You Will Know
Lonely one of young so brokenhearted Travelling down the rigid road of life Using pharmaceutical extractions To find the paradise Finds the high but comes down feeling lower Gets down on their knees and starts to pray Looking up to heaven for the answer They hear a voice that says You will know Troubled heart you'll know Problems have solutions Trust and I will show You will know Troubled heart you'll know Every life has reason For I made it so Single parent trying to raise their children But they would much rather not alone Reaches out to find that special someone To make their house a home Finds someone but no one is the right one Gets down on their knees and starts to pray Looking up to heaven for the answer They hear a voice that says You will know Troubled heart you'll know Problems have solutions Trust and I will show You will know Troubled heart you'll know Every life has reason For I made it so You will know Troubled heart you'll know Problems have solutions Trust and I will show You will know Troubled heart you'll know Every life has reason For I made it so
Dark'n'Lovely
There is a place On heart's motherland Where a people Die in bantu stands Manchild at eight Will face guns of hate Womanchild's fate Is life second rate Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely They do a dance Called Mbaqana jive Rainbow people Dancin' to stay alive After hours Party hand in hand After Shebeen Terror strikes again Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely The whole planet's watchin' And the Sun God is watchin', too Hey there Botha Yes, we are watcin' you Spirits can do Jah will stop this reign Watch our world turn To help those in pain Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Just because they're dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
In Your Corner
I hear tell there's big fun tonigh On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite Friday midnights would not be right Without Redd's hot party and a nasty fight But I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do You can't renege cause its goin' be live Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind Now where we're goin' they don't like your kind But they'll cool when you tell them you're a friend of mine 'Cause I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do You can't tell your pa and mama Where we're goin' til after we've been there 'Cause that might make their poor heads worry And worrying can cause grey hair And one thing just might lead to another And if there's any trouble they'll blame it on me I think we just might have two to go The prettys lookin' over here from the middle of the floor We'll make a b-line to Hotel La Sin Where you'll do the talkin to get us in And I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do We shoulda been long gone 'cause this place is hot 'Cause in the corner there are two brothers who are undercover cops If they stop us for questioning mum is the word 'Cause a question not answered is a answer not heard And I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do You can't tell your pa and mama Where we're goin' til after we've been there 'Cause that might make their poor heads worry And worrying can cause grey hair And one thing just might lead to another And if there's any trouble they'll blame it on me
With Each Beat of My Heart
Honey, sweet I've got something to say to you in privacy Something I'd like for you to hear And only your ears alone Secretly I've been admiring you intensely So much so I'd like to settle down with you And make a home You are my first breath My first smile And my morning cup of tea Yours is the love That I pray for Before I go to sleep From the time I saw your face I knew no other could erase My loving you with each beat of my heart Until the day I heard your speak I didn't know that sound was sweet Me hearing you with each beat of my heart There's a time when playing ends And the serious begins Like the love that I felt from the start With each beat of my heart Honey, sweet I soared into a heaven's galaxy So hypnotized was I From seeing all the magic in your eyes So I bring To you what's been a lifetime fantasy O f being with the only one who can Create my paradise You are my first breath My first smile And my morning cup of tea Yours is the love That I pray for Before I go to sleep From the time I saw your face I knew no other could erase My loving you with each beat of my heart Until the day I heard your speak I didn't know that sound was sweet Me hearing you with each beat of my heart There's a time when playing ends And the serious begins Like the love that I felt from the start With each beat of my heart There's a time when playing ends And the serious begins Like the love that I felt from the start With each beat of my heart
One of a Kind
There we were two lonely souls Existing from day to day Feeling love would never Come our way Watching lovers share their bliss Sadly wishing only if Believing that we had to live Life like this But like a bolt of lightning As when two stormy clouds collide We made a joyful happening To our lives Now we're happy as can be Me loving you and you loving me Two hearts intertwined Wich makes us one of a kind Feeling the charge of a love evermore Knowing that love is enough to live for It feels so fine Sharing love one of a kind One of a kind now baby Your love and mine One of a kind, sweet darling The only way love is meant to be United love so fine Living in love one of a kind It feels nothing but fine Sharing our love one of a kind If we had a second chance At living a second time We'd change everything but our love In our lives 'Cause like a big disaster Lost in a never-ending night We light a light of magic Made everything right Now we're happy as can be Me loving you and you loving me Two hearts intertwined Wich makes us one of a kind Feeling the charge of a love evermore Knowing that love is enough to live for It feels so fine Sharing love one of a kind One of a kind, now baby Your love and mine, such ecstasy One of a kind, sweet darling The only way love is meant to be
Skeletons
Skeletons in your closet Itchin' to come outside Messin' with your conscience In a way your face can't hide Oh things are gettin' real funky Down at the old corral And it's not the skunks that are stinkin' It's the stinkin' lies you tell What did your mama tell you about lies She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one What did your daddy tell you about lies He said one white one turns into a black one So, it's gettin' ready to blow It's gettin' ready to show Somebody shot off at the mouth and We're gettin' ready to know It's gettin' ready to drop It's gettin' ready to shock Somebody done turned up the heater An'a it's gettin' ready to pop Crevices in your pantry Now what do we have in here Havin' a daytime nightmare Has always been your biggest fear Oh things are gettin' real crucial Up the old wazoo Yet you cry, why am I the victim? When the culprit's y-o-u What did your mama tell you about lies She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one What did your daddy tell you about lies He said one white one turns into a black one So, it's gettin' ready to blow It's gettin' ready to show Somebody shot off at the mouth and We're gettin' ready to know It's gettin' ready to drop It's gettin' ready to shock Somebody done turned up the heater An'a it's gettin' ready to pop It's gettin' ready to seep You're gettin' ready to freak Somebody done picked up the talk box We're gettin' ready to speak It's gettin' ready to jive You're gettin' ready to gel Somebody done gone let the lid off We're gettin' ready to smell They're gettin' ready to deal You're gettin' ready to ill Somebody done just dropped the big dime And they're gettin' ready to squeal It's gettin' ready to turn We're gettin' ready to learn Somebody done fired up the brimstone And you're gettin' ready to burn It's gettin' ready to shake You're gettin' ready to ache Somebody done snitched to the news crew And it's gettin' ready to break You're gettin' ready to lie They're gettin' ready to spy Somebody's been put on the hot seat And you're gettin' ready to fry
