I hate these gangsta singers

*baby crying*
*sirens*

(Missy)

Dont you ever interrupt me when I'm listening to a Monica record

(Crowd)

Ohhhhhh

(Missy)

Yeah
Straight out the slumming streets of A-T-L
I know you waited for her arrival
through the hurricanes, torandoes, and thunderstorms
The climate has now changed
And the storm is now over
I repeat the storm is now over
Let us begin
Hey yo Monica turn the volume up

(featuring DirtBag & Missy Elliott)

[Missy]
Hol up, jol Up
Big show DJ's
This joint so crazy put the needle back on the record let's do a double take

[DirtBag]
Now listen baby I'm a dirt bag
I don't know the different faces, I cant take it
But I got a jeep, so you lead and I'll follow
Lunch up in a diner, if ya act right we dine in the Bahamas
Now wow lil momma, im a gangsta
Anywhere ya wanna go imma take ya
Oh my god you caught my eyes like from 20 yards
You so damn fine
Listen I don't eat peaches but the way you look to night
I just might take a bite
Come closer, feel that
It's a woman and a man and a latex
Out the shower, hotel flowers on the bed,
Choice of wine white or red
What more can I say
Monica, DirtBag, ATL MIA

[Monia]
You remember when I was just a young one
And I was to afraid to quickly let you show me thangs
Not sure if I was ready for some good love, and I'm bout to set it off
Can you please be gental cuz I am the fragile kind
And even tho I'm ready for the move of my time
Now buckle up yo seat while I set it off

Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off
Set it off, Set it off
All it takes is one phone call, if you wanna get it on
Set it off, Set it off

I know your anxious but please lets make a compromise
I'm so energized All in my neck my back my thighs
Make sure the lock is safe before I set it off

Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off
Set it off, Set it off
All it takes is one phone call, if you wanna get it on
Set it off, Set it off

Now I'mma set it , you can tell them Mo said it
And you betta not forget it, now don't sweat it
And we can really go at it, if you let it let's protect it
Now I bet it be good is you ready
But the jump of heavy, my style varies
The club down I shut it, how I do it
I set it

Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off
Set it off, Set it off
All it takes is one phone call, if you wanna get it on
Set it off, Set it off

In an unmarked car

You make me {You make me feel}
Whoa and I love you to love you, baby, I {So gone},

Nights I couldn't sleep, uh

And not think to call
What does she have over me
To make him not think to call home

{You make me feel}
You make me feel I'm so gone {So gone}, oh...
You make me {You make me feel}
Whoa and I love you to love you, baby, I {So gone},

Some times I have to fight 'cause my mouth too slick
Baby, why you doing me like I ain't worth this s***
Make me wanna ride passed your house and sit
Kick down your door and smack your chick
Just to show you Monica not having it
So in love with you like a drug habit get

Is it real or forever
Baby, please can't we stay together (Is it real or

Thanks to Cedrick for submitting the
lyrics

Verse 1:
I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spress in L.A. or Melrose
Boy if you didn't know it, well now you know
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I've been holding us down on my own
You Know

Chorus:
I'm never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why I've kept it real
And why I'm still with you

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've know better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known that your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better

Verse 2:
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it, who comes to see you
Every Saturday and Monday I was on, on
It's me your girl, your life, your world
My family and friends, they just don't understand
They say I should leave you alone
But I say that they should all just leave us alone
Don't you get it?

Chorus:
I'm never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why I've kept it real
And why I'm still with you

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've know better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known that your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better

Guitar Solo

Refrain:
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've know better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known that your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You should've known better

(featuring DMX)

[DMX]
Ain't no sense whining about it now
I mean we knew what it was when we became apart of it, feel me

[Monica]
Yeah

[DMX]
It's Like

[Monica]
There's something on your mind, I can see right through you
I know your girl been treating you wrong
But she ain't no good for you, why do u hold it inside
Boy you should let me know, I just want to make you right
Be the one you could cry on

[DMX]
Baby, its like Baby, it's like I love my wife
We going through things and I ain't going home tonight
You got time for a nigga or is he still with you
Wanna meet at the same spot or should I come get you
I'll be there in 10, be in the front
I been getting what I need so imma give you what you want
One on one cuz you know how to talk to dog
You walk the dog and understand that New York is hard

[Monica]DMX)
You ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
(I ain't goin nowhere when you wake up I'm gonna be right there)
Don't you worry bout a thing (I ain't worried about shit)
You're here with me
(Look It's like I love my wife
We going through things and I ain't going home tonight alright)

[Monica]
It's kinda strange when you call she is never home
Now your there all alone and you deserve so much more
Baby, I can treat you better than she can
It doesn't make sense to keep on loving and keep on trusting
When in return all you get is nothing

[DMX]
Damn, you got me fucked up and I'm feeling it more
Never had a mistress distressed before
Come on ma, like it ain't that deep
Like there ain't no love there like I don't hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each others arms
And I feel like this is where I belong
And if loving you is right then I ain't wrong
This is the same ol' song, wife and fam
Gotta be a father and husband but I am still ya man
Baby

[Monica]DMX)
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
(I aint goin nowhere when you wake up I'm gonna be right there)
Don't you worry bout a thing (I ain't worried about shit)
You're here with me
(Look It's like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)

[Monica]DMX)
This situation is getting critical (uh huh!)
I watch so many tears fall (uh huh!)
I know she not what you want
So why do u keep holding on
When I'm right here (What!)
All you need to do is call (What!)
Don't be afraid cuz she wont know it

[Monica]DMX)
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
(I aint goin nowhere when you wake up I'm gonna be right there)
Don't you worry bout a thing (I ain't worried about shit)
You're here with me
(Look It's like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)

[Monica]DMX)
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
(I aint goin nowhere when you wake up I'm gonna be right there)
Don't you worry bout a thing (I ain't worried about shit)
You're here with me
(Look It's like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)

Big chains gold teeth and yo gleam on
All night wanna be gone
Wanna tell me stay home like I got a ah ring on
Now you say im not your wife right right

studio, this Miss.

Hey, yeah...
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh, yeah
Oh...oh...

When I think of what I've done all the pain that I've brought
Baby, you should have walked out on me
And when I've turned away from you whenever there were
hard times
How could you still be with me

And if it was no mistake when I hurt you that day
And went out with somebody new
But still you forgave me like it was so easy
I should have been mad at you

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
That you're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Never gave you my heart 'cause I never thought
You deserved any of me
I never told you how I felt when deep inside I knew
that
You're really what I need

And I always gave you up whenever I saw
Something better come along
And right when I come back you're waitin' for me
And you welcome me home

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

And if it takes my whole life I'll make it up to you
'Cause I've been so cruel
And you've given your love to me in spite of
everything
I-I don't deserve you

From this day forward I'm truly yours
But it took me a while to see
That we were meant for one another
Thank you for loving me

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not so easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh, I...I...I...
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

I can't believe you're gone
Why'd you leave
Sometimes they hurt so bad

Verse 1:
He's the kind of guy
that runs the streets
But he treats me good
and he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
and I respect the fact that
He's chosen that life
but it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
wondering where he's at, is he okay?
I wanna be by his side
but I commit a crime
I need to exclaim
I don't wanna live that way

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Verse 2:
Though he promised that he would never put me in harm's way
That's something that he can't control
Cause the game remains the same
Now he says he wants out of here
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he will go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at and it hurts so bad
That I had to choose if I wanna live, or die with you

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Bridge:
I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
The tears fell from my eyes
And there's no turning back
There's only goodbye

Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Often need to understand
So I wrote him this song
Could not get him ???
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
Without you
Without you

da da da da dum
um um
yeah yeah, oh, ho oh oh
oh wo
um, can I talk to you for a minute?

[VERSE 1:]
inseparable, that's how we were
through anything, you were my world
I gave to you, you shared with me
for the love of you, I'd give anything
I would chill with you
you and your crew
never complained 'bout the things you do
but it see it now, how it all went down
can't take no more
don't want you around

[HOOK 1]
never told me the whole truth
now I'm wishing that I knew
the real you...
how could you do this to me?
never hurt so much
I see, plans I made for you and me
they can't be...
these are the last tears that you'll see from me

[CHORUS]
cause I ain't gonna cry no more
cause I'm sick of you hurting me
I ain't gonna cry no more
'cause you don't deserve me
I ain't gonna cry no more
pack your stuff up and leave
I ain't gonna cry no more
cause I'm tired of you, me and she

[VERSE 2]
and now I can't believe all the things you did
all your secret trips, just to see your kids
what about the crib that I've never been?
is that the one that she lives in?
but soon you'll see
that the man he's not
the "un-love" affair will soon be forgot
and you will miss me, but i won't miss you
you can pull the key, cause now we're through

[HOOK 2]

never told me the whole truth
never wishing that I knew the real you...
you didn't have to do what you did to me
never hurt so much I see
plans we made for you and me
they can't be
these are the last tears that you see from me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
used to think that you and me were in love for sure
but you led me on, but I was wrong
but now I found I don't need you around
you gotta bounce
I'm tired

[CHORUS]

ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
it's not the fact that it's your baby
but it's the fact that you lied
and you hurt me
pack your stuff and leave

I'm sick of you
I'm through with you
I'm done with you
I'm tired of you
I'm tired of your lies
I ain't gonna cry no more

I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight

Time is ticking, my eyes are getting heavy
But I know we gotta squash this
Before it was popping, it's time for dropping
Copping attitudes right now

Nothings, nothing 'cause this ain't nothing
Don't you know that I love you?
So start to stopping, think about it
You'll see it's stupid

Argue about things so critical
And you heated over nothing and just hang up the phone
I want, wanna talk in the mood
See we need a resolution like that Aaliyah song

I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight

What time is it? I'm not on a mission
To stay up with you all night
It makes me so sick to my stomach
Every time we argue and fight

I mean it girl, my head gets lite, it just ain't right
I'm fed right up, please
It's 2:15 in the morning
There is no need

Argue about things so critical
And you heated over nothing and just hang up the phone
I want, wanna talk in the mood
See we need a resolution like that Aaliyah song

I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight

I'm not trying to be mad at you
Why you make me wanna not fool with you?
Can't you see I'm tired girl?
Besides the fact it's a quarter past two
A girl like me got things to do
So let's see each others point of view

I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight

I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight

I just wanna love you baby
I place no one above you baby
You're the only one for me
Let's not argue my baby

Everything you want and need
And my baby come and take my hand
I got you baby
Let me be the man you want in your life baby

Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Listen

Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time, I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy 'bout you

And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now you'd be holdin' on to me
But instead you're tellin' me

The things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now

I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you

And oh, what am I supposed to do?
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you

But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now

I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really need me
Don't you love her like you used to love me

And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me

I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you

What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most

He's my man and I know it
Cause I get a tremblin' deep in my soul
That I can't ignore and I can't control it
What a man, whoa
He's my fortress
I'm safe from harm when everything is all wrong
May not play ball and ain't trippin on my record deal
Still he is to me an amazing thrill
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it

That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Spent too many nights on my knees praying to Jesus
I'm his lady
That's my man
Ladies you know a good man is hard to find
And now I got mine
You better believe it
That's my man
He's the only one for me

Slow your role
See how you gon' tell me 'bout my man when you ain't got a man of your own
See I already know
You can't stand my man really loves me
Don't cheat, or beat, or sleep around on me and cares about my needs
We fuss and fight but he knows when it's over
That every night I'm positive my man is coming home to me
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it

That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Well in a fight keep it right and keep it tight
I'm his lady
That's my man
You say he's cheating
I didn't see it, I don't believe it
He's my baby
That's my man
He's the only one for me

If you're willing to do whatever
Look in his eyes and tell him I love you boy
Yeah, yeah and if he's not there at the moment
Call him and let him know I love you boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God smiled on me when he brought you in my life
Never wanna do you wrong
Always gonna do you right
You mean more to me than anything else in the world
You'll always be my man
I'll always be your girl

And I need you for the rest of my lfe
Ooo I love my man
Makes me feel so good inside
Ooo I feel so sorry for the ladies that don't have love in their life
Cause mine loves me right
Ooo I said that God smiled on me
He gave me something that I've never seen
Oh and I love him
Said that I love him
Oh I love him, I love him, I love him

Thanks to Christina for submitting the lyrics

If I told you
I'll be the one to make all your dreams true
If I gave you
All the things that make a man feel so good
If I need you
To come here before I give it to you
If I had to
I would change the world and make it feel love for you

Chorus:

If you do what say do
I promise we can do whateva'
You want to cause I want you
Say love me & I'm down 4 whateva'

repeat

Verse 2

Now that it's clear I hope you understand the way I'm feelin
And now that you're here you can't stop thinking of what I want to hear
Now that it's true I can stop holdin' back and do what I do
And when we're through I lay in your arms and say I love you

I believe we can be
Whateva we want to no matter the dilemma
And I believe that you will see it may take forever
But we finally got together
And I believe it will be all about us cause baby I love you
And then they will see what we mean 
When we say we were together for eternity

(Chorus x2)

Verse 3

Tell me what happens when you think of me
Do you think of the things I'm feeling
Cause when I see you I start trembling
My knees start shakin' just glad to be with you
Tell me your love will always be with me
Promise me you would never leave
And then take me where I want to be
Cause I need you baby, I'm needing you crazy (ohoh!I!!) 

Chorus Out

Mamma Mia & Monica (Oh, yeah)
The game is twisted (oh)
Won't you tell them 'bout it, Mo?!

Let me tell you about these niggas I don't like (I don't like)
They ride around the 24s
With a mouth full of gold
But their children be up hungry late at night
While they out spending doe and
they trickin' on them hoes

And another thing baby that just ain't right
Is these robbers and these haters, out pullin' capers
Did you ever think that it could end your life
Think twice, get it right
Or you have to pay the price
What part of the game

Chorus
What part of the game is this, oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this, oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this, oh
You gotta pay your dues, don't be a fool
What part of the game is this, oh
And if you don't play by the rules you loose

Now let me tell you 'bout these chicks I don't like
You walk in with your man they see you're holding hands
But they try to get up wit him that same night
Saying your girl ain't the one
Would you come and spend the night

And another thing that baby just ain't right
Is you all in these clubs
like you about to find some love
But the nigga only want ya for one night
Set you up, cut you up
Got your feelings all hurt up
What part of the game is this?

Chorus

Rap by Mia X

When I hear the children of today
They're questioning me the way
The way that they should live
I often wonder
Wonder what to do
To help them make it through
And the world's going straight

Open my heart to see
That is time with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe

Sometimes I feel so down
And no one here's around
But you, you never left me lonely
And now I see what a true friend means
And I trust that you would always be here for me
Lord I give you all

Open my heart to see
That is time with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe

Now I'm here before you
So tell me what to do
(Guess I'll do open my heart)
My heart to you
Here I am
Searching for all the answers to my problems
Lord I'm facing things
Can you help me
You're trying all that I need
The things I belive
Lord, no no no no
Here I am
Here I am
I'm searching for searching for it
Lord I need, need, need
That's tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
Here I am
Lagging all the understand single things I can't see
I am your child
Oooh oh oh
That're tryin' me
Can't you help me
I'm lagging understanding
I'm your child no matter what they say
I'm with you every day
Protect me every day
Protect me oh oh..
