Gemma Fox Album

(feat. MC Lyte)

[MC Lyte]
So sad she didn't make it, it's time for us to fight back

Cant believe he did that there,hit her up and pulled her hair no good he kept
her fearful
Every night he gave her earful "Dont do that,dont to this" her friends were
clueless
Her Mom had no idea that he wasnt playin fair but she was young damn she did
what she could to
Manage she didnt think that this fool would ever take advantage
Not only was he worthless on top of that he was stupid and thats how women
suffer i think
We've had enuff of.....

[Gemma]
[Verse 1]
Everyday she would call me with another story said her mans treating her so Ba-ad

This can't be the same girl thought your man was your world?
Can't you see hes making you so sa-ad
He creeps up on you daily leaves you with the baby he wont leave or go away its
all up to you
Girl we dont have a clue girl about your pain

[Chorus]
Girlfriend
How could let him treat you so bad (No-oh)
Girlfriend
You know your the best hes ever had (No-oh) [X2]

[Verse 2]
Got woke up in the night see blue lights shining brightly heard screams they
said a girl was
Dead caught up in a domestic that she could have left it her skull served
injuries to her head
I cant believe your gone girl what about ur son girl
Girl like you out of hes way for u ill say a prayer girl,put that man in jail
girl,ill miss
You friend

[Chorus]

To all my ladies if you feel me
Then cry for help you need to live your life learn to respect your self
You need to stop the pain break the chain look out for love make no mistakes its

Would u wake up on the hour,
Get the kids up,
Get them ready,
Do the washin up,
Press their clothes,
Get them dressed,
Plait their hair,
Cook breakfast.
Run them all to school,
Go home and tidy up,
The mess around the house,
While I don't give a fuck,
Could you handle roles reversed?

[Chorus]
Well, could you live the life for me?
Could you raise a family?
And would still have time for us?
Would you argue, fight and fuss?

Would you blow up my phone,
And ask if I'd come home,
Tell you I'm handling bizz,
And that's the way the thug lives,
Go in at two or three,
Slap you for questioning me,
Could you hide the tears that I cry,
And ask yourself Oh why?

You can pay the bills,
And all the credit cars,
You can pay the rent,
With all the money spent,
Could you handle roles reversed?

[Chorus x2]
Well, could you live the life for me?
Could you raise a family?
And would still have time for us?
Would you argue, fight and fuss?

Imagine if I never told you I loved you,
Would you stay or would you go?
Imagine if I never told you I loved you,
Would you stay or would you go?
Imagine if I never told you I loved you,
Would you stay or would you go?
Imagine if I never told you I loved you,
Would you stay or would you go?

[Chorus x2]
Well, could you live the life for me?
Could you raise a family?
And would still have time for us?

La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La...

It started the day when I called her,
Needed to cry on her shoulder.
I was upset,
Me and my man was argueing...
I was filled with suspision,
Really do need a decision.

What should I say or do? Or scream or cry?
I don't know why he always wants to be alone,
But he is never in his home,
Won't even answer to his phone...

Me and my girl drove to his place,
And see one sket all in his face.
Uh uh, this fool's getting replaced.

You make me crazy.
Why u wanna hold me down?
Wanna mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.
You make me crazy,
Mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.

Now this time I'm wiling out,
You 2 timing bastard got caught out.
Don't try and hold me down,
Cause I'm about to switch.
So don't even bring your chat to me,
You're just a cat for the pussy.
Don't try and hold me back,
Cause this bitch ain't going out like that.
Oh no.
Now see this smile up on my face,
I just set fire to your place,
Everything you have is now erased.
Don't mess with a girl when she's in pain,
It's a deadly serious game,
And now I hope you feel the same.

You make me crazy.
Why u wanna hold me down?
Wanna mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.
You make me crazy,
Mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.

Should of given me more time,
Should of been on your mind,
Never should of have my trust, oh no.
But now you have to act the fool,
Cause you made a bitch lose her cool.
Now I'm over you.

You make me crazy.
Why u wanna hold me down?
Wanna mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.
You make me crazy,
Mess around when you know I'm dowm.
You drive me crazy,
If you keep running around,
Wanna play around,
You get caught out.

You make me crazy,
You drive me crazy.
You make me crazy,
You drive me crazy.
You make me crazy,
You drive me crazy.
You make me crazy,

(feat. J2K)

Good men are few and far between,
Sometimes they are only in our dreams,
If you find one then you should cherish,
Every telephone call that he makes,
Alway gives you things and never takes,
Tells you that he loves you when you are sleeping.
Runs your bubble bath,
And always makes you laugh.
He'll never make you cry,
Or even tell a lie,
And he's always got your back, Oh,
And that's a matter of a fact, Oh.
Never forget to let him know just how much you love him so.

It's like looking for a diamond in the road,
Never gunna find another man who is enough,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
Now he's gone (gone gone gone).

I'm the only one to take up all the blame,
And he's the only one who me scream his name,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
My good man's gone (gone gone gone).

Had 2 deal with insecurities,
Always accusing him of cheating.
Everytime his phone rings,
I would listen.
Used to wait until he fell asleep,
Search the phone for messages,
Re-dial numbers that looked suspicious.

Always questioning where he has been,
Never gave him love at night,
Thinking of ways to start a fight.
And now he's up and left me,
And I have no one to caress me.
If I had only let him know,
Just how much I love him so...

It's like looking for a diamond in the road,
Never gunna find another man who is enough,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
Now he's gone (gone gone gone).

I'm the only one to take up all the blame,
And he's the only one who me scream his name,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
My good man's gone (gone gone gone).

[J2K]
It's your fault,
You don't listen.
Now I'm gone again,
I'm off on the road now,
Young, free and single,
Looking to make it with freaks now.
You see,
Your insecurities were weak,
Claiming that I cheat,
But now you're lying lonely on your sheets.
You see what happens now,
We had a good thing,
But now it's gone.
You did not wana listen,
Now I'm missin' ya singin songs now,
But that's long now,
I've made other arrangements,
I can't fit you in,
I'm booked up with prior engagements.
You shouldn't watch wit me,
You need to understand that,
I gave you one too many chances,
Now I watch my own back.
Don't worry I'll pick up my things and find my own flat,
It's like that, yeah,
No more,
I ain't fallin' for no chat.
So get off me girl,
And give me my rucksack,
Pass me the socks in the top draw,
I want my phone back,
Yep your necklace as well,
Come on, I own that.
Don't say anything else,
You can talk to my back...

It's like looking for a diamond in the road,
Never gunna find another man who is enough,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
Now he's gone (gone gone gone).

I'm the only one to take up all the blame,
And he's the only one who me scream his name,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
My good man's gone (gone gone gone).

It's like looking for a diamond in the road,
Never gunna find another man who is enough,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
Now he's gone (gone gone gone).

I'm the only one to take up all the blame,
And he's the only one who me scream his name,
But now he's gone (gone gone gone),
My good man's gone (gone gone gone).

Well now you say you wanna be loving me,
But back in the day I wasn't good enough for ya.
You wanna sleep with me,
Back in the day I wasn't good to love for ya.

You don't know about loyalty.
You don't know how to make a girl feel like royalty.
You don't know about conversation,
All you seem to be is a complication.

Here you go again boy, stressin' me out,
I ain't got no time for no messin' about.
Boy, your game is over.
You're a casonova.

Well now you say you wanna be loving me,
But back in the day I wasn't good enough for ya.
You wanna sleep with me,
Back in the day I wasn't good to love for ya.

You don't know about loving me.
Talk too much and I guess you don't know boy what love means.

Here you go again boy, stressin' me out,
I ain't got no time for no messin' about.
Boy, your game is over.
You're a casonova.

Well now you say you wanna be loving me,
But back in the day I wasn't good enough for ya.
You wanna sleep with me,
Back in the day I wasn't good to love for ya.

Shame on you boy,
But if I take you back,

You are my strength when I'm weak,
Oh oh oh oh,
You are the love, which lovers see,
You gave your everything,
So that I could have anything (anything).
You believed in me,
Put your trust in me,
For the strength that I see.
I wish that I could make it better for you,
The daily fights that you go through,
And still your there for me,
And still you care for me,
I'm still Daddy's baby.

And although we have our ups and downs,
You are my strength for higher grounds,
And still your there for me,
And still you care for me,

See I've had my share of ups and downs,
Been picked up and kicked back down,
I've had my share of abusive partners.
Then I fell pregnant at 17,
A single parent with broken dreams,
An education that barely mattered.

In a house full of sisters and brothers,
My nan and my dad and my mother,
Me and my daughter will survive.
Then my father was down with an illness,
And my sister was down with an illness,
Is there a God up in the sky?

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far.
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good.
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.
You'll be a superstar...

My father said he was dying,
No man could ask how long,
Who knows?
Said I feel in to depression...

I turned to violence,
But it weren't right,
Mamma said it don't stop things to fight,
Need to be strong now for your daughter.

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far.
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good.
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.
You'll be a superstar...

For all the tears I've cried,
I built on my pride,
It took the same to make me stronger.
See, never have I given in,
I let out the fighter within,
Now I see believing in me,
Was all I need.

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far.
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good.
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.
You'll be a superstar...

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far.
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good.
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.

Say it's the same sun spinning in the same sky
Say it's the same stars streaming in the same night
Tell me it's the same world whirling through the same space
Tell me it's the same time tripping through the same day
So say it's the same house and nothing in the house has changed
Yeah say it's the same room and nothing in the room is strange
Oh tell me it's the same boy burning in the same bed
Tell me it's the same blood breaking in the same head
Say it's the same taste taking down the same kiss
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you
Yeah tell me it's all the same
This is how it's always been
But if nothing has changed...
Then it must mean...
But the sun is cold - the sky is wrong
The stars are black - the night is gone
The world is still - the space is stopped
The time is out - the day is dropped
The house is dark - the room is scarred
The boy is stiff - the bed is hard
The blood is thick - the head is burst
The taste is dry - the kiss is thirst
And it's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you
Oh it's not the same
This isn't how it's always been
Everything has to have changed...

It's the fourth time in a week and you havn't returned my calls.
Said you're out there with your boys,
Do you know the pain you caused me?
Now I've been all alone,
I didn't have a choice.
I keep on playing your songs,
Cause I need to hear your voice.

Some say that I'm acting too hasty,
But I love you and it's driving me crazy.
Wish I could stop this soul from hurting.
Why don't you think of me...

[chorus]

When you're out there with your friends,
I wish that we could make amends.
Boy you're blind if you can't see,
That you're hurting me,
Hurting Me...
When you're out I'm home alone,
Thought I was your number one.
I don't wanna play no games,
My love is still the same,
Still the same...

I didn't sleep all last night,
Had the phone right by my hand,
Incase you tried to call,
To say you're coming home instead.
I hold my pillow tight,
Although I know I never could with you.
I can still smell you cologne,
And it's gunna have to make do...

As the tears roll down my face,
I wish we'd never changed from friends in the first place.
But I, I love you all the same...
Well, do you think of me...

[chorus]

When you're out there with your friends,
I wish that we could make amends.
Boy you're blind if you can't see,
That you're hurting me,
Hurting Me...
When you're out I'm home alone,
Thought I was your number one.
I don't wanna play no games,
My love is still the same,
Still the same...

I (I), Wish (Wish), You (You), Would call me.
I (I), Wish (Wish), You (You), Would call me.


[chorus]

When you're out there with your friends,
I wish that we could make amends.
Boy you're blind if you can't see,
That you're hurting me,
Hurting Me...
When you're out I'm home alone,
Thought I was your number one.
I don't wanna play no games,
My love is still the same,
Still the same...

I (I), Wish (Wish), You (You), Would call me.
