Beautifully Human Words and Sounds Vol 2 lyrics

I'm not afraid - to be your lady
I'm not afraid - to be your whore
I'm not afraid - to be your future
I'm not afraid - to be your soil
In which you plant your seed
Flowers they sprout through me
My fragrance in the breeze
You must nurture me, please
I'm not afraid - to be your baby
I'm not afraid - to be your strength
I'm not afraid - to be open wide
I'm not afraid - to be glutinous

[Intro:]
Heyyy, Ohh, Heyyy, Yeah, Ohh, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahhhh

[Verse 1]
I'm taking my freedom,
Pulling it off the shelf,
Putting it on my chain,
Wear it around my neck,
I'm taking my freedom,
Putting it in my car,
Wherever I choose to go,
It will take me far,

[Chorus]
I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden, [X3]

Do-do-do-do do-do do (repeated throughout)

Verse 1
I can pay my own light bill, baby. Put my own gas in my own car. I can buy my own shoe collection. I've been blessed thus far. I can kill the spider 'bove my bed, although it's hard because I'm scared. I can even stain and polyeurothane, but some things just don't change.

Feeling the way I do
It's hard to keep focus
One minute staring at the moon
Next into your eyes
And it's no surprise
Ooo that my knees weaken
At the lovely words you're speaking
La la la la
It takes more than diamonds to woo me
La la lala
It takes more than money to groove me
Feeling the way I do
It's hard to keep focus
One minute starin at the moon
Next into your eyes

I was just thinking about you,
wondering if you wear the same cologne.
Smell good…on you.
Had, the next boyfriend of mine
tried that same kind…
But it stunk on him, though.
You know what they say:
‘Everything ain’t for everybody.’
But I tried anyway.

You sure did smell good.

Hey, you’ve just run across my mind.
You’ve just run across my mind.

[Verse:]
You're that kind
That turns my head and makes me look
Whoa whoa whoa uh uh uh...uh
You're the kind
That makes me pull single dollars
Out my pocket book, ooh baby
You're sexiness in my restitute makes me
Wanna cook my favorite recipe
And place it on your table, baby
Your in-toxic ting and so divine
You're the kind that stays on a sista's mind

[Chorus:]

Here you go jacket down
Timbs off
Remote control
And there you go
Off into outer space
Distant from me
Where do you go
Your eyes are closed
I'd like to know
I stop
Sit next to you because you seem so blue and pray nothings wrong
Baby I don't want to see us burn down and go up in smoke
No, no, no, no, no

Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me

We at the family reunion, tellin' jokes and playin' spades
Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill
Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made
For the new baby on her way
Even though the daddy ain't really ready
This child is coming...anyway, yeah
Neicey made her famous potatoe salad, somehow it turns out green
Maybe its all the scalyums, could be the celery

I'm truly sorry baby for what I did to you
While you were busy loving me, I was busy too
I played you dirty boy, did some things I shouldn't do
While you were only trying to treat me food
I was playing... damn
I can't even begin to explain
I'm truly sorry boy
Believe me I had my turn
The next time love came along yeah it was me who burned.

mmmmm...
yea yea, oh oh
hey yes...
yea yea (yea), oh oh...
mmm mmm...
you pulled some tricks out your sleeve last night,
everything i fantasize about...
you had me climbin' up a wall,
how many ways was god called?
you represented in the fashion of the truly gifted!
you put it down last night, knocked me out and had me dreamin' 'bout wakin' up aiight!
do you want some money baby?

when we first met, i was surprised to get
that feeling, that feeling, the kind that don't wash away with soap
so sweet to me, ummmmmmm, the kind of feeling i need
to get me through my darkest days, for you i pray

VERSE:
what you do is crazy babe, not like you belong in an
asylum, crazy babe.
like the sun in the morning and the moon at nite, like the rain

I gotta admit sometimes I feel week for loving you the way I do
It's beyond me
I can't control it or force it to be, you know, what I want it to be
I think about you so much when I'm with you and when I'm not
It's deep, the way, just looking in your eyes just changes my whole perspective
Nothing is more beautiful than loving you, holding you being next to you

Intro -
His name was Rasool/ Carmel complected boy fro the 22/ Rough on the outside/ But on the inside he was cool/
Rasool was a king/ But also a fool

Back on the block again with the same crew/
Tariq from the west side / Little John form the avenue /
Always seen um/ bout a quarter to two/ Shaking hands with everybody/

You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow
And oh
How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you
Lie to me repeatedly
And oh
How do I have faith, in you
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could

I can pay my own light bill baby
pump my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you
Sometimes so hard to say
I need you
Some thing remail
I can buy my own groceries baby

I'm truly sorry baby for what I did to you
While you were busy loving me, I was busy too
I played you dirty boy, did some things I shouldn't do
While you were only trying to treat me food
I was playing... damn
I can't even begin to explain
I'm truly sorry boy
Believe me I had my turn
The next time love came along yeah it was me who burned.

I gotta admit sometimes I feel week for loving you the way I do
It's beyond me
I can't control it or force it to be, you know, what I want it to be
I think about you so much when I'm with you and when I'm not
It's deep, the way, just looking in your eyes just changes my whole perspective
Nothing is more beautiful than loving you, holding you being next to you

You pulled some tricks out your sleeve last night
Everything I fantasize about
You had me climbing up a wall
How many ways was God called
You represented in the fashion of the truly gifted
You put it down last night
Knocked me out then had me dreaming bout waking up, alright
Do you want some money baby?
How about some chicken wings?
Do you want some fish and grits?

His name was Rasool
Carmel completed boy from the 22
Rough on the outside
But on the inside he was cool
Rasool was a king
But also a fool
Back on the block again with the same crew
Tariq from the west side
Little John form the avenue
Always seen um bout a quarter to two
Shaking hands with everybody
But at the same time sharing the blues
And oh how he passed it on

You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow
And oh
How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you
Lie to me repeatedly
And oh
How do I have faith, in you
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could

Some of them wanna break you down, steal your crown
Use and abuse you.
Some of them smile in your face, cause they heard it some place,
You got more then their used to
Some of them want to steal your love, ooh
Cuz they're jealous of ...how you're living and giving.
I keep
Moving forward, pressing onward, striving further
I keep
Keep on laughing, keep on living, keep on loving yeah

I'm not afraid to be your lady
I'm not afraid to be your whore
I'm not afraid to be your future
I'm not afraid to be your soil
In which you plant your seed
Flowers, they sprout for me
My fragrance in the breeze
You must nurture me please
I'm not afraid to be your baby
I'm not afraid to be your strength
I'm not afraid to be open wide
I'm not afraid to be glutinous
The essence of glue

when we first met, i was surprised to get
that feeling, that feeling, the kind that don't wash away with soap
so sweet to me, ummmmmmm, the kind of feeling i need
to get me through my darkest days, for you i pray

VERSE:
what you do is crazy babe, not like you belong in an
asylum, crazy babe.
like the sun in the morning and the moon at nite, like the rain

oh oh oh ha hay haay hm hmm hmm
I am a voicetress river
I am a mountain story
I am a quit feeling
I am a fragrant flower

I am a moonlit evening
I am a peaceful night
I am a writer's thinking
I am a wealth unfathomed

And If you don't recognize...my presence
I am here
And If you don't recognize me
I am here.

I am a source of power
I am excited journey
I am a rock of patience
