Dont Waste Your Time
Mary j blige & aretha franklin
[mary]
Lately Ive got this funny feeling
Something dont feel the same
But hes telling me Im the one to blame
Yes I know he still gives me good loving
But when hes deep inside
Theres somebody else on his mind
1 - [aretha]dont waste your time
[mary] but it gets so hard to know
[aretha]just walk away
[mary] you say that I got to let go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[aretha]you shouldnt take his stuff no more
[mary] cant waste my time
[aretha]girl its not hard to know
[mary] should walk away
[aretha]oh youve got to let it go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[mary] shouldnt take his sh** no more
[aretha]
Sister girl, sister girl
Its much deeper than what youre thinking
When something dont feel the same
Yeah you better believe his love has change
(and I have been telling you, telling you)
And what youre telling me
(its been hurting me, hurting me)
It aint, it aint complete
Hes got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth, out of his lies
Repeat 1
[aretha & mary]
Whats the point of love
When you got no trust
Whats the point of staying
When you seen enough
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
[mary]
He dont deserve it
No you dont deserve it
[aretha]
Oh whats the point of feeling
[aretha & mary]
Like theres nothing inside
Whats the point of saying
That you still got your pride
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
This is the last time
Im gonna love you
Repeat 1

Lost Child
The person I knew
Is gone today
The person I knew
Has flown away
The person I knew
To my sad dismay
That person I knew
Has gone astray
The Child I knew
Has passed away
How sad I am
Is hard to say
The words too frail
They can't convey
The loss I feel
They can't portray
Each time in thought
I pass this way

I Knew You Were Waiting
(feat. Aretha Franklin)
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow i made it through the heartache
Yes i did. I escaped.
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (i know you did), kept my faith
When the river was deep i didn't falter
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was !ow it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire i kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment, no i don't looking hack
When i think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (i know you do), i just laugh
When the river was deep i didn't fairer
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we snared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me

If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.

We are here knowing that we are at an inflection point in the history of our world. We are at an inflection point in in the history of our nation. We are here because the American Dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before. We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question: Who are we? Who are we as Americans? So, let’s answer that question. To the world. And each other. Right here. And, right now. … We can heal our nation. We can give our children the future they deserve. We can reclaim the American Dream for every single person in our country. We can restore America’s moral leadership on this planet. So let’s do this. And let’s do it together. And let's start now.

Xxx's And Ooo's (An American Girl)
Phone rings baby cries TV diet guru lies
Good mornin' honey
Go to work make up try to keep the balance up
Between love and money

She's trying to make in her Daddy's world
An American girl

Slow dance second chance Momma needs romance
And a live in maid
Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard
