My spirit is stroke, stroke. My spirit' like old folk. My spirit won't never be broke. The most high won't favor those who destroy to show the power they're wielding. But rather, those who can Prove strength through what they're building. Look to the sky. He will rise high! I'm the first to say that I know less than I don't know (amen) But I know if you don't water a seed then it won't grow Inspire just one son to do something that's undone. The world will have just won at your daughter's inauguration (well done) The most high won't favor those who destroy to show the power they're wielding. But rather, those who can Prove strength through what they're building. Look to the sky. He will rise high!

Guess they come around 'cause they like what we do, that must be why. But all I wanna do right now is make way for the DeeJay. Hey, don't get me wrong, I know what I got. I'm a lucky guy.

He won't let this slip away. Not like all the rest. To make this day an even brighter night, will put his wit to test. He won't call you. You can call him…Slick Words alone can make this sell. A smooth baritone won't work. But watch him close and maybe you can tell his smile's become a smirk. He won't call you. You can call him Slick Texter. You'll never hear from him a nervous laugh. Unless it's his goal, he'll never awkwardly pause. The skill of a poet, he will have. To create a mood with a few well placed words because… He won't call you. You can call him Slick Texter. Slick Texter. He'll try to convince you that he needs to stay in touch. But he'll probably drop some hints too that he might leave if you talk too much. He won't call you. You can call him Slick Texter. Slick Texter. He won't call you. You can call him Slick Texter. Slick Texter.

Live your life like there's no tomorrow night Yesterday's gone like stars in the daylight. Be a travelin' man, over sea and sand When you get back what's in hand? A pretty girl can't lose your mind And pretty sure it's yours to find She appears - voila'. Que sera', sera'. In the end, you'll say aur voir, aloha. But now you're hurried and worried You broke another vow. You're getting older, Looking over your shoulder now… Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Who's chasin' you? Keep on running fast as you can That man back there ain't no fan Look before you leap. Bones your charm won't keep. That hole is too dark, too deep. And now you're hurried and worried You broke another vow. You're getting older, Looking over your shoulder now… Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Who's chasin' you? Feels like you're never gonna get caught Still somehow you never get away. Like paying the I.R.S. with an I.O.U. Someday it'll all come to a halt They'll catch you and they're gonna make you pay. Handwritten check, dated and signed by Y.O.U. Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Is it the father, the brother or the boyfriend Who's chasin' you?

M'bula! M'bule! Mbakuna se amo M'bula! Mbule! Mbakuna se

I'll order one more 'round I'll play one more 'round If you catch me messin' round Blame it on the Springs My mind won't be sound My sleep won't be sound If you catch me making sound Blame it on the Springs

Billions and billions of them Come on Carl, say it again I don't know how we fit in All I see is how we've been livin' It ain't right from where I'm standing Too much space between us and them Somehow we are all cousins We need a family reunion Everybody, everywhere wouldn't it be great If we could get together before it's too late We don't know who out there might be on there way Let's show 'em how we party and make 'em want to stay We don't know who might be comin' Some folks just like party crashin' How can we welcome them? Even you and I still have problems Everybody, everywhere wouldn't it be great If we could get together before it's too late We don't know who out there might be on there way Let's show 'em how we party and make 'em want to stay Wanna stay. Oh, wanna stay. Wanna stay right here. Wanna stay. Oh, wanna stay. Wanna stay right here. Make them wanna stay, Lightner. Wanna stay right here. Everybody, everywhere wouldn't it be great If we could get together before it's too late We don't know who out there might be on there way Let's show 'em how we party and make 'em want to stay Antibodies and antitrust Trust anybody when you know you must. I said black lives matter; What's the matter with that? That's my gray matter talkin' as a matter of fact. Everybody, everywhere I'm having a celebration All a' y'all are welcome; I won't turn you away Gonna show you how I party before I let you stay

Get so upset by the things that I hear From lands afar and from people dear It seems so unclear But we really know the truth The machine at work seems unbreakably huge Built and run to feed Mr. Scrooge I gotta find some refuge Then come back fighting nail and tooth So I pick up my girl We hear our favorite song and turn up the radio 'cause it ain't no good being a travelin' man, Unless your lady goes I always feel better when I'm knocking roots Can't think of no better way to clear my blues Bump, rewind, bump it again and I feel alright Knocking roots all day and all night With processed hair and processed food all around It's no wonder cures can't be found Help me shout it out loud We gotta get back to our roots!! Lay down a blanket somewhere way out of town Where we can share with only nature around Break it all the way down We got to be in cahoots So it's just you and me And our favorite song bumpin' on the radio 'cause it ain't too cool being a righteous man Unless your lady knows I always feel better when I'm knocking roots Can't think of no better way to clear my blues Bump, rewind, bump it again and I feel alright Knocking roots all day and all night Music gives me a feeling Your love brings me a healing That makes me so strong Like I can take anything on!!!
