Madonna - American Life (2003)

Madonna - American Life Lyrics

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

I tried to be a boy,
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess,
I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong,
That's why I wrote this song

This type of modern life - Is it for me?
This type of modern life - Is it for free?
So, I went into a bar looking for sympathy
A little company - I tried to find a friend
It's more easily said it's always been the same
This type of modern life -Is not for me?
This type of modern life -Is not for free?

American life
I live the american dream
You are the best thing I've seen,
You are not just a dream

I tried to stay ahead,
I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part,
But somehow I forgot
Just what I did it for
And why I wanted more
This type of modern life - Is it for me?
This type of modern life - Is it for free?

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

American life
I live the american dream
You are the best thing I've seen,
You are not just a dream

I tried to be a boy,
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess,
I tried to be the best
I tried to find a friend,
I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top...

Fuck it...
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shot
It goes right through my body
And you know
I'm satisfied,
I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysic's shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing Is what it seems

Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star
Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name

Fugees - Fu-Gee-La (1996)

Fugees - Fu-Gee-La Lyrics

We used to be number 10, now we're permanent one
In the battle lost my finger, Mic became my arm
Pistol nozzle hits your nasal, blood becomes lukewarm
Tell the woman be easy Naah squeeze the Charmin
Test Wyclef, see death flesh get scorned
Beat you so bad make you feel like you ain't wanna be born
And tell your friends stay the hell out of my lawn
Chicken George became Dead George stealin' chickens
From my farm, damn, another dead pigeon
If your mafiosos then I'm bringin' on Haitian Sicilians
Nobody's shootin', my body's made of hand grenade
Girl bled to death while she was tongue-kissing a razor blade
That sounds sick maybe one day I'll write a horror
Blackula comes to the ghetto, jacks an ACURA
Stevie Wonder sees Crack Babies Be-Coming Enemies
Of their own families, what's going on?
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon
Trying to front like he's down with Mount Zion

1-Oooh La La La,
It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La,
It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah,
Sweeeeet Thing

Yeah in saloons we drink Boone's and battle goons till high noon,
Bust rap toons on flat spoons, take no shorts like poon poon's.
See hoochies pop coochies, for Gucci's and Lucci
Find me in my Mitsubishi, eatin' sushi, bumpin' Fugees.
Hey Hey Hey
Try to take the crew and we don't play play
Say say say
Like Paul McCartney, not hardly,
ODD-ly enough
I can see right through your bluff
Niggas huff and they puff but they can't handle us, WE BUST
Cause we fortified, I could never hide, seen "Cooley High",
Cried when Cochise died.
I'm twisted, black-listed by some other negroes,
Don't remove my Polos on the first episode.
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You shouldn't diss refugees, and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You whole sound set's bootie , and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You have to respect JERSEY, cause I'm superfly when
I'm super-high on the Fu-Gee-La.

(repeat 1)

I sit 90 degrees underneath palm trees,
Smokin' beadies as I burn my calories,
Brooklyn roof tops become Brooklyn tee-pees,
Who that be, enemies, wanna see the death of me.
From Hawaii to Hawthorne, I run marathons, like
Buju Banton, I'm a true champion, like,
Farakkhan reads his Daily Qu'ran it's a phenomenon,
lyrics fast like Ramadan.

What's goin' on
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with
Mount Zion.

(repeat 1 twice)

Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True Lyrics

I'm in love with you girl 'cause you're on my mind,
you're the one I think about most every time.
And when you pack a smile in everything you do,
don't you understand, girl, this love is true.
You're soft, succulent so sweet and thin
that's kind of like a vision upon your skin.
It lightens up my day, and that's oh so true.
Together we're one separated we're two.
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire.
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire.
You're pretty plain and simple, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
This is some sort of thing, girl, I can't explain,
my emotions starts up when I hear your name.
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear,
then delay my system when you are near.
Come with your positive emotion, love, making enjoyin'
that's for me to bust it's like a girl and a boy.
These feelings I get I often wonder why,
so I thought I might discuss this, girl, just you and I.
Now what you're wearing I don't care, as I've said before,
no reason that I like you, girl, just for what you are.
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you

Chorus :
He's comin' , he's comin'

Stay by his side
And he'll take you for a ride
He's comin' , he's comin'

Me and my boyz all day we hang
Representin' the fattest shit that you ever heard
One for the money and two for the girls
Ladies , let me see your G-string drop
Time for action you know

Knockin' out Niggas in the face

You wanna step you better check

Stop look and listen , let me introduce

Mad love respect for another

2 - 4 Family - Lean On Me Lyrics

Sometimes in our live, we all have pain
We all have sorrows, but if we are wise
We know that there´s always tomorrow

Lean on me (can you hear me now) 2-4 Family
Lean on me (depend on me)

I thought I heard you saying
That you´ve got hard times
If you feel that way
Why don´t you drop me a line
`Cause I´ll be there
To lend you a shoulder to cry on
I´m true blue the type of family member
That you can rely on
Fly on and hold up your head
Open up your ears and listen up
To what the dread said
Dead is the only way you´re hopeless
You´re still alive
So you need to take the time to scope this

Chorus:
Lean on me, when you´re not strong
And I´ll be your friend
I´ll help you carry on
(I´ll be your friend to the very end)
For it won´t be long
Till I´m gonna need somebody
To lean on (can you hear me now)

If thereis a load, you have to bear
That you can´t carry
I´m right up the road
I share your load, if you just call me

What ya going through, think
I wouldn´t understand
Was there for you when you lost your man
Paid the costs for your faults
Paved the way to save the day
So who´s the friend and who´s the foe
In the end it always shows
And even though, I gave you doe
When you was dead broke
A place to rest you head
When you had nowhere to go
Never asked for a penny in return so
When it´s cold, zero below
I´ll be your hero

Chorus

Ooh ooh (help you carry on)
(I´ll be your friend to the very end)
(Can you hear me now)
(Two to the four)

So just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem, that you´d understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Chorus (2x)

2 - 4 Family - Stay Lyrics

You don´t have to worry, to find somebody new
Just take a good look and you´ll find the thuth (right)
I´m telling you the secret, the one that you should know
Just live your life to the max, and work it slow

Stay
Oh Yeah
Aha, aha
Who you wanna see?
2-4 Family

Stay, don´t runaway, please lord just one more day
Stay, don´t be walking away

Remember way back in the days, when you was lokin´ with the playas´,
Connecting mad chips, colobarating about the capers
No love for the haters and the players of the game
Suspicious inpotane so you can´t maintain
No balance of reality from sane to insanity
The traffic jigo size, is what took insanity
But you made a simple boat down to Cally
Lugin´ in the ripps, smoke chips like hally
Anyhting you want, all you have to do is ask
Gets the final person to us, to a situation statice, but
You´re not sencere, what could be your future?
Live you life eveal from the highest evil

C´mon!
Don´t be walking away

I don´t wanna leave, but still I can´t stay,
The same old problems day after day
Looking find somebody calling my phone,
If ain´t my home, don´t wanna talk, leave me alone (aha,aha)
Should I live, should I stay? So many questions got me confused
Lord I´m confessin´, I´m stressin´, the physics of love are gone
To a happy home, they got me throwing shots on the dome
It´s on, but them about my mind, yo, a treasure
My family left so now I´m stuck with drastic measures
You say you love me but the feeling´s gone away
This relationchip´s a lie, can´t stay

Face to face, place to place, one more day, all you gotta do is stay
Face to face, place to place, 2-4 Family
Why you actin like you run outta time, goind down now that´s a lie
Talking bout you gotta fly, everythime I come around, Brotha how you sound
Take a chewes down, frontin like you new of this, nowin that you trigga with
I rafuse to get my heart tore, playin like a hard core, now you wanna go to war
But before, you was lovin it, talking that love shit, won´t play the dum shit, forget it

Essie: (available only in the "perfect tools remix")
And if it split it, that´s indeed ´´m gonna miss it, but pressure by a dollar-push up
I won´t kiss it, won´t you spit on me, only lies on your lips, from the lies that you keep
Bigger fish in a dish, you won´t be missed

All we need to do is stay, All we need to do is pray, oh yeah
Just Stay And Pray!
Stay, all we need to do is stay, all we need to do is pray, oh yeah
C´mon

Stay, don´t runaway, please lord just one more day
Stay, don´t be walking away (don´t be walkin away)
Stay, don´t runaway, please lord just one more day
Stay, don´t be walking away (but still I can´t stay)
Stay, don´t runaway, please lord just one more day
Stay, don´t be walking away, Stay!

Their first hit single, "Stay", was released and recorded in 1998 and reached the eighth position on the Viva Top 100 charts. The same year the 2-4 Family released a remix of Wham!'s "Last Christmas," under the moniker, Rap Allstars.

After the group split up early in 2000, a group with the same name was created, but with none of the original members. The recreation was unsuccessful and they disbanded after one unsuccessful single.
