Stripped

STRIPPED (Part 1)

I've waited a long time for this
It feels right now
Allow me to introduce myself
I want you to come a little closer
I'd like you to get to know me a little bit better
Meet the real me
Sorry you can't define me
Sorry I break the mold
Sorry that I speak my mind
Sorry don't do what I'm told
Sorry if I don't fake it
Sorry I come too real
I will never hide what I really feel oh eh oh
Huh, so here it is
No hype, no gloss, no pretense
Just me
Stripped



CAN'T HOLD US DOWN

So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly the target don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls? Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down, Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down, Never can, never will
So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world (around the world)
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth (respect your worth)
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls? Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

Lil' Kim:
Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

Christina:
But you're just a little boy Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big To make up for small lil' things
So you're just a little boy All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big To make up for small lil' things
This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth (respect your worth)
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls? Shout louder! (shout louder)
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground (stand our ground)
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
This is for my girls all around the world (stand our ground)
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth (around the world)
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls? Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground (stand our ground)
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down (oh oh, oh oh)
Spread the word, can't hold us down
yeah, be here, you'll back againg
yeah, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera, yeah
Can't hold us down



WALK AWAY

What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?
I was naive Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed And devoured completely
And it hurts my soul Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control Cause I,
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need
To walk away from (yeeeah)
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I should have known I was used for amusement (for amusement)
Couldn't see through the smoke It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce but darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
I'm about to break I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need...
I can't mend This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Everytime I try to grasp for air
I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
I let out a silent prayer let it be over, over
Inside I'm screaming, Begging, pleading, No more
I don't know what to do
My heart has been bruised So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
It hurts my soul Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control Cause I
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need, Oh
I'm about to break And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need, Oh
I can't mend This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
I say...
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
Only thing I need to do is walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away



FIGHTER

After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I want to thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger
When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it...
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhhh, ohh-yeah ah uhhhuh
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing the victim now
But don't, even begin Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it...
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
How could this man I thought I knew Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME
I am a fighter and I I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back I've had enough
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter (fighter)
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter (fighter)
Thought I would forget But I remember
I'll remember, I'll remember
Thought I would forget But I remember
I'll remember, I'll remember
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter



PRIMER AMOR (Interlude)

Yo te contare una historia
De como un puertoriqueño me robo el corazon
Nunca mas he vuelto a amar de esa manera
Quizas jamas lo hare
Es la historia de mi primer amor
Era buen mozo con grandes y profundos ojos marrones
Un bailarin
Juntos nos perdimos en el ritmo del amor
Asi es como comenzo



INFATUATION

Ooh oh, hey, Hey...ooh ohh, hey
He comes from a foreign place An island far away
Intrigues me with every move
Til' I'm breathless, I'm helpless Can't keep my cool
Steals my heart when he takes my hand
And we dance, to the rhythm of the band
I feel his finger tips, grip my hips
And I slip as we dip into a state of bliss
Mama used to warn me To beware of those Latin lovers
She said I gave my heart too soon And that's how I became your mother
I said ay mama, you seem to forget I'm not in love yet
Sweet talk don't win me over
But I realized Big brown eyes can hypnotize When he says
I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm (ohh)
He tells me, mami I need ya And my heartbeat pumps so strong (oh)
Getting lost in el ritmo He whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation (Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation (Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Hey
Skin the color of cinnamon His eyes light up and I melt within
Feels so good it must be a sin I can't stop what I started I'm giving in
He brings life to my fantasies Sparks a passion inside of me
Finds the words when I can not speak In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
Mama used to warn me Not to rush love with another
She said I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter
Ay mama, you seem to forget I never will let
A man control my emotions
But when he smiles (when he smiles) I feel like a little child
When he says
I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm (whoa, whoa)
He tells me, mami I need ya And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)
Getting lost in el ritmo He whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation (Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation (Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Caught between my mama's words And what I feel inside
I'm wanting to explore his world But a part of me wants to hide
Should I risk it, can't resist it This has caught me by surprise
Should I, let him take me to Puerto Rico
I can't hold back no more Let's go tonight... Ooh, hey
You adore me, never be lonely, ohh (lonely)
I am full blood boricua (boricua) Read the tattoo on his arm (boricua)
He tells me, mami I need ya And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)
Getting lost in el ritmo He whispers te quiero, te quiero (oh, quiero)
I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation
I can't help, what I'm feeling Infatuated Oh ooh, ohh...
Infatuation
Hey



LOVES EMBRACE (Interlude)

Ooo you make me want to fly
Crying sky on that mountain
I'm so so afraid
Afraid of love's embrace



LOVING ME 4 ME

People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture And smiling to myself
I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you
My heart speaks before my mind thinks through And I blush as I say yes
What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak
Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being With abilities to set me free
Free, make me be me Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof We were meant to be
But the best quality thats hookin' me Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
People ask why I'm in love with you
Well, let me start by saying You got my heart by just being who you are
And what we got is between me and you
It doesn't matter about the money I make Or what I do, or that I'm a, huh, a star
Unconditionally you're there for me Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet
This is meaningful, is incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable
The way I feel, so sweet Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof We were meant to be
But the best quality thats hookin' me Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
Its so amazing how something so sweet
Has come and rearranged my life I've been kissed by destiny
Oh, heaven came and saved me An angel was placed at my feet
This isn't ordinary, he's loving me for me
Stripped of all make up, no need for fancy clothes
No cover ups, push ups With him, I dont have to put on a show
He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin
Fulfilling me entirely, taking all of me in
He's real,he's honest, he's loving me for me
Yeah



IMPOSSIBLE

Play something for me Alicia...
I just got something on my mind
It's impossible, It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hidin' from me
I don't know what hurt you I just, I wanna make it right
Cos boy I'm sick and tired of trying to read your mind
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible for me to love you It's the way it is
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible
If you makin' it this way
Impossible to make it easy
If you always tryin' to make it so damn hard
How can I, how can I give you all my love, baby
If you're always, always puttin' up your guard
This is not a circus Don't you play me for a clown
How long can emotions keep on goin' up and down
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible for me to love you It's the way it is
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible
If you keep treating me this way Over, over (over and over)
Impossible baby (impossible, impossible)
If you makin' it this way, this way
Oh baby, it's impossible If you makin' it this way



UNDERAPPRECIATED

I remember when it all first began We were tight right from the start
It wasn't long before you came on strong Trying hard to win my heart (trying to win it)
I played hard to get but I couldn't help I gave up my ironing
You were thoughtful Careful not to hurt the relationship
What happened to those days when You used to be compassionate
Caring what I thought and said So attentive gentleman
Now it's hard to turn your head away from the TV set
Taking me for granted lately Frankly, it's gotta quit
I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Back to the beginning, to the very beginning When our love was something new
Back when romance was important Not just another thing to do
I was feeling high on love tonight Thought I never come back down
Now it seems that you and me Have lost our solid ground
Half the time I realise I seem to give more than I get
Funny how things seem to change After a few years commitment
Used to talk for hours on end 'Bout our dreams while we lay in bed
How I missed those days when you stayed awake Now you roll over and snore instead
I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I miss those nice massages The long for closeness
The way you talk How it turned me on
The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips
I needed those days back
I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment



BEAUTIFUL

Don't look at me...
Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed In all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone Left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down Ohh no
You are beautiful In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do (No matter what we do)
No matter what we say (No matter what we say)
The sun will shine your way (yeahhhhh)
'Cause you are beautiful today
Everywhere we go (Everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
But tomorrow's another day (the sun won't always, always shine)
So keep on looking to the sky
We are beautiful No matter what they say
Words can't bring us down Ohh no
We are beautiful In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down Today



MAKE OVER

I can't believe what you did to me
Down on my knees and I need to break free
All these years, you violated me (violeted me)
I don't know why I can't feel inside
Trying to hide, can't make it all right
It's overkill, now I'm ready to fight (ready to fight)
I don't need nobody trying to make me over (make me over)
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Save it, all your bullshit, for another day
Feeling confined, like I'm being forced in
My vision's blurry and I'm lost in regrets
It's overload, and I'm out of control (out of control)
So sick and tired of feeling so misused (so misused)
Taking me down with all your mental abuse
I must say, gotta get you out of my head
Everybody's always trying to look me over (to look me over)
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Save it, all your bullshit, for another day
I'm the only one who can rescue me from me
Leaving the house another quarter to five
Slipped on my boots and I'm ready to ride (ready to ride)
And I feel so high, I feel so alive
Let down my hair, feel the wind on my skin (wind on my skin)
Crossing the water where my new life begins
And I close my eyes and take it all in
I don't need nobody trying to make me over (to make me over)
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Save it, all your bullshit, for another day
I'm the only one who can rescue me from me
I just wanna get away
Save it, all your bullshit, for another day
I'm the only one who can rescue me from me
You wanna bring me down x4



CRUZ

I'm leaving today Living it, leaving it to change
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied, twisted are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags finally on the move
I'm leaving today I'm living it, leaving it to change
As I'm driving I'm captured by the view
Of so much beauty, the road becomes my muse
The heat is rising and my head soars through the wind
Cool, calm, collective is a child that lost a thing
I'm leaving today I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
I'm leaving today I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
But somehow I'm missing I think I really miss it one day
Don't walk away And I'm feeling like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams
I'm free, finally free
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
I'm leaving today I'm living it, leaving it to change
See I'm leaving today I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
I'm leaving today (I'm leaving it to change) Living it, I'm leaving it to change
Living it, leaving it
Said I'm living it, leaving it
Living it, leaving it to change
(I'm leaving it to change)
But somehow I miss it
I think I really miss it One day



SOAR

When they push, when they pull Tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change
Can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in When your heart's crying out "that is wrong"
Will you love you for you at the end of it all
Now in life there's gonna be times When you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurities seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves For acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is
Don't be scared To fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers you will unfold
What are you waiting for
Spread your wings and soar
The boy who wonders, is he good enough for them
Keep trying to please them all But he just never seems to fit in
Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be Good enough for him
He's trying to change and That's a game she'll never win
In life there will be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurities seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves
For acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that one thing we should know is
Don't be scared To fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers they will unfold
What are you waiting for
Spread your wings and soar
In the mirror is where she comes Face to face with her fears
Her reflection looked forward on to her After all these years
However how she's tried to be Something besides herself
Now time has passed and she's ended up Somewhere else with regret
What is it is that makes us feel the need
To keep pretending Gotta let ourselves be
Don't be scared To fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers you will unfold
Don't wait no more
Spread your wings and soar
Find your road Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't look back in the window, you'll find your way
Always know all the answers will unfold
Oh don't wait
Spread your wings and soar
Don't wait no more
You've got to soar
Spread your wings and soar
Don't wait no more
No don't you wait no more
Spread your wings and soar
You've can soar
So what you waiting for
Don't wait, Don't wait
Soar



GET MINE GET YOURS

Baby you pretend that things ain't what they seem
All this tension telling me just exactly what we should be
Now I don't mind us being some kind of casual thing
Listen, all I wanna do right now is have your contact on me
Can you, put your hands my waistline
Want your skin up against mine
Move my hips to the baseline
Let me get mine, you get yours
Hang a please don't disturb sign
Put my back into a slow grind
Sending chills up and down my spine
Let me get mine, you get yours
If you see me with a man Understand that you can't question me
The feelings that you call, it ain't my fault
It can't help your jealousy
If you can handle the fact that What we have has got to be commitment free
Then we can keep this undercover lovin' comin', hittin' Underneath the sheets
Can you put your hands my waistline
Want your skin up against mine
Move my hips to the baseline

Hang a please don't disturb sign
Put my back into a slow grind
Sending chills up and down my spine
Let me get mine, you get yours
Now listen
So, come on and freak my body
We can get nasty, naughty
All night a private party
Gotta hit that spot just right
Work me like a 9 to 5
It ain't about the kissin' and huggin'
Cause this is a physical lovin'
Straight sweatin', our bodies are rubbin'
Gotta hit that spot just right
Work me like a 9 to 5
We have a physical thing
We'll make love, but don't fall in love
Let me get mine, you get yours
You spend time
Just enough so you get yours, and I get mine
No strings attached
I want your body, not your heart
Let me get mine, you get yours
Can you put your hands my waistline
Want your skin up against mine
Move my hips to the baseline

Yo, hot damn, Doc a jam like a summer show

For dead presidents I pimp like Huddy roll
Doc the one that excite ya divas (ow!) If the media shine
I'm shining with both of the sleeves up
Yo Christina, better hop in here
My block live and in color, like Rodman hair (yeah)
The club is packed, the bar is filled
I'm waiting for sister to act, like Lauryn Hill
Frankly, it's a rap, no bargain deals
I drive a four wheel ride with foreign wheels Throw it up
Baby it's brick city, you heard of that
We blessed, and hung low, like Bernie Mac
Dogs, let 'em out, women, let 'em in
It's like I'm ODB, the way I'm freaking

Gonna get a little unruly (ruly)
Get it fired up in a hurry (hurry)
Wanna get dirrty It's about time that I came to start the party (I came to start the party)

STRIPPED (Part 2)

Sorry if I ain't perfect
Sorry I don't give a -what-
Sorry I ain't a diva
Sorry just know what I want
Sorry I'm not a virgin
Sorry I'm not a slut
I won't let you break me
Think what you want (oh eh oh)
To all my dreamers out there - I'm with you
All my underdogs, ha - I feel you
Lift your head high and stay strong
Keep pushin' on



THE VOICE WITHIN

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there's no one else Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin To trust the voice within
Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul
When there's no one else Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin To trust the voice within
Yeah...
Life is a journey It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning You'll find all you'll ever need to know
You'll make it, You'll make it
Just don't go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you You know that I'm talking to you
When there's no one else Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin To trust the voice within
Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall



I'M OK

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
It's not so easy to forget
All the lines you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day I'm afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see there
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK, I'm OK



KEEP ON SINGIN' MY SONG

Oohhh, Yeah, Oooh Huh
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
& Nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
So I decided right here and now that my outlooks gotta change
That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
For everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feeling like they won't let me live life
& Take the time to look at what is mine
I see every lesson completely
I thank God for what I got from above
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on Keep on singing my song
I never wanna dwell on my pain again
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then
Remembering all of the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
Every step I vowed to take was towards a better day
Cos I'm about to
Say goodbye to every single lie
& All the fears I've held too long inside
Everytime I felt I could try
All the negativity I had inside
For too long I've been struggling. I couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feeling strong and moving on
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on I'm gonna keep on singing my song
Whoa, & everytime I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see
All the good around me
They wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Simply just remembering to breathe
I'm human, I ain't able to please
Everyone at the same time, so now I find
My peace of mind living one day at a time
I'm human and I answer to one god
It comes down to one love
Until I get to heave above
I've made the decision Never to give up
Til the I day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on & keep on singing my song.....
(They can't take anything from me)
I believe that they can do what they wanna.
Say what they wanna say (They can say what they wanna)
But I'm gonna keep on (Keep on )
I believe it That they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Say what you wanna say, but I'm gonna sing my song
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
