Fusion 04:00
lyrics

yeah…i’m awake…i’m awake now if the sun shines—nuclear fusion if the rain blows—then it’s illusion if you could give me the light in my life, i don’t believe it i could go to sleep and i wouldn’t worry i could go to sleep and i woudn’t care i could go to sleep with a smile on my face that wasn’t just there to forget those things that weren’t the truth it would be like an umbrella that i didn’t need because it woudn’t rain i tried to know you i tried to let you near me but it’s that disease that goes down into your eyes that i could never hold on to if the sun shines on my face will i turn brown? will i turn black? will i die from cancer? if the sun shines—nuclear fusion if the rain blows—then it’s illusion if you could give me the pill tonight, i would cherish everyone

Glory 04:45
lyrics

Let me tell y’all folks a story ‘Bout a foolish boy named Glory He did everything Daddy told him Did everything so Momma’d hold him He’d wake up early before dawn Just to hear that rooster sing song He loved listenin’ to the grass grow Enjoyed his life and took it slow Now he won’t so good at the books But he sure won’t short on looks Any girl in town would take him down If he won’t so shy around them All the year before graduation Glory didn’t think about his next station He just did enough for the grade Went out nights with friends and played {chorus} Glory Glory Glory, Hallelu Glory Glory Glory, Hallelu Glory Glory Glory Mamma saw her son givin’ speeches Daddy thought he’d fill the bleachers His voice was sure strong and his legs long He could’ve done either one to suit him Ten years ago he could have laid tar Twenty past he could have made cars This far north, the colored boys had a choice Before the jobs and people left Glory’s Momma had her son to sit down They had a talk—covered ground She got him thinking about his future What was next? He wasn’t too sure He went for a walk down the block just to clear his mind Looking for some answers to find Glory’s head hung so low His heavy soul could take no more {chorus} Late that May a man came by Offerin’ kids a chance to fly He said, “Let’s be clear, just sign right here And you’ll be all you can be!” Glory had decided in a minute If there’s action he wanted it Nothin’ to loose and fame to gain Right then he became a man When Glory told his folks he was leavin’ Even Pops couldn’t help weepin’ Mamma tried to stay strong Told Glory, “So long” Mamma sent her boy a letter each week Daddy cut war articles to keep But when that call came they won’t prepared All that man said was, “Glory’s dead.” {chorus}

Do you want me? 03:47

{chorus} Do you want me ‘cause you’re horny? Or is it because my money’s Got you naked back for seconds All up in my home? Do you want me ‘cause you’re horny? Or is it because my money? All these jewels must got you fooled It ain’t no joke—I’m broke Do you want me? Do you need some? Some sweet and tender care? If you want me, I’ll hold your hand and act like were in love Tell all your friends I take you out and treat you so damn nice But we both know the truth of it—all you know is my number and my name {chorus} {bridge} Baby don’t let them tell you that I’m never gonna leave Cause if I’ve gone astray I’ll go astray and up and leave one day Baby go on and tell me all those crunked up lame old lines Since I don’t pay no mind to nothing ‘cept your sexy behind Do you want me? Do you need some... {chorus}

What I can never be is what you—you are to me Like a fool you give Like a fool you smile What I can never be is what you—you are to me Finding me is like a sour fruit turnin’ sweet I like you—you love me I try to tell you everything Inside of my words all you’ll find is lies {chorus} I want to hold you close to me I want to lay you down inside my sheets Are you so blind that you think that you’ll be mine? Just cause I give you every kiss Don’t think that you’ll be missed Hold me and you’ll be waitin’ for something that will never be Never worth your while So, please don’t stay with me If the truth is sharp and I deflect every knife, Is that love? Is that love? Is that love? I am a coward ‘cause I can’t even leave you now I just wait a pray you go {chorus} {bridge} All I just wanna do Is touch to you And feel you riding next my heart Into you we go we go we go we go I don’t want to be I don’t want to I don’t want to be Never thought that we Everywhere we go ain’t nothin’ But what it takes to get some lovin’

It's About Time 03:43

Don’t go listening to what your friends have to say They don’t know nothin’ about me I bet they try to tell you to go back home If you believed that I wasn’t good enough Would you have walked this way to see me? Am I supposed to think that you don’t care at all? Some people say that eyes just cannot tell a lie Sometimes the truth cannot be held back From just one look I know, we share love {chorus} Don’t you tell me that you don’t ‘cause I know your heart won’t let you live without me in your life so just release these binds these word these promises that we could never be so close that I could feel the heat from your chest I want all the rest I know that you think that I’m doing nothing with my life But if you let me I'd tell you I’ve got such wonderful plans for you and me I want to try to be your everything All I need to live if you Can you see that there is a future for us? There is so much that I’ve kept from everyone I want to let you in and know me I want to hear you say, “Yes, I love you” {chorus} It’s about time that you told me how you feel It’s about time that you decide what to do It’s about time that we should go

I believe that there was one of them that I could get into, if I tried I know she’d be mine In the time it takes to blink an eye my boy was stuck on her, spittin’ his lines from a mind on cheap wine I couldn’t ever get close enough to tell her, oh some stuff like, “You make my everyday divine” So it was none of my business thinkin’ that she’s so fine—she was never meant to be mine {chorus} I don’t think that you could be my friend If you loved me you would pretend To hold me in your arms like I want you to, yeah While she was listenin’ to him rap, she kind of looked at me, like she had some secret to tell I, I, I wish I could say I was strong, so strong I let her be—better to be careful ‘round that female If only it was that simple I would have walked away, wouldn’t have gotten to know her details Ain’t no use pretendin that I was good ‘cause it was late that night that I made sure to hit it so well {chorus} Why did I have to spend all the night to wake up in your house knowing that I can’t be your man? Don’t you think that it is bad enough? My boy was sweet on you and all I did was to steal his woman Guess I’ll try to leave before sunrise it will seem like a dream then we can pretend nothing happened Around you, I don’t have self-control, you should stay ‘way from me or I’ll be in you bed again {chorus}
