My Own Best Friend
Im beginning to like you
But, you know that aint right
cause youll just twist and twist and twist
Till Im all crooked inside
Then youll take all you gave me
Like it never was there
And I think that I might, no! I know
Yes, I will help you there
cause ...
Chorus
Ive done it before
And Id do it again
cause its the only time
That makes me feel like im
My own best friend
Im a victim of friction I just got too close to see
Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me
And the lamp gets real heavy and it hangs from my heart
And it comes, and it goes
Till I cant tell the difference apart
But ...
Repeat chorus
So many people say
Itll never work out that way
You cant stand the heat
While youre watching your heart
Just melt away in the basement
On a rainy day
La la la
La la la
La lala
Lalala la lalaaaaaaaaaa ...
Theres motel in shreveport
Dont ask me where, please
They check in, they check out
By the light of the color t.v.s
And the maid calls you honey
And she makes your bed slow
And she speaks, of the sheets that dont fit
But you know that she knows
That ...

Steppin On Top Of Your World
Ive seen that look
A look I know well
I cant decide
If this is heaven or this is hell
Inside your mind
That twisted device
Made up of fire
But it comes across like ice
I need to know what youre thinkin
And why you are here
If you had power
Who would make you disappear
Laughing without smiling
I cant take no more
Dancin in the madness
With the rope you twist thats around my neck
You know youre making me feel
Like a cancelled check
Chorus:
I said hey, you
Im steppin on top of your world
(Im steppin on top)
(Im steppin on top)
Hey you
Im steppin on top of your world
Warped by the curse
Youre puttin on me
I lay awake at night
And revenge is all I see
Times runnin out
But what should I do
It seems like the worst
Just aint good enough for you
Theres talkin, theres doin
Theres writing
Of things you dont know
The storys the same
But the answer is always unknown
Trying to remember
What Ive done to you
You dont even know me
With the rope that you twist
Thats around my neck
You know youre making me feel
Like a cancelled check

Dont Mean Nothing
Welcome to the big time.
Youre bound to be a star
And even if you dont go all the way,
I know that youll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Aint no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
Cause it dont mean nothin
The words that they say
Dont mean nothin
These games that people play
No, it dont mean nothin
No victim, no crime
It dont mean nothin
Till you sign it on the dotted line
The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, I love your work, babe but
Youre just not what were looking for
Its never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that california snow
Take a good look around and youll find
People tryin to mess with your mind
Repeat chorus
Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
Cause stars are always shining
Doesnt matter if its day or night
The producer says, let me change a line or two
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When youre trying to make a living,
There aint no such thing as pride, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
It dont mean nothing at all. . .

Promise Aint Enough
Dont wanna open your heart
Youre afraid from the start
That a new loves gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I dont believe in the run around
I just want to define myself
And show you how you feel
Chorus:
If a promise aint enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise aint enough
Hold onto my love
Though my words cant describe
How Im feeling all inside
Does my touch says anything to you
Im not afraid to take time
Cause Ill know youll find
That Im real and my touch is true
Its taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all you
Chorus: (repeat)
It took a lifetime to find what I want
I wont let it get away

Say Youll Be Mine
Chorus:
Do you wanna be in love forever
Do you wanna make my dream come true
Let me be the one to kiss and hold you
Say youll be my baby
Can you see the two of us together
Living in love this whole life through
Do you wanna be in love forever
Say youll be mine
I can remember
When my mind was clear and free
Now theres a feeling
Coming over me
The sweetest attraction
That my heart has ever seen
Im going crazy making sense of anything
(repeat chorus twice)
I really wonder
Is there magic in your smile
Taking me under
Got me acting like a child
Something about you
Hits me like avalance
I try to stand my ground
But I dont stand a chance
(repeat chorus)
Every time I close my eyes I deram about
Hugging you, holding you, kissing you boy
Its driving me crazy
But even if it takes forever
To win your heart and your love and your devotion
I know its gonna be worth the wait
Ooh, say youll be my baby
Ooh, be my baby
Ooh, oh darlin, say youll be mine
(repeat chorus)
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be my baby

Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be mine

See if it aint yellow

[regina bell harmonizing while dmx speaks]
What good is it..
For a man to, gain the world..
Yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[bell] God loves you, yes he does
Said youre alright with him
[dmx] I wonder..
Chorus: regina bell (repeat 2x)
I know you never seen him but dont fight with him
Youre gonna make it through the night to the light with him
Uhh, youre alright with him
I said youre alright with him
[dmx]
Im callin out to you lord, because I need your help
See once again Im havin difficulty savin myself
Behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
Im in so much pain when Im here lord, please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work aint done
To live is to suffer, but youre still my son
And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
But there wont be a, his or hers, just ours
Then youll see what Ive been tryin to show you, all these years
Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers
I will, my lord, with my heart, and my soul
Thats gonna be how I roll, from now until Im old
Lead and Ill follow, you take away the sorrow
Ima sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
Chorus
[dmx]
I want you to know lord, that for what youve given me Im thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, Im grateful
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak, they know Im here to teach
Cant tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and lord, Im lovin the touch
But deep inside, Ive got somethin thats workin against
Everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
Thats when you must fight harder, than youve ever fought before
Cause what youve got goin on inside you is a war
Between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
They smile, but are not really happy when they see you
Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
Cause when the time comes, that onell let you die
Listen to me! Im here, but I can only help you
If you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
Chorus
[dmx]
My lord, my saviour, dont judge my behaviour
But instead, take whats in my heart and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I dont know if Ill do good enough (hes by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)
Sometimes I dont know what to do (x, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (itll be alright)
You keep givin me the word, and Ill put it to song
Talk to me, Ill talk to them, and we cant go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my lord, for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there, did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, aint no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too
With the lord behind us, there aint nothin that we cant do
Chorus
[regina bell]
Hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause itll be alright
Yeah, hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, itssssssssss gonna be alright

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live

Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin

Everybody got to win

One of these days youll turn around
And wanna get out of this someday town
Well people gonna laugh you know what theyll say

Well therell be fear and therell be doubt
But theyre just things thatll slow you down
Just put em all in a great big pile
And stand back

And burn, baby like a big ol fire
Build it up with your one desire
And one of these days you just might change their minds
Shine the light, blind em by
A big ol fire
A big ol fire
And one of these days youll find someone
Who lights you up like the rising sun
But hes been hurt and he wont feel
Like handin you a heart of steel
Well dont you run now just you stay
cause youre the one that can melt away
The loneliness down in his heart
Just take him in your arms

Build it up with your one desire
And one of these days you just might find the love

Youre gonna love me or leave me

Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be

As you pull it out as you stick it in

of this misery
some days ill try to find
a thought swarming in my mind
to say to you
i dont know what to do

there must be something going on
this dumb thing is making me run
what is that called again
oh yes a rumor
it must end sooner
ive counted rumors up to ten

you cant be happy when there is no happiness
you cant be angry when there is no angryness
you cant be sad when there is no sadness
you cant be mad when there is no madness

Especially with those emerald eyes
You might have been a neon lover

Well come on, well come on
You might have been a crackshot shooter
Hung up on your figurine
Under the cold and darkly sky
Youre the only light Ive seen

Well come on, well come on
And it happens everytime
Im still hanging on the line
Dont want to go up and down

Stranger
Dont spend your life like a dime
I thought you are not for hire
Stand for your rights - dont look at the past
I dont know - I dont care - my brains
Spinning round like a wheel
Dont feel like a stranger
Dont feel like a stranger
So turn around leave your feelings behind
Just calm down keep the devil inside
Its like a stone lying in your head
You never know - this time it could be real
And then youll realize
Maybe youre wrong this time
Do something in your life
And then itll work out
Dont feel like a stranger
Everything can be real
Dont feel like a stranger
Move on like a wheel
So you dont know - what is the reason
Its up to you to sell your life so easy
I thought you were learning from the past
Cant you feel deep inside when youre breaking the chains
And then youll realize
Maybe youre wrong this time
Do something in your life
And then itll work out
Dont feel like a stranger
Everything can be real
Dont you know youre in danger
Move on like a wheel
And when it works out
Dont turn around
Something is in your heart
So let it free - oh yeah
Oh yeah
Dont feel like a stranger
Listen to me - everything can be real
Dont feel like a stranger
Move on like a wheel
Dont feel like a stranger
Everything can be so real
Dont you know youre in danger
Move on like a wheel
Dont feel like a stranger...

Our Last Goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Open your eyes
Here in the dead of the night
Lying here with you by my side, dont know if this is wrong or its
Right
Wishing this was just another day, baby, I can feel its too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
Chorus:
Baby, dont cry, I can see weve lost the feeling
Wont you open your eyes and try to find your smile
Weve known each other too long to let it all slip away
But when alls said and done, weve said our last goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Baby, weve been living a lie
And even though it hurts deep inside
I know there can be no, no, no compromise cause too many chances have
Passed
And if you want a love that can last, never try to push things too
Fast
And even though Ive no regrets, I still recall the night we met
We said wed never end, so, baby, listen
Repeat chorus
Rap:
All the memories we had, I wouldnt change a thing
And with the lights down low, Im dreaming of what could have been
Even though weve tried so many times before
Ill take one look around before I close the door
With this one last kiss, I know deep down inside
The beginning of the end, the ending of our time
Maybe we could try, but, no, its just too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
