Songstress...huh...yea

I'm gonna take you on a ride to a lyrical expedition
In vision, imagine this, i be wishin that everybody would listen
Kissing ass until i was able to step into the arena,
Make an impression and lesson and discovering
I out-smarted mathmaticans, blazed through expeditions,
Thru conditions not envisioned by those who pass predictions
In addition got a mission, a vision, if you would listen
Produce collaboration increasing complications

You understand how my Floetry got you bubblin'(uh)
I see you wonderin why you hear my name again (uh)
Never the same again, yes we came to win again
And if we fail again then love will conquer pain again
Just take a breath and continue the explanation
Turn off the playstation, still in my attention
Did i mention poetic extention - my redemption
Soul is in suspension at the realisation.
With poor libation for ethnic formation
Empower this position... more come to listen
[yo F-L-O-E-T-R-Y get it?] Floetry is like a master of chemistry
turn your negativity into kinetic energy

You can't test we
No no you can't test we...see?
Subtracting abstract messages from within that's what i'm giving
That's what i'm giving
That's what i'm giving(x2)

. . .

[Chorus:]
It's better that it hurts, it's better that it feels this way to
me
I can't be too comfortable cause loving you is not my destiny

Said I'm concerned that I feel this pain my heart is aching,
breaking, pain staking in this gambling thing this ain't no
parallel universe parallel life you choose to in one your living
like love of my life and in the other your the daddy of
theirs so I play Russian Roulette and put this phone to my ear
just to say, yo this is Ms. Stress

It's better that it hurts, it's better that it feels this way to
me
I can't be too comfortable cause loving you is not my destiny

See too much asked of me through his lips so I attempted to be
all that dreams suggest to the ego and promise the soul
I tried to be all he had ever told of the interchangable face
and physicality and mentality of she as closely ?? he
summoned all my tears abandoned we
I lived alone for years No longer knowing who exactly is Me as I
began the punishment for his perfection
My vision nearly lost the direction my return to innocence was
lost and his ID you see I forgot instead I saw protection
through judgment now angels and devils look alike to me
sometimes quiet sounds like lonely to me

My Angel I stopped breathing for you If my life was possible
without end to be sure if love I'm needing more than just a
casual affair But the pain runs deep internally But clearly seen
when your not there

[Chorus (2x's)]

Yo, Yo, Yo It ain't my time to die right now
You to I means death of my heart my visions my dreams

. . .



Fun
Ummm.
Hold on 1 minute
Fun

Hello, Hi yeah it's me.
Yeah look I'm going 2 b home again late OK, alright yeah bye-bye.
This isn't my idea of fun
Say I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all at all at all at all at all

Love is meant 2 b so beautiful
Unconditional has it downs as well as highs
So Wonderful
Am I supposed to be amazed
Or is this compulsory
I know love to well
My mind drifts alone
You never comes with me.
This isn't my idea of fun
Oh No

This isn't my idea of fun
Say I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all at all at all at all at all

I try to do this us/we
But this must be yeah a funny kinda of happy
Because lately I find me lacking in stories and yearning
of wanting to be home and in your presence again
I find myself staying or just out delaying.
I'm tired of this lying all this false smiling
We're just prolonging and faith avoiding
I'm not the one yall.
This aint fun naw.

This isn't my idea of fun
Say I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all at all at all at all at all

I had a complex for compliments for offering, for nice comments
For interest
Yeah for attention
In fact paranoia became an indiction
I tried to show affection in so many ways.
I'm gazing into eyes and with overnight stays
I'm cooking nice meals
Phone calls in the days
This aint my way
This aint fun.
Where's the fun gone?

Love is meant 2 b so beautiful
Unconditional has it downs as well as highs
So Wonderful
Am I supposed to be amazed
Or is this compulsory
I know love to well
My mind drifts alone
And when I go away.
you never comes with me.
This isn't my idea of fun
Oh No

I'm not this one
I'm not going to be the one.

(Floesist)
You know sometimes we um we dont recognize our dreams inside our
realities, and other times were not aware of exactly whats real, we walk around
daydreaing but the sun is shining, the sunshine always is

Chours
I just wanna see my lovely sunshine, i just wanna bring back all of
my blue skies, and if you take away my rainbow i will cry (cry) cry (cry)
give me back my sunshine.

(songstress)
Dreaming in my state of being and i see you smiling so happy
just laughing and standing strong, im missing you right here
listen to my tears, im waking up to skies so gray im needing
you to brighten up my day

(Floesist)
Listen
Catch your breath cool out you need to calm down, lets concentrate
dont go making all your time run out, see your ok it looks much worst than
it really is and you'll pull through come on you know how we be doing
this, its me and you yo promised you cant pull out now, were friends
for life so you cant just sell me out, we shared alot but you
know we'll see to so much more our wedding day and the children
that we prayed for

Chorus

(songstress)
i used to depend on your eyes to show me the way that i should go
my reality is blurry im afraid of being all alone your light has been
my guide through out the good and bad i wish that i had spent a little
more attention to my one and only sunshine

(floesist)
Listen, listen
i'll never leave you, yo i swear that on my grave, damn whats that im
feeling dizzy kinda getting faint it aint nothing didnt sleep that
much last night from watching over you but no im cool im fine
i said im feeling fine so back up off me im alright
im here to see my friends yo whats up with that blinding light
said i dont need to lay down i dont need your help right now whats up
with all the noises all the running around you've got it wrong
im not the one who needs the help in here yo whats up with you your crying i see
tears
yo whats going on dont leave please dont take her out
said i don't understand im kind of feeling scared now, i said its getting hard
to breath getting hard
to see im not to sure anymore whats going on with me
please bring her back and let me talk just one more time but its to late the
last exhale is mine


. . .



At first you said I do
Now it's I did said
Together we shall live
But now you're mad
With the time we spend.
You used to be jealous of my friends
And fill my weekends,
But now you're off for past times
Playing games wit my mind
You're layin' the blame in my lap
But your layin' in my bed
Yo, I meant what I said
When you weren't listening,
So I'll say it again.

Chorus

See, I'm not sayin' it again,
See you need to know that I'm commin'
To an end of my silent partnering,
Off guard when I gain satisfaction bare minimum.
See your mind is made up to obey opinions from
Aqaintances whose situations suggest loneliness.
I try to leave but you protest professing you love me but,
Cards show me nothing you want me out but you keep me in.
Patience grows thin as you move through your motions,
I cry oceans my tears become orphans as my soul leaves this apartment,
Yo, I get migraines, heart pains,
Tear stains, unfair games, with increases in the pain.

You smiling star

Eventually becoming a way of life to me
Enough to keep contemptment

Baby
Ooo baby
Baby,baby
Ooo um baby
Oh baby

[1st Verse]

We need to um talk about where
We're taking this thing.
How far we're gonna let this go.
We've been here before.
Its getting late.

[Chorus]

It's getting late.
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me.
Watching, needing, wanting me.
I'm afraid, (Don't Be)
I'm afraid, (Don't Be)
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me, twice.
Baby, oh baby baby baby

[2nd Verse]

Listen, I've already been thinking about you on my mind.
Far too often for you,
To be here at this time
You see, one hands on mine and the other's on my thigh.
Look, I already played with the idea of you
Being here in the morning
And the position for the crack of dawn
And the conversation before the yawning
But aah, it's getting late, it's getting late .

[Chorus]

It's getting late.
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me.
Watching, needing, wanting me.
But I'm afraid, (you say) don't be.
But I'm afraid, (you say) don't be.
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice.
Oh Baby baby baby

[2nd Verse]

How's about I let you touch the space.
That you left behind,
The day that you stop smiling
The day that the tears started falling
But now were talking, touching
Almost making sensual again
We can taste the familiar,
Cause, the family hour supports it.
Of this moment, but was led by the movements cause ah
It's getting late.

[Chorus]

It's getting late.
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me.
Watching, needing, wanting me.
But I'm afraid, (you say) don't be.
But I'm afraid, (you say) don't be.
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice.
Oh Baby baby baby
Oh baby twice baby baby.

[3nd Verse]

I see the memories we replayed
Same space face bodies
I know there's a method to your manliness
But ah I'm a afraid

[Chorus]

It's getting late. (It's getting late)
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me.
Watching, needing, wanting me.
But I'm afraid, you say don't be.
But I'm afraid, and you say don't be.
I'm afraid that you'll gonna hurt me baby, baby twice baby

[Break Down]
I see the memories replayed, same spaces, same faces
Same bodies baby I know this method to your manliness
But I'm afraid, babe
I see the memories replayed, same spaces, same faces
Same bodies baby I know this method to your manliness

. . .



Remember how you used to ummm,
You used to phone up and (oohhh)
You just say hey you.You know, I
See you on my blank sheet before I
Write or form oracle this situation yo,
My memories choke me and stain my
Pillow as my voice become hollow as
I trace tear lines around this space
That won't fill yo I feel nothing but
This way and the emptiness stays
And its cluttered witha silence that
Teases me it leads me on like it's
Gonna say,like it's gonna say....

[Chorus:]
Hey you, I'm Sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back oohhh.
Hey you I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back one day.

You know yesterday I stood outside
In the rain in an attempt to dissolve
Away or just disappear or be gone be
Back or be just. I try to see the point
But I only see the pain. My dreams cry
When they're slain I regain consciousness
To blurry vision I try to listen out for whispers of.....

[Chorus:]
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back
oohhh.
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to comeback one day.

Rain drops disguise my tears have gone.
I want you to be here with me to stand by me.
See I can't help to be selfish baby
'Cause I don't want to be alone.

[Chorus:]
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave.
I'll try to come back, oohhh.
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave.
I'll try to come back one day.

Did I leave you behind or did you let me go?
All I know is you're not here to say to me
Those special words. (Hey You) Time was
Once on our side but now it's against us.
It parts us and we're not always (saints?)

[Chorus:]
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave.
I'll try to come back oohhh.
Hey You, I'm sorry that I have to leave.

. . .



[INTRO (Talking)]
Sometimes blindness finds me
and leads me through ignorance
not allowing us to gain experience
so we become lifeless
At other times I cover with
self pity or work aimlessly through reality so
Occasionally I choose to travel alone
but never fulfil my possibility so
mostly I attempt to achieve violence
by seeking right knowledge of loving
and reviewing and eventually overstanding those
many lessons of my life

[VERSE 1]
You got me caught in a stormy odd world that drains
and I beg to see truth and promises you made to me
now we've come so far but my visions of happiness
with you in my life I'm afraid and confused
If I was a bird I'd fly

[CHORUS]
If I was a bird I'd fly away
spread my wings so I'd escape
If I was the sky
I'd let it rain to wash away the pain

If I was a bird I'd fly away
spread my wings so I'd escape
If I was the sky
I'd let it rain to wash away the pain

[VERSE 2]
Now why do I feel so alone
knowing I know I have you
and what made you turn around on me
what did I do
and when did love feel this way
so much pain and misery
where's the you I once knew
and could ya fly with me

[REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]

Now I can't stay
you won't need me
set me free and let me fly
oh fly with me
fly with me me
fly with me yeah
fly oh fly fly

[REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]

Fly away
(music)
If I was the sky
I'd let it rain to wash the pain
(music)

. . .



Listen uh I met this guy and uh you know I don't get down like that
but we were together for a while and you know things
didn't work out but I can't be mad with him you know
cause we had some moments Yo I'll explain listen

We wrote fairy tales of how we'll live in castles tight
like Hansel and Gretal and grow old and settle in a town that we'll
tighten with our marry day we got a love like that like everyday like everyway
I cannot stay at yours tonight we can hold tight love bite
and share some soul we can pick and roll lose control and let me
take it like how I let you break it don't forget
We can get high on each other insert a time for it through the night and
back into the morning can't crack the habit
you see I'm feeling I'm needing some more and you got me grinning like it's
money that I'm winning No way is this ending cause you got me feeling
purer than thou show me how you do this thing cause
you got me singing like, Yo, for real....

He had me singing like some kinda opera shit
I don't know where we went with it, it was like.......I used to turn to him
and just whisper in his ear cause yo, I made him promises like I'd say ummm

I'll crown you king of this throne if you can take me home
like run with no stripes doesn't have to be tonight how's about
early morning I'm talking AM we can beat the dawning
or just chill few time barriers can't help the whispers of I do but you
see through my proper test got me making game faces in London
we say lacing you making sense this shit's intense I kinda [
] cause you move me so I broke my role and got freaky with it
You try to stave me with my own belt I ain't gonna lie I felt
the universe move you left me singing like Opera like Cleopatra
or Madam Butterfly you this shit's so good it brought tears
to my eyes I was like....

I'm telling you man it's no lie I was like.....
I just yo, I, I couldn't even igmore parts of me I was like grabbing on him
and We were happy for a minute for true Opera We'd be like yo yo yo

Was that suppossed to happen all that foot tappin' voice breakin'
now I'm carving Karma Sutra diagrams with the headboard
ignored the buzzer 4 times got up hard telling lies
even surprised myslef with my conniving ways I doved in like he meant
survival like he was christened H20 like he could make the trees grow
and the clouds spit snow He laid kisses on my chest
like his name was Zorro got me saying Hell No
when he said he had to go I was hiding clothes and play fighting with children
We were clashing Titans till weight we were losing
I had Slum Village ablum on repeat we were knockin boots to hip hop
beats I even reached my maximum in my sleep yo he had me singing like.....

Yo, for real I'm not lying listen up It was like....
I'm gonna break it down the truth is I got goose pimples now just
thinking about that shit yo,
Just his voice If I could hear his voice right now
I'd answer the phone like...... you know
what I mean yo listen if I knew where he was right now
I'd find him We split We split ways we went about you know we went
about our business I wanna know if he's making somebody else
hit that Opera you know cuz I ain't had nonna that in a

. . .



Mr. Messed up I should Have known ya
Yes you guessed it oh la its over.

The time was right.
THe vibe was right.
Ready to get into you all night
I wasnt really into puttin up a fight
I let you do your thing and your thing was tight.
Funny as it seems I had a ball with you
Wanted to eventually step all with you
I'm caught up in the middle of the desert sea
But still I let you get the best of me, best of me

I never really wanted to be with you
said,I'm just tryna be honest
I didnt even care for the things that you do
said, I'm just tryna be honest.
I never really wanted to give my love away.
I'm just tryna live honestly, think You and I can never be
So I'mma have to love and leave
Don't you take it personal, baby.
Mr Messed up I should have known ya
Yes you guessed it too bad it over
Dont you take it personal baby
Mr Messed up I should have known ya
Yes you guessed it too bad its over

Said oh la la,

. . .



All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile
when I try to say hello to you, yeah

And all you gotta do is not answer my calls
when I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why
when all I can do is sigh

I just wanna talk to you. . .

I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I. . .

All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real

. . .



Laundered linen sheets
Touch me their coldness
And thoughts I can't repeat
Shock me with their boldness
Why did my mind and body believe,
That you would never leave them?
Now there's parts of me that blame,
Or well they force me to deceive them
So come back and relieve them

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
These are lies
They're not real
This is more than I can feel
This is wrong [3x]

A bath so hot it almost scolds
And I let the warm surround me
I slide down
Till only my face shows
But I feel colder now
Than before you found me
When u used to pin me down
The clarity in your intent
But if you mind was somewhere else
I cant better anything you can invent
I thought you understood how much you meant

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
And these are lies
It's not real
This is more than I can feel
It's all wrong
Now you?re gone
I work hard to carry on
If you could've seen
How I've been
Then you?d know how much you meant

Who would steal you
I feel you
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
Don't you know how much you meant?

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
These are lies
They're not real
This is more than I can feel
