Throw a fit
The preacher man talking revelation
Boss is breathing down my neck
Anxiety creeps up and down my spine
Everytime I'm stuck in traffic
Can't be late for work this morning
Can't get fired or quit

I'm bout to throw a fit, throw a fit
Toss my hands up and quit
About to throw a fit ya, I'm about to throw a fit
You see I tried to find some faith to hold on to
Tryna keep a smile on my face
Cuz I aint winning livin the way that I use to
Tryna be a better man everyday
But no matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to get over it
Seems like the world is getting colder, and I'm just getting older

Throw a fit
Toss my hands up and quit
About to throw a fit yeah, Im about to throw a fit
So take me I'm ready for the rapture

|

Have you ever partied down on old Beale Street
Everybody's walkin to a grooved out beat
The man on the corner make ya pat your feet
To that funky funky rhythm of ol Beale Street
Guitars screamin outta B.B. Kings
Bass is boomin out of Rum Boogie
If you get lost lets try to meet a the statue of W.C. Handy
Beale Street the shadows they know your name
Back alley Beale Street you'll never be the same again
Eww wee Back Alley Beale Street
A full moon on a Friday night
leavin Rafford's bout a quarter to 5
When somethin in my head says man its time to get high
What's going down my brother can I get a 20 sack from you
He said I'll be right back partna
But when I saw him he tried to jack me up with his friend
Back alley Beale Street the shadows they know your name
Back alley Beale Street you never be the same again
Eww wee Back Alley Beale Street
The shadows shadows shadows know your name
And aint everybody playin the same game
Some people cheat, some people lie, some people try to get by on the sly
Cuz back alley Beale Street is fill with skid row junkies aint afraid to die
I know, I know, I know, I know you wanna go
But I dont think, dont think, dont think, dont think its a smart move
I know, I know, I know, I know you wanna go
But I dont think, dont think its a smart move Beale Street!

Typical Feeling
04:12
|
|||
Its not a typical feelin
Tell me whats goin on
Its like the world is on fire
But an ice age has come
No one's left to be trusted, but everyone's safe to blame
It's in the eye of the beholder
Thats what the skeptics all say
But if you lie to yourself
You'll believe no one else
It's just a faction of faith
Everyone can relate
Im not that different from you and you know this is true
We all need someone to hold onto
Trust in the test of time
Cuz its only yours to waste
Between rhythm and rhyme
You will find your place
But its not a typical feelin
So dont try to play it safe
You've got the world on your shoulders and its yours to save
But if you lie to yourself
You'll believe no one else
It's just a faction of faith
Everyone can relate
Im not that different from you and you know this is true
We all need someone to hold onto
To hold onto.... to hold onto
Can I hold onto you...can I hold onto you...can I hold onto you
Oooo Oooo Oooo ooooooo

Pushin' Forward
02:54
|
|||
They say idle time will lead to petty crime
A man shouldn't sit around just waitin on fate
Because your destiny is not a resolution
There's no guarantee tomorrow will come your way
Times are tough for you and me my brotha
Gotta wake up every morning to get that pay
Cuz you know you can't deny, if you never even try
There's nobody else but yourself to blame
You gotta keep on pushin forward
Take one step at a time
You gotta keep on pushin forward
And never lookin behind
Try your best to stay out of the system
It's a revolving door that gets a hold of you
Late fees and court fines equals doing hard time
No matter what you do you're bound to lose
I know it's hard to run the straight and narrow
Temptation is one thing I can't resist
Listen close I'm really trying to warn you
And if you take heed you'll surely pass the test
But you gotta keep on pushin forward
Take one step at a time
You better keep on pushin forward
And never lookin behind
Just keep on pushin forward
You gotta keep on pushin forward
Take one step at a time
You gotta keep on pushin forward
And never lookin behind, never lookin behind, never lookin behind

Once in a Lifetime
04:24
|
|||
I just need a little more room to get me through these days
Can I have just a little more room to justify my way
I just need a little more room then I'd know that I could stay
Between these lines that the good Lord gave to me
So just one more kiss and I'll consider this to be a once in lifetime thang
For you and me...
Just one more kiss and I'll consider this to be a once in a lifetime thang
For you and me....for you and me....for you and me
Girl fill this hole that's growin in my soul
But don't you be biased, you gotta let us try this
Apart from each other but we're so close together
I'm gonna love you for ever and ever and ever
So just one more kiss and I'll consider this to be a once in lifetime thang
For you and me...
Just one more kiss and I'll consider this to be a once in a lifetime thang
For you and me....for you and me....for you and me

Livin on the outside but lookin on the inside
Observin every part of my life the best of both sides
I've got a photographic memory, but a short term memory
Through the minds eye I see things how they're supposed to be
Makin pimp decisions, pimp decisions, makin pimp decisions, pimp decisions yeah
Everyday is like a contest survival of the fittest
Ewww need I say somemore we're gettin ready for the 3rd world war
Thin skin and fragile flesh, you gotta realize son you are bless
But your face is filled with fear and contempt
The shit aint even hit the fan just yet
Now listen to me people
By pimp decisions I dont mean slappin ho's and slammin Cadillac doh's
Naw!
By pimp decisions I mean makin the right choices for you, you and only you
You gotta trust in your star playah sometimes you know what I'm sayin
Believe in yourself and everything else will fall into place
You got to got to got to make Pimp Decisions
Pimp Decisions, Pimp Decisions, Pimp Decisions

I've been beat up and I've been pushed around
Left for dead and set out to drown
But here I'm standin Im not complaining
Because I've got both feet back on the ground
You see I'm standin up back on solid ground
aint got no time to be down and out
Im standin up back on solid ground
Aint got no toime to be foolin around no
Growin up way down in the south
I worked hard to make my mama proud
But I ended up goin half a stray
And I'm glad that I am here today to say
I'm standin up back on solid ground
aint got no time to be down and out
Im standin up back on solid ground
Aint got no toime to be foolin around no
Standin...standin...I'm still standin...said I'm standin
I'm standin up back on solid ground
aint got no time to be down and out
Im standin up back on solid ground
Aint got no toime to be foolin around no
