Estelle Album

They say that everything you go through in life
It's what you become
If thats the case yeah
I'm becoming number 1
Listen
It's Estelle
Yo yo

I grew up in tha 1980s
In a four bedroom house my family, my grandma, three or four auntys
Uncles and brothers in and out of prison daily
Certain times when there was no heat you stay under covers
There was life like you never seen
Daddy taking extra people in
Come dinner time it was tippin 18
Boiling a big pot of water on the stove take a bath
Rub my face in olive oil, all my mates used to laugh
Now cousins moved out and we all got divided
Started to get older I soon got providing
I've seen fifty pound last for three months solid
I got my first pair of Nikes we were still eating porridge
Me and my cousin used to play Mel and Kim practisin dancin
Coming down tha stairs in tea
I touched Africa and came back darker
Knowin myself
Feelin my roots a little bit harder

(Chorus) x2
1980 year that God made me
'89 start to get mine
By '99 startin to write ryhmes come
Walk with me reminisce on my life x2

See then we moved up
Thought I was tha Fresh Prince
Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded
With three best and timeless six kids still
We got a dog and yes that dog's loves to shit but
My brother got his first pair of LA Gear
He thought it went to take pictures of his Delawear what?
We started hanging out my jeans got tighter
My weird neighbours set their own house on fire
Church was, all day every day and every week
Thats where I learnt how to sing hearing that master preach
Benidiction was all we went for
So we could run home and play Connect 4
Mum worked late and we learnt to cook
Stars and lemon stew pea soup
In tha room watching kung fu films and Cleopatra joints
Wishing we were Cosby kids and Matchstick girls

(Chorus) x2

Tha man downstairs was dead for three weeks
His own cat started eating him, house starts to reek
Thats when we moved out and our house was bigger
We had a large garage and the attic was killer
We used to pray for three hours in the morning
Sittin on tha schoolbus believe we was yawnin
All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads
Jam and spick two rugs and pink curls yes
Sexy boys walking round showing interest
In what i dont know cause we all had flat chests
Don't think we never mastered tha gettin play steps
Doin what for days in the bobu yep
But this is just tha beginning of my life right
19 kids a house and one lifetime
Yo, tha beginning of my life right
19 kids a house and one lifetime

(Chorus) Fading

[No lyrics]

Verse 1:
Yes Estelle here like you never ever seen before
Oh it's real believe I always leave you wanting more
No, it's really not a game you think I'm playing your
Paid my dues and now I'm 'bout to brake it down for y'all

Chorus:
I don't want to see you sitting down when the beat drops, now
What you doin' leaning on the wall like you ain't hear a sound
If you know what you're working with let me hear your hips start bounce

Let me see you bounce to this
And just rock to this
And go

(Dance bitch)
Just shake it on the floor
Don't stop back it up
Shake a little more
(Dance bitch)
Don't stop now
Throw your hands in the air
Get a little wild with it
(Dance bitch)
Let me see you move your thighs when you sway to the beat
Yeah I know you feel it right
Come on
(Dance bitch)
Come on and get it real hot
When you listen to the hook
And you're waiting for the beat drop

Verse 2:
Listen,
I only hung around with bitches
Chicks wanna pose like they're waiting on a picture
Huh, see that base slide under me
When I hear that
See me start rockin it
Yuh, I don't give a f**k about your bling
I'm 'ma shut this shit down like a policing team
Yuh, you see my full moon rising
Gone for nights and days like this note book I write in
Chyup, let me help you with that stress
See you watching tell why you're battering those steps an,
When you're up in the club or raving in your yard
I can see your head bouncing
Pity you're ugly
Natural, buck teeth
Put your drink down and get down on this up beat
Yeah, if you hear this beat swif
From my town to your town
(Dance bitch)


I don't want to see you sitting down when the beat drops, now
What you doin' leaning on the wall like you ain't hear a sound
If you know what you're working with let me hear your hips start bounce

Let me see you bounce to this
And just rock to this
And go

(Dance bitch)
Just shake it on the floor
Don't stop back it up
Shake a little more
(Dance bitch)
Don't stop now
Throw your hands in the air
Get a little wild with it
(Dance bitch)
Let me see you move your thighs when you sway to the beat
Yeah I know you feel it right
Come on
(Dance bitch)
Come on and get it real hot
When you listen to the hook
And you're waiting for the beat drop

I don't want to see you sitting down when the beat drops, now
I don't want to see you sitting down when the beat drops, now
(Dance bitch) x 8

I feel like, somethin' different,

But there's always someone
who's gotta say somethin' stupid,

I see you watching me,
(I see you watchin')
and i know your looking deep in my face
(all in my face)
I just can't wait, can't wait to be found
but i aint going out no way
you see me rising higher
(higher)
and you try to put some news in my way
but i'm bigger and stronger,
guess I'll go faster,
and you'll never gonna get in my way-ay-ay

[Chorus]
So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh,

So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh, ahhh uh-uh

Nothin' u say means nothin' to me,
(Nothin' to me)
and I'm still gonna be where i wanna be,
If i don't hear of it (Of it)
never say I'm sorry (Sorry)
and I'm never gonna change for you-ou-ou-ou
All i know is i do my best
(I do my best)
and the best as far as i can see
see God gave me honours, and he made me who i am,
and the best is good enough for me-ee-ee-ee-ee

[Chorus]
So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh,
ahhh uh-uh ahhh uh-uh
So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh, ahhh uh-uh

(Nothin' to say)

(You shouldn't hate)
shouldn't hate stuff puttin' out that negative energy
bring back the love

(Nothin' to say)

(keep it shut)
keep it shut
(You shouldn't hate)
You shouldn't hate .....

[Chorus]
So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh,

So..
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh, ahhh uh-uh

Uh! Well! Yo!

Cos we only get one life, and then it's gone for good,
and your the only one who seems to be stopping you,

This is a dog eat dog world
but it belongs to the man,
but it's not without the love
of a woman's understanding
hurting ourselves for no reason that you have,
was already yours, anyway,
If you see somebody i want you to smile instead of frown,
just because they look angry
don't mean they wanna beat you down,
and it, don't cost you nothing
but you pay for a gun,
kill our sisters and sons,
people we need to be.......

Free!

Said we're Free, to live and love again
to your mum or your sister, brother or friend,

come get your Free, come get your Free-dom,
For all people!

Haaa ohhhh

[Chorus]
I wanna love you,
I wanna hold you,
I wanna kiss you,
I wanna hug you [x2]

Well i get these gaps in time
Where i've been spacin you on my mind
... you make me feel so fly,
... singin me lullaby's
I like how bad it seems so wrong
To feel this weighing it feels so strong
You better sing me a lullaby
So baby come on come one

[Chorus X2]

You come over and you kiss my face (you kiss my face)
Felt like i want you more without saying a thing ??
Memorizing this moment believe i la la la la la
You took my hands you kiss my lips
Im thinking this is it

[Chorus continues till end]

[-John Legend]
Hey girl I Love you so and
It's so sad that we can't even talk no, we can't even no more
Hey Girl, I'm so sad today.
And my life just drifted away.
[Can this be real girl, Can this be so
Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more.]
[-Estelle]
Uh huh, listen yo
We can't talk no more blood
'Cause you never ever really understood blood.
My heart was open but you stepped right on,
You never thought that I was up for being number one. Yep
How long I know you, we kept in touch through college.
Never the type to give you brain I'm giving you knowledge.
We be like old school,
I seen you fucking with some other birds. Yep
I let you roll right through.
Gave my soul to another home dude,
But you're calling me telling me your problems
And I was going through my own kind of problems
But [?] you took a piss like you were care […?]
Yup I had that there.
And now you're shocked when you see me
Wishing we were cool to talk wanting you to see me
Working out your numbers to call me, come and see
But you aint real enough to see me, I'm making it clear babe.
[-John Legend]
Hey girl I Love you so and
It's so sad that we can't even talk no, we can't even no more
Hey Girl, I'm so sad today.
And my life just drifted away.
[Can this be real girl, Can this be so
Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more.]
[-Baby Blue]
I always knew you were the one to play the parts then
And now I see I should have kept you at arm's length
I thought you changed from the past and then you make me waste my time.
[…………………………………………..?]
Obviously, I got you wrong from the start
I should have never let it get that far
I can't deal with your attitude
Erase my number from your phone; I've had it with you
And it's so classic that you want to blame the whole situation on me
Now let's see, I aint saying I was perfect
But you played your little games
Was it worth it?
And everything that I did you deserved it
And these days I hardly walk out the door 'cause you blow everything
Out of proportion
I'm not surprised we don't talk any more 'cause you just played with my mind
But it's all good.
[-John Legend]
Hey girl I Love you so and
I'm so sad that we can't even talk no, we can't even no more
Hey Girl, I'm so sad today.
And my life just drifted away.
[Can this be real girl, Can this be so
Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more.]

(feat. Royston)

[Estelle: Speaking]
So I'm in love and I keep telling this guy and it's like he thinks I'm jokin every single time I tell him it's like
"Alright, OK. I love you to yea OK" and sometimes you know when you don't know what to do and your heart is just exploding and you look at them and it's just like
So I sing it like:
Wake me up in the morning with a kiss and make me some breakfast
And in the evening a candlelight dinner
Or when I feel restless
Give me a soft massage and my neck starts to tingle
Even when we didn't have anything you still made me feel like your queen
Now crystal and their glass is clean
Sleeping on on the floor,
You know what I mean
And I love you because you hold me down
When the world thinks I'm brave you see my frown
I love to be loved like this and I love and I love your kiss
So thankful
Yeah this is all I was trying to say to you:

You make me fall in love again
And I am so glad you chose me yeah
You make me fall in love again
All over and over again

[Royston:]
Your like my angel
Perfect for me, that's all I ever wanted you to be
Understand when you said that you loved me
What kind of man would I be if I told you I loved you constantly
You probably wouldn't believe me because your frontin like you don't even need me
Still I just wanted to tell, wanted to tell
You are my wife, my lover, my sister,
I'm your brother I feel you
I just wanted to tell you

[Both:]
You make me fall in love again
And I am so glad you chose me yeah
You make me fall in love again
All over and over again

[Estelle:]
Lovin you is like the song that I am singing
Like the snow and the stars and the sun and the conditions
Take it lots like the northern lights
Seeing you bounce my heart like the candle lights
I feel different didn't think this was me
I'm seeing wisdom, didn't think that this could be
I wanna kiss him got me being super girly
Head swirilng all because the love ain't hurtin
Thinking he was worth it

[Both:]
You make me fall in love again
And I am so glad you chose me yeah
You make me fall in love again
All over and over again

[Repeat to fade]

Ok, Listen,
It's old skool, this is love, y'all,
(yeah)

Ok Ladies,
Y'know you got a man,
And you're feeling in love with him right now,
I want you to hold him real tight, like,
Put one hand round his waist,
And one hand in his hand,
And step to the left,
Step to the right...

You showed me how to love...
You showed me how to be, a part of you,
Somethin' about your touch,
Yeah babe I feel brand new,
And when I'm angry...
(Angry...)
And when I'm feeling bad,
(Feeling bad)
LyricsWhen I can't even speak
(When I can't even speak)
You just hold my hand,
I don't know where I'd be,
If you weren't next to me,

[Chorus:]
Hold me in your arms,
And dance with me tonight,
Please don't feel the way,
To show me what you like,
You got what I want,
You got what I need,
Oh baby (Baby)
I love you (I love you)
Lovin' me...

Listen... oh...

You make me feel so real,
(make me feel so real)
Understand every deal, and every chill
(chill)
Baby like it's candlelight,
And it feels super extra special,
(Ooohh...)

And when I need you
(when I need you)
Yes you're always there
(you're always there)
Two steps away,
(two steps away)
And now I got you there (got you there)
This is our time,
All the time in the world,
Baby... by... by

[Chorus]

Listen to me now...
Love don't let me down,
Don't (now)
You're here (You're here)
Please stay...
All we have is this, so please,
Don't take the night away,..
