Do you want it, do you want it now? I caught myself thinkin’ about you again Where was the benefit in just being friends? I was the girl in your pocket Your kitty on a leash But baby boy what you did to a girl in her head Now you see what you’re missin’ Now you’re feelin’ like I might be your type Got you thinkin’ twice I could have been the one But you didn’t want it You and I, we could have run this town You broke my heart with all your messin’ around You were so eager to please Everybody but me So do you want it? Do you want it now? I’m such in awe, I never knew that you’d be my perfect height, my perfect type And if you ain’t the one then baby girl you are the prototype Cuz I know I’m late to the game, but wanna mate with your frame and reclaim fame within that brain! damn I want you now it’s driving me insane! But you’re the one to blame, cuz now you look so good! but I understand my lesson from my once misunderstood Cuz you see it’s all good, yet it’s all bad and you’re the one that I, wish I had So let’s turn had to have, cuz we still got time in our hourglass girl Say my name! (say my name, come on say my name Say my name! say it softer, say it like a doctor Say my name! say it louder, come on say it louder Do you want it? (yeah) You want it? (yeah) You want it, want it (You know I want you, girl)

I think I’ve known it, known it And now I own it, own it Watch me smile as you sing my song Cuz I known it all along Known it all along You shoulda had a crystal ball in your palm Or a Miss Cleo to demo what I’ve known all along You experimented, but I already knew That I’d be knockin’ off your socks...footloose I tried to pull you, but you were laggin, I’m with the band now, so get off my wagon I’m not cocky, just confident I’m thee acquired taste, now come and swallow this I’m what you used to see in your rearview but see I got some new shoes and I’m running past you You realized what your eyes thought were brand new You just a library book, overdue You tryna figure out what happened like a replay I like to call it turning tables, DJ My motivation fuels my self esteem Instead of riding shotgun now you in the back seat Grab a number Get in line Need a ticket? Bout time You wanna play me (hold up) But rewind Where were you back in the day I’m on the rise like a sit up They used to call me ticking bomb then I blew up (Kaboom) I moved up like the Jeffersons I’m staying strong like an erection is, oh yeah it’s definite Call me Einstein I’m kind of like a know it all, my disco ball covers ya’ll like some overalls Judged my book by the cover and that was all I just wanted your support like a training bra The brightest color in your crayon box you never used me though, so your picture sucks If you didn’t know well now you do Should have been like a detective and got yourself a clue Your preconceived notions have led you down the wrong trail I’m about to end them all, 2012 I guess I’m on stretch like Armstrong Yesterday didn’t know me now today you’re singing my songs so All my people who were with me from the bottom to the top Known it all along, known it all along

Promise Land 03:38
Who is it that sold you Those ideas aren’t your own I know you better than that How many times have I told you Lose yourself in the moment Nothing’s holding you back Inhibitions Got you missin’ Life you’re livin’ Can’t you see? If you believe in me, like I believe in you I won’t let you give up Don’t give up, don’t give up Give up on me Stop thinking it over Looking over your shoulder I know you better than that When you start to imagine Magic can happen If you give this a chance If you believe in me like I believe in you, I’ll take you to the promised land Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up Give up on me

I don’t understand Help me understand Cause I don’t understand Why you wanna do me like that Put a bullet in my back Blindsided by the rules of the game I, I, I never thought it would have ended this way I had a sneaking suspicion that your conscious had gone missing you were lying to me like you were the CIA I need a good drug, but you’re placebo I need a hero, You’re Dr. Evil Expiration date, Came a day too late And I don’t understand how you could do me like that I’m the matrix, You’re the sequel The way you played me, Should be illegal Expiration date, Came a day too late And I don’t understand how you could do me like that Left me bleeding at the scene of the crime this time you finally fucked up and stepped over the line I had a sneaking suspicion now you’ve got me on a mission better thank the good lord you didn’t see me today We were rare, son, Now we’re well done You’re on your third strike, I need a home run Expiration date came a day too late And I don’t understand how you could do me like that

Fire 03:11
Feel the Fire Burn inside you inside you Feel the Fire Burn inside you inside you Got that Kerosene Kickin’ in your Blood, Ignites you. I’m on Fire! No Drill Flow so hot that I burn through steel I’m on Fire! Blue Flame Spit like a dragon and I breathe Propane And you can’t snuff me out Stand back and FEEL THE FLAME! You’re an ember burning bright So just let it go A cinder blazing in the night So just let it go I got that spanish fire, fuego Burn so international Beach without no sandals My flame on top, candle Hot like that joint you’ve been smokin but its been laced with me Now feel that pain, inhale my blaze Now I am what you breathe I’m in the kitchen if you can’t stand the heat then I suggest you leave My lava brings trauma No oven mitt can handle me Bombs squads can’t handle me I’m strapped with TNT A firework in Colorado But I pop illegally I cannot be you Batman, your Superman I’ma Johnny Blaze I will not be the fireman that comes along to intercept the flame I’m the sun that heats your planet Make you sweat til you cannot stand it Burn the bridge that gets you where you live Cuz I’ma bad brotha got a lot to give I’m on...

Say Goodbye 03:12
Where do we go from here? Today is the day my dear We finally follow through Don’t have the heart to say We can’t go on this way I know I’m not the one for you We broke all our promises Looks like love was blind All good things come to an end We just can’t deny This is where we say goodbye Goodbye my love Now there’ll be no more lies So don’t you act surprised Cuz you already know baby the bridge is burned by too many angry words there’s no going back for us

You keep me hangin’ around Thought I would be your lady Tell me you love me someday You keep me hangin’ around You keep me hangin’ around You haven’t been calling Lately You don’t really want me baby but you keep me hangin’ around Like an old t-shirt Dressed up in dirt You keep me hangin’ around You wanna let me go You gotta tell me so You keep me hangin’ around You keep me hanging around Waiting for your confession I never learn my lesson You keep me hangin’ around You keep me hanging around You always avoid the question Your games keep me guessin’ You keep me hangin’ around Just a backseat date That you call up late you keep me hangin’ around You wanna let me go You gotta tell me so You keep me hangin’ around I’m not playing this game no mo’ if you really want me let me know for sho At the dealer’s door Lookin’ for a score You keep me hangin’ around You wanna let me go You gotta tell me so You keep me hangin’ around I wanna let you know I’m gonna let you go I won’t be hangin’ around

Better Man 03:27
You make me A better man than I am Lord knows it’s true I meet my match and it’s you And I still got so much learning to do Honey all I need a lesson from you maybe one more late night conversation might get me through I make you laugh, My better Half I’m simply lost without you It might take 1000 times to get it right to hear the same old things you tell me every night baby now I hear you loud and clear and I see light I make you laugh, My better Half I’m simply lost without you Cause I’m rise and fall, and you’ve taken it all all the good and the bad, problems we’ve had You got a lock on me baby
9.
If you’ve had a shitty day Let’s get rowdy, time to play Come on, throw your cares away Leave ‘em at the door, leave ‘em at the door Leave your troubles behind you Don’t let some drama confine you Let it go cuz it’s time to Leave your worries at the door Leave it at the door Oh Oh Ohhh You on an ego trip? (Leave it at the door) I got some scissors, cut the shit (leave it at the door) We got no room for it (Leave it at the door) You came to dance So just relax You came to dance So shake your ass Let your body move to the music And dance your heart out tonight, Leave it at the door, welcome mat When life gives you lemons, give them back Cuz lately you’ve been on the bullshit I’ve got some toilet tissue time to wipe it up and be through with it Sometimes... You just need to smile and shit and see sometimes... You just need to shake your ass and see sometimes... Your days been nothing but trouble it’s time to burst out your bubble I got a needle let me bust you You taking Jagerbombs something like a terrorist tryna put together sentences and you don’t make sense Poor me a cup of that I’m feelin the groove and if you on some bullshit you better get out my view, cuz
