Testimony: Vol 1, Life & Relationship lyrics

[Akon: Verse 1]
Konvict
Konvict Music uh huh

See I can kinda recall a lil ways back
Small tryin to ball always been black
And my hair I tried it all I even went flat
Had a gummy curled on top and all that crap (o oh)
Just tryin to be appreciated
Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
Then I hit the barber shop real quick
Had a mini lil twist and it drove her crazy (crazy)

Ive achieved so much in life. But Im an amateur in love. My bank account is doing just fine, but my emotions are
bankrupt. My body is nice and strong. But my heart is in a million pieces. When the sun is shining so am I, but when night
falls so do my tears. Somtimes the pain is so loud in my heart. That I can barely tell our voices apart. Sometimes the

Because you never know where life is gonna take you and you can't change where you've been.
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.

[Verse 1:]
Here am I now looking at 30 and I got so much to say.
I gotta get this off of my chest, I gotta let it go today.
I was always too concerned about what everybody would think.
But I can't live for everybody, I gotta live my life for me.(Yeah)

The highest expression of love is to give without expecting,
the highest expressiong of love is to except without expections.
I have so much to learn, I have so much to learn, have so much to learn, o-o-o-o-oh.
[music fades]

Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah!

[Verse 1:]
I wish there was a video game
to teach you your ancestors name
I wish there was a phone number

like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother
I'm thankful for the radio station
Not afraid to put the truth in rotation

there are skirts of information
That you can only get in conversation with...

[Chorus:]
Young People, who talk to
Old People, it would make us

(feat. Rascal Flatts & Victor Wooten)

Goodbye summer - I hate to see you go;
I wasn't ready for the Autumn wind to blow.

So lonely.

We had a fine time time holding hands in June.
Warm in the sunshine; watching loving bloom.

Where are you now?

My heart is frozen in this place.
Waiting for another summer's day;
to bring you back my way.

Hello winter watch the swirling snow.

I just want you to know
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know
That I still love you
That I still love you:

Had to go
Across the water
Just to find
What was here in my heart all along
Spend so much time
Trying to be right
That I was dead wrong

If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors
Surely I can forgive you for your passion

You're only human

In the face of the unexpected (yeah, yeah)
you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow,
but I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live.
Yea-a-a, yea-a-a, yea-a-a,ooo-ah.
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live, with an open heart
yea, a-a-a-a-h.
[Music Fades]

[Chorus]
I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin' baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

I tried to call my mother, but
She didn't get where I was going
I called my boyfriend and he said
Call me back a little later baby

Do do do
Do do do
Do do do do do do dooooooo (4 times)

Good morning silence
Good morning to myself

Good morning to the pain in the center of my chest

It's crazy how much I miss
a simple good morning kiss
oh ohhhhh~

Good morning independence or is it loneliness?
I know I said I wanted this but I have regrets

I pray for God's will to be done
The very next day you were gone

(originally by Don Henley)

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment

These eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

How many more ways can I explain this to you boy
We had had this conversation several times before
I will except nothing less than your complete respect
If you cannot give me that then maybe I should step

These eyes never saw you leavin

Oh God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
The courage to change the things that I can
The wisdom to know the difference
Oh ooh and God give me the courage to love with an open heart,
An open heart, an open heart I wanna love with an open heart
Oh ooh oh with an open heart

[Verse 1:]
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was over rated,
but a lot was a little too complicated
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
A million didn't make me happy
That's when I learned a lesson
That it's all about your perception
Hey-are you a papa or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain't about the size of your car

I've achieved so much in life, but I'm an amateur in love
My bank account is doing just fine,
But my emotions are bankrupt
My body is nice and strong, but my heart is in a million pieces
When the sun is shining, so am I
But when night falls, so do my tears

Sometimes the fear is so loud in my heart
That I can barely tell our voices apart
Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head,
