All he wants to do is practice and that's all he does, all day long. That's what it takes if you want to change the face of music. You've gotta be committed to it.

Be Yourself
Well, I am what I am
what I am could be who you are
Is, your pain when you smile
cos you've built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up
cause you feel alone
And are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you cried would you hide
would you want all the world to know
And if you believed in love
would you let it show
are you in
are you hip
Are you cool
Do you try too hard
or are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
If you can't, can't be yourself
you're gonna lose it all
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
You're gonna find someday
you're gotta run away
you gotta run, run, run away
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself

Modern World
First performance at the catalyst club, may 1997.
We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But under the stars above
We just dont recognize
The power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
When anger has closed the door
My eyes go blind and I can see inside
I hurt you and you hurt me
Which crimes of love in the first degree
Oh yeah
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But when there are clouds above
We just dont recognise
The power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change

Music is my life.
Music souths my soul. Music takes me away.
It zones me out to another place.
It takes me to another world, far from reality.
It takes me far away from where i need to be.
Music calms me down. It changes how i feel.
It makes me forget and helps my heart heal.
Im married to music. By my side it will stay.
Follows me where ever i go. Night -N- Day.
The one i give my heart to, it'll always be here.
The thought of letting me down. No theres no fear.
Music is the beautiful sounds that flows through my ears.
ill be committed to it for years and years.
Music flows through my body. My urges start to ring.
The tipe of urges that makes me start to sing.
Music is my addiction. I feen for it.
I need no help to be cured for it.
Music is the air that i breath.
Music is the strength you find in me.
It will always be my number 1 Love till the day i die.
I put music above all.
Cus.MUSiC. is my life.

Long Long Way To Go
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life? And anyone who knew us
both can see We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free And all this pain, when does it go away?
Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew, to you To you
From memory there is no hiding place Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care
Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew
To you I wish you everything And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes Oh, and even though I fell the pain
I know that you will love again The time will come and you'll move on
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Gotta long way to go Before I can say goodbye
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew
To all I ever knew I gotta long way to go
Before I say Say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl Oh and all of the rest to you

What It Takes
I wanna walk
To no particular destination
I wanna talk
When I got the inclination
I wanna move
When I got the locomotion
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
I wanna drive my car
Wherever theyre driving faster
I wanna sail the ship
As long as I can be the master
I wanna ride the rails
On my own roller coaster
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
(chorus)
I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
I wanna be the first to say
Dont wanna work real hard
If it means that I aint livin? br> dont wanna go through life
If theres no room for gettin? br> dont wanna stand here long
If it just means Im a waiting
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
(repeat chorus)
Dont wanna change my ways
If there aint no good reason
Dont wanna change my mind
Without any rhyme or reason
Dont wanna be one way
I got to change like a season
Im gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
Im gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

Murder On Music Row
Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.
The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang (oh, you tell them alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.
Chorus:
For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old hank wouldnt have a chance on todays radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.
They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (Ill still buy em)
Well there aint no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murders been committed down on music row.
Chorus:
Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you cant hear fiddles play
With drums and rock n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the hag, he wouldnt have a chance on todays radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the possum to pack up and go back home
Theres been an awful murder down on music row.

Keep On Growing
I was laughing, playing in the streets,
I was unknowing; I didnt know about things.
Then he came along, but never really showed me,
I thought that love could wait.
I was a young girl. I was sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would find a way, find a way, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was standing, looking in the face
Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed.
Hoping, I pray the lord, that he could understand me,
And I didnt know his name.
He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong.
He said, youre gonna be all right girl,
Oh just as long, just as long...
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, lord,
Just you wait and see. let me hold you,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
cause I want just you and me.
This time is gonna change it all, I know its true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing
And growings all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah.
Oh, got to keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me.
Gotta keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah,
I was a young girl,
You said love will find a way,
Love will find a way.
Gotta keep on growing...

Nobody's Fool
I know you think, I'm no match for you baby
You like making it rough on me, don't you? My my...
Back to the shadows, ah ah yeah
Nothing suits me better than that
In time to start the healing
Got to learn to be the ball
And I can't keep from laughing at it all
Whoa whoa, I'm going now
I'm going all the way
Sooner or later, gotta love somebody
I don't care how long it takes
Like a shot to the heart, I've got news for you
I may not look so smart, but I'm nobody's fool
Oh no, lassoing love for you baby
Taking it slow, it's too much for me to analyze
Still alright, heading into the rhythm of the southern light
Winds of wild insanity, blow with me tonight
Shouting love to all you cowboys, alright
Whoa whoa, I'm going now
I'm going all the way
Sooner or later, gotta love somebody
I don't care how long it takes
You can turn up the heat, but I'm playing it cool
I know it's hard to believe, but I ain't nobody's fool
I'm going all the way
Sooner or later, gotta love somebody
I don't care how long it takes
You might think that I've not gone to school on you
Baby like it or not, I ain't nobody's fool
My illusion nation become a sound surprise
You may turn to deny it
To the place when the clouds stops the wind in the face
Leaves you dumbfounded there in his waste
I'm going all the way
Sooner or later, gotta love somebody
I don't care how long it takes
Like a shot to the heart, I've got news for you
Maybe I'm not so smart, but I'm nobody's fool
I'm going all the way (Ooh yeah)
I'm going all the way (Nobody's fool baby, nobody's fool)

Race
Lie down, [fair 1//pheromone], and come away
Till the rain is over and gone
G-g-gimme the beat now (face the music)
Lead line (face the music)
If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite
I reckon its the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight
Talkin so fast that even they
Talkin so fast that even they
Dont know what they mean
Of all the things that base a rhyme
How is it that u everytime
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?
Thank God this aint monopoly
Ud make us all go back 2 start
Race
In the space I mark human (face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (face the music)
Cut me, cut u
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
Check it
Three seats over theres a lady black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her momma or another kid at school
Tells her about the fallacy that 1 race rules over the other
Shed be a much-better-off-left fool (face the music)
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know
And then the band say
Race
In the space I mark human (face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race

Cut me, cut u
Both the blood is red

D-d-down with h-i-s-t-o-r-y and all this bs propagandi
Keepin u from me and me from u as we grow
I dont wanna know (I dont wanna know)
Why those before us hated each other
Id rather believe they never did
Id rather believe (Id rather, Id rather believe)
That theres hope 4 a kid
And if he imitates the best
I guess thats what Ill try 2 be
And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea
Race

Face the music (face the music)
Face the music
Race
In the space I mark human (face the music)

Changes (We all hate them right? Except the good ones!)
I do my best
But that's not enough
I gotta be strong
I gotta be tough
Be myself
But they think it's not right
It's impossible for me to change
Why can I not cry for one night?
I change my hair,
Change my clothes
I act differently
I put make-up on my face and nose
Then I found out
I never needed to change
There was always
Another way in my range
So now I never needed
To change my hair
Or my clothes
But now, my life seems so bare

But somebodys got to do it
Better get to it
Somebodys gotta do it
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Any work at all

Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done
Gotta earn my pay... I gotta earn my pay
I cant wait around on the lottery
And there aint no millionaires
Lookin for me
And somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it

I can think of better things
Id rather do
I might get lucky
And Im hopin to
But until I do
I gotta compromise
The job aint much
But at least its mine
It beats standin
In the unemployment line
Put pride aside
And Ill improvise
Even if I do get a better job
Somebody else
Has gotta fill my spot
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it

Even when pride is too hard to swallow
Its another day so its another dollar
Thats what its all about, oh

But somebodys got to do it
Better get to it
Somebodys gotta do it
Whatever it takes
Gotta keep the faith
Any work at all

Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done

When I close my eyes your there night and day
Baby whatever it takes Ive gotta find you
Are you someone I know or that Ill meet by chance
Are you somewhere close or in a far away land
Across the ocean or burnin sand, Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
Dont care how long it takes
I know when I do itll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe miami on some sandy beach
New york city making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
You could be a checker at the grocery store
For all I know youre the girl next door
One thing I know for sure, Ive gotta find you
You might be a waitress workin your way through school
Or the anchor person on the six oclock news
Only my heart knows who, Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
Ddont care how long it takes
I know when I do itll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star

Somethin' Bad
Well they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lost their common blue
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that something bad has gotta change
But I know that something bad has gotta change
Well I see them working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that something bad has gotta change
But I know that something bad has gotta change
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that something bad has gotta change

You've Gotta Gotta Go
You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
Down low!
Then you say to me,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I've come to be with you?
Then you say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I want to stay.
I've come such a long way!
You must know why,
My time with you is treasured.
I want you in my life.
For more than just what is pleasured.
But then you say no...
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?
Please don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's try to forget,
All regrets we once kept.
Don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's start out fresh,
And build on love that's left.
Don't you know,
I've learned a few lessons too!
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?

Peace Of Mind
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time
You love her so and still you know
That you will never want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still theres just one thing
You havent got.
Peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
Its hard to face that open space.
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time
When first you gave and shared your soul
Showed her all those things that take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
Its hard to face that open space.
Youre lookin for peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin for peace of mind.
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time.

Bring him to his wife and kids

Got To Be Free
(malik pendelton/nicole johnson)
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Long goodbyes, stolen glances
Cant explain all thats happened in our past
Im tired of creating lies to be alone
Im living wrong, were living wrong
More and more you make me
Afraid to come around
You take the pleasure out of being in love
And being down and down and down and down and down
For the one whos there for me
All I really want to be is free, yeah
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
You dont know why, havent got a clue
In the dark about why I am leaving you
You cant expect me to go on this way
No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me
Realize what I have home
Whats taboos exciting
But sometimes it just gets old
Sometimes it just gets old
For as long as I am me, boy
All I really want to be is free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
