Tus Besos lyrics
Un beso me... Dos besos me... Tres besos me dan la idea. Seis besos y... Diez besos y... Mas besos y ya me alteran. Mas besos me... Mas besos me... Mas besos me vuelven loca. Tus besos me... Tus besos me... Tus besos me llenan y Por fin El amor Me envolvi? En tus brazos me rend? Y sin pensar Comprend? En tus labios me perd? ?o me encontr?? No lo se, Lo que se es que este amor Entre tu y yo Me hace vibrar Y ahora

I do it for the people, I do it for the love
I do it for the poet, I do it for the thug
This is for victory, and this is for the slaughter
I do it for my mother, I do it for my daughter
Promise I'll always love ya, I love to kiss and hug ya
You and your brother should be lookin out for one another
I'm so blessed, man, y'all the reason I got up
Somebody put his hands on you I'm gettin locked up
I'm not playin, that's the prayer I'm sayin for Diani
And if I die then she'll be protected by Amani
That's her bigger brother and I love the way he love her
She a girly-girl, she love to imitate her mother
But she a Gemini, so stay on her friendly side
She'll put that look on you, it's like somebody' friend just died
My pretty black princess smell sweet like that inc

That you buy at the bookstore supporting black business
Teach her what black is; the fact is her parents are thorough
She four reading Cornrows by Camille Yarborough
I keep her hair braided, bought her a black Barbie
I keep her mind free; she ain't no black zombie
This is for Aisha, this is for Kashera
This is for Khadijah scared to look up in the mirror
I see the picture clearer thru the stain on the frame
She got a black girl name, she livin black girl pain
This is for Makeba, and for my mamacita
What's really good, ma? I'll be your promise-keeper
I see the picture clearer thru the stain on the frame
She got a black girl name, she livin black girl pain

My mama said life would be so hard
Growin up days as a black girl scarred
In so many ways though we've come so far
They just know the name
Under And Over The Brink lyrics
On the brink of complying I'm very slow And I say to myself: "Oh no, don't go Well I like you the way you are So please don't change Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?" So today it starts and tomorrow it ends I lost my soul and I lost my friends So today it ends and tomorrow it starts The brooding of a million hearts Music's the way, the only way I know
they don't know the painOn the brink of complying I'm very slow And I say to myself: "Oh no, don't go Well I like you the way you are So please don't change Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?" So today it starts and tomorrow it ends I lost my soul and I lost my friends So today it ends and tomorrow it starts The brooding of a million hearts Music's the way, the only way I know
So please hold your heads up high
Don't be ashamed of yourself know I
Will carry it forth til the day I die
They just know the name they don't know the pain black girl

This is for Beatrice Bertha Benjamin who gave birth to
Tsidi Azeeda for Lavender Hill for Kyalisha
ALTHLONE, Mitchells Plain, Swazi girls I'm reppin for thee
Mannesburg, Guguletu where you'd just be blessed to get thru
For beauty shinin thru like the sun at the highest noon
From the top of the cable car at Table Mountain; I am you
Girls with the skyest blue of eyes and the darkest skin
For Cape Colored allied for realizing we're African
For all my cousins back home, the strength of mommy's backbone
The length of which she went for raising, sacrificing her own
The pain of not reflecting the range of our comple
The Fame lyrics
Breaks like glass But not in your hand They'll shoot you down Right where you stand And it don't care for what you wear Or which way you might sway It calls you up But not on the phone And they will drag you from your throne And you may laugh while you sit there Sipping your champagne And they all laugh at your despair Sniffing your cocaine I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
ionsBreaks like glass But not in your hand They'll shoot you down Right where you stand And it don't care for what you wear Or which way you might sway It calls you up But not on the phone And they will drag you from your throne And you may laugh while you sit there Sipping your champagne And they all laugh at your despair Sniffing your cocaine I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
For rubber pellet scars on Auntie Elna's back I march
Fist raised caramel shinin in all our glory
For Mauritius, St, Helena; my blood is a million stories
Winnie for Joan and for Edie, for Norma, Leslie, Ndidi
For Auntie Betty, for Melanie; all the same family
Fiona, Jo Burg, complex of mixed girls
For surviving thru every lie they put into us now
The world is yours and I swear I will stand focused
Black girls, raise up your hands; the world should clap for us
[Hook]
My mama said life would be so hard
Growin up days as a black girl scarred
In so many ways though we've come so far
They just know the name they don't know the pain
So please hold your heads up high
Don't be ashamed of yourself know I
Will carry it forth til the day I die
They just know the name they don't know the pain black girl
