Cautions in the wind
The hardest part is through
You don’t have to try so hard
To make me fall for you

I’ve surprised myself
With what I’ve gone and done
Just today I heard myself
Swear you were the one

Chorus
Laugh I just have to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can’t believe
That your asking me
When I will love you
I already do
I already do

You’ve been doing fine
Please don’t change a thing
It’s too good to hide away
So i might as well come clean

I didn’t shout it out
But everybody knew
Funny you’re the only one who didn’t have a clue

REPEAT CHORUS

I gave you my heart
Can’t you feel the power
You want to see the light
Baby the sun’s been up for hours

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh friend the hour is near
You must go
And I’ll be here to face
An empty life on my own
I can’t hide it when I’m sad
After all the joy we’ve had
I already miss you
Like you’re already gone

If you could rock my heart to sleep
With your breath upon my cheek
I could dream, you’d be returning
With the dawn
But when I face reality
Hands of time, hands of time
Don’t turn for me
I already miss you
Like you’re already gone

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window
My whole world’s turning dark
In the time that remains
I will try to be strong
But I already miss you
Like you’re already gone

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window
My whole world’s turning dark
In the time that remains
I will try to be strong
But I already miss you
Like you’re already gone

I already miss you
Like you’re already gone

Repeat 1 to fade

I was told not long ago
Too $hort don’t stop that rap!?
Now everytime I grab the mic
I rock you just like that
8 years ago when I started to rap
I use to sell tapes everywhere
It was me and my homeboy freddy b, yoo
Kickin’ it like big players
Everybody loved my raps like 100 dollar bills
I rocked houseparties on 98th
Even rocked in 69 vill
Might find me on the mic at Hot Lips house
Or at the Eastbay Dragonspot
All the 85th boys with their hand in the air
Screamin’ Too $hort just don’t stop!?
Like Royal Park, like Plymouth Rock
First street and Sunnyside
Like Sobrante Park and Brookefield
East Oakland, yeah, that’s right
5 years ago I continued to rock
And if you haven’t yet heard my name
It was all in the papers, on the evening news
I was stone cold in the game
Around that time a friend of mine
My homeboy Lionel B hooked me up like this, yoo
On the stage just rockin’ the beat
Some say I have a dirty mind
Sometimes that might be true
But these are just some dirty times
I ain’t trippin’ on you…

I ain’t trippin’, keep on talkin’
You think i’m smokin’ that pipe
I got money, homeboy
I even got some of your future wifes
Well, my story goes like this, man
I smooth went out on wax
Singin’ Girl, That’s Your Life?
Female Funk? and Shortrapp?
Silky D worked the beat kicked me cold cash
I was ridin’ the bus one day
Next day I was on the gas
Everybody loved Too $hort
Rollin’ down the strip
Then one day just like that
Homeboy jumped on my tip
You started spreadin’ rumors, man
Said you saw me rappin’ in jail
No, I never came down to the flatlands
I was chillin’ with the homies from the hill
I ain’t trippin’ but the word went out
Sir Too $hort was through
Can’t really say where it all began
So i’ma blamin’ it all on you
Everybody use to say
Too $hort don’t stop that rap!?
Now everytime you see my face
You say i’m smokin’ crack
Oakland, California, I heard it all before
I’m makin’ big bank now, rockin’ the crowd
I ain’t trippin’ no more…

Now I’m back on top again
I still don’t stop that rap
Everytime I grab the mic
My bankroll’s gettin’ fat
Freaky Tales? took care of that
You know I’m comin’ up
Cause everytime you see my face
I’m rollin’ all so tough
When I made the cut…the-he-he Freaky Tales?
I started picturin’ this
I named my album Born To Mack?
With the cleaniest raps and beats
Everythin’ was kickin’ in
Me and Ran kept cashin’ checks
Next thing I know there you go
Guess who’s on my tip?
You said I just got out of jail
Jumped right back on that pipe
Your sister’s boyfriend told you, man
I’m smokin’ every night
Then you came to my show
And stood there so damn bold
You said Too $hort, man, you smoking’
And i’m standin’ here dreamin’ gold
I ain’t trippin’ no more
Really ain’t worth my time
So to squashed it off I kicked on back
And wrote you all the rhyme
Benzes rollin’, Beemers jettin’
And Caddies keep on dippin’
You keep on talkin’ all that crap
I ain’t trippin’…

Change, shit
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y’all niggaz to get up out the hood
Shit, I’m wit cha, I ain’t mad at cha
Got nuttin but love for ya, do your thing boy

Yeah, all the homies that I ain’t talk to in a while
I’ma send this one out for y’all, knahmean?
Cause I ain’t mad at cha
Heard y’all tearin up shit out there, kickin up dust
[Danny Boy] I ain’t…
Givin a motherfucker, heheheheheh
Yeah, niggaz
[Danny Boy] …mad at cha
Cause I ain’t mad at cha

Verse One: 2Pac

Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roller
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
Member when you had a jheri curl didn’t quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin how ya changed
Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game
Heard you might be comin home, just got bail
Wanna go to the Mosque, don’t wanna chase tail
I seems I lost my little homie he’s a changed man
Hit the pen and now no sinnin is the game plan
When I talk about money all you see is the struggle
When I tell you I’m livin large you tell me it’s trouble
Congratulation on the weddin, I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that’s no bullshitin
I know we grew apart, you probably don’t remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we’d BOMB
on the first motherfucker with the wrong shit on
Now the whole shit’s changed, and we don’t even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain’t even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same motherfucker bad
Go toe to toe when it’s time for roll you got a brother’s back
And I can’t even trip, cause I’m just laughin at cha
You tryin hard to maintain, then go head
cause I ain’t mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain’t mad at cha)

Chorus: Danny Boy

I ain’t, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain’t mad at cha)
I ain’t, mad, at cha

Verse Two: 2Pac

We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn’t
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I’m gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared
Besides bumpin n grindin wasn’t nothin on our mind
In time we learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow
And even though we seperated, you said that you’d wait
Don’t give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I’ll return but I gotta fight the fate’s arrived
Don’t shed a tear, cause Mama I ain’t happy here
I’m through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
They got me goin mad, I’m knockin busters on they backs
in my cell, thinkin, “Hell, I know one day I’ll be back”
As soon as I touch down
I told my girl I’ll be there, so prepare, to get fucked down
The homies wanna kick it, but I’m just laughin at cha
Cause youse a down ass bitch, and I ain’t mad at cha

Chorus: Danny Boy

I ain’t, mad, at cha (2Pac: I ain’t mad at cha)
I ain’t, mad, at cha (2Pac: A true down ass bitch, and I ain’t mad at cha)

Verse Three: 2Pac

Well guess who’s movin up, this nigga’s ballin now
Bitches be callin to get it, hookers keep fallin down
He went from nuttin to lots, ten carots to rock
Went from a nobody nigga to the big, man on the block
He’s Mister local celebrity, addicted to move a key
Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury
See, first you was our nigga but you made it, so the choice is made
Now we gotta slay you why you faded, in the younger days
So full of pain while the weapons blaze
Ge

Intro: girl, Ice Cube

[Ice Cube, do you think you could give me some money to get
my hair done?] How short’s your hair right now?
[Well you know I get it done every week, and I need my nails
done too] Look, I’ma tell you like this

Verse One:

I ain’t the one, the one to get played like a pooh butt
See I’m from the street, so I know what’s up
On these silly games that’s played by the women
I’m only happy when I’m goin up in em
But you know, I’m a menace to society
But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me
So I step to em, with aggression
Listen to the kid, and learn a lesson today
See they think we narrow minded
Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded
So I walk over and say “How ya doin?”
See I’m only down for screwin, but you know
ya gotta play it off cool
Cause if they catch you slippin, you’ll get schooled
And they’ll get you for your money, son
Next thing you know you’re gettin their hair and they nails done
Fool, and they’ll let you show em off
But when it comes to sex, they got a bad cough
Or a headache, it’s all give and no take
Run out of money, and watch your heart break
They’ll drop you like a bad habit
cause a brother with money yo, they gotta have it
Messin with me though, they gets none
You can’t juice Ice Cube girl, cause I ain’t the one

Interlude One:

[Girrrrrl, you got to get these brothers for all the money
you can honey. Cause if they ain’t got no money, they can’t
do nothin for me but get out of my face.]

[I know what you mean girl, it ain’t nothin right jumpin off
unless he got dollars]

Verse Two:

Sometimes I used to wonder
How the hell an ugly dude get a fine girl’s number
He’s gettin juiced for his ducats
I tell a girl in a minute yo, I drive a bucket
And won’t think nuttin of it
She can ride or walk, either leave it or love it
I show her that I’m not the O, the N-E, say
I’m a ruthless N-I double-G A
Cause I’m gamin on a female that’s gamin on me
You know I spell girl with a B
A brother like me is only out for one thing
I think with my ding-a-ling, but I won’t bring no
flowers to your doorstep, when we goin out
Cause you’ll take it for granted, no doubt
And after the date, I’ma want to do the wild thing
You want lobster huh? I’m thinking Burger King
And when I take you, you get frustrated
You can’t juice Ice Cube and you hate it
But you see, I don’t go nuts
Over girls like you with the BIG ol butts
It start comin out the pocket, to knock it
But when the damage is done…
You can only lay me girl, you can’t play me girl
For the simple fact that, I ain’t the one

Interlude Two:

[I don’t care how they look if they got money,
we can hook up but they ain’t gettin none.]

[Yeah I just make em think they gonna get some,
play up they mind a lil bit, and get that money.]

[Oh Ice Cube, can I have some money pleeeease?]

Verse Three:

Give you money why bother
Cause you know I’m lookin nothin like your father
Girl, I can’t be played or ganked
Ganked means getting took for your bank
Or your gold or your money or something
Nine times outta ten, she’s giving up nothing
They get mad when I put it in perspective
But let’s see if my knowledge is effective
To the brothas man they robbing you blind
Cause they fine with a big behind, but pay it no mind
Keep your money to yourself homie
and if you got enough game
You’ll get her name and her number
Without going under
You can’t leave em and love and stay above em
I used to get no play now she stay behind me
Cause I said I had a Benz 190
But I lied and played the one
Just to get some now she feels dumb
To my homies it’s funny
But that’s what you get trying to play me for my

Well, I’ll tell you plainly baby
What I plan to do
‘Cause I may be crazy baby
But I ain’t no fool
Your daddy’s rich, mama
You’re overdue
But I ain’t the one, baby
Been messing with you
Got bells in your mind, mama
So won’t you pardon me
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe

Now you’re talking jive, woman
When you say to me
Your daddy’s gonna take us in baby
‘N take care of me
You know and I know, woman
I ain’t the one
I never hurt you sweet heart
I never pulled my gun
Got bells in your mind, baby
So won’t you pardon me?
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe
Time for me to put my boots out in the street baby
Are you ready boots — walk on

All right there missy, let me tell you a thing or two
Now you’re talking jive, woman
When you say to me
Your daddy’s gonna take us in baby
‘N take care of me
When you know and I know, woman
I ain’t the one
That ain’t my idea — uh unh — of having fun
Got rings in your eyes lady
So won’t you pardon me
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe
I must be in the middle of some kind of conspiracy

Girl you should know
play around with fire and you might get burned
you must be insane

Think that I’m a hoe
playin’ me for easy, sleezy baby you should know
That ain’t the way I roll.

Chorus:
Don’t play dumb
when u know u want some
u ain’t gonna get it
baby u know i ain’t the one.

He was your man but he’s my bestfriend
i ain’t gonna hit it
baby u know i ain’t the one.

I just can’t understand
why u wanna go behind the back of my bestfriend
messin’ around wit me
you must be insane
don’t u realize the game done reckonized it’s game
so face reality

Chorus (2)

get it no… get it no (repeat 4)

Bridge:
I ain’t crazy (I ain’t crazy babe) this is all too close
Don’t try to play me (Don’t try to play me like a fool) cause baby I ain’t
the one
Don’t play dumb, when u know u want some.
he’s my bestfriend
he’s your man.

Chorus (3)

(Darkchild, 2000 Watts, y’all ready)

Tyrese, Darkchild,
Baby you tell me what you’re used,
But there’s certain things I don’t do.
So when you thinking I’m gonna trick on you,
I dunno what gotten into you, baby.
Cause I never bought a diamond,
And I never took you shopping.
And I ain’t gonna start right,
I’m sorry that not the way I get down.

Baby I don’t know, who you have played before,
But baby it’ll never be me,
I’m not the one that you be playing, no.
Baby I don’t know, what you have heard before,
And all the things you heard about me,
I hope I didn’t let you down, baby.

Baby, baby I ain’t the one,
To get your hair and nails done.
Girl I’m not about to buy you everything,
Like material things, shopping sprees,
Girl that ain’t me.

To get your hair and nails done.
Girl I’m not about to buy you everything,

Girl you said that were big on me,
But all you big is on is my money,
And baby girl I’m on to you,
And it’s a shame cause I was digging you.
Baby, if you wouldn’t have to see me,
You would’ve almost been my baby,
But baby check it, I’m cool on you,
Now can you tell me who’s playing you.

Baby I don’t know, who you have played before,
But baby it’ll never be me,
I’m not the one that you be playing, no.
Baby I don’t know, what you have heard before,
And all the things you heard about me,
I hope I didn’t let you down, baby.

Baby, baby I ain’t the one,
To get your hair and nails done.
Girl I’m not about to buy you everything,
Like material things, shopping sprees,
Girl that ain’t me.

Like material things, shopping sprees,
Girl that ain’t me.
Baby, baby I ain’t the one,
To get your hair and nails done.

Girl that ain’t me.
Baby, baby I ain’t the one,
To get your hair and nails done.
Girl I’m not about to buy you everything,
Like material things, shopping sprees,
Baby that ain’t me.

Baby you don’t have a clue,
How much I’m really feeling you.
I’m willing to do anything,
But spending all my money ain’t cool.
Girl that just ain’t cool.
It’s not about material cause money never buys you love.
It won’t be buy you love.
I never wanted anything except a little bit of your trust.
(Darkchild)
All the trips around the world, girl that ain’t me.
All the diamonds and the pearls don’t come easy.
Not trying to buy your love with luxuries,
Baby all I want is you to be with me.
All the trips around the world, girl that ain’t me.
All the diamonds and the pearls don’t come easy.
Not trying to buy your love with luxuries,
Baby all I want is you to be with me.

Meet me on the bottom,
bring me my running shoes.
When I come out the window,
we ain’t got time to lose.

Well I ain’t superstitious,
but a black cat crossed my trail.
Don’t brush me with my broom, Babe,
I just might land in jail.

Well my right hand itchin’, Babe,
I get smothered by the shore.
Look down you engine, Babe,
but somebody got to go.

Meet me on the bottom, Babe,
bring me my running shoes.
When I come out the window, Babe,
we ain’t got time to lose.

Well I hope you are listening,
when I come streaking by.
Got a bad old man, Babe,
and I’m too young to die.

Well I ain’t superstitious,
but a black cat crossed my trail.
Don’t brush me with my broom, Babe,
I just might land in jail.

Dogs been barking
all around my neighborhood.
You give a sign, Babe,
ain’t do nobody no good
