Born To Love U

(Jussie Smollett)

Here we go again, here we go again, fire and emotion
All up in your face, 'bout to walk away, both our hearts are broken
But the moment you're gone all my colors fade
Them bullets and bombs start to ricochet, oh
I'm defenseless you need me blown away

I was born to love you
And nobody else will do
I would rather die than live without you
And everybody know it too
Don't know why we go to war
But the one thing that's for sure
I was born to love you
I know I'm

Born to love you
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Born to love you (I was born to love you)
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah)
Born to love you (born to love you)

I don't wanna fight, not another time, i just wanna feel you
You ain't gotta try, you ain't gotta change, I just want the real you
Cause the moment you're gone all my colors fade
Them bullets and bombs start to ricochet, oh
I'm defenseless you need me blown away
He hey

I was born to love you
And nobody else will do
I would rather die than live without you
And everybody know it too
Don't know why we go to war
But the one thing that's for sure
I was born to love you
I know I'm

Born to love you
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Born to love you (I was born to love you)
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah)
Born to love you (born to love you)

Born to love, born to live
Born to die if I lose your kiss
Born to hold, won't let go
Born to love you so you'll always know
You'll always know
Born to love you

I was born to love you
And nobody else will do
I would rather die than live without you
And everybody know it too
Don't know why we go to war
But the one thing that's for sure
I was born to love you
I know I'm

Born to love you
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Born to love you (I was born to love you)

Born to love you (I was born to love you)
Born to love you
Born to love you (yeah)
Born to love you (born to love you)

Snitch Bitch

(Terrence Howard and Petey Pablo)

[Intro: Petey Pablo]
*Police sirens*
Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closed into me then switch up on me
Days are long and nights are lonely
It's better to know cause now I know it and
Whoo

[Verse 1: Terrence Howard]
Sittin' back, reminiscin'
Of how I used to get down and dirty wit' ya
I pull up on a hot block and come and get ya
Wit' a pistol cocked to handle all issues
But never would I thought in a million wishes
After all we stood for, you would start snitchin'
I disregarded lessons that was shared with me
Cause I was taught I'm not supposed to trust any
It's hard to see the frame when you're in the picture
But now the picture's faded, bitch I'm done wit' ya
So gon' head, handle ya business
And get right, cause I'm comin' to visit

[Hook: Petey Pablo & Lucious Lyon]
Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closest to me done, switched up on me
Days are long n' nights are lonely
It's better to know it, cause now I know it
You ain't nothing but a snitch, bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch bitch, snitching ass bitch
And you know it, and you know it
And I know it (I know it)
And you know I know it (you know I know it)

[Verse 2: Terrence Howard]
Blood is thicker than water the people say
I say people will say whatever you pay em' to say
And some will say whatever just to have something to say
You done said it, would you please get the hell on the way
I'll never trust another single one of y'all
Cause trust is just something you just don't get involved
Back stabbing bitches get you knocked-off
Classified information being passed off
They doin' deals, they at the round table
Pen and a pad, they making wild statements
Forget your allegations and your investigations
I knew this day was coming, I'd been patiently waiting

[Hook: Petey Pablo & Lucious Lyon]
Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closest to me done, switched up on me
Days are long n' nights are lonely
It's better to know it, cause now I know it
You ain't nothing but a snitch, bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch bitch, snitching ass bitch
And you know it, and you know it
And I know it (I know it)
And you know I know it (you know I know it)

[Verse 3: Terrence Howard (Petey Pablo)]
Temperature in the hundreds hot as hell at this moment
Everything looks suspicious coming around these corners
A man wanted, you can play around if you want to
Ain't no safety, ain't no holster and my hands is on it
Now, I ain't going easy as you think I'm gon' go
Imma lay low for a minute then I'm coming for those
That decided to cross the road and roll with the wrong folks
Like playing a grand piano but tapping the wrong notes
Whoo!
Clyde told me (Keep your eyes open for the jealous hittas)
Clyde told me (Keep your head low cause they talking pictures)
My partner Cyde told me when they try to convince you they chillin' with you
Pay very close attention my hitta! my hitta! my hitta!

[Hook: Petey Pablo & Lucious Lyon]
Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closest to me done, switched up on me
Days are long n' nights are lonely
It's better to know it, cause now I know it
You ain't nothing but a snitch, bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch bitch, snitching ass bitch
And you know it, and you know it
And I know it (I know it)
And you know I know it (you know I know it)

Hourglass

(V. Bozeman)

You say you're right, I'll say you're wrong
You'll be polite, but continue on
And I'll say it might be true
If you want me to, ooo

You say it's night, and I'll say it's morning
You'll see the light, and pretend you don't
And I'll close a blind, if you, really want me to
If that's what you want to do

[Chorus]
But life has its own arranges
As time passes on, it changes
The hourglass moves on a grain
And our path is torn and strained

You say we fight, I'll say we argue
Maybe you're right, that we really are through
And I'll say goodbye, if you really want me to
Cause that's what I'm gonna do

You say it's mine, I'll say it's yours
Maybe the time has come, to finish our scores
And I'll break my promise too, if you want me to
That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
But life has its own arranges
As life passes on, we're strangers
And our past is blown away
The hourglass is thrown and breaks

[Outro]
And I'll take a fall for you
If that's what you want me to

How many girls in the world right now
Who know what I'm talking 'bout?
Had a man who called you pretty at home
But never when he takes you out

I'm bout to blow, I'm bout to blow, I'm bout to blow

[Verse 1: Yazz]

Greatness, I'm destined for more than the universe

Hand me the ball and I ran it back

Pop plotted on me but momma, she ride for me
Tell 'em Tim

[Hook: Timbaland]
We winning got money so long it a take
A life time for us to try to spend it
Grind like LeBron put up numbers
We balling we the ones contending

So we bout to blow, we bout to blow, blow, blow, blow
Say we bout to blow, we bout to blow, we bout to blow

Handle my business, I do it so properly
Nobody copy me, my monopoly
Building my dynasty, here for the fortune, takin' no losses
Whatever it takes I get through it no caution
'Till I'm in the coffin
Ride with no brakes, I won't stop or fall off this
Might turn out on it
Ride through the night, I'mma shine in the mornin'
Cause I want the Forbes list
Timbo, Timbo, kill 'em

[Hook: Timbaland]
We winning got money so long it a take
A life time for us to try to spend it

Everybody say hey oh, alright, everybody say hey oh, alright
Baby if you ain’t on the dance floor
Then baby what you got all that ass for?
Let me show you how we do it
Show her to the club where the bad ones do it
Line up the shots, throw it back, do it
Light it, throw it in the air, do it
You wanna take it off, baby, do it
In this party ain’t no social media
No camera phones, so let’s get it on
You can do what you wanna do
And do who you wanna do
Be what you wanna be
Freak who you wanna freak
Beep beep who got the keys to the suite?

Ella dice que no asta enamorada de mi
Pero la gusta como yo lo doy
Mami esta noche fiesta
Mañana puedes ser honesta

Than this shot of Tequila
I've earned the right to just not give a damn
About a damn thing but throwing my hands up
I want it all night, all night with you
You and your friends
And we gonna watch the sunrise
If it's alright with you
And then we'll do it all again

Ain't About The Money

(Jussie Smollett and Yazz)

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (you know like I know say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
Think about it, think about it
Ain't no need to think about it
Get that Money, keep that power
No they not the same thing
Money can be anybody
This somebody, that nobody
When it comes to power
Circle, super small and maintain
Money make em' do it cause of what you give to em'
Power make em' do it cause you told them to do it
Money make you fly, power never die, don't know why
Money can't be lost, power never need an alibi
Blood thicker than the champagne
Power in my pride, power in my last name

[Pre-Hook: Jussie Smollett]
Said if I don't know nothing, I know this paper
Bigger than the world stepping over skyscrappers
If I don't know nothin', one thing I know
Power over money, man that's just how it go

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (you know like I know say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power

[Verse 2 :Yazz]
When I'm in your presence you can feel the power
Even if this company was built from powder
Girls, kissin, on the couch, women, in the, shower
Surround, myself with kings, you can keep the cowards
Everytime I reminisce, I'm rappin' different bitches
Blood is thicker than water but BS is the thickest
Let the chain round my neck tell my life story
Born into the money but would die for glory
Get ready for the takeover, that face, lip and makeover
That case, that I break open, that great fifth like beethoven
If you, wanna get it poppin', I can be in the team
Thirty-four, in a, rocket cause Hakeem's the dream
(Get it? They don't get it)

[Bridge: Jussie Smollett]
Oooh, we're makin' moves
You're only doing what my power let you do
You see that money isn't everybody's thing
When it comes to power, can only be one king

[Pre-Hook: Jussie Smollett]
Said if I don't know nothing, I know this paper
Bigger than the world stepping over skyscrappers
If I don't know nothin', one thing I know
Power over money, man thats just how it go

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (you know like I know say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power

Never Love Again

(Jussie Smollett)

So long, sweet words
Don't have no use for you anymore
No one to say them to
So what in the hell would I hold on to them for?
And today's a special day, a celebration
Cause I've finally come to accept this fact
And the fact is that

[Chorus]
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you

So long, happiness
We don't know each other anymore
Ooh, and bye bye Sexy Saturday
With your head on my chest
In front of the TV, lying on the floor
Tonight's a special night
Congratulations to me for making sure that you'll never be back
And that's the reason that

[Chorus]
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you

Hello, loneliness
Where's your friend, depressed?
I'll be spending a lot of time with the both of you
Goodbye, sunny days, I'll be in the rain
Watching time go by just added to the pain

[Chorus]
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you
I'll never love again, I'll never love again
I'll never love again the way that I love you

[Outro]
Baby, said I'll never love again the way that I love you

From the bottom I got up, to the top of the pro's
From the gutter to the shutter, trimmed out in gold
Life bless my soul, God bless my mold
Nothing less than the best, so the rest is old
Don't wanna play chess, wanna lock and load
Wanna tag some toes, wanna send you home
It ain't about the pain

[Verse 2: Bre-Z]
Look
From the bottom I started, so it's nothing that you can say to me
A product of where I grew up, and it's the newest slavery
People see you trying hard, like why you wanna play with me
I bring them heaters out, somebody better pray for me
Cause all I know is this money, I gotta have it
These suicidal thoughts getting bad, I'm getting madder
Uh, they say the good die young, I put the peddle to the medal hit the gas then I'm gone
Now I'm front line at the court, and I'm 'bout to take a shot
I pull it up, cock it back, let it fly
Now I'm watching for the back board
And when they say the world is yours, i just let them know
That I'm just trynna score

Y'all want some, come get some

If you ever been through it, then I'm knowing you gotta feel it
You witnessing the struggle from the realest, what the deal is
They trynna lock me down, but they created a monster
I'm beating down your block, and nobody can't stop us
(You was over there talking all kinds of tough
While you sipping on your little bit of "pick me up"
When you say you like to play a little fistacuff
So when the whistle puffs, I'm gonna call your bluff)
Words from a wise man, never let 'em see you hand
In the end, I bet they all gon' understand
You can't stop what you can't see, standing here is only me
So place your bet and gone prepare for your defeat
(I caught a new jack, it said kid guard ya check
There's a brother over there, that wanna bounce your neck
Ain't you 'fraid of that, watch you fade to black)

Heavy

(Jussie Smollett)

[Intro: Jussie Smollett]
All hail the King
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown, wears the crown
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown

Eeehhhh (let's go)
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown (crown)
Always used to think that that was just some damn excuse
Something that the weak say cause they couldn't hold it down (down)
But now that I wear it I know that shit to be true
No complainin' now
Daddy raise a soldier whether he do it or not
He supplied the pain and put it in the music, made it hot
Strong back, Strong shoulders

[Pre-Chorus]

Not just the crown

[Chorus]
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (oooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)

And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sittin' on top of me (ooooh heavy)

Head in my hands, more frequent

So that means no surrenderin' and no retreatin'
Everythings on me. (hey)
Everybody wonderin what its gonna be. (hey)
Is he gonna fail, is he gonna succeed?
Everybody keep watchin' and watchin' carefully

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm holdin' up a lot

Same time I'm at the top (wooo!)

Battle Cry

(Jussie Smollett)

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
I fought this fight before
And lucked up on a win
Bravery prevailed
The opposition fell but now they're back again

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
And all of my fears
And all of my doubts
They're lacing their boots
And grabbing their guns
The war is on now
Ohh and they marching in
Ohhhh, Ohhh
And they marching in
Ohh I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they marching in
Ohhhh Ohhhhh

[Verse 2: Jusssie Smollett]
Fear inside my brain (terrified)
And doubt takes over love (paralyzed)
Darkness clouds align
But I won't lose this fight
No giving in
No giving up
No, even though..

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
All of my fears
And all of my doubts
Are outside my door
Ready for war
Right here and now
Ohh and they marching in
Ohhhh Ohhhh
And they marching in
Ohhhh Ohhhh
And they marching in
Ohh I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they marching in
Ohhhh, Ohhhh

[Verse 3: Jussie Smollett]
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today

I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today

I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today

I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today

But they marching in...

Ohh and they marching in
Ohh and they marching in
Ohh I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they marching in
Ohhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh

Do Something With It

(Serayah)

Oh, I see it on your face baby
You wanna know how I taste, baby
Watching me whine my waist, baby
You want a piece of this cake, cake, cake
You like to watch, it's gotten nasty
But I ain't mad at you, I ain't even mad at you
Darling let's start, I know you wanna touch me
And darling I ain't even mad at you

'Cause you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
I'ma poke it out so you can see it clear
Said you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
Own it like you want it and get over here

(x2)
Come and do something with it, do something with it
Standing there staring at it, boy come and get it
Come and do something with it, do something with it
Standing there staring at it, boy come and get it

'Cause you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
I'ma poke it out so you can see it clear
Said you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
Own it like you want it and get over here

Getting on my nerves, baby
I got you hot I see you sweating out your shirt baby
But you still just sittin' watching me work, baby
Yellow as your body eryday, eryday

Boy I can tell you thinking nasty
But I ain't mad at you, I ain't even mad at you
I know what you want, but still you haven't asked me
Baby you bout to make me mad at you

'Cause you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
I'ma poke it out so you can see it clear
Said you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
Own it like you want it and get over here

Come and do something with it, do something with it
Standing there staring at it, boy come and get it
Come and do something with it, do something with it
Standing there staring at it, boy come and get it

'Cause you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
I'ma poke it out so you can see it clear
Said you lookin' like you want it now
What the hell you waiting for
Own it like you want it and get over here

You Broke Love

(Jussie Smollett)

Delta John to Alpha one, said my systems checkin', something's going on
What to do, are you coming through?
Delta John to alpha one, said my systems crashed and something's come undone
911, copy, copy you

Delta John to alpha one, said my system check is done
Know the rules of how to play, learn the truth it happened today
Cause you won't love and he can't leave, you can't fight the urge to cheat
You just hide awake, alone, till the night and days are gone

So be good, fair thee well, follow through, move on
Mon ami (mon ami), you be true (you be true), and I'll try be strong
But you won't love the way you should
Sometimes love can make it good
If you're listening, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

But you hurt love, la, la, la, love, la, love, la, love
But you hurt love, la, la, la, love, la, love, la, love

Made the choice to play the field
But you got nervous and high at the wheel
You like to voice, you reek of pill
But, you get coward at times at the deal
Cause you can't love and he won't leave, and you can't hide the urgency
Till the night and days are gone, still you try and wake alone

So be good, c'est la vie, fair thee well, move on
Mon ami (mon ami), you be true (you be true) and I'll try and be strong
Cause you won't love the way you should, sometimes love can make it good
If you're listening, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You broke love, la, la, la, love, la, love, la, love
You broke love, la, la, la, love, la, love, la, love

Whoop ti do, c'est la vie
Say goodbye, say I'm free
Say so long, stay with him
May the good Lord keep ya, I hope you get some help
Go to hell, nothing's left inside this shell
Cause I've lived this long, and nothing's wrong when living ends, no

You Broke Love, la, la, la, love, la, love, la, love
You Broke Love, la, la, la, love, la, la, la, love, la, love
But you broke love, la, la, la, love, la, la, la, love, love, love
You broke love, oh love, la, la, love

Same Song

(Bre-Z)

It's a cold war, put that on ice
The devil like to come out and play at night
I try live my life, right do that twice
But when it all went wrong, I knew you were right
Street for label to a chill ??? had you caged
Them gorillas, blood money from a dope dealer
Tell me how the hell to post a deal with ya?
God bless your soul 'cause you're going now
All this forgiven 'cause I'm grown now
Gotta make it out my own hell now
I put the pin up, and put the gun down
Every word spoken never went in vain
Speaking to the world, take away my pain
They say you live once, then you go with the shame
I guess I'm saying the same

Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go

Tryina keep the grip on my sanity, right?
They don't really know the cost to this life
The hurt, the hunger, the time never right
Got to kill it everything not in place
...
