first song ... Nas Ft. Chrisette Michele - Can't Forget About You
歌詞
There comes a day in your life
When you wanna kick back
Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps
Wanna gather your thoughts have a cold one, brag
To your grandkids on how life is golden
So I'ma light a cigar in the corridor of the crib
Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did
All the money and fame, eight by tens of the whole Brat Pack inside of a big frame
Collidin' with big names that could've made your career stop
All that, and your man is still here and I'm still hot
Wow, I need a moment ya'll, see I almost felt a tear drop
CHORUS
(Nas)
When was the last time you heard a real anthem?
Nas, The Millionaire, The Mansion?
When was the last time you heard your boy, Nas, rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time
(Chrisette Michele)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
Oh, I'm that history, I'm that block
I'm that lifestyle, I'm that spot
I'm that kid by the numbered spot
That's my past that made me hot
Here's my lifelong anthem... Can't forget about you
2nd VERSE (Nas)
Can't forget about the old school
Bam, Caz, Melly Mel, Flash
Rock Steady spinnin' on they back
Can't forget when the first rap Grammy went to Jazzy
Fresh Prince, Fat Boyz broke up
Rap hasn't been the same since
So irregular, how it mess you up when Mr. T became a wrestler
Can't forget about Jordan's retirement
The shot Robert Horry hit to win the game in the finals, kid
Some things are forever, some things are not
It's the things we remember that gave the world shock
They stay in a place in your mind so snug
Like who the person was with whom you first made love
CHORUS
(Nas)
When was the last time you heard a real anthem?
Nas, The Millionaire, The Mansion?
When was the last time you heard your boy, Nas, rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time
(Chrisette Michele)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
Oh, I'm that history, I'm that block
I'm that lifestyle, I'm that spot
I'm that kid by the numbered spot
That's my past that made me hot
Here's my lifelong anthem... Can't forget about you
3rd VERSE (Nas)
Unforgettable, unsubmittable
I go by "N" now, just one syllable
It's the "N" 'cuz the game's tired, it's the same vibe
Good Times had right after James died
That's why the gangster rhymers ain't inspired
Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines
And I don't wanna keep bringin' up the greater times
But I'm a dreamer, nostalgic with the state of mind
The past the past, enough of it, 'aight then
But nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson
Or Mike when his talk was live
Or when he first did the moonwalk on Motown 25
CHORUS
(Nas)
When was the last time you heard a real anthem?
Nas, The Millionaire, The Mansion?
When was the last time you heard your boy, Nas, rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time
(Chrisette Michele)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This 'hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly, this is what made me)
Break me (not a thing's gonna break me)
Oh, I'm that history, I'm that block
I'm that lifestyle, I'm that spot
I'm that kid by the numbered spot
That's my past that made me hot
Here's my lifelong anthem... Can't forget about you
OUTRO (Nat King Cole)
That's why darling
It's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable... too
second song ... Chrisette Michele - Epiphany
歌詞
It's Over
Over
It’s over
Over.
[Verse 1:]
Second night in a row
You didn't come home
I'm watching my phone
Waiting for it to ring, ring, ring
Sitting in the house on the couch with the TV on (on)
All night all alone (alone)
Every time same old thing, thing, thing
[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend (girlfriend)
I'm leaving (leaving), I'm leaving
No more wonderin what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
(it’s over)
I'm leaving
(yea e yeah)
[Verse 2:]
So you walk in
(you walk in)
The next morning
(the next morning)
To find me smiling,
Like nothing ever happened
You give me some excuse
(some excuse)
Like you always do
(like you always do)
I just kiss your cheek
And this is what I tell you, you, you
[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend ( your girlfriend)
I'm leaving, (I’m leaveing) I'm leaving
No more wonderin what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
(It’s over)
I'm leaving
(yea e yeah)
[Bridge:]
How many times did I fall for your lies
How many times did I sit home and cry
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
It just came to me
Like an epiphany
How about I just leave-e-e-e
[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend (girlfriend)
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No more wonderin what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
(it’s over)
I'm leaving
(yea e yeah)
(repeat)
