What About Your Friends Lyrics
Every now and then I get a little crazy That's not the way it's supposed to be Sometimes my vision is a little hazy I can't tell who I should trust or just who I let trust me (yeah) People try to say I act a little funny But that's just a figure of speech to me They tell me I changed because I got money But if you were there before then you're still down with me [Chorus:] What about your friends Will they let you down again What about your friends are they gonna be low down Will they ever be around or will they turn their backs on you Well is it me or can it be I'm a little too Friendly so to speak hypothetically Say I supply creativity to what others Must take as a form of self-hate Only to make an enemy Which results in unfortunate destiny They dog me out then be next to me Just cause I am what some choose to envy Every now and then I get a little easy I let a lot of people depend on me I never though they would ever deceive me Don't you know when times got rough I was standing on my own I'll never let another get that clost to me You see I've grown a lot smarter now Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see If your friends is true they'll be there with you Through the thick and thin [Chorus] Yo is it me, is it me or can it be I am a little too friendly So to speak hypothetically 'Cause I supply creativity to what others Must take as a form of self-hate Only to make an enemy Which results in unfortunate destiny They dog me out then be next to me Just cause I am what some choose to envy [Chorus] People say I asc a little funny I wouldn't change not for no money I'll be a friend as long as you're a friend to me (yeah, yeah) Even though I might seem easy It don't give you no cause to deceive me It's not the way that I want my friends to ever be [Chorus]
His Story Lyrics
Yo, this is a story of a male female threat to society You know being misjudged and not respected for what we are But I want to send this special shout out to my girl Tawana Brawley Cause no matter what we say or what we do They'll always believe his story (ow) [Chorus:] His story (yeahee, yeahee, yeahee) Hist story (ow) They're gonna believe His story His story Why does it have to be that we get labeled for what we do It's hard enough for us to be ourselves without being used Girls have an image too But when they get mad at you There is no telling what they'll say to hurt you This is a story of a male female threat to society Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeah, oooh) His story over mine his story will be his story And my story is a waste of time (aaaah-aah-aah) They're gonna believe [Chorus] Sometimes I feel like there is no reason for me to explain No matter how much we complain You know it all stays the same They try to call us freaks Why does it have to be We can't get justified until we speak up (oooh) This is a story of a male female threat to society Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeah, oooh) His story over mine his story will be his story And my story is a waste of time (aaaah-aah-aah) (You know it's just a waste of my time) They're gonna believe His story over mine So what you gonna do Don't let it take over you (hey) My story is a waste of time It's hard enough to be ourselves without being used So yo take it from me Don't be a victim of society You can't put yourself in a position to be neglected And disrespected You have to do what's not expected Alright Or all be in his story His story over mine His story will be his story (This is a story of) how could you do this to us They're gonna belive His story over mine His story will be his story and My story is a waste of time They're gonna belive His story over mine His story will be his story And my story is a waste of time You're gonna believe This is a story of a male female threat to society Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeah, yeah) This is a story (peace, love and hair and grease from TLC)of a male Female threat to society Why you wanna go tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeahee, ho)

This Is How It Should Be Done Lyrics
This is how is should be done This is how it should be done comin' out of the black shade Fightin' to lighten a path made back Let's go way back to the beginnin' That's when an idea took part from the start Listen to another Marley beat I'm impatient I gotta leave my seat for motivation Pump the bass what's next Kckin' the steps me and the mirror's havin' wreck So hard that I cracked my neck And I'm poppin sweat now I'm soakin' wet But I feeeel it Grab the beat cause I must Defeat it's a funky groove So I steeeel it To improve what could Soon be the Left Eye move Pin it down and snatch a sample to loop it up And start makin' my own example cause [Chorus:] This is how it should be done This is how it should be done (yeah, yeah) This is how it should be done This is how it should be done This style is identical to none This is how it should be done steppin' into a shade a bit lighter Now is the time to write a rhyme a rhythmic type of memo Tick-tack it to the track it is now my demo-kay What's to da where's to go yo I don't know Who's to see see ya at the local show Me and Mo takin' a chance and he's dancin' Round and round the deck as I flow But what an awkward situation Cause there's not much crowd participation For checkin' me out I'm too new it Gots to be somethin' else another way to do it So I sit back and think for a minute Which city needs a little more talent in it Maybe A.T.L. is the place packed up left Philly gotta hit LaFace [Chorus] This is how it should be done (hey) This style is identical to none This is how it should be done and I'm comin' through Grippin' the mic spittin' out what's after verse 2 And ready to rock the spot cause I'm on it They wanna see what I got Givin' it all and makin' it seem so simple to be myself Along wit' doin' what I do Cool they want me not knowin' I'm soon to be the "L" of TLC Word up T.B.O.Z. that's T-Boz Saucin' it up is Chilli We three alike all small in height but I'm Left Eye Cause the eye is right So now they thinkin' well is we ready enough Yeah it's time to get busy The aftermath is the brightest path so far Yo cause here we are This is how it should be done This is how, this is how [Chorus]
Depend On Myself Lyrics
Guys they always wonder about me (yeah, I hear ya "T") Cause everything I have is my own (I'm feelin' dis) There's no other way you can doubt me (and I'm listenin') Before I trust you I'll just be here alone Can I tell ya, can I tell ya, can I tell ya Gosh golly dern so you still haven't learned Well I'll be a damn fool See cause it's headaches you've honestly earned me You're jackin' da plan I'm like who are you man Peter Pan but it's still cool G Slack off my back slip da hell out My knee and yo correct dat effect I'm not feelin dis G [Chorus:] I can depend on myself I don't need anybody else To be on my back like that, to be on my back like that Buys they always wonder what's with me (say what, say what, say what) I never let them get in too close I have my own control I can't be bought or sold And I never have to do what I'm told Yo ladies are you feelin' what I'm sayin' Well smoke okey doke as if this was a joke Cause you think you got balls of the great n' black jaws But your leg I will poke like an egg crackin' a busted yolk It's a negative cause I won't pause Til you truthfully see are you Listenin' to me til you truthfully See indendently like I handle myself I need nobody else [Chorus] A fist full of fate how much more can I take This is 6 minus 7 plus 1 ending none you should go to Where I'm comin' from take your turn tryna teach A dumb-dumb so it be just a bad memory Til you truthfully see are you listenin' to me Til you truthfully see independently Like I handle myself I need nobody else [Chorus] I can depend on myself
