"Nobody’s Listening"
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
it goes
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)
Coming at you from every side
"U Drive Me Crazy"
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you messin with my mind?
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you tellin' all these lies?
U Drive Me Crazy
Stop doing all these things to me
U Drive Me Crazy
`Cause all I want is to be free
I'm feelin' weak,
I cannot sleep
My head is burning,
I feel cold down to my feet
I wanna yell,
Somebody help
Is there a cure for what I've got?
Somebody tell me
I need your lovin' face
I need your sweet embrace
`Cause you are my only medicine
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you messin with my mind?
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you tellin' all these lies?
U Drive Me Crazy
Stop doing all these things to me
U Drive Me Crazy
`Cause all I want is to be free
You're on my mind,
I'm so uptight
I feel sensation in my head,
Down to my spine
Goin' insane
Can't stand the pain
Is my condition permanent?
Somebody tell me
I need your lovin' face
I need your sweet embrace
`Cause you are my only medicine
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you messin with my mind? (messin with my mind baby)
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you tellin' all these lies? (tellin' all these lies)
U Drive Me Crazy
Stop doing all these things to me
U Drive Me Crazy
`Cause all I want is to be free
24/7, You are on my mind
I'm going crazy
You are the cure and you know but you don't care
Girl, you're driving me insane...
[Rap by Tony Cottura]
You can say what you want to,
Do what you want to
As long as you love me girl,
I won't front you
You're the sweetest thing
Let me be your man
Let me hold your hand
Or let me be your friend
Meanwhile I will set the house up on a hill
Girl as you know it's all about the dollar bill
Gonna treat you like a queen,
Like a lady
Chica, chico you drive me crazy
You're always on my mind
I need you all the time
So come and get with me
`Cause darlin' you're the one I need
Someone to hold me tight
`Cause I can't sleep at night
You are my fantasy
Girl, you drive me crazy
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you messin with my mind
U Drive Me Crazy
Why are you tellin' all these lies? (tellin' all these lies)
U Drive Me Crazy
Stop doing all these things to me
U Drive Me Crazy
`Cause all I want is to be free
Crazy... Why are you messin with my mind?
Crazy... Why are you tellin' all these lies?
Crazy... U drive me Crazy
Crazy... `Cause all I want is to be free
Crazy
"None Of Your Business"
What's the matter with your life?
Why you gotta mess with mine?
Don't keep sweatin' what I do
Cuz I'm gonna be just fine - check it out
[CHORUS]
If I wanna take a guy home with me tonight
It's none of your business
And she wanna be a freak and sell it on the weekend
It's none of your business
Now you shouldn't even get into who I'm givin' skins to
It's none of your business
So don't try to change my mind, I'll tell you one more time
It's none of your business
Now who do you think you are
Puttin' your cheap two cents in?
Don't you got nothin' to do
Than worry 'bout my friends? Check it...
I can't do nothin', girl, without somebody buggin'
I used to think that it was me, but now I see it wasn't
They told me to change, they called me names, and so I popped one
Opinion's are like not a very nice persons and everybody's got one
I never put my nose where I'm not supposed to
Believe me, if he's something that I want, I'm steppin' closer
I'm not one for playing high-pole
Like the house of ditty 90210 type of the ho
I treat a man like he treats me
The difference between a hooker and a ho ain't nothin' but a fee
So hold your tongue tightly, wish you could be like me
You're poppin' all that mess only to stress and to spite me
Now you can get with that or you can get with this
But I don't give a nuts cuz really it's none of your business
(1993, S and P, packin' and mackin'
Bamboozlin' and smackin' suckers with this track
Throw the beat back in!)
[CHORUS]
How many rules am I to break before you understand
That your double-standards don't mean nuts to me?
I know exactly what you say when I turn and walk away
But that's ok cuz I don't let it get it to me
Now every move I make somebody's clockin'
Don't ask me nothin', will you just leave me alone?
Never mind who's the guy that I took home...to bone
Ok, Miss Thing never givin' up skins
If you don't like him or his friends what about that Benz?
Your Pep-Pep's got an ill rep
With all that macaroni trap for rap you better step
Or better yet get your head checked
Cuz I refuse to be played like a penny cent trick deck of cards
No, I ain't hard like the pregnant doges on a boulivard
My face ain't scarred, and I don't dance in bars
You can call me a tramp if you want to
But I remember the punk who just humped and dumped you
Or you can front if you have to
But everybody gets horny just like you
So, yo, so, yo, ho - check it, double deck it on a record butt-naked
Pep's ass gets respect, and this butt is none of your business
[CHORUS]
So the moral of this story is: Who are you to judge?
There's only one true judge, and that's God
So chill, and let my Father do His job
Cuz Salt and Pepa's got it swingin' again
Cuz Salt and Pepa's got it swingin' again
Cuz Salt and Pepa's got it swingin' again
Cuz Salt and Pepa's got it swingin' again...
"Lean On Me"
[Bono] Oooooohhh
[Intro:]
[Kirk]
This is for that little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
For that little boy living with AIDS
[R. Kelly] Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
[Kirk] You can lean on me
[R. Kelly]
There's a man (oh yes)
Standing on the corner
He has no home
He has no food
And his blue skies are gone (yes it is)
Can't you hear him cryin' out
[Crystal Lewis]
And there's a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walking away
Open up your heart and say
[Chorus:]
[Choir]
I am here
You don't have to worry
I can see...
[Kirk] I can see your tears
[Choir]
....your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call

[Kirk] halleluia
[Mary J. Blige] Ooooohhhhh
[Kirk] Listen
[Mary J. Blige]
Oh, there's a child
Who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother and
[Choir] As she hold (holds), his hand (hand)
[Bono] Prayin' that someday
The sun will shine again
[Kirk] And the pain?
[Choir] And the pain will end
[Kirk] Pain will end....Come on
[Choir] I am here

[Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Mary J. Blige] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Bridge:]
[R. Kelly]
Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I've never seen His face
[Bono] Yeah, I see you dying
[Crystal Lewis] And I turn and walk away
[Crystal] So hold my hand
[Mary J. Blige] Oooooohhhhh
[Bono] Let me take you to a friend of mine
[R. Kelly] He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
[Kirk] Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know
[Bono] 'Stead of walking away
[Kirk] Open up
[Crystal Lewis] Open up your heart and say
[Kirk] Come on
[Chorus:]
[Choir] I am here
[R. Kelly] I am here
[Choir]
You don't have to worry
I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
[Kirk] Alleluia
[Choir] Aaaaaaah
[Tamila Mann - Family] When you call, friends will be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall
[Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Dalon Collins - Family] Thank you Jesus, yeah
[R. Kelly] OhYeah, oh yeah
[Choir]
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Bono] You can lean on me
[R. Kelly] Lean on me, yeah, yeah
[Kirk] You're my friend but you're also my brother
[Bono] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
