The Truth
It’s getting cold, but I know the heat’s on blast
Picking up the scent, you’re smoking another stash
If you want to run, well darlin' that’s alright
I woke up your man, but I might not be tonight,
you gotta...
Chorus
GIMME THE TRUTH!
The whole truth, and nothing but it baby
Cause I ain’t got time to play
You and me might disagree, but I need some honest-ay
(I been) trying to find, some peace of mind
But today just ain’t my day
I’m seeing the sign that you been lying
And this is what I gotta say
You’ve got show me that you want it, you want it
A path of love you know I’m on it, I’m on it
There’s a, place for you to walk along it, along it
You gotta, tell me the truth, or get off it
Chorus… Horns…
DO YOU WANT IT The Truth!
I WANT IT You know I deserve it baby!
DO YOU WANT IT I hope you want it for yourself
I WANT IT
Horn Solo…
I can’t stand it baby
The way that you deceive
And I can’t believe the nasty lies
You keep on feeding me
If you got to run child,
Then go and run away
You know I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can't
Stay and be your fool for another day
I want it, What you’re thinking of
I’m on it, A path of truth and love
I need it, I keep asking why
Believe it, I can’t say goodbye
I want it, Do you want me to stay
I’m on it, Or do you want to run away
I need it, You gotta make me see
Believe it, Make me believe
Make me believe
Chorus

Fool No More
Crashing walls, I think I’m fallin
Twisted on a witches brew
I can’t run, if I’m crawling
But I gotta rip the stitches too
I believe that I can reach a higher part of me
If I set myself free the possibilities are endless
Chorus
It’s no surprise, that as the days goes by
The fool in me’s not fooled no more
Tomorrow’s an open door
Emancipation, trying to reach her
Learning from each day and night
Using love, as my teacher
What was dark is coming into light
I can see that I can reach a higher part of me
Now I set myself free cuz the possibilities are endless
Chorus
It’s no surprise, that as the days go by
The fool in me’s not fooled no more
Tomorrow’s an open door
It’s taken time, seeing the days go by
To not let the fool be fooled no more
Tomorrow’s an open door
Bridge
Don’t believe, that you can’t achieve the things you’d like
To see, in your life
You just gotta release, your mind,
Believe that if you feel it then you will find
The signs, to steer you to that golden path of light
Chorus Vamp

Know It Too Well
There’s nothing I can say to change you
You made your mind up long befo’
Don’t matter what comes up its steady going down
Holding on when we should just let go
We keep on talking, about the things we’re doing
I see you stressing, about the way it’s moving
I hear you cussing, you got fire in your veins
We keep on trying, but it’s far from the same
Chorus
(We) Know it too well
We did it dirty, now it’s far from clean
But we can’t mend a broken dream
Lost and sinking but not knowing when to bail
When there ain’t no wind that’s filling up our sail
Pre… Chorus…
What can we do with all this mess?
And what’s the use of all this stress?
Uncertain of tomorrow & clutching to the past
But not everything is meant to last

Damn!
This one goes out to all my fly, free, family
You know the ones who ain’t afraid
To let their skeletons dance in the middle
And put their truth on parade
The negativity we keep at a distance
We are a magnet for the light
If you’re low let us give you assistance
Because we’re here to take you high!
Chorus
DAMN! Get Down…
You'll never get high, won't touch the sky if your feet don't leave the ground
SAY WHAT!? Get Down…
1. Get off of yo seat and shake that thang around
2. Gotta shake that thang you hear the sound
It ain’t no secret that the spirit’s getting so(ul)full
…And it sure ain’t no surprise
When each and every hand is high and hopeful
It brings us closer to the sky
So let your freak flag fly, to yourself be true
Love your friend, love your enemy, you better show gratitude
Do you want it (YEA!!!) Then own it (YEA!!!)
Open your heart wide (HELL YEA!!!)
Take a sip of liberation, and let you freak go wild
You got swagger
You got class
You got everything so let me see you shake that ass
You're a boss
You ain't no sucka
It's gettin way too stankin funky in this mutha (whaa?!)

So High
So high
This is what it feels like
When everything is Alright
And it goes all night… till the day light
The purple light of the morning, not yet come
The night is young, and we ain’t going no where
The neon trails of the sunlight, start to come
But we’re still here, and we ain’t going no where, no where
Chorus
The haze of greener gardens, fill the air
Without a care, and we ain’t going no where
The empire of the sun transforming, the evening air Without a care, and we ain’t going no where

Danger
She keeps her secrets
Tucked in her bird nest hair
Like a maze craze, tryin to find your way might take days
Boy so you better beware
She ain’t evil,
But she's far from kind
She a see saw knee drop praise to the heavens
Hurricane that'll leave you blind
She’s got the key, she'll use to(o)
Light the fire inside of you
Step to the side
Or take the ride
There's no where else to run or hide
Chorus
DANGER! Can’t fight the feeling no more
You’ve got to believe
(This) STRANGER! Too hypnotic to ignore
She’s got what you need
10-steps ahead
She knows just what to do
Her LOVE don’t come for free she gotta see if you’re stepping true
It’s a tug of love
The only war is in your mind
Her hocus pocus comes into focus as you leave all your cares behind
She’s got the key, she'll use to(o)
Light the fire inside of you
Step to the side
Or take the ride
There's no where else to run or hide
DANGER! Can’t fight the feeling no more
You’ve got to believe
(This) STRANGER! Too hypnotic to ignore
She’s got what you need
She’s got the key, she'll use to(o)
Light the fire inside of you
Step to the side
Or take the ride
There's no where else to run or hide
DANGER! Can’t fight the feeling no more
You’ve got to believe
(This) STRANGER! Too hypnotic to ignore
She’s got what you need

Back It Up
You know we got the sho fire love that’s made to last
But in this age of cra-ziness things move so fast
When we’re messing around, we forget about tried and true
Fallin away, in the day to day, from loving you
You just Slow it Down
And take a little time to see
The next Go-A-Round
You’ll get your head up off that screen
There ain’t no Stress or Need
To be ANYbody else but you
We’re the Kings and Queens
But we gotta be present to rule
Chorus
Back… It Up -- Taking the time to love
There ain’t no thing that we can’t swing
Get knocked down, we get up and sing
Gotta take a little time to remind us about the truth
All it takes is reflection… so we can find
Direction and get some peace of mind
Any little thing that’s gonna bring me back to you
Back… It Up -- Taking the time to love
