I didn't grow up on this
Nah this is some new shit
I just take what I love
and I do how I do it
Probably next year I'll be doing funk music
but for now it's crunk bumping in your trunk music
Most cats are blind
While I see straight through it
I sit back in time and I tippi-tap I tap my toe to it
It's so fluid
It's so divine
It's music this lucid
partner of mine
She the mother of melody, I'm the father of Rhyme
She's Always ahead of me I'm not to far behind
We're peas in a pod, yeah two of a kind
and we're going to change the world
one heart at a time
Well she loves me unconditionally
Never gets jealous
She comes with me when I'm hanging with the fellers
they don't mind at all
in fact they love it when we call
She's the best company if she's bumping with me
and when it's time to fall
I know that she'll catch me
and my standards are tall
but I know that she match me
if my income is small
I know she'll still be there
like bills, rent and fares
but I know that she care
She's urging me to stressing. "Baby pull up a chair"
Teaching me the right lessons
You look and it's there
Truth, beauty, light is her essence I love her I swear
and I'm a carry her as long as I'm here
We fell in love in Melbourne over tears and wine
Now she goes through it with me like time after time
She is so smooth
So fluid
So divine
It's music this lucid partner of mine
She the mother of melody, I'm the father of Rhyme
She's Always ahead of me I'm not to far behind
We're peas in a pod, yeah two of a kind
and we're going to change the world
one heart at a time
All the wisdom fresh from the tongues of warriors
seem to ease the stress of these things that worry us
and the words of weight that make peace victorious
Expose what's fake and make kings of all of us
The melodies and lyrics that just stay on your mind
The goosebumps and shivers that they send up your spine
All the moments that we've been lost in the music
Lets get lost in the music
come get lost in the music
some on
Like time after time it's oh so divine
To all the MCs and musos, heroes of mine
devoting their time wholly in the moments they find
to shed some light on the situation we all facing
and the need to free your heart, in the dark
it aint so blatant
They for ever cleverly putting words together with melody
beats that carry me and the sweet sounds so heavenly
So thank you for the inspiration
I'm now able
I hope you hear the truth in my words
I'm so grateful
She the mother of melody, I'm the father of Rhyme
She's Always ahead of me I'm not to far behind
We're peas in a pod, yeah two of a kind
and we're going to change the world
one heart at a time
At a time
At a time
At a time
For all the moments that we've been lost in the music.....

Four Letter Word

He felt a click from the moment every thing fell in place
She had him sick from emotion so he asked her to stay
She said she'd like to get to know him but here heart's in a haze
It's going to keep her from loving till he's walking away
Cos at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
Cos at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
He felt a click from the moment every thing fell in place
She had him sick from emotion so he asked her to stay
She said she'd like to get to know him but here heart's in a haze
It's going to keep her from loving till he's walking away
Cos at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
Our hearts little games of hide and seek
oh for the day, the days that might have been
Show me the way, to let me in
She said I can't, I'm not ready
Cos at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
at the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and in the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
Now through the ups and the downs for you to know where I'm at
But it's the wrong time
To see your name on my phone with a message attached
But it's the wrong time
To be right here on stage and there you are at the back
But it's the wrong time
To be at home all alone with your hands on my back
But it's the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and it's the wrong place
love is nothing but another offensive four letter word
and it's the wrong time
Love is just a four letter word
and it's the wrong time, wrong place, wrong time
wrong place, wrong time, wrong place, wrong time
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

When Good Things Fall Apart
Well I know
I stumbled when your heart was ready
Well I fumbled in the dark my heart was ready
The pain of what had turned out not to be
Took my sight and made a blind man out of me
But you, you were always true from start
You took a spark and lit a fire in my heart
oh the pain when the good things fall apart
Still I'd do it all again
Only this time it will never end
How much Ioved you so
Couldn't find the words to say
We'll I should have let you know
But my thoughts they got in the way
Well I was lost out to sea
and my heart it was locked away
Maybe things would be different
If we'd met another day
but you, you were always true from start
You took a spark and lit a fire in my heart
Oh the pain when the good things fall apart
still I'd do it all again only this time it would never end
It's never gonna no it's never gonna end
when the good things fall apart
still I'd do it all again only this time it would never end
It's never gonna no it's never gonna end
It's never gonna no it's never gonna end

Baby Move
I'd like to buy you a drink if thats alright with you
and there is a party that I'd like to invite you to
I bearly know you but its funny what a smile can do
You've got me high now I'm floating at an altitude
She said "Big head musicians
Always acting like there is something to prove
You probably think you'd have you pick at any girl in the room"
Now hey honey there is no need to be rude
It's kinda sexy though I like you with an attitude
she had them big lips puckered up sipping gin and juice
you could tell that she's wild not afraid of getting loose
with that black dress on and the matching shoes
and those eyes so bright that they light up the room
The call me gnostix baby I'm just tryin to introduce
I'm a little off center and animated like Doctor Seuss
You feel for real?
I new I had a chance time to seal the deal
So I slid her to the dance floor
I said I slid her to the dance floor
and like that baby move
Hips back and forth like a pendulum
no question on who shes bending them to
Baby Move
Fellas listen it's an ode to women
somehow she rode the rhythm and then sat in the groove
And we'd have danced for days if she hadn't of stopped me
cos honestly it's like a hip hop clip in front of me
the way she moved her body
like dance floor pornography
a voodoo girl, I think she's got a hold of me
she said "You can look, but don't even think about touching
not untill you buy me that drink
the look n her eyes nearly had me on the brink
so did I buy her supplies
well, what do you think?
Bar tender we'll have a gin and juice
and I'm on the beer so we'll have another coopers
We wen't out the back and had a chat for a bit
we shared numbers stories jokes and a cigarette
Before long we wee back on the floor though
the way that she swayed was hypnotic and I wanted some more
So move baby, thats it contort your tor-
-so smooth how you move on the dance floor
move
Hips back and forth like a pendulum
no question on who shes bending them to
Baby Move
Fellas listen it's an ode to women
somehow she rode the rhythm and then sat in the groove
Ola bonita seniorita como estas
so nice to meet you
Damb baby girl how you move like that
in that little white skirt that makes your ass look phat
Like wooop I could make moves with that
if you give me half a chance I'm a smooth ass cat
You can ask my band man thats a fact
plus I'm humble to
I'll have fun with you
So come on dance with me baby show me what you can do
I seen you looking, I've been watching you too
Maybe we can find out if what they say is true
If your hot on the dance floor then your hot in the beadroom
move
Hips back and forth like a pendulum
no question on who shes bending them to
Baby Move
Fellas listen it's an ode to women
somehow she rode the rhythm and then sat in the groove

Papa's Blues
Hotel room tring to get through to ou
Sitting in a hotel room, trying to get through to you
How come whenever I call you number
You've got something better to do
Phone booth baby, i find you number on the wall
sitting in a phone booth baby, find you number on the wall
how come when ever i call that number
I get no answer back at all
Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
i said, Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
I said, your hairs all tangled baby you ain't walkin right.
Hotel room tring to get through to ou

I get no answer back at all
Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
