(by Johnny Loftus)

Vocalist Esthero was born Jen-Bea Englishman on December 23, 1978, in Ontario, Canada. She moved to Toronto in 1996, and quickly became a fixture at the city's open mikes. There she met Doc (real name: Martin McKinney), an engineer and producer, and the two began working on a demo featuring his programming and her vocals. Sony eventually took interest, and suddenly Esthero went from a fledgling idea to a duo with Esthero's name as their own and a record, Breath from Another, issued in spring 1998 on the label's Work imprint. Breath's mix of beats, lush vocals, and fractured bits of programmed samples caught on perfectly with the trip-hop trend of the time, and Esthero had success with singles like Heaven Sent and the hip-hop-flavored title track. However, it would take nearly seven years for a follow-up to appear. In the interim Esthero parted ways with Doc and struck out on her own, contributing vocals to projects like Black Eyed Peas' "Weekends" (2000). Signing with Reprise, she began work on new material, and returned officially in summer 2004 with the club single O.G. Bitch. Esthero followed the single in November of that year with We R in Need of a Musical Revolution, an EP that found her collaborating with Sean Lennon, Cee-Lo, and producer James Robertson (Skye Sweetnam) on a 21st century version of Breath's assemblage sound. The EP set up a full-length entitled Wikked Lil' Girls, which was slated for release in early 2005.

Excerpt fom the movie 'Deliverance' :
You sure do got a pretty mouth
Why don't you drop my pants
I'll make you squeal like a pig
Couic couic couic !

Esthero :
Feet in the water is not cold enough
You're not woman enough
Inside your daughter is not warm enough
And you're not woman enough, no

Don't compromise what's gold
For the soul you never sold
For the soul you never sold, no, no
So, I follow you down this road
Well you try but you can't let go so
So hold on to years ago

Cold as a lover
Don't you wanna stay
Breath from another
And I'll have my way

Inside your daughter
You can never hold what you can't let go
'Cause he wants it so
She'd sell her own mother
Just to make a dime before closing time
When he tells her so

Don't compromise what's gold
For the soul you never sold
For the soul you never sold, no, no
So, I follow you down this road
Will you drive
Well, you can't let go
So long, two years ago

Shug :
She said she wanted me to hit it
But I said I wasn't with it
Eyes red, thighs spread
Better come get it
While it's hot the goods I got
Nevermind my bad credit
Told me how she was soaking wet
And I'm the one who wet it
Can't lie, I sweat it
But I knew that if I ran
Through that it's up the creek I'm headed
Body was there without no sight nor vision still embedded
But I knew for fucking sure
That in the morning I'd regret it
Had to debt it, I jetted

Meesah :
He got me hooked 'til I was shooking
In the middle of the game
Teary eyes, touch my thighs
Future high, you'll be my game
Could have kept it, but I left it embedded instead of it dissecting me
Free spirit, I feared it, but steered it to clear it, the stress in me
Possessing me, the chemistry
Mother want me in the ministry
Where misery influenced me
Corruption claiming custody
And I knew this time, I had to feel the pain
It was needed so I'll see what caused deception in the game

Esthero :
Don't compromise what's gold
For the soul you never sold
For the soul you never sold, no, no, no
So, I follow you down this road
Will you drive
Well, you can't let go
So, hold on to years ago

I'll try to understand
When you're down on your knees
In front of a man, man, man...
I'll try to understand, no.
Don't compromise what's gold
For the soul you never sold
For the soul you never sold, girl

Heaven Sent

I came and saw you left the light on
There was no one home at all
Couldn't wait to get your clothes on
Shouldn't come around to call on you
The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad, though

You looked her in the eye
And I watched her cry
And my mouth went dry
Everyone is going to have to die
Sometime

My mouth is clean
My hands are dirty
Heaven isn't on my side
Well, if it was, then she'd have hurt me
Didn't think this through

But, I didn't have the time
To perfect my crime
I drank my wine
Everything is going to be just fine

I don't know, I don't know
(You're alone, You're alone)
I don't know anyone like me
I'm not heaven sent
I'm not heaven sent
But I'm broken and bent

My mouth went dry
As I watched her cry
Everyone has to, gets to die
But not on my time
Not on this girl's time
Fucked if it's my time
Fucked if it's on my time
Not on my time
This is all fucked up

Anywayz

Anyway
Maybe you could get me out of this place
Anyway
Maybe you could get me out of this place

Anyway
Maybe you could get me out of this place
Anyway
Maybe you could get me out of this place

All the things I wish I was
I see, I see in you
I do

I bet you know just how to touch me
To see in me
Slide the hand to free me
Oh to see in me

I bet you know just how to touch me
To see in me
Slide the hand to frame me
Oh to see in me

Anyway
Maybe you could get me out of this place
I'd be yours
Anyway
Maybe you can get me out of this place
This cold, cold room
This cold house
This cold house
This cold house
This cold house

That Girl

In the bat of an eye you already think about yourself
And I don't believe all the lies coming out of my mouth
Try to forget all the things that I did to myself
And in time I see it fading

One of these these things just doesn't belong here
And look at that girl
Oh, I just don't belong here
And look at that girl

Aphrodite tonight, she's lifting up her dress and child
Her stomach is so tight and she feels herself fading

One of these these things just doesn't belong here
And look at that girl
I just don't belong here
And look at that girl

And I'll try to catch my own vibe
Leave behind the countryside
Who I'll be, when I'll be
'Cause it's my right to love design

One of these things just doesn't belong here
And look at that girl
Oh, I just don't belong here
And look at that girl

One of these things just doesn't belong here
And look at that girl
Oh, oh, I just don't belong here
And look at that girl
Look at what she's wearin'

Country Livin' (The World I Know)

The world I know
Is a world too slow
Don't move fast enough
Keep your head low

The world I know
Is a world much too slow
If you can't move fast enough, child
Better stay on the low, child

And I want to lay
In the passenger seat of a car
We could drive around all night
We wouldn't have to go too far
Just to look at the stars
This night could be ours

The world I know
Is a world too slow
Don't move fast enough
Keep your head low

The world I know
Is a world much too slow
If you can't move fast enough, child
Better stay on the low, child

And I want a life lover that'll go that far
We don't have to do this right
Do you know who you are
This ride could be ours
Just to look at those stars

And we are never going home
This ride is far too long
To travel alone
And the moon will shine
Brightly on this road
Which way you want to go

The world I know
Is a world too slow
Don't move fast enough
Keep your head low

The world I know
Is a world much too slow
If you can't move fast enough, child
Better stay on the low, child

And I want a life lover that'll go that far
We don't have to do this right
Yes, I know who you are
This ride could be ours
Just look at those stars
Just look at those stars
Baby, we could be stars
Just look at those stars
Baby, we could be stars

Half A World Away

Tu me tocas
Tu me abrases
Y tu me llamas
Pero me siento solamente
Muy solas

Across the sand the warm air blows
From her eyes you'd know she was half a world away
Bites her lip and pulls her clothes
Caressed her thigh and soon
Night would turn to day

She was half a world away
Oh, half a world away

He tells her not to close her eyes
Lifts his hands up to her face
And wipes her hand away
He's the master of the lies
He makes the rules up for this game
He'll tell her what to say

And send her half a world away
Half a world away
My child
Half a world away
Half a world away
Don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes
Half a world away
We're all on the run
From something we fear inside ourselves
Half a world away
We don't really know ourselves at all

Half a world away
Half a world away
Half a world away
Half a world away
We don't
We don't
Don't close your eyes
Half a world away
We're all on the run
From something we fear inside ourselves
Half a world away
We don't really know ourselves at all
Don't close your eyes
Half a world away
We're all on the run from something we fear inside ourselves
Half a world away
We don't really know ourselves at all
Half a world away
Half a world away
Half a world away
Half a world away

Lounge

Sweet caress
And tender mouth
Kissed her breast
And then he found
He found

Forty days and forty nights
Before this day
Said that she would always be the man
Until she found herself
You can't stop her now
Stop her now

Peace within
Or has she seen
And you know she will find out
She's gonna find
She's not too far behind it
Searching for
The searing heat

Broke the glass and stole the fate
That she didn't earn
For the dress she wore that night
To find her there
She found herself

If he could see his way to daylight
If he could see his way to daylight
If he could see his way
If he could see his way to daylight
If he could see his way to daylight
If he could see his way to daylight
If he could see his way

You can't stop her now
You can't stop her now
You can't, you can't stop her now
Speak softer, love
You can't stop her now
You can't stop her now
In my love
You can't stop her now
You can't stop her now
Speak softer, now
Speak
Speak softer, love
Softer, love
In my love
Speak softer, love
Speak softer, love
In my love
Softer now
You can't stop her now
You can't stop her now

Superheroes

Stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
There is a white breast
Waiting for you here
Between the superheroes
And the electric blanket is warm
I could be sweet
I could be young
And fresh
If I weren't so old
Ad used
And wet and wet
Yeah, I am wet
I try not to ruin the moment
Tell me all your secrets and your torments
You're delicious, you're delicious, ha...
Send me on a quest for lullabies and more

What would it take
For you to see
What I have got
I've got more than you know
Open your eyes
I cannot be
What I am not
What I am not

I'm not what I used to be
I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
I don't know myself from anybody else
I'm not what I used to be
I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
You don't know what you have done
My frame is here but the mind is gone, gone away
Gone away, gone away

So, stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
Don't cut the white breast
I've been waiting for you here
I'm not what I used to be
Bigger and better and faster and wetter
And bigger and better and faster and better, better

Indigo Boy

Indigo boy, my little indigo boy

How, how can you take the words that way, they ask you

How can you take him away, will he learn to fall, yeah

Don't let them take it away
you need that shit everyday, everyday, everyday

When I fall away, you'll look good at the edges

Swallow Me

The slowest melodies coated me
Soothing rhythms stoked the fire in my belly
Music is the man that made a woman out of me
The purest voices call to me
Deafening as the cry of ten thousand babies
Music was the lamb that made a lion out of me

Long as I have my voice
I don't need arms to hold
I never need arms to hold me

Swallow me
Swallow me
Swallow me
Swallow me

Recognizing, realizing
Recognize between the lines of what you feel and what you be
You can be so lost
And so found
Deep inside of me
Swallow me

The composition fractured me
Yet I pieced into the girl I long to be
When I fall apart that's when the notes will swallow me

Long as I have my voice, I don't need arms to hold
Long as you have your voice, you don't need arms to hold
You'll never need arms to hold you
You'll never need arms to hold me

Recognizing, realizing
Recognize between the lines of what you feel and what you be
You can be so lost and so found
Oh, deep inside of me
Swallow, swallow me

Recognize, realize, utilizing
Oh, swallow, swallow, swallow me
Utilize, recognize, realize
In you and me and these arms belong to you
It's all inside of you
It's all inside of me
You look, but you don't see
It's deep inside of you, deep inside of me
Swallow me
Swallow

We r in need of a musical revolution

I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio
And MTV, they only play the same thing
No matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want some thing more

We are in need of a musical revolution
We are in need of, of, of

How can you make your way through the world today
When everybody is so angry
And what we hear affects our hearts
There's got to be a better way to communicate
So show your love not hate

We are in need of
A musical revolution
(we're so tired of the same old)
We are in need of
Some spiritual evolution
We're so tired of the same old, same old

We are in need of love
We are in need of love

I'm calling. Calling now. I'm calling out
Calling. Calling. Calling. Calling you. I'm calling out. Calling.
Doesn't anybody wanna do something new
I'm calling, calling, calling...

I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio, radio, radio...

I'm calling all creators in the movement
It's time to offer a solution to the dilution of what we love
And the greats would be so disappointed
'Cause we've sold our souls for what we don't own anymore...

We are in need of
Lets start a musical revolution
We're so tired of the same old
We are in need of
Some lyrical evolution
We're so tired of the same old, same old

I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio
And MTV they only play the same thing
No matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want something
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the shit on the radio
And MTV they only play the same thing
No matter where I go
I see Britney on my video screen
I want something more

Let's start a musical revolution
I want something more
Let's start a musical revolution

Tell me why
A grown man can rape a little girl, but we
Still hear his shit on the radio
A grown-ass man can videotape a little girl, but we
Still see his mug up on our video screens

Yeah, I want something more
I want something

Dragonfly's intro

If the world is nearly civilized
Then I'm the red-haired faerie child
Of whom the prophets prophesies
Would bleed songs until the lyrics died
But I've been busy with my unborn child
I sent him aborted songs to wrap his unformed limbs in

I'm Grace Jones in this sin thing with my titties out prowling this tee-dot club
Eyes on a Reebok thug, looking for soft boy parts to make my mattress cumfy
I crush their bones into melancholy melodies
As gifts for the brokenhearted girls who's stereos pump me

I'm a grown-ass woman with little girl features
A Jewish cornbread macaroni pie like your Mom makes at green eyes
I fall to pieces, Patsy Klein faerie preacher

I'm at the hip hop show head-bopping in the back
Smoking anything that'll burn
During intermission, I'm in the club bathroom
Hold up in a stall praying in earnest for Jeff Buckley's return
Thank heaven for you, thank heaven for you, thank heaven for you
I'm a studio rat, designer geared, Toronto kid, Hollywood brat
Bad gal, war child, bookworm, Sierra Leone activist cat
I'm a wikked little gal
Who don't take no back chat
Unless it's in the dark
I may be in the Annex now
But a mother fucker just moved out of Regent Park

But look into my civil eyes, really
I'll sing you all some civil lies
And take you from your civil lives
And show you that I'm civilized
Nearly, nearly, nearly

Blanket me in you (never is so soon)

In how long will you go from here
Because I want, I want to love you
And how far will you stray from me
When I will not let you go

Indifference
Yeah, yeah
You gave it all to me and
Now it's clear to see that
You have no intention
Of ever coming back to me
Never is so soon
And I will miss you

How does it find me
Only when I'm needy
Only when I'm lonely
How does it find me
And how does it search out
What are the signals
And why do I give off
Such thunderous signals
And why do I give in
Why do I give up
I am a reject of love
And where are my friends now
Where are my friends now
Where is my lover now

Blanket me in you
Cover me in
Cover me
Gold and blue
Cover me in gold and blue
Reason need not follow you
Follow, follow, foll...
Blanket me in you

So I can still smell you on me

In how long will you go from here
Because I want, I want to love you
And if I gather all my sorrow
Would you still love me tomorrow
It won't be so bad
I could make your sickness end
I once had my fortune read
"You wont be so sad," he said
I wonder if it's true

Blanket me in you
Cover me in
Cover me
Gold and blue
Cover me in gold and blue
Reason need not follow you
Follow, follow, foll...
Blanket me in you

So I can still smell you on me
So I can still smell you on me

Blanket me in you
Blanket me in you
Cover me in
Cover me
Gold and blue
Cover me in gold and blue
Reason need not follow you
Follow, follow, foll...
Blanket me in you

Blanket me in you
Cover me in gold and blue
Cover me in gold and blue

Everyday is a holiday (with you)

( featuring Sean Lennon )

I met him on sunday
I loved him by Tuesday afternoon
Woke up on friday
Changed my whole life to make some room
Around a quarter to two
I have remembered all my lines
I'll say, "when I think of you
You're like my favorite song
And that melody, that melody I love"
And it goes

La da da da da da da da da
Da la da da da da da la da
Da da da la da da da da

Hopped on a Metro
And I made my way home
But I can't get him out of my mind
No matter just how hard I try
And if the rumours are true
Then I can look forward to
Some better days and getaways
So nice 'cause when I am with you
You're the crescendo to that melody
That melody I love
Yeah, yeah, yeah

We'll have better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you

You've gotta let me know
I gotta know for sure
Don't leave me out in the cold
I've gotta know for sure
La la la la la la la la...

When I think of you
I see better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways
'Cause everyday is a holiday with you

Thank heaven for you (for book)

Thank heaven for you
And the way you take care of me
You hide my secret so well
Thank heaven for you
No matter storm to come your way
Whatever season in this house day to day
You've weathered them all
And you are so strong

So, thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel

Whenever I get lost
You never let me disappear for long
You always bring me water
You never let me falter

So, thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel

So, thank heaven for you
You're my angel

Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you

So, thank heaven for you

Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank heaven for you
Thank heaven for you
You're my angel
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you

If tha mood

( featuring Shakari Nite )

Esthero :
Remember when we used to
Ah ah ah ah
We can do that again

I know I said it was over
But if you ever want to come over
I think I got what it takes
To make you feel nice
Because you gave yourself to another
But I suppose you haven't forgotten what my love tastes like

And she won't fuck you like I do
And you know that it's true
'Cause I, I have what she hasn't got
And I remember all your spots so

If the mood should hit you
And you wanna, baby, I don't mind
A little taste may relieve the tension
I feel inside
Oh, I'm in the mood

Curl up in my cozy web
This unbelievably delicious bed
Oh, don't say no, that's not how this should go
I've thought about you often
This feeling hasn't gone rotten
Let's take a spin 'round that old block again
You say
She won't fuck you like I did
She's not into that wild shit and
I have what she hasn't got
Really? Well, then

So, if the mood should hit you
And you wanna, baby, I don't mind
A little taste may relieve the tension
I feel inside

Shakari Nite :
You always know what things to do
To keep me wanting you
Also all the things to say
To keep me coming your way

Due to the beauty preferred
It's hard for me to be true to my girl
Can't be trust with you in my world
I'm glued to the kush, you heard
No gas, my tank's empty
I'm stuck in your town
The plan's to gently buckle you down
And fuck you now

Esthero :
Fuck me now?

Shakari Nite :
I want to fuck you now

Esthero :
You want to fuck me now?

Shakari Nite :
Only the truth is with me
Now I'm phenen to screw you swiftly
Now I don't mean to be rude with the lips, b.
I'm guessing the mood just hit me

Esthero :

If the mood should hit you
And you want to, baby, I don't mind
A little taste may relieve the tension
I feel inside

If the mood should hit you
And you want to, baby, I don't mind
A little taste may relieve the tension
I feel inside

If the mood should hit you
And you want to
I'm in the mood
Baby, I don't mind
Got me feeling just fine
A little taste may relieve the tension
I feel inside

If the mood should hit you
And you want to, and you want to
Baby, I don't mind, I don't mind
Like last night, I fucked your boyfriend
I fucked your boyfriend

Bad boy clyde

( Lyrics by Graph Nobel )

She knew this love would break her heart
But rebellion always turned her on
She liked the dangerous type
Pulling stick-up heists
Waiting for him to come around so they could be alone
And she would say

"Bad boy Clyde
You know you drive me wild
Put away your gun
Why don't you play with me
Rolling with your boys
You're always on the run
For just this once
Why can't you stay with me"

She had a gut feeling
Call it intuition
Wishing that it would subside
It's just a day like any other
There's no need to cause a fight
He has to go
His boys are counting on him, you know
Oh my, my

Bad boy Clyde
You know you drive me wild
You're driving me wild
Put away your gun
Why don't you play with me
Play with me
Rolling with your boys
You're always on the run
For just this once
Why can't you stay with me
Stay with me

Bad boy Clyde
You know you drive me wild
Put away your gun
Why don't you play with me
Play with me. Play with me
Rolling with your boys
You're always on the run
For just this once
Why can't you stay with me

Over and over and...
Thinking about
Thinking about the life that we have
You're always on the run, always on the run
You were always running around
Thinking about what you take for granted
And if you cared about yourself
You'd let go, baby

Over and over and over and over and over, Yeah
The cycle never ends
I love me, I love me
Some bad, bad boys

No more guns
Bad boy Clyde
You know you drive me wild
No more guns
Put away your gun
Why don't you play with me
Rolling with your boys
You're always on the run
For just this once
Why can't you stay with me
Stay with me

Bad boy Clyde
You know, bad boy
You drive me wild
Put away your gun
Why don't you play with me
Play with me
Play with me
Rolling with your boys
You're always on the run
For just this once
Why can't you stay with me

Beautiful lie

Spoken message

I don't want to write another love song
I don't want to open up my eyes
I don't want to see what you have done to me
I don't want to know what's under your disguise
And I don't need to see what's on the inside
Let me enjoy this
'Cause it was all just a beautiful lie

No, lie, oh, oh, lie, oh.

I just want to keep on believing
Every little thing you ever said to me
All was true
And I want to be sure you adore me too
I don't want to know when it ended for you
Yeah, I
I want to be able to sleep at night
I want to hold my head up high
I want to feel like you were always mine
But it was all just a beautiful lie
Beautiful lie
It was all just a wonderful, terrible, wonderful

Why'd you give me, love
All of your love, babe
Just to take it all away
Baby, when I needed you
I, I didn't know, you
You'd let me go
And now I feel like I can't breathe
I need you to lie to me, yeah

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I want to be able to sleep at night
I want to hold my head up high
I want to feel like you were always mine
But it was all just a beautiful
Terrible, wonderful, horrible, beautiful lie
And it's so easy to believe

I don't want to write
I don't want to write another love song
I don't want to open up my eyes
I don't want to see what you have done to me, to me, to me
I don't want to write another love song
I don't want to open up my eyes
I don't want to see what you have done to me
I don't want to know what's under your disguise
I don't want to write another love song
I don't want to open up my eyes
I don't need to see
I don't need to see what's on the inside
I don't want to write another love song
I don't want to open up my eyes
Oh, you're beautiful
My eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes
My eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes

Junglebook

It's like I told you
I'm getting away from this town
I'll be traveling alone
Yeah, adventure is calling my name

And if you want to
You can follow me
I'm gonna go to the jungle
And build me a home

We could live right
In the jungle, baby
Stay up all night
All night
Kiss by moonlight
And you could kiss me
It would be tight

We'll have a family
And I will protect you from harm
We could get wilder than all the animals
And I will try to keep it simple if that's what you want

I know you're scared, baby
I know you're proud
I know your girl
She was fooling around
She had your head under water
Your heart under fire
And I've decided
She didn't know how to love you

We could live right
We could live right
Stay up all night
Stay up all night
Kiss by moonlight
You can kiss me
It would be tight
It would be so right

We could get by
We could get by
Start a new life
Start a, start a whole new life
Dance with fireflies
In the jungle, baby
We could get by
In the jungle, baby

Can't hide from the man in the moon
He's watching
Make love like animals
Baby
I'm feeling cannibal
And I'll eat you alive

Jungle, in the jungle
Oh, in the jungle
Jungle, in the jungle
Oh, in the jungle
Jungle, in the jungle
Oh, in the jungle
Jungle, in the jungle
Oh, in the jungle

We could live right
We could live right
Stay up all night
Stay up all night
Kiss by moonlight
You can kiss me
It would be tight
It would be so

We could get by
We could get by
Start a new life
Start a, start a whole new life
Dance with fireflies
We could get by
We could get by

We could live right
My precious little boy
Stay up all night
Just rest your weary head
Kiss by moonlight
It's gonna be all right
It would be tight
We could get by
Hush now, my precious little boy
Start a new life
Just rest your weary head
Dance with fireflies
It's gonna be all right
We could get by

My Honeybrown

That's right, the pirate is smarter
What's up, little sister Dukes Up
It's your Honeybrown calling

Esthero :
So, why would you stay if it's killing us both just to be here
There's no more room to grow and you won't find yourself 'til you leave me
It's a beautiful world outside these walls
And I love you too much to hold you down with my light shine
And it's blinding you so

So, don't complicate it
I don't have it in me to hate you
I was meant to be your freedom, freedom
I just want to be your faerie
And I try to teach you
But I can only stay for one more day

Then I am gone
Get away
Leave me be
'Cause I don't want to see your face around here
Gone
Gone, gone, gone
Get away
Leave me be
'Cause I don't want to see your face around here

There ain't nothing here for you if you stay
And it's so hard to hear myself say, "Go away,"
Instead of, "Baby, please stay just one more day."
I barely have the strength to leave you
But you don't want to be with me so go on
Just get gone

Cee-lo :
Girl, how could you say what you not mean
Oh we used to have such a hot thing
And I just cant go anywhere and be not seen
But for the love of you theres places i have stopped being
And don't make me start about all the sweets and all the shopping
I mean God I even went out and got a ring
And it's no cliché
Love is blind it's in you literally stop seeing
But when you truly love someone, you wouldn't be shamed

Cee-lo :
And if I did not see you there, girl, I wouldn't have came

Esthero :
But I got to let you go

Cee-lo :
You must have some strong shoulders
'Cause thats where you be putting the blame

Cee-lo :
Whoever said fucked up your head
Talking bout if you had love then you wouldn't have pain.

Esthero :
Gone. Go on. Go on
Get away. Get away from me
Leave me be, baby
'Cause I don't want to see your face around here

Why would you stay if it's killing us both just to be here
There is no more room to grow and you won't find yourself 'til you leave me
It's a beautiful world outside these walls
And I love you too much to hold you down with my light shine and it's blinding you

Gone
Get away
Leave me be
'Cause I don't want to see your face around here
No, no
Gone
Gone, gone, gone
Get away, get away
Leave me be
Leave me be
'Cause I don't want to see your face around here
Gone

My torture

Set myself on fire
Anything to turn your head
I won't deny this
I'm burning from the things you said
Now you got me running around
And all that I've found is
I can't afford him
All I got is spare change
'Cause he was my fortune
My torture

Had myself a lover
I liked him 'cause of all of the books that he read and
He was like no other boy that I had ever met before
And I loved all the things that he said
I wanted to heal him
I did not plan on staying as long
I didn't think I would need him
So how did he become my torture, torture

My torture, torture
Oh yeah
My, my, my

My torture
It's always the
Always the sweetest thing
My torture
Where do I go
What do I do with this heart

My torture
My, my torture
My

I want you to comfort me
I want you to stop disturbing my sleep
I really thought you were my king
I thought you were my king
I want it to stop hurting so bad
My king
So, my king, so bad
My king
My king, so bad
So, my king, so, so bad, my king
So bad, my king
My king
So bad, my king
My king
So bad, my king
So bad, my king
My king

Melancholy melody

Leave me alone
I just want to lay here
In my room
And let myself cry

I apologize
If I've disappointed you
I got lost in my darkness
And the light hurts my eyes

I know you're counting on me
To feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own
For a little while
'Cause I can't stop singing
These melancholy melodies
So until then, I'll hide

I feel tired all the time
Yeah, this weight is exhausting
I cannot please everyone
Least of all me, me, me
I have no more to give you
It's already been stolen
Tell me, what's left for me
A melancholy melody

I know you're counting on me
To feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own
For a little while
'Cause I can't stop singing
These melancholy melodies
So until then, I'll hide
I'll hide

Well, you think I'm scared to write
That I've got nothing left inside
And I'm losing all my fire
But it still burns bright
Just not on your command

You think I'm scared to write
That I've got nothing left inside
And I'm losing all my fire
That I'm losing all my fire
Am I'm losing all my fire
Still burns bright
Brighter, yeah
Leave me alone
Just want to lay here alone
In my room
Let myself cry

I know you're counting on me
To feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own
For a little while
So stop calling my phone
Please don't come around my home
I just wanna be alone

I know you're counting on me
To feed all of our families
But I just can't stop singing
These melancholy melodies
Yeah, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Alone

Fastlane

( featuring Jemeni and Jelleestone )

Jemeni :
You can tie my hands behind my back
And lick your initials in my neck
Foreplay does nothing for me
But commitment makes me wet

I already know you're having an affair with words
But, boo, I'm married to it
My vocabulary leaves most men wary
I need to know
Can you get into it

Esthero :
This is so torturous
I know that I shouldn't
But I cannot, but I cannot resist
Just what is that you are weaving
That's keeping my body from leaving
Your presence is lingering longer than I thought it would
And I feel that I should succumb to your magic
'Cause I know you're just
As strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shining star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far
For love in the fastlane as my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind

Battling, battling
These feelings are traveling
Quicker than a flick of lightning
You were tightening
'Round my heart and won't slow down
Burning hotter than the world underground
I'm feeling like cupid's fool
What to do
And the arrow's headed straight for you, you
I don't want to love another
Got to keep this undercover
Brother, I'm about to explode
I am

Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shining star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fastlane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind

Jelleestone :
Lord knows how I love it, you know
I love it when I get stuck, you know
Feel it with me
She loves to diggy, diggy, yah-yah
Mission, I'm the driver
Crazy as the shower, shower
Pissing on the ground-uh
Sun is up, it shi-ine
Raining, it devour
Remedy to make it stop
Me make it or she bomb blow
Sister got the power, power
Man, he got the time, time
Kick it up in California
Dig it up, I know ya'
If'n you attract her
But you forget the last numb
Love it when you get that call
Can't buy it from the wrong one

Jemeni :
Would you let me lick you with alliteration
And tie you up with similies
Give you pain and pleasure with soliloquies until you beg me for release
I think we can have the ebonic plague solution
Lace me with your lexiconic seed and in nine months we can start to raise the revolution

Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shining star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fastlane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind

Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shining star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fastlane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind

Strong as an earthquake
Earthquake, earthquake
Strong as an earthquake
I'd so far for love in the fastlane
Bright as a shining star

Dragonfly's Outro

Find me
Find me in an open sky
And then wish me
Wish me far from you and free

Swallow whole the love I give you
Then give it back to me
Tell me, what am I supposed to do
With the mess you've made out of me
Dragonfly, dragonfly

Give me
Give me back my wings so I can fly
And then catch me
Catch each breath right from me
When you smile

Swallow whole the love I give you
Then, give it back to me
Tell me, what am I supposed to do
With the mess you've made out of me
Dragonfly, dragonfly

Hi, baby. It's 6:30.
I just wondered if you had gotten to New York
I love you and miss you
I'm, huh, having a wonderful Friday night
Drinking wine, having cheese and crackers
And listening to Justin Timberlake
Anyway, I love you and I'll talk to you later. Bye

Amber, tiger's eye
Inset in your honey skin
Dandelions and fireflies
Akin to your devil's grin

Amber, tiger's eye
Inset in your honey skin
Dandelions and fireflies
Akin to your devil's grin

Remind me, remind me
Of who I forgot to be
Replace me, replace me
Back where I ought to be
Back where I need to be
Will your spirit be diminished
In the presence of others
I wonder
Hold fast now
Hold fast now
Hold fast now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Amber, tiger's eye
Inset in your honey skin
Dandelions and fireflies
Akin to your devil's grin
Hmmm...
La la la la la la la...
But don't fly away

*** Thanx a lot to Al'n & Melody Coated for this one ***

( We R In Need Of A Musical Revolution EP )

Can't move on
But I can't go home
And I'm not so strong
But I'll make my way
To the place I know
Inside my heart
Where I used to go
To get brave and
I don't want to be lost anymore

Can't move on
But I can't go home
And I'm not so strong
But I'll make my way
To the place I've known
Inside my heart
Where I used to go
To get brave and
I don't want be lost

Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home
Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home
Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home
Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home
Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home
Got to find my, got to find my, got to find my way back home

I don't know where I go
But I know I drive alone
I terribly miss you
More than you'll ever know
You've got to come back somehow
You've got to come back somehow
You've got to come back somehow

Can't move on
But I can't go home
And I'm not so strong
But I'll make my way
To the place I know
Inside my heart
Where I used to go
To get brave and

I love you

( O.G. Bitch EP )

I love you
I love you, now I know
You said, "goodbye,"
But I can't let you go
And I need you
I need you in my life
And if you go, I'll be so blue
Because I know that you love me too
Could you really sleep at night if I wasn't by your side
How would your body keep warm
Until the return of daylight

I love you
I love you
And I've never been more sure
And there ain't nothing you can do to change my mind
I am ready to be yours
Yeah, yeah, there might have been a face before
But it was never as beautiful as yours
I want to see it every morning when I rise and every night

Oh, I love you
I need you
Need you in my life
And if you go I'll be so blue
Because I know you love me too
I love you. I love you. I love you, now I know
You, you said, "goodbye," but I cannot, I will not let you go
Oh, and I, I need you. I need you
I need you in my life and if you go I'll be so blue
Because I know, because I know that you love
You love me
You love me too
You love me
But I can't help loving you

Don't love me quietly
Do it with intensity
Or you'll miss the point
Do it with every sinew strained
Or there's no love to be gained

'Cause we are nearly civilized
And i could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

I don't know how you found me
But you wrapped yourself around me
I thought it was warm
And soon enough I found me too immersed in mediocrity

'Cause we are nearly civilized
And i could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

'Cause we are nearly civilized
And i could almost love you now
We will throw this building up just so we can tear it down again
'Cause we are nearly civilized and i could love you, love you now
We will throw this building up just so we can tear it down again

*** Thanx a lot to him for this one ***

I am the original bitch
I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore

I am the original witch
I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore

I suppose you think that you know me now
Yeah, I bet you've got it all figured out
And you try and pick apart the shit that I do
All the while the quest for fame has got you
You're so vein
You don't even notice that corruption surrounds you
You don't even notice somebody set their arms around you

You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
You fake ass bitch

You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
Fake ass bitch

I am the original bitch
I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
I know, I know you love me

Yeah, yeah, I am the original witch
I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore

How kind of you to offer what you think a woman should do or say
Maybe if you weren't so self-righteous,
You would not have such a hard time getting laid

Whatever you have to say out loud
To convince yourself that you're right
Oh oh oh oh it's just too bad
You carry no conviction in your so-called revelations
Your pedantic conversations shed no light

Oh you're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
You fake ass bitch

You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
Fake ass bitch

I am the original bitch
I am the original whore
Yeah, yeah, I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
You know you love me

I am the original witch
I am
I am the original whore
Yeah, yeah, I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore

Yeah, fake ass bitch
Now everybody knows you're a fake ass bitch
And I'm gonna get them.

( Go Soundtrack / with Danny Saber )

I can make you want me
I can make you think you need me too
I can reassure you that all your lies you tell yourself are true

And if you won't let me go
I'm just harder to hold
No, I'll never let you gain control

I'm not myself lately
I'm not even sure I know me
But I'm worth more than my name
And all the lies I tell myself are true

You can try, but it's never enough
You hide behind me when push comes to shove
I fall
And it's my turn to lie to myself now

And if you won't let me go
I'm just harder to hold
No, I'll never let you gain control when you say that you want me

And if you won't let me go
I'm just harder to hold
No, I'll never let you gain control

And if I give you what you want
And everything you need, honey
Could you deliver that to me
Could you give yourself completely to a love like this
And all it can bring
A picket fence, a diamond ring
Well I really did not think so

Just say goodbye
Goodbye
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
I'll listen to this lull-a-by
Don't say you'll try
After tonight
All that I am is this lull-a-by

If I am all that you desire
Then why are you never, ever satisfied
I could give the world and you'd still cry
Your refrain again and again
And I might stay if you would bend
But I really did not think so

Just say goodbye
Don't ask me why
I'll listen to this lull-a-by
Don't say you'll try
Don't say you'll try
After tonight
Darling, I am
All that I am is this lull-a-by
This lull-a-by
This lull-a-by
This lull-a-by

Just say goodbye
Don't ask me why
I'll listen to this lull-a-by
Don't say you'll try
After tonight
All that I am
This lull-a-by

Windmills of your mind

( Supposed to be on the Thomas Crown Affair OST, but rejected ! )

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said
Lovers walk along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces but to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over, you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of his hair

Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

(Japan Bonus Track)

Another sock in the belly day
Why don't you go away
Inside your storm
It kind of keeps me warm at night
Well, I know it to be true
Swirling through inside you
Your light, my light, your light

After you left, I couldn't sleep
I have nowhere to be
And if you go, then I go too
And if you leave, then I will find you
I will find you
I was kicked in the belly today
And it wasn't fair play
I would scream
But I've too much to say
Life isn't fair play

I wish you away
Just go away
I wish you away
Don't go away
I wish you away
Don't go away
You were never here anyway

( Ian Pooley with vocals by esthero )

Ohhh, oh oh oh.....
I think i need a change of scenery
Warm water sunshine on my foot
Just like my daydream
And on the nightly
Everything is hot and sticky
But it's ok

'Cause no one plans to sleep here anyway
Ohhhhh.... be-because
We all want a better life
I think i found it in this place
Everything is so sublime
You should come with me
We all want a better life
I think i found you just in time
And I'm feeling so divine
We all want a better life

I think I need a change of scenery, yeah
I think I need you to be here with me

Oh.....
We all want a better life
I think i found it in this place
Everything is so sublime
You should come with me
We all want a better life
I think i found you just in time
And i'm feeling so divine
We all want a better life
Come..... oh...... come.... better life....
Better life.... (music) ...
Better life....better life... better life...
Everything is hot and sticky
But it's ok
'Cause no one plans to sleep here anyway
Ohhhh.... be-because
We all want a better life
I think i found it in this place
Everything is so sublime
You should come with me
We all want a better life
I think i found you just in time
And i'm feeling so divine
We all want a better life
Come..... oh.. come.....

Love me or hate me
Support me or snake me
Either way i show love
Let it make me or break me
I'm the queen of self-esteem
Don't sweat the cream
Just set the scene
Get screens like how you need
Straight up where the message be
Ain't no puppet on a string
Like them hoes suckin on your thing
Overworked and underpaid for days
Behave
I'm not gonna be your slave

Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave

Michee mee:
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system
( Esthero : don't wanna be your- )

Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave

Michee mee:
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system
( Esthero : don't wanna be your- )

Hold on tight, don't let go
Don't want much, just want more
Speaking from my people
Screaming hardcore
Living in the ghetto
Sleeping on the floor
What, you thought I wasn't gonna ride
Do my thing, get a piece of the pie
If your be holding your breath or breaking out of the sky
You best live your life 'cause you're just waiting to die
People still taking life for a joke
Can't see the fire, but you blow a lot of smoke
If you didn't get it, you got what you deserve
Just like that, bless my word
Everyday I wake up scheming on the come-up
No daydreaming, got to stay one-up
How you gon' sit back and wait on the wealth
Gotta go get it, motivate yourself
If not, you're only perpetrating yourself
And at the end of the day, you'd only hate yourself
If you know me, you know my motto
Taking charge
I got what it takes to make it, make it large

Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system (don't wanna be your-)
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system (don't wanna be your-)

Everybody got a problem
But of course, the world gotta problem
And it's yours
That's why i wrote this rhyme
You can quote this line
Coz i focus line
Living in some hopeless times, or so it seems
Never let go of your dreams
N'a mean?
N'a mean? (just do whatcha got to do)

Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave

Michee mee:
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system (esthero: don't wanna be your-)

Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don't wanna be your slave

Michee mee:
And i'm not gon' cry, big dawg
And i'm not gon' blame the system (esthero: don't wanna be your-)
(4x...to fade out)

I traveled far to find you
Who knew you'd be so far away
I will stay now, love

This weary heart
The only gift I bring you
This love I give to you
It won't astray

I will give you the most delicious kisses on your face
You see, I need you to be addicted to me
I am calm now in the corners of his mouth
I am still now, I will not live without
I am pure now, safe inside my final home

I will give you the most delicious kisses on your face
You see, I need you to be addicted to me
I am calm now in the corners of his mouth
I am still now, I will not live without
I am pure now, safe inside my final home

My home, my home
My home inside you
Safe inside my final home
My home inside you

(Sugar Ray feat. Esthero / In The Pursuit Of Leisure LP)

Surrounded by broken hearts
Promises are torn apart
Everybody looking for someone in the dark

Got lost on my own
Tongue tied on the phone
Everywhere I look there's a face in a place called home

Feeling all alone in the middle of the night
Feeling all alone when nothing works out right

Lying all alone in the middle of the night
Lying in a dream now everything's alright

Don't you know I'm in heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found heaven
Heaven

Surrender to a broken heart
Beat down from the start
If you think it's over baby, let me know

But it's easier than it seems
Find yourself in a dream
(now I found you)
If you wanna go there, baby, just say so
(found you, found you)

Feeling all alone in the middle of the night
Feeling all alone when nothing works out right

Lying all alone in the middle of the night
Lying in a dream now everything's alright

Don't you know I'm in heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found heaven
Heaven

Heaven
Now I'm falling
Heaven
Now I'm falling
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
(now I found you) Feet never touch the ground now I found
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Heaven touch you
Heaven on you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground, the ground, the ground...

Hey Esthero....yeah
Hey Nell Star

I want to know
Where you go
I want to know
Where you go at night
When you leave my bed
And when I saw you wandering is when I knew
You had no time for me left in your life
So I'm gone out on my baby
Blown away, Blown away
So far

But I feel you
Don't want to let you go
I feel you
Hey man I love you so
I feel you
Alone here in the night
I feel you
So if you want in time you could make it right

Oh, you are such a little child
Oh, you are such a little child
And you won't give anything away
No way, no way, I won't and
When I saw you wondering
When I saw you creeping
Is when I knew you had no time for me
In your life so boo-hoo now I'm gone

But I feel you
Don't want to let you go
I feel you
Hey man I love you so
I feel you
Alone here in the night
I feel you

It's not too late
To catch when you can
I will be waiting for you
And no, it's not too late
It's not too late
Ohh, baby when I wait
I wish he could have stayed
But it's not too late

Cos' I feel you
Don't want to let you go
I feel you
Hey man I love you so
I feel you
Alone here in the night
I feel you

And if you, if you want I could give you a chance
And you could make it right, make it right
If you want I could give you some time
And you could make it right, make it right
And if you, if you want I could give you a chance
And you could make it right, make it right
If you want I could give you some time
And you could make it right, make it right

Don't want to let you go
I'll make it
Hey man I love you so
I'll make it
Alone here in the night
I'll make it

John Forte:
I often pondered and I asked her how well she knew me
I turned to ask her that and she looked right through me
The nerve you have to ask me that is all she softly breathed
I kissed her hands and held them tight as we fell back to sleep

How how could I
In all reality imagine a life without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

Esthero:
I read my horoscope just for fun
And apparently I'm having doubts about us
I laughed it off and put the water on for the tea
And I knew when you arose that this was where I ought to be

How how could I
In all reality imagine a world without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

John Forte:
I watched the greyest skies suddendly turn blue
Like you and me I've wondered if I deserved you
My thoughts maybe easily seen by me
How could someone so lovely love unconditonaly

How how could I
In all reality imagine life without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

Esthero:
Lets put the world aside there's nothing left to say
Together we grow stronger even more than yesterday
I'll take you next to me above anything and all
All will make sense if we listen to our hearts

How how could I
In all reality imagine a world without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

John Forte & Esthero:
Let's pretend that we're not afraid to strengthen what we got
Will you consider the possibilties of spending the rest your life with me
I do I do I do

How how could I
In all reality imagine life without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

How how could I
In all reality imagine life without you
How how could I
Ever put into simple words what you amount to

I do I do I do...

Keep the beat
Yeah, Graph, Esthero, Jully, and me, Keshi
We gotta keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep the beat raised
Have you ever been lost then found
You never thought you'd find yourself a better day
And there's a sun, carries your heart around
All it puts you through will push and pursue the best out of you
I knew that I was right 'cause my feelings were so strong, strong
I knew I couldn't wait 'cause there's a place where I belong, belong
There was a chance to take, I had to say it loud
It's time to make a change, there are people who deserve a place to love
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Keep on giving, giving
Keep on giving, giving
Keep on giving, giving
Keep on
When I think about my life
I pray that maybe I will get the chance to lend my hand
So boys and girls could be given equal opportunities 'cause we're all the same, I say
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
Don't turn your back, no
Don't lose your faith if you can help it 'cause we all need love
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
Don't turn your back, don't turn your back
Don't lose your faith if you can help it 'cause we all need love
We all breathe it, love
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Tell me we could keep it up
Tell me we could keep it up
Tell me we could keep it up
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
Love like we love
Laugh like we laugh
Live like we live, my people
Give like we give
People, it's time to give
Graph Nobel, Keshia Chante, Esthero, Jully Black
One time, one time, one time

(Zion I & The Grouch feat. Esthero / Heroes In The City Of Dope LP)

Esthero:
I am the virgin, I'm the whore
So you won't push a brother, don't leave
I am the goddess, I'm the sky
I give you room to make you fly
So why, why
Don't you recognize me anymore

Zion:
An open letter to you sister
Mother, wife, and girlfriend
Hope to make it better before we reach the world's end
Spin through centuries of hypocrisy when
Patriarchy subjugated your biology, ya
Divine feminine was always kept hidden
You know I love my mama, called you freak 'cause I was tripping
Take you for granted, man, I've often been the culprit
But I'm crypted when I stand like a preacher in this pulpit
Sex symbols like all imitation
A trophy, not a wife but you're the queen of creation
More than a beauty but it's harder to see
We told to never cry, hoes down, up G's, but
You gave birth to me, sacred like the Earth to me
Blessed, never cursing me, your love is what these verses be
Adam and Eve in the Garden, believe
Better learn to work together or there'll be no seeds
I'm running home to you, nothing else I'd rather do
Apologize for all the madness that I put you through
It's true, I'm just a flawed human being
Trying to get it right; be my God 'cause I'm needing you.

Esthero:
I am the virgin, I'm the whore
So you won't push a brother, don't leave
I am the goddess, I'm the sky
I give you room to make you fly
So why, why
Don't you recognize me anymore

Grouch:
To be the bearer of life
What's the like? Still spit on
Mama raised me right
That's the track I'm 'bout to get on
Had to pay y'all back
Women, you're the ones who are real strong
And I don't feel good how we treat you on a hill wrong
Feel lungs breathe (breathe)
She's the equal I need
Mother Earth made her, as soft as the breeze
And if I take advantage, what's that make me?
Someone I couldn't stand if seen on TV
So I
Flip the channel, damsels in distress now
Get a handle on myself and my sex-style
I turn reptile
All the men around me gave me the wrong pep-talk
Man, I shoulda crept off
My sister wept, my wife fell, my grandma died
And my daughter's got three months to arrive
That's some vibe
And player, if I'm the king of my tribe
Who's my goddess, queen? On the side I see why (why)
She's the sky to my dirt road
Not the target of my aggression, stresses, and sperm loads
If burnt toast and eggs is all you need her for
I hope she feeds your fall (fall)

Esthero:
I am the virgin, I'm the whore
So you won't push a brother, don't leave
I am the goddess, I'm the sky
I give you room to make you fly
So why, why
Don't you recognize me anymore

( Last Emperor feat Poetic and Esthero )

1993, shortly before Thanksgivin'
I got the call she say Jamal, Derek is no longer livin
Softly she spoke
Is this a joke?
Man, you gotta be kiddin
As my question was raised this explanation was givin
A meaningless death
Made me question the meaning of life
Does my body remain at rest like when I'm sleeping at night?
Will I burn in eternal hell?
Or will I find paradise?
Be rejected or ressurected like the body of Christ
Is it like purgatory the story described by the Catholics?
Or nirvana that Buddha saw in both theory and practice
Like I studied in my college phillosophy classes
Or do my molecules and atoms travel back to the gases
I mean what I'd like to know
Is wheres my spirit go?
After the curtains close
On my final show
Is there a pain it brings?
Enjoy my favorite thing
Visit ancient kings
Hear the angel sing
Who'll answers these said the great mcs
My man Gremel's battling a debilitating disease
He said "You see a brother like me is full in the fight"
And everytime I question death my only answer in life
Nigga fight

One life
Only god can set me free
Am I living in this moment?
Am I living righteously?
It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on
I'm tryin so hard to be strong

Paralyzed on the bathroom floor by pain
Last month I endured
But now I can't ignore
Feels like rail road spikes being stuck in my liver
And my dyin eyes cryin', body startin to shiver
Crawl upstairs from the basement callin my sister
*sniff* Dawn, help me, I ain't feelin to healthy
Stomach walls burnin
Head spinnin and turnin
Waitin for the EMS 3:10 in the mournin
Rush me to emergency screamin like a newborn
The pain's to strong maybe my souls tryin to move on
He hooked me to the i.v.
Put me through some x-rays
Gave me demorall to kill the pain that was the next phase
Early the next day in a hospital room
Moms and Pops in the room
3 or 4 docs in the room
My test results suggest Your colon and your liver is so cancerous
You got 3 months left
Me and death is playin chess
Ever since then
My strength is the most high,my fam and close friends
The Last Emp been sent free blessed me with a verse
Stayin healthy comes first, look at me, things can be worse

One life
Only god can set me free
Am I living in this moment?
Am I living righteously?
It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on
I'm tryin so hard to be strong

One life
Only god can set me free
Am I living in this moment?
Am I living righteously?
It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on
I'm tryin so hard to be strong

They say that everybody got a price, through material lust, for the things nice
Better think twice
Not everything can be bought or sold
Certain things in this life money don't control
Life itself in this world is priceless
Word to my nephew, my niece
The way I hold my device is with innate skill
Don't be surprised kid
There's no denying, it's the way it should be done: crisp
Yo, I could never be paid enough for this so, on the paper, well
What you might have be the bomb shit to them and you'd be mislead by the fasaud of video life
And what a wack rapper said, but understanding is priceless
'Cause it enables one to see both sides of the coin kid
'Cause even if you got to lot, the best things in life you might not got
Like knowledge
Knowledge of self, knowledge of God, knowledge of health
Since the direction's stepping through, collect that pot of wealth
And that's for real
The truth I can't conceal
So, I teamed up with Red just to let you know the deal
Hey, yo, for real, far gone
Way too vain
Then might run from reality to escape the pain
The salary: the aim
No moral on the brain 'cause everything has a price when you have no shame
Everyone wants a life
The hard thing's to gain
Thinking what they can't have, money will obtain, but it ain't so simple a plan
Know what I'm saying? It just ain't so simple a plan
They say that everybody got a price, through material lust, for the things nice
Better think twice
Not everything can be bought or sold
Certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control
Hey, yo, survival of the fittest
To survive you need dough, but once you got dough, got to maintain a steady flow and let it grow
You know, add another zero
Yo, from down in the ghetto through more than a door
Now accustomed to things that you wasn't before
Money showed you power you never felt when poor
You say money make power, dinero with corruption
'Til corrupted to the point parallel of destruction
Disgusted
Mind full of a lusting
Got mixed priorities
Family love, first thing
Praises are due for life, from one morning because tomorrow's a site, not a guaranteed thing
So, live to the fullest
Make your moves to win
Cherish your brethren
Nourish and love your children
Throw them positive, negative'll kill them
Drafted to war for arrogant, wicked men
But it's all unity, one world community
To divide is the recipe
Sour our tragedy
So, adequately you get yours, I get mine
Take nothing for granted and walk a righteous line
They say that everybody got a price, through material lust, for the things nice
Better think twice
Not everything can be bought or sold
Certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control
Hey, yo, the love from a woman that ain't your mother: priceless
The sun, moon, or Earth and what they yield is priceless
The morals that you pass down to kids is priceless
That's why I always take time to write this
To have hope in this world is priceless. Common sense with education is priceless
Having insight with understanding is priceless
A combination of the two harmonising
If the practice of what you preach is priceless, learning from your own mistakes is also priceless
Yo, for real, check your own actions and be you proud and almost they share the same likeness
In turn earns respect which is priceless
And when you speak the truth, your word is priceless
Don't forget self-control over temptation's priceless
Like all facets of hip hop we symbolise this
They say that everybody got a price, through material lust, for the things nice
Better think twice
Not everything can be bought or sold
Certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control
Yo, certain things in this life money don't control
Certain things in this life money don't control.

Jarvis Church :

Summer Breeze

(Onda feat. Esthero / Taken To The Next Phase (Reconstructions) LP)

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer, summer, summer

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
No, no, no, no, no, no (summer, summer, summer)
July is dressed up and playing her tune
Oh yeah (summer, summer, summer breeze)
Summer breeze (summer breeze)
All in my mind (summer)
No, no, no, no, no

When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a friday night
A little light shining through the windows (summer breeze)
Lets me know every, everything's alright

Summer, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze (summer, summer, summer)
Blowing through the window (blowing through the window)
Summer, summer, summer breeze (summer, summer breeze)
Summer, summer, summer breeze, yeah

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom (bloom)
July is dressed up and playing her tune (playing her tune)
Summer, summer, summer breeze, yeah (summer)
Summer, summer, summer
Each day is soft and this love's just for you
??? and I'm feeling I get when you walk through the room
Summer, summer, summer breeze, yeah (summer breeze)
Hold it

When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking on a plate for two
Feel the arms reaching out to hold me (summer breeze)
In the evening when the day is through

Summer, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Oh summer, summer breeze

Tao of now

( Saul Williams featuring Esthero )

Esthero :
Oh ahhhh oooh

Saul williams :
Children of this night
Only same will star the sky
Only believers in death will die
And fathers must feather the wings of women
For the unfeathered masses dangle ridiculous
Carrying crosses to phalayx filled tombs
The future sails silence through blood rivered wombs
That ripple with riddles of cows and spoons and births
Moons and earths
Sun-centered at noon

Esthero :
Now....

Saul williams :
And here i stand
Court jestering infinity
Fetal fisted for revolution
But open hands birth humility
Now what you the density of an egoless planet?
Must my spine be aligned to sprout wings?
I'm slouched into sling steps and kangoled with gang reps
But my orbit rainbows saturn rings
Mystical eliptical
Presto polaris
Karmic flamed future when saturns and aries
And not i'm a fish called father
With gills type dizzy
Blowing liquid lullabies through the spine of time
I'm certain of saturns rivers and all esle is fact
So baptise me in the stars
And wrap me in nighttime
Moon blue
Pupil my sight with orange balls of light
And echo my plight
Through the corridors of metaphor
What else are we living for if not to create
Fiction and rhyme?
My purpose is to make my soul
Rhyme with my mind
Mind over matter
Minds create matter
minds create fiction
As a matter of fact
As if matter were fact
Matter is fact
So spirit much be fiction
Science fiction
Art fiction meta fiction

Esthero :
Now

Saul williams :
The tao of now
Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now

Esthero :
You are the divine reflection of this earth
She does not belong to you
No there is no need for your correction
All run in the same rivers

Saul williams :
All rivers run in the same direction
If you're serving the father theres no sun w/o matter
Parent bodies discover water
Bodies and drown
Wade me in the water
'Til atlantis is found
On the sea floors of self
I'm starfish and unbound
Heard the way of that mound is stone mountain
Underwater volcanoes erupt water fountains of youth
Test this carnal equation cancel out wind and truth
Swirl me beyond sometimes
Drench me water proof
Let eve drop forever rain
Sunsets on my roof
As i sit on the front porch of my sanity
Deciphering hambones to van gogh this vanity
Oiled egos
Canvased and framed
To be reborn unborn unburied unnamed
A reflection through a blood stained glass window
Or souls

Esthero :
There is a monster living
It's the voice of children
It is the tao of now

Saul williams :
Gone yellow round the edges
Carbonated dreams and blurred daily lives
But let family bring focus
Out of swamps blossom lotus
The muddy water blue daughter of infinity
Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity
As we rise with the tides toward divinity

Esthero :
Now...
There is a monster living its in the voice of children
It is the tao of now

Saul williams :
Yes we rise with the tides towards divinity
The muddy water blue daughter of infinity
Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity
As we rise with the tides toward divinity....
Yes we rise with the tides towards diviinty
Now we rise with the tides towards divinity
'Cause we rise with the tides towards divinity

Saul williams :
The tao of now
Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now

Esthero :
There is a monster living it's in the voice of children
It is the tao of now

( J. Englishman and Esthero )

Esthero :
Oh, oh, oh..

J. Englishman:
Well I've been watching from the shadows
While you shook your fist at God
And screamed for all who listened
About how he's done you wrong
Why don't you put away your pistols
Climb down off your cross
Coz the battle's long been over
And the war is long since lost
And all those bridges that you've broken
Done burned down long ago
Coz you just had to be the superstar

Esthero & J. Englishman:
Just had to be the hero
You just had to be the hero

J. Englishman:
Well I was there in the beginning
And I saw you choose your path
I watched your candle burning
And I knew it wouldn't last
Coz when experience comes knocking
Innocence will pass
And all that once seemed child-like
Is now ugly, crude and crass
And you wonder how you lost yourself
So many years ago
Coz you just had to be the superstar

Esthero & J. Englishman:
Just had to be the hero
You just had to be the hero
(Yeah)

J. Englishman:
Are you as angry on the inside
As you are on the surface

Esthero and J. Englishman:
Been frontin' so long you've forgotten the purpose
Now there's a hole in the whole
Where your soul
Used to be
Uh huh

Esthero and J. Englishman:
Well I've been watching from the shadows
While you shook your fist at God
And screamed for all who listened
About how he's done you wrong
Why don't you put away your pistols
Climb down off your cross
Coz the battle's long been over
And the war is long since lost
And now this old broken heart
Weeps for the one I used to know
Who just had to be the superstar
Just had to be the hero
You just had to be the hero
Why did you have to be the hero

Too rude
To say you're sorry
Too rude
Just say you're leaving me
I can't pretend that i don't mind
So i'm
The better woman now.
Well you could screeeeaaaam out
But no ones listening
And to me your silence is deafening
I can't pretent that i dont mind
So i'm the better woman now
Too rude
Too rude
Just say you're sorry
Just say you're sorry
Just say you're leaving me

Universal Quest

Left Eye:
It's for the open minded

Now
Now what do you believe?
Who do you receive?
Where do you go next?
And through what exit do you leave?
The questions that I believe confessions go to He
Count your many lessons and blessings that they bring
This is for my breed and all life that is conceived
Energy told me you manifest your destiny
What is energy?
It's what you eat
It's what you breathe
It's what you think
It permeates throughout your being
And serves a link to all other energies
That's anything and everything
Moving light that you have never seen
And light carries information
Without hesitation vibrations glean
Through the constellation, manifestation stimulated
Better destination, total creation realizations
And mental concentration
Alienated from the truth
Is why we conversated
Savin' the nation for the youth
Is for my observation

Esthero:
Are you free or are you guided?
Do you make your own decisions?
Our only responsibility is love (love)

Left Eye:
Let's touch on Christianity
I question all humanity
Is God so full of vanity?
That children enter this family
Who haven't yet to see that Jesus is the key
Or suffer this calamity, I cast you down for an eternity
Insanity
You can call me what you want to
But the man in me
Separated from this false reality
Would never be the victim of casualty
For my lack of understanding there's a guarantee
Spirituality has immortality
No matter your status or nationality
What's your locality notice the fallacy
We're all separated by principalities
Billions of galaxies and all you see is this
In the totality of eternal bliss
A life of sin it's all the kin

Esthero:
Are you free or are you guided?
Do you make your own decisions?
Our only responsibility is love (love)

Are you free or are you guided?
Do you make your own decisions?
Our only responsibility is love (love)

Left Eye:
You see, we like to make things complicated
You don't have to read books and go to church
To learn about God
And find out
We don't know how to talk to each other
You know if we all just be quiet
Then we'll realize that we can really hear each other
And then you'll realize that you already have the answers

Esthero:
Are you free or are you guided?
Do you make your own decisions?
Our only responsibility is love (love)

Are you free or are you guided?
Do you make your own decisions?
Our only responsibility is love (love)

Do you make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own
Do you all make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own

Do you make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own
Do you all make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own

Do you make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own
Do you all make, make your own?
'Cause you're all on your own

I called Chad on Wednesday night
So we could make plans for Thursday night
He said "we could go hit the peapods"
I was like yeah, that's my favorite spot
Plus I like it there, cuz I got love on the list
High powered juice, where I don't even get frisked
Walk up in the place and get love from the misses
Pounds from my brothers, cuz they knowing that disses
The place to be to let it all out
But when the weekend come, the weekend come
Y'all could come
So go tell ya momma come and ya papa come
Go to spin the record so we can get dumb
Place packed, capacity maximum
Due to my man Polo Promotion
And I can't wait to go out and hear some

Jumping music, swift D.J.'s
Smoke machines and laser rays
Look out weekend cuz, here I come
Because weekends are word.. are worrrd
