Shanice Album

[No lyrics]

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, S. Jackson, J. Baker)

Sitting in my class, just drifting away
staring into the windows of the world (yeah)
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play...

Chorus
'Cause I love your smile
I love your smile

The clock at work says three, and I wanna be free
free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint my toes all day
My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway

Chorus

Bridge
Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
you rock my world
you dig

Rap Breakdown:
I'm showin' the life that I'm livin'
This is the life that I have
and it's given to you

yeh' and it's true
la-d-da
twinkely d
do you

believe in a girl
like me
Shanice is the one
for you to be with

But when I'm caught all alone
I start fessin'
It's from a state of depression

And the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I begin to wonder "do you still love me?"
but after that
My whole world is beautiful

Smile...Psych

(N.M. Walden, S. Dakota, J. Baker)

Yeah baby

I wanna tell, I wanna tell you, baby
What's goin' on, yeah

So you call me up and say
"Girl what's goin' on?"
Someone told you I had done you wrong
People always talkin' (yeah) sayin' crazy things
It's just jealousy

Well if you wanna know the truth boy
I'm tellin' you, hey
He was just a friend of mine
If we start to question each other, it'll tear us apart
Baby let's not start

Bridge
Don't you doubt my love
Don't you doubt my love
I'm never gonna give you up
Who can you believe
Your friends or me
I'm not gonna leave
Oh baby I will always be

Chorus
Forever in your love
Forever in your love
Forever in your love
Forever in your love

Stood right by your side, babe
Held you through the night
I never let you down
When you need someone to believe in
Put your trust in me
Ain't that what love's about?

Bridge

Chorus

Rap
When I'm home
Sitting alone
thinking about you
yeah
and what we do
Together
Makes me want more
Cause I'm sure
That I'm forever in your love
What you do for me
You know
A kiss from head to toe
Makes me wanna scream
To the heavens up above
Knowing that I'm forever in your love
Baby
Yeah, word to your mother

Bridge

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, S. Dakota)

Puttin' on my coat
Wanna break out from these walls
Catch a bus and take a walk downtown
Maybe run into a friend
I just know I got to get out

But everywhere I go
I see lovers hand in hand
Reminds me of the way it used to be (reminds me of the way it used to be boy)
Baby it felt so right
When you were walkin' with me
(don't you see)

Chorus
I'm cryin' how could you leave me all alone
I'm cryin' just can't make it on my own
I dream of you the whole day through
But when the night time falls
I'm all alone
Cryin' all alone

When I close my eyes
I can feel your lips on mine
Nobody ever touched me like you did (nobody ever touched me like you did boy)
There ain't a thing I wouldn't give
Baby for just one more kiss
(Don't you see)

Chorus

My friends say I'll love again
I wanna believe but why pretend
Tell me why, why pretend baby
I'm always gonna feel the same
No one will ever take your place
No nothing can compare
With the love that we shared, baby (don't you see)

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, L. Biancaniello)

I heard you say goodbye
Said that it would be our last night
It took me by surprise
Say that it isn't so

Oh baby
I don't wanna see you go away
Oh baby
I'd be there till my dyin' day
Oh baby
I can't live if I'm not lovin' you
Don't make me baby

Chorus
I hate to be lonely
We could be out takin' a drive
I hate to be lonely
We should be walking side by side
I hate to be lonely
Lonely for you
Lonely for you

You said you wanted me
To be your girl that's all you'd need
And I gave my heart so free
Trying to win your love but

Bridge
Baby
I gave my heart and soul to you
Oh baby
You never had a love so true

Can't you see the tears I cry over you
Don't leave me baby

Chorus

Lonely for you baby
I know we can last
Just give it a try
Trust me

Bridge

Chorus

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, C. Richardson, S. Griffith, J. Baker)

Rap
I don't need a lover boy
Baby I need a man
I told you that
Time and time again

So past
Don't even make me laugh (giggle)
You don't stop
I'm gonna kick your (beep)

See I'm not dependent
On 1 lil-2
Nor-3 lil indian dreams

You gonna make me scream

Chorus
Stop cheatin' on me
Stop cheatin' on me
Stop cheatin' on me
Stop cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on me

I thought you were better
But, boy I was wrong...oh so wrong
You thought you were so clever
Until you got caught

Bridge 1
Boy ain't it a shame
How you've been untrue
Baby, I'm not your fool
I know all about those games
I said it's nothin' new
I'm not gonna be used

Chorus

Hey, my mama told me
'Bout boys like you...the things you do
You like running so care-free
Doin' what you choose

Bridge 2
Don't you know I've tried
To believe in you
But you were up to no good
I'm not gonna fuss and fight
What's the use?
I either get it right or get it cut loose

Chorus

Don't come to my house, baby
If you're gonna be a dawg
Just cheatin' on me
Dont come to my house baby
If you're gonna be a dawg
Just cheatin' on me

I don't know who he thinks he is...dawg

Rap
You're playing the roll
Lover boy like ya, high post
With girls in the street
Seems when you try most
To be all that you can be
But see
I ain't the one to be played
Shanice

Is pickin' the pace up
Shoe strings laced up
You know what i'm sayin'
Stop wine'in keep ya, face up

Baby
Gotta believe it's driving me crazy

Bridge 2

Chorus

Hey my daddy told me about the things
You do
If you wanna be with me, here's what you gotta do
Get your act together...don't play me for no fool
Either get it right or get your butt cut loose

Chorus

Featuring Johnny Gill
(N.M. Walden, J. Cohen)

I send to you my silent prayer
Before I sleep at night
I send to you my silent prayer
Baby so you'll be alright

Every morning I think of you
I just can't shake off my dreams...no, no
I read the paper and watch the news
I don't know what it means

When you do what you've got to do
You must know that I'm there with you
Every breath that I take...I hope and I pray
Sweet baby...baby be ok

Chorus
Silent prayer
Silent prayer
Silent prayer
I send to you my silent prayer

I hold a picture of a golden sunset
And I'll take your hand
We're gonna walk down that promised road
Just like we planned

'Cause I know what I'm gonna do
Just as soon as I'm back with you
Every breath that I take...I hope and I pray
Sweet baby...baby be ok

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, S. Dakota, J. Baker)

Intro (spoken)
From the north to the south
From the east to the west
We're praying
All over this beautiful planet
For peace in the world
Peace

Check this out

Lookin' in my heart
I got to find a way
I wanna do my part
I wanna make that change

There's fighting in the streets
What's it all about
Can we stop the hate
Can we work it out

Bridge
(say cuz') you and I can make the difference
The love that we're feelin'
I truly believe in
(say cuz') you and I can make a change
Love will show us how
Love will be our guide

Chorus
Peace in the world is what we care for
Hand and hand we'll make a change
Peace in the world is what we care for
Heart to heart we'll find a way
Yeah, we're gonna make that change, listen

Kids are starving now
All across the world
Let's lend a helping hand
Save all the boys and girls

People are selling drugs
Gangs are everywhere
Let's come together now
Show them that we care

Bridge

Chorus

Rap
Peace in the world
So kids'll know
Not to ever make war
Love'll show
That it can over power hate
As evil disintegrates
'Cause we got to have faith

If you do right
There'll be no wrong
That's why
Shanice is singin' the song
About love and joy
Every man, woman, boy and girl
To have peace in the world

(M. Riperton, R. Rudolph)

Lovin' you
Is easy 'cause you're beautiful
And lovin' you
Is all I wanna do
Lovin' you
Is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do
Is out of lovin' you

La la la la
La la la la
La la la lala la la la la la
Do do do do
Ooh aah

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me
While we grow old
And we will live
Each day in springtime

Lovin' you
I see your soul
Come shining through
And everything that we o-o-o
I'm more in love with you

La la la la
La la la la
La la la lala la la la la la
Do do do do
Ooh aah

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me
While we grow old
And we will live
Each day in springtime

Lovin' you
Is easy 'cause you're beautiful
Everyday of my life
It's filled with lovin' you

Lovin' you
I see your soul
Come shining through
And everything that we o-o-o
I'm more in love with you

La la la la
La la la la
La la la lala la la la la la
Do do do do

Featuring Johnny Gill
(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, M. Mani, L. Biancaniello, H. Pogue)

You strut your body around the city
In green suede you think you're so bad
Hustling girls that want your money
Well you ain't worth a dime you have, baby

Smooth talkin' ladies man, seekin' a good time
But you ain't got the goods to play, no, no
Soft touchin' slow hand, chivalry in man
Are things that sweep a girl away

You ain't all that, baby
You ain't all that, no, no
You ain't all that, honey
You ain't all that, all that

Your maserati don't impress me
I'm lookin' for a high speed man
You think you can keep up with me
From what I've seen I doubt you can

Don't tell me that you love me
I see right through your game
I ain't fooled by your desire
If you're half of what you say, babe I'd like to play
But you're badder than bad, cooler than cool
Attitude always gets in the way

You ain't all that, baby
You ain't all that
You ain't all that, oh sugar
You ain't all that
You ain't all that, darling
You ain't all that
You ain't all that
Said you ain't all that

You say you "fell in love at first sight"
Sweet talk me with lies
But I heard you said it elsewhere last night
Well you should know, that I'm no fool, I don't need
You...cuz, you ain't all that

Rap
You thought you was fly
So I had to say goodbye
I gave you a chance and don't even know why
You ain't nothin' i can find another cutie
'Cause all you wanted was my money and my bootee
So step off
Get lost
Get off my trip
I don't need you boy 'cause you ain't legit,
You sucker

You ain't all that
You ain't all that, oh sugar
You ain't all that, baby
You ain't all that
You ain't all that, baby
You ain't all that, sugar
You ain't all that, darlin'
You ain't never gonna be the kind of man
Who was on your knees beggin' tryin'
To please me
You ain't all that, no, no
You ain't all that

(Shanice & Johnny Gill)
Shanice: Yeah you ain't all that and never will be
Johnny: Ain't all that?
Shanice: You ain't all that
Johnny: well ok, it's alright 'cause that's why you
Been with it all this time
Shanice: Yeah, and don't forget to leave my key right there on that table
Johnny: Leave the key on the table? What?
Shanice: Yeah, right there, on that table and while
You're at it, don't call me, don't call my mother,
Don't call my father and don't even give my dog a biscuit
Johnny: Yo, bow, wow
Shanice: And by the way I did cancel all the credit cards
Johnny: That's cool too 'cause you're gonna pay all
That bills, peace, I'm outta here
Shanice: Bye

You ain't all that, baby
You ain't all that

Busted

Yo fella's I'm back
And I'm hard as ever
Where'd you think I was gonna go (giggle)
Yeah whatever
Hard, hard
Shut up you guys
Hard
You can't sing

Been workin' hard in the studio
Workin' day and night
Stayin' up and singin' 14 hours
Tryin' to get it right

I'd rush home right after school
You see I couldn't hang out and be cool
I had a mission I could not be dissin'
Baby, uh, that was my rule

Chorus
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard

Rap
Rockin' and bumpin', thumpin' and funkin'
Like this groove yeah, I had to make you move
I had a mission that I could not be dissin'
'Cause this diva had a point to prove

Some people said (huh!?) Where could she be?
Backin' some band way down in Mississippi?
(No!) smackin', whakin', jackin' this groove in time
With the rhythm of hip hop in mind

Chorus

Rap
Everyday
Coast to coast
People what could it be
What's up with me

Well I'm back
With a brand new story
I gotta fresh mix
"Tarpan's" laboratory
U c, the fella's hook me up
From a to z
1, 2, 3
It's me "Shanice"

And I'm
Pullin' other suckers
Ho, card, (laugh)
You didn't think I'd come back this hard "boy"

Chorus
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro

(S. Wilson, C. Wilson, D. Duncan, K. Anderson)

I know things don't last forever
But I thought that you were true
I guess I've been mistaken
Cause our love is done and through

It hurts me
Cause I know I was true to you
And I'm sorry for whatever I've done to you

Chorus
Oo-oo-oo baby
You were the one for me
Baby can't you see
You shouldn't have set me free
And oh why did you let me go
I thought our love could grow
You know I loved you so
You were the one

I don't know why you left me
All I know is that you're gone
I wish I could change your feelings
But I guess my life goes on

It hurts me
Cause I thought you'd always be there
But what I see
You really didn't care
Love is so unfair
Cause I thought

Chorus

I know it's hard for you to see
How much you meant to me
And if it's really meant to be
Then you'll come back

If loving you is still a possibility
When you return I'll be there for you
Cause in my heart I'll always love you

Chorus

I'm gonna miss you baby
I know you're gonna miss me too
'Cause you know
You were the one

(N.M. Walden, S. Wilson, S. Jackson, J. Baker)
