La Dona lyrics

(feat. Gerald Levert)

Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Gerald
Just this morning I took a stroll through your garden
I watched the sunrise and it made me think of you
The way you talk to the flowers and make them grow
And in the middle of all these flowers
There's one single stem red rose

What Michelle say?
Do you love her as much as you love me?

I sit alone
I watch the phone get dial toned
Then you I've known
The marrow bone
A rolling stone
My body's well
On cigarettes and coffee grounds
Tears of a clown
Love had me downs
Reverbs and nouns

Because I can't stand the rain
Falling on the inside
Of my window pane
It gets so cold inside
So if you leave

(feat. Alia Rose)

Everybody says that you're so beautiful
From the inside to the out
My precious jewel
I hope that I can give you all the love you need
I'd lay down my life for ya baby, yes indeed

High Yellow girl
Golden lady fair, with hair, like lamb's wool
High yellow child
So familiar to me, like the river Nile

I lie awake at night sometimes my eyes get full

On the Venus rocks
Yeah, huh
Just me, the master
And my box
Blues and sounds
Decimals high
I fly above this hood
That wears me
Venus, Harlem baby
So you could shake it
So you could shake it

I know a guy his name is Doug
He plays the bottom
Cuts the rug
I love to hug that jitterbug

He swam around in circles till
He found the inside of my web
And now no secret's left to tell

Hello, this is me
Yeah, I'm your bee charmer, Lady Tee
But you can call me by my southern name, it's Honey
Too hip, got to go
Seems I got your honey call
Going to let the love flow
Nice and slow, let it go
Baby from the get-go
You'll be hitting oh

To and fro indigo
Up all night like no doze
Going to blow the solo
Sweet and low sexy flow
Taste like amaretto

(feat. Rick James)

Lady T up
slick it up
Fire it up
Slick it in up
( I miss you okay,
Alright, I said it)
Lady T up
slick it up
Fire it up
Slick it in up
(Been too long baby
too long)
I got you
Don't worry bout shhhh...
Oh
(I got you baby)
I got you
don't worry bout shhh...
(I got you)
I got you
don't worry bout shhh...
(Baby I got you)
Come on then

(feat. De De O'Neal)

[Tee:]
Aw naw, I don't believe this
There's a new girl in town
Is your name De De O'Neal?

[De De:]
Yeah, that's me.
They call me Cognac
[Tee:]
You know you've got a lot of nerve comin' up in here in my party

[De De:]
Oh, no disrespect Miss Teena
Evidently, you've got something to say to me
So say it, girl
Bring it!

What makes you think:

Turn down the lights
Baby come close
I wanna talk to you
Oh Lover come here
In the heat of the heat
Passion can burn just as brightly
As the fireside
Or hot candle wax
Or the summer sunshine on your back

I had my eyes wide open from the start
I knew you'd be the only lover here in my heart
But something told me do what you feel
It's got to be real

[Knock on door]

[Kid:]
Ricardo they're knocking at the door

[Ricardo:]
Yeah I got it
What's up,
What's the business?
(Man at the door)
Huh, what's the business?
The business is that I'm here to pick up La Dona
Man, We need her now

[Ricardo:]
Uh huh, right
Lemme get her
Rosario, where's Ma T?

[Kid:]
She's getting ready
but I'm already ready

[Ricardo:]

Thug life
Makavelli
Thug life

Twenty-two dubs up in the sky
Spread your angel wings and fly
A comet soars across the sky
Sent to give the whole earth light
Brother, I ain't mad cause you made my body shake
Came and went so fast, you might need a resolution
Reasons for my life and the places that I've seen
Rollin' with my crew keeps me rockin' till tomorrow

Makavelli never lied

I know you gotta go
Just come on over here
Let me get that last good-bye kiss

I'm gonna do all the things for you
That a man wants a girl to do
Come closer to me
I'm gonna whisper in your ear
Tell you all the things you longed to hear
Forever, and ever

Visions of the love we make
Go to my head when I feel your lips of flame
Baby, Baby, OOOOOOO

(feat. Baby aka "The Birdman")

Westside girl is dancing
Off the chain, it's sickening
Lady Tee is..
(Do you feel me)
Mmm
Got your dinner waiting on the table
I've even chilled the wine
Come over, baby
Boy, don't be crazy

You've been waiting for a little something
And your girl's about to break you right off
You're about to know my name
Baby's off the chain

Got you feeling

(feat. Lady Levi, Alia Rose)

[Levi:]
Now here comes Lady Levi 'longside Lady Tee, the great Lady Tee, 'nuff respect every time
So go ahead and put those "five" in the ear
And wave from side to side
Who I am, is defined by the way I act, by the way I care
By the way I share
Who I am shouldn't make people stop and stare
Cuz everybody's got their different stylings

[Teena:]

(feat. Common)

I woke up, this morning, thinking of you
The silence spoke to me, I was speakin to you
Not diggin' the ways of the World
Becoming deeper in you
Recieved gift of life like my little girl,
Now I'm breathin' for you
A unconditional Love, arms around me
giving spiritual hugs,
Through the prophets, you sendin your Love

(feat. MC Lyte, Medusa)

What's my name
Say my name
(Lady to the T)
Ain't nothing but the macking game
What's my name
Say my name
(Lady to the T)
Ain't nothing but the macking game
All my macking women throw the left to the right, now
(Super fly)

Me and my girls
Throwing long hair and afros to the wind
We got a love jones, baby, kicking in
Just for you
True blue

Oooooo, Oooooo yeah ah, Ooooooo, Oooooo yeah ah

Tell me baby, how long has it been
Here you come, and here I go again
I must admit you looking rather fly
You're a sight for sore eyes (sight for sore eyes)
Situation wasn't quite that cool
Seven years ago, we're both the fools
But I'm real enough to let you know
That I'm never gonna let you go

I'm lovin' you,

Yeah, Everybody got one huh
And you're mine

Baby I'm your fiend [3x]
I've been craving
For your love I've been saving
I've been paving the low road to you
Baby I'm your fiend [3x]
You got me open wide

Under my skin
Honey I can't fade you
Might as well just
Resign myself to this

I can't shake it
Got a love hang over
And it haunts me, mm
Cause it's deep in my veins
