Take my name, I don't need it
Nothing stays the same anyway
Take my fame, I can't use it
My girlfriend calls me lame, the game was over yesterday
Tell me, what's my name?
Tell me, what's my name?
What's my name?
Take this bass, I can't play it
It only makes me wish 4 the way it used 2 be
U could slap my face, but I got 2 say it
U never would have drank my coffee if I had never served U cream
Now tell me, what's your name?
Tell me, what's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
Come on!
Do U dream in color or do U discriminate?
Do U love others, do U love or do U hate?
Do U worship fire or do U worship a dove?
When the things U know are right
are far from what they seem
When the past becomes the future
and time becomes a dream
When the light of God
is the only thing in life that will redeem
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
When the voices U hear commands U
2 entertain thee absurd
When U do the action unlocks
thee apocalypse of that you've heard of
When the day lies before U
seems the dakness in a word
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
Uno para todos, y todos para uno {One 4 all and all 4 one}
March, we march
(Whoa) {x6 in BG}
March, we march {x2}
If this is the same avenue my ancestors fought 2 liberate
How come I can't buy a piece of it even if my credit's straight?
If all the water's dirty and I wanna lay the pipe, my dammy
The river that I drink from, will it be the same as your mammy?
CHORUS:
Now's the time 2 find a rhyme (Yeah)
That's got a reason and frees the mind (Yeah)
From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah)
If we all wanna a change then come on get in line
Next time we march (Whoa)
We're kickin' down the door
Next time we march (Whoa)
All is what we're marchin' 4
If this is the same sister that U cannot stop calling a bitch (Bitch)
It will be the same one that will leave your broke ass in a ditch (Ditch)
If U can't find a better reason 2 call this woman otherwise
Then don't cry, U made the bed in which U lie
CHORUS
(Whoa) {x4 in BG}
March, we march (Come on)
March, we march
Yes we do!
Dig..
Now we clarify 4ever, in other words as long as it takes
We ain't got no use 4 ice cream without the cake (Umm)
We ain't got no time 4 excuses, the promised land belongs 2 all
We can march in peace but U best watch your back if another leader falls
March, we march
[Feet stompin'!]
March, we march
He said it, she said it and I say...
Now's the time (now's the time) 2 find a rhyme (Yeah)
That's got a reason (Yeah) and frees the mind (free your mind)
From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah)
If we all wanna a change then come on get in line (Get in line!)
Next time we march (Whoa)
We're kickin' down the door
Oh yeah, what'd U think was gonna happen?
Come on!
CHORUS:
We gets up, everybody get down
Make a sound, make a sound
We gets up when we come 2 your town
I said the lost is found
We gets up - ain't no need 2 trip
We're the one deserving of the championship
We gets up - so U feel the gift
All the competition, they got 2 quit
CHORUS
Yeah! How U think we comin'?
Smash em' like U wanna sting
We just bad - we so bad, we good
Comin' 2 wreck shop in your neighborhood
NPG - and we're makin' it understood
Ain't no one can stop us, how U think U could?
CHORUS
Yeah, NPG, New Power Soul, K-k-k-kick it!
Oh yeah!
Gimme the break, gimme the break, huh
If y'all take a left, we gonna go right
But we'll keep this mutha rockin' till the broad daylight
People, wave your hands
Ain't nobody better in all of the land
See them go ...{boom}! Yeah, we crushin' the man
That don't believe we get up, yes we can!
We gets up, up, up, up!

U know the Kama Sutra? I could re-write it with half as many words
But I'm scared, 'cause if I don't kiss ya, I'm gonna go mad baby

I'm testing postive 4 the funk

walk on their side of the street?
Don't walk where it feels the best?
Walk away from people u meet?
Don't talk 2 strangers
Unless they walk the way u want them 2?
Don't walk unless the others do?
I said walk, like u could use a ride?
Don't walk with a confident stride
Then people will walk over u
Don't talk until they tell u 2?
Don't talk if it's against the rules?
Just walk away and be a fool?
That's what they wantcha 2 do
Yeah, that's what they want u 2 do
Don't talk if it's against the rules?
Just walk away and be a fool?
That's what they wantcha 2 do
So u got 2 walk like u wanna make it!
Don't walk like u just can't take it
Go on and walk on any side you like!
Don't walk wherever they tell u 2 - psyche!
The sun will shine upon u one day
If u're always walkin' your way
The sun will shine upon u one day
If u're always walkin' your way
";I'm of the mind to make some mookie.
phonebook...";
The phone rings, it's Vicki callin'
She wants me 2 come 2 the crib
She says conversation's better than being lonely
So I try my best to ad lib
I told the joke about the woman
Who asked her lover ";Why is your organ so small?";
He replied ";I didn't know I was playin' in a cathedral.";
Vicki didn't laugh at all.
chorus:
This is where she wants 2 be
I am what she wants 2 see
I never known a love so sweet
Still I keep Vicki waiting...
Alright
All is well in Gotham City
The sound of terror is all U hear
Sometimes a pistol takes the place of her body
Sometimes her body's here
But U see when crime is your only love
All that matter is the present, the here and now
People, people, whatever floats this joker's boat
Is whatever this joker will bang
chorus
Oh yeah
Talk of children still frightens me
Is my character enough 2 be
One that deserves a copy made?
This I one day, hope 2 see
Until then she's held at bay
By my animal-like persistence
Or maybe she's just 2 proud 2 say
That fate (fate) brought us together
And this is where she wants 2 stay
chorus
chorus
All is well in Gotham town
This is where she wants 2 be
She saw me walking down the streets
Of your fine city
It kinda turned me on when she looked at me
And said, ";C'mere";
Now I don't usually talk to strangers
But she looked so pretty
What can I lose,
If I, uh, just give her a little ear?
";What's up little girl?";
";I ain't got time to play.";
Baby didn't say too much
She said, ";Are you gay?";
Kinda took me by suprise
I didn't know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes
And I said, ";No, are u?";
Said to myself, said
";She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy
Little mixed up dame.
She's just a victim of society
And all it's games.";
Now where I come from
We don't let society
Tell us how it's supposed to be
Our clothes, our hair
We don't care
It's all about being there
Everybody's going Uptown
That's where I wanna be
Uptown
Set your mind free
Uptown
Got my body hot
Get down
I don't wanna stop, no
As soon as we got there
Good times were rolling
White, Black, Puerto Rican
Everybody just a-freakin'
Good times were rolling
She started dancing in the streets
Ow, girl, she's just gone mad
U know, she even made love to me
Ooh, best night I ever had
Ah yeah
I never talk to strangers
But this time it's all right
See, she got me hot, ah
I couldn't stop, ah
Good times were rolling all night All night, yeah
Now where I come from
We don't give a damn
We do whatever we please
It ain't about no downtown
Nowhere bound
Narrow-minded drag
It's all about being free
Everybody's going Uptown
ll of my life I've never wanted anyone like I wanted U
Every night I said a prayer 2 God and His angels
I'm sure they knew
The many tears that I'd have 2 cry
If I ever had 2 leave your side
CHORUS:
Until U're in my arms again
I know this pain will never end
This broken heart will never mend
Until U're in my arms again
Every mornin' when I awaken, I imagine U sleepin' in your bed
Wrong or right the reason U're taken from my embrace
Well, it's never said
Cuz every day that U don't return
Is another day that my heart just yearns and yearns
That's whyЎ
CHORUS
If life remains a mystery
Then there's no reason 2 the rhyme
And U, U'll never know what U mean 2 me till U're mine, all mine
Until U're in my arms again {x3}
(CHORUS)
Until U're, until U're, until U're in my arms again!
No, ain't never gonna end
Never gonna mend
Until U're back, right back in my arms again
I'll never see like others see
(I know that U'll come back 2 me)
I know U're gonna come right back 2 me (Come on back 2 me)
NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now!
NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now!
Once again I donЎЇt follow trends, they just follow me
Just like the Israelies thru the red sea
It might take U some time but U will want 2 see
The undisputed truth and get free (Get free)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Love me), get rowdy now! (Live)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Love me), get rowdy now! (Come on)
(Get free, yeah!)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Love me), get rowdy now! (Go, come on)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Once again)
(Backwards: the uncredible)
At the very core of thinking I originate
ThatЎЇs why UЎЇll never know my thinking or my fate
Invisible - unless of course U R my mate
If not, U think U see me - I disintegrate
Disintegrate my thoughts from yours
U can feel me coming outa everyone of your pores
WeЎЇre integrating where I am understood and adored
";UЎЇre just 2 my subject - thatЎЇs y UЎЇre outtatouch!";
So whatЎЇs this claim - out of what?
My dear, I am the touch
Oh, hear me, feel me
Oh, hear me, feel me
Come on
NPG (Get funky)
[...]
NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now!
I can give U power (power), I can take it away
I can make U dance, cuz this guitar I play
Heavy rotation (Come on, come on)
Never made my world go ЎЇround
Commercialization, commercialization of the music
Is what brought it down
(Overhere)
(2 the bridge)
My level is now what U must learn 2 rise above
Talk to DЎЇAngelo or better yet - ?uestlove
It might take U some time but U will learn 2 see
The undisputed truth and get free (Get free)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Love me), get rowdy now! (Live)
NPG (Feel me) get rowdy (Love me), get rowdy now! (Come on)
(Get free, yeah!)
NPG (Feel me) get r
