Come (#3)

(Come) {repeat in song}

This is the dawning of the new spiritual revolution

CHORUS:
Come - U should do that, baby - no more will U cry
Come - The spirit's calling, here's the reason why
Come - If U had a chance 2 see the future, would U try?
Come - If U will, so will I

When I call U up, I wanna tell U what 2 wear
Don't be surprised if I tell U 2 go bare
Long as U wash between your soul and through your hair
The feeling will be there

CHORUS

Come {x2}
U should do that, baby
Come {x2} (No)

Like a splendid, open-ended, celibate friend pretendin'
Not 2 know it when I blow it in your eyes
Like a strawberry, chocolate, fender jazz, mashed potato fuzztone
All over your thighs
That's the only come I know when I'm deep inside that... yeah!
That's the only time, the only time U go:
"Oh baby, U're so good" {x2}
Aw, shut up!
This is just so U...
Come {x2}
U should do that, baby

Come
U should do that, baby
Come {x2} (No)
{repeat phrase}

(Come) {repeat till end}

Days Of Wild

(Hold onto your wigs!) {sample repeats in song}

Break down! This is a bust
All U sorry motherfuckers up against the wall
If U don't play, bite the dust
Cuz in a couple of simple fuckin' phrases
I'm gonna hip U 2 the fuckin' plays of
The brand new mad style, uh
Cuz these are the days of wild - hit me!

Pop guns and weed? Brother please!
We're 2 wise 4 nonsense
The other 90's was better suited 4 that biz
Back when Dick was fuckin' Liz
Before soda pop had fizz
Don't blame it on yo' jockstrap full of jizz
Mentality so insane
I got a Tech-9 2 and it's called my brain
Shoot another brother? Not 2day
Death from envy is the only way
Here I can tear shit up cuz that's my style
And these are the days of wild - hit me!
These are the days of wild {x2}

Hooker, bitch and ho, I don't think so
I only knew one and never told her tho'
I thought about many times (Diss me?)
But that's the kind of shit that make U check your mind
Is your blood type the type that flows
Or is your blood type the type just stereo?
A woman every day should be thanked
Not disrespected, not raped or spanked
And if a woman ever said I did
Uh, she's a motherfuckin' liar and I'm a set-up kid
And I can tear shit up y'all cuz that's my style
And these are the days of wild - hit me!
These are the days of wild

Oh oh oh, by the way, I play guitar!

Tennis shoes and caps, now that's phat
Up until the day another wanna laugh behind your back
Sayin' we all look the same, huh
God bless America, home of the brave
I'd rather dress 2 make a woman stare
I'm puttin' on somethin' that another won't dare
It's a freezer burn compared 2 cool
And if U still got loot, then who's the fool?
Everybody wanna take the stand
Mind your own motherfucker, let a man be a man
I can tear shit up y'all cuz that's my style
And these are the days of wild - hit me!
These are the days of wild - hit me! {x2}

Much props 2 the upside down double 6
Baddest, freezer burnin', head turnin'
Make a brother yearnin' sister walkin' the face
U know who U are
4 love

Hit me! {repeat 2 fade}

Empty Room (#2)

Empty room, empty room
How am I gonna fill U?
How am I gonna fill this empty room?

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
How am I gonna fill this empty room?

Found a strand of your hair
By the bathroom window
How am I ever gonna get U off my mind?

In my bed, in my head
Every word U've spoken
How am I ever gonna fill this empty room?

Lonely hearts, worlds apart
Why must they be broken?
When we could be somewhere makin' love

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
Baby, why did U leave me all alone?

On barren walls, tears fall
But what's the use in cryin'?
I gotta find a way 2 fill this empty room

Funky

{segued from "Love, Thy Will Be Done"}
Y'all like that shit we just did at the end?
Y'all wanna get funky?
Aww shit!

Mayte's in the kitchen stirring up the pot
Brother's out here waiting, trying 2 see what she got
What she trying 2 show me, is not from the Golden Rule

This here funk, y'all, listen 2 me, U can't learn it
in school

CHORUS:
Let's get funky, yeah!
Get it on, right on!
Everyday!

Morris on the organ, a-gettin' real funky
Tommy on piano, gettin' funky 2
Michael B. on the drum uh, gettin' real funky
I got something that I wanna shake 4 U

CHORUS

People in the front row, U know U get funky
People upstairs, U know U're real funky 2
NPG, we know we're funky
Cuz we do everything and anything we want 2

CHORUS

Yeah!
Is it funky? {x2}
Alright! This is alright!

Funky, yeah!

Funky Design

Just when U thought it was safe 2 go outside
I hit your ass with another funky design
And it's real good
U thought it wasn't when U shoulda
Checked yourself before U got another foot in your ass
And now it comes 2 pass another phat shot from the higher class
That's right, U're still a rookie, see
Kickin' it with the grown folks in the wrong key
Honey please, U need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS:
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
The funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
The funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
The funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind

Shouts out 2 the rookies, put it in the bank
And let it gain a cent or 2 until it just stanks
And flows, your nose will know
When it's all wrinkled, then it's good 2 go
On the fire, I would be a liar
If I didn't say I wanna take U higher
And hip U 2 the one-eyed bass
Listen 2 the solo while it pleads my case

Honey please, U need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS

And just when U thought it was over, it started up again
Kickin' so loud that it's sure 2 frighten and when
U try 2 run 4 cover
The girl that U're with wanna be my lover
And the DJ instead of kickin' a favorite tune
Scratches on the record that reverberates the room
Like a train crash, U better save yo' ass
The funky design is back and it's bad
Housequake, oh no, I'll kill
Any rookie dumb enough 2 let that nigga spill
Out any speaker, see?
I'm the motherfucker now and if U please
U need 2 need 2 need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design

Blow your mind

The funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
The funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design
Blow your mind, blow your mind
Everybody's trippin' on the funky design

The funky design {x4}
Blow your mind
Blow-blow
Blow your mind

CHORUS {repeat till fade}

It Takes 3

CHORUS:
It takes 3, U and me
And her 2 - tell me pretty baby what U wanna do

I've seen the future, baby, and it looks like U and I
All wrapped up in love that'll never die
Maybe I just want another 2 keep U happy while I'm away
A friend as special as U should never be lonely, a single day

It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me (Hey)
It takes 3

Nothin' I want 2 do will make U uncomfortable, I swear
Wherever my hands go, baby, it'll be cuz U put 'em there
I could be satisfied with talking about all we could do
But I'm wise enough 2 know that's the only way 2 get wit' U
And her 2

CHORUS

It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me
It takes 3

Check this out
U know my every thought if U think about it long enough
Don't ask me why, nothing's lost if U try
But 2 not, is 2 never know if U and me and her could flow
Let's go, let's go 2 the land of "Yes I will"
G'on put your foot up on that window sill

It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me (Hey)

CHORUS

Hell yeah, baby
Shake all that (CHORUS)
Girl, U got something the whole world should see
I'm so proud of U
If I can't get a witness who'll believe it's true (It takes 3)
Nobody, that's why it takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't see me (It takes 3)
U can't see me

(It takes 3)
Fellows g'on and sing that I'm jettin'
(If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me)

Don't forget your rain coat

Money, money, money jumpin' out of my pockets

Slave 2 The System

(Slave) {repeat in song}

Slave, yeah {x2}

Slave 2 the system here before I was born
Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn
The only penthouse I can count on's a big black ball and chain
Slave 2 the system, the future's all arranged

Oh, U better fetch that water, boy {x2}
Slave 2 the system

Thompson's my last name, but my daddy's name is Lloyd
The farther back I trace it, the more it becomes null and void
All my life I've struggled just 2 be called a boy
Slave 2 the system, oh what a joy

Oh, U better fetch that water, boy
Hell if I do!
(Oh, U better fetch that water, boy)
Oh, I'm just a slave 2 the system

Here before I was born
Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn

Slave 2 the system
