[ Tshawe Baqwa ]
Oooooh
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin'

Beggin, beggin you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin, beggin you
Put your loving hand out darlin'

Ridin high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast, cause I had everything
Walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go
And it would end

[ Yosef Wolde-Mariam ]
---?

[ Tshawe Baqwa ]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darlin

[ Yosef Wolde-Mariam ]
I need you, (yeeah) to understand
Tried so hard
To be your man
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

[ Tshawe Baqwa ]
An empty shell
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/OCkG ]
I used to be
Shadow of my life
Was hangin over me

A broken man
Without a throne
Wont even stand the devils dance
To win my soul

[ Yosef Wolde-Mariam ]
---?

[ Tshawe Baqwa ]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darlin

[ Yosef Wolde-Mariam ]
Im fighting hard
To hold my own
No, I just cant make it
All alone

Im holdin on
I cant fall back
Now that big brass ring
Is a shade of black

[ Tshawe Baqwa ]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darlin

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darlin

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Beggin, beggin you
Put your loving hand out darlin

You’re the first thing I would choose,

You’re the first thing I would choose,
but the last thing I need.
You’re a liar.
Liar.

You’re the first thing I would choose,
but the last thing I need.
Girl I’m stuck on you,
it’s so hard to set me free.
You’re the first thing I would choose,
but the last thing I need.
’cause you’re a liar.
Liar.

(The first thing I’d choose, the last thing I need)
(The first thing I’d choose, the last thing I need)

Liar.

Hard Too Read

[No lyrics]

. . .


I remember how it all began
I used to sing dirty raps to my east side fans
Back then I knew ya couldnt stop this rap
No m.c. could rock like that
Then the new style came, the bass got deeper
Ya gave up the mike and bought you a beeper
Do ya wanna rap or sell coke?
Brothers like you aint never been broke
People wanna say its just my time
Brothers like me had to work for mine
Eight years on the mike and Im not jokin
Sir too short comin straight from oakland
California, home of the rock
Eight woofers in the trunk, beatin down the block
Short dog, Im that rappin man
I said it before and I ll say it again

Life is too short
Too short
Life is too short

Life is to some people unbearable
Committin suicide and thats terrible
Was it much too much or nothing big?
If ya live my life, youd be fightin to live
Life is to me my main asset
I be doin all right and keep it just like that
Chill out at the house and pump that bass
Im tryin to get rich as I rock the place
Everybodys got that same old dream
To have big money and fancy things
Drive a brand new benz, keep your banck right here
Never hear me stutter once because I talk real clear
Its on you, homeboy, watcha gonna do?
You can take my advice and start workin, fool
Or you can close your ears and run your mouth
And one day, homeboy, ya soon find out

Life is too short
Too short
Life is too short

Life is too short, would you agree?
While Im livin my life, dont mess with me
Its been a long time, baby, since I first got down
But I still keep makin these funky sounds
Cause I dont stop rappin, thats my theme
I make a lot of money, do you know what I mean?
Like this, complicated ya must stay up
Ya asked a simple question boy, dont say what?
Ya only live once and ya callin it hell
Policeman tryin to take ya to jail
You could give a man time but you dont know
I a matter of time, Ill be runnin the show
Now another young buck wants to be on top
Makin big money, slangin hop
The task force tryin ta peel your cap
Turn around, homeboy, ya better watch your back

Life is too short
Too short
Life is too short

You can take back all the things you give
But ya cant take back the days you live
Life is to some peole whove been on earth
Livin every single day for what its worth
I live my life just how I please
Satisfy one person I know, thats me
Work hard for the things I achieve in life
And never rap fake when Im on the mike
Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy
Ya gotta turn that dream into the real mccoy
Not time to waste, just get on that case
Ya cant be down cause ya need to taste
A good life livin like a king on a throne
Gettin everything ya want and tryin to have all your own
So life
Dont be stupid though
Cause when ya waste it, youll know

Life is
Life is
All right, thats it

. . .


(Intro skipped)
I see more than a little seen the lows and the middle and the top
You see I been to my wrongs been shooting the long shots and they didn't give me what I got
But now that I'm a little bit older, got a little bit colder, got a little to my name
so I gotta move on and make this work and I steady gotta better my ways

Excuse me, I constantly step over the line like there's a lot more there to see
A little cocktail drink and champagne wine and then I'm acting unorderly
and it doesn't even seem to matter how much I try still end up in the same places
and I wake in a haze and I turn around and I see this strange face cuz

(CHORUS)
The way we do thangs
is a little bit unorthodox
The way we do thangs
make your motherfucking jaws drop
The way we do thangs
is a little bit unorthodox
you see cuz The way we do thangs
make motherfucker call the cops

cuz we always in the mix of things, got shit to say cuz you piss me off
But y'all I'm trying to be a peaceful man doing decent thangs cuz I need to be somebody

I'm trying hard, you know, I'm trying harder
I'm trying hard, you know, to be the shepherd
I'm trying hard, you know, I'm trying harder
I'm trying hard, you know, to be the shepherd
(END CHORUS)

Oh, what a cold day in hell that it'll be
when my tendencies get rid of stupidity
and the unstability really gets me jittery
dealing with business and politically
incorrect methods of madness, man
I just concentrate on what matters, man
and they all look and say that man's demented
cuz the way I go about it is a tad eccentric

I'm that little kid always chasing the love and never thinking about who it'll be
I never check that first when I hit that skirt to the rhythm of the boogie to be
My mama told me, check where your heart is at,
you see the hitter come running when the hard is back
you ain't a kid no more, better conjure sack (?) like you know someone told my mom

(CHORUS)

We go against the grain, we don't obey the rules, we gotta O and O (?)
The way we playin the game is how we do the do when y'all don't know
We cannot fuck around we gotta call money (?)
Buckle down to move around the world
(x2)

(CHORUS)

[Intro - Tshawe]
That feelin' I get from your eyes, that feelin I get from your smile

[verse 1 - Tshawe]
Not many people have been this blessed naw
on the contruri most people livin' in endless stress
hopenin to share a child withchu when the time is due
finnaly I get to live a life withchu
instead of talkin for awhile that we always do
laughing and sometimes I hear crying to shit!

I know exactly what I rather do pappy one of the half
come over gladly and have your moms tell how you made a damn mistake
fall in love with a man unfaihtfull as a trail
I can't understand but lately I've been damned
you don't know whatchu got until it's gone
and got again I tresure you more then ever
like you bought my lence better I'm molin
I'm in a boalin blessed tellin the world for all the wetness
on knees had to get it of my heart cause it's hard to breath

[Chorus - Tshawe]
I've been blessed cause I've been blessed that feelin I get from your kiss
that feelin I get from your legs I've been blessed I've been blessed
that feelin I get from your eyes that feelin I get from your smile

[verse 2 - Yosef]
Not to many people have been this blessed I'm talkin about that lovin
givin you that feelin of make that strech when yall playin that part
so part I did and ma gave you heart with all that's left
cause I love all your talkin feel your person or could we double the force
I'm meanin more drama but harbe girl ima made you a onuer my heart
set stakes so I'm playin whit karma-aha laughing on the phone
or such meldin pics from my trips on a coffie mug I was sick when
I lost you
once you the only on my heart you the only one and please bealive the
need to feel a real of love for me to feel as real of love and when you
told me you loved me I was num in the cheeks that's how I knew that I...

[Chorus - Tshawe]
I've been blessed I've been blessed that feelin I get from your kiss
that feelin I get from your legs I've been blessed I've been blessed
that feelin I get from your eyes that feelin I get from your smile

[verse 3 - Tshawe]
I remember the first time we ever met you said you wasn't the best
and why is everybody talkin about a kid and a couple years went of
and here we is talkin about a future and shit sharing a crib
amoung other things I miss you whenever distance and pisses me of
wasn't the first one there that take you in a sence weight
that shit hurts me still but I deserve it for hurtin your feelings
back then but nins I'm still tryna find my way's
and man if you know what it mean I ain't tryin blame no names
in the fes I'm tryin to talk you or understand
I'm tryin to say what I meant way back when I was...

[Chorus - Tshawe]
I've been blessed I've been blessed that feelin I get from your kiss
that feelin I get from your legs I've been blessed I've been blessed
that feelin I get from your eyes that feelin I get from your smile.
