side

The whole pop scenario is just nothin' but a dream
The day U wake up is the day U get the real cream, nigga

Radical man
Who got the plan, who got the plan?
Radical man
Who got the plan, who got the plan?

This is the funk the industry most fears
All of us getting 2gether
In a locked board of directors
I don't think so
Ain't nobody runnin' this
It's all about DNA, nigga
Radical man

Where will U be in 2045?
30 million people right now are being wiped off the face of the planet
By a disease they claim has no cure
In the matter of a blinking eye, all of us right now can testify
Take a stand, radical man
Oh!

Scream one more time
Scream, scream one more time
Bless my soul, save my name
I ain't never goin' down to the daisy chain!

Just a young man tryin' to feel the flow
Got no idea what the chain is for
The lesson on the t.v. blush and bye
Cop a teeny whiplashed, but still he tries
Bless my soul, save my name

CHORUS
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up

Tell me now what's on the stereo
Funky like a junkie with corn rows
That's why your behind's so narrow
Switchen numbers with the video
Leave ya with a headache, no more fame

CHORUS

Girls gonna keep on givin' it up
A mouse to the trap, the cheese is up
A little bit of pleasure for the guilty pain
Think about it sister, now you're livin' in shame...
Gots no hips 2 vibrate
That's why you gets no page
Everyone of y'all suspect
I takes no blame
I writes no cheques
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!
Ahoo, ooh ooh ooh

I knew a dancer, her name was Kelly
Nickname Candy with a hoop through her belly
A tongue ring with a voice to sing
With a body like whooo, die peace, everything
See I used to deliver pizza to her house
But tonight she said, "Yo, Come in and chill out"
I came in, sat down, I was lookin' around
What I found, I found she was steppin' out a gown
I had to stop that girl in her tracks
I said let me tell you something by a guy that raps
Yo, why buy you if he can just lease you
Why iron you if he can just crease you
Why try you if he won't breed you
Why drive through if he won't eat you
Why V.I.P. you if he can nose bleed you
Ok, stop cryin'

Sorry, I'll leave you
Daisy chain

This will make your hips vibrate, make your hip vibrate
Make your hip vibrate, make your hip vibrate
Vibrate
Daisy chain
Leave you with a headache, daisy chain
Daisy chain
Alright, what's happenin'?
Minneapolis, do it till we die
Sugar cheezies

The message you're about to hear is not meant for transmission
Should only be access to the privacy of your mind
The words are intense so my dear if you dare to listen
Take off your clothes, meet me between the lines

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane?
Breast to lips to cheek to mane
I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain?
The only joy in this forsaken game
Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you

The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishin' for
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about to get freaky cause of places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no one, no man could ever find

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane?
Breast to lips to cheek to mane
I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain?
The only joy in this forsaken game
Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you

Il messaggio che stai per sentire non è fatto per essere trasmesso
Dovrebbe essere aperto solo nella privacy della tua mente
La parole sono intense, quindi mia cara, se osi ascoltare
Tolgliti i vestiti, incontrami tra le righe

Sei pronta per il tocco che ti rende pazza?
Dal seno alle labbra alla guancia alla zazzera
Ti tirerò i capelli, non sentirai male
Sei pronta per l'unica eternità che entambi otterremo?
L'unica gioia in questo gioco desolato
Ti sentirai peccatrice e consacrata
Quando poserò le mie mani su di te

Il tocco che stai per sentire è quello che hai desiderato
Era qui come un'eco nel tuo spazio e nel tuo tempo
Si tratta di sballare perché i posti che bacerò
Sono posti che nessun altro uomo potrebbe mai trovare

Sei pronta per il tocco che ti rende pazza?
Dal seno alle labbra alla guancia alla zazzera
Ti tirerò i capelli, non sentirai male
Sei pronta per l'unica eternità che entambi otterremo?
L'unica gioia in questo gioco desolato
Ti sentirai peccatrice e consacrata
Quando poserò le mie mani su di te

U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' 2 ball, U will fall, And never get a second look

Before me there was nothing
Without the 'eye' you cannot see
Just a form in the darkness
I brought the light and U believed
As everyone of my creation's
A future story that would be told
Try 2 change it up with temptation
But all your claims must be sold

4 every soul there's a buyer
4 every action there's a price
For every option there's a tryer
When the claim runs out, ain't nothing nice

That's why
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Trying 2 ball, U will fall, and never get a second look

Changed your name, it didn't suit ya
I did the same 4 a little while
The dare you love lead to revenue
In return - A Judas smile
What I am will never fade away
Like you been funky - It never be
What I am U will finally see
Then u will admit in 4-part harmony

U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Trying 2 ball, U will fall, And never get a second look

1979 times 2, or maybe you'll bid for that
Me, your sister and brother got paid when the man let 'em up to bat
Whaddya do, do U act like a fool and wonder why your people disown ya?
Sang in the song Mr. Charlie wanna sing, stick around here we don't know ya

They'd have to take me out
4 treating B like a B if she ain't one
And if she is it's no good like a rat in the hood we gonna give her a bible and then some
Come on!

The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion

Neopolitan born to rule
I never was fond of a dumb blonde
That can't swim in the carpool
Your secret's out da box, B
'Less you fess up to what you stole
Here's what we think - You're the weakest link
Get ready 'cause we coming with the Old School

Old School
Come on, Come on - Give it to me baby

Ahh Mr Aussieman, what makes ya think I'll work for U?
Paying 15 cents on the dollar?
Those are the wages of a fool, nigga
Pinocchio mentality, on levels more than 9
From now on the only piece you'll ever get from me's my mind

The chocolate invasion starts here

Now wait a minute
How dare you call a robot 'mecha'?
I knew that smack was jive
Step right up to the minstrel show
Starts in about 5 minutes
Confess these shuffling punks
Everyone claim they don't see 'em
Act the fool if you wanna
Guess the quickest way out is the way in

U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought you could put me down with a song that got no hook
The chocolate invasion starts here
No matter your colour you're still my brother If you've got no fear

The chocolate invasion starts here
U still our sister, although we missed ya
Come wipe away your tears

Peace 2 Common, 2 brother Curtis - Big love
Maceo, Erykah Badu

The chocolate invasion starts here

She arrived on a 747/About 20 to 11
She comes to see him, him as in me
She comes to see
And it's never complicated
Other women cannot fade it
Whenever I call
She gets dressed up and all
Supercute

Maybe it's cause she comes from East L.A.
But every time I see her body on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth
Strobe light flash and you know the truth
Baby got game, she'll take your loot
Keys to the crib with no dispute
See her dancing in her birthday suit - Supercute

Together we wonder how we got enslaved and why
Jericho falls when we all discern the lie
Yo, why the man wanna lie?
I look at her eyes go wild, she smiles - Supercute

On a dare I wanna see if she will share
The kinda toys she uses when I'm not there
None at all she swears
I don't care I make her buy another one
And a new dress to wear
Goes the toy against her curly hair
Now she must confess
How she really like to play
Or if she don't, I lower the speed
And bad words she'll say
Tell me how you play, how you play
Even in her anger she's still
Supercute

Shake it around
When you see her dancing in her birthday suit - Supercute

_

Wait a minute...
Turn the, turn the phones up
Yeah, cool

Lookin' out the window of the big black limousine
Thinkin' 'bout your thighs, wishin' I was somewhere in between
In one single motion, deep inside your ocean
I just wanna be, ooh

CHORUS
Underneath the cream
Can't stop thinkin' about your thighs
Somewhere in between
That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
Underneath the cream
U and I
Somewhere in between
Your thighs

Cell phone, passport, all your inhibitions
Spread out on the floor
Deep inside your life-givin' ocean, babe
Rests my consciousness just a little more

Is what I wanna do, baby

So talk 2 me
Don't get me started
Come into this wet dream-eternal
Pretend I am U and teach me without shame
Take my hand, put it in the place
That turned U out the most last time U came
Useless deliberation, the beast of frustration
Trust me, I know
Somewhere in between 7 days and nights
That's how far, baby
U wanna go?

CHORUS

Somewhere in between this wet dream, it seems
I never shoulda let U go
But now that U've returned I yearn 2 learn
All the feelings U never dared 2 show
Come into this wet dream eternal
Pretend I am U and uh, let's... oh!
Somewhere in between, I dreamed
Underneath the cream

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Whatcha waitin' on baby, tell me
We can do this thing, yeah
Underneath the cream
We need 2 get back down
Cuz I've got something
Groovy groovy groovy...
It's groovy underneath the cream

_

Sex me baby
Sex me not

CHORUS
Sex me baby
Sex me not
Come 2 the afterparty
Let's make it hot
Leave your sister & your underwear at home
Ain't gonna stop until everybody gone

Mmmm
Front row center
With the out-stretched hands
More chill around your wrist
Than the ice-cream man
Speaking of which
U say u like it
U say u like it when I scream
I like it when u do 2
Ooohhhh, uh huh

Looky here now
Ungh
Look at my hips
I'm about 2 do something
2 make your backbone slip
Ungh, ungh, ungh
And when I get through
U will be confused
Should u take another pill after morning?
Or play the fool?

CHORUS

Come & get happy
When I know u are here
Make you go down in the back of the bus
It's got a big ol' rear
Everybody that came 2 see me dance
Jump back, watch me, I'm about to wet your pants

Made a lot of money
Give it all 2 u
If u choose right
U can do what you're supposed 2 do
Fly, black pepper
Grind u, grind u please
Make a brother happy
On your knees
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hold me tight
Check the burn
And when the needle drop
The groove u gonna hear
Will never want 2 make u stop ya heard?

Everybody
Hot Hot Hot
Til everybody gone
What ' cha gonna do?
Sex me baby sex me not

'Cause if Eye do it's gonna b the last time

Eye never want to feel this way again
If Eye can't b a lover
Eye don't wanna b Ur friend, no
Eye don't wanna b friends, no

Eye don't wanna hold Ur hand
'Cause Eye just wanna follow U everywhere

Eye don't wanna c U dance

Of fallin' in love with U baby

'Cause if U ever said beautiful words 2 me
If Eye wanna b Ur fantasy, yes

Instrumental

Strumentale

Come on over here baby, uh
Put your ass right down here on this throne
Don't U say nary a little word
Until U learn how 2 leave, leave that devil alone
Let me run it down
I'd keep your paper coming in real steady
I could tell U what the "I" in the pimp stands 4
If U're ready, ready, ready
Your eyes are wide shut
U cannot even see
That behind your back, he calls U names
But U're still a queen 2 me

In this trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste in that paper chase
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
My heaven sent angel so divine
U're my complement
U make my sun shine
U make my sun shine at night

Listen 2 me, now baby, oh
Let me tell ya, tell ya what I gotta do
I gotta stop lettin' them devils
Stop lettin' 'em tell me what it takes 2 be a woman
Gotta never stop believing in me, myself, and I

Pretty little lies that the rich keep using
I opened up my eyes
The only reason they're winning is 'cuz I keep losing
Gotta get back 2 my rightful place
This is the subject of my song
The queen of the human race
This is where I belong

In this trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste in that paper chase
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
Heaven sent angel so divin
U're my complement
U make my sun shine at night

My lover, U're truly killing me
With the words I wish in every song
Come here now pretty baby let me take U somewhere
And put your real clothes back on
We've both been in the dark much 2 long
But now that we got the knowledge of the truth we can both be strong
Kings and queens gettin' it on!

Trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste
In that paper chase
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
My heaven sent angel so divine
U're my complement
U make my sun shine
U make my sun shine at night

Can U feel me?
Sun shine, sun shine, sun shine
Doobay doobay doobay doobay

The Rainbow Children

Musicology

So much anticipation
b4 this conversation
Such a long time

Like a meeting of 2 nations
A special occasion
Got us both tongue-tied

Lemme just say that I've respected U from a distance
In the time it took the others 2 say ur name, baby came magnificent

CHORUS
What I'm about 2 say will astound U
But I can only say when no one's around U
Magnificent
Magnificent - When it pounds U
Magnificent
The voice that U hear is the alchemy of ur mind

The 2 of us like stardust
We go back, yeah, we must
2 the dawning of all time

2 the nuclear reaction
The omnipresent satisfaction
The sweet and sticky kind

Regardless of what they say 2 U, the moment U hear me speak they're
Through
Like paradise, I'm so nice, I never lose my effect on U

CHORUS

Counting backwards
A thousand 2 1
Everything we do is so much fun
Do our time b4 time began
B4 I was a woman, b4 U were a man
B4 sex and race ever mattered
Tell me now do U understand?

CHORUS

Così tante previsioni
Prima di questa conversazione
Così tanto tempo

Come un vertice di due nazioni
Un'occasione speciale
Ci ritroviamo entrambi senza parole

Fammi solo dire che ti ho rispettata da lontano
Nel tempo che è servito agli altri per pronunciare il tuo nome, piccola sei, arrivata, magnifica

RITORNELLO
Quello che sto per dire ti stupirà
Ma posso solo dire, quando nessuno ti è intorno
Magnifica
Magnifica - Quando ti colpisce
Magnifica
La voce che senti è un'alchimia nella tua mente

Noi due come polvere di stelle
Ritorniamo, si, dobbiamo
All'alba dei tempi

Alla reazione nucleare
La soddisfazione onnipresente
Del tipo dolce e appiccicoso

Incurante di quello che ti dicono, nel momento in cui mi sentirai parlare, loro saranno
Spariti
Come il paradiso, sono così bello, non ho mai sprecato il mio affetto con te

RITORNELLO

Contando alla rovescia
Da mille a 1
Tutto quello che facciamo è talmente divertente
Facciamo il nostro tempo prima che il tempo sia cominciato
Prima io ero una donna, prima tu eri un uomo
Prima che il sesso e la razza avessero importanza
Dimmi adesso capisci?

RITORNELLO

"The United States Of Division"
2004... still at war
And everybody hates americans

Flying in an aeroplane we can't hang
Over miles and miles of deep blue
Wondering if it was all part of a master plan
Forget the one and become two

How could your brother hear the same music
Yet somehow dance to a different tune
I guess that once you go divide this precious land
This precious land will divide you

Sang
Do do do do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do do-do-doo
Do do do do-do-doo, doo
Everybody stop fighting

Do do do do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do do-do-doo
Do do do do-do-doo, doo
Everybody make love

Driving a brand new cadillac through the neighborhood
Everything still looks the same
Everything except the fact i wish i could
Take away all the hurt and pain

We let super fly straighten up our curly hair
We took the afro out the game
It's kinda cool but the guns and drugs too much to bear
Ten years later scarface came

Sing the hook
Do do do do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do do-do-doo
Do do do do-do-doo, doo
Everybody stop fighting

Do do do do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do do-do-doo
Do do do do-do-doo, doo
Everybody make love

The united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is one
People can slam their door, disagree and fight it
How you gonna love the father but not love the son

United states of division

Walking down the street no flag in hand
No stars and stripes, no claim to land
No crescent moon, just a holy man, holy man

How far from heaven must we go
Before the winds of change will blow and show
This world how it's supposed to be
Land of peace and harmony

C'mon
Everybody stop fighting
Everybody make love
Everybody stop fighting
United states of division

people can slam their door, disagree and fight it
How you gonna love the father but not love the son

Love me while you watch the time
And if I falter, oh, lose my rhyme
You will drop me like a useless dime
'Cause you ain't no friend of mine

Steer me wrong and drop me off
From my swan dive to a belly flap?
The shallow waters that flirt your heart
Will I ever keep us apart

You never cease to amaze me
Though sometimes I just don't understand, no, no
The chances you took to play your hand
But you never took my love when it was here

My heart has been thrown away a thousand times
Like a fay fruit upon the vine
The shine it promised that fades with time
But the seeds are sawn and the hope defined

Such a sad way to lose someone, oh yes it is
To live by better said than done
The song and dance that hide your gun
From those who buy the silver from your tongue

And you never cease to amaze me
Sometimes I just don't understand, I don't
The chances you took to play your hand
But you never took my love when it was here

The song and dance that hide your gun
From those who buy the silver from your tongue

Who will be a guest in ur tent? (*)
Certainly not the 1s who don't wanna repent
And keep giving guns to the poorest of our nation's sons
Who is gonna call U by name?
With no confusion, trinity or preachers vain?
Who says that everytime
And opens up the eyes of the blind?
Who will be the 1 in his bed?
Certainly not the 1s who put the thorns on his head
And wished him dead while they took his daily bread
Which 1 is of value 2 U?
The 1 depleting the oil supply
Or the One that renews it
And keeps the peace...
Like the groove in Sade's "Sweetest Taboo"

Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest

Can I groove a little?
Let me groove a little bit

Who will be a guest in ur tent?
R U gonna be happy with how your life is spent?
Did you have open arms for each and everybody U met?
Did U let them die in the rain?
Endless war, poverty or hurricane...
It's time for another groove...
Like Sade's "Sweetest Taboo"

Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest

Come on, come on

Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me
The Sweetest
Oh, yeah

Turn it right down
Be cool, everybody

(*) Salmo 15-1 (Salmo di Davide): O Jehovah, who will be a guest in your tent? Who will reside in your holy mountain?

Chi sarà ospite nella tua tenda?
Certo non coloro che non si vogliono pentire
E continuano a dare armi ai più poveri tra i figli della nostra nazione
Chi ti chiamerà per nome?
Senza confusione, trinità o inutili predicatori?
Chi lo pronuncia sempre
E apre gli occhi ai ciechi?
Chi sarà quello nel suo letto?
Certo non quelli che gli hanno messo le spine in testa
E gli hanno augurato di morire mentre gli prendevano il suo pane quotidiano
Qual'è che vale per te?
Quello che esaurisce le riserve di petrolio
O Colui che le rinnova
E mantiene la pace...
Come il groove in "Sweetest Taboo" di Sade

Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce
Dammelo, dammelo
Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce

Posso andare un po' col groove?
Lasciami fare un altro po' di groove

Chi sarà ospite nella tua tenda?
Sarai felice di come hai speso la tua vita?
Hai spalancato le braccia a tutti quelli che hai incontrato?
O li hai lasciati morire nella pioggia?
Guerra infinita, povertà o uragani...
E' ora di un altro groove...
Come "Sweetest Taboo" di Sade

Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce
Dammelo, dammelo
Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce

Dai, dai

Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce
Dammelo, dammelo
Dammelo, dammelo
Il più dolce
Oh, si.

Abbassa
Calmatevi, tutti
