KEEPIN' IT REAL

Got to change my attitude
Heard a young man say
About the world today,
"It's how much money you got... and that's the truth."

PRE CHORUS 1
He nearly made me cry
I looked him in the eye
And said, "Stop your stinkin' thinkin' or you'll lose."

Keeping it real with his brothers
Keeping it real with his sisters, too
Not gonna let his problems - bring him down
He likes how it feels when he's keeping it real - no messin' around

VERSE 2
There was a young girl who made a choice
That led her down a lost and lonely road
She couldn't see
How she'd ever break free
Of the self-inflicted chains and the heavy load

She wouldn't give in
Being a victim to the way she'd been
She said, "I don't want be that any more."

Keeping it real with her sisters, too
Not gonna let her problems - bring her down
She likes how it feels when she's keeping it real - no messin' around

Keeping it real with your brothers
Keeping it real with your sisters, too
Not gonna let your problems - bring you down
You'll like how it feels when you're keeping it real - no messin' around

With no love to be found
'Bout as broken as a man could be
I was thinkin' all was lost
That line was surely crossed
Then your eyes met mine, it was so divine

CHORUS:
You are so heavenly - forever yours I'll be
Our love is the highest high for eternity
You are so heavenly

I had so much to learn
Didn't know which way I'd turn
When you lose at love, you've lost everything
Then I knew right from the start
You'd mend this broken heart
A miracle from above, oh the joy you bring

You are so heavenly - forever yours I'll be
This love is the highest high for eternity
You are so heavenly - forever yours I'll be
Our love is the highest high for eternity

Oooh oooh - so wonderful

Oooh, love is so powerful

If you spend the night with me I know you'll see
There's nowhere you'd rather be
But I can only imagine
Yeah I can only imagine

Friday night in my ride
Something in the air has got me thinking
Something's going down tonight
Buzzed and I'm not even drinking
Wasn't till you caught my eye
That everybody else ceased to exist
And I didn't have to question why
I knew this was a moment we could not miss

The way you move your body
Across the floor
You become the beat that keeps it flowin'
I wanna move your body
Closer to the door
See if we can keep this rhythm goin'

CHORUS

When you're swaying side to side
Everybody's looking but they can't touch
Cuz for the moment now you are mine
Got my heartbeat racing my blood feels the pump of the kick when it thumps
Put my hands where you want
Is this real or is it fantasy
Are you even really here with me
Would I know if you were a dream

The way you move your body
Across the floor
Like you doin' it just for me
I wanna move your body
Closer to the door
Cuz if you see what I see then

CHORUS

I wonder can I take you home
I wonder can I take you home

CHORUS

Yeah she's built for speed (She's built for speed)

GOOD THANG

I've got a good thang
I've got it good

Oh you got it and you know it's good
And I'm glad that you are mine
From the moment you walked in my life
Like the sun you brighten up my sky

Take it from me darling, take it from me
I'll go anywhere you want me to go
Now I'm wearing out this smile
'Cause I know

CHORUS:
I've got a good thang, baby

You know I give you all my love
And I give you all my time
Better believe out of everyone
That you are my lucky find

Take it from me darling, take it from me
I'll go anywhere you want me to go
Now I'm wearing out this smile
Cause I know

CHORUS

You got legs
That go way up to the top
The way you walk
In that pretty little frock
With your hair flowing down
Like it's never gonna stop
You're the real thing

You got eyes
I'd like to dive inside
And your body, babe
You ain't got nothing to hide
And when you smile
You make a grown man cry
You're the real thing

You're like the writer's muse
In so many songs
Cos you're the kind of woman
That every man wants

You're a goddess
From the bottom to the top
If you were holy water
I would never waste a drop
I get drunk on you
And I don't know how to stop
You're the real thing

You're like a shower of rainbows
That light up the world
There's nothing false about you
You're the perfect girl

No matter what
I love whatever you do
I'd walk a million miles
Just to enjoy the view
There's not a single man
Who's not in love with you
You're the real thing

You're the real thing, baby
You're the real thing
Don't know a single man
Who's not in love with you
You're the real thing

Oh... oh-oh-oh oh yeah
Mm... mm.. mm... uh huh uh huh uh huh

I know you
You know me, baby
We're happy as
We could be

There's no reason
We should change
Our love has always
Been the same

You're so fine
And you're mine
My feeling's running deep
It's time time time

So, what do you say?
Do you feel like I do?
I can't wait any more, baby
I wanna make love to you

CHORUS:
I wanna make sweet love to you
I wanna make love

I wanna make love to you
Cover you with kisses all night through
I wanna make sweet love to you

Come to these lovin' arms of mine

I wanna make love to you

I wanna make sweet love to you

Wanna make love to you

Stop and smell the roses
You'll be surprised at what you find while disregarding passing time
When all this life seems so controllin'
It's time to just release, let go, get back to all the ease and flow

Take your time embrace your life
What ya got to lose?
No one can invade your mind
What ya got to prove?

CHORUS
Let nobody keep you down

Look into the light, it's always there to guide you
Nothing else to to trust but just the voice that speaks inside you

If you could just release
Then you could find your peace

Don't let the hate that circulates
Be anything more than a stepping stone to make you great

Hook2:
Let nobody keep you down
You just gotta keep on movin'
Can't nobody take your sound
When your mind lets go, your body will follow then
Lose it, lose it, lose it
No one knows what you've been through
So just lose it, lose it

Everything is lovely
There's so much beauty that abounds and so much magic all around
If you could choose to see it coming
Rather than see the absence of it as the chains that keep you bound

If you could just release
Then you could find your peace

CHORUS

Whoa, don't slow it down yet / I'm just getting' started
I'm not concerned with your position see cuz I been on a mission tryna reach a little more before I'm departed
If there's a couple left to listen to my intermission maybe it'll be an intervention and influence it
Turn the lies into the truth, it will be the only time that I decide to Lose It

CHORUS

Take your time embrace your life
What ya got to lose?
What ya got to prove?

CHORUS:
Ya know it makes me feel so
So brand new
So brand new

Ya know it makes me feel so

Being in love with you

Your tender touch
Your warm embrace
Takes this good heart to a higher place
My head is spinnin' all around
I'm so glad it's love that I found

(I've Got) That Lovin' Feeling Again

I've got that lovin' feeling again
And I'm never gonna let you go, no no no
I've got that lovin' feeling again
And I know I gotta let you know

Feels so good to have you back to stay

I've got that lovin' feeling again
And I'm never gonna let you go, no no no
I've got that lovin' feeling again
And I know I gotta let you know

And I'm never gonna let you go, no no my baby
I've got that lovin' feeling again
And I know I gotta let you know

So come on honey, come on home and see

Gotta see change --- gotta see some change
Gotta be change - gotta be some change...
Cold days - colder nights
Hopelessness is closing in
Work is hard to find and money's tight
Searching, but I don't know where to begin
Family's saying I gotta hit the street
We're hungry - ain't got enough to eat
Calling for help with the situation
Praying at night for salvation

CHORUS:
But I'm not gonna give up - no I won't give up
I ain't givin' up - No no no no no
I don't wanna give up - no I won't give up
Gotta see change comin' down
Gotta feel change comin' all around
More trouble every hour
Can't do much when you got no power
Politicians run their scam
They don't seem to give a damn
Way up in their ivory tower

CHORUS

Gotta see change comin' down
Gotaa see change comin' all around
