I GOT A FEELING
Wherever the groove goes
I got to follow
I’m glued to the rhythm like you to the bottle
Souls grow hollow/ seeking survival
Running from their rival/ the fear of tomorrow/time
Give me a minute
Imma get up in it
Stretch my legs/pivot/ make it drop like a ribbit
I heard the man want his project backs
Well I’m good with that
Think I’m bout ready to jet set
Cuz I got a feeling (Yes Lord)
It’s hunting season (Yes Lord)
Betta run for your freedom (Yes Lord)
Stomping like a heathen
Dancing and a grieving
Heat rising to the ceiling
Til the paint get to peeling
Til this pain that I’m feeling
Getting down Lord
Getting down Lord
Get me down Lord
Getting down Lord
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Verse2:
Na na na na na
So call it a feeling or say that it’s healing
Lose yourself give it all the way to the spirit
Feeling up the bass, make her wind up her waist
Throw her head back like she alone in the place
Fingers tingling
Baby you’re jingling
Getting free tonight
Ain’t worried ‘bout mingling
Just you and the groove tonight
The music’s getting me through the night
Heyyyy
Cuz I got a feeling (Yes Lord)
It’s hunting season (Yes Lord)
Betta run for your freedom (Yes Lord)
Stomping like a heathen
Dancing and a grieving
Heat rising to the ceiling
Til the paint get to peeling
Til this pain that I’m feeling
Going down Lord (3x’s)
Getting down Lord (4x’s)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Higher, take me higher Lord, fill me, fill me up

RUNAWAY LYRICS BY MAIMOUNA YOUSSEF AND TOBIAS TRUVILLION
Oooooo
She’s calling you out on the floor
Oooooo
Show her what you know
Oooooo
She’s calling you out on the floor
Oooooo
There’s something special about this place
Something about your face
Ancient attraction / I feel it taking over me
Why you standing so far / come fill my curiosity
Excitement of the unknown / come on baby trust me
Trust the ocean, letting go
No more fear, lose control
Rides the waves, can you feel the breeze
I feel like I’m dreaming
Keep the motion, getting wet
Moving close, chest to chest
Ride the way, of this fantasy
Come and runaway with me
Runaway with me (Oh)
Runaway with me (Oh)
Runaway with me
Won’t you runaway with me
Runaway with me (Oh)
Runway with me (Runaway with me)
Hey, won’t you runaway with me
Come runaway with me / to a place we can both be free
Your lips so buttery, I quiver with joy when you touch me
Completely exposed I’m ready to go deep
See I surrender to this perfect serenity
Trust the ocean (trust the ocean) letting go (letting go)
No more fear (no more fear) lose control
Rides the waves feel the breeze
I feel like I’m dreaming
Keep the motion (keep the motion) getting wet (getting wet)
Moving close (Oh) chest to chest
ride the way of this fantasy
Come and runaway with me
Runaway with me x 2
(Come runaway, come back, come run away with me)
Runaway with me
(Come runaway, come run back)
Come Runaway with me
Runaway with me
(come run back come runaway with me)
Runway with me x 2
(Come runaway come run back come run away with me)
Ooo ah huh huh Ooo ah huh huh (repeat rhythmically x 16)
Runaway with me x 2
(Come runaway come run back come run away with me)
Runaway with me
(Come runaway come run back)
Come Runaway with me
Runaway with me
(come run back/ come runaway with me)
Runway with me x 2
(Come runaway, come run back, come run away with me)

Come runaway come run back come runaway with me
Oooooo

Never Bring Me Down
I’m tired of you hating ass niggas
Faking like you want to see me win but really trying to do me in
Get under my skin, cuz you resent my confidence
You’d rather see me broken, ‘cuz I ain’t ego stroking
Nah, I’m a brazen heifer
Bad mutha fucka
I grow in the shade
Nigga you created a monster
Fuck what you’re used to
I got that black girl juju
Back water track slaughter
Swagger when I move through
Edges stay fleeky
Sneaker game squeaky
Serving Nefertiti
In that fresh dashiki
You fuck boys jealous of women
I bet you dressing up in my clothes I left in the kitchen
Hate to see me winning,
Scared of my light,
Don’t want to let me shine
I’m the genuine article, I’m a one of a kind
But you love a mediocre bitch
You place her neck to neck with me I swear I’ll choke a bitch
You weak broads make it hard to gain leverage
You’re sucking dicks for deals but I ain’t having none of it
The ground I put them under it
You wouldn’t last a day in my stilettos
Melanin kisses
Genuine thickness
I was made in the ghetto
See Normally I don’t cuss and shit
But you niggas thinking you running shit
And that’s dumb as shit
I ain’t gonna be finished ‘til I’m done with it
I told you I was good for the culture
When I’m winning, we all winning
But you pretending you fucking vulture
Don’t even raise your black fist up
When you see me in the streets don’t even dap me up
You uncle Ruckas mutha fuckas need a Samuel L Jack bitch slap
Yeah I’m talking that Jango
The way we let them thangs go
Don’t want that pie in the sky, I need my cake on my plate
Short me my fries, I’m gonna get out the gate
You stay trying to put me in my place
But I’m already here
A self-aware black woman is your worst fear
Hook:
I don’t have no time for waiting all around for
I don’t really want no, hangers on my rain coat
Please sir, vultures all around
Please sir, why you wanna bring me down
Look at what you made me, God please save me
From mine enemies creeping all around me
Please sir, I can feel them now
Please sir never gonna bring me down
2nd verse:
Now don’t get me wrong
I love my brothers
I give you all your propers
But don’t be mad at me ‘cuz I’m a show stopper
Yeah I’m a jaw dropper
Flyer than a helicopter
Read you like a teleprompter
But I’ll never tell a cop’a
I’m a boss no bitch suffix is necessary
Very hard body like Chevy
I’m colder than January
Hold all of your commentary
Don’t need no more promissories
I told you that you ain’t ready
Lot men can’t deal with women of my caliber
If you can’t control her, fuck her, own her then you mad at her
I walk by smelling like ylang ylang and lavender
But my body is mine sir, go and get a cavalier
Tell me how I’m fucking for what’s already mine,
Shit it I earned it
I worked hard for every gotdamn dime,
Only concerned with
My money being brought on time,
And when the revolution popping off, I’m on front line
Sometimes being a woman is like being black twice
I Gotta scream fire instead of rape
And you tell me act nice
Look pretty
Stay slim
Don’t talk loud
Don’t think
Don’t feel
Don’t act proud
But if I’m at my lowest, how are you 100 percent?
God made women and man for the balance of it
So will the real men please stand up
And defend what God made signing off with love
Hook:
I ain’t have no time for , waiting all around for
I don’t really want no, hangers on my rain coat
Please sir, vultures all around
Please sir, why you wanna bring me down
Look at what you made me, God please save me
From mine enemies creeping all around me
Please sir, I can feel them now, please sir you’re never
Gonna bring me down
And I Know, I know, I know
Licking off shots like, blaaow blaow blaow
We be bustin shots like, blaaow blaow blaow
We be bustin shots like blaaow blaow blaow
Licking off shot like blaaow blaaow blaaow

Never Lie To You
Verse 1:
He like girl you’re beautiful
My one and only
You my special one I call when I’m lonely
I think you’re gifted
Yup you’re a winner
Here’s an invitation to my place for dinner
I want you so bad, I can’t wait for it
Can’t you see my love is blind, i’ll even pay for it
What’s your vice girl
I want to get you loose
What’s your preference
Mary Jane or Grey Goose
You getting down with that syrup or you need a boost
This ya first time trust me I got you
Relax girl I got you
I’d never lie to you
Insincere words for insecure girls
Births real bitter bitches in the world
She home cooking in the kitchen
You gone fishing
Too many in the sea to settle for chicken
That’s how goldfish become piranhas
Now she’s wreaking havoc as somebody’s baby mama
I Wish you had’ve warned her
Now you’re mad talking ‘bout she ain’t shit
But you played a big part in all of it if you’ll admit
She’s everything you made her
You never should have played her
You ain’t wanna save her
Wish a real man had’ve raised her
To love herself more than compliments and paper
Hook: I’d never fool you with those words that hungry girls have heard whispered in the dark
Verse 2:
She like boo I miss you
Wanna be near you
Can you make some time
I need to feel you
I’m at the Marriott
Down on 4th street
I’ll even pay for the cab
Just come and meet me
I’m feeling kinky
Won’t you and king me?
You’re the only one that I’m loving in between the sheets
You’re something special
You’re on my level
The best I’ve ever had out of only several
Let’s get away on a day for a vacay
I got them edibles that will make you levitate
Before it gets late
Hold on baby wait
(who you talking to?)
Huh? It’s no body just my mother baby
She so scandalous
No matter how the man is
Hurt feelings just collateral damages
She so thirsty / With no mercy
She got that live in D to pay the rent fee
Call him her roommate
She stay out late
She got that good cake
Loose like Chipotle
But she living a lie
And he feeling the fire
Don’t you look in her eyes
Having you catching a vibe
She keep her body right
She know what men like
She treat him like a king but pimp him on the side
She let that biscuit and that fry drive her nigga’s ride
No class all ass and plenty of pride
Common’s Verse:
Now I am supposed to be conscious
And I heard love conquers all
My bloodline don’t love swine
Thugs grind everyday for a better way
I serenade you you for forgiveness
‘Cause I hit once does that make her my mistress
Love is a trip let’s go the distance
You know where we from
We can overcome resistance
Power power to the people
The people that put the work in
Cause we all know that
Nothin is for sure nothin’ is for certain
But ‘til we leave this earth free it’s just you and me
That’s what she meant by U N I T Y
Let me lead by example
The you I fell in love with them other girls I ran through
Girl you got that light know they can’t hold a candle to you
Come sit by your guru
Let’s play D’s Voodoo let these words speak to you
Its crucial
(echo) Let’s play D’s Voodoo let these words speak to you

SAY MY NAME
If I should die tomorrow at the hands of the policeman
And the papers say
We're going to call it a suicide, would you even question why
Would you shake your head and say the ain't right
Or do your best to forget about me
Please, please, please don't forget about me
Ohhhh, say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Don't forget my name
Say my name
Don’t forget my name
If I should die tomorrow
At the hands of the policeman
And the papers say, we're going to call it a suicide
Would you even question why
Would you believe in my innocence
Would you even come to my defense
Would you believe in the good I’ve done
Or will my name be smeared and my story unsung
Will you search for the answers or take what they hand us
Who's going to stand with me
Please please please don't forget about me
Ohhhh, Say my name
Say my name
Say my Name
Say my name
Don't forget my name
Say my name
Don’t let it be in vain
Rap:
Even the sun goes down
Heroes eventually die
Shot with their hands in the sky
Your favorite revolutionaries give up and comply
For a house on the hills, white wife, couple mills
I'm last of Mohicans I guess
Fighting for a cause they say is lost but I can't let it rest
Rebellion in the mammaries of my mama's breasts
And I drank ‘til I was drunk, like I was lean off that Crunk.
We living every word that we rapping about
And the struggle it gets hard but we ain't backing out
Nothing is impossible
The word alone says I’m Possible
So I'm the racehorse that I'm riding for
The audacity of hope
To believe we can succeed when everybody and their momma say nope
Well fuck ya'll
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
My name, oh say my name, say my name
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
My name, you know my name, so say my name
Don’t forget my name
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
Say her name, say her name
Don’t forget her name
Don’t let her struggle be in vain
So say her name
She ain’t die in vain

Keep on talking like you heard it from the sky (shine your light 2x)
We ain’t gonna let ‘em bring us down (shine your light 2x)
You know we come too far to give up now (shine your light 2x)
The chosen people bare the hardest load (shine your light 2x)

Child is born with no state of mind
Raised up in this ghetto life
Three strikes got daddy doing time
Feel like he was born under a bad sign
Crooked cops shoot your kids right in the back
They raided my grandmamma house, she had a heart attack
And when black girls go missing they never look for that
This ain’t nowhere to live but shit it’s where we’re at
Always seeming like we falling on some bad times
But we find a way to smile and keep our heads up high
Oh party Just forget about the troubles of the world Hey

Too much hard times will hurt your pride (shine your light 2x)
And the ones that you love don’t ever do you right (shine your light 2x)
So I keep on living with my head up high (shine your light 2x)
Everywhere I go I’m going to shine my light (shine your light 2x)
I’m going to stand on my feet if I have to die (shine your light 2x)
I’ll never live on my knees just to pacify (shine your light 2x)
People don’t you have no fear tonight (shine your light 2x)
God Children were promised everlasting life (shine your light 2x)
Hook:
People come together, forget about the troubles of the world,
Shake it off and let the good times roll,
Shake it off and let the good times roll baby,
Feels good to let the good times roll
