Momentum lyrics

CHORUS:
Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight

Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayer

Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene

Somebody said you better let go
'Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don't they even know what that means
They call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain't here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always gotta ask who, what, when and why
But never want to step to the light

So I hear you say you wanna come and get some

Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
I'm 'bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
I'm out of control, need you to fill my soul up
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
My past is taking me to task
And I can't guarantee how much longer I'll last
Without You I'm a hopeless wreck
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deck

Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
Who had only one reason to be hated by whitey
Raised on a farm outside of South Bend
Where they hated on him cause he was African American
But three years later, Mikey was the town pride
Basketball Mikey went and got himself a full ride
Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor
And that's something white America could never ignore

Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
Cause there's talk on the road
Twistin' words that I've never even said
To the ones that I trust on my ???
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it, man I bet he won't
As they're runnin' through the minutes
On their cell phones
So the pictures painted
You got the point

(CHORUS)
I GOT A TICKET, I GOT A TICKET
I GOT A TICKET TO RIDE
(GOTTA A TICKET TO RIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE GET ON BOARD YALL)
I GOT A TICKET, I GOT A TICKET
I GOT A TICKET TO RIDE
(GOTTA TICKET TO RIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE)

Ride, ride, wanna ride on the J Train
On the J Train wanna ride, on the J Train
Ride, ride, wanna ride on the J Train
On the J Train wanna ride on the J Train

(tru-dog) Extreme days!
(toby) Say Extreme days..
(tru-dog) Extreme Days!
(toby) Say we're livin'

We're livin', We're livin', We're livin' in extreme day, days...

Comin' at ya like a whirlwind
A hundred miles an hour's where we'll begin
I spy the eye of apprehension
Show me risk and you'll get my attention

Come on, can ya take it
Bang to the bip, I make you wanna flip

Do you know
Where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

This goes out to my man his name is True Blue
For all the nights that your daddy spent away from you
For all the days that I told you "Maybe next time"
Laid up in my studio consumed with my next rhyme
What kind of lyric can I drop to make you think twice

Do you remember

The southern breakfast treat

Referred to as grits

But it looks like cream of wheat
(chorus)

Don't bring me down

Please, please

Don't bring me down

(repeat chorus)

(Check this)

Yo, I know a secret

Too hard not to tell

(Don't bring me down)

If grits was locked up

Gotee would post bail

(repeat chorus x2)

Are you familiar

Doo, doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo
There in the air

I had a dream last night about the other side
And I must confess that it was quite the ride
I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there
Gave me quite the scare (Uh-huh)
You see people were afloat all around me
Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me

I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momento
*ug-uh*
Then cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can't leave the party til you drop your crucial info
But Am I jaded in assuming that you're simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who's message ain't so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down

(Anyways I told the guy, 'Nice coat! Who shot the cow?!')(laughter)
(Hey how ya doin today?)

I'm doin okay.

(Eh, that's dandy. Hey, what can I get for ya?)

I would like a triple skinny, two-thirds decaf, half chocolate, no whip-

(Hey-uh, hold up here,
lemme break out the pen here,
we got kinda a tall order goin on)

I would like a triple skinny,
two-thirds decaf,

I've played in LA, and D.C., Manhattan, and Sydney
And Kingston, Jamaica where me Mandy was made
It's 98 degress in the straight-up shade
I say I'm stickin' with her for the rest of my given days

Somebody told me that you're takin' a break
A sabbatical from rhymin' on the records that you made
A little birdie said that wasn't the case

And we're back...it's me,
your around-the-way girl
rollin' through the night on the
Quiet Storm.
Tonight is kinda special...
we got Toby Mckheen up in here
so let's get down to it
now, Toby-
what's up?
In studying the landscape of your musical evolution,
it appeared as though you were maturing beyond your,
"so-called" rap years... (toby chuckles in background)

Got momentum baby
Would you like

Think think yah
Pit teh put te pup

Dumb name ya do name ya
Dumb name ya do name ya
Dumb name ya do name your dog
Sing songs

toby: Are you on the mic again?
tru: Yes.
toby: You know not to play in here.
tru: Why?
toby: This is daddy's studio.
tru: OK daddy.
*door closes*
tru: I can't get off the chair.

This is my skizzle.
For Izzle.

Uh-uh
Do what?
What-what? What?

Now when I say, "Where my freaks?" You can say, "Woo-woo."
So where my freaks?
(Woo-woo)
Where my freaks?
(Woo-woo)

When I say, "Where my freaks?" You can say, "Woo-woo."
So where my freaks?
(Woo-woo)
Where my freaks?
(Woo-woo)

Everybody, everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so...
Let's get this party started

Everybody, everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so...
Let's get this party started

Blind-sided by the blitz
Come on baby it's on

CHORUS:
Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight

Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayer

Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene

Psalm 40: to the Chief Musician; a song of David

CHORUS
He has put a new song in my mouth;
praise to our God--(4)

I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined to me, and heard
my cry. He brought me up out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay.
And set my feet on the rock and established my steps. He has put a new song in

Joy to the world
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Now Jonnie never got his wish on
December 25
That's what he said when he left
the orphanage 9 years old,
but Jonnie was an old soul
Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
Showed me a picture that he drew the night before
Was a picture of a man standin' outside a door

Just emphasize His lead
The lover of your soul
Do you like the things that life is showin' you?

Do you know
(Just emphasize His lead)
Where you're going to
(The lover of your soul)
Do you like the things
(Uh 1 2, uh 1 2)
That life is showing you
(Do you like the things that life is showing you?)
[x2]

Do you know
(Just emphasize His lead)
(Uh 1 2, uh 1 2)
The lover of your soul
