Value A Woman 00:47
lyrics
buy track
How do we value a woman? the liposuction hips the collagen injected lips the damaged bleached blonde hair or the relaxer that was applied with such care the chiseled nose the long flowing hair the expertly applied makeup the ability to produce a male heir the home cooked meals the spotlessly kept home the perfect children the eloquent speech how do we value a woman?

Power of A Woman 05:52
lyrics

You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained (twice) You keep me uneducated socially oppressed and violated you think this is the way to be a man All the crap I'm forced to endure because you feel so insecure when are you gonna grow up? Just give it up You think by covering me, you control my sexuality I'm the queen of the underground get it when you're not around You think that modesty will keep other men away from me Just fuel for the fire increases desire You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained Force me to stay at home raise the children all alone control my every move live by your stupid rules Education can't be kept from me along with new technology just a matter of time, 'til I get it right My beauty that you fear makes you feel so insecure you can't understand it so you try to destroy it You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained My beauty that you fear makes you feel so insecure my spirit is stronger than you and I am free You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained You can cover me from head to toe so that only my eyes show but the power of a woman cannot be contained I will never be contained will never be, will never be, contained force me to stay at home raise the children all alone cover me you can't control my sexuality The power of a woman can never be contained The power of a woman can never be contained The power of a woman can never be contained I will never be contained the power of a woman will never be contained.

Scream 03:01

Every time I think about you I wanna scream all the unnecessary pain and suffering all you ever did was criticize and tell me lies day after day there's a fee for this broken heart that you must pay I trusted you, never thought that you could do All the things my girls reported to me love made me blind, thought you were one of a kind but the stories you told, start getting old had to block it out, swallow my pride, realize you lied Every time I think about you I wanna scream all the unnecessary pain and suffering all you ever did was criticize and tell me lies day after day there's a fee for this broken heart that you must pay I've changed all the locks on my doors changed my phone, my email password all your gifts have been returned all your love letters burned the words out on the street don't dare step to me Every time I think about you I wanna scream all the unnecessary pain and suffering all you ever did was criticize and tell me lies day after day there's a fee for this broken heart that you must pay I gave you the best love you ever had you'll never find another love that looks as good as me and cooks as good as me that'll do the things in your bed enough said chorus

back in the day you knew how to love me right back in the day you knew how to hold me tight Back in the day you knew how to love me right Back in the day you knew how to love me right you knew how to hold me tight make love all through the night you used to love me...oh Chivalry and synergy were a part of you me your every sentence I could finish but now its all diminished My every thought is incomplete whenever it comes to you and me is our love trying to crash and burn make a u-turn Back in the day you knew how to love me right Back in the day you knew how to love me right you knew how to hold me tight make love all through the night you used to love me...oh Solo As the walls start crumbling down no sight of you anywhere you used to run home to greet me now your homies have replaced me Intimacy is a thing of the past but I must admit the one thing I truly miss is your laughter, your touch and your kiss

I've been to hell and back seen things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy no time for being depressed I'm just happy to still be here and since my life was spared I have more gifts to share threw away my ego I'm still so flawed and frayed but I am not dismayed only human The reflection I have made is what I offer to you my life is not the same the reflection I have made is what I offer to you the reflection of what used to be reflections of you and me When I wake up now, I know I'm blessed another day, another goal, another test and if I fail, I get up dust myself off and try it again try it this way and that way until I win The reflection I have made is what I offer to you my life is not the same the reflection I have made is what I offer to you the reflection of what used to be reflections of you and me I see my blessing from the lessons I see the forest through the trees, yeah and when I think I can't go no further that's when God steps in The reflection I have made is what I offer to you my life is not the same the reflection I have made is what I offer to you the reflection of what used to be reflections of you and me You and ME You and ME Reflections of how life used to be Reflections Reflections, Reflections of how life used to be

I came to you naïve and new didn't know what I was getting into thought I was educated I played my hand but you made it nowhere to run, nowhere to hide committed loves suicide you called my bluff, yes you did, yea, yeah Butterfly blues, my reward for loving you Butterfly blues, trapped in my cocoon unable to fly Butterfly blues, I'll never see the day I multiply Confrontation not your strong suit Indignation is the flavor of your pheromone Congratulations you passed me your poison an unsuspecting stranger how can I go on? I believed your lies, your friend spoke the truth I realize I should a left when I could, you meant me, meant me no good Butterfly blues, my reward for loving you Butterfly blues, trapped in my cocoon unable to fly Butterfly blues, I'll never see the day I multiply Solo Butterfly blues, my reward for loving you Butterfly blues, trapped in my cocoon unable to fly Butterfly blues, I'll never see the day I multiply I'll never reach the garden; I'm stuck in this tree never reaching my dreams I'm a fool for loving you I still love you!

How can I go on, How can I go on? You meant me no good, you meant me no good. Butterfly blues Butterfly blues Butterfly blues Shame on me, shame on you, trapped in my cocoon these butterfly blues.

I'll never trust a man with my heart again I'll never let a man near my heart again I'll never trust a man with my heart again in case I have to start again Love is blind they say. But I gave my all anyway. Solo I'll never trust a man with my heart again I'll never trust a man with my heart again I'll never trust a man with my heart again In case I have to start again I'll never trust a man with my heart again I'll never trust a man with my heart again I'll never trust a man with my heart again In case I have to start again start again...start again I believed all your lies, time after time should have left when I could but I loved you Never trust a man with my heart again I never trust a man with my heart again in case I have to start again

Same Ol' Music 02:47
lyrics

It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. So tired of hearing bump in grind 69 uninspired rhymes drug dealing tales, drive bys, gin and juice what you bought with yo loot Tired a hearing yo babies daddy treating you wrong Tired of hearing yo neck, yo back and all those other raunchy songs what happened to the days when music made you think? all I hear is destruction disguised by a funky beat It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. What's wrong with your head are you dead is money ruling your mind broken record stuck in a groove, you kick it like it's fine bragging glorifying all the wrong that you do in the name of the father, the almighty dollar it'll catch up to you, you'll sing the blues that artificial high you think you need to survive is the drain in your brain that devours your soul and your mind It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. It's the same ol' music it's the same old song on my radio all day long. On my radio, all day long its the same old music, the same old music. The same old, same old music Oh we need real music. We want real music. We want real music!

Evil Ways (Acoustic) 03:25

I used to hang out all night. Hanging in the streets ‘til the early morning light I used to creep around in the sunshine Thinking that that would cure my mind I don’t think I knew what I really wanted to do With my life But now everything’s going to be alright I changed my evil ways And now I don’t sin no more, no more I changed my evil ways Sometimes I back slide just a little I used to raise hell in my house Fighting with my brother trying to be the boss But I knew I was wrong So I packed my bags and I had to move on But there I was on the streets No place for a little girl to be But there I was on the streets Tired as hell with raggedy shoes on my feet I changed my evil ways And now I don’t sin no more, no more I changed my evil ways Sometimes I back slide just a little

Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce When I shared my dream others tried to demean the goal that I set for my future yet. Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce They tried to put shackles on my feet, enslave my mind keep me in a web of confusion, total delusion, I know who I am what I'm capable of, that my gifts are from my father up above As long as I give him the glory, he gives me the power to withstand Negativity, insincerity all the biters and backstabbers trying to kill me Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce not the same old music, not the same old song on my radio all day long Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce Let's lift each other, not pull each other down. Feed me positive vibes and I'll subscribe to the messages you produce not the same old music, or the same old song on my radio.
