[Bilal]
La da da di.. la da da di..
Hey... livin in the fast lane
Drivin fast 'broads'
With them fast 'chains'
When you pimpin through life
See some people get caught up
And some charges brought up
With some people they shoot up
Hey.. there it goes again
Different face to the same old tragic end
Who's to blame if he never saw it commin
Yet he heard the bullet hummin
And he never though of runnin
It's too late for him now layin out on the ground so cold.. so cold
Nothin much to live up to.. damn
It's so far gone.. so gone

Livin in the fast lane
Drivin fast broads
With you fast chains
When you pimpin through life
See some people got caught up
With some charges brought up
From some people they shoot up
Hey.. tell me when will it end
When the baby pays for its mothers sinnin
Trapped inside the four walls of a 'penty'
Way too strong.. way too strong
Now shes out in the cold, dying slow and the spoon still warm


[Jadakiss]
It started when they birthed me
Runnin round stuck in the project now he cant wait to the first come
Little older now and cant wait till the dope come
Sleep all these years and nobody awoke him
Getting it so he can cover the whole border
Question is how many of us can hold water
It seemed like tellin is in
Signed states get an order of protection and tell him again
I'm a left lane
My life is much faster than yours
I'm with a chick and its attached to a brawl
Got the air ones matchin the car
All white.. slingin all night
So we rapidly spar
Thats what they wanna clap at me for
Understand that the flow is like the coke that he naturally grows
So I'ma get my cash on, and my mash on
And get my ass up out of the fast lane

[Bilal]

Livin in the fast lane
Drivin fast broads
With you fast chains
When you pimpin through life
.. got caught up
And some charges brought up
From some people you shoot up

. . .


(Mos Def)
Yo
Just when I think that I've forgot you
I hear that thug that we used to rock to
Just When I think I'm gettin' on without you
Somebody Passed and asked me about you

Was in the back of the cab the other day
Swear to God I saw you walking passed the other way
My heart rushed, my face flushed
Tell the driver hit the breaks slow the pace up
Wait up, It wasn't you
Realised it's a mirage I was running to
Damn, can the affects of Love and time
Cause the mind to trick the eye?
I wonder how you gettin' by
And all the stars still in your eyes
But you still just get the five
You break the bank to spend the time
I reminisce of shifting time, to when you was mine

(Bilal)
Years ago, in a mist of hallways and sliding doors
Missing links of family very obscure
Vision of you shine
But only for a short time
My mistake I didn't pick up on it till years down the
line

Here now as I (reminisce) reminisce, will I ever see
your face again?
(In-fect-ion)
Baby as I lay back (reminisce) will I ever see your
face again.
(In-fect-ion)
As I reminisce (fect-ion)
as I reminisce (In-fect-ion)

(Bilal) (Common)
Hold still (uh)
The devine has placed us
In a small world (yes)
And thankfully so (Thank God)
Our paths cross once more
And to whose surprise but mine
Was 14th and 6th was the placed where we combine once
more
There at the front door of the cornor store you stood.


(reminisce)
I reminisce Infection
(In-fect-ion)
as I lay back (reminisce) will I ever see our face
again
(In-fect-ion)
As I reminisce (In-fect-ion)
As I reminisce (In-fect-ion)

A happy story always ends
As it starts
But with few exceptions involved
We became an item
(Me For You)
Me for you and
(You For Me)
You for me
(Through Good Times and Bad Times)
Good times
(Sickness And Health)
Sickness and health
(Broke ass and richness)
Broke ass, and richness, baby we made it work

(Common)
Yes Sir
Yo I reminisce over this chick
Colder than a soda
Princess a soldier
Raised in Islamic culture
Sexy as the girl on the Jamaica poster
Men are over seas where there really don't be no
sistas
Brought her on stage as Bilal sang "Soul Sista"
In body parts the blood was thicker
Sweet only tryna make sure it ain't the liquor
She was with a nigga come to find out
She and Sista backstage, conversation kissed her
Made me forget to remember that I pimp the dime
Put the pimpin' aside I see Kenya in her eye
Our connection lies in a life before
For us to meet again was devine law
So I can't describe how deep I dug her
Now only in memory can I hug her
I reminisce y'all

Oh my God

(Intro)
This is a song that makes me spill out all my guts
Sometimes

Sometimes, I wish I wasn't me
Sometimes, I wish I was drug free
Sometimes, wish I saw the exit sign first
Sometimes, wish I knew the truth without search
Sometimes, I wish I could go where I never been
See what I never saw, do what I never did
Or walk before I could crawl

Sometimes, I wish my eyes wasn't so red
Sometimes, I wish I had breakfast in bed
Sometimes, I mean it's worth it
Since I did all the work last night
Sometimes, you ain't good to me, yes
I am good to you
And you don't see my attention the way that I do

Sometimes, hey slim, you should be nicer than you are
Sometimes, you take that complaining shit way too far
I mean, I thought it was cute in the beginning but now
I think you only do it 'cause you know I hate it
Sometimes, you got me wishing I didn't have home training
Sometimes, then it wouldn't hurt me so bad
With dreams of knocking you in your head
Then it wouldn't hurt me so bad
With our kitchen knife put up your ass

Sometimes, wish I knew life with no pain, yeah
Wish I held the keys to this game
Sometimes, I pretend 'cause I'm afraid to be, afriad to be
Sometimes, I hope I live to see twenty five


Sometimes, I wish I could be like Moses
Round up my people, move out the ghetto
And live a better life
Sometimes, I wish I didn't try so hard
Sometimes, who knows truth any way
They don't know nothing, who needs that approval

The sun in your hands player
Move at your own pace, listen to your own mind
Do your own thing, yeah yeah
I'm saying it because I love ya
And I wanna grow with you, yeah yeah
But you wanna run in the other direction
So I got to stay on my path until I win
I win, I win, I win
I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win

Oh sometimes, sing it with me I wish
(I wish in love) And I wish, oh I wish
(I wish in peace) Oh sometimes
(I wish in hope) I wish hope
(I wish true) I wish true
(I wish clearly) Hey I wish so clearly sometimes
(Wish with no fear) I wish with no fear
(I have no fear) I have no fear
(Have no doubt) I have no doubt
(I don't doubt) I don't doubt
(Have no doubt) No, I don't doubt
(Have no doubt, I wish love)
I wish love, hey hey

Ad lib until fade

Verse 1
It's all in her eyes
you and me
Words just disguise
all the things that you be

What is deep
it's deeper than deep
So only it knows
this kind of vibe
gets stronger in time

Won't go on unnoticed
So concrete can't hold this
Hearts filled righteously

Whatever it is
I know that it's real
Long as you know
No complaints
you're all that I feel

CHORUS
Si-sta-soul
(You must be my soulsista, soulsista)
Si-sta-soul
(Hey sis, you must be my soulsista, soulsista)
Si-sta-soul
(Hey sis, you must be my soulsistaaa)
Si-sta-soul

Verse 2


You are so fine
(Like spaces that fall in my soul)
See baby that has no rhyme
Do you like how it feels
when I smoke you out
head down to your toes
Making you scream and shout
You must be my soulsista, soulsista

CHORUS
Si-sta-soul X6

Music...

(Hey baby can I talk to ya)
Can I love you in the right way (Way)
(PLEASE)
Soul
(HOLD)
Baby I want to
(LOVE)
You know baby I want to
(LOVE)
In the right way
(HOLD)
Cause you're my
(SOUL)
Sista, baby you are
(MY)
All I wanna do is
(LOVE)

Fade out

. . .


Three in the morning
Tossin n turnin its late
Just cant rest waiting for the phone to ring
Will you call ring my phone
Girl I hope you did not forget
I cant sleep and I cant eat
And I wont until I hear your voice

When will you call

Three days ago
Rolled over to an empty bed
And I went to the bathroom
And your toothbrush wasn't there
Wheres your clothes
And wheres your shoes
Girl what would I do without you
I cant sleep and I cant eat
And I wont until I hear your voice

When will you call

No notice no letter
You just packed your shit and left
Girl I deserved better
I treated you like no one else
How could you
You know I loved you
And I thought this love was truer

Now we're threw
What Im gonna do
Gotta start a new life without you (repeat)

When will you call
Been rackin my brain all night and all day
Waitin for your call
Waitin for your call
Waitin for your call
Baby waitin for ya
To just say the word in my ear
Let me know that you're here forever
Baby baby baby call me
When you get a chance call me
Call me call
When will you call
(ad libs)
When will you call
Now we're threw
And Im without you

. . .


If I could block the moon and rob the sun from the sky
My love for you would still shine through me somehow
And If the rain won't fade away
My love would still soar

I love you... girl and I know it shows
I can't deny the joy I've found
And when I'm at my wits end
You say a word that gives me peace within

Queen of Sanity from sanity of sanity
My soul is what you've touched
I love... you
And I know it shows
How do you run this race and never lose your pace?

(You're the queen of sanity)
Cold breath of night
Calm voice of morning
(You're the queen of sanity)
Warm embrace of day
What more can I say?
(You're the queen of sanity)
I'd forget life, whenever I hold you tight
(You're the queen of sanity)
Girl I love you so and I'm never gonna let you go...

Wooooooo... yeah
(music plays)

My soul, my soul is what you've touched
And I know it shows
How, How do you run this race and never miss a beat, never lose your pace?

(You're the queen of sanity)
Cold breath of night
Calm voice of morning
(You're the queen of sanity)
Warm embrace of day
What more can I say?
(You're the queen of sanity)
I'd forget life, whenever I hold you tight
(You're the queen of sanity)
Girl I love you so and I'm never gonna let you go...

. . .


Grow... grow... grow... grow

As we step from across the room
Started to ponder what we've been going through
What does my kiss mean to you?
Are we just friends or is there more to you?

But if we label this, just picture what we might lose
That unexpected kiss of fullfillment that brought me to you

Why rush why chose?
Why rush this thing and ruin me and you?
I want to love her and keep it fresh
I wanna be near you and not pretend.

But if we label this, just picture what we might lose
That unexpected kiss of fullfillment that brought me to you

(spoken word... love poems)

Grow... grow... grow... grow

But if we label this, just picture what we might lose

. . .


I found you wearing satin, the shade of ebony
In the silence of my dreams you kept me company
On this secluded island our bodies seem to melt
Intoxicating, overwhelming intensity

You're the one that I've been searching for
No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are all

I sketch you to observe you, a smeared reality
Now you're draped in chocolate, tasty opportunity
To place you, take time to rest you on some mantel piece
Ignite you, take time to, and everything in between

You're the one that I've been searching for
No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are all

You're the one that I've been searching for
No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are all

To me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Those frowns, those frowns, do what you do

To me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Those frowns, do what you do

To me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Sexy, do what you do
Do what you do
Do what you do

To me you read clearly
Poet, you've got me
You've got me
